THE BROMIDE MINE.
Work Being Pushed In the Erection
of Smelter.

of a Smelter.
Vernal, Sept 9O-In conversation to-
day with r. S. Collett of the Bromide
Mining company, it was learned that
matters are assuming a very lively as
pect over on Douglas mountain, where
the property is located.
! Teams and men are being sent out
there every few days. Thirty men are
now employed in and around the mine
and the smelter site. A number OF
teams are engaged in Transporting the
machinery from the railroad and haul
ing ore from the mine to the point
where the smelter is being erected,
which is four miles distant.
The foundation for the smelter is now
completed. One carload of machinery
is now on the ground and more will
arrive shortly. The pipe line, which
will convey an abundance of water
from a spring a half mile distant, is
completed and ready for operation.
A Mr.. Rouley of Castle Gate started
from the mine yesterday to superintend
the erection of charcoal kilns.
The expert who is to superintend the
erection of the smelling plant, has not
yet arrived. but is expected in few
DAYS.
Mr.. Collett stated that in his opinion
the plant would be ready for business
about the 1st of November.
The gentlemen interested in this
property are entitled to great credit for
the perseverance and pluck with which
they have prosecuted the development
of their property and it is sincerely
hoped that they will meet their just
reward.
1t has been learned that Uncle Jer-
ry'' Hatch and sons Alva and Joseph,
have concluded to put in 5-ton smell
ter by way of experiment on Deep
Creek. % miles northwest of Vernal,
where they are interested in some cop
per properties which show very favor
able indications.
All is quiet around the Victoria mine
over in Carbonate district, and the an
ticipated resumption of active opera
lions has failed to materialize. Just
why nobody seems able to explain.
It is rumored that Jesse Knight has
made an offer of 900 for the mine,
which was refused. The final transfer
of the mine to ]. L. Gates, who bid the
property in last spring, was completed
Tuesday through Sheriff Preece.
Lorenzo Hatch, who is heavily inter-
ested in the La Sal mountains in a
mining way. returned to Vernal last
Monday. and is as enthusiastic as ever
over his prospects in that section, and
is firm in his belief that it will be a
great camp.

LOGAN REPUBLICANS
Nominate a Weak County and Legis-
lative Ticket.
(Special TO NE Herald. J


| Logan, Oct. 3.-The Republican coun-
ty convention met this morning and
despite the disagreeable weather they
| have larger representation at the
meeting than for some years past. Dele
gates have been lured away from home
! by the fatuous report that there is a
bad split in the Democratic party
which has been industriously circulated
by the Republican managers. Joseph
c. Knowles was elected temporary
chairman and E. T. Hyde secretary
The usual committees were appointed,
after which an adjournment was taken
until o'clock.
Upon reassembling, the credentials
committee reported and the permanent
organization, consisting of Joseph A.
Smith, chairman, and e. T. Hyde, Sec
rotary, was installed. The platoon read
and adopted is given below in full:
I'VE reaffirm and renew our ale
glance to the principles of Republican
ism as exemplified by Lincoln, Grant
and Mckinley. We endorse the plat
form adopted by the state Republican
convention, and pledge our candidates,
If elected, to carry out its pledges to the
utmost. We commend the national ad-
minstriaton for its wise, vigorous and
benefcent policies at home and abroad,
whereby domestic prosperity has been
increased and our foreign influence and
prestige exalted. We believe the coun-
ty government can be efficiently con-
Quoted with one-third less expense than
at present, and we pledge our nominees
to such policy
This is the whole platform. Joseph
A. Smith read the report and, abiding
to the supposed split in the Democratic
party, tried to convince his hearers that
the Republicans have chance of win
ming in the county this fall The re-
organization of the county committee
was the first business that came up.
Joseph Knowles was named as chair
man of Logan precinct Nominations
for state senator were then called for.
Mr.. Joseph Knowles named Mr.. Joseph

COURTS AT PROVO.
Damage Suits On Trial Before Judge
johnson.
Especial to The Herald.)

