Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see the effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the sym.
ptoms, but while the cause exists cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of 80
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to a few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees a Skin Dis
ease, he knows just where the cause lies, and
just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears a suspicious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, 1t becomes plain whether it ia a
poison in the blood or local trouble.
So 1t is with Lost Manhood, Gonorrboes,
Syphilis, Early Vices, and other Diseases of
this class.

INDIVIDUAL SERVICE.

Important Meeting of the First Baptist
Church Last Night.
A largely attended conference
meeting Of the First Baptist church
was held last night, at which it
was decided to adopt the individ-
ual communion service, as will be
seen by the following resolutions,
which were adopted:
"Whereas, medical science has
recently demonstrated that the
common chalice in the celebration
of the Lords supper Is an effectual
means of the easy transmission of
the germs Of large number of IA
tai and contagious diseases, and
constant menace to the public
health and,
"Whereas, the common challce
Is Inconsistent with that cleanli.
ness, which is said to be next to
Goodness, and Is In nowise es-
sential to the orderly, solemn,
reverent and scriptual celebration
Of the holy sacrament; therefore,
be it
"Resolved, THAT this church
in regular conference assembled
does adopt and ordain the use Of
the individual cups in the cele-
bration OF the holy communion
and,
"2-That our deacons are in
structed to Immediately procure
for the use Of the church a suitable
individual communion service to
be paid for out of the general fund
Of the church.

WHY, OH WHY.
To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
If the question of absorption
enters but indifferently into the
quality of brick to be used in the
sewers, as is now contented by
Mr.. Gray and his Kindergarten,
why was that standard eXacted in
the original plans upon which
bidders based their estimates?
The material to produce a brick of
l6' per cent absorption is more
difficult to procure in this section
than that whose product will alb
sorb, say from 20 to 30 per cent (;
consequently, the cost of it's pro-
duction is materially increased.
The bids were submitted upon a
basis of using brick absorbing not
more than 16 per cent of moisture.
If it shall be decided that far less
costly brick will answer all pur-
poses and the contractors are per-
mitted to substitute the cheaper
for the more expensive article, why
should not the city, instead Of the
contractors receive, the benefit and
profit Of the change? In other
words, IL the contractors stipulated
to use brick costing SIS a thousand,
but are subsequently permitted to
substitute an inferior article cost
ing only So or 81 a thousand, why
should not the difference between
81 or So and the SIS, go to the
city instead of to the contractors?
The citizens committee should in
vestigate this vein of the sewer
lead. 1t may perhaps lead to
some pockets"

ANOTHER FIREMAN DIES.
Lieutenant Edwin A. Grover Passes Away
Suddenly.


Suddenly.
The second loss wit hin a week to
the San Antonio fire department
took place yesterday afternoon at
about 6 o'clock, when Edwin A.
Grover, lieutenant OF the Hook
and Ladder company, died very
suddenly in the sleeping rooms Of
the company, upstairs, at the Ave-
nue. G engine house.
Death is said to be from the sud-
den bursting OF a blood vessel near
the heart. On January "a he was
with his company making an ex-
animation of the Maverick Print
ing house building, to ascertain
the fire escapes and general safety
of the building, which was to be
used for the Midwinter fair, when
he slipped while on a high ladder
and fell backward, catching by one
leg. The leg was broken, and the
strain of such fall was terrible
for man of Growers great size,
and he has been laid up since. Tues
day the surgeon took of the leg
bandages and told him to come out
little while yesterday. He did
so and felt we'll all day, chatting
with the boys, and even playing
game of cards in the rear room.
Toward the hour of his death, he
complained of feeling tired and
was assisted up stairs by Fireman
James Stevens and sat down in q
chair while Stevens laid back the
cover Of the bed. AS Stevens did
this Grover suddenly fell forward,
and expired before the other men,
bers Of the company could ascend
the stairway.
Deceased was from Michigan and
had been in this city about five
years. He was unmarried, aged
20 years, and has some relatives in
Michigan, but just where is not

THE NEAL DISTRICT.
Important Discoveries of High-Grade
Ore Made of Late.

Within the past year the mining
camp of Neal, not far from Boise, Ida.
has been making a remarkable growth,
and the Salt Lake people who are in
terested in this new gold camp will
read the following from the States
man with pleasure:
Neal district is destined to become
one of the famous gold producing sec
tons of the country. The work that
many important developments, and
owners of claims derive every encour-
agement for pushing on with the ex-
ploration of their properties.
A most important feature of the
camp is that the ore is generally high
grade, more so, perhaps, than in the
case Of any other district in the north
west. Two strikes have just been
made that fully maintain the reputa-
ton Of the locality in this respect.
One of these discoveries is in the
Sunbeam claim, owned by ODE Corder
and Albert Beck. They have been
running a new tunnel. Recently they
found that they were driving parallel
with their vein and therefore turned
to catch the lead. AS a result they
have made one of the most im9ortant
strikes ever recorded in the camp.
The work first encountered some
four feet of tale. Passing through this
it came to a high grade ore. When
the Statesman's informant saw the dis
covery there was three feet of ore
showing and the wall had not been
developed. The ore. it is claimed, will
average S125 per ton in gold. The
tunnel is about 100 feet in length, and
cuts the vein at nearly 100 feet from
the surface.
The discovery alluded to is in the
Daisy claim. owned by Higgins and
Breadehoff of Denver. They have been
driving a tunnel which, at ass feet,
has opened 21s feet of sulphuret ore
carrying from 500 to $3.50 per ton in
gold.
These two strikes are among the
most important of the year in southern
Idaho, and they will be the means of
attracting increased attention to the
district.
Sam Gundaker and Ed Clayton of
Pocatello are developing two claims
adjoining the Sunbeam. They are
driving a tunnel that will open the
vein some 500 feet deep. and this work
is expected to prove up the hill more
effectually than any that has yet been
done.

but they were evidently disbelieyed.
The Cincinnati Price Current reported
the crop situation as excellent. Re

CALL OF UNLISTED STOCKS.
THE SWANSEA A HUMMER.
Excellent Showing in This Bonanz'
Tintic Property.

