It is reported that rich Placer
mine has been struck on the
Muddy, the Gold nuggets, being
in size.
The Utah Spur has been leased
by Alex Harrison, late of Silver
Reef, Ed. Freudenthall, of Phoebe

Lessee having 200 feet.
From half to three-quarters Of a

will show rich mines in that vicin-
ity.
We understand that Hon r. @.

the new mines in the Vicinity of
Desert Springs, to investigate the
properties. There are about 700
men working in that region.
The new mines Utsh Spur,
Spring Mine, Ophir, &C., in Line
District, are situated II miles, in
a northwesterly direction from
Desert Springs, and s miles near
ley due east from Rices Ranch, in
Spring Valley, and from all ac-
counts are abundant with wealth.
Matthew Daley Completed, on
February s, the surveying of a
Townsite for Peter Pife, Andrew
Corey, Thomas Roche, of Chdar

honse where the meeting of which
I speak had been held, and we
were confirmed members of the
church of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints, and, oh! the JOY that /
felt my lips cannot describe and a
pen is q week instrument, indeed,
in my hand to attempt to portray
it for the spirit of God did In very
deed bear witness to me that it was
Of God and it was beyond, the
power of man to convince me other
wise.
AT this time I was working with
my father for farmer, and know
ing that my father was prejudieed
against the Latter-day Saints by
the ministers and others talking to
him, l had concluded in my own
mind to say nothing to him at
present in regard to my becoming
q member Of that church. Accord
ingly on the following morning we
started out as usual to our labors.
We had not gone bnt short dis
lance before we met father Win
terton, the old man before mention
ed, on whom the syn shote so
beautifully, on that dark day when
he was baptized, and he hurried up
to us and grasped me by the hand
and turning to my father said,
"There is fine boy about nine
hours old OF course my father
knowing I was attending the meet
ings of The Saints, also knowing
that / was out late the night be-
fore, took in the situation at once
and as soon as we got away, he
said 'was you fool enough to join
them mormons last night?" | re-

allowed him to talk without IN
terrupting him, until he ceased. I
then said, father, are you done?'
He said he was / then asked him
If he would listen to me? He re-
piled that he would. / then told
him d few things pertaining to the
Gospel, and before I was aware of
it, | bore faithful testimony to
him Of the truth Of the Gospel!
1t had g good effect and it was
not long before he was baptized,

We arc willing to admit that the

industries and mechanical arts, but We
have scarcely been prepared fer the an
rCunccmeIt that they arc ahead CT us
III certain points i'll surgery. Antiscptic
dressings ale s.n.cng the absolutely rec
ossu1y surgical appliances There is
lnc1e CT less difficulty i'll preparing
them, and they are fer the most part
expensive, and many Of them are not at
all satisfactory. During the war Jap
ancse su1gecrs used tic ashes ct rice
straw as dressing fer wounds, aud
met with NEST remarkable success. The
wound was cleaned, the ashes applied
freely, then sublinlate gauze OF linen
was used as wrapping. These ashes
are said to be a perfect antiscptic, and
eve these qualities to the presence Of
potassium carbonate. English and Amer
lean surgeons are trying this dressing,
and if it is as successful in their hands
as i'll the japanese, it certainly is a
wonderful stride i'll antiscptic surgery,
and is unGuesticnably the cheapest
dressing that has ever been prepared

Two Patriots Whose Names Should Never
lie Forgotten.

