No Information, Official or Other

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-A special to
the World from Washington says:
DR.. Booker. secretary of the papal
legation, speaking for Cardinal Satolli,
about report that his eminence would
leave for Rome about February 10, and
that Mgr. Gresselli had been selected
to succeed him as representative of the
pope in the United States, said last
night:
mo information. official or unofficial.
has been received here of the date of
Cardinal Satolli's recall to Rome. The
cardinal himself does not anticipate
leaving the United States for six or
seven months yet, although of course
his recall may come at any time. He
would probably have been notified be-
fore now if there had been any inten-
ton to appoint his successor so early.
We have heard no suggestion as to
who will succeed him. Mgr. Grasselli's
name is the first mentioned and even
then by rumor. Satolli has made ar
rangements to start on February II on
a tour of the south and southwest,
which he expects will take month,
and he has made no attempt to cancel
the enga gements that he has made in
New Orleans and elsewhere"

ORE AT PELICAN POINT.
The Mercur Belt Gains Another Lap
Beyond the "CircIe.v

Like the surging tide, which no man
can stay, the ore zone of Camp Floyd
has broken through the charmed cir
Gle" and where or when it's onward
march viii be stayed no mortal man
can tell
A few weeks ago Peepstone district
was the extreme eastern limit of the
ore-washed strand; there notice was
served that the ores had reached a
point in the foot hills on the west shore
of Utah lake, and the latest from that
locality S to the effect that at Peli-
can Point, still further south, large
bodies of ore have been found that are
very similar in appearance to that
found at Mercur and Sunshine.
Mike Fitzgerald, of Fairfield, has To-
Gated ten claims in that locality, and
he reports that the formation is iden-
teal with that of Camp Floyd dis
trict. The Lodges are large and the ere
assays from S1.75 to $3.50 in gold at the
grass roots A good many claims have
been staked out there, and in the
spring a large amount of development
work will be done in that vicinity.
At Goshen Pass, three miles from the
lake. John Morehouse and Mr.. Fitz-
gerald have made several locations.
The formation is somewhat different
there. but it is believed that the ore,
which assays we'll on the surface, can
be treated by the cyanide process.
