Mayor RamSdel is again mayor OF
Lynn.
Two years ago he was elected by the
combined Peoples party, Democratic
and Citizens Reform party. He was
again nominated by reclamation by the
Democrats to succeed himself as mayor
of the busy, modern city, and was
again elected by a rousing majority
last month.
Mayor Ramsdelrs present high posi-
ton is the legitimate reward of his
ability and his fearlessness in defend
ing his opinions. He has never hest
tated to declare his convictions in pub
lie, nor has he been slow to espouse
the cause of the shoemakers and other
wage-earners. In 1894 he was candidate
of the Peoples party for congress A
hard worker, a conscientious official,
Mayor Ramsdell has more than once
been pushed to the limit of his
strength. At such times of extreme
nervous tension and overwork he has
saved himself from breaking down by
taking Paine's celery compound.
Mayor Ramsdells honest opinion of
this great remedy cannot be mistaken
by anyone who reads his letter that

A MINE OF CALoMEL.
A Great Joke Perpetrated On Some of
Salt Lakes Mining Experts.

A Salt Lake druggist, who has a
streak of dry humor in his compost
ton, has perpetrated quite joke on
some of the leading mining men of
this city, as well as on one of the prom
inent assay offices.
The druggist in question gave a go
between a piece of calomel, who took
it to the assay office in question to have
it tested for precious metals, the i'm
preston given out being that there
was a four-foot body of the stuff, and
that if il carried Well there was a for
tune in it.
This caused the widest excitement in
certain circles, and at the assay office
were made without disclosing the pres
ence of even d trace of any known
metal much to the establishment of
several mining men who were interested
in the outcome, and among the num-
Der there was an eminent metallurgist,
chemist and a noted geologist, and
they were all up a stump until it was
suggested by one of them that the
stuff be tasted. which was done by all,
the result being the same as if they all
had taken a stronge dose of physic
the severity of which was at once ap-
parent and now Quinine is in demand
to tone up the system after the effects
of the drug had passed away. as it was
afterwards found that the supposed ore
was nothing more than piece of calo-
mel.
As it is, the victims feel very cheap
over the affair, and they would not
have their names published for any
thing in the world, and, as for the
druggist and his accomplice, they are
having a barrel of fun over the success
of their scheme.

plaintiff RESTS.
Manager Hayward Testifies For the
Defendant Company.

The plaintiffs rested their case yes
terday forenoon in the suit of H. l..
Driver ct al. against the Salt Lake &
Ogden Gas & Electric Light company,
and for the defense the first witness
called was Manager Hayward of the de-
PENDANT company. who occupied the
stand the remainder of the day.
Mr. Hayward's testimony was to the
effect that the pipe line was in good
condition. and that the amount of the
leakage was small. In gas pipes car
rying natural gas long distance there
is always a small percentage of leak
age, and in this line it was even less
than in many other cases.
The witness also said that by the
terms of a supplemental contract with
Driver, the defendant was allowed 20
per cent for leakage.
The meters used to measure the
amount of natural gas delivered into
the pipe line were produced in court
and their construction and use explain
ed by Mr.. Hayward. who testified that
those by which the plaintiffs computed
the amount of gas delivered were de-

THE DRAGON IRON MINE.
Shipping Fluxing Ore to the Shelters
In Montana Camps.

In Montana Camps
The Tintic Iron company, which is
the owner of the Dragon iron mine at
Silver City, which largely supplies the
local shelters with fluxing material, is
sending a 100-ton lot of this ore to
Montana smelters with the hope of
finding a steady market there as in
former years, and if the experimental
shipment is successful it is expected
that consignments to the north will be
regula., as well as quite heavy.
The company is also shipping stead
lily to the valley smelters, and has
standing orders for a specified tonnage
OF this excellent f1uX.
The Herald is informed that, associ-
ated with the iron ore at the mine,
there are large deposits of clay which
has been found to be of fine quality
for the manufacture of fire brick. til
ing, sewer pipe and many other articles
IN this line, and it is more than likely
that this Will be utilized in the near
future, and that it viii add materially
to the revenue derived from this valu-
able producer, which is as good as a
gold mine, and the deposits are SEEM
ingly ineXhaustible.
On this property there is also a vein
Of nearly pure kaolin. which exists in
commercial quantities, and it is
claimed that it is equal if not superior,
to kaolin imported into this country
from China.
Attention is now being paid to this
deposit, and it is more than likely that
It will soon be utilized and put upon
the market.
The Dragon iron mine is quite land
mark in the Silver City end of Tintic
district, and there are many who are
inclined to the opinion that this iron
is the base of-the naturalization of the
famous mines in that locality, and this
is doubtless correct.

What the Iercur Miner Has to Say
of This Property.

What the ETercur Miner Has to Say
of This Property.
The Mercur Miner, in an article on the
Northern Light, says:
whatever may be the opinion of Salt

Northern Light stock, the people of
Mercur lave never lest faith in it, and
have been buying up all the stock they
could get hold of. To learn what the
condition of the mine was the editor
took a trip TO Lion hill this week. The
result is that his confidence in the

there is plenty of ore where they are

quantity of ore can be taken out, drifts
must be run. levels driven and some
track laid. 1t is easy to see that the
mistake made was in not having this
work done months ago. The ground
now being opened is the Mcqueen stope,
south drift, Golfer drift and the gold
level. This ground can only be reached
or the ore taken out only through the

Business was light in mining stock
ircles yesterday on change and the
register of transfers made was exceed
ingly light, business being confined to
four securities, Northern Light fur
nishing the excitement of the day, as
the brokers were out after this Sc
curity with their scalping knives, the
result being that declines were noted,
although the stock stood up well under
the assault, the most telling blow at its
firmness being the sale of 1000 shares
at 10 cents a share, seller 60 days,
which is equivalent to 20 cents with
the assessment paid.
At the opening Eagle received recoS-
milton Tor the first time for several
months, 500 shares changing hands at
? cents a share. In the listed stocks
but little activity was noticeable and
brokers were evidently short of or
ders, as former quotations We're with
difficulty maintained. Mammoth and
Mercur were practically unchanged,
while Sacramento was very strong at
the bidding figure of the day before,
holders standing out for better figures.
Chloride Point chrOnicled one sale
during the call and held its own as far
as quotations were concerned in good
and suffered slight declines in the bid
ding, while Dalton, while firm at the
bidding quotation of the day before,
advanced to cent in the asking.
Geyser-M Marion was considerably
stronger than during the previous call
and advanced from 50 to SO cents,
transfers being recorded at these fig
ureS.

follows:

Gentlemen-A previous experience
with Paine's celery compound, as re-
storer of exhausted energy, induced me
recently to take it again, the many
duties of the mayors office having
taxed my slight physical resources
greatly. 1 made no mistake In one
week 1 found my appetite improved,
the feeling of WEAKNESS disappearing,
and my nerves becoming steadier.
Paine's celery compound has thus been
a friend in time of need, and 1 like to
say a word for friend.
Truly yours,

In every city, in business houses,
banks, newspaper offices-wherever the
friction of worry is wearing out the
nerves and reducing the nutrition of
the body, Paines celery compound is
proving it's inestimable value. 1t in
variably insures sound sleep, and thus
gives the overstrung nerves their nat
ural rest; il corrects a cOnstipated
habit that so commonly goes with Sc
dentary occupations, and frees the
blood of poisonous humors, that at
some time or other develop into grave
disease.
