CHURCH UNITY.
The Subject Discussed By the Pres.
byterian General Assembly.

SARATOGA, n. Y, May 25.-The Pres
byterian general assembly decided today
to take no action in reference to the
church unity, favoring the report which
was presented on this subject and which
called for a declaration that this was a
Protestant Christian country. If the
forenoon hour had not expired before &C
ton could be had, it would have dis
charged its committee on relations or
Young peoples societies to the church
But the surprise of the day came at the
afternoon session when a paper was sub
mitted in regard to the s2,0Q0.00O building
in New York by William NJ. Hubbard
of Auburn. N Y. 1t had been known
there was a strong feeling in regard to
this building. but it was not anticipated
1t would take this shape. The subject
was made an order for tomorrow morn
ing. but it is believed that by reason of
the opposition of the missionary board 1t
will probably go over until Thursday.
The discussion promises to be animated
at least.
The paper read to the conference sub
mitted two propositions. John 5. Ken
nedy of New York City, offered to take
the new building out of the hands of the
cost. Miss Rachael Lennox Kennedy,
owner of the old building, the historic
Lennox homestead at Twelfth street and
Fifth avenue, offered to repair and make
such alterations in the premises as might
be desired, provided the mission boards
would return and occupy their old
quarters The paper concluded with a
resolution to accept both propositions and
thanking Miss Kennedy for her generous
gift and expressing appreciation of her
generosity and fidelity to the church of
her fathers"

Hearing In the Matter of Changing
the Boundary Lines Between Two
School Districts-Routine BUSH
ness Transacted.

But little business of Importance
was transacted at the meeting CT the
county commissioners yesterday.
The feature was the hearing in the
matter. of changing the boundary line
between school districts No. % and 81
at Draper, two factions appearing. W.
B. Ennis. of the board of trustees OF
district % was present and made an
argument against the change, while
of district 81 argued just as strongly
in favor of the change.
The matter went over.
A resolution authorizing the execu-
ton of the street sprfnllling contract
With B. Jensen was adopted.
Certificates authorizing George All
good, George Spires and D. A. San
ders to spray fruit trees We're granted.
Charles Brow's claim for 500 for re-
moving distractions from highways
was allowed.
Claims for refunds of erroneous tax
sales were referred to the county attor-
rey.
Replies were received from road SUI
pervisors regarding alleged encroach-

LINCOLN ANECDOTES.
Incidents illustrating the Breadth
of His sympathy.

Copyright, 1886, by S. S. Mcclure Coz
The following incident was related to
me by the late Mr.. Orville H. Brown
ing. of Illinois:
In 1864, when the period OF enlistment
of the three years men was expiring
many of them stopped short in the SER
vice on the day when they believed their
three years term was finished without
waiting for the formalities of being mus
tered out, or for any official verincation
of their term. Necessarily many of them
made mistakes, and some quit the service
under circumstances amounting techni-
cally to desertion. Strenuous measures
became necessary to check this evil. Mr.
Stanton, secretary of war, directed court
martial proceedings to be held over the
next case in which the retiring soldier
law be strongly enforced. These direc-
tons were carried out in a case occurring
shortly thereafter, and the court martial
found the retaken soldier guilty of deser-
ton. stanton took, the order for the exc
cution of the defendant to Lincoln for his
signature and approval, and related the
circumstances which rendered il of the
greatest necessity to make an example
or one of these deSerterS in order to re-
tain discipline in the ranks and hold the
men in line until their mastering out
could he had and their places filed He
secured Lincoln'S signature, and while
retiring from the room ne incidentally
remarked that this was just the case in
which TO make the example as the man
had no friends any way. Lincoln detained
stanton for a moment making general
inquiries as to progress of affairs. and
then SAID: Let me see that order you
have there, and taking it and retaining
it., remarked: We'll, since he has no
friends Will be his friend,'' and cancelled
the order, and directed the man reprieved.

