SALART-NOTnING A YEAR.

Preacher Who DuE Cellars and
AEoyTcsi Grass r, mt TIC b i@s.st live.
"Preaching for nothing a year and
finding himself was the comment of
II layman after he heard Rev. John
Angelow tell of his tribulatiors in the
Methodist Protestant conference the
other day, reports the Philadelphia Rec
ord. While the genera sentiment and
sympathy were on the side OF the
preacher, there are those who think he
should have withdrawn from the field
rather than toll so laboriously to keep
the wolf from the door when the people
to whom he had been sent failed to rally
to his support The question has nat
uraliy arisen among the members of the
conference as to how far minister
should 60 in his efforts to support him
self while he has regular charge.
Mr.. Ahgciow's pathetic story of how
he was compelled to dig cellars, NOW
grass, and do other laborious work in
order to provide himself and those de-
pendent upon him with the actual neces-
saries of life, and of his triumph in keep
ing out of debt during the past year,
formed chapter in the proceedings of
the conference which will not soon be
forgotten. 1t was easy to see behind
the bare announcement of facts the
long siege of self-sacrifice and woefully
close economy which he must have
gone through to make both ends meet.
Mr.. Angelow is 60 years old, and for
IL years has been in full membership
in the conference. While he is not a
man of brilliant attainments nor high
education, he is earnest, intelligent and
faithful to the cause in which he is en-
listed. -

Artificial Much More Lasting Than
the Natural. -.
The comparative durability of diff
ferent flooring materials is set forth in
an article in the Scientific American
based upon careful and accurate in
vestigations. In these tests an ordinary
iron rubbing wheel was used, like that
employed by stone workers for rubbing
a smooth face on marble or sandstone,
and the samples to be tested to blocks of
sandstone, laid face downward en- the
rubber wheel, which revolves at the,
rate of rs revolutions minute, being
supplied with sharp sand and water.
The blocks to which the flooring were
cemcntcd were of equal weight, so that
ths rubbing was effected under rcaTIy
the same pressure in all cases. CU.ious-
ly enough, the material, which resisted
best this severe trial was India rubber
thing, which, after an hours rubbing.
lost only one-siXty-fourth Of ~ iryh Of
its thickness; and, next to this, English
encaustic tile gave the best results, les
ing only one-eigth of an inch in an
hours treatment. The artificial stone
known as "granolithic," was thirI. los
ing three-eigths of an inch; while Ncrth
river bluestone lost mines xtecr;Is of
an inch. All the marbles wore away
very rapidly; piece of marble mosaic
disappeared entirely in 25 n;urtcs,
while solid white Vermont marble lest
three-fourths of an inch ar hour.
Most of the wood floorinGs resisted
abrasion better than the marble: thus,
white pine lost only seven-siXteerths Of
an inch under treatment that removed
nearly twice as much from solid
marble; yellow pine about like white,
and oak lost more than either of the
pines.

THE ELECTRIC CONSOLIDATION.
Companies Making Little Progress
Toward Forming a Trust.

The biennial rumOr anent cOnsolida-
ton of the several electric companies of
the state into trust" was again sprung
by morning paper yesterday. I'm

statements and assertions made

yesterday. but none of them were aware
of any movements tending to consolida-
ton Mr.. L. 5. Hills. of the Deseret Ma
ional bank. said in response to in
quiries, il anything had been done it was
without the knowledge of the directors.

would be glad to consolidate, but none of
the directory had heard of anything
definite as yet.
Another member declared he too knew
nothing of the matter, although he pre-
Sumed Manager Hayward had done some
thing in that direction, although any
plans formulated were yet in embryo
This gentleman said the antitrust
statute in this state was so strong that
it would be extremely doubtful if com
binatiOn could be effected. The members
of the board had discussed the case
joined in saying nothing could be done
with the securities until this clause IN
the law was abrOgated or repealed
Manager Hayward was not in the city
YESTERDAY and as a result a statement of
his efforts in the direction of consolida-
ton could not be learned. But II Is safe
TO assert that trust will not be
formed for year or so yet and that all
statements Of the kind are based on no
authority whatever.

LOGAN'S MONUMENT.
Nearly All the Governors of the
States Will Attend the dwelling.


