Money Coming In For the Mining
Congress.
ENCOURAGEMENT
GIVEN
LETTERS FROM A NUMBER OF
PROMINENT CITIZENS.
All Agree That the Congress Will
Prove of Great Benefit to ne City
and State-A Talk With Secre-
tary Johnson-Has NO Doubt Of
Minimum Amount Forthcoming.

| Contributions for defraying the eX-
penses of the mining congress to be
held here in July are being received
daily at the congress headquarters. and
yesterday the amount donated had eX-
banded to S1,615.
Secretary ". d. Johnson and the rest
of the executive committe are greatly
pleased with the willingness shown by
mining and business men to give finan-
cial aid to the congress.
The international Mining Congress,
said Nh johnson yesterday, is a very
practical organization, formed for busi-
ness purposes, and the coming gather
ing in this city will bring together
thinking business men. There is no
doubt, therefore, but what Utah will
reap immense benefit from it il her peo-
pie will accord il the liberal support II
deserves. Our committee is very much
gratified at the promptness and gener-
osity already displayed in response to
our call for funds It is manifest that
our business men recognize the prac-
teal side of the congress. 1t is cer-
tainly a fact that the coming meeting
will be. from a business point of view.
the greatest event that Utah has ever
known. AS an advertisement of Utah's
mineral resources, her multitude OF OPP
portunities for investment OF capital in
all lines. her attractions as place OF
residence in the way of climate, scenery
and the hospitality Of her people. il wilt
prove unequalled, ard l say now, that
the larger the amount contributed IL
its behalf the greater will be the gain
in proportion.
There will never be a better oppor-
tunity to impress the name of Utah
upon the world. and make its great
variety of resources clearly known than
the present time.
I 90 rot think there is any doubt
but what the minimum amount re-
CURED to make il q credits bic event
will be forthcoming, but if all her people
could see the value of this especial Op-
portunity and the Importance of taking
full advantage of it. they would cheer
fully and voluntarily come forward
with double that amount

expressing sympathy with the prospect

There is no doubt that great good VIII

An Over-Rated District.

The expression is often
heard, "it will develop into
another Cripple Creek" as if
Cripple Creek marked the
high point of gold producing.
AS a matter af fact, the min
eral output of the CGur
d'Alene is up to the Cripple
Greek yield.
The Denver Republican of
March I claims that Cripple
Creeks output for February
was $I,I49,4oo. This is an
estimate, "made up from the
reports of the mills and data
gathered from railroads and
smelling men," The well
known booming tendencies of
the Cripple Creek district ex-
cite a suspicion that these fig

sum up: Stuart will ultimate
ly furnish an outlet and dis.
tributing depot for the inn
mense timber and mineral
wealth which all prospectors
and explorers bear witness ex-
lists in the Bitter Roots lying
eastward from Stuart, Idaho.
She will manufacture and send
out by water and rail to the
markets of the whole world
the raw material produced by
the richest agricultural dis
trict in Idaho. She will sup
ply the score or more of min
ing camps with their food and
merchandise, and will help to

rich ores which will be shipped
through her gates. She will

fruits grown within our val
leys and market the same
among a less. favored people.
Lastly, Stuart will furnish
homes for temperate and in.
dustrious population, who will,
in time, enjoy health, wealth
and happiness, for nowhere
else in the great state of Idaho
can be found greater natural
advantages accompanied by SO
delightful a climate and crys

Stuart will not be cramped

that will afford ample room

R,PENINo OF WINE.


How the juice of the Grape II Treated
In Switzerland.
The wine IN Switzerland is left in the
casks till the following spring, and it
is here that fermentation takes place
and the mout is converted into wine,
says the Cornhill Magazine. The
change begins almost Immediately;
the liquid becomes turbid, carbolic
acid gas is evolved, a scum is thrown
up on the surface and the temperature
rises. A climax is reached; the inten-
sity of the fermentation diminishes,
subsidies; The scum settles as a Shiny
deposit at the bottom of the cask and
clear yellow liquid is left above. The
grape sugar has almost entirely disap-
pearcd, q corrcsI onding amount of al
cohol has taken it's place, and the sweet
taste of the mout has given place to the
characteristic vinous flavor of the
wine.
In the early stages of fermentation
enormous quantities of carbonic acid
gas are given Off. and huge fires are
made in the cellars TO drive it away.
But at the time l write of October,
1899, when the vintage was the finest
Of the century, when barrels to hold
mout could not be purchased for love
or money, when every cellar on the
lake from Geneva to Villeneuve was
packed with casks of mout, SO great
was the amount of carbonic acid gas
| in the air that, in spite of every precau-
ton, several deaths from suffocation
took place among the workers. In the
spring the vine is drawn off clear into
other barrels, then bottled; win ordin-
aire is not bottled at all, but simply
drawn IRON the wood. This is the wine
sold at.ull the little wineshops with
which Switzerland abounds. It is
drawn Off into quaint little glass de-
canters containing half liter each,
and so served to the unhurrying Swiss,
who drink il rcrnd little tables under
the trees IN The slany pathways or over
wooden benches inside the red-cur.

