THE IMMIGRATION Law.

The immigration BILL has passed aud
is now before the President. It Il
almost prohibitiVs. II bars all persons

either English or some other language
aud each immigrant will be required
to read and write twenty words
Of the Constitution In English or some
kaown language, or he will be re.
turned At the expense OF the company
bringing him over.
Certain exemptions Will do much to
mitigate the severity Of the law and,
II, as appears, Its object was to pro.
Aibit immigration, will almost have
the effect of multiplying It. The exemp.
lions include the wives aud children
OF immigrants, and also their parents
and grandparents. Thus, on The adj.
mission of one qualified immigrant, an
indefinite number Of others, including
perhaps, many Of a most Undesirable
character may be admitted, Tho law
sounds very contradictory, aud YET il
would be bard to admit a man aud

read to the Senate letter he bad re-
csIycd from the novelist Ouida, in
which she takes an original ground in

is made, and what is put into the same
boiling with the antimony, we are at
present unable to say.
There is roaring excitement. The news
is marvellous, certainly. They claim
that Coyote will have a busy camp
from now on, and in two years will
have 10000 people. Three carloads of

There is no telling how rich Captain
Brice can be in q short time. a ton Of
gold is more than a fortune; but a car
load or two of ii would be several times
the value of all the gold coin in the
United States. Six hundred million dol

the gold in the country. This, Major

AS GREAT AS THE MERCUR.
Predictions Made Concerning the
Chloride Point Mine.

Hal w. Brown and Gill S. Peyton,
who were prominently identified with
the early history of the NIercur mine
returned home Tuesday night from
Lion hill, where they made an exhaus-
tive examination of the Chloride Point
mine. OF which Mr.. Brown is a heavy
stakeholder and secretary.
In speaking Of the splendid showing
in the Chloride Point, Mr.. Brown said
to representative of The Herald:
DO you remember what I told you
regarding the Mercur mine several
years ago."
What was it?" queried the reporter.
i said that the 1Iercur was the
greatest gold mine in the world was
Mr.. Browns answer, and ! want to
say right here that the Chloride Point
is as big a mine as the Mercur, and
time Will show that I am right in this
assertion. The stock of the company is
now selling at near the 40-cent mark,
and l am confident, and make the pre-
diction that within two years it Will
be selling at 81. so"
The mine is in magnificent shape
continued Mr.. Brown. The face Of
the workings is in mammoth body Of
ore, much of which is high grade, while
in its course there are 700 feet of virgin
ground to run in towards the Northern
reached. while below the present work
ing level about 40 feeS there exists large
zones of high grade milling gold ore,
which will be developed and worked
after our new mill is in operation, and
this. in addition to the immense depos-
its Of milling and shipping ore exposed
and blocked out in the upper workings,
will enable the company to make a
showing it viii have good reason to
feel proud Of"
Charlie Ford, who has charge of the
construction OF the Chloride Point mill,
who was in the CITY yesterday, states
that the mill building is now completed
and ready for the machinery, which is
on the way ana expected to arrive at
Mercur within q few days. At present
work in the construction of the tram
way from the mine to the mill is under
way. and it is expected that this will
be in working order by the 5th of De-
cember.
The trench for the pipe line from the
spring to the mill and mine is now
more than half completed. The length
OF the line is 1850 feet, and as the iron
pipe is on the ground ready to be put in
place ii VIII not be long before the sys-
tenn IS in working order The spring
has been developed so that there is an
abundance Of water for all purposes.

OPENS HIS EYES.
A Practical Test to Discover How
Coffee Effects One.

Probably no one thing will more pro-
foundry startle a man than to find out by
actual proof what coffee drinking is doing
for him. When he realizes that day after
day the physical machinery is not work
ing right. he naturally casts about for
the cause in order TO stop it before it
goes too far
But 10 locate the cause is frequently be-
yCnd the power Of himself and even his
to drop coffee and other narcotic drugs
like tobacco, etc, for a short period and
use Postum Cereal Food Coffee the
truth is brought home in unmistakable
terms.
The need of pure cereal coffee for hui
mainly was the active cause for the dis
covery of Postum. Plenty of Coffee Sub
stituteS' existed, but their unpalatable
taste prevented their use.
1t required over year of experiment
to discover how to select the proper arts
of cereals and roast them in such a way
as to give the taste of a mild and high
grade Java coffee and yet preserve the
entire purity and food value.
Postum now has imitators that throw
grain, wheat or cereal coffee" but
careful test and investigation shows that
every article of that sort which has any
distinctive coffee flavor, is simply a
cheap, low grade adulterated coffee; a
counterfeiter cares little what goes into
customers stomach The analysis of
Postum is furnished the Pure Food Com
states, and it is known to be absolutely
pure and highly nutritive.
Ten days use of the genuine Postum
properly boiled j. minutes after boiling
commences, tells surprising tales to
partly sick men and women.

