MUSIC AT THE EXPOSITION.
Famous Innes Band Engaged to Play for
Six Weeks at Omaha

Six Weeks at Omaha.
Omaha, Sept. 1I.-lnnes' famous
New York city concert band has been
engaged to play ut the Transmissis-
sippi Exposition daily from September
25th to October 31st This band is one
of the most successful musical orgaDi-
zations in the country to-day. Freder-
lex \. Innes. the conductor. first made
reputation as trombone player.
When he took up the trombone 1t was
known solely as an instrument of per-
cussion, and he astonished the world
by demonstrating its adapiability to
solo playing. capable of finely express
ing all phases of passion. In fact, he
was the discoverer of trombone music,
the originator of the triple B Hat tuba
which he uses. When he organized his
band he gave up trombone playing.
and now he perslstcntly refuses to
play except an occasional number at
one of his own band concerts or in
compliment to some distinguished
gathering of friends. He Just planted
his flag on the mountain. like Excel
slor, and came down again to begin
climbing another ladder to fame.
Professor Innes attributes much of
his success as band leader to the at
tention and care he gives TO the max
ing of programs. He has been criti-
cised for playing music too classical
for the lay mind, and in reply he points
10 the large crowds that attend his
concerts wherever they are given. He
says the details or his program are
his first concern after he closes the
contrnct for n concert. He studies not
only the people, but the circumstances
under which the concert Is to be given
and aims TO make a program to fit.
with some special numbers on 1t which
may he particularly appropriate. His
''children's day" concerts have proved
a very successful feature of his en-
gagements. The merriment of children
makes all hearts glad. and the chill
dren's program pleases the grown pco-
pie as well rs the little folks In addi-
tion 10 the music. which is written
especially for children, chorus of chill
dren's voices is frequently used. Pro-
fessor Innes has himself written sew
eral pieces of music for his .children's
day concerts which delight the little
people in much the same way as the
simple little stories of their favorite
authors.

PROSPECTS FOR BEER.
Prohibition States Are Turning to
Local Option.

Atlanta City, N. J., June 16.-The
brewers association of the United
States today elected the following Of
ficers for the ensuing year:
President, William G. Berger, Phila-
delphia; vice presidents, Rudolf Brand,
Chicago, and Ira Danneburg, New
York; treasurer, William G. Ringler,
New York; secretary, Richard Katzen-
mayer, New York; manager of literary
bureau, GalluS Thoman.
Detroit was selected as the next place
of meeting. The permanent vigilance
committee communicated its views to
the convention upon the question of
prohibition.
The report expressed the belief that
there exists in the prohibition states of
South Dakota, Iowa and Kansas, a
growing sentiment in favor of local
option laws. The outlook, the report
says, is favorable to legislation of this
character at an early day. There is
evidence in many states of a tendency
to enact laws designed to harass and
interfere with the brewing industry in
the use of materials and the utilization
of it's products. However, the trade
has been successful in checking such
legislation. The committee declares
that the dispensary law of South
Carolina is a failure, while the rates
of brewers license of Pennsylvania are
condemned as excessive and burden
some.

a gentleman who is just in from De
Lamar, New, states that several i'm
portant strikes have been made of late
in the Magnolia of that place, and that
this promises to open out into one of
the richest gold mines in this inter-
mountain region.
The Magnolia was the first gold dis
covery to be made in Ferguson district,
ard was the first mine in the camp
from which a shipment of high grade
ore was made to this city. The discov-
cry of the Magnolia was quite acct
DENTAL and is an illustration of the
element of chance that ofttimes creeps
into the life of the prospector and
miner
Ferguson district was formerly
known as a silver camp, the first dis
coVerieS in this line being made sew
eral years ago by the Ferguson broth
erS and their associates. who made the
initial silver find in little gulch but
d short distance from what is now
known as the Magnolia mine. In pros
pecting in this new region the boys
had nothing but an old monkey wrench
with which to break the groupings and
float, and on this account the silver
discovery was named the Monkey
Wrench, and for a long time the I'M
organized district went by that name.
The boys began the development of
the Monkey Wrench, in which there
was fine showing of silver, never
dreaming that gold was the predomi-
mating metal of the camp. But one
morning, however, one of the Fergu-
son boys started out to find a horse
that had strayed from camp, and while
circling the low hills short distance
away, found some gold float. Care

