The French Fad Overdone.

The French have had hospitable
reception from US of late years,
says Henry D. Sedgwick, Jr., in
The Atlantic. Their books have been
read with diligence, their novels
have strewn ladies' tables, their
ideas have inspired our men of let
tiers. "Englished, " done into Eng
lish," translated, converted, trans
fused into English, French litera-
ture furnishes forth our young la
dies with conversation and our
young gentlemen with cosmopoli-
tanism, until the crushed worm of
national prejudice begins to squirm
and turn. Flaubert, the high aspir-
ing; De Maupassant, the cunning
craftsman; Bourget, the puppet
shifter, and lola, the zealot, have had
their innings. Their side is out. The
fiery bowling of Mr.. Kipling has
taken their last wicket, and those of
US who have been born and bred in
prejudice and provincialism may re-
turn to their English-American ways
with fair measure Of jauntiness
We are no longer ashamed to lose
interest when we hear of an 'inav-
liable" catastrophe or of "impecca-

bitterly modern spiritual complex
tiles. Let us have done with raw
admiration of foreigners. Let us no
longer heed Ibsen and lola

LOOK IN HIS MOUTH.
How to Tell the Age of a Horse by His
Teeth.

How to Tell the Age of a Horse by His
Teeth.
AT 3 years old the horse should
have the central permanent nippers
growing, the other two pairs vast
ING, six grinders in each jaw above
and below, the first and fifth level,
the others and the sixth protruding.
The sharp edges of the new incisors
will be very evident, compared with
the old teeth. AS the permanent nip
pers wear and continue to grow q
narrow portion of the cone shaped
tooth is exposed by the attrltlon OF
the teeth on each other. The mark
will be wearing out, and the crowns
of the teeth will be sensibly smaller
than at years. Between 81 and 4
years the next pair of nippers Will
be changed, the central nippers will
have attained nearly their full
growth, a vacuity will be left where
the second stood, and the corner
teeth will be diminished in breadth,
worn down, and the mark in the
center of the tooth will become
faint. The second pair of grinders
will be shed.
Alta years the central nippers will
be fully developed, the sharp edge
somewhat worn off and the mark
somewhat wider and fainter. The
next pair will be up, but they will
be small, with a mark deep and ex-
tending quite across them. The cor
ner nippers will be larger than the
inside ones, but smaller than before
and fiat and the mark nearly effaced.
The sixth grinders will have risen
to level with the others, and the
tushes will begin to appear.
At the horses mouth is almost
perfect. The corner nippers are
quite up, the long, deep mark irreg-
ular in the inside, and the other nip
pers will bear evident tokens of in
creased wear. The tushes are near
ly grown, the sixth molar is up, and
the third molar is wanting. This
last circumstance will prevent the
deception of attempting to pass
late 4-year-old as 5-year-old. At
6 the mark on the central nippers is
worn out. At z the mark is worn
out in the four central nippers and
fast wearing away in the corner
teeth. The tushes are rounded at the
points and edges and beginning to
get round inside. At s years old the
tushes are rounded in every way,
and the mark is gone from all the
bottom nippers. There is nothing
remaining in them that can after
ward clearly show the age of a
horse. After this the only guides
are the nippers in the upper jaw.
At 9 the mark will be worn from
the middle nippers, from the next
pair at 10 and from all the upper
nippers at II. At the center nip
pers are round instead of oval. At
10 the others begin to become round
ed, at II the second pair are much
rounded, at Is the corner ones have
the same appearance, at IA the faces
of the center nippers become some
what triangular and at II they are
all so.-St. Louis Republic.

CASTLE DALE POLITICS.
Emery County Is Sure to Roll UP
Another Democratic Majority.

Castle Dale, Aug. Emery county's
POLITICAL thermometer has not indicated
anything lower than fever heat for
month past. The excitement was pre-
cipitated by the contest over the cleo
ton of a county superintendent of
schools, and has abated nothing since
the returns came in.
The Republican county convention
for the selection of delegates to the
state convention has been called to
meet at Castle Dale on Aug. 20.
This county can usually be relied
upon for a safe Democratic majority,
and it's reputation in this respect will
doubtless be sustained this fall. "a state
senator from the district and a repre-
sentative from the county are to be
elected, and in addition to the Demo-
CT attic and Republican candidates, the
silver Republicans are expected to have
a ticket in the field. This will make the
fight interesting, especially so as there
are a full set of county officers to be
elected, and the probabilities are tia e
will be three complete tickets in the
field. What the result will be no man
knows, but the warriors are whetting
their knives and the harvest of scalpS
promises TO he large.