Leon Grow and Roue Gillespie arriv-
ed in the city yesterday loaded down
with samples of ore from new dis
covery made by them in the noun
tains about eleven miles northeast of
the late finds in Pennington canyon.
These gentlemen went out Sunday
for the purpose of investigating the
prospects located near Pennington and
Centervilie. but as these did not come
up to their expectations. they decided

with the result that in the locality
above mentioned they found a three
foot vein cropping on the surface that
carried four inches of high-grade ga
lena ore that probably runs well in sill
Yer, the balance of the body consist
ing OF very lively looking honey comb
ed copper and iron-stafned quartz.
Before returning home Messrs. Grow
and Gillespie made three locations on
the ledge and are now waiting for as
say tests on the orc and quartz before
going back to thorough ly develop the
property.
According to their reports, the snow
is still quite deep in the mountains,
especially on the northern SLOPES, but
when the ground is barred they propose
to do considerable prospecting at a
point between Pennington and their
newly discovered mine, where, they
state. they found rich feat that carried
free gold. some of which was visible
TO the naked eye. and in several pieces
of the rock particles of gold as large as
a grain of wheat We're plainly 10 be
seen.
The prospects for q new camp in this
locality are exceedingly promising and
il can not be long now before more will
be learned concerning it.

Soothed Her Feelings.

COOtneu ftcE Ceilings.
Two incidents occurring in cars few
days ago exhibit the thoughtlessness
which some women daily display, says
the New York Herald. One took place
in a Sixth avenue elevated train. A
party of six, three gentlemen and three
ladies, entered the car and found seats.
Two of them took a cross seat and the
others placed themselves in the rear of
the car. When the train slowed up at
the Cortlandt street station, for some
unexplained reason the rear of the car
was beyond the platform, and all who
had gone to that end to get off were
Obliged to retrace their steps and walk
through the car to the front platform.
Meanwhile four of the party of six
sought to better their positions and
when the passengers about-faced the
four were standing in the aisle waiting
for one of them, a pretty girl, to make
her choice. She stood for fully two
minutes, a long time to busy Ameri-
cans with boats to catch, specula ting
as to the relative merits of cross and
side seats, while the impatient passen-
gers pushed and crowded in their eff
forts to get out. Finally the other girl
said: Nell, do sit down; don't you see
they want to get past?" And Nell sat
The other incident was observed in
an electric car at junction in Jersey
City. AS the car stopped, passenger,
a lady, started to get out. There were
several women waiting to get on, and
the. conductor held up warning hand,
saying as he did so: "One minute,
please, till the passenger gets off, The
first woman paid no attention but
climbed up and pushed past him into
the car. a second time he said: -"One
moment, please" and a second time he
was ignored. Again: "One moment,
please" with the same result The
conductor, as he saw all were deter
mined to enter. turned in despair to the
lady waiting a chance to get off. but
as he saw she was smiling in amused
way ne ceased saying, "One moment,
please" and counted as four. five, six,
seven women forced their way into the
car. AS the conductor pulled the bell
after the lady had alighted, he was
heard muttering something about the
uselessness- of trying to make. women
do anything"

statement made in these columns.

ing made now was much larger and
at lesser cost than has been the case
for some time past.
Major Stanton, superintendent of the
Lucky Boy mine, at Custer City, Ida,
which was closed down a few weeks
ago on account of a strike precipitated
by the Miners union, left last night
with a crew of men with the intention
of reopening the mine about the first
of June. The mill will be started up
about the first of July.
The Bingham Tunnel company is
pushing work on its enterprise and the
tunnel is now in a distance of 500 feet.
a force of seven men is now being
employed, which will be increased to
ten on the first of the month. This
tunnel is to be $4,000 feet in length
and is being constructed for the pur-
pose of draining the Old Telegraph and
Dalton & Lark country.
The latest reports from the Ophir
Consolidated and Golden Eagle mines
in Central district, Nevada, are most
encouraging. One shift is employed in
opening up the former, while two shifts
are working at the latter, and the
Eagle shows four feet of good ore. An
ore shipment from these properties will
be made about June /. The Golden
Eagle is looking so well that its stock
has been Withdrawn from the market.

MERouR LOOKING WELL.
Visitors Well Pleased Over the Out
look For the Camp.

