HOTEL GOSSIP.

+. NJ. Ramey, an experienced mining
man of Cripple Creek, is stopping at the
/ Cullen. He is investigating several mining
propositions in this state. Mr.. Ramey
believes Utah is a very inviting field for
capitalists, and is particularly pleased
| with the appearance of Salt Lake and its
| pleasant, bracing climate Ahe people,
he said, all seem to have a healthful APP
| pearance, and clear, bright features,
| which. L presume is owing TO the delight
| full climate. The city is picturesqueiy To-
Gated and seems to have ample water IA
| cllltleS Tor drainage purposes. Mr.. Ra-
| mey Is an old-time miner and prOSpectOr
! throughout Colorado in the early bonanza
| days, and in a reminiscent mood, spoke
| of the early struggles of Tabor, Creole
and Stratton. who blossomed out into mill
iionaires from. .grub-stake prospectors.
Mr.. Stratton,' he said, lis the greatest
philanthroDist in the world today. He is
| living for the good that he may do for
| others, and is giving away to deserving
people a large portion of his immense for
tune. He is a practical mining man, and,
as you know. discovered rich mines on the
very spot where mining experts said that
gold and silver did not and could not ex-
| list. OF course. there is a great deal of
| luck in mining, but a man must have
| good common sense in order to profit by
that luck"
]. C. De La Mare, ex-sheriff of Tooele
| county and present mayor of Tooele, is a
guest at the White House. Our people,
said Mr.. De La Mare ARE engaging
more extensively in dry farming this
year than ever before. They are planting
largely of alfalfa, wheat and corn, and
| without the expectation of irrigating in
the least, for the bench lands are very
productive. The lowest quantity OF wheat
ever raised on those dry lands was six
! bushels to the acre. while twenty bushels
| to the acre are now raised. With alfalfa at
~ ton, with no care except to cut IL, there
| IS considerable pront 10 pe made. espec.
| tally as the assessment is only - or 50
| per acre on dry lands. But wheat does
| exceedingly we'll, hence the increased area
/ in planting. creamery. costing about
| 5000. is being put up at Tooele, and other
needed improvements are being made
But what our people greatly need is a
| local train by which we can reach Salt
Lake in the morning and return in the
| evening. As il is now, we must remain
| here over night and lose a great deal of
time
Daniel Hays a prominent mining man
| of Bingham, is registered at the White
House. The mining prospects of our
district are very fattering." said Mr..
| Hays. There is more than the usual
| number of prospectors in the district, and
all of them seem to be doing well. There
| is a general disposition to hold on to
| properties. which indicates that the own
ers believe that their mines are valuable
| and will in time become more productive
| Considerable work is being done in Mark
ham gulch. The Montezuma is putting in
steam hoist, preparatory to working on
a larger scale and the Julia Dean is also
progressing in work.
Il do not know what We shall do with
our sheep" SAID Mr.. W. II. Caldwell of
/ Tooele. when Seen at the White House
yesterday. All of the ranges everywhere
are full of sheep, and if the government
I deorives us of the reservations we are
now using, l presume we will have TO go
out of the sheep business. There seems
to be no other place where we can go. 1
don't know what we can do if the gov
eminent authorities determine to enforce
the recent orders. The sheep interests of
| Tooele are prosperous at present, but we
may have TO send our sheep to Chicago
and quit the business.

the White House. He reports the grain
