The international Sunday School Lesson
october 1, 1900. Psalm cx1iI.
Joy in Gods House,

October I, 1900. Psalm c1xii.
Joy in Gods House,
This is a song for the pilgrim cara
van. Its keynote is Joyous; It's move
ment SO spirited as to adapt 1t well for
marching hymn. The writer, with
vivid and sprlghtly Imagination, pic
lures himself US receiving the invita-
ton to Join the company bound for the
feast. He Is glad of the summons. The
thought Of a prctext for not going does
not SO much as cross his mind. On the
contrary. in an ecstacy OF pleasure, his
mind outruus his body, and he thinks Of
the journey as consummated and his
feet coming to halt within the gates
of the holy city. In his minds eye Je-
rusalem rises, and he addresses her in
"Thou art bullded as city that il
compact together.
II is no Struggling village OF huts, but
city of palaces. with bnttlements and
foundations strong. The city, with It's
holy and beautiful temple, Is the strong
magnet thrice every year drawing the
tribes from every side to itself, accord
ing to the custom OF Israel, which on
these occasions gives Its public thanks
TO God There are set UP the ivory
thrones Of the successors Of David.
There they dispense Judgment and JUS
tice. "'a' The psalm strikes even a
higher note when the pilgrims are ex-
horted 30 pray for Jerusalem's peace;
that the clty's name may really desig-
nate the City'S stnte. He who loves
Zion shall have that security which Is
Indispensable to prosperity. A prayer
is interjected into the stream of the
psalm:
Peace be within thy walls.
And prosperity within thy palaces.
II is an microscopy prayer, not for
self, but for brethren and companions
sakes. Again the welfare Of the city is
sought for that which the city contain
ed, the temple.

 Smiley had been working for McSwee- ney who was section foreman at Den nison and the former had quit a few days after McSweeney had turned the section over to another foreman and had taken his family to Winslow. Smiley went to Winslow Monday night and wanted McSweeney to give him his time check hut was told that he would have to get it from the foreman at Dennison. as he had the time book.
 Tuesday morning while McSweeney was at the depot waiting with his wife and three children for the train to go tp Fl Paso for the purp,'e of taking his vile, who is nearly blind po thu place for treatment, Smiley made another demand on McSweeney for his time check and was again told he could get it from the foreman who now had charge al Dennison. Smiley pulled his gun and McSweeney started lo run and Smiley fired two shots al him. one striking him in rhe back goiug hrough the kidneys. McSw .eney was carried inlO the depot and Dr.. lsraDen was t.legra phed for and reached Wnslow on No. I.

and in his remarks regarding the find,
he observed that the discovery twas
purely accidental and that had itfnot
been for a mere circumstance the ore
would not have been found for some
time to come INK probably not at all,
as the company was about to discon-
tinue operations in the drift from the
winze in which work was going on at
the time the ore was stumbled onto,
which, according to The Herald's in
formant. was the result of an accident,
as previously stated, as it happened as
follows:
One of the men employed in the mine,
in going to or from his work, hit his
head sharply against a projecting rock
in the roo Of the tunnel. Angered over
the incident, he struck the offending
rock as hard as he could with his
sledge, breaking it off, and at the same
time disclosing copper stains in the
formation. Following this up, it was
not long before the workings broke into
a fine body of good mineral, it being
estimated that the deposit is from
three to five feet in width, being di-
vided into a zon of nice-looking COD
per and also of high-grade steel galena,
the galena occurring in big chunks in
the vein, everything pointing to the
permanency Of the deposit.
Had the drift been started a few
feet higher up, the ore body would have
been encountered some time ago, but
as it was, it came very near being
missed altogether, as the vein is quite
fiat at this place.
Lower Mammoth shares nearly
touched the dollar mark yesterday.