The sunshine of prosperity has again
fallen on the Bullion-Beck mine, at Eu-
reka, and the indications are that the
assurance of forthcoming dividends
viii wreath the faces of Bullion-Beck
stockholders with smiles.
Affairs at the Bullion-Beck for some
time past have not been of nature
calculated TO cause any great hilarity
among the officers Of the company; but
now all is changed, and JOY now walks
serenely where erstwhile darkest gloom
held full SWAY as it was learned yes
terday that an important strike had
been made in the mine, which gives
promise Of developing into something
big
According to The Herald's inform
ant, and he is one of the directors of
the BUlliOu-Beck company, the discov
cry was made yesterday morning on
the 900-foot level, in the south end of
the mine, and consists at the present
writing of four-foot body of ore that
gives average values Of so ounces silver
and from 81 to Sc in gold to the ton.
AS the ore zone has Just been en-
countered its extent has not yet been
determined, but the indications are that

magnificent property is so justly cele
bTated.
The new find is in practically virgin
ground, although in the upper work
ings Of the mine good bodies Of ore
wer found in the same direction, but
this is the first work to the south that
has been done at this depth.
For the past year or 50 operations in
the working of the property have been
confined to the north of the shaft, on
the 1200-fcot level, but the low grade
OF the ore, the low price of silver and
excessive freight and smelling charges
prohibited ore extraction and shipment,
in consequence of which dividends have
failed to materialize during the last
few months.
Now. however. it is believed that a
reversal of recent conditions will ensue,
and that hereafter the usual regular
monthly dividends viii be forthcoming,
and that the company viii be able to
materially add to its velvet account,
which now stands at the handsome sum
of 50, 465 600

Conklin In Crinnla Creek.

1t is not generally known, but it is
fact, however, that J. c. Conklin,
one of Salt Lakes most respected citi-
zens, is now engaged in mining in
Cripple Creek. Colo. and his many
friends here sincerely hope that he
will make a barrel of money out of
his venture.
The Cripple Creek correspondent of
the Denver News gives an inzling of
what Mr.. Conllin is doing in Colorados
great gold camp, as follows:
The lease on the Little King on Gold
hill, operated by Wilder and others, was
today transferred to j. c Conklin Of
Salt Lake City, for a considerable sum
of money, the exact amount not being
given out. At 100 feet a level has been
run out. and considerable ore is now in
sight in that portion of the property
The correspondent of the Denver Re
publican also says:
u. c. Conlllin is stripping ore in the
l0O-foot level in his lease on the Little
King of the Ben Hur company, re-
Gently purchased of Wilder & Co A
good find was made in the property
several months ago, but after few
shipments the lessees failed to get out

SOCIAL EVENT Al vERNAL.
Ball For the Benefit of Mrs. Nina
Pack.

Vernal, Nov. 20.-Mrs. Nina Pack,
the wife of the former justice of the
peace, L. r. Pack, who underwent an
extremely delicate but successful OPP
GRAFTON for tumor at ST. Marks hos
pital, in Salt Lake six weeks ago, is
slowly but surely recovering.
Mrs. Pack has always taken a very
prominent part in ali public entertain
ments. Her hand and her voice have
ever been cheerfully given to further
any movement which had for it's OBJ
ject anything done for sweet charity
sake.
Last night a ball was given by her
lady friends here at the Vernal Opera
House, which was a great success So
cially and financially.
The very elite of Ashley's society
was there-a strong testimonial of the
esteem in which Mrs. Pack is held in
the community One hundred dollars
was realized, which, together with $50
realized on a former occasion, will be
Ashley's tribute to her worth. And
this was done in Ashley, the reputed
home of the reckless desperate. Last
nights affair was a refutation of that
charge. There were gathered there
spirits as refined and hearts as true
as those reared in the lap of extreme
civilization.