Especial to The Herald.)
Provo, Oct. .3.-The district court re-
sumed session this morning, with Judge
Johnson on the bench.
The $4,000 damage suit OF John
Cowan against the r. G. w. Ry COM
pany was continued. The morning
was taken up in examining witnesses
for the defense. The main point
brought up was the statement of
Brakeman Berberich, who said that
he was on the car that struck Cowan's
wagon and that he didn't see the
wagon until he was within ten feet of
it and couldn't possibly have stopped
the car then; car was moving at the
rate of four miles an hour.
One witness, ]. S. Lee, was put on the
stand to corroborate his statement that
he was on the car.
This closed the defendants case.
The afternoon was occupied by the
Judge in instructing the jurors, and the
counsel on both sides in arguing the
cause, which reached the jury at $3.50
o'clock.
Six hours later a verdict for the
plaintiff for $3.50 was returned.
HAYS VS.. SLADE.
The next case to be heard is that of
Caroline Hays VS.. oliver Slade and
Olif Homestead. Plaintiff claims that

and situated west of Utah lake in Utah
county, and they have since held same
against her wish and have committed

of $3.50. Wherefore, plaintiff demands
judgment against defendants for the
restitution of said land, for $3.50 dam
ages for the wrongful withholding
thereof and for $3.50 damages for waste
and costs of suit. Plaintiff is repre-
sented by Warner & HoutZ and de-

WHYCOTTON IS NOW so CHEAP
ALL ON ACCOUNT OF THE IN
CREASED PRODUCTION.
Crop OF the United States Has Quad
rupled and Price Has Fallen to
One-fourth the Price In 1872.

New York, Oct. 3.-A special to the
| Times from Washington says: The
phenomenal price of cotton reported,
said to be the lowest price reached in
many years, lends special interest to
tables just compiled by the treasury
bureau of statistics-showing the re-
markable increase in cotton production
and coincident falling prices. These
tables show that the United States, the
chief cotton producer of the world, has
quadrupled her cotton production since
1872, and that the price of cotton in the
same period has fallen to about one
fourth that which prevailed in that
year.
When it is considered that the other
portions of the world that grow cotton
have not at all reduced their DrOduc-
ton meantime, it is apparent that the
increased continental supply of the
world in this quarter of a century I'M
der consideration have been very far
in advance of the increase in poDula-
ton or consuming power. Twenty-Five
years ago the United States produced
20 per cent of the cotton of the world.
Today she produces So per cent of
the worlds cotton. This increase in
the percentage has been, not because
of a reduction of the cotton produced
in other parts of the world, but simply
on account OF the increase III our OWL.
The cotton supply of the other cotton
producing sections of the world in 1872
10 was l ,667 900 bales, and in 1S97-9S l.
$4,000 bales. The average cotton pro-
duction of other countries from 1872 TO
1873 was 1,61S,00O bales per annum, and
from 1880 to 1897 was 1,924,0 GOO bales per
annum, showing that there has also
been a slight growth in cotton prOduc-
ton in other parts of the world, while
cur own production has been increas-
ing enormously.
Not only has the price of cotton fell
at the same rate that the production
has increased, but there has also been
a corresponding falling off in the price
of cloths manufactured from cotton.
The reports of the bureau of statistics
show that cotton printing cloths were
quoted at 7.SS cents per yard in 1872,
while reports just published show an
average rate of 2.17 cents per yard in
the year 1898 for the same grade Of
cloths, the fall in the price of the man
ufactured article thus having, in this
case at least, nearly or quite Kept pace
with the fall in the price of raw cotton
and the increase in production of that
article 1t is proper to add that the
price quoted for the earlier years are
based upon the currency values of that
period, and if reduced to a gold basis
would be slightly less.

OLD SPANISH GOLD MINE.
An Important Discovery Made In the
Mountains of Summit County.

Mountains of Summit County.
For years. runners have been in cir
culation in mining circles in Utah rel
alive to the existence of old Spanish
mines UP in the mountains in Summit
county, and it has been stated that
some of the first gold discoveries ever
made by the pioneers of this country
were made in that locality, the old
Mormon mine or the Lost mine being
the lodestone that has lured many a
prospector into that region
1t has been recorded from time to
time. also, that one or more of these
old wealth producers have been found,
but if they have been, nothing more
has been heard of them, and the dis
coVerers and locatorS have maintained
perfect secrecy regarding their worth
and value.
The hunt for these old treasure
vaults has not been abandoned, how
ever, and the subject of their sup
posed existence has been revived by the
arrival in the city Saturday last of
Will Bird, a Salt Laker, who has found
what he believes to be one of these
early producers, to prove which he is
exhibiting specimens of quartz, coming
from d five-foot ledge, which, he
claims, assays $114.40 in gold to the ton,
while he also has samples of a differ
ent character OF foch winch looks
highly mineraliZed, which, he states,
represents d mammoth ledge, the in
dications being that the ore measures
are ineXhaustible.
The new discovery is located Is miles
northeast of Kamas. 1t has been ex-
amined already by several experts,
who, it is understood, report that the
find is all o. X, and who are of the
opinion that with development it will
pan out big.
Mr. Bird and his associates have To-
Gated 20 claims in the locality men
toned, a number of which were put
in the names of several of the boys in
the employ OF the Rapid Transit COM
pany of this city.
