 There is a striking example of mans boldness in searching for wealth and his skill in securing it at Betallock. near Cape Cornwall, Alas. ka. Betallock is q bold headlaBd composed of huge masses of horn. blende, masked by walls of slate, against which the Atlantic surges arc constantly dashing. The perse- vering efforts of man have at this point been more powerful than those of nature.

Everybody and everything-rocks, platforms and paths-is smeared with the prevailing red hue derived from slight mixture of iron with copper or tin ores, and then tho very muddy stream flowing from the stamp mill to the sea has imparted to the beach, the breakers and the foam the same rubicund tinge. If ore is coming up plentifully and of good quality, ev- erybody is pleased, and far down to the gloomy depths of the mine, which Cornish legends people with spirits, the news that a new bunch " of copper has been struck, or the old hole is growing richer, fills the workers with professional joy.

B.sOr. He Stabbed Her.

Some of the old fellows wrote trsgedies-dull, cold, heavy produc. tions, every line of which had been polished till what little soul it orig. finally possessed had beeen rubbed out of it. Such incidents as the dramas could boast were drowned under floods of talk. If the hero wished to stab his wife, he stood still with uplifted dagger while he poured out a good 500 rhymed alex. andrines. and while he rested after thiS tremendous performance the lady got of her chest, as actors call it a like amount of verse in the shape of an appeal about as passion ate and heart stirring as those heard in the law courts when a barrister is showing cause why ,1sandamus should be isshed. - All the Year Round.

QUAINT ARCTIC LEGEND.
Aa old Russian story About the Lost Tribes of Israel.

Aa old Russian story About the Lost
 Tribes of Israel.
 Years and years ago, so the legend runs, an exiled Jew on the bleak wilds of northern Siberia, in an ef- fort to reach an overhanging branch of tree, placed his foot upon fog Coating in the water. No sooner had his foot touched the log when it seemed inspired with life and moved rapidly of, bearing the exile away toward thu vast icehelds, which were plainly visible and plentiful toward the north. Rapidly the cur yent swept the log northward, bear ing with it the unfortunate Jew, who was so benumbed with fear and cold that he was unable to for nulate a plan of escape from his perilous position.
 For three consecutive days and nights tho prisoner olung to the log, passing through towering fields of Ssebergs and dashing under arches cut by the current through the sky scraping fields of ice. Out into bsSu- tifll sunshine our traveller eventual ly emerged. The grass was green, and the trees were garbed in the splendor of nature, and birds made merry music on every branch. Pec- pie, great in numbers, were oongre- gated on either bank of the stream, all dressed in holiday raiment of ths finest texture, but similar in oharao- ter to the clothing worn by our an- custors 2, ,000 years ago. The current O. tho stream ceased to flow, the log drifted to the bank, and the almos; famished and thoroughly frightened traveller repeated for the thousandth time the Hebrew words, Shama-- Israel, and in uncertain manner dismounted from the log.
 The inhabitants crowded about, and, speaking in Hebrew with which language he was thoroughly conversant), learned of his need of food and rest and supplied those wants, after which they inquired whence he came and whither he was going. Numerous inquiries were made regarding the people who lived beyond their oircumscribed world, who in reciprocity informed him oi themselves and their mode of living, which had in nOwise changed since the advent of the Christian era.
 They worked and worshiped even as did the Jew in ancient times, when Palestine was garden and Jerusalem the center of civilization, The traveller learned that these peo pie were the lost tribes of Israel who had migrated to this godly country, led by che descendant oi Aaron named Joseph, who had passed away without leaving any descendants. With them they had beought many of the vessels and mach of the paraphernalia of Solo mon's temple and patterned theil house of worship after this famous temple of Jerusalem.
 The traveller was told that tho streams current was active six day: in the week and on the seventh be came quiet and did not move, but a, he was member of different tribe from themselves he would not be al lowed to remain within the country So he was placed in boat whicf was pushed out into the current and was borne by @ cirouitous routt back to Siberia Afterward he wa' pardoned, returned to Russia snd told his nture.-Atlanta Jewish Sentiment.

THE HERALD'S FLAG.
Is HEARTILY RE
CEIVED BY ALL.
C. r. Savage Makes an Offer That
Should Be Taken Advantage of
by All.

The Herald's proposition of yesterday
to place a permanent flagstaff on En-
sign Peak. from which Old Glory shall
float during the coming Pioneer Jubi-
lee celebration, was the sensation Of
the hour. On all sides was it dis
cussed. and there can be little doubt
that contributions will soon COM
mence rolling in from Richmond on the
north to St George on the south.
C. r. Savage, who is always active
when the public interests are at stake,
said: The idea is one that will aD-
peal to every lover of Utah, no matter
whether he or she came in OK team or
Pullman car. On the 23d the flag to be
unfurled will be simply a flag; when
it descends on the night concluding the
celebration, it will be a part of the
history Of Utah-its value will be be-
yond price 1t should, however, be
pulled TO the masthead by one of the
pioneers.
IT admire the enterprise of The Her
aid in the matter, and as a method of
showing my appreciation guarantee to
photograph, free of charge, every pio-
neer who comes 70 the art bazaar be-
tween row and the 22d OF July next.
OF every photograph taken l shall pre-
sent TO The Herald a copy for repro
duction in it's columns, accompanied,
if thought best, by brief biographical
sketch
THE Ensign Peak Flag association
is a grand and ennobling sentiment. 1t
will be received with great joy by the
masses OF the people of Utah..

