proper breathing Is so essential In
voice production, and the first require

writes Catharine E. Junkermann in
the Woman's Home Companion in the
first article of the series, 1.-THE Cultiva-
ton Of the Speaking Voice."
"Of course, no tone can be either
strong or pure if the lungs are cramped
so that the air can not find room. In
order to increase the size Of the lung
cavity, raise the chest and keep the
body well and strongly poised.

need Of care can not be too frequently
emphasized Besides the injury done
by the unwarmed air entering the
lungs, the mucous membrane is hard
ened by the saliva being dried up, and
the muscles Of the tongue and throat
grow stiff and less responsive. 1t is
comparatively easy to control ones
breathing when awake, but when
asleep the harm goes on. To remedy
this involves a slight discomfort, but
one can endure it patiently, looking to
the end. Cut court-plaster into little

France Makes q New Demand on China.

The French minister, M. Pichon, has
demanded mining concessions to the
value of 1900, 900 taels in the province
of Sze-Chuan, one of the largest in
China and traversed by the Yang-Tse-
Kiang, as indemnity for the recent i'm
prisonment of French missionary.
The demand is considered exorbitant.
The Chinese say that the existing con-
ditions of rebellion are not due to any
lack of energy on the part of the gov
eminent, which has frequently con-
suited the French minister regarding
the best means of obtaining the free
dom of the priest in question.

District Alive With Prospectors and
Mining Mens

William Collier. the well known Park
City miner, who. in company with
FRANK Hague, has been on two
months prospecting trip, which finally
landed them in the Argenta district.
Morgan county, WAS in the city yester
DAY and reports the greatest activity
imaginable in the district named. Men
are fiocking in from all directions. he
says, and numerous locations are being
made.

opment of which Montana capital re-
Gently took a hand, extensive new worl,

gong on in the old workings, two new
tunnels are being run to tap the big

The district is described by Mr.. Col
her as being one of great promise
There appears to be lots Of mineral. and
the mountains are so precipitous that
great depth can be obtained by tun-

Session Yesterday.
CHLORIDE POINT STRONG
DAISY ALSO IN MUCH BETTER
SHAPE.
Geyser-Marion Weaker = Mammoth
and South Swansea Suffer Revers-
es-Petro Takes Tumble, While
Grand Central Remained I'm
changed-The Closing Quotations.

Daly-West was the leading feature of
yesterdays transactions on the Salt
Lake mining exchange. Brokers had
plenty of orders to fill, and towards the
close, holders could easily command
$500 a share, while at the opening
some were willing to loosen up at
s13.14 1t is predicted the stock will go
much higher and a great many brok-
erS are confident il will not be long
until it will be selling at $40 a share.
The mine is showing up better con-
stantly and there is little doubt that
those who hold such views of the situa-
ton will have their opinion confirmed.
Chloride Point was in better shape.
The stock was fairly active and prices
ruled somewhat stronger. Daisy was
in better condition also and regained
some of it's lost ground. Manager Muir
ply was in from the mine yesterday
and reported the coming of a valuable
shipment in the next few days. These
assurances, coupled with the fact that
the property is gradually getting In
better physical condition, have had
strengthening effect on the market.
Geyser- Marion was not so strong
yesterday. The stock was plentiful and
brokers were in position to fill orders
with no trouble. Mammoth was weak
er, while South Swansea followed suit
and sold at 81. so share. Petro was in
demand, but went off considerably.
The stock opened at Sc and at the close
sold at S31a, with a tendency to go
still lower. Grand Central remained
unchanged. The bidding was low and
no stock changed hands.
The closing quotations were as fol-
lows:

FROM DIXIE LAND.
A Carload of Copper Bullion Will Ar
rive Next Week

w. W. Old, manager of the Dixie
mine at St George, has returned from
that property and was accompanied
home by DR.. ]. C. E. King, one of the
owners of the mine, who has spent a
couple of weeks at the property.
In speaking of the copper bonanza of
Washington county yesterday, Mr.. Old
stated that it was in a very healthful
physical condition and is looking bet
ter and better as development goes for
ward. The furnaces are working very
successfully and are turning out a fine
quality of copper bullion. The trouble
with the furnaces experienced some
time ago has been entirely eradicated
and when he and DR.. King came away
they were doing good service under the
direction of Superintendent Terhune.
A carload Of bullion will arrive in the
market within a week, that will run
from 80 to 50 per cent fine.
Mr.. Old says a movement is in con-
temptation and if carried out as
planned, the smelter will be moved over
20 st. George, where plenty of water
for all purposes is accessible. The mine
is in an arid section, the nearest water
being at least twelve miles away.
If this action is taken, a finely
equipped water jacket plant OF a ca
pacity of thirty tons a day will be put
up, and the ore hauled to it from the
mine. OF course if the pending deal
should be contaminated, the new own
ers might decide on some other action,
but if the option is not taken up, the
chances of St George getting the
smelter are extremely good.
Jack Griffith no longer has any in
terest in the property, his portion hav-
ing been absorbed entirely by Clarence
X Mccormick.

