ADVERTISING.
1t Is One Of the Most Ancient OF All the
Civilized Arts.


1t is generally believed, by the simple
and unlearned, that the art of advertis-
ing is of comparatively modern inven-
ton, bnt.a very slight study OF the sub
iect will be sufficient to convince the in
ouirer that it is, in point of fact, one OF
the most ancient of all the civilized arts.
Indeed, the first advertisement was prob
ably coeval with the first man who had
something to dispose Of or with the
first woman who wanted something she
had not got. IL seems not Impossible
that the serpent tempted Eve to partake
of the apple by means of puff para
graph, A" setting forth the merits OF the
fruit as a complexion beautifier: Be that
as it NAV, the uses of advertisement
were known at very early date to the
Israelites, who were accustomed &c
placard the streets Of their cities with
the utterances of kings and prophets.
The ancient Greeks. too, were much
given to advertisement, chiefly through
the medium Of the town crier, who,
however, was not permitted to offend
the ears of the citizens with his procla-
nations unless he were accompanied by
musician to give him the correct pitch
The fact that property had been stolen
or damaged was made known by means
of curses, inscribed upon sheets OF lead,
which were affixed to the statues of in
fernal deities in the temple, the venge'
ance of the gods being thus invoked
upon the persons who had stolen or ill.,
jured the advertisers goods. A rider
was usually added, to the effect that
should the property be returned, or rec
ompense be paid, the owner would in
tercede with the gods for a remission OF
the punishment.
The Romans also made use of the
town crier to proclaim laws, victories,
or sales, and the walls Of the streets
were covered with notices painted III
black or red, or inscribed upon terra
Gotta slabs, and let into the pillars on
either side of houses and shops. Many
of these wall advertisements were found
in Herculaneum and Pompeii, among
the most interesting being the announce
ments of the gladiatorial games, contain.
ing promises that shelter would be pro-
vided in case of rain and that the sand
would be watered should the weather be
exceptionally warm. -Cornhiu Maya

A few are acquaintance, but the major

His fancee said to friend Of mine
the other day:
"Do you know, I feel quite jealous
and heavy hearted when I go into that
room of Georges. wonder what he
can see in me, after looking at all those
lovely girls for hours at timer"
"Oh," said my friend, "some men
don't care for beauty in their wives. "
And then, as the awful silence arrived
on time, she felt like sinking through
the floor, though her utterance had been
an honest one.

after that, and hasn't returned. Polly

ALL THE LATEST NEWS OF
THE DAY.
8roWn-O David son.

San Francisco, Jan. The case
Of Rny. G O Bro VII against Mrs.
Mary DlVi tsOn, who is charged by
the minister with eXtortion, has now
reached the stage Of anonymous let
ter5. Today Mrs. Dayidson's attorney
received an unsigned letter from Seat
tie, rUrporting to be written by per
son well acquainted with Miss Matte
overman, who is Jointly accused with
Brown in the scandal. A detailed ac-
count Of Miss Overman's doings in
the Sound cities was contained in the
letter.
Mrs Davidson stated today in an
Interview that the strongest testimony
against DR.. Brown had not vet been
made public, but that she would tell it
on the stand, She says that her forth
coming revelations will leave Brown
without friends and force him out Of
the ministry, She says that the real
reason why he forced her to give a re-
ceipt for the $500 has lot vet tacn
guessed at. Mrs. Davidson says that
she is perfectly contectcd with her
life in prison.
She spends her time in reading her
billie and in quoting scripture to anv
one who will listen TO her.
The fact that DR.. Brown continues
to harh0r Miss Ovcrman under his
roof has caused much unfavorable
com ment, particularly since the pub
Iloation Of the dispatches about her
alleged career in several Of the Sound
cities. Neither Brown nor Miss Over
mann will be interviewed.

