CURIOUS RELIGIONS.
Some Sccts the Members OF Which
Thought They Couldn't Die.


Our congress is prohibited by the con-
SGitution from making laws respecting
religious views and theories This being
the case, fanatics of all kinds have tax
ell the opportunity TO PROFOUND their
views and make an effort to spread their
doctrines Within the present century
not less than half dozen deludod NOR
tails residing within the limits of the
United States have claimed to be Christ
returned TO earth, and the queer thing
i'll connection with the ministry of such
fanatics is the fact that they can per-
suadc persons who are supposed TO have
FAIR amount of brains TO believe that
they are all they claim to be.
Since 1880 five different sects have
been founded i'll the United States the
members of which claimed the ability
of either themselves or their founder TO
live forever. Each of these queer com.
munities has been known by its neigh
bOrs rs 'the immortals," and each has
III the course of time come to grief, AS
all such visionary dreamers must. Tho
last dcludcd being to found sect ON
the theory that he himself at least, was
known TO his followers as 1.-THE eve Of
Jehovah. - The Patterson sect were
known as "thc children of Zion. " Their
headquarters were mainly ut Grand
Rapids. Mich, although there were up
ward Of a dozen branch organizations in
the different states of the Union. Pat
tcrson claimed that he would never die.
and the great tenet of faith with the
children of Zion was belief in the claims
which their leader made. In 1888 this
self styled ''eye of Jehovah" began to
grow dim-in other words, to waste
away with All incurable disease. Finally
he went to France, where he died, just
as all other mortals have done or will
do. This cured the delusion of tho Mich
iganders at Grand Rapids, who soon
awokc to the fact that their leader had
either been a crazy fanatic or u bias
phcmor. Sects founded on claims of i'm
mortality are not at all dangerous, as
it is only question of time when tho
delusion will be effcctually dispelled. :

Richard Cornelius, the bank cashier, who
recently committed suicide. DIR. Carson
said he had known him we'll for some

he was as good u man as he ever knew.
There came n time, however, when he

Copper From Green Water.

One OF the most interesting sights in
the great mining town of Butte is the
process by which copper is caught from
the emerald colored water that flows
from the Anaconda and st. Lawrence
mines. 1t IS estimated that this water,
winch for four or five years went to
waste. is now bringing the Anaconda
company $50, 200 q month at q cost of
about 81, 600 month.
AT the present time several acres of
ground are covered with wooden watts.
These arc filled with all the old SCRAP
IRON they can hold. 1t has proved n splen-
did scheme for disposing of the tons and
tons OF old iron the company has accu-
mulatod for years. Old hosting cages,
water pipe, whoelbarrows, railroad iron
In fact, any old thing that consists of
TIN or iron-is appropriated to this sery-
ice.
1t is said for every pound of iron put
INTO vat apound of copper is produced
Where the water first attacks the iron,
the copper absorbs the iron completely
within three weeks. After the precipi-
tation is effected the water is drawn off
and the Shiny copper is transferred to
another tank, where tho water is further
drained off. These latter watts hold
about 10 tons of the copper, which now
has the appearance of q clayish sub
stance. This is sacked into packages of
about 100 pounds. When in this shape,
it is sent to the shelters in this CITY.
The product carries an average of SO
per cent pure copper. The iron remain

mixed with other smelling ore it is
said to bring tho ore up to value of
about $500 ton.
The water from the mines is the most
profitable product of the Anaconda Cop

very large and deeply attentive audience.
His remarks were intensely practical and
made profound impression 'on all who
heard him. liz said to the Christian the
pulpit or church is no more sacred than
the home or the business. If ones tongue
and pocketbook be not baptized, he said
he would not give much for his or her

ligion and business Will not mix makes

mands that we seek first the kingdom of

Cheap Co al.

Supt. Abbott of the e. q p. r. r.
has perfected arrangements which may
make complete change in the fuel
material used III this neighborhood.
He has for some time past been work
ing with other railroads to secure bet
ter freight rates on coal from the
mines to Eureka, and has finally sue
eeeded in getting the rate down to
S6.75 per ton from Castle Gate,
Pleasant Valley Coal Company, and
the same rate from Rock Sprins, I'm
ion Pacific Coal Company. The cost
OF the coal is but 81 80 per ton, so
that each kind will cost only IS. 20
per ton landed in the +. & 2. yards
at Eureka This is a reduction of
$500 per ton ON the present rate.
The matter of fuel here has always
been one of considerable expense,
cedar and mahogany being most gen
orally used, and by the time it is land
ed, chopped and piled ready fer actual
use, the final cost is often rather steep.
Coal has been but little used and
now that the freight rate has been
brought so low an experiment could be
eheaply made as to its economical ad-
yantages over wood, both for home
heating and kitchen use and for use
at hosting works around the mines.

carload lots of fifteen tons and over,
