NEW BRIGADIER GENERAL
OF WILLARD VOTING.
A MOST POPULAR ONE.
he Made Brilliant Record ms Caps
tain in the Engineer Corps of tho
Regular Army.

The appointment by Governor Wells
of Captain Willard Young as brigadier
general of the National Guard of Utah
is a most popular one.
The new brigadier-generaI was horn
IN this city in 1853. He is a son of
President Brigham Young. He was edu-
Gated at the West Point military acad-
envy, where he graduated No. i'm a
large class. He was assigned to the
United States engineer corps and has
served at Willet's Point, at the Cas-
cades in Oregon as engineer-in-charge
OF the locks; at Memphis on the Mis-
sissfppi river Improvement, and for
four years at West Point as instructor
and assistant professor of engineering.
He resigned from the service as a
captain of engineers several years
stree. He has just completed a two
years term as city engineer and is now
employed as assistant engineer on the
Pioneer power dam at Ogden.
A more thoroughly competent man
for the position would be hard to find,
ard the appointment will be uni
versally commended.
Richard w. Young, the retiring brig
adier-general, found it necessary to de-
cline a appointment, as his business
duties are such that it would be impos-
sible for him to devote any time what
ever to militia matters.

THE WESTERN FOOTHILLS.
A Portion of Camp Floyd That Is
Attracting Attention

3
While a great deal of attention has
been given to the development of the
mineral resources of Camp Floyd min
ing district in the immediate vicinity
of Mercur with most magnificent re-
suits, other portions of the district are
also coming in for their share of rec
ognition, with the result that mining
men are now almost unanimous in
their belief that west and south of
the great Mercur mine the formation
is almost identically the same and
that the same ore bodies, similar in
their characteristics, exist far to the
west and south of the initial discovery
in the Mercur mine, which discovery
has led to the development of the
largest gold-producing properties ever
found in this western country.
South of Mercur the Sunshine mine
has been opened up and extensively
developed. while work on other proper
ties in it's immediate vicinity is show
ing up well as development progresses;
while in the country known as the
western foothills, splendid results
have been obtained. with indications
that within a reasonable time some
great producers will be listed with the
other bonanza mines of the district.
The writer remembers well the time
when it was believed that the lines of
the Mercur mine embraced all the pay
mineral to be found in the district.
Time has dispelled this illusion, how
ever and development has proved the
existence of a mammoth vein of ore,
the extent of which has not as yet
been fully demonstrated; but it is
known that so far as traced it en-
braces an area of thirty square miles.
On this zone, in the near vicinity of
the Mercur mire, are to be found the
Golden Gate, with its thirteen millions
of ore already blocked out; the Ma
rion, with its regular shipments of
cyanides; the Geyser, which IS making
a regular and continuous output of the
yellow metal: the Sacramento. with
its new mill already to start up, and
three miles south. the Sunshine. with
its great ore bodies exposed and one of
the best equipped mills in the west
steadily grinding away on pay ore.
to say nothing of the other properties
scattered all over the district on which
development work is going on, many
of which only need depth to be trans
formed from prospects into producing
and paying mines.
For three years now Mercur has en-
joyed a steady and continuous growth. |
and, as was forseen, every foot of |
ground has been located, and has |
passed from first hands, very largely, |
into the possession of large companies |
or heavy capitalists who are steadily. |
without any loud demonstrations, |
working to place them on the same |
plane with the Mercur and other
mines in that locality, with splendid |
assurances of ultimate success.
This being the condition of affairs

WHEN IS A WAN DRUNK.

During session of the license court,
saloon circles are always more or less
agitated. Sometimes it is one judicial
ruling that sets the liquor colony buzz
zing like bees in hive, and sometimes
it is another. The present session seems
to have developed the general question:
When can a man be called drunk?
One of the judges promptly called
down a lawyer who quoted the time
worn couplet:
He is not drunk who from the floor
Can rise and drink and ask for more;
But he is drunk who PROSTATE lies,
Without the power to drink or rise"
When the judge had expressed
"chestnuts" in legal phraseology, the
lawyer asked earnestly for rule by
which his client might be guided in the
refusal of drinks TO drunken people.
''If a saloon keeper cannot tell when a
man is drunk" was the curt reply,
hes got no business to sell liquor at
retail.'' The question still is: when
is man NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Rec
