During his stay in Manning on Mon
day of this week, Hon. John Dern,
president of the Mercur Mining COM
pany, selected the site and made ar
rangements for the erection of new
building for the tank or teaching de-
partments of the Mercur mill, it haT-
ing been decided to abandon the tank
building in the gulch, and to locate the
new structure on the hill south of the
engine house. it being the intention to
make this new addition as complete IN
every way. as possible, the latest in
ventions in the way OF Labor-saving de-
vices TO be installed, while the ma
chinery equipment will be as nearly
automatic as possible.
The lumber il the old building VIII
be largely used in the new structure,
but it is the intention to put in new
tanks each with a holding capacity of
$50 tons, which will be an improvement
over the old system.
The present plant has a capacity Of
treating 300 tons of ore daily, but when
the contemplated improvements are
COMPLETED the mill will be able to
handle 400 tons every "a hours.

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN
BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion Of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
! tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines). are usually the result Of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
Sest the food. The result is a heavy,
sodden mass, which ferments (the first
process of decay, poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak, and lacking in
red corpuscleS; poisoning the brain,
causing headaches and pain in the
eyes,
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys.
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this IS so because every organ.
every nerve. depends upon the stom-
ach alone for nourishment and renewal.
and weak digestion shows itself, not
only in loss of appetite and flesh, but
in weak nerves and. muddy complexion.
The. great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
geSt food properly, because they lack
the. proper quantity of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrOchloric) and peptO-
genie products; the most sensible rem
edy in all cases of Indigestion is TO take
after each meal one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they sup
ply in q pleasant. harmless form all
the elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use OF Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets Will cure every form sOf
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result
only from wholesome food well di-
gested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets at 80 cents, full sized
package, or by mail by ecnclosing price

Robbie Creek MARBLE Is Good.

A few days ago there was incorpor-
ated in this city the Hobble Greek
Marble company, the following named
gentlemen being officers and directors:
Allen G. Campbell, president; Don c.
Robbins, vice president; Timothy
Egan, treasurer; Mathew Cullen, w. A.
ByerS and J. L. Perkes, secretary.
The company owns LOCO acres of
marble lands in Hobble Creek canyon,
about nine miles east of Springvige, in
Utah county, and proposes to develop
the same in an energetic manner and
put the product of the quarrieS on the
market at an early date.
The marble is of a light brown color,
beautifully marked, and stones of any
desired size can be cut out of the
Lodges at small expense.
The character of the stone is some
thing unusual. 1t will take a most
beautiful polish and is we'll adapted
for interior or exterior decoration, and
it is claimed that it has no equal In
addition, there is fine stream of water
close by that can be utilized to furnish
power for running of sawmills and
other machinery.
The development of the quarries and
preparing of the product for the mar
ket promises to be, in the near future,
one of Utah's foremost industries.

FORGERY CHARGED.
John Simonsen Accused of Illegal
Writing On a Note.
Especial to The Herald,

Especial to The Herald.)
Logan, Oct. 4.-John Sinfonsen, a
young man of Newton. was arrested
this morning by Sheriff Turner on a
charge of forgery. About the middle
of August Simonsen went to Alfred
Picot, a money-lender of this city, and
asked for loan on a personal note OF
$3.50. Picot insisted upon a respon-
sible endorser, and Simonsen, taking
the note away, returned a few days
later with the endorsement of Bishop
John Griffin of Newton upon it. Picot
some time afterward learned that
Griffin had not seen the note, and ST.
monsen was Immediately hunted uD.
He confessed to the forgery, and then
went to Hyrum and secured the en-
dorsement of a prominent citizen there
upon another note, with which he paid
the forged one. The matter was let
drop until a few days ago Simonsen
announced his intention of skic . ng
the country and leaving the second en-
dorser in the lurch. Then he was ar
rested, and today went to Jail in de-
fault of a $500 bond to appear before
the district court.
A very pleasant social party was
given last evening in the Second ward,
for the benefit of Miss Maggie Fifield
of this city, who is the first lady to be
called from here to the missionary field.
A pleasant time was spent, and a neat
sum of money was raised and pre-
scented TO her.

WHITECAPPERS.
Disgraceful Occurrences In Neigh
borhood of Lost Creek.
Especial to The Herald.)

