n0Ssible that Miss Mamie Hurley carries
off the prize, for we believe that she is
entitled to it. Now, i have not had the
good fortune to see all the beautiful worn

beautiful than she. But we of Park City
don't believe it,
Mr.. Fairhurst. as well as Miss Hurley,

"Oh no. I am not the celebrity known
as MetalIurgist Murphy" said his name

afternoon. "MetaHurgist Murphy was
the brightest and wittfest SON of the Old

an authority on the metals and their al,

scientific information. He knew all the

his wit into the dryeSt stuff imaginable
and converting it into an interesting and
amusing subject. | remember that once
upon a time MetaIluFgist Murphy was
induced to invest some of his hard earned
cash in what is known as a dead sure
thing. l was something or other listed
on the New York stock exchange. No
sooner had he got hold of the certIncates
of stock than the manipuiators and bears
got after it and drove it out of existence.
Murphy was hot for a while. but mas
keen sense of humor soon came to the
fore, and at a meeting Of the Society. OF
Mining Engineers held the next evening
he startled the members with the an
nouncement, in tones that carried weight
and CONJUNCTION, that he had discovered
a. new metallic element. The paper that
he presented to the meeting read like

unaffected by heat or cold, and when

Duck hunters who deplore the scarcity
of game about Salt Lake might go TO
Clear Lake and find all the game and
more than they wanted.
There is magnificent hunting about the
lake" said A V. Afirach at the White
House yesterday. Teal and mallard
ducks are plentiful. We have them by
the thousands. The canvasbacks have
not yet come, and few will be around IN
til january. Teal in particular are NUM-