NEWS FROM KOTZEBUE SOUND.
Schooner Moonlight Wrecked, But
Passengers Were Saved

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 2.-The first
news received from the many vessels
that left here early in the summer with
gold seekers for Kotzebue sound. Alas
ka, came today in letter from Charles
Thornton, announcing the wreck of the
schooner Moonlight July at the en-
trance of the Kawayk river. Her pas
sengers and their outfits we're all saved.
The vessel was wrecked on one of many
small islands that lie in the entrance of
Kotzebue sound. The skipper, who was
unfamiliar with the coast, refused TO
take on Indian pilots. The Moonlight
was one of the first vessels to sail
from here this season for Kotzebue
sound. The Moonlight carried from
here 90 passengers. On the Moonlight
was a large amount of lumber. This
was saved. and will be used by the
shipwrecked passengers in the con-
struction of boats to ascend the Kaw-
ayk river and continue their explora-
tiOnS.

from to 8 per cent in this metal while
the silver, lead and gold contents are
holding their own in pleasing manner.
As mentioned in Sundays Herald, Frank
MoorehonSe has started out on a trip
through the Deep Creek country, and it
is generally supposed that he is out on a
prospecting trip for a prominent business
and mining man OF this city; but it is sur
missed by few who think they can "call
the turn, that, the visit into this great
mineral region Is really in the interests
OF a railroad company which Is figuring
on building line out through this stretch
of country.
S. L. Boggs has returned from a visit
to some of the mines of Lion HILL includ-
ing the Chloride Point and the Columbia.
The former. he states, is looking way up
and the mill is running most satisfactory,
while in the Columbia the showing is ex-
ceilent, the indications being that this will
ere long come to the front as one of the
leading properties of the district. Mr..
Boggs referred especially to the workings
in the Rosa shaft, on the Columbia, where
a three-foot body of shipping chloride ore
is exposed.
Another test was made yesterday by
Captain F. NJ. Bishop, on ore from the
washington mine, up City Creek canyon,
the result being astonishing, as it was
shown that the rock carried values of
!, 1882 ounces in gold and $40 ounces in sill
Yer, which. with silver estimated at so
cents an ounce, made total valuation of
$22, SS5 to the ton in the precious metals.
The rock from which the assay was made
is an iron stained ore that has no appear
ance of value, but when crushed and
PANIED it is easily seen that it is phe-
rich the soid beng coarse AID
in the form of fakes as large as pin
head. The double compartment shaft on
the Washington has now attained a depth
of eight feet, and an earnest effort is
being made to find the ledge from which
this rich ore came.

Mammoth Chronicles Gains and Is
Popular With the Dealers.

better tone was noticeable in the
mining share market on the floor of the
mining exchange yesterday, and ad-
varces were noted in the quotations
in number of the leading securities.
AS usual. nothing was done in the
way of sales until Geyser- Marion was
reached, 200 shares of this Mercur ia
Vorite changing hands at rs cents.
Grand Central was slumDy, and
dropped board lot at $685., the clos
ing quotations being $3.50 bid and $3.50
asked. Mammoth moved upward in d
gratifying manner, and was in good de-
mand at $1.S71A, sales being recorded at
this figure. Mercur was also on the up
grade. and before the close was wanted
at $3.50, although this bid was with
drawn to SIPS at the close. Sacra-
mento was a surprise to many in the
pit, and made splendid gains before the
next stock was called, the closing quo
tations being So cents bid and so asked.
Utah touched 671a cents in the bidding,
with the lowest offering at so.
Chloride Point led the unlisted stockS
in the way of sales, and posted trans
fers at 81 cents. Dalton followed with
a thousand share lot at half a cent,
and disclosed upward tendencies. Swan
sea was firm at former figures. Dexter
was beared in the bidding, but firmly
held The balance of the list estab-
lished only nominal quotations.

tried to sell the claims for $50, but
could find no purchaser. =
After awhile a tenderfoot came along
and offered $500 for the claimS-$50 in
cash. They were sold, but the claims
reverted to the men who had located
! them, because the other $3.50 was not
forthcoming They sold those claims
no fewer than four times, and each
time they reverted to the original own
ers because of an unpaid balance. The
! region was getting richer every year.
| The last sale was for $4,000, with a
cash payment of $4,000, the balance
to be paid at the end of the year.
When the year was up, again the bal
ance was not paid. Burns and Doyle
proceeded to develop the Portland,
which had proved to be the most prom
p, Using.
| Within ten days they had uncovered
a bonanza
know of their luck. The Portland had
been sold and resold so often that the
title was clouded. He knew that if it
were known that they had ore running
into the thousands per ton, the working
of the mine would be enjoined.
After a hard days work they would
pack 100 pounds of ore down the steep
grade under cover of night to the
railway track two miles away. No
one knew that the Portland had pay
ore until Burns and Doyle had more
than $10e. 600 in bank.
Then a stock company was organized
and the storm broke. There was in
junction after injunction, orders to
show cause, orders of arrest and all
manner of legal proceedings. At one
time there were 81 suits against the
Portland's owners. Burns detailed an
armed squad of miners around the
shaft house. and no one could break
through, either sheriff or lawyer, armed
with an order from the court.
Owners of adjacent claims said that
their ore was being taken out through
the Portland By this time Burns and
Doyle had half a million dollars at
their command. Every adjoining claim
was purchased, and Burns carried
through every suit successfully. The
result is that Burns and Doyle's claim
of rs by Ill feet has developed into the
Portland Gold Mining company, of
which Burns is president, with a cap
ital of $14, 100000, owning 129 acres of
the richest gold mining property in the
United States, comprising the Anna
Lee, Bob Tail, Scranton, Portland, Vim
dicator, Captain, Portland No. and
Last Chance mines.
Burns is a man of strong convictions.
He is a devout Catholic and a sound
money man in a country where nine
HleH out OIL ten are IOr Tree silver. he
is Republican. His partner and dear
est friend, Doyle, was recently a can
didate for the state senate on the Pop
ulist ticket. Burns spent a pile of
money to defeat him.
Jimmy, you are a good boy" Burns
would say to him, "but you have been
badly advised in politics. You are al
ways off on your facts"
During the strike a lynching party
assembled on Battle mountain with a
victim. Burns rode up to the mob and
talked to them.
Boys" he said, II know nearly
every one of you. If any harm hap
pens to those two men, I'll spend my
last cent to run you all to EARTH
The lynching was promptly aban-
doned and the prisoners released.