ledge in a saddle between the two high
est elevations OF the foothill and it
was not long before it was known in
the mining world that a new gold
camp had been found, and within a
very brief time prospectors by the
score began TO flock into that region,
and a few weeks after the April Fool
was located by Frank Wilson and his
associates, who also located what is
now the great De Lamar mine.
The Magnolia was worked with in
different success for several years but
recently it has been scientifically de-
veloped and is showing up wonderfully
well; ard The Herald's informant
states that in the lower WORKINGS of
the property fine body of mineral
has been disclosed. which goes all of
$1,000 to the ton in the precious metals,
while in. other portions of the mine
there are large bodies of ore which will
assay from $40 to $50 to the ton.
The mine is largely owned by T. r. j
Jones of this city and ]. Eisenmann of
Phoebe, and 1t is stated that the man
agement, in future shipments, will mix
the low grade rock with the high
grade stuff. bringing the consignments
TO a certain grade, so that in the
transportation OF the ore to the rail-
road there viii be no temptation to
substitute sacks of an inferior mineral
for the sacks of rich ore

Mokes Movement to Keep Wildcats
Out of the Exchange Pit.
The governing board of the mining
exchange held an important meeting
yesterday and transacted business cal
culated to purge the pit of the ex-
change from all semblance of wash
sales" or undetermined business. To
begin with, the caller was further in
structed as TO his duties, and East
Golden Gate was stricken from the
list.
A resolution was then adopted, pro-
hibiting the call of only such unlisted
stocks as should first be approved of
by the governing board, the intention
being to keep all wildcats from frisk-
ing about in the pit the list approved
so far being as follows, to which adj
ditionS VIII be made from time to time:
Buckeye, Chloride Point, Dalton,
Dexter, Eagle, Emerald, Homestake,
Little PittsbUrg, Omaha, Richmond &
Anaconda. Swansea, South Swansea,
Sunbeam, Alice, Opehongo, Lower
Mammoth Valeo, Golden Eagle, Nor
gan (of Park City, Lucky Bill, Creole,
Tetro, Martha Washington, Gold Dust,
Century, Rabbits Foot and May Day
From time to time, as it is desired to
call other unlisted stocks, the govern
ing board will pass on applications for
the same, and it is more than likely
that number of other valuable mines
and prospects will be added TO the list.

THE MERCUR MINE.
Work In the Matte Improving the
Sacramento.

Mercur, June 16.-No new strikes are
being made in the Mercur, but large
bodies of ore are being developed, the
extent of which has hitherto been I'M
suspected. Mention has frequently
been made of the third vein,' and it
has been tapped from various points,
showing that it is continuous through
out the ground.
There are, of course, places where
the vein carries little or no values. but
the formation is similar and it takes
men well acquainted with the ore to
tell the difference, and in some cases
it can only be determined by assay. In
the prospecting work it has been found
that there is about 16 to 20 feet of good
milling ore in the lower vein, and sew
eral feet more that carries fair values.
1t is the intention to open up this vein
by an incline from the Resolute ground
and to follow the veins from the sew
eral levels, and work will probably be
commenced on. the new incline before
many days. The explorations in this
part of the mine have reached down to
the silver ledge" without any great
change being found In fact, the third
vein lies right on the silver ledge, al
though no traces of gold are found in
the ore. Whether the same conditions
will be found below the silver ledge
will have to be left to timex and future
developments. as none of the exper-
fenced miners will even venture an
opinion on the matter.
There is no question but that the
Golden Gate is working on the same
formation, and it has been a puzzle to
many why it is that the character of

Deer Trail Contracts.

Hon. o. j. Salisbury of this city will
let contracts between this date and
the 18th of this month for the running
of 500-foot tunnel and the erection of
boarding house and mine buildings at
the Deer Trail mine, a few miles south
of Marysvale. This tunnel will be
started at vertical depth of 13S feet
below the lowest opening in the Deer
Trail, the object of it's construction be-
ing to facilitate the extraction of the
bodies of mineral exposed in the mine
below the level of the present openings
of exit, and when the connection is
made it is believed that this old bo-
nanza Will duplicate its past record as
a wealth producer.
Work is also being pushed in the
operation of the Crystal, not far from
the Deer Trail. In the Crystal a body
of fine ore. four feet thick, has been
uncovered of late. the mineral being of
higher grade in silver and lead than
has ever before been taken from the
mine, and is an excellent milling prod
uct and will be treated on the ground
Some of the eastern directors of the
Crystal company are expected to ar
rive in Salt Lake some time this
month, when it is more than likely
that the little mill on this property
will be replaced with stamps.