1t was rumored on the streets yester-
day that a big strike had been made
in the Dexter mine, at Tuscarora,
Elko county, New, and The Herald S
informant limited that the new dis
covery was in the line of a bonanza
such as is not often found in these
latter days when it takes Drawn and
muscle and days of hard work to I'M
cover a producer of the commonest
character.
At the office of the company the re-
port was neither affirmed nor denied,
and the announcement was made that
the officers were waiting for adviceS
from the mine relative to prospecting
work that has been in progress on the
holdings of the company for the last
month or two.
On the Dexter ground the vein has
been worked on two ends up to a
fault, the intervening distance, COM
prising virgin ground, embracing a
strip on the ledge for a hundred feet.
more or less. This fractional portion
of the Dexter has never been worked
for the reason as stated above that a
fault was encountered, although on
both sides the ledge has yielded up its
thousands in the yellow metal.
were made to prospect this strip of
ground, and, under the direction of
Contractor Parsons, work has been
pushed in the sinking of a shaft, the
expectation being that the ledge would
be encountered at a depth of about S5
feet, and that the connection would be
made by the 10Th or 18th of the present
month; and, if the ore is as rich and in
place as was the mineral found in the
old workings, it is believed that it
will fairly set the company on it's feet.
The Dexter has been saying Moth
ing and saving wood for nearly a
year now, and during this brief period
it has accomplished wonders. In the
first place it had to settle expensive
litigation; it then added other valuable
properties to its holdings, built mills,
put in cyanide plants and made other
Improvements until, today, the Dexter
is one of the best gold propositions in
the state of Nevada.
Although the company has been ro-
organized for only about a year the
books of the concern show that within
the past II months the net value of it's
ore, bullion and cyanide sales has
amounted to S72, 339.79.
The expenditure of the company dur.
ing this period has been about $4,000,
which is accounted for in the shape of
acquired territory, the installation of
Kinkaid mills, the erection of large
cyanide plant, the development of the
property and other Improvements,
which, taken all in all, is an excellent
showing, and there is every reason to
believe that the company, even if no
change was made in the condition of
the NINE would soon be able TO come
TO the front with its property clear
and with everything in shape for
profitab BILE operations this season.
In the old workings of the mine
there are immense bodies of high
grade milling ore, besides which the
company has large failing pits from
which it will derive fine revenues in the
future, and with these resources to
draw from the incorporation is on a
solid basis, even if it does not find ore
in the new workings, although it is
confidently expected that the search
will he SrlcceSSflll

EHE SALT LAKE HERALD, WEDNESDAY. MARCH TO-

Salt Lake experts wanted to bond the
property for two years for $4,000, and
in the meanwhile they were to have
all of the ore they took out in work
ing and opening up the mine.
Well, we do not want to prejudice
anyone against Billy, but the way he
swore at the experts was enough to
make one feel chilly, even in August;
but the Prospector wants to say that
any man who would make any such
proposition as these men made to Billy
is the personification of gall 100 per
cent pure net. The Salt Lakers were a
good deal put out and thought that
the people of the camp did not seem
to have any desire to invite the invest
ment here of outside capital and they
are going back to the city in the morn
ing.
Billy Smith will begin to ship as
soon as the snow begins to melt, and
it is believed that from his first con-
signment of ten carloads he will clean
up at least $4,000, and then if there
is not some heavy poker games down
at Slade's, the Prospector misses its
guess.
The miners of Pine Gulch have been
hoping against hope for a year or
more that some effective work would
be done upon the Crows Nest and the
Jupiter lodes, both of which are valu-
owned by Colonel Ableduck of Salt
Lake, while the Jupiter is the property
of Captain Breakneck of Denver Both
of these men are fully able to open up
these properties, and yet they are
waiting to see what poor Sammy Bolts
Will find on his claim, which is To-
Gated between the two prospects above
named. Now, Sammy can only work
his claim IT intervals and has only
made ten feet during the past IS
months, and yet these two capitalists
are hoping that Sammy will develop
their claims for them with what little
work he is able to do. Such men are
an injury to camp, and there is not
a district in Utah but that is infested
with just such drawbacks, and there
are hundreds of properties that would
be paying mines today if their owners
would only work them instead of wait
ing to see what their neighbors find on
their claims

A Miners Nerve.

A few days ago at Quartzburg, says
the Democrat of Baker City, Or, an
instance of q wonderful display of
nerve and will power occurred that is
worthy of record.
A miner by the name of Theodore
Eby was working alone in a stope in
the Clifford mine When a huge rock
fell from the hanging wall and struck
his leg, breaking it about half way
between the knee and hip, and pinion
ing the unfortunate man steadfast.
Within arms reach of where he stood
was a pick With this instrument he
pryed the rock from his leg and ex
treated himself. There was no assist
ance nearer than Mr. Gifford's house,
Just below the dump of the tunnel, and
the only person there was Mrs Clifford,
her husband being absent to this city.
There was only one thing for Ely to
do, and that was to get himself out
the best way possible. The journey
ahead of him required almost super
human effort. He had to go down on
q ladder in a 60-foot shaft from he
stope to the tunnel which was 300
feet from the entrance.
He let himself down the shaft by
his hands and on reaching the tunnel
crawIed out, all the time suffering the
most intense pain. On reaching the
dump he called for and Mrs. Clifford
came to his assistance and helped him
to the house and to bed. Later Mr..
Clifford returned home and procured
physician TO attend Mr.. Eby, who, at
last accounts, was getting along as
well as could be expected.