Chicago. June 1S.-Twenty governors
Of as many different states in the
Union have signifed their intention to
be in Chicago at the unwilling of the
Logan monument, July %. 1t is eX-
pected that at least twO-thirds of the
other governors to whom invitations
have been sent will accept and make
Logan day the occasion of one of the
most notable assemblies of state execu-
tives in the history of Chicago. Those
who have signified their intention of
being here on that day are:
Alabama. J. F. Johnson; California,
J. H. Budd: Connecticut. Lorin A
Cooke; Florida. w. D. Bluxham:
Georgia. w. H. Atkinson; Iowa, F. NJ
Drake: Idaho, T. Steunenberger; Mary

Rhode Island, Elisha Dwyer; South
Dakota, Andrew e. Lee; Virginia. JO-
siah Grant; Washington, J. r. Rogers.
1t will not only be the most repre-
sentative, but by far the most pictur-
esque, for the state executives will come
attired in all the pomp and circum-
stance of war, accompanied by their
stats in full uniform.
With the 1000 troops of the Illinois
National Guard the regiments of regu-
lars from Fort Sheridan and other
army posts in the west, the grand army
posts from all over the northwest, the
militia organizations from the other
states and the miscellaneous organiZa-
tons, the parade on Logan day will be
a memorable event. The question of
President Mckinley coming was settled
yesterday by a letter from Washing
ton which unofIicially declared the
president would be in Chicago on Lo-
gan day. Mrs. Logan is assisting w.
II. Harper of the executive committee
in hunting through files and records for
the names of General Logan's COM
rades, that the survivors may be in
vited to take prominent part in the
ceremonies.

Washington. June 1s-The advocates
in the senate OF an increase in the duty
on wool held a meeting today and de-
cided upon tariff as the rates which
they will ask the committee to fix on
wool:
First class-In grease, unskirted. 10
cents per pound; in grease. skirted, Il
cents per pound; if washed. double
these rates. if secured, treble.
Second class-In grease, unskirted,
IL cents per pound; in grease, sl<irted,
u cents; washed, double; if secured,
treble.
Third class-worth not exceeding
cents per pound, 3 cents duty; worth
over cents and not exceeding 10 cents.
cents per pound: worth over 10 cents
per pound, s cents; if secured. treble.
These rates are much higher than those
originally fixed by the senate commit
tee and the wool men regard them as
more advantageous than those in the
house bill, or than the Mckinley law.
There were present at the meeting a
dozen or 10 senators, representing all
the states in which wool is an industry
of especial importance.
There was at one time today a pros
pect of a Republican caucus on the
subject, but it was decided. instead, to
present the claims of the wool men TO
the finance committee, with the hope
that they would concede the increases
asked. If the concession is not made
a caucus is probable.
The schedule agreed on today was
presented at the meeting of the Re-
publicans of the senate finance COM
mittee tonight. For over three hours
the questions presented were discussed
in a conversational way, but no def
mite conclusions were reached.
Among the senators present were
Messrs. Mantle. Foraker, Mcbride,
Hanna and Warren.

RICH FIND OF GOLD.
David James Discovers a Prospective
Bonanza in Idaho.

Bonanza in Idaho.
David James, one of the indomitable
business and mining men of this city,
who for years has wooed the goddess
of fortune in the hills and canyons in
this western country, and who has met
with all kinds of success. has evidently
struck it rich on Champaign creek, in
Idaho about 40 miles east of Idaho.
Mr.. James, with his associate. Mr..
Taylor. has been prospecting in this
country for some time past, and few
days ago a son of his in Salt Lake,
David James jr., received a package
of pulp from him with the statement
that lit was TOO rich for him. and to
have the ore tested in this city,
The pulp came from ore from a new
find made by Mr.. James and his part
ner, but he sent no particulars regard
ing the discovery; but that it is rich
one is demonstrated by the fact that
the samples forwarded by Mr.. James
assayed 1,224.930 ounces, or S24, 1880 in
gold TO the ton.
Mr.. James il. at once notified his
father of the results of the test. and it
is expected that within a week word
will be received giving all the partic-
to be hoped that the ledge is a large
one and that Mr.. James has indeed
found a bonanza, as he is deserving of
success.
Mr.. James has been mining in Idaho
for number of years and at one time
was largely interested in the Red Rose
mine, near Silver City, Tintic. which
has been idle for some time past on
account of litigation.

