Early in the season we
laid in supply of these cell
ebrated Refrigerators which
we considered would be suf-
hcient to carry us through
the entire season; they have,
however, met with such uni
versal favor that we have
twice since been forced to
duplicate our orders. This
most remarkable sale is
easily explained - as the
North Star" is constructed
with a view of meeting all
requirements--even to the
minutest details necessary
to make an absolutely per-
feet Refrigerator, and our
guarantee that EVERY
ONE will be EXACTLY As REP

down from Park City to organize two
stock companies for the development of
promising mining ground near the rich
old camp. The first proposition is a
group of eight claims, known as the
Clarissa, on which he has a lease and
bond. The Clarissa group lies between
the Valeo and the Superior in the new
gold and copper belt. .
The basis of the second Incorporation
is the Bermuda group of six patented
claims, back of Treasure hill, almost
adjacent to and running parallel with
the great Silver King
Mr.. Paradise controls a half interest
in the Bermuda group.
Relative to the publication in con-
temporary of a statement attributed to
him to the effect that Thomas Kearns
was associated with Harry Deming in
securing control of the Valeo stock, Mr..
Paradise denies that he ever said. any
thing to any person to warrant such
an assumption. Mr.. Paradise sold his
option on the Valeo shares to Harry
Deming of the First National bank,
Park City, but he has no means of
knowing who, if anybody, is associated
with Mr.. Deming in the deal. The an
nual meeting of the Valeo stockhold-
ers will be held early in October, and
not until then will it be definitely
known who is in control. A systematic
plan for the energetic development OF
the Valeo, Mr.. Paradise says, is being
put into execution.

sANPETE ExCURsIoNIsTs
Took a Trip Over the Valley Railroad
to Manti and the Lake.

Nephi, Aug. 24.-The Sunday school
excursion over the Sanpete valley
railroad to Manti and Funk's lake that
left here yesterday morning, returned
shortly before 9 o'clock last night. The
train contained the longest string of
passengers ever pulled over that road,
consisting of nine coaches, handsome
ly decorated with bunting and BAN
ners, with every inch of space occu-
pied inside and upon the platforms.
There were 500 tickets sold, and at least
100 persons were unable to procure
tickets, who managed, however, to
crowd aboard. The excursioniSts
stopped over at Manti for three hours
and upwards of 600 of those from here
who had a recommend, made their way
into the temple, where impressive ex-
ercises were held under the direction
Of President McAllister and other To-
cal officials.
After the conclusion of the services
the train pulled out for the lake, where
the crowd scattered and INDUCED in
boating, bathing and picnicking under
the tall poplars that line the grassy
shore of this pleasant mountain re-
treat.
The cornet band from this city was
a feature of the occasion, and the can
yons echoed with music and the cheers
of children as the long train toiled
through the mountain passes.

The Representation Dividend.

The directory of the Geyser- Marion
company held a meeting yesterday
morning and declared dividend of 2
cents a share, or $4,000, payable on the
1st day of September, the transfer
books of the company closing today at
4 p. M, to be reopened on Sept. 2.
The posting of this dividend was
somewhat of a surprise to many of
the stockholders of the association. as
the belief was general that the pay
ment for this month would be passed
However, the action of the company in
this respect gives general satisfaction,
and the prospect for velvet money"
and the fact that the property is in
excellent condition, while the mill is
running nicely and at an increased ca
pacity, causes the stakeholder to en-
terrain bright hopes for the future, as
far as this Mercur dividend-payer is
concerned.
With the disbursement of this divi-
dend the company will have paid out
the handsome sum of $96,UUU since the
consolidation of the Geyser and Marion
properties and it is safe to predict that
it will duplicate this record in the fu-
tire

Coalville Has Lost a Good Woman
Impressive Services.