How . seosGh Soldier Como It Over .,

There is an amusing story related re-
garding Scotch regiment, in the last
century, to whom a money grant was
paid for "rations" IN lieu of an issue of
provisions, with the result that the sol
diers spent most of this allowance in
mountain dew" instead of providing
themselves with proper meals. The
commanding officer, says the London
Standard, resolved to check this per-
nicious practice, took to making unex-
pected visits of inspection to the cook
ing quarters at the mems meal times,
and, to his wrath, discovered that the
kettle which was duly simmering over
the first fire which he visited contained
nothing but hot water, instead of the
regulation piece Of beef. But the old
sergeant of the next company was a
man Of resource. Hastily Selling a
pair OF chamois-leather brooches which
were lying before the fire, he popped
them into his own cooking-pot, which
was, like that Of his neighbors, hither-
to innocent of aught save water, and to
the inquiry: "What have you got in
the kettle?" triumphantly responded:
"Nice bit Of beef, SIR" lifting up por-
ton of the garments with his spoon.
The officer glanced at the supposed
meat, and passed on with words Of
commentator; "but the beef was
nothing but the majors own old
breeches," as the cunning old soldier
was won't to remark afterwards in a
tone of calm satisfaction.

With the cyanide process at
De Lamar mills comes a dread
ed and most fatal disease of
cyanide poisoning and anti
momy, which is working sad
havoc among the Dixie boys
who have formed the main
help at the De Lamar mills.
A few months work in the
dust laden mills performs its
deadly mission. At first it
affects the breath, which be-
comes very offensive, and the
lungs become irritated by the

in both China and Japan.
The armed kite is usually made about
two and half feet high and covered
with cambria or silk. The tail may be
made of strips of bright-colorcd cloth
about one inch wide, securely tied in
the middle to strong Irvine. The de-
structive part of this kite lies in
the tail, to which are attached sharp
pieces OF broken glass called knives,

A much simpler weapon is made by

The Klondike craze

The Klondike craze must
run its course. Advice or
argument is useless. The
energy, money and tenacity
of purpose could better be ex-
pended at home, but the indi-
rect result will be favorable to
the coast. The whole thing
is part of a liberal education,
and those who come back,
whether they have money or
not, if they have enough health
or vigor remaining after that
cruel experience, will aid in
the material development of
this region. Transportation
companies and furnishers of
all kinds of supplies will make
money this season.

From the Florence Miner.
Geo. w. Fisher, one of the
owners of the Blossom mine,
returned to Florence last
Tuesday from Big Creek.
where he passed the winter de-
veloping his property in that

enthusiastically of the mining
outlook at the several camps
north and east of Florence,
and expects to see a great
deal of money invested next
summer in Big Creek, Dixie,

some creek. AT Big Creek a
number ofclaims have been de.
veloped sufficiently to demon
strate that there as elsewhere,
the veins increase with depth.
The Union No. 4 which is
tapped 100 feet deep with a
tunnel, shows three and one
half feet of ore on the surface
and eight feet in the tunnel;
solid, without a particle of
water, which assays from $3.50
to $o2 per ton. On the sur
face the ore being oxydized
is practically free milling, but
strictly speaking the ores are
base, and will be treated by
colonization or cyanide process
probably the latter, as this
treatment is pronounced well
suited to this character of ore.
A number of other claims in
the same locality are consid-
erably developed, and all
show practically the same
characteristics. Big Creek
lies east of Florence, some
thing less than forty miles dis

he starts out in the morning, he takes
out the barrels, and pointing them to-
wards the earth as he holds them in
his left hand, he springs the stock into
its place with his right. Then having
fixed on the little piece of wood which
clinches the two parts together, he
passes his right arm around the barrels,

up and behind him at an angle of about
forty-five degrees, and the barrels
point down toward the earth at a sim
