art stated that the mine was in most
encouraging condition, and that it EN-
braced some of the most promising IN
developed ground in the district ad-
joining, as it does, the famed Galena
mine, and The Herald was also inform
ed that while some high grade ore. was
being taken from the property from
time TO time, a force of four men was
employed at the present time in run
ming a cross-cut from the 50-fOot level
for the purpose of exposing the contact
between the porphyry and the lime.
In referring to the mines of the camp,
Mr.. Stewart said that at the Galena
good progress was being made in the
installation of the new gasoline hoist,
and that it would soon be in operation,
as the guides for the cage were now be-
ing put into the shaft. AS to the mine,
it is looking we'll, with fine bodies of
ore exposed, a car or two of which had
been stored in the ore house, awaiting
shipment, when he left the camp. last
week Thursday.
AS TO Utah the Mr.. Stewart confirmed
the reported strike of a fine body of
nigh grade ore in this property a short
time ago in one of the lower levels. the
metallic value of which is claimed to
run as high as 65 per cent lead and 500
ounces in silver to the ton, a shipment
of which has already been made to the
signment is now nearly sacked. The
machinery for the new hoist for the
Utah, according to The Heralds inform
ant. is now at Oasis, and the further
statement was made that grading is in
progress for the new plant at point
about 400 or 500 feet from the old shaft
at the mine, where, with the new and
improved appliances, a new shaft will
be sunk in order to open the mine to
better advantage
At the Utah No. 2, Superintendent
George Morehouse is pushing develop
ments, and it is his intention to make
a shipment of high grade ore some time
this week. Mr.. Morehouse is pushing
work on number of pretty fair chutes
OF ore, and is confident that in time the
Utah No. will rank up with the other
producers of the camp.
1t is understood that the Emma, in
which there is a good showing of ore in
the bottom of the shaft, will start up
again within short time
MIR. Stewart will return to the Meteor
within a week or ten days, and win
push development until the property is
classed as regular producer.

AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTY.
NUNN'S PETITION FOR A FRAN
CHIsE NOT REACHED.
To Suppress Petty Thieving In the
Settlements-Fee Earnings In the
Offices of the County Clerk and
Sheriff.

Yesterdays meeting of the board of
county commissioners was, for the
most part, devoted TO the considera-
ton of routine business and the al
loWance of current expense claims. The
press of unintereSting matters prevent
ed final consideration of l.. L. Nunn's
petition for a franchise TO construct
and operate an electric railway along
the county highways from the south
western limits of the city to Bingham
However. the petition will probably be
granted at next weeks meeting.
Sheriff Lewis was authorized to en-
ploy for period of so days an addi-
tional deputy, at a salary of SO a
month, to suppress the petty thieving
and hobo depredations complained of
in the rural settlements.
The petition of Thomas Council for
an appropriation of S12.45 to pay the
delinquent tax and costs on the $500
mortgage owned by him, was referred
to a committee. 1t was represented
that the interest on the mortgage was
the old gentleman's only means of sup
port.
County Clerk Dunbar reported the
fee earnings for the month of January
in the district court department at
$64O. 40 and in the county clerks office
at SS40.95.

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA?
Some Requirements That Will Be
Found Indispensable.

The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispen-
sable. is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot
be used-it must be baking powder;
and the powder manufactured by the
processes of the Royal Baking Powder
company, miners and prospectors have
learned, is the only one which will
stand in that peculiar climate of cold
and dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one of the cheap brands
of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens ii for use. after all his Ia
Dor in packing it over the long and
difficult route, he will find a solid
caked mass or a lot OF spoiled pow
der, with no strength and useless. Such
a mistake might lead to the most Sc
rious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food, or try TO
economic with your stomach. For use
in such a climate, and under the try
ing and fatiguing conditions of life
and labor in that country. everything
must be the best and most useful, and
above all it is imperative that all food
supplies shall have perfect keeping
qualities. It is absurd to convey over
such difficult and expensive routes an
article that will deteriorate in transit,
or that will be found when required
for use to have lost a great part of
its value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters, than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expe-
rience. Mr. McQuestin, who is called
the father of Alaska" after an ex-
perience of years upon the trail, in
the camp, and in the use of every kind
of supply. says: I'VE find in Alaska
that the Importance of a proper kind
of baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with a can of bad
baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska. We have tried all sorts. and
have been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further, but above all
things, it is the only powder that will
endure the. severe climatic changes of
the Arctic region"
1t is FOR the same reasons that the
United States government in its relief
expeditions. and Peary, the famous
Arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Pow der exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates. and
is the most highly concentrated and
efficient of leavening agents. Hence it
is indispensable to every Alaskan out
fit Tt can be had of any of the trad
ing companies in Alaska, but should
the miner procure his supplies before
leaving he should resist every at
tempt of the outfitter to palm off upon
him any of the other brands of baking
powder, for they will spoil and prove
the cause of great disappointment and
trouble.
