TTNTIC 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 1895 and SO far
in tho 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 81 ,OOo, 900 in dividends and the later
Of over 100000. -4
Until within the last two or three
years no adequate means Of reduction
Of Iintic 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 at 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
erected within the next year.
TIE ores Of Tintic are greatly diversi-
fled in character. The principal metals
produced are gold, silver, copper and
lead. In silver production Tintic leads
the state, while 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 a recommencement of operations.
Tintic has four thriving TOWNSHIP
reka. the business center of the district,
with a population Of $500; Mammoth.
population 1000; Robinson and Silver
City. 500 each, all Of which offer great
inducements for investments In q 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 aud 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
= double daily train service between
Salt Lake City and tho Tintic Mining
District. For further particulars apply

Agent, Salt Lake City.

Want veterans Reinstated.

The Department of Arkansas, GAR,
adopted resolutions, in which it is stated
that ex-Union soldiers who were holding
office in the Internal Revenue or Postal
Service at the beginning Of Cleyeland's
last Administration were removed to make
places for the partisans of the Administra-
ton, who were afterwards placed under the
Civil Service rules by Cleveland's famous
order of May, 1896. Therefore it was re-
solved:
"That the Colleceo- of Internal Revenue,
u. s. Marshals, and Postmasters of this State
be requested and urged to reinstate at once
to the positions from which they were re-
moved all ex-Union soldiers who were re-
moved during Cleveland's incumbency of the

Asthma and Hay-Fever curs.-Free.

We are glad to inform our readers that sure
specific cure for Asthma and Hay-fever is found
in the Kola Plant, new botanical discovery
from the Congo River, West Africa. Many
sufferers report most marvellous cures from it's
use. Among others, Mr.. Alfred c. Lewis,
Editor of the Farmers Magazine, and Rev. J. /.
Combs, of Martinsburg, West Va, were COM
pletely cured by the Kola Plant after thirty
years suffering. Mr.. Lewis could not lie down
at night in Hay fever season for fear of chok-
ing, and Mr.. Combs was q long sufferer
from Asthma. Hon. L. G. Cluts, of Greeley,
Iowa, writes that for eighteen years he slept
propped up in q chair, being much worse in
Hay-fever season, and the Kola Plant cured
him at once. 1t Is truly 8 most wonderful
remedy. If you are sufferer we advise you to
send your address to the Kola Importing Co.,
1164 Broadway, N. Y, who to prove its power
will send Large Case by mail free to every
reader of The NATIONAL TRIBUNE who needs
it. All they ask in return is that when cured

The National tribune., 1897-07-08

The great majority must dwell in small
houses; limited means determines that ques-
ton. But art can give beauty and unity Of
design to cottages, and nature does not re-
fuse to ornament them with vines and sur
round them with flowers and foliage. So
far as exterior appearances are concerned,
small cottages of good design, with well kept
surroundings, may be very pleasing indeed,
often vieing in attractivenesswitht their larger
and more pretentious neighbors. There are
more valid reasons for being dissatisfied with
the interiors; the number of rooms must be
limited and they must be small, or at most
of moderate size; there can be no plumbing
to speak of, no hardwood floors or finish,
no high ceilings, no large cellars. But skill
full architects have ameliorated some of these
conditions. A well-designed small cottage
now has every inch of space utilized. The
principal rooms are connected by wide OPEN
ings, the space of one thus practically adding
to the space of others. Places for beds and
furniture are carefully devised to cause the
least obstruction. Ventilation is looked
after to make amends for low ceilings. Speci-
fcations describe fillersn and treatment of
soft woods that make them almost the equal
of hard woods both in appearance and dura-
bility; pantries are provided, and an ice-box
or a refrigerator is recommended as more
convenient and economical than . large
cellar A large cellar under low-cost house
is where the owner often buries a dispro-
portiouate sum. Excavating, walls of brick
or stone and eemented bottom are costly,
and it should be borne in mind that cellar
does not provide living rooms. Unless q
cellar be well built it is q positive source Of
danger to health. For low-cost cottages it
may be safely stated az rule that where
the soil has good, natural drainage, small
cellar OF no cellar is preferable. A cheaply
built large cellar will be damp, and therein
lies the danger The description Of this de-
sign is az follows:
General dimensions: Width over all, 81
feet depth, 30 feet. flights of stories: Cellar,
6 feet s inches; first story, feet 6 inches;
second story, 8 feet.
Exterior materials: Foundation, stone;
first story, clapboards; second story, gables
and roof, shingles. Interior finish: Hard
white plaster Trim, stairs and floors, soft
wood painted in colors to suit owner.
Colors: Clapboards and porch columns,
pale green. Trim and outlookers on front
gable, dark green Shingles. on gables, dipped
and brush coated reddish stain. Roof
shingles, dipped and brush coated brown
stain. Sashes, Pompeian red. Outside
doors and blinds, dark green. Porch floor
and ceiling, oiled.
Accommodations The principal rooms
and their sizes, closets, ETC., are shown by
the floor plans. Cellar under hall and par
Tor. Loft, over second story, foored and
ventilated at each end by small windows.
Cost: $1,000. The estimate is based on
New York prices for materials and labor.
In many sections of the country the cost
should be less.