Will Hatfield, the superintendent of
the swansea mine. at Silver City, Tin
tic. was in the city yesterday on bust
ness. and while he was here he was
the recipient of many congratulations
from his friends over the fine showing
IN the Swansea mine. and it might be
added that had il not been for the able
manner in which he has pushed the
development of this property it would
not have the high standing in mining
circles today that it now boasts Of
The Swansea shaft, as stated before
I'm these columns, has reached the $50

at this depth, Mr.. Hatfield says the

ing maintained: but further than this
he would not give out any statement as

that when this depth is obtained and

For the past few days it has been
rumored on the streets that rich dis
covery had been made in the Mann
moth mine. in Tintic district, and it
is believed that it was largely on ac-
count of these reports that the stock
of the company has been making such
rapid advances of late.
Upon investigation it is learned that
there is some truth in these statements.
that a few days ago a discovery of
Importance was made at the mine, if
it holds out in size and value.
According to The Heralds informant,
a find of high grade gold ore was made
in an upraise from the 1,500-foot level
in this property about 200 feet north of
the shaft. In making this upraise two
sets had been put in when, on Friday,
of last week. when the change was
made in the shift. samples of the ore
taken from the Wine was assayed and
found TO carry gold values of from Il
to 20 ounces in gold to the ton. On
Saturday night another test was made,
when if was found that the ore as
sayed IS ounces in gold to the ton, and
on the next day the samples taken
from the new strike showed values Of
81 ounces in gold.
The extent of this body of high grade
ore is not known as yet, but it is hoped
that it will prove to be a large one
and that it will hold its values, in
which event it will not be long before
the company is on its feet in good
shape. and a big strike of rich ore
could not come more opportunity, as
the company is just now putting in a
large hoist and is needing the full out.
put of the mine to carry on its con-
temolated improvements.
The finding of pockets of very rich
ore is not a rare occurrence IN the
Mammoth, and it is now just about a
year ago that body of ore was found
from which the company made 100
ton shipment that Melted just about
$4,000; and as the new find is just be-
low the place where the other pocket
was found, there is good reason to be-
lieve that It will also prove to be
most valuable one.
The machinery for the new hoist is
now ON the ground and it is hoped that
it will be in place within the next 80
days, when the development of the
property will be pushed to the deep.
The new hoist Will have a sinking
capacity of $500 feet, at which depth
it is believed that some mammoth ore
bodies will be disclosed and there can
be no doubt but that with the mine
opened in this manner and new and
virgin ground added to its workings,
this magnificent old property will Sc
cure a new lease of life and that it will
repeat its former history and more in
the waY of marvelously rich ore ship
ments and in the declaring of divi-
dends.
At the present time the company is
putting in eight or ten new pans and
four or five settlers at the mill which
will add 40 per cent to the panning ca
pacity of the plant and make higher
saving of values. and the mill, with
these additions, will have capacity of
treating 175 tons of ore daily.
1t is stated that if the new find
proves to be a large one that it is more
than likely that the company will de-
clare Il dividend within short time.
AS it is, the management feels much
encouraged over the outlook and is
confident that everything viii pan out
all o. K with the property.

On the ground in question there is a
five-foot ledge from which assays of
from $3.50 to $40 in free milling gold
have been obtained. and it is believed
by Mr.. Bero that with depth the
values will increase as the indications
are all that could be desired.
Mr.. Bero speaks highly of the out

Interest Yesterday, and Went
Away Praising the City-Believed
He Will Recommend Holding the
Convention of the National Edu-

Hon. Charles r. Skinner, New York
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton. who arrived in Salt Lake We'd
nesday evening, put in very busy
day, and, as he expressed it last even
ing, an exceedingly pleasant one, yes
terday.
In the morning he called on City
Superintendent Milspaugh at his of
flee in the city and County building and
was shown through the building. To-
gether they then visited the Oquirrh
school, where the eminent educator
found much to interest him. He in
spected the building, talked with the
teacher and some of the pupils, in
quired into the methods practiced,
asked how much salary the teachers
were paid, in fact, nothing escaped his
attention. and he was probably the
most inQuisitive visitor, generally, that
has visited the school in a long time.
Throughout his head kept up a con-
slant nod of approval, and when he
left he was enthusiastic over what he
had seen and heard.
He was then taken to the university,
where he renewed the acquaintance of
DIR. Talmage and met the other pro-
fessors. He went through the same
course of inquiry concerning that af-
fairs connected with the institution,
and expressed himself as highly graft
fed to find the states institution of
higher education so admirably con-
Quoted.
In the afternoon carriages were pro-
vided by General Passenger Agent
f. A. Wadleigh of the Rio Grande
Western. and Professor Skinner, his
wife and a number of friends were
taken in charge by Mr.. Wadleigh and
Professor Millspaugh and shown the
city. They visited the tabernacle,
presidents office and other points of in
terest, and then went for a drive over
the CITY.
In the evening, when Professor and
Mrs. Skinner took their departure, he

Professor Millspaugh was particular
to impress upon Professor Skinner
