THE SALT PALACE ASSURED
COMMITTEE HAS OVERCOME THE
DIFFICULTIES.
How and of What the Place viii Be
Constructed = Great Efficacy of
Spraying Fluids.

That Salt Lake City will have a salt
palace next summer is now an assured
fact. 1t all depended on the success
of the experiments of the committee ap-
pointed to devise a method by which
the structure of salt could be rem
dered waterproof, fireproof and such
that the salt would not melt The
greatest difficulty was to devise some
means to prevent the melting of the
salt, and this the committee hasbeen
successful in doing, as well as in the
other requirements mentioned to make
the palace a success.
The committee, which has been for
some time conducting experiments at
the expense of the members, met yes
friday afternoon in the Office of the In
land Crystal Salt company. Samples
of the material were exhibited, and the
method of treatment discussed. The
purpose is to erect the building of
rough lumber and then line it outside
and inside with wood like a, veneering,
and over the wood spread sacking or
mating, then spray the mating CO.
piously by means of q, force pump with
a liquid composed of white lead, oil
and white Varnish, and on this the salt
is spread, probably about half an inch

rock, and does not melt, owing to the
virtue of the spraying fluid. Artistic
designs of everything imaginable and
of all colors will be fashioned from
salt by placing models of the things to
be produced in strong brine, which Will
crystalze around the models and form
the most perfect and beautiful decora-
tons it is possible to conceive. The
salt palace, inside and outside, will be
decorated in that way and when the
electric lights are turned on it will
produce a scene of briIhancy beyond
the imagination of the most extrava-
giant. Crystals of salt produce, next to
diamonds, the most sparkling brilliancy
of any substance known. The outside
of the palace and other exposed por-
tons will be sprayed with formalda-
hyde, which renders the salt impervious
to rain and also makes the structure
fireproof. The discovery of the two
spraying solutions is the vital point in
the theory,of construction, which makes
it possible to carry out the project. The
committee will make it's formal report
on Monday, and d general meeting will
be held on Wednesday.

TWO Dividends Declared.

Faithful to the day the Mercur COM
pany toed the mark yesterday and de-
clared its regular monthly dividend of
1211A cents a share. or $4,000, payable
on the goth of the present month to
stockholders of record on the evening
of the 9th, and the shareholders of the
company, when they pocket the crisp
check distributed by the company on
the day of payment, can well call this
a Christmas dividend, the payment of
which will bring the total paid by the
company in velvet" money up to the
handsome sum of $1,241, 900.
The directors of the Bullion Beck
Mining company also held a meeting
yesterday and declared dividend of
10 cents a share, Of $4,000, payable on
the 18th, thus adding to its dividend
credits, which is now crowding the two
million and q half mark.
The Silver King paid its regular
$37, 500 dividend yesterday, the Swansea
dropped a Wad amounting to $4,000,
while the Grand Central delighted it's
stockholders with its regular dividend
of $751; $50, so that it will be seen this
has been a prosperous month so far
with the mines of Utah.

Gold Dust Will Resume.

The Herald is informed that tomor-
row the Gold Dust Mining company
will resume work in the extensive de-
velopment of its valuable Mercur prop
erty, the intention being to begin OPP
erations in the old workings on the up
per vein, where large bodies Of good
milling ore have already been exposed
ore carrying values ranging from so
cents, S., IS and $40 and even up to $50,
to the ton in gold arrangements hav-
ing been perfected for the extension of
the drift further into the hill on this
zone of mineral, while the shaft will be
deepened to the second vein or belt, the
uncovering of which will doubtless give
the property a standing in the camp as
milling proposition, the probability
being that by spring the mine will be
embellished with reduction works.
1t is learned that the company is in
excellent shape, financially, and it is
safe to say that the coming year will
see another paying mine in the great
gold camp of Mercur in the property
of the Gold Dust company.

retiring, and the vacancy being filled
by Judge M. L. Ritchie.
John Firth of Goshen. the veteran
miner, who recently sold the South
Mammoth claim to J. 3. Evans of the
Lower Mammoth company, was in the
city yesterday on another mining deal.
The bill of lading for the first ship
ment of ore from the new strike in the
Northern Light was received by the
company yesterday, and the consiSn-
ment should be on the market by Tues
day or Wednesday,.
A wagon road is being graded from
Silver City to the Sea Swan mine, for
merly known as the West Swansea.
The company will soon order a small
steam hoist for the mine, it being the
intention of the company to develop
the property in a thorough manner.
S. w. Morrison, president of the Nc
hlnley Mining company, accompanied
by G. S. Kinney, one of the heavy
stockholders of the association, viii go
cut to Lion hill the first of this week
for the purpose of letting the contract
for the sinking of a double-compart-
valuable ground, which adjoins the
Northern Light mine on the west.
c. M. Mcintyre of Mercur, who is
pushing work in the development of
the independence, not far from the old
Baltic mine, on the west dip, in Ophir
district, informs The Herald that in
sinking for the gold zone of that re-
gion, he encountered a blind silver
vein, which is two feet in width and
Oo1>
forty to 500 ounces silver and a few
dollars in gold to the ton. A station
is being cut in the shaft, and the vein
will be drifted upon in order to deter
mine its extent and value, the indica-
lions for the opening of a big producer
being very f1attering.
G. S. Kinney has returned from Tin
tic district, where he has been directing
operations in the development of the
company, of which he is president. The
Gold Treasure group is located in the
south end of the district, not far from
the Joe Bowers and Buckeye mines,
and in it's exploration a double-com-
partment shaft is being sunk to catch
the vein on it's dip. This shaft has al
ready reached a depth of sixty feet, and
the management is sanguine that the
day is not far off when another pro-
ducing mine is added to the bonanza

Strike In the Amelia.

]. H. Dupaix, writing to George
Moore from Minersville, states that in
the operation of the Amelia mine in
Star district fine body of high grade
ore had been encountered, after push
ing the workings through a lime horse.
The ore is free-milling proposition,
and goes as high as 500 ounces in sill
yer to the ton and a few dollars in
gold.
Mr.. Moore is interested with Mr.. Du-
paix in a lease on the Amelia, from
which ore for milling is being hauled
to Minersville, where Mr.. Dupaix has
his little Monte Cristo stamp mill about
ready for work, it being the intention
to keep the plant in continuous opera
ton as long as possible this winter,
while next summer it is expected to
give a good account of itself.
Years ago Mr.. DupaiX met with I'M
qualified success with the Amelia mine
and his stamp mill, and he is sanguine
that he will duplicate if not improve
upon all former records.