At the directory meeting of the Utah

boilers and one 5O-horse power engine.
besides which two Burley drills will be
installed which will be operated with
compressed air. The sinking capacity of
the hoist will be from 200 to 1900 feet.
The latest reports from the Utah and
Galena mines are of a most encouraging
nature The Utah hoist will be also used
in the operation of the Galena mine.

j. F. Thompson has just returned
from the Eldorado mining district and
reports that they have about ten tons
OF good ore on the dump and are work
ing force of five men.
a big cave-in is reported at the Uu-
dine mine last week on the old tunnel
level. about $50 feet in.
Felix Guion, a well-known mining
man from Paris. France, was in the
district the latter part of last week
looking at some of Tintic's bonanzas.
Hyrum Beck. who is interested in the
lease on the Northern Spy. went into
Salt Lake Monday on mining business
BIr. Beck advises US that a shipment of
500 tons of ssecond-elass ore is being
made from the Spy to- the Sioux mill
for a test run, and that if the result is
favorable a large quantity of the ore
NAV be worked.
The Gelnini Mining company has
made an ore contract with one Of the
Sandy smelters. and it is expected to
commence shipments at once.
The new tunnel on the Uncle Sam is
in about 80 feet and is going ahead at
the rate of about four feet a day.

THE LONE TREE MINE.
One of the Most Promising Properties
on Gold Mountain.

Richfield, June 16.-Among the mines
that are fast coming 10 the front in the
Gold Mountain district there is none
that is looked upon as having greater
possibilities than the Lone Tree. Be
sides having so good an outlook for
the future, it is owned by old residents
OF Sewer county, being in this regard
an exception in this locality.
Eyer since the existence of ore in
Gold Mountain district has been known
]. Ostlund of Elsinore has had an eye
ON it and its future. Some time ago
he noticed that there was a consider
able area between the Sewer, the
Holland and the Miller group. He
noticed. toe, that the formation on
part of Gold mountain was 'diarite and
part of it granite. Joining with two
practical miners, Lorenzo Nelson and
j. e. Collar, he sought the place of
contact. 1t was found to lie covered
with soil, but trenching revealed its 10
cation and also disclosed a nine-inch
vein of ore. A shaft was sunk down
so feet. keeping against the granite
wall. AT that depth a cut across the
vein was made. Six formations were
gone through in the distance, being in
all 20 feet.
The last formation, which has just
been passed, was of trachyte appear
ance, with Iree gold all through II.
Mr.. Ostlund and his partners consider
the Lone Tree the best property on
Gold mountain.
Yesterday Tom Ferguson was in
Monroe, having come to make ar
for work at the Crystal
mine. Tomorrow (Friday) a 16-horse
power engine Will arrive at ElsinCre,
and with it hosting machinery is to
be put UP at the mine. Arrangements
will be made TO use the Webster mill
in Bullion canyon, above Marysvale,
until the machinery needed and the
process best adapted for the reduction
of tine Crystals output has been made
the subject of further experiment.
when a new mill will be built closer
TO the mine. Although the Crystal
produces 26 per cent lead ii is expected
that no attention will be paid 10 that
metal if the silver can be recovered

A SALT LAKER HAS LUCK.
His Grub Stake May Make Him 4
Bonanza King in Che Future.

A short time ago John Schneider, o.
Snow & Schneider, the South Temple
street butchers, grubstaked a pros
.9ector and sent him up in Cassia
county. Ida, on a search for bonanza
propositions, and as a result of this en-
terprise on his part a claim was To-
Gated in Black Pine gulch adjoining the
Black Pine mine, owned by John Beck
and others. of this citv.
Work was at once begun in the devel-
opment of the property, and word was
received a few days ago that at a
depth of only 10 feet in the shaft a g.
foot body OF ore had been uncovered
that gave average assays of 1872 ounces
silver $3.50 In gold and 6 per cent cop
per to the ton.
W. L. Harlow. the we'll known sign
painter of this citv, is an owner of a
fourth interest in this prospective bo-
nanZa, and it IS his intention to make
a visit within the next week or so, and
If the strike is all that is claimed for II
he is satisfied that he can throw aside
his paint brush and pose hereafter as
mining king.
J. f. Commerford. the veteran pros
pector, also has a one-fourth interest
in the property, and it is more than
likely that IT. win be developed under
his supervision.
For long time it has been known
that Black Pine gulch was rich in its
mineral deposits, and from time to time
some very rich gold float has been
found in that section. and years ago
the people Of Albion were greatly ex-
cited over very rich gold ore brought
in from there by an Indian, but care
ful prospecting failed to disclose the
ledge.
This OLD story has been revived of
late. however, by the appearance of .
sheepherder on the streets of Salt Lake
who mas in his clothes samples of
8 t<artz that ASSAYS $2.l20 in gold to the
=. which he claims came from that
section of the country. and he further
states that the ledge is all of eight feet
wide.
John Beck. of Bullion-Beck fame is
heavily interested in Cassia county
and in this portion of Idaho he has one
mine that is already steady producer
and shipper. and another mine, the
Black Pine. that VIII make a record as
a producer this season.