a soul was left in camp to tell the story
of its former glory or to predict it's
future.
The mining camp of Alta was dis
covered early in the sixties by General
Connor's soldiers. and for some time
there was considerable activity in that
locality; but nothing especially worthy
of mention was accomplished, and for
a while the camp was practically aban-
doned.
Later on, about the year 1867. the
district sprang into prominence again,
and the North Star was discovered and
worked by H. L. Bruner of Philadel-
phia. who built a smelter a. the mine,
which proved a failure, and the mine.
for some reason, probably because of
ineHperience, did not come up to ex-
pectatiors in production, and the old
smelter and mine stand today as mon
uments to the enterprise but poor judg-
ment on the part Of this gentleman.
In 1868 Colonel J. F. Woodman and
r. B. Chisholm, who were then oper-
ating in Pahranagat valley, Lincoln
county. Nevada, began prospecting in
Little Cottonwood canyon. and during
the same year Colonel Woodman dis
covered and located the famous Emma
mine: and this greaS property was
opened up by Colonel Woodman. r. B.
Chisholm, Captain James A. Day and
James Smith, and later on. in carry

remarkable and successful career.
Mr.. Day succumbed to a paralytic
stroke. and the end was not uneXpect-
ed He had enjoyed excellent health
up to last winter. when he was stricken
by paralysis while visiting in Cali
fornia. He came home very much en-
feebled in health. but rallied and re-
gained much OF his former vigor, but
last week the second stroke came. At
2 o'clock Friday morning he passed
away.
Mr.. Day came to Galena in 1884. when
lad of Is He was of Scolch-Irish
lineage and Virginian by birth
His father. Erasmus Day, was one of
the first settlers Of Vinegar Hill and
was a farmer and justice of The peace
there until his death. The son spent
his earlier life here. engaging in var
ious pursuits and he saw the develop
ment of Galena from an embryo min
ing camp 10. as it was in the SOS, the
chief commercial mart of the north
west. He followed mining principally,
but was at one time engaged in bust
ness where the Merchants National
bank now stands. He married Miss
Gray, also a member of one of the pio-
neer families of Galena. who survives
to mourn his departure They had no
children
When the cosrercial glory of Galena
began to wane Mr.. Day decided to try
his fortunes in the new west, toward
which a steady stream of immigra ton
was then pouring. He went to the gold
fields of California and lived in the
west twenty years. Those were times
of adventure of all kinds in the west
and he experienced his share.
He became one of the owners of
what was called the Emma mine,
rich silver lode, in Utah The mine
developed into a veritable bonanza,
and dividends from Mr.. Days six
teenth interest made him a rich man
In a short time he cleared up about
quarter of million dollars.
Having made his fortune ne return
ed to Galena and bought a pretty
home at Millhrig, where he spent his
last years. although he made frequent
visits to California. He also bought a
section of land surrounding his home,
which he owned until his death. He
was a man of large heart and gener-
Gus instincts and his. large fortune
was reduced much, but he retained an
abundance.
Mr.. Day had a strong personality.
in which were blended the courtly and
affable demeanor of the old school
gentleman with the sterner qualities
of the pioneer. He had a distinguish
ed appearance and his striking resem-

reports from that locality which has
since developed one of the greatest
silver camps in the world.
Soon after Colonel Woodman dis
covered the Emma, and it was opened
by himself and Mr.. Chisholm. The
Flagstaff, South Star and Titus, Mon
tezuma, Savage, City of Rocks, Daven-
port. Prince of Wales and Wellington
mines, all noted producers in their
day, were found and developed, and
from 1869 to 1876 the head of Little
Cottonwood canyon was one Of the
largest mining camps in the west, and
in 1871 it was by all odds the most i'm
portant and prolific camp in Utah.
OF the four men who assisted in max
ing Alta what it was, and who are
deserving of the credit of opening up
and developing the richest camp that
Utah has ever known. but one is alive
today. This is Colonel Woodman, a
respected and honored citizen Of this
city. who, although well along in years,
is still actively engaged in mining en-
terprises. After leaving Alta he en-
gagged in mining in Eureka, Tintic, and
was largely identified in the opening
and development of the Centennal-Eu-
reka mine, which is classed as one of
the richest mines in Utah today, and
in With he still holds office and owns
a large block of stock; besides which,
he is prominent in Deep Creek mining
and other enterprises calculated to ban
eft the state.
James Smith died in California along
in the sos, while r. B. Chisholm de-
parted this life on June 30. 1891.
These pioneers were all strong, in
fluential men. whose word was as good
as their bond. and they will be long
remembered for the active part they
took in the development of the min
erai development Of this state. The por-
traits that we give herewith of these
gentlemen We're taken when they were
in the prime of life. and when their
efforts in the opening of the Emma
mine had been crowned with success.
In speaking Of the death of Captain
Day, a Galena. Illinois, paper says:
James Day, one of the pioneers of
Galena, died Friday morning at his
beautiful suburban home at Millbrig.
at the age of II years. and thus ended
