THE WARS OF THE
PRINCESS DE SAGAN

twenty-five years
The princess was one of the rlost beau
tfui women in Paris when beautiful wo-
men were not so rare as they are today.
Tall and svelte, with golden hair failing
in natural ringlets about her face, she pos
sessed the features of a Hebe, the eyes of
a fair pensiVe saint and a complexion of
dazzling beauty.
The Empress Eugene was recognized as
the lovliest woman of the empire. Her
majesty was admittedly jealous of the
charms of the Princess de Sagan whom
she regarded as her only possible rival
Notwithstanding the memorable outbreak
between the married pair when the prince
called the servants TO witness that in leav-
ing the palace of his wife in the Faubourg
st. German, he took nothing with him bur
an umbrella, the princess suffered very
little socially from the rupture of her do
+ nestle relations. Her wealth, her magnifi-
cent enteftaipments, her beauty and her
wit made-her a social power. Notwith-
standing the blot upon the family name.
the princess has been eourted and feted
by the most aristocratic men and women
of Europe.
1t was the princess who made Worth the
king of fashionable modistes, and of whom
it was said also: Worth makes dresses;
the Princess de Sagan makes the fashion
by condescending to appear in a Worth
creation"
Both the prince and the princess have
managed to keep much before the public.
The PRINCES moral code appears to have
consisted of one article only. He drew the
line on financial dishonor while he has set
at naught nearly nearly every other prin-
cipe of morality.
He was, untii he became a physical
wreck. the best known of the corrupt set
in Paris, a reckless gambler and intriSu-
ant, man of the world who had at rela-
lively early age exhausted every sensation
in life.

whom she desired to eaptivate she could
invite to the water and there be sure OF a

of the powerful god Of the sea and he
would never fail her.
ligIt is said that some famous proposals
have taken place right In the surf and 1t
is a notable fact that many of our famous
matches of wealth and of title have been
consummated at the seashore.

In Emperor William II of Germany the
shrewd Princess de Sagan encounters a
foeman worthy of her skill and of this dis
quite all Europe is talking. 1t is announced
by the German kaiser that he will not per-
nit the de Sagan inheritance founded by
a Sagan in the principally of that manor
in Silesia to pass into the hands OF the
French wife of the decrepit prince who was
at one time the acknowledged Beau Brum-
mel of all France
These German estates are of vast extent.
They are valued at between 100000 and
s3,o000e and produce annual rental of
about 100000 The emperor can do as nc
likes legally The estates are held as a
fief of the crown under an old law and
William has power to recognize any heir
he may choose. That heir may ultimately
be the Princess of Fuerstenberg.
Jeanne Aexandrine de Sagan is unques-
tionably a remarkable woman For a mat
ter of thirty odd years she has reigned a
queen in exclusive Partisan circles despite
the stain upon her fathers name and her
own unconventional life. She is the daush-
ter of the Baron Selliere of Paris, who
made millions in war contracts. When
his rascality was revealed through his
transactions during the Franco-Prussian
war France EN- masse turned upon him
and Selliere in fear of being mobbed by
the people had the courage 90 to blow
his brains out.
1t was this inheritance of dishonor to
which Jeanne Selliere, married already
some years to the Prince de Sagan, fell

wife to profit by the money dishonesty
made by her father She would not yield

SALES OF DALY-WEST.
While Stock Is Quoted at S12.00, 1t
Is Claimed to Be Worth $4,000.

For some time past there mas been
considerable trading in Daly-West
stock. and the fact that owners were
willing to loosen up has created an i'm
preston in certain circles that some
thing was wrong.
Such is not the case however. for 1t
is doubtful if there is another mine in
the state-aside from the DAILY West s
near neighbOr, the Silver King-which
can exhibit as large or as well deVel-
oped ore bodies as the mine in question.
" len quiZzed on the subject yesterday,
one of the stockholders said il was gen.
orally known that for a long time past
some 10000 shares of Daly-West had
been on what might be termed the open
market It had been lost, and had
found its way back here again, and
most of the trading now being done
could be safely counted as a turning
over of some of that stock.

THE RISE OF COPPER.
Expressions of Satisfaction From
Mining Men.


