and the railroad track was peppered
with prospectors at every turn, and
soon the hills were being staked off

been obtained is the Lizzie, and is own

made the discovery when ON ped

Of their said terms their successors shall

The sting of the section in the present
instances is in its tail Chief Pratt was
elected and the term for which he was
elected expired on January last, or
when his successor is appointed and has
qualified Chief Devine was appointed
and his term expired at the same time
as Chief Pratts. The plain reading of
the statute, it is contended, is that both
must go out at the expiration of their
terms and then it rests with the COM
mission to appoint their successors. The
january, went through the form of re-
signing and having themselves reap
pointed, is not considered a bar to the
operation of this section of the statute
for the appointments then made are held
by those advancing this view to be void
because the section says that "at the
end of their said terms their successors
shall be chosen as herein provided. >"
was made a year before their terms ex-
PRED.
Here is a point for a controversy. The
chiefs no doubt will maintain that their
designations were in good faith and that
the offices being left vacant it was in
cumbent on the commission to fill them.
Captain Paul is said by some to be
the choice for chief of police. The Cos
sips have it that he may accept the posi-
ton if it is rendered him although he is
in no sense a candidate for it. The re-
cord he made while holding the office is
pointed to with pride by his friends
and even his enemies admit his admins
tration was a good one. EX-Fire Chief
Stanton is talked of as a possible success
sor to Chief Devine. should the alleged
plan go through, although it is said he
is making too much money in his pres
emf occupation to accept it, if he could
have it and it is by no means certain
that he would be the choice.

It is marvellous how this order is
growing in the Rocky mountain states.
Some of the tents, though small in
mem ership when organized, now pass
the one hundred mark, and are still
growing with the most encouraging
rapidity. The high moral character of
its members, the desirable nature of
the protection it affords it's members.
the careful medical examination for
members required, its great numerical
strength as 1t does, more
than 100000 MEMBERSHIP high frater-
nal standard it inculcates, and the low
cost of carrying life insurance and
membership as members of it, all COM
bine in making it a, favorfte among
the great fraternal beneficiary orders
of the United States.
The tent of Salt Lake City has a
number of most desirable applications
fer membership for action next review.

Salt Lake tent No. 2 is absent from the

put the Salt Lake tent in the front

HIDDEN WEALTH IN UTAH.

Workers on Our Resources.

Judge COIborn EnIighteninG New
Workers on Our Resources.
Judge Colborn, Utah's travelling re-
preventative who made the star speech
at the opening of the New York Min
ing exchange, is still booming the new
state. Under the heading Hidden
Wealth in Utah. the New York World
Of last Monday gives the following:
Utah's delegates to the opening cere-
monies of the New York Mining ex-
change have arrived. They are Judge
Edward F. CoIborn, secretary of the
Salt Lake city chamber of commerce;
E. G. Rognon and H. N Warren, all of
Salt Lake city. They will put before
the exchange a statement of the min
eral wealth of their state.
First of ALL" said Judge Colborn
last night, Utah wants it to be known
that the differences between Mormon
and Gentle have passed away, We
feel that the enormous resources Of the
state have been kept in the back
ground. On the other side of the
Rockies things are done with a hurrah;
in Utah we are quiet. Today few in
the east know of the enormous wealth
in our state. Take the old Ontario
mine, for instance; it has paid 1877 sue
$13, 100, 900. which is 81 ,O70, 900 more than
the famous Granite Mountain or any
other silver mine in the country has
ever paid.
Take the Centennial Eureka mine in
the Tintic district
In fourteen months it has paid $780,
600 in dividends In four and half
years it has paid S1,590,00O, which is
SO more a share than the amount for
which the mine is capitalized. Accord
ing to mining lists made up in De
cember, there are thirty-eight dividend
paying mines in Colorado, seventeen
in Montana and ten in Utah. Mon
tana's mines, including the great
Granite Mountain, have paid only ST.
100000 more than the ten in Utah; and
the thirty-eight in Colorado have paid
only between 100000 and 1000, 900
more than our ten.
Then, too. our mines give a large
percentage of gold, one reason why we
are so little affected by silver legisla-
ton. Here, alone. are the famous gold
ores of Johannesburg duplicated
These exist in the Mercur district
thirty miles from Salt Lake city. and
extend over a large portion of the
state They are worked by the cyan
ide process, yielding $12 to the ton. 1t
costs S3.40 a ton to work them. Under
the 100 acres held by one concern it
is estimated that there are $6O,OO0,0OO
in deposits.
THE deposit is in the form of a
sheet eight miles by twelve miles in
area, which dips to the southeast at
an angle of IA degrees. The sheet is
anywhere from fifteen to seventy
feet thick. and is near the surface 1t
is supposed that the gold was deposited
by Lake Bonneville, an ancient sea
that reached from Arizona to Idaho,
and of which the sink of the Humboldt
and Salt lake are the remnants. The
Rand ores are said to be the deposits
of a similar sea.
by the perfected processes it is pos
sible to treat these low grade ores
with high proft-a thing once impos-
sible There is wealth there for the
individual prospector. and no great
amount of capital is required to make
them pay. Today Utah is the richest
tract of land in the world

Fine Ore Body in the Alice Dis

Luck is an element of every day life
that connot be sneezed at, says the Butte
Miner, and the prospector or miner who
ignores it must be strange character,
indeed. Fortutious circumstances have
played an important part in the discovery
of rich mines and the lessees at the Alice
property in Walkerville are more than
ever impressed with the belief that the
factor chance operates sometimes on the
side of the poor miner as well as in the
interest of the mine owner.
