PRESIDENT SMITH.

President Joseph F. Smith took up
the subject of tithing, saying that the
church was called upon very fire.
quently to pay the expenses of the
families of elders who were on mis-
sions and that the church paid almost
all the travelling expenses of all the
elders who went out into the mission
airy field. This amounted to very
large sum annually and all of it must
come from the people in the form of
tithing. He urged honesty in tithing,
for he said that even though the bishop
might not see through the dishonest
return, the Lord would know, and he
would mete out justice accordingly.
Obedience to the law is, he said, the
greatest thing about the law. Obedi-
ence to God is the great principle to
be adhered to. Not blind obedience,
but obedience understanding the bene-
fit both to self and to the world, and
with full knowledge of the good 1t
would do.
In concluding, President Smith be-
gan to speak of the evil effects of dis
obeying counsel, but after a few sem
fences he checked himself, saying.
But my time is up, L see, and I'm
glad it is, or 1 might say something
which would be unwise.''
After the hymn, Our God, We Raise
to Thee" by the choir and the congre-
cation, President Lorenzo Snow pro-
nounced the benediction and the con-
ference adjourned for six months.

APOSTLE RICHARDS.

Apostle Franklin d. Richards spoke
of the evils of skepticism and agnosu-
cism, pointing out the dangers which
lay in such things. Then he turned to
the question of marriage and urged all
the young men to marry early in life,
not to wait until they had saved up their
money and had a competence. Let the
future take care of itself, he said, for
often to defer marriage ny reason Of
poverty or lack of means meant to put
it off for years. He touched briefly
on early days at Nauvoo. Ills, and the
building of the temple there. He i'm
pressed upon the people the necessity
of the payment of tithing. If every
one were regular in the payment OF
their tithing, he said, the church would
be supported easily, without the fire.
quent appeals for contributions which
were now necessary.
The temple choir sang the hymn. "a
Beautiful City" the solo being render
ed by Mrs. Maggie Swan Hull.
Apostle Brigham Young followed in
a similar vein to Apostle Richards,
urging all members of the church to
faithfully pay their tithing and to pay
it honestly, and faithfully, and I'M
grudgingly. He announced the i'm
portance of belief in the principle OF
revelation, reading from the Doctrine
and Covenants in support of what he
said.
President Lorenzo Snow occupied a
few moments Just at the close of the
session He spoke of the influence of
public opinion as a means of restraint
from temptation, and the dangers of
allowing oneself to yield to temptation,
even in small matters.
The anthem, Let the Mountains
Shout for JOY" was given by the choir
and the benediction was pronounced by
Elder Joseph w. McMurrin.

MINING NOTES.

The Justice mine, near Keller, has a
good body of ore.
The largest mining plant in Oregon,
the Cougar 250-ton cyanide plant at
Sumpter, is in operation.
On the rich Keep Cool near Lake
view, Pend d'Oreille, four feet of clean
ore has been opened on the cross-cut.
On the rich American Flag in the
Methow district of Okanogan county,
H. G. Phillips says the ore is full of
tellurides.
Boston, Philadelphia and Michigan
capitalists have organized the Oneida
Copper Company, and have taken over
the Delaware mine and 80 square miles
of territory in Keweenaw county.
Senator George Turner is said to be
backing an Idaho coal company. The
property is near Orc Elmo, Idaho
Nineteen hundred acres are located
$4,000 capital raised to open up mine
At Mullan, Idaho, Clark & McHugh
have commenced work on the Midnight,
starting five men to work on tunnel
about the middle of last week.
The Amalgamated company of Butte
is going right along with improvements
not only in the mines belonging to it,
but in its smelters and refineries.
Seymour H. Ball, manager of the
Iconoclast Mining Company, writes
from Keller as follows: "The Icono-
clast is cutting into stringers of ore
assaying $50 and sos per ton in copper
and gold. The tunnel is in lat feet
and the contractors are making good
Roadway. 1t is going to make a mine"
The Iconoclast is better known as the
| Tenas George mine. 1t was the pros
peCt which he watched and guarded for
| q years, until the opening of the res
eryation enabled him to take it. Prom
| inent Seattle men are interested in the
mine now and West side capital is de-
veloping it. Only a limited portion of
the stock is held in Spokane. The
claim is said to have one of the most
remarkable showings of copper on the
surface that has ever been found in the
state.
The Poland China group of Chesaw
Wn., has been bonded to a Montreal,
Canada syndicate for $4,000. This is
one of the largest deals made in the
Myers Creek camp since its wonderful
surface showings commenced to attract
the attention of mining opedators this
past summer.
| An excellent indication of the rapid.
ly growing Importance of Spokane as
a mining center is found in the fact
that the big mining machinery houses
are establishing branch houses there
A year ago there was not house in
the entire Robbins mining district
| buffalo Hump, and not mine that
had deeper than a 10-foot hole. When
one takes into consideration the eli
matte conditions prevailing in this sec
ton and the lack of transportation ia
cilities, the rough and broken character
of the country, and the distance from
railroads, the development work that
has been done and improvements that
has been done and improvements that
have been made in the past year are re-
markable.