Copper went up yesterday and for the
first time in several months it was
quoted at II cents a pound. The rise
in the price of the red metal was oc-
casiOn for the expression of general
satisfaction among mining men.
Utah has lots of copper" said well
known mining man yesterday, and the
higher the price of the metal goes the
sooner we viii have more developed
mines in Utah. There is a big demand
for copper mines. l have letters in my
desk now from eastern capitalists who
want me to find them a developed cop
per mine. The fact of the matter is,
if you look over the ground from the
farthest side of Montana to the Mexican
line on the south you viii find precious
few developed copper mines. You can
count them all on your fingers. and
right now they are pretty well gObbled
up by a few that are not anxious TO I'M
load them at any price.
Il have been writing to these people
that the better plan for them is TO take
up a development proposition. / can
take them to a great many places in
this state where the expenditure of a
few Thousand dollars viii open up cop

would only stop to think what can
really be done with a small amount of
money here. where the chances of
losses are small. when the best of judg
ment is exercised in selections, they
would see that it would be to their in
terest to take up propositions in the
prospective stage. l have told my peo-
pie so and l have pointed out the adj
vantages OF propositions that require
development.
For instance. if they should take up
several prospects at one time and de-
velop them they are certain to strike
it in some of them, and that would
more than make up for the others
where fortune did not come So easy.

lowest figure is certainly a grand result
and certainly goes far toprove the real
worth of basin diggings. Mr. Leary
has two placer properties in the basin

at Placerville. each of about 500 acres
in extent. He has the finest water sup

burg. and one each from Granite creek
and the west fork of Illinois gulch.

sum of over 100000. or about $4,000 a

sin. and his work dates back with the
discovery of value in that section.

the camp positive assurances had been
made that the initial shipment would
be made from the mine this week ana
that it would likely be started towards
the market today.
Some trouble has been experienced
with water and for several weeks the
MANAGEMENT of the mine has been run
ming a new tunnel which will strike
the vein about 140 feet below the old
workings.
Mr.. Odbert says the Wedge people
are expecting to cut into the vein to-
ward which teh tunnel was directed
almost any minute and states positive
~ if the vein shows up as 1t does near
er the surface, it will become one of the
biggest mines in the state.
Mr.. Colbert has explored the upper
workings of the mine and is free TO
state that the reports of the rich values
contained there are in no ways eNaS-
gerated.
The Out of Sight mine has a splendid
showing of ore, Development is going
along at a rapid rate and there is every
Indication present that the mine will
be a big winner.

has been uncovered near the surface
and assays taken not long ago showed
values Of $9.64 in gold and 2S.33 ounces
silver.
In speaking of the camp in general
Mr. Odbert says everything looks good.
Colorado people are flocking in by the
scores, all of them have a little money
and they are eXpending it in making
developments. There are assurances,
ne says that within the next thirty
days there will be at least 500 new
Corners from Colorado in the district.
Experts who have been in the camp for
the last month making examinations
express the opinion that within the
next two years there will be more pro-
ducing mines in the vicinity of Marys-
vale than there are now in Cripple
Creek.
That is a pretty strong assertion to
make but Mr.. Odbert says the Colora
doans are wild over the possibilities of
the country and are perfectly sanguine
in making the assertion that it will out
rank the bonanza camp of Utah's sister
state.
Marysvale shows signs of a lively
building boom before winter sets in.
At present the new corners are scatter
ed about the camp but the hotels and
lodging houses are filed to overlooking.

IN DESERT FOUNTAINS.
w. E. Booth Examines Detroit Dis
trict Mines.

trict Mines.
The Desert mountains. in which is
located the Detroit mining district, has
just been explored by w. Z. Booth.
The gentleman has been absent about
three weeks, and during that time has
devoted his attention to studying the
naturalization Of that country. He
came away favorably impressed with
the possibilities of the Desert noun
tains. but expressed the opinion that it
will require some deep mining before
any big mines are opened up.
The old hex mine, which has pro-
duced some very rich ore. is in this dis
trict, but it was worked by a tunnel in
the early days, and not enough develop
nient was done TO demonstrate any
thing.
The camp is quiet at present, how
ever. Mr.. Booth says there are a num-
Der of properties under development
The Busby or Charm mine is the
scene of some activity. Quite a force
of men are employed there taking out
ore, which is rich enough to ship and
stand all the transportation and treat
ment charges. The ore carries its
values in gold ana copper. The gold is
free, and the owners are able to make
a neat profit out of ii after all expenses
are paid
A shaft is being sunk on the Pack
group of claims by Salt Lake parties,
and developments there look very fav-
orable.
Mr.. Booth says q peculiarly of the
district is the presence of two distinct
veins or ore chutes, lying close 10 each
other. In one the values found are eX-
clusively gold. and the other contains
both gold and copper.
The greatest drawback the country
has is the scarcity OF water. The near
est watering place is fully eighteen
miles away.
While IL the Desert mountains Mr.
Booth discovered some very fine speci-
mems of Utah topaz. He gathered up
quite lot of them and by persons
competent TO judge II is said they are
of exceptional good quality and fine
ness. They are said TO be almost as
hard as real diamonds. in fact. glass
was cut with them without injuring
them in the least. The stones are beau
fifniiy brilliant and persons not accus-
toned to diamonds would find it diff
cult TO distinguish Mr.. Booths collec-
ton of topaz from the real thing.
The specimens were found in the
sands of the desert, so Mr.. Booth says.
where there is no living thing except
rattlesnakes and horned toads.
