HOTEL GOSSIP.

asked for the porter
That's me- said Jack, pointing to
himself
Well. where's the bellboy?' asked
the actor.
That's me, too said Jack Tn
the bellboy. porter. clerk and landlord
What do you want?'
Some hot water said the actor.
Well replied Jack, you just &c
out into the hall. The first faucet is
hot water. the second is cold. Hustle up
a pitcher and take all you want
! There was a kind of cold, deter
mined look in the eye of the bellboy-
porter which the actor
didn't like, so there was no kicking
and he got his own hot water.
The next morning the troop came
down stairs about 10 o'clock and start
ed for the dining room.
Where are you goin?' yelled Sha-
fer.
q To breakfast said the leading man.
:. We'll. look here said the landlord,
| this amt a hospital. Breakfast is over
at $3.50. You people can't get anything
to eat till u o'clock
Next morning the actors were up at
s o'clock. and they filed into the dining
room. Jack didn't have much use for
actors, anyway"
DR.. F. NJ. Davis of Tooele City and
Daniel W. Lynch of Stockton, who re-
turned recently from Dawson and Cape
Nome, were at the Kenyon hotel yes
terday Mr.. Lynch is going to Grand
junction. Kan. where a brother recent
ly died. His presence is needed to set
/ tie some family affairs. DR.. Davis has
taken up the practice of medicine again
at Tooele City. but he and Mr.. Lynch
are determined to return to Cape Nome
next summer or as soon as the ice
breaks sufficiently to let steamships into
the northern seas.
Il don't find that Tooele county has
greatly changed in the two years We
were away" said Mr.. Lynch last even
ing. THE county seems to build up
very slowly. But Stockton shows i'm
provement. There are several mines in
operation which were not running when
was here two years ago. We are
confident that there is much more
money to be made at Cape Nome than
in mining here. That is, the prospector
stands better chance of finding rich
property"
There are at the Kenyon two Austria
lians who are making quite thorough
investigation of mines and mining
methods in the United States. Profess
sor j. w. Chapman, professor of miner
alogy and metallurgy at the Adelaide
university, and n. Z. Dudley of the
Broken Hill mining district
I'VE have looked through California
pretty thoroughly said Professor
Chapman last night, and have visited
some of the large mines of Nevada. To-
morrow we shall go to Bingham and
later on next week will visit other min
ing camps of Utah. We expect to go
to Montana, Colorado and Michigan.
The appearance of the mining dis
tricts of Nevada are much like those
Cf Australia There is the same barren
and deSolate country and we even have
a brush which is very similar to the
sagebrush. Those mines that we have
seen in the United States. or most of
them, are worked in magnificent FASH
ion and are worthy of study. The in
formation which we shall obtain will
be of very great aid to us when we re-
turn home"
The two gentlemen have letters to
Utah mining men and they speak in
glowing terms of the courtesies which
have been shown them in Salt Lake
and through Nevada and California.
BE mighty careful about the whisky
you drink around in these mining
camps said an old miner at the White
House last night. Some is whisky and
some amt.
Two or three months ago two men
were going to start a saloon at Ophir.
They had paid $500 or 500 for their out
tit. One of the partners, whose name
don't remember. was to meet the
other, Pete Pollock, at Mercur. Pete
didn't show up on time, so the partner
started out to get drunk. He was put
TO bed dead drunk at or o'clock that
m urn n ftx-t
stupor he was strangled to death. Pete |
came to Salt Lake and began to drink |
He saw so many snakes and things |
that they sent him to the Provo asy- |
lum.
TIL bartender was to have been |
Andy Waukena of Ogden. He com |
menced to drink, too. and as a result |
he died in alcoholic commissions. As a |
further result there was no new saloon |
at Ophir.
These fellows would have disposed |
of much whisky at Ophir They didn't |
need customers, for they would have
been pretty good customers them