Especial to The Herald)
Richfield, Oct. 3.-Sevier county is
| having all kinds of trouble with white
cappers within the past few months.
The latest case is one which has just
/, come to light near Aurora, a small
hamlet eight miles north of this city.
On the 18th of last August Benjamin
Ainesworth, farmer living about two
miles uD Lost creek, was taken from
his home in the dead hour of night and
was severely beaten around the body
and on the face. The matter was kept
quiet until last week. thinking it
would take some definite shape and
that someone would make known the
parties interested. Last week several
parties were suspected, and County At
torney Mcdaniel was at once notified.
In all four young men of the neighbor
hood of Aurora were tried, but all sue
ceeded in being acquitted but Louis
Blood, who was found guilty and fined
$25 and costs.
The Ainesworths felt satisfied, and
started for home. 1t was late at night
when they reached their place, and
they all retired without even lighting
their lamp. Two of the men slept in
wagon near the barn, and toward
morning they were reused from their
sleep by the smell of smoke. They
looked out of the wagon, found the en-
tire place on fire and could distinctly
hear the sound of retreating horSemen.
The entire ranch, including hay, grain,
barn, house, wagons, harness, and, in
fact, everything, was destroyed. There
have not, as yet, been any arrests
made. but it is thought that within a
few days several parties of that local
ity will be gathered in. The affair has
sprung from case which was settled
in the district court about two months
ago, over a water suit. The entire
family, including an aged mother, is
left almost destitute.
There has been some light brought to
bear on the Monroe whitecapping case.
1t is now said that Samuel Baycock a
resident of Monroe, bought the young
men who were convicted of the white
Gaping, whisky, and was the first man
to suggest the outrage. He is too old
a man to take hand in such an affair,
but first talked the young men into
it, it is claimed. The only way it
leaked out was this: The young men
who were fined went to Mr.. HaYcock,
and as he was fairly well-to-do, asked
that he help them out with the pay
ment of their fines. This he refused to
do, and the young men told of all that
he had done, and how he talked them
into the dastardly act. Mr.. Haycock
left next morning for parts unknown.
He has relatives in Kane county. and
it is thought that he has gone to that
country to let the feeling against him
die down. 1t is thought that he will be
arrested and brought back to stand
trial. He is a very Well-to-do sheen
man, and left his wife and a large fam
lily of children.

Manager c. E. Allen of the Centennial
Eureka authorizes The Herald to deny the
statement made in an evening paper to
the effect that his company was making
tests on ore from its mill at the Eureka

without foundation and groundless.
Work has been resumed in the develop

BATTLE LAKE DISTRICT.
Utah Man Makes & Bid For the Fer
ris-Hagerty Mine.

Saratoga, Wyo., Oct. 3.-Yesterday,
Ferris & Hagerty shipped from their
mine in the Battle Lake copper district,
20 miles south of here, in the Grand
Encampment country, a 500-pound
piece of copper ore TO the TRANSMITS
sissippi exposition at Omaha The
specimen was the prettiest ever seen
in this section, and will surely open
the eyes of exposition visitors A prom
inent miner of this place, who recently
returned from the Battle Lake district,
says that camp is already on the boom,
and that not later than next spring
there will be a stampede to the copper
fields. Already hundreds of claims
have been staked off, and the rush is
still in progress. 1t is asserted that the
ore from half dozen or more mines,
on which work progressed during the
summer, runs much richer in copper
than does the ore from Doane's famous
copper mine, which has been in opera
ton for several years. The lowest re-
turn has been 81 per cent copper, while
the highest has been rs per cent The
Ferris Hagerty mine is said to be the
richest proposition in the country. The

The Rover Strike.

The news of the strike in the Rover,
as reported in yesterdays Herald, was
hailed with delight by mining men in
this city who are interested in Camp
Floyd properties Immediately north of
Mercur, and these are already discuss
ing the probability and possibility of
the extensions of the ore zones, the
opinion being largely expressed that
the vein extends north into the Eagle,
as we'll as property owned on the north
by Colonel E. A. Wall while the Seals
Mining company, whose group is sit
uated on the east of the Rover is also
fully satisfied that this discovery
should be cause for rejoicing with
the officers of the organization.
The correctness of the report of the
strike has been virtually corroborated
by a number of people, among the
number being James McHugh, who
came in from Mercur Monday night
The officers of the Rover company
are also well pleased, although Colonel
Heffron and his associates have bond
on the property, and an option on
large block of the stock, as previously
stated in these columns.