Coalviile, Aug. 24.-The funeral SER
vices of the late Mrs. Mary Fisher were
held here today in the Summit stake
tabernacle. President w. w. Cuff and
Elder Charles A. Calls were the speak
erS.
She was devoted and faithful wife

always cheerful, and ambitious far be-
yond her natural strength
She was born at Mill Creek, Salt
Lake county, Aug. 2, 1852, being just 46
years and 10 days old at the time of
her death. She leaves an only child,
a son, just returned from a mission to
the southern states, who was the idol
and joy of her life, and who is now
bowed down with sorrow and remorse,
and who, with her husband, Joseph A.
Fisher three brothers and two sisters,
sadly mourn the great loss.
The funeral was well attended, her
friends, whose name is legion, coming
from ali parts of this county, Salt
Lake, Utah, Morgan and Weber coun-
ties.
By special request, Mrs. ]. A. Smith
rendered, between the addresses, the
solo, "Oh, My Father" in very sweet
and touching tones, which caused, by
its solemn and sacred sentiment, the
tears of many to swell in the eyes of
the large congregation.
The immediate cause of her demise
was, as has been stated before in The
Herald, humorous growth in the stom-
ach. She was taken to the Hosmer
hospital at Salt Lake last week and
was operated upon Saturday morning
last and died the following day, Sun
day at O'clock

Leesburg, Ida, who is in that section
to witness the starting up of the Italian
mill. after q close-doWn of several
months. writes that the plant is operat-
Ing in most satisfactory manner. and
that about IS tons of rock are being
treated daily, with a recovery Of rs per
cent of the assay values of the ore,
which carries from $40 to SIS in gold to
the ton.
The mineral being treated comes
from what is termed the Lincoln dump,
on which there is in the neighborhood
OF 1000 tons stored ready for treatment,
While in the mine about 5000 tons of
ore of tie same character and value
are blocked out ready for extraction
and milling.
The stamp mill is now being run by
water power, and this power will be
utilized all winter, as a pipe line has
been put in, and the company is now
IN possession of its own water rights,
which will do away with the expense of
operating with steam, while the power
is steady and regular.
Work is also being pushed in the de-
VelOpment of the Garretson group, now
embraced in the holdings of the COM
pany, as previously stated in these col
umns, and on one of the claims of this
group an S0foot tunnel has been driven
in a three-foot body of ore which will
carry average values Of $40 to the ton
in gold, the mineral being good milling
in quality, as over three-fourths of it's
gold contents can be saved on the
plates, while a high extraction of the
values in the tailings can be made by
the employment of the cyanide process
Of reduction.
The officers of the Italian company
are well pleased over the outlook for
the property, and are satisfied that ere
long it will rank as a paying PROPOSE
ton.

A BIG PLACER DEAL.
An Ogden Man Unidentified With the
ENTERPRISE.

An important mining deal has been
consummated in Oregon, whereby a
strong mining combination secures
control of large tract of very rich
placer ground. The purchasers, says
the Boise Statesman, are NJ. Z. Kirkpat-
rick of Bannock, Mont; j. S. F.
Batchen of Boise and L. E. Bedford of
ogden, who have sufficient financial
backing to establish there one of the
largest placer mining enterprises in the
northwest.
The property is situated near Gran
tie, Grant county, Oregon, and COM
prises 1,500 acres. The consideration is
not given out. but it is understood to
be in the neighborhood of $3.50. 900.
These placers. about 16 miles of con-
tiguous claims, are fed by some of Ore
CONS best quartz deposits. Near the
placers are the Bonanza, which sold
not long ago for $50, 600; the Red Boy.
for which 100000 was offered. and
other big quartz mines. Below the tract
is the famous Robinsonville placer dis
trict.
The ground purchased by Mr.. Kirk
patrick and his associates is virgin ter
ritory, and has not been worked owing
to the fact that it is too level to permit
of proper dumps for sluicing. Careful
tests show that the ground prospects
from the grass roots and the bedrock is
exceedingly rich.
It is the intention of the buyers to
place dredges on the property as soon
as practicable, and work it for all it is
worth.
Mr. Kirkpatrick is well known II, this
section, having been connected wi the
of the big dredging enter
prise in the basin. Mr.. Kirkpatrick is
now in Boise.
