HEAVY TRAVEL.
Conference Has Drawn Thousands of
Visitors to the CITY.

Railroad men affirm that this season
has seen the largest attendance upon
the conference that has been known
for years. Travel has been heavier than
for five or six years, in fact, the eoun-
try has been deserted. Yesterday the
Salt Lake e. Ogden railroad brought in
1,500 people. They came from Farming
ton, Centerville and Bountiful. Six
trains were run each way yesterday and
each train had from eight to ten
coaches. Altogether this line. according
to the report of the general passenger
agent Early, has hauled 5000 people to
the conference. The largest crowd is
expected today.
The Rio Grande poured 1000 visitors
into the city yesterday This is in adj
dition to the 5000 already hauled by the
road this Week. The Short Lines fig
ures could not be obtained. All of the
roads expect record-breaking crowds
today. This, with the number of those
who have remained in the city will
make one of the largest gatherings that
Zion has seen for many years.

BINGHAM MINER TOUCHED
ED WILLIAMS ROBBED BY HIS
NEW FRIEND.
j. M. Jameson Had the Money In His
Pocket and Is Now Behind the
Bars.

Edward Williams, miner from Bing-
ham, was touched for SGT in a lodging
house at Al East Second South Friday
night and j. NJ. Jameson, his companion
of a few hours, languishes in Jail, charged
with the robbery. Williams and Jameson
scraped up an acquaintance on the train
coming in from the place where copper
grows in such profusion. Drinks followed.
Then more drinks and Jameson volun-
teered to show Williams to bed, the latter
feeling a little off. When Williams got in.
Jameson went out again, saying he would
return to sleep. but when Williams awoke
it was with big head and an empty
pocket and no Jameson in sight
Detective Sheets got a description of
Jameson and picked him up on the street.
He had some money very much the same
as Williams had had, and strange to say,
about the same amount. He will be
formally accused of the theft before
Judge Timmony tomorrow.

Kyune stone from the new quarry of
Potter & Mckay, six miles east of Coll

quarry having been opened primarily

same nature, and is durable beyond
question.

day that the contractors would at
once begin to ship the stone here, about
700 carloads in ALL at the rate of one
car day.
Mr. Mckay, founder of the quarry,
is an expert on stone. and anticipates
great results from the first building
