Housewives who think the coopera-

it would be absurd to look forward to
it for relief from daily drudgery will
be interested to hear that a kitchen with
the same end in view as the cooperative

nearly so years, says the New York
Press. The Association Alimentaire, of
Grenoble, France, is a purely municipal
affair. The city owns it and supplies
meals ut cost in its own restaurant or
delivers them at private homes.
Everything at the Association Ali

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 at a 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.
The 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 towns-Eu-
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 busi-
ness way.
At the base of the foothills only few
miles away, is a valley Of 25,OOO acres of
fruit aud 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
q double daily train service between
Salt Lake City and the Tintic Mining
District. For further particulars apply

Some of the more partisan Republi-
can state papers are criticising Governor
Adams because ne removed the deputy
warden of the state penitentiary and
put a Democrat In his place. These

fact that the governor retained the Re.
publican warden of the pen in Office;
they also overlook the fact that Gov

about as many Republicans to office az
Democrats.

BRUTAL CRIME.
A Negro Splits Open the Heads of
Three Persons.


Mayesvllle, s. c., January 1.--Simon
Cooper, the negro outlaw who shot and
killed another negro and wounded several
others at Magnolia few days ago. and
for whom there is reward OF 800 offered
by the governor, added moro murder to
his record near Magnolia this morning.
Cooper entered the house of MIR. Ben VIII
son at sunrise and demanded the use OF
MIR. Wilson's buggy. which was refused.
This human monster then picked up an AK
and split Mr.. Wilson's head open. He at
tackled Mr.. Wesley Wilson, the son. and
murdered Mrs. Wesley Wilson with the
same weapon. AS soon as the news OF uit
shocking tragedy reached Sumter the sher-
III organized a posse, chartered a special
car and came TO Mayesvlle, where rem
forcements from there and the surround
ing country awaited him. Word reached
the sheriff that Cooper had been within tw.
miles OF Sumter. The sheriff divided the
volunteers into several posses and sent
them in different directions, but Cooper was
not found.
The Wilson's were white people OF high
standing IN thctr community, and their
death is deplored by all who knew them.
Mr.. Ben Wilson was about so years old
and his son Weelcy 40. and Mrs. Wesley
Wilson 35. Three children havo been lett
orphans by the deed OF the monster Cooper.
Up to this hour q a. m Friday Cooper
has not been captured. but 1t Ia almost I'M
possible for him to escape, as tho country
is being secured in every direction. =.
