TINTIC MINING DISTRICT,
UTAH,

The Tintic Mining District lies eighty
five miles south of Salt Lake City on the
Rio Grande Western Railway, and is, as
shown by the records of 1896 and so far
in the present year, the greatest mineral
producing district in Utah.
The names of the great bonanzas of
Tintic. the Mammoth, Centennial
Eureka. Bullion Beck, Eureka Hill and
Gemini. are recognized everywhere that
the mining industry is known. The
four former have each record exceed
ing 81. .0OO, 600 in dividends and the later
of over S6OO,OOO.
Until within the last two or three
years no adequate means of reduction
of 'rintic ores was in operation in the
<list-ies ,anea ts,o procrurtfou or mfnes
was limited to those ores sufficiently
rich to be shipped to smelters for treat
ment, but this has been changed by the
erection of immense combination and
concentration of milling plants which
eau work at profit those immense de-
posits Of low grade ores which fill all the
producing mines of the district. -Four
of these mills are in active operation,
and three others will undoubtedly be
erected within the next year.
The ores of Tintic are greatly diversi-
fed in character. The principal metals
produced are gold, silver, copper and
lead. In silver production Tintic leads
the state, while in the production Of
gold it stands second on the list. Be-
sides the big bonanzas above mentioned
there are some twenty-five or more prop
critics that now and in the past have
been producing mines, and to these may
be added score of others which have
paid for their development by their pro
ducts, and upon the recent revival of
the mining industry has had the effect
of a recommencement of operations.
Tintic has four thriving towns-Eu
reka, the business center of the district,
with population of $500; Mammoth,
population 1000; Robinson and Silver
City, 500 each, all of which offer great
inducements for Investments in busi-
ness way.
| At the base of the foothills only few
miles away, is valley of 25,OOO acres of
fruit and garden lands. watered by the
Mt, Nebo Land and Irrigation COM
pany.
AS to the future Of Tintic, it is no ex-
ageration to say that it possesses the
brightest prospects of any mining dis
rict in Utah. and offers to the prospec'
We investor opportunities which car
iot ha excelled

REVOLUTION THREATENED.
Attempt Made to Attack the Premier $
House.

After Q o'clock this evening the aspect
of the streets became more threatening.
1t is estimated that crowd of ten
thousand, including a very large number
of students, assembled and threatened
the government with revolution and
Count Badeni, the Premier, with the
the guiotine. An attempt was made to
attack Count Badeni's house.
The police repeatedly charged the
crowd but refrained from using arms.
The students resisted with sticks. One
police inspector was severely injured
by a kick from a horse; another was
thrown from his horse and so badly
hurt that it was necessary to remove
him to the hospital. A few students
and some citizens received slight in
juries. Not until nearly II o'clock was
quiet restored.
To-day's edition of most of the even
ing newspapers have been confiscated
and the police have freely arrested per-
sons offering papers for sale in the
streets.
A serious riot is reported at Gratz,
the capital city of Styria. 1t appears
that the students and large body of
workmen attacked the newspaper offices,
doing some damage. The police, with
the assistance of the troops, have re-
stored order, and twenty arrests have
been made of the ring leaders.
The cool attitude maintained by Herr
Abrahamnsicz, tie sident of the
chamber, greatly enrages his opponents.
Mr.. Samuel l.. Clemens Mark Twain
was among those expelled from the
gallery of the Unterhaus to-day.
ABRAHAMoyICS EXHAUSTED.
To-day's proceedings, however, ex-
hausted Herr Abrahamovics, both physi-
cally and mentally: and he was obliged to
abandon the struggle when it was at its
height. DIR. Kramarz, the vice presi-
dent, young Czech, considerably the
junior of Herr Abrahamovics, followed
him, but he succeeded no better in his
attempts to dominate the disorders.
The opposition leaders held another
meeting this afternoon and decided, it il
said. to impeach the ministry.
Workmen took but little part in the
street demonstrations. They intend tC
organize demonstrations on their own
account which will probably be more
serious in their result.

A BIG COAL COMBINE.
To Contest the Soft Coal Markets OF
Both East and West.

