THE DIXIE GROUP,
Twenty Thousand Dollars Paid for
One Third Interest.

Twenty Thousand Dollars Paid for
One Third interest.
For third interest in the Dixie
group of mines, consisting of thir-
teen locations just fourteen miles
west of st. George, Messrs. John G.
Grifiths and NJ. J. O'Meara of this
city yesterday shelled out 800, 900
the payment passing through the
banking house of 7. r. Jones & Co.,
and going into the pockets of Sam
uel L. Adams, who originally con-
trolled the proposition on lease
and bond. Simultaneous with the
closing of the deal by which title to
the third interest was passed, came
the first lot of ore under present
ownership, and that marketed on
controls showing as much as 4l%
copper and 4 ounces silver per ton.
Samples of this ore exhibited on the
thoroughfares and in brokers win
dows during the day demonstrated
not only an ore of perfect smelling
quality, but that it existed in consid-
cradle volume. And for the smell
ting of it in a small way, the owne RS
are nicely equipped. Upon the
ground is smelter capable of hand
ling fifteen tons daily, and from
which amount the management is
deriving over 1000 pounds of cop
per bullion over 80 fine. 1t was
with this that the original owners of
the Dixie group, the Messrs. Wool
ley, Lund and Judd, made it profit
able to smelt the ores nearly twenty
years ago aud with power from a
gasoline engine the new owners are
now making it, with an advanced
price for copper, even more protita-
Ele. The management will hardly
repeat yesterdays shipment to this
market, as it entails unnecessary ex-
pense. Mr.. Grifiths, who recently
made an examination of the group.
said yesterday that at depth of 200
feet on most irregular route from
the main opening into the ground,
over thirty inches of ore had been
exposed that will yield an average
of 55 per cent copper.
The group is one of the best known
in the commonwealth, aud while
owned and operated by Messrs.
Woolley, Lund and Judd, is said to
have been productive of ores of the
value of over 100000. The aquisi-
tion of the Adams interest by Messrs.
Grifiths and O'Meara yesterday
leaves the property in the hands of
those gentlemen, Mr.. w. w. Olds
and DR.. j. E. King, who will prose-
cute work most diligently from this
time with assurances that the smell
ter will be enlarged. The ores now

Mccune In Southeastern Nevada.

N. P. Dooley, who is in again
from Phoebe and DeLamar, New,
says that both localities are showing
willingness to sprout boom with
conditions in favor of the latter
camp, where Hon. A. w. McCune
has already found foothold on the
Mono and April Fool No. 2 while
undertaking to strengthen it with
the Magnolia. However, the visitor
has pinned his faith to S'ateline,
where he recently purchased the
Popkees mill, and through which
he will put the ores of the Little
Johnny and other claims owned by
him as soon as they are blocked out.
Mr.. Dooley promises shipment
from the camp in short time that
will astonish the natives.
Frank M. Wilson Will Erect A Hand
some Edifice.
Frank M. Wilson of the April
Fool mine, who has given evidence
of his faith in the future of Salt Lake
by investing heavily in improved
real estate during the past year, has
announced his intention of rearing
on South Main street one of the
most magnificent Office buildings in
the West.
The deed to the Hawkins block at
No. 216-18-20 South Main street, for
which Mr.. Wilson paid $50, 900,
passed yesterday, and it is upon this
site that the gentleman proposes to
erect the new building.
1t will be six stories in height.
and will cost 100000. The front
age of the property is 491 feet.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Wilson
does not desire to work a hardship
upon the present occupants of the
old building, he will not begin work
upon the structure until spring.
He has not yet decided as to the
architecture of the building. but his
announcement that it will be perfect
in all its appointments is a sufficient
guarantee that it will be structure
which will reflect credit upon the
city.-Tribune.

 In his native home the polar bear does not often meet with small boys anxious to treat him to buns and other dainties. The consequence is that Bruin has to devise many curious ways of securing his food, and none are more strange and interesting than that re- lated by two trustworthy travellers in Greenland. that country of strange sights.
 They have known the polar bear to take a stone or a huge lump of ice in his fore paws and from a favorable height, as a cliff or precipltous ice hill, to hurl the missile down upon the head of walrus-an enormous brute, often twice the size of the bear-and so stun him that Bruin could rush in and complete the destruction at his leisure, thus securing a months rations.
 The most useful food of the ice bear. as the Germans very appropriately call this beast, is the common seal of the arctic regions. The latter is the wari~ est animal of the north, and both Es~ kimo and polar bear need their best strategy to catch it.
 In the summer time, when the snow is off the ice of the ocean shore and islets, the seals can be plainly seen as black dots on the ice, probably asleep, but always near their holes, which lead down through the thick ice to the water below, and into which they can throw themselves by the least move ment. Bruin, seeing one afar, walks up as near as he deems safe, and then begins crawling on his wary prey.
 The seal, If the weather be sunny and pleasant, takes short maps, relieved by shorter moments when it is sean- ming the vicinity for signs of the ene- my's approach. During these times the bear is very quiet and as still as death itself, with eyes apparently closed, though really a corner of each is kept open, and in this way he hopes the seal will take him for heap of snow, an appearance which his coat readily helps him to assume.
 During the maps he creeps forward with greater or less rapidity, according to his nearness to the seal and conse- quent fear of being seen or heard. When but ten or twelve yards away. and the seal is in the depths of good nap, the bear rushes upon him, and with single blow of his powerful paw knocks the smaller brute senseless# and so far away from the hole that he ean- not escape by that way, even if the blow received is not immediately fatal.
 In winter time the ice is covered with snow. and this is hollowed out by the seal into a snow house, cover ing the hole in the ice and connecting at the top of the dome with an aperture about the size of shilling, called the blow hole, for it is through this that the seal breathes when he is in want of fresh air.
 Here the bear watches for many long hour. if necessary, and when the snorts of the seal are heard he crushes in the fragile dome of the snow house with his paw, impaling the seal on his curved claws, and proceeds to practi- cally demonstrate how polar bears can subsiSt in an arctic winter