HARDEN TURNED DOWN.
General Otis Vetoes appointment OF
a Newspaper Correspondent

New York, Jan. pa dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Upon
the arrival in Manila of the civilian
members of the Philippine commission,
the first action which they viii be re-
quired to take will be to elect a sec
rotary.
Edward W. Harden of Chicago, select
ed a few days ago will not fill the 20
sition. During his conference with the
civilian members the president suggest
ed hat Rear Admiral Dewey n Ma
jOr General Otis should be consulted
about such appointments and agreed
they be asked for their opinion concern
ing Mr. Harden. During the war Mr..
Harden had been employed as a W
paper correspondent at Manila and had
made his headquarters on board the
revenue cutter McCullOch, which par
ticipated in the battle Of Manila bay
and subsequent operations. .
In reply to the presidents inquiry.
Admiral Dewey cabled that he had no
objection TO Mr.. Harden's appointment.
General Otis, however, took exception
TO the appointment of the Chicago man.
because. it is said, he published in a
San Francisco newspaper a statement
concerning the Philippines which Cen
eral Otis declared untrue. In view OF
General Otis message, the decision to
appoint Mr.. Harden as secretary Of,
the commission was revoked and a sec
rotary will be selected by the commits
sion when it holds its first session in
Manila.

Colonel S. B.. Miner, The efficient
manager OF the Dexter, at TUscarora,
New, returned home Sunday, after
spending several weeks in superintend-
ing operations at the mine and mill,
being present when the initial run was
made of the new Jack Greek power
line.
The colonel is enthusiastic, as usual,
over the splendid showing in the DeX-
Ter mine, and the samples OF ore from
this magnificent property which he
brought back with him ard which are
fairly lousy with the yellow metal, Gre
sted considerable excitement among
the local stockholders of the company.
The mill, according to The Herald 5
informant, is now dropping forty
stamps at night n thirty during the
day, with the two rOck-breakers,
enough ore being crushed during the
day to keep the plant IN constant Cd
eration during the tw~eltty-four hours
run, the statement being made that as
yet the power was moi sufficient to
keep the full battery of the mill in
steady operation, owing TO. the extreme
old weather in the hills as the ice
forms so that the water is held back
in fiat places in the stream above the
fiume, in consequence OF which regular
glaciers are being formed which will
add TO h flow as soon as warmer
weather ONES
The mine, the colonel says, is look
ing fine in ali of its workings. and it
is improving daily, the output and
amount now treated being from eighty
TO a hundred tons of good ore daily, the
saving being in h neighborhoOd Of
SO per cent of the gold values, While an
excellent recovery OF silver is recorded.
The company has added many i'm
provements to the equipment of the
mine Of late, as it has expended at
least $780, 600 sinte August of last year,
50 that the mine and mill sh ould make
excellent records for themselves in the
near future. one of the latest I've
ienoes added recently being big steel
tanks into which the tailings from the
plates are conveyed, instead of being
allowed to run into the usual tailingS
pit. From these tanks the tailings are
loaded into cars which are Il direct
to the cyanide mill, thus econOmizing
both time and honey in their handling.
a great deal of prospecting work is
being done around Tuscarora at the
present time, and the country is staked
off for miles around. At the Ezra the
mine and mill are both in successful
operation.
A carload of h~igh-grade ore from the
Dexter is expected to arrive at one Of
Salt Lakes samplers within the next
few days.

THE LOWER
Begins to Look As If This Was the
Making of a Producing Mine.

Recent reports seemingly corrobor-
ate The Herald's statement a few days

Lower Mammoth mine, at Mammoth,
and it is the prevailing opinion now
that in due time this will rank as a
producing and paying mine.
Several parties have inspected the
underground workings Of this property
during the past few days, and the
statements Of nearly all coincide as to
the value of the discovery, the con-
clusion arrived at being that with more
DEVELOPMENT work the new discovery
should show up big.

Development of Jesse Ewing Canyon
Property.

Especial C-orrespondence.)
Vernal, Jan. 19.-Perry Bingham and
Frank Dennis came over last night
from the Jesse Ewing canyon where
they have been pushing development
work on the copper claims hat abound
in that district.
Jesse Ewing canyon is some sixty
miles northeast of Vernal and is con-
sidered by some a very promising
camp.
Mr.. Dennis stated today that the
Comstock, a property in which S. r.
Bennion of Vernal is heavily interested,
shows groupings of fine grade copper
ore, although the veins are small on
the surface. The company is driving
a tunnel to tap the veins at a depth of
200 feet, by a tunnel 200 feet long,
which is now in ninety feet. The com
pany feel sanguine that when the ore
is encountered something startling will
be heard from that remote district.
A ten-inch vein of what has every
appearance OF gray copper has been
encountered in the face of a drift on
the Basset mine, which Is now in fifty
feet.
Several Springville parties are also
interested in developing several prop
critics in the district, which Mr.. Dennis
states give indications of future values.