Washington, Nov ga special to
the Post from Charleston, w. Va, says:
i he Vanderbilt interests have scheme
on foot aiming at the control, through
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, OF
the soft coal markets of both east and
west. Every part of the enterprise, from
final delivery of the product, will be
the ownership of the coal lands to the
managed by one head, representing one
interest.
About two months ago the announce
ment was made by Hon. John L. Nc
Graw, of Grafton, w. Va, that he. had
sold to syndicate including in it's mem
bership Cornelius Vanderbilt, III. Mex.
Twombley, and II. Seward Webb. q
tract of coal and timber lands in the
northeastern part of West Virginia. The
same people bought other smaller tracts.
making their holdings nearly half mil
lion acres.
Railroads now controlled by the syndi-
cate will be completed to these coal
lands, connecting them with the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, and through it with the
east and west. 1t is also stated that the
Vanderbilt interests have secured con-
troll of the Hooking Valley road. and It
will be extended to Huntington, w. Va.

CIVIL SERVICE WEIGHTY
PRlTCHARD is AGAINST TOO BROAD AN
EXTENSION.
The Present Programme to Reduce the
Whiskey Tax to Ninety Cents
Gallon He Fayors.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The Senate
committee on Civil Service, which has
taken much testimony regarding the
classification extensions made by Presi-
dent Cleveland and the operation of the
law as applied to the various branches
of the service, will resume it's investiga-
tion about December 10, taking up par
ticularly the internal revenue service.
1t is stated to be likely that the final
report of the committee will be made to
the Senate early in January and it is
believed that some important modifca-
tions Of the system will be recommend
ed. Senator Pritchard, of North Caro-
lima, chairman Of the committee, stated
to-day that there is a demand for some
modification of the civil service classi
fication, by legislation or otherwise, and
that some modification seems to be nee
essary to save the system from being
weighted down. "a too broad extep-
sion," he said, "is calculated to weight
1T down and render it unpopular, there
by endangering its continuance. A good
principle to adopt would be that a schol-
astic examination is proper to determine
the fitness of persons for clerical posi-
tions, but such test is not suitable To
determine the fitness of man to fill q
position where the duties are executive.
The idea that the law is a sort of blank
ct to cover everything is very unpopu-
lar"
AS TO general legislation, Senator
Pritchard says the South needs better
banking facilities and is in favor of ex-
tending bank currency. During the
coming session he will make an effort to
have the internal revenue tax ON wbis-
key reduced to ninety cents per gallon
He claims this would produce more rev.
enue than does the $120 tax now levied
and would be fairer to small distillers

LOWERING FOUND GUILTY
BUT CLEMENCY IS RECOMMENDED FOR
PAST CONDUCT.
The Record to be Sent to the Secretary of Wa
Who With President May Change
Finding.

Chicago, H., Nov. 26.-The Tribune
to-day prints the following:
The finding of the court martial is that
the accused is guilty as charged in the
specifications, and:
"He is reprimanded by the reviewing
authority. The court Is thus lenient in
view of the good character of the ac-
cused as shown in the evidence"
The foregoing is, according to the
statement of man who knows, the exact
verdict of the court martial which has
just completed it's labors in the case OF
Captain Leonard A. Lowering, Of Fort
Sheridan, charged with brutal treat
ment of Private Charles Hammond.
1t took the court martial one hour to
reach its decision.
Lieutenant Colonel Hunter, judge ad-
vocate of the court, will have his record
completed to-day, and this, with the
finding, will be forwarded to Washington
tonight. 1t will probably be placed in
the hands of the President on Monday
and after its inspection by General Al
ger and General Miles, the finding win
be given out officially. The public an
nouncement will probably be made by
Thursday of next week. 1t is, of course
known that the President may change
the sentence recommended by the court
martial.

THE STATE RESTS
A Flank Movement in the
Thorn Trial.
TODO WITHOUT MRS MACK
BUT MAY PUT HER ON IF THORN
TESTIFIES.
THE EVIDENCE PRODUCED YESTERDAY
ThOrn's Several Confessions Brought Before
the Jury--Mr. Howe Asks for Tine
Further Consideration of Case Post
poned Until Monday Morning.