SALE OF BRISTOL PROPERTY.
The May Day and Great Eastern Said
to BE Sold

Ed F. Prudential, a brother of the
assessor at Phoebe, New, came up from
! the Bristol district, near there, yeSter-
day and brings the information that
Messrs. Dodge and Freeman, the Den
! Yer parties who took an option not long
ago on the May Day and Great East
ern properties from Addison Bybee,
have made a disposition of the property
to an eastern syndicate.
Experts have examined the ground
and according to what Mr.. Freuden-
thai has learned relative to the trans
action, they have made favorable
report and a payment has been made
on the purchase price, which he says
he has understood is something like
$3.50, 900.
The present developments are being
conducted under the direction of Tim
O'Connor, the well known mining engi-
neer of Boulder, Colo, who was en-
ployed for that work by Dodge and
Freeman. a force of twenty man is
employed there and the recent ship
ments of ore are 10 be followed up with
others.
Not long ago shipments came into
the local market and sold at an aver
age of 80 per cent copper.
Messrs. Dodge and Freeman were in
the city a few weeks ago in consulta-
! ton with a party of mining men. 1t
was announced at the time that a deal
was on of some kind, but nothing had
matured sufficiently then for the in
terested parties to feel justified in Civ
ing out any definite information.
Mr.. Prudential thinks the May Day
and Great Eastern are good properties
and will make goaG mines
Speaking of the Bristol district in
general, Mr.. Prudential says the out
look is exceedingly bright. A large
body of low grade silver ore has been
struck in the Oregon Short Line mine.
While there is a whole lot of high
grade ore from which values of $50
ounces silver and 80 per cent lead have
been received. Addison Bybee is one
of the owners of the property.
The Tip Top mine shows a fine de-
post of lead ore. AS much as "a per
cent lead and eighty ounces silver has
peen obtained in recent assays taken.
The developments at the Copper
Queen, under the direction of Cook &
Williams, are showing up good results.
The activity displayed in the dis
trict has been an inducement for pros
pectors to go in and a great many have
taken up claims and are doing work on
them.
The Comet district. at one time a
prosperous camp, but like many others
has been a scene of desolation for a
long time, is receiving some attention
again. 1t was marked for its silver
and lead ores in the earlier days The
coming of prosperity in Bristol has
peen an inducement for some to go into
TINS old camp and try to arouse it from
its long Slumber

TO INVADE COSTA RIGA,
An Alliance Is Formed Between Mic.
aragua and Honduras.

New Orleans, Aug. 3O.-On the au-
thority of an American just returned
here from Nicaragua, where he has
lived for the past seven years, it is
stated that there recently took place a
secret conference between President
Zelaya of Nicaragua and President Te-
rencia Sierra of Honduras, the purpose
of which was to effect an offensive al
lance between those two countries, for
an invasion of Costa Rica.
The conference took place at Anal
pala, Honduras, the chief seaport on
the Pacific side, and it is stated that
war between the allies and Costa Ric-
ans is bound to eventuate. The casus
belli is contained in the fact that Me
aragua is intent upon regaining from
Costa Rica the province of Guanacaste,
the boundary line between Costa Rica
and Nicaragua, and which is adjacent
TO the proposed route of the Nicar-
aguan canal.
This province formerly belonged to
Nicaragua, but was wrested from the
latter country in the last struggle with
Costa Rica. 1t is likewise stated that
$50, 900 in gold has been shipped to
Hamburg, and that the father in law
of President Zelaya is now in Belgium,
for the purpose of buying up arms for
the allied forces: also that s25 900 in
gold has been shipped to Zelaya's
agents in New York, for the same pur-
nose.

WHY THE DEAL FAILED.
Mr.. Cunningham Wanted Mammoth
Mill Under Certain Conditions.


Especial Correspondence
Mammoth, Aug. 30.-Casey Cunning
ham, son of J. A Cunningham and CO.
partner in the new East Tintic rail-
way, says that a wrong impression mas
gone out regarding his father in con-
nection with the purchase of the Mann
moth mill Mr. Cunningham says that
there has been no difference between
his father and Samuel Mcintyre re-
garding the price of the mill, because
when his father approached Mr.. NC
Intyre and asked him to set figure,
the sum named was perfectly salts
factory, and MIR. Cunningham so ex-
pressed himself, but the sticking point
arose over the ores that were 20 come
down. AS Casey Cunningham said, his
father did not want the mill if Mr.. Nc
Intyre intended shipping all the prod
uct of the mine, and, to insure secur-
ing the shipping or smelling product
Mr.. Cunningham had agreed TO enter
into a contract to pay the Mammoth
company 80 cents III excess of the samp-
lerS returns on each and every ton or
smelling ore, so as to obtain the en-
tire output of the mine, but for some
reason the deal was not made
Touching on the affairs of the East
Tintic railway, Mr.. Cunningham IN
formed the writer that the company
had purchased new Shea engine some
what similar in construction and prin-
ciple to the one in use, but more pow
erful, having also three trucks. He
could NOT say as to any project being on
foot regarding the immediate extension
of the road He believed it was to
have been done some time ago, out
some complications arose.

More About the Hubernite Discover
les Near Osceola, Nevada.


E. w. Clay, we'll known mining
man of Osceola, New, arrived in the
city yesterday, to attend to business
matters.
Mr. Clay says the discovery of huber
mite in that section is very important,
and indications look favorable for the
opening up of very lively camp in
the vicinity of the find. which is To-
Gated about fourteen miles distant from
Osceela.
Mr.. Clay has secured considerable
data relative to the uses of hubernite.
and has discovered that it has COM
merciaI value of something like $3.50
a ton. and market is found for it
wherever heavy firearms and armor
plates are manufactured 1t is used IN
tenpering steel, and no other element,
Mr.. Clay says, seems to take the place
Of it Cor such purposes
Deposits of the mineral are rare In
this country, and it is doubtful, so far
IS can be learned, if it is found in any
other portion of the United States: IL
has been discovered in one part OF
Mexico.
Mr.. Clay says the deposits OF the
mineral near Osceola appear TO De
enormous, and parties nave gone IN
