DORSEY and McKinlev.

Hon. George Dorsey is on deck again
at his office in the Dolly block, and
he is as enthusiasts as ever regarding
the mineral resources of Utah.
In speaking of his visit east the Ma
jor stated that President Mckinley was
taking a great interest in the welfare
of this state, and that his last words
when he parted with him were TO the
effect that if congress adjourned be-
fore or by the 10th of July he would
surely accept the invitation 10 visit
Salt Lake during the pioneer jubilee
When Major Dorsey left for Washing
ton he took with him a fine cabinet Of
Utah ores, which he presented TO Mr..
Mckinley, who was highly pleased
with their number and variety, and 1t
is expected that if he does honor this
city with a visit that he will be in
duced by the major and his friends to
make an inspection of some of the lead
ing mines of the state.
Major Dorsey will visit Mercur the
first of the week, and it is his intention
to extend his trip to the Granite noun
tain district, in Tooele county, where
he will make an examination of the
progress made in the development OF
the property owned by the Alpha Min
ing company, in which he is heavily
interested.
The reports from the Alpha are most
encouraging, and from samples of ore
sent in from there a few days ago as
says of $2S in gold, silver and lead were
obtained.
At the Hercules, on Lion Hill, in
which the major is also interested, the
force has been increased to three shifts.

HE GOT A STORY.

The other evening the head of the
news staff of a local daily was stand
ing in front of the Palmer House. An
elegantly dressed young woman sud
denly stopped before him and with evil
dent embarrassment inquired the way
to the Casino. The direction was given
and the newspaper man added that
the place was closed.
"Closed?" echoed the woman in sur
prise.
Yes; it hasn't been open for several
months"
"Oh WELL" she continued, Il guess
it is all right anyway. 1 am a stranger
in the city. A gentleman and his wife
from New York asked me to meet
them at o'clock in front of the Casino
to go to the theater. 1 supposed we
were going to the Casino. My friends
evidently are going to some other the
alter and asked me to meet them where
they thought would be the most con-
venient for me-"
She thanked him, gave him a smile,
which he remembered afterward, and
passed on. A minute later the news
paper man threw away the remnant
of his cigar. A bit of ashes, caught by
the wind, fell upon his coat lapel. In
brushing it off his hand accidentally
touched his cravat. The scarfpin
fore was gone.
1T wasn't worth a dollar, anyway"
he said to himself, consolingly, and
she is welcome to it; but I'd like to
know how she did 1t. There's a great
story in that woman if l could only
find her again and make her talk"
His intended visit to the theater was
given UP forthwith, and he began pa
trolling the downtown streets in search
for that story. An hour later he came
face to face with the woman he was
looking for. She evidently had seen him
first, but she made no attempt TO avoid
him.

She laughed. We'll" she said, II

The newspaper man offered to escort
his companion to her hotel. She de-

whirled away. He lighted another oi-
gar and strolled toward the theater.

One of these is the erection of a
smelter in which all of the wet ore
producers of the camp will be inter
ested, and it is believed that move of
this kind would prove successful as
we'll as profitable, as there is an abun-
dance of flux in the hills and mount
aims of the camp which could be util-
lied and at a comparatively small cost.
If this scheme is carried out the rail-
roads would gain new business in the
way of freight on coal and coke, and
they would also have the handling Of
the bullion. but this would fall short
of the business they are now doing in
the transportation of ores.
Another scheme is the erection of
cyanide ores, and there are a number
of big mines in the district which, ii is
believed, would be able to utilize this
process, which, if adopted. would cut
the railroads off from almost every bit
of business in connection with these
mines.
In this direction the Centennial-E u-
reka has set the ball in motion, and
The Herald is informed that the COM
pany has Just sent a lot of ore, being
average samples from every portion of
the mines, to Frank Hines. at the
Northern Light mine, on Lion hill. the
object being to have a thorough test
made in order to see if the ores of the
the cyanide process, and If the result is
satisfactory it is more than likely that
a mill using this system Will soon be
erected at the mine.
Another kick that the mine owners
are making is that the dealers in dyn-
amite have advanced the cost of this
commodity at least 80 per cent, and
two propositions are under considera-
ton to see if this raise cannot be met
successfully, and it is likely that the
One plan is for the mine owners 10
combine and make contracts for powder
with one firm only for a space of sew
eral years, and at reasonable figure.
This would probably bring the price of
powder down to what it is really worth.
If unsuccessful in this, it is more
than likely that those interested viii
establish a powder mandatory some
where in Utah, and this is a feasible
idea, as the ingredients that enter into
the manufacture of powder and dyna-
mite can be found in large quantities
in Utah; in fact, the constituent of gil
ant powder is a home product. and af-
ter the first cost of the plant is met
with, dynamite for mining purposes
need cut but a little figure in the oper-
ating expenses of mine.
As il is, if the railroads and the smell
ters do not retreat from the attitude
they have taken in the matter of adj
vanced charge, they are likely to wake
up some fine morning and find that
thir business. as far as the freighting of
ore is concerned, has dwindled down to
very small proportions.

Protect the System from Malaria.

1t is possible to do this even in re-
gions of country where miasma is
most rife, and where the periodic
fevers which it causes assume their
most formidable types. The immense
popularity of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is very largely attributable 10 the
fact of it's efficacy as a remedy for
chills and fever, bilious remittents, and
as a preventive of the various forms
of malarial disease. In those portions
of the west and south where COM
plants of this nature prevail and in
the tropics, it is particularly esteemed
for the protective influence which it
exerts; and it has been very widely
adopted as a substitute for the dan
gerous and comparatively inefficient
alkaloid, sulphate of quinine Physi-
clans have not been among the last
to concede its merits. and the emphatic
professional Endorsements which it has
received have added 10 the reputation
it has obtained at home and abroad.

Another Creole Strike.

Word was received yesterday from
the Creole mine, at Park City, that
another important strike had been
made in the west workings of this
property on the 60-foot level.
Some samples of ore from the new
discovery were also received. and il is
easy to see that it is high grade, and
in it's characteristics. old Park City
mining men say that it is Identical,
almost. with the product of the Silver
King mine, and it is believed that by
drifting on the find for a distance OF 100
feet a large body of this mineral will
be encountered.
The reported strike consists of a
body of ore from u to IS inches in
width that pitches into the hill towards
the lime contact and the Silver King
ore body. of which the Creole is an eX-
tension without doubt.
AS a result of the strike the officers
of the company are feeling highly elat-
ed, and are satisfied that with develop
ment the mine will make a splendid
showing as a heavy and regular pro-
Queer.
Another shipment of ore from the
workings is being taken out.