The party of Salt Lakers swho made
a visit to Mercur Sunday, returned
home more than pleased with the fu-
ture outlook for the camp, and the ex-
tensive developments that are now go
ing on there and in other portions of
the district.
The town of Mercur also, which is
now beginning to put on metropolitan
airs, presented a decided change for
the better from what it was year ago,
and with its many new buildings, some
of them quite pretentious for mining
camp, among the number being the
Spooner block, the Mercury block and
the Murphy & Preble structure, the
town really stands among the other
cities of Utah as a prodigy, consider
ing its age.

ed a great deal of interest, and in show
ing the visitors through this great
property, the management displayed its
usual courtesy to strangers, as well as

To those who had never visited the
mines of Mercur before, the mammoth
bodies of gold ore exposed in the Mer-
cur mine was to them a revelation,
and they were astonished at such a
magnificent showing. Among the party
there were, two mining experts from
the east, who, after they had been con-

slopes and wines of the mine, were

in G. 70 f-
ed in the coal mining regions OF wyo-

experts. in speaking afterwards of
what he saw in the Mercur said that
he had visited nearly all of the big
gold and silver mines of the west, but
that never before had he ever
examined as great and wonder
fui producer as the Mercur,
the vast deposits of ore in which SEEM

The Colder Gate was also the OBJ
ject of a great deal of interest, but the
visitors had not the talisman that
would give them free admission to this
Monte Cristo mine, with its estimated
ten millions of ore blocked out ready
for extraction and milling; but all the
same they examined the hosting
plants on this property and paid more
or less attention to the company's five
ton experimental plant, with which
tests on different characters of ore
have been made this spring with quite
satisfactory success. Alterations in
this plant are now being made. how

Some of the visitors had the curiosity
to extend their visit to the Golden
Gate laboratory. which is one of the
best equipped to be found in the min
ing camps of the west. Here several
series of experiments were being car

BACK FROM IDAHO.
WO. k Progressing in the Develop
ment of the Gold Dust Mine.

Inent of the Gold Dust Mine.
Superintendent Ed Wagner of the
Gold Dust Mining company, who re-
turned yesterday from Leesburg. Lem
hi county, Idaho, where the property
of the company is located, informs The
Herald that work in the development
of the mine is steadily going on with
very satisfactory results.
Since his last visit to this property
the upraise for air from the seventy
foot level has been completed, having
been run all the way in pay ore. Up
on his arrival there he let a contract
for the extension Of the seventy-foot
level another hundred feet, which will
also be run on the ore body.
This mine. at the present time, is ia
a splendid condition, showing immense
bodies of milling gold ore, for the treat
ment of which on up-to-date mill will
be erected during the summer. The
snow at the mine is now four feet
deep on the level. while on the divide
Il is eight feet. Usually the roads are
open in that locality in April, but it
will be impossible This season to get to
the mine with the machinery and tim
hers for the mill until some time in
July.
According to Mr. Magner that por-
ton of Idaho is now in quite a fever
heat over mining matters, especially
as several important strikes have been
made there of late.
Not long ago the Blackbird mine, on
Biackbird creek, was sold at a good,
round sum, and sinc< then it has been
resold. presumably at an advance. The
Blackbird was discovered by Sam
Jones, who, in company with Dennis
Coughlin. has recently made a big
ttrike on Deer creek. The ore is free
milling and averages from So TO SIS to
the. ton.
A new strike is also reported on In
dian creek, the lucky prospector being
Ell Snidam. The deposit is a large one,
the ore is free milling and carries
values of SIS to the ton.
The Gibbonsville mill. Mr. Magner
says. is giving good satisfaction. 1t is
an amalgamation-chiori plant.
and is treating base gold ores at saw
ing Of 80 per cent of the values, and
the company is paying $4,000 monthly
in dividends.
AT the yellow Jacket the Miners
union is on q strike, and from all in
dications ii is likely to last all sum-
mer.
After visiting the Gold Dust mine at
Leesburg and other points of interest
in Idaho, Mr.. Magner went on to Hell
era and Butte, Montana. At Helena,
he says, there is great excitement over
the reported discovery by the High
Ore Gold and Copper company of big
deposit of silver and gold ore at Boul-
der. about midway between Butte and
Helena The company has been run
ming long tunnel, which, at a distance
of 1.10o feet. cut the ledge at a vertical
depth OF 500 feet. The ore body at this
point is twenty feet wide, and carries
values Of 1900 ounces silver, $50 in
gold and 20 per cent lead TO the ton.
This magnificent strike has set the
people of Butte and Helena wild, and a
great deal of work will be done in that
locality This summer.
But the biggest snap in Butte says
Mr.. Magner, is held down by Lige
Ledtord, who has a lease or the water
coming from the Anaconda Copper
company's mine. This water he con-
