While Utah is justly noted for its
wonderful mineral resources it can

AS has been stated before in these
columns. this deposit of pumice stone
is located in Willard county, not far
from Fillmore, and it is stated that
there is a mountain Of it.
When first discovered it was brought
to the attention of Messrs. Druehl and
Francken, druggists. Of this clty, VINO,
realizing it's value, Immediately pro
cured title to the same, and these gen
tlemen in turn interested Chicago par
ties, who formed a company for the
DEVELOPMENT of the stone and also eS-
tahlished works in Chicago for its
treatment.
For year past regular shipments of
the crude material have been made 10
Chicago, where it is manufactured into
a commercial commodity by secret
process, the discovery of which entalled
a large expenditure of time and money
on the part of the company; but now
they are putting out an article that is
superior to anything else on the market
in this line, as it is offered for sale in
the shape of pumice bricks, powdered
pumice and in dainty cakes for toilet
uses.
f. A. Druehl, who is interested in
the enterprise and VINO has just re-
turned from Chicago. informs The Hex
aid that Messrs. Quigley and Ross, who
are at the head of the company, will
come out some time this month for the
purpose of establishing crushing works
at or near the mine, as it is the inten-
ton TO ship the stone in a powdered
form hereafter on the score of economy,
as by the new process originated by
the company the pumice Will not be
utilized in the crude in the future. as

The Mining Exchange scored another
whitewash yesterday, and outside of
slight fluctuations in a few of the
stocks called, the transactions of the
day We're almost featureless.
Bulhon-Beck was offered lower than
ever and was weak in the bidding
Geyser- Marion was somewhat f1rmer,
but the offerings were low and in the
bidding the stock was about stationary.
MercuT and Mammoth were slow and
exhibited but little if any change in
quotations. Northern Light lost
ground and was slumpy in the bidding
as well as in the asking. Silver King
was very firm at the quotation given
below, with no sellers in the pit
The unlisted stocks we're hardly no
tieed and cut no figure in the doings of
the day. although some of these Sc

shape.
The stock market during the week
has been devoid of any strong features.
GeySeT- Marion suffered declines, which
was rather unexpected, owing to the
belief that the change in the directory
of the company would give added
strength, which would have been the
case had 1t not been reported that some
Of the officers we're said to be selling
heavily. Northern Light also suffered,
although it was the most active stock
on the board. Bullion-Beck also met
its Waterloo owing to the decision of
the company to suspend ore extraction
and shipments for the time being. Mer-
cur was very quiet.

DEER LODGE DISTRICT.
q Salt Laker Highly Impressed With

In an interview with a. representative
OF The Herald regarding the mer-
its Of Deer Lodge, Mr.. Short said:
THE new gold camp of Deer Lodge.
over in Nevada, about six miles south
Of State Line, is one of the coming
camps Of the western country. Already
its wonderful o9e bodies are attracting
attention. and those in search Of inVesll-
meuts IN good properties have an eye
on the camp. ola prospectors, who have
followed the festive burro from Tomb
st0ne 10 Rossland and from Pixies
Peak TO the Golden Gate. say that no.
where have they seen larger lodges or
besser surface showings than those of
Deer Lodge.
The camp IS new. the first locations
having been made a little more than
a year ago, following the discoveries
made at State Line. It is on the same
mineral belt as State Line. but for quite
Il distance between them the veins do
not show on the surface, being capped
by a non-m mineral bearing poFpayry.

miles in width. and consists of q series

DEALINGS M KING JAMES.
L. E. Ritter Secures a Controlling In
terest in the Company.

The Old King James mine in Dragon
hollow, near Silver City, Tintie, fur
nished the groundwork yesterday for a
nice deal in the stock of the company,
the purchaser being L. e. Ritter, the
well-known mining man, who today
holds in his name enough of the stock
of the incorporation to give him con-
siderable more than control in the
company.
This deal has been in contemplation
for some time. and While the purchase
price was not stated, it is understood
that it run up into the thousands.
George Naylor was the president of the
company and C. B. Felt secretary, but
it is understood that at a meeting of
the directory of the company last night
the president handed in his resignation
and it is more than likely that within
the next few days there viii be a re-
organization of the board, and that in
the near future active operations will
begin in the thorough development and
operation Of the property, which is To-
Gated in the center of the mineral belt
of the locality named.
The King James has been a noted
producer in the past and can show up
fine record in this respect. During
the past few years it has been worked
in a desultory manner by lesSeeS, and
The Herald is Informed that in its
workings some fine bodies of high grade
silver ore are exposed and that it will
require but little work and expense to
place the property on the regular ship
ping list.
The incorporation was based on pat
ented ground, SO that there is no reason
under the changed conditions caused by
the sale of the control to Mr.. Ritter,
why the mine should not soon rank as
one of the heavy shippers of that por-
ton of the district

The passion for philology and deriva-
tion searching may occasionally make
a man as hopelessly onesided as the BIZ
cycle fever. There was an old Profess
sor up in Connecticut not long ago
whose love for philology was such that
the broader principles off language
were generally disregarded in q minute
search for the photographic particles
binding an ordinary English word to the
Aryan or Assyrian prototype. While
all this was source of exquisite pleas
ure to the good old DR. Dryasdust, it
was a germ of specific discomfort to his
classes. The men under him grew tired
of the minute linguistic meanderings
in which the good doctor indulged. FL
nally one of the bolder of the malcon-
tents resolved to give the doctor a hint.
With mock modesty he arose and quiet

with demure smile. 1T is my firm be-
lief that Middletown is derived from

Why, bless my soul" exclaimed the
doctor, with hasty glance over his
spectacles to assure himself that the

sir, how do you derive Middletown from
Moses?"
