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 S1.0O0,CO0 in dividends and the later
of over 100000.
Until within the last two OF three
years no adequate means of reduction
of Tintic ores was in operation in the
district and the production of mines
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
can work ut 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
tal ,rif ha
The ores of Tintic are greatly divers-
fed in character. Tue principal metals
produced are gold, silver, copper and
lead. In silver production Tintic leads
the state, Willie 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 recommencement of operations.
Tintic has four thriving towns-Eu-
reka, the business center of the district,
with population of $500; Mammoth,
population LOO; 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 5000 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
trict in Utah, and offers to the prospec-
tive investor opportunities which can
not be excelled.
The Rio Grande Western Railway has
a double daily train service between
Salt Lake City and the Tintic Mining
District. For further particulars apply

Agent, Salt Lake City.

lar story of the book stack. The attend
ants on duty there takes the book from
it's place and deposits 1t in one of the little
metal baskets hanging on the endless
chain. Down goes the basket to the bot
tom of the book stack. There 1t turns
and travels horizontally beneath the floor
until it reaches the center of the read
ing room, where IL makes an upward turn
and empties its contents on the desk of
the librarian. In two minutes the order
can be sent and the book received.
Perhaps, if Librarian Spofford was to
designate what gives him most satisfac-
ton in the library he would say these
arrangements for the perfect preservation
Of the books and these labor-saving de-
vices for making the contents of the stacks
quickly available. The reason that the sto-
ries in the book stacks are only seven
feet high Is that the attendant may reach
any book in an alcove without mounting
a step-ladder. If a book isn't within reach
il is on the floor above. The plans for the
book stacks and for the delivery Of the
books are original with this library
Into the cell house of the penitenitary
light and air are permitted to come. Into
the book stack light pours through win
dows which are plates of glass without
sash. No fresh air can enter In that way.
Damp, dust, heat, smoke, and exhala-
lions of gas are the natural enemies of
ed all of them. The only fresh air that
can enter must come by way of the ventil-
alton system devised TO keep out impu-
rites. When the food of light which pours
in from these courts through the frequent
windows fails, electricity will be used. one
of these stacks holds 10000 volumes. That
is about the extent OF the present collec-
ton. A single book stack will suffice
generation. The other two stacks can be
locked up and left for future demands. That
Is what is meant when II Is said that the
library has bene built for posterity.
''The book capacity OF the parts OF the
library, finished Off" said Mr.. Spofford, rs
about 100000 volumes. If all the space
on each floor not at present used was TO
be fitted up for the storage of books the
building would hold 100000 books. More
over, posterity may build in book stacks
in the spacious courts to contain 2,WOOO
more without any violence TO the uses or
architectural symmetry Of the present ed

The grewsome "Hand of Glory was
recommended as a potent burglars tool
in past centuries. A CANDLE formed of
various uncanny materials, was fasten-
ed to the hand of a corpse (preferentially
of man who had died a violent DEATH,
and this candle, when lighted, was sup
posed to cast a spell upon the inmate
Of the house into which 1t was brought.

But be as the dead -.
For the dead mans sake.
Necromancers who desired to call up the
spirits of the dead used specially prepared
candles among the rest of their parapher-
MALTA. writer on Magic" remarks that
there are some kinds Of torches, lamps
and candles which. being made of certain
materials, appropriately gathered, will,
when they are lighted, produce marvellous
effects. There Is a candle'to be produced
from mares fat and narrow. which will
represent on the wall horses heads. This
thing is easy and pleasant TO do; the like
may be done OF asses and flies" Would 1t
be easy, however, says a correspondent of
the Evening Standard, to find sufficient
"fat and marrow even in bluebottle fly
to make a satisfactory torch or candle?
The writer goes on: 1.-THE skin Of snake
burnt in a green lamp makes images of
serpents to appear. If centaury be mixed
with honey and the blood of a Iapwing
and put in a lamp they that stand about
will seem Of gigantic stature. The ink
of a cuttlefish put into a green lamp
causes Blackamoors to appear. A candle
made of saturnine things, such as a mans
fat and marrow, the fat of a black cat,
and the brains Of a crow and raven, being
extinguished in the mouth of man lately
dead, will, as often as IL is lighted bring
a great horror and dread upon all the
spectators about It," For a pleasanter
kind of illumination: when grapes are IN
flower, take a vial of Oil and bind IL to the
vine, and let 1t remain until the grapes are
ripe. When this oil Is lighted in a lamp
II will cause abundance Of grapes to ap-
pear"
That even the smoke from specially pre-
pared candles was useful as an exorcism
was belief held by some OF the Moham-
medans Of Scinde some sixty odd years ago.
"Puleetas," or lamp charms" were used
by them for the casting out Of evil spirits
and the cure of disease. Magical words
and figures were traced on a sheet Of pa
per. which was afterward smeared with
specified substances and, being rolled up
and ignited, the patient was fumigated
with the smoke from his candle.

Preferred Her religion to wealth

A slight girl, says the Kansas City
Times, with dark eyes, glowing with
friendly light, a face plain but pleasant,
voice cheerful and kindly, are the
characteristics of Miss Carrie Jewell,
heiress to Frederick Taylor, the New
York banker. who died few days ago,
leaving a fortune of 100000. She is a
novice at the Catholic Convent of the Sa-
cred Heart in this city, and will be nun.
Her uncles will, written seven years
ago, and probated in st. Louis to-day,
says he does not desire to cut her eff
on account of her religion, yet will leave
her no money that may revert to the Ro-
man Catholic church, therefore, should
she sever her connection with the Order
of the Sacred Heart, she will receive $685.
600; otherwise not a penny. This clause
of the will is as follows:
IT have no desire to disinhert her on ac-
count of her adopted faith but l do not
desire to leave any sums which might.
on account of her connection with sacred
orders, eventually revert to the Roman
Catholic church. Therefore, should she
sever her connection with the religious
orders, a sum of $25, 600, which is to be set
aside by my executors, is to be held for
her in trust and the income paid to her"
The Times correspondent called at the
convent this evening, and was the first to
aprise the young lady of her uncle's be-
quest. She was CARRIED in the somber
habiliments of the nun, as novices are ac-
customed to wear-a dress that stands be-
tween her and a fortune.
''Will you leave the sisterhood and the
conVent?" she was asked.
81 have not thought of it," replied Miss
Jewell This is the first information
have received of my uncle's will. 1 was
apprised of his DEATH but not of his
wishes concerning me. I have chosen to
become a nun, and any sum of money
would not tempt me to alter my hopes
and my faith"
Further informa tion than this Miss
Jewell would not vouchsafe. The young
lady is a convert TO the Catholic faith,
and has been in the convent here several
months.
