NO USE FOR COMBINES.
Captain De Lamar Gust a Plain
Miner" Operating For Himself.


Miner" Operating For Himself.
Since his arrival in the city from
New York, Sunday night, Captain De
Lamar has been a very busy man.
During his several months absence in
Eurore, business matters which require
his personal attention have accumu-
lated to such an extent that several
days of his time will be required to
straighten them out; consequently, he
had nothing in the way of news re-
garding his Utah and Nevada proper
ties to communicate at this time.
Asked if he had interested himself in
any way in the great copper combine,
or whether he had any notion of in
vesting in copper properties, the gen.
tieinan said he had not. He had a
poor opinion of the big combinations
being organized these days and thought
their worth and influence were great
~ exaggerated. He was Just a plain
miner he said, working in his chosen
field for what there was in it and was
not at all concerned in the operations
of modern trusts and combinations.
The gentleman viii leave for tour
of inspection TO the properties in which
he is interested in a day or two and
expects to be in Utah for ten DAYS or
TWO weeks yet, when he Will leave for
De Lamar, New.

BUFFALO HUME, HEARD FROM
Trip Made Down the Salmon River In
Forty Hours-A Fine Country.

A letter has been received at Salmon
City Ida. from the party who left that
| place on April for the Buffalo Hump
country in a flatboat They report a
very successful trip, having shot all
the rapids without any difficulty and
landed at Malleck mining camp. twelve
miles south of the Hump, on the Sal
mon river. in forty hous' running time.
1t appears that the run from Shoup
down is not near so difficult to navigate
as was anticipated, and for parties who
are DESTROYS of arriving early at the
new bonanza camp this route affords
the earliest and readiest and cheapest
route Of access. The river is carving
good stage of water for boating and
the run ought to be made easily in
three days, for the next six weeks,
when the water will be high and swift
for two or three weeks, then after that
il Will be in fine condition for the bal
ance of the season.
The party consisted of four men.
They stopped three DAYS on the way
down, to hunt and fish. and report
plenty of game and passing through a
fine mineral country. They confirm the
newspaper reports of the large vein of
free gold ore at Malleck, and state the
ground is bare of snow for two or three
miles back from the river on the south
exposures, giving ample chance to
prospect on the southeast strike of the
Buffalo Hump belt. Mr.. Harry Gulicke.

on his way back, and is expected to ar

A ROUGH VOYAGE.
Antelope Islanders Have a Stormy
Night on the Lake.

r. 3. Woolley, NJ. ]. Kelly and F. H.
Vahrencamp returned to the city yes
terday from Antelope island, where
they have been engaged in developing
the claims owned by c. NJ. Freed and
others. The gentlemen had a rough
voyage across the waters of the lake.
They left the island Sunday noon. The
wind came up after they had gotten
some distance from land, and they had
a difficult time in managing their craft,
which was a rowboat. The waves were
so heavy that little Roadway could be
made, and many times they came near
being SPILLED" out into the briny deep.
Night overlook the voyagers, and they
were still a long distance from land;
the storm kept up and they labored
with the elements until early morn,
when they effected a landing near
Saltair beach.
The gentlemen will return in few
days to the island with raft laden
with lumber and provisions. Mr.. Wool
ley is pleased with the outlook on the
island, and is of the opinion some big
mines will be found over there.

LIMIT OF SPEED BY STEAM.
The Nerves of the Engineer VIII FIX
the Boundary Line-Shad-
Ows Ahead.

An old locomotive engineer, in reply
to the statement that $50 miles an hour
was one of the possibilities of future
travel, says that they may build the
engines for n 150-mile gait, but they
cant build the engineers. The strain
on the nerves at very high speeds is
something terrific, and anything over
50 miles an hour is q pace which lars
every nerve in the body. The average
locomotive man is apt to break down
under the influence of many spurts at
even 65 miles an hour. After such an
ordeal he is completely unhinged, Jump
ing when he hears unexpected noises,
like hysterical woman. BY those who
have passed through this experience
it is believed that the strain comes
mainly through the sight. The engi-
neer has to look straight ahead, but at
the same time, as it has been expressed,
"he sees things whizzing past on both
sides out of the tail of his eye, and it is
as If something had hold of the optic
nerve and was pulling it out like
rubber band" Shadows are the terror
Of the locomotive engineer. A bird may
Hit across the headlight and throw a
shadow down the track us big as box
car. Of course, it is gone in m instant,
but in just that heartbeat The nerves
of the engineer have been r::>n shock
that they may not recover rom in n
week. The new electric headlights are
said to be the worst kind c. sIook pro-
ducers. They cast such sharp shadows
that bug moving over the glass will
give the engineer the impression of a
cow lying just in front of the pilot. AT
very high speeds such an experience
conJures up visions of sudden death and
gives sledge-hammer blow to every
nerve center in the body of the engineer.
Old engineers say that the speed of
1OC miles an hour is beyond the sus-
tanned endurance of the man at the
lever, and with a speed of $50 miles
the human machine would go mad in
week.
