PARK RECORD J0TT1NGs.
Sensation Promised Regarding a
New Discovery.

If al the facts We're obtainable the
Record could give an interesting ac-
count of a sensational mineral discovery
made within the past two weeks by c.
W. Thompson of this city. The gentle
man had been absent from town for
seNera! weeks on prospecting trip, and
returned Thursday afternoon. He
brought with him a buShei Of the finest
looking ore that has ever come to the
writer's notice. and it was taken from
surface groupings. a piece Weighing
about 20 pounds tells plainly enough that
the ledge from which il came IS "A large
one. Returns from ASSAYS have not as yet
been handed in. but unquestionably the
rock dime SPAR carries values to the
ton running into the hundreds. It is a
copper-silver-glace proposition. and will
also show good returns in gold. The
diScOVerer will not betI'aN the locality of
the find except TO say that II is in Utah
and within q radius of 100 miles OF Park
City. The ore Is on exhibition al the
store of Frank Andrews, who is interested
IN the discovery. together with {. w
Thompson. Hans Christensen. Gus Burk-
man. w. Il. Glass. all of Park City; G. G..
Kidder of Salt Lake and VIII Parsons
near Ogden. Mr.. Thompson. who has
had years of experience in the mining
business, says that he believes ii the most
valuable discovery that has ever been
made in Utah. He viii return to the
property some day next week. and the
work of taking out ore will at once be
proceeded with. AS soon as the dis
cOVerers have their locations properly
recorded and their title to the ground
made secure the locality of the find will
be made known.
STRIKE ON BEAVER CREEK.
About two years ago Heber Stalings
and associates located Il group of claims
in Beaver Creek canyon about three
miles east of Kamas. a tunnel was
started through which to prospect their
ground. and was driven into the noun
tain quite q distance without disclosing
anything to speak OF. except now and
then the finding of struggling pieces of
galena ore. Last week, however. the
owners were treated to 4 sensational eX-
perience by the cutting of a three-foot
vein of fine looking carbonate ore in the
face of the tunnel J. w. Larsen, the
Records informant. says that the mat
ter is being kept very quiet. that all the
ground in the adjacent hills may be To-
Gated before the strike becomes generally
known The writer was shown piece
of the rock and it certainly has the ap-
pearance of being particularly rich in
lead Assays have been obtained. but
the returns are kept a secret. Old min
ing men have long cOntended that the
mountains to the north and east of
Kamas contain rich mineral deposits and
this discovery would seem to give some
color to their contentious.

MORAL TRAINING IN SCHOOLS.

Starting on a misconception of the
purpose Of the paper read by Miss
Evans, principal of Carleton college, be-
fore the school union in this city, our
Northf1eld correspondent naturally
travels a wrong path through his cri-
tique. The paper was not "a review of
the practical result of moral train
ing in the public schools but state
ment of conditions, for which she gave
as a reason why there should be dis
tinct, purposeful training Of morals as
a. part of the curriculum Of the schools.
There was no claim made by her that
there has ever been any special in
struction in that line in the schools. nor
that there has been anything more
than the influence of association with
moral and high-minded teachers. This
removal of a misconception clears away
a large portion Of the criticism made
on the address.
AS to the statements Of men Of at
fairs made to Miss Evans. upon which
her argument rested, they were largely
matters of individual Judgment of men,
based upon their personal observation,
and sprobably have surer basis of
fact than our correspondent will &C

HIS DEATH SUDDEN.
William BlOm a Victim of Epileptic
COnVulsi0ns,

William Blom, laborer formerly in
the employ Of the st. Paul & Duluth
railroad, was found dead in an out
house in the rear of John Josephson's
boarding house at No. 1 Phalen creek.
in Swede hollow, shortly after o'clock
yesterday morning. Coroner Nelson
investigated the case and decided that
death resulted from epileptic convul-
SionS.
.Blom had lived at Josephsons for
the past two months, occupying room
with two companions. During the
night his roommates heard him get up
and leave the room. When they arose
in the morning he was missing and q
search resulted in the finding of his
body in the clubhouse. It was evident
that he had been dead several hours
Little is known Of Blom in ST. Paul
beyond the fact that he frequently re-
ceived treatment at the free dispensary
for epileptic convulsions. A letter on
the person of the dead man showed
that he had sister and brother In
Chicago. The coroner also found in q
pocket $50 in money. certificates of de-
posit in the Swedish-American Bank Of
Minneapolis for SITS, and a certificate
on the First National bank, of Mime

SHOOTS No PIGEONS,
But Mrs. Day Has Made a Hit in
Kansas.

Among the novelties Of the state
shooting tournament to be held at
Washington park this week, says the
Kansas City Times, will be a lady trap
shooter, Mrs. DR.. D. H. Day, Of St
Paul, Mimi, who arrived yesterday
with her husband. They were out at
the grounds yesterday examining the
traps and fixtures. Mrs. Day was
particularly interested in the pigeon
house, which now contains 10000 live
BIRDS
''I never could shoot at live
pigeon" said she. "They are such
pretty, harmless things. and then, it's
just as much fun to shoot at the mud
pies and takes just as much skill.
When I can break my targets as well
as the best shots among the men /
will be satisfied. I will leave the live
bird shooting to those who enjoy 1t
more than I do"
Mrs. Day is as fond Of trap shoot
ing as her husband, and has made
some excellent scores. The second day
of the Des Moines shoot she broke 10S
out of 120 birds, making an average
Of S71A per cent. Her average for the
three days was S4.6 per cent. which
was considerably higher than many OF
the men. At the Waterloo shoot last
week she ran 46 out of so birds in
three events. and the shooting there
was very difficult, as the few straight
scores made will testify.