New York, Nov 26.-Lawyers Howe
and Moss, who have diligently defended
Martin Thorn, met to-day with a serious
and unlooked-for obstacle when, after
a brief adjournment, District Attorney
Young informed the court that the peo-
pie rested their case.
1t was generally expected that Mrs,
Mack would be put on the stand to re-
iterate her confession, and the lawyers
who had been assigned to look after
Thorn's interests, thought that she would
repeat her statement of two weeks ago.
This may seem very queer move on
the part of the prosecution" said Mr..
Howe, 'but l am more than positive that
when we introduce our evidence the
jury will acquit my client of the crime
with which he is charged"
Later in the afternoon District Attor-
ney Young said that he was not pre-
pared to say whether Mrs. Mack, who
had made such a famous scene in the
first trial by her confession, would be
produced or not. The case, as far as
the District Attorneys opinion went, was
fully proved without the woman's testi-
Later Ou. nONENGIs Ol6 VI MI
Young's advisers said that in case the
defense put Martin Thorn on the stand,
the prosecution would certainly produce
Mrs. Mack in rebuttal.
The evidence so far adduced to-day by
the prosecution, showed a possible in
clination on the defendants part to get
I'd of his enemy, Guldensuppe. Each
was the admirer of Mrs. Mack and il
was proved that they had a serious row
last March. From current report
Guldensuppe had evidently very much
the better of the argument when it came
to fsticuffs. Thorn confessed later that
he had discharged revolver accidental-
ly, but a few minutes afterward told
another friend of his that he shot al
Guldensuppe, but missed his mark. All
these things were brought before the
jury and when it was about time to
renew the sensational story of Mrs
| Mack, the prosecution, after a whispered
conversation, informed the court that the
people had rested their case.
Thorn was less surprised than his
| lawpers when this statement was made
| by Mr.. Young. Thorn took in the situa
ton at a glance and bent forward il
earnest conversation with his lawyers.
Mr. Howe, for the second time during
the trial of his client, appealed to the
court for time. 81 shall, with your hon
or's permission" said he, ''try to get
through with my defense on Monday, but
| if it should exceed that time, l an
sure | can get in all my evidence in 8
couple of hours on Tuesday"
Justice Maddox, after a conference
with both lawyers, decided to postpone
| further consideration of the case unit
| Monday morning.

Firmly Determined to Garry on War Until

New York, Nov. 26.-The Cuban Con-
stituent Assembly, which met recently at
Camaguey, to remodel the constitution
and elect new president, issued a mani
festo which reached the office of the
Cuban Junta in this city to-day, The
document is dated at Laya, October 80,
1897, and is signed by Domingo Mendez
Capote as President of the Assembly.
The manifesto is addressed by "the rep
resentatives of the Cuban people to all
those who have the independence and
future welfare of Cuba at heart"
The document says that the assembly,
before adjourning, deemed it its duty to
proclaim, among other things, that:
No special laws, no political reform
or autonomy, nothing in short, that the
Spanish government may be willing to
grant, that may mean Spanish sovereign
ty over Cuba, shall be accepted by the
Cubans as a settlement of the war.
Independence or death is and shall be
the unalterable and sacred motto of the
Cubans.
''rhe Cubans have not resorted to arms
III oFueF 10 ODldiH any pOAtlcdl measure
which does not once and for all solve
the Cuban question. That is the reason
we will accept nothing short of abso-
lutte independence.

dependent State, orderly, prosperous and
happy, over the ruins of worn out
colony.
We are firmly determined to carry OF
the war until victory or death crowns

They Will Coincide With the Presi-

Monetary Commission.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 26.-The an
nual report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, according to present plans.
will be sent to Congress either on the
first or second day of the coming ses-
sion. As TO the Secretary's plans for
the reform of the currency enough has
been learned TO give confidence that the
fresident is in full accord with his
views and recommendations, although
IN his official utterance, as expressed in
his forthcoming message to Congress,
he may not give complete and specific
endorsement to all the propositions Gov
cred by the Secretarys report. There
will however be no difference between
the President and the Secretary. 1t is
also understood that the Forthcoming
report of the monetary commission will
cover recommendation not essentially
different from those embodied in Secre-
tary Cages report to Congress. Those
most familiar with both of these impor-
tant papers give assurance that the diff
ference between them will be easily re-
conciled and that to the support of the
propositions so harmonized the monetary
commission will be able to bring the
powerful influence of the great body of
business men which the commission
represents.

TO KILL THE SHERIFF.
Hungry Jailbirds Try to Carry Out
Their Threats, But Fail.

Princeton, Ind, Nov. 26.-Nineteen
prisoners confined in the Gibson county
Jail declared themselves in open revolt
against Sheriff Murphy to-day. For sew
eral days ugly threats have been made
by the prisoners and the sheriff has been
warned. This morning the men declared
they would have more food or kill the
sheriff. a posse of deputies was placed
outside the Jail while Sheriff Murphy
entered alone. As soon as he closed the
door all the prisoners, headed by John
Boyer, notorious criminal, rushed up-
on him and were about to carry out
their threats when the posse rescued the
sheriff. A fierce fight then occurred be-
tween Boyer and Murphy. The former
was beaten almost into insensibility and
thrown into a cell. When the prisoners
saw their leader worsted, they were
suppressed without further trouble.
Boger says he will kill Murphy.
