New sights and scenes are constantly
coming and going. and as the days fit
past we see many which give us salts
faction and pleasure. but that at the
tabernacle yesterday was one of the
most pleasing. and by far the feature
of the Pioneer Jubilee.
People gather and applaud as pro-
cessions file past them; the inspiring
music of martial bands awaken in
the breasts thrill of patriotism; they
listen to the tread of marching feet Of
soldiers with delight, and wave their
hands as serried columns file past. or
dashing troops gallop on in all the
splendor OF military trapping: the
beauty of the floats excite admiration.

JUBILEE NOTES.

Nearly 5000 people had visited the
Hall of Relics I'D to last evening. and
the expectation is that the number will
have risen to 10000 by Sunday night,
when the Jubilee throngs will be over.
Many of the exhibits have only been
loaned for short time. and people who
wish to see the rare and interesting col
lection should lose no time in visiting

the pupils of the higher grades of
schools not being as we'll represented
as the lever grades. AS a rule the
children marched in piatoons Of eight
and they preserved their lines very
well. Sometimes they would get out of
position by watching the crowds on
the streets too closely, but they were
easily reformed by the teachers, who
accompanied them.

The children did not ali come from
Salt Lake City by any means, Weber,

and applauded all the way-in fact,
more enthusiasm was created by the
children's parade than by the one on
the preceding day. as this one appealed
more closely 70 the hearts and sym

TEN THOUSAND CHILDREN OUT.
A conservative estimate of the num-

at about 10000. The same crowds that

The Copper Queen mire is known
TO produce l,0Q0 tons of copper per
month. AT ten cents per pound
this product is worth 100000 or
equal to a total annual product of
$2,400,000. Unlike gold and
SILVER. the copper mines of the U.
S. are confined to three well known
districts. the Lake Superior district
the Montana mines and the Ari--
zona copper fields. The principal
value of the latter as competitors
in the copper market lies in the
fact that the o. ores are relatively
rich and easily reduced to black
copper, being almost exclusively
oxidized ores. = Los Angeles