THE JUAB POT Is BOILING.
Candidates For the Various Offices
Sprinoine Up Everywhere.


,Nephi, Aug. 1.-The political pot is on
in Juab county and the gentle sizz of
political steam is beginning to escape.
Candidates for the different oInces
are bobbing up Serenely from both
sides of the county, all confident tina
the welfare of the masses depend upon
their selection to insure their future
happiness. The most important Office
in Juab county to be filled this coming
election is that of representative to the
legislature, and there is so much good
Democratic timber to select from that
the convention, when it meets, will
scarcely be able to make mistake. AT
Silver is Hon. C. V. Wheeler, the pres
ent representative; at Mammoth, Cap
tain John Condor; at Eureka, Hon.
George Ryan, John II. McChrystal,
County Attorney Pike, n. a. Robertson
and others. And at Nephi, Judge F. w.
Chappell, the old, reliable warhorse;
Hon. George c.. Whitmore and W. A.
c. Bryan. Whoever the nominee may
be, he certainly will be one competent
to represent this important constituent
cy, and Loyalty support the cause OF
silver and Democracy.
The Republicans, it is whispered,
would trade off everything on their
ticket if they could elect their repre-
sentative, but their hope of any such
contingency is about as dead as the law
giving a bounty on canaigre root.
Republican State Committeeman
Adams returned from Tintic yesterday,
apparently self satisfied over the polit-
ical outlook there. He claimed most of
the 16 Republicans who were in evil
dence up there two years ago, can still
be depended upon, and he therefore has
issued a call for county convention to
meet at Eureka, Sept 8. to elect Is del
egates from this county to the state
convention to be held at Salt Lake
City Sept 8. Henry is recognized as the
Brown push" here, and BY getting in
the field early, shows Arthur's fine
political discernment. There is lots of
fun ahead.

THE GREAT PORTLAND MINE.
History of One of the Richest Pro-
ducers In Colorado.

Five years ago, says the New York
World, James F. Burns was working
as a Number in Colorado Springs, and
thanking his stars that he was able to
earn 800. 80 week. Today he is worth
between IS, 000, 600 and $10,000,000. He is
the president of the Portland Mining
company, the richest concern OF the
kind in Colorado, perhaps in America.
And he is 80 years old.
His experiences would fill many pages
of this newspaper. But the manner in
which he gained his present wealth is
most remarkable. 1t is known to every
one in Denver. Burns had drifted west
and five years ago he was working in
Colorado Springs as plumbers helper
1t is interesting to know that he was
good workman. One day he happened
to overhear a young man talking to
another The accent was music to
Burns ear.
Excuse me- he said, "are you not a
down eastern You talk like Maine
man."
From Portland" said the other. He
was James Doyle, printer.
Pm from Portland myself, said
Burns.
This was the beginning of a strong
friendship. When the gold discoveries
in Cripple Creek excited the world, the
young men determined to seek their
fortunes there. Burns borrowed two
pack mules and with $40 worth of pro-
visions they went forth.
Doyle walked behind the mules as
they slowly made their way up the
Cheyenne canyon, where Helen Hunt
Jackson is buried. He stopped to look
at the valley of the Arkansas, Mani
tou and the Garden of the Gods.
Lets stop here, Jimmy" said
Burns; I'm tagged out. I'll go on
that hill and you go on that one yon-
der and We'll each locate a claim and
be equal partners"
They were still five miles from Grip
pie Creek, but they thought the soil
looked promising. Burns named his
claim The Professor, because he had
met a man who was prospecting who
said he had been a professor in an
eastern college. Doyle found only a
fraction of a claim, a strip IS feet by
Ill, that had been overlooked. He
named his claim the Portland, in honor
of his old home. The next day they
pushed on to Cripple Creek.
AT the end of two months they gave
John Hartman third interest to assay
the claims. This consists of digging
two holes ten feet deep and testing the
ore. During the next two months
Burns and Doyle worked wherever
they could get job. They were hard
pressed at the end of six months and