Two Patriot. Whose Names Should Never
lie Forgotten.
Lincoln owed nothing to his birth,
every thing to his growth; had no train
Ing save what he gave himself; no
nurture, but only a wild and native
strength. His life was his schooling,
and every day of it gave to his charac-
Ter new touch Of development. His
manhood not only, but his perception
also, expanded with his life. His eyes,
as they looked more and more abroad,
behold the national life and comprc-
henacd it, and the lad who had been so
cough cut Il provincial became, when
grown to manhood, the one leader i'll
oil the nation who held the whole peo-
pie singly i'll his heart-held even the
southern people there and would have
won them back. And so we have in him
what we must call the perfect develop
ment Of native strength, the rounding
out and naturalization CT the provin-
cial. Andrew Jackson was type, not
of the nation, but Of the west. For all
the tenderness there was in the stormy
heart of the masterful man, and starch
and simple loyalty to all who loved
him, he learned nothing il the cast T;
kept always the flavor Of the rcug1,
school i'll which he had been bred; was
never more than frontier soldier and
gentleman.
Lincoln differed from jackson by all
the length CT his unmatched capacity
to learn. jackson could understand only
men CT his own kind. Lincoln could
understand men Of all sorts and from
every region tf the land; seemed him
self, indeed, to be ill men by turns as
mood succeeded mood in his strange
nature. -TCru,,l.

HORSE MEAT DEFENDED.
An Authority Claims Prejudice Prohibits
ITS General CHe.

Its General Use.
Everybody liz aware that the horse is
the clcanest III al domestic animals It
will net cat anything but good, healthy
feed, nor drink any but pure water. A
horse would rather starve than swill
the rotten stuff cftcn given to pigs and
cattle. 1t is !c:.!irg but prejudice tl.at
prevents us from eating hcrscdesh.
A similar prejudice retarded the in
PRODUCTION CT me potato 100 years ago.
Today we could not get along without
it. Yet the prejudice against potatoes
can lie explained. The people had been
told that this American root caused
fever and rendered the ground unfit for
all Other crops. The exception against
horscflcsh is not even founded upon any
objection to its properties. 1t is solely
due to the influence Of the church. The
clergy did everything possible to PRE-
vent the newly converted Saxons from
returning to their heathenish practices
and prohibited the use Of horscfcsh to
stop the sacrifices to Odin and Thor. A
long time passed Lcfcrc these sacrifices
were altogether discontinued.
The nations of Europe have suffered
enormous less by this prohibition of
horsefiesh. Especially from the humani-
tartan point Of view the results are most
deplorablc. Millions of people are forced
to live on potatoes and similar food
wanting in nutritive qualities. while
millions Of pounds of the very best meat
are wasted. Eorscfesh is the most
nourishiEg Of all meats, and its taste is
hardly to Re distinguished from that of
beef The flesh of horse fed on oats
has smell similar to gcoscf1esh. The
fat is preferable to lard. Above all, it
should be remembered that no flesh is
SO healthy as that Of the horse. Trichi-
ncsis and similar diseases are unknown
i'll horses. tuberculosis, very common
in cattle, is very rare in horses.-Frsi.k-

A Day Of Great Noise.

The evolution Of Fourth CT July has
carried the celebration Of the national
anniversary so far away from the cid
standards that it has ceased to have any
close reference to the stirring events it
was intended to commemorate. Had the
igners Of the Declaration any idea of
what would occur OH July 4, 1896, it is
possible they might have hesitated be-
fore they affixed their names to that
document. John Adams, it is true, rec.
ommendcd that the day should be OBJ
served with IL great noise, but it is like
y that the old patriot had in mind the
singing Of bells, the firing Of cannon
and the patriotic shouts of vast multi
tudeA rather than the juvenile pandc-
mouium which is now about all that is
left Of Fourth Of July celebrations

There is the man who fires the can

little boys and the terror Of the ladies,
who realize what q hero he must be
when he can stand so close to the death
dealing instrument during conclusion
which even at distance makes them
stop their cars He is even more impor-
tant than tie man who bosses the bar
becuc. and is UNNECESSARILY above the
man who stirs the lemonade, who in
turns shoots out the lip at him who puts
up the swings as a fellow of low occu-
patton and worthy Ct no consideration.
So great is the immortal Fourth that, in
fact, it communicates some of its great
ness to every one who Oh that day does
anything Of public character, and CIV

function in virtue CT that fact feels en-
titled to lift his head above his fellows
