than at any time since the mining in

advance in the price of copper. that
Il particular branch of mining has re-
ceIyed an impetus that was not thought

the Tintic district will rival that OF

/ the quantity is somewhat limited
Every metal known to science is to be
found more or less plentifuliy in Utah;
the rare metals exist in the native as
i Well as IN combination with other
metals but very little attention Is paid
TO them on account of the great de-
mand and better prices paid for work

aluminium in the Uintah reservation,

found mountains high
| The United States consumes more
coffee per capita than any other nation
in the world" said the representative
OF leading coffee company at the Ken
yon yesterday afternoon. THE annual
output of our mills alone is more than
/ 100000 pounds, and we are only one OF
many. The miners and sheepherders
are the greatest coffee drinkers in the
| United States. This is due to the poor
| quality of water found on the ranges
and in the camps, and the incessant
| outdoor life has something TO do with it,
! because exposure always numbs the
! senses and tends to put person to
sleep. The country west of the Missou-
ri consumes more coffee per person than
E., the east. The highest grades are the
Mocha and Java; the former is OBJ
tanned from the Mediterranean ports,
and the latter from the Dutch colony of
Java, in the East Indies. The Rio cot
fees of Brazil rule the markets of the
world. They are what is known as the
Brazilian products and are usually
marketed in New York about the last
of January or the first of February. 1t
| is brought by the shipload in the green
state, and is roasted at the coffee mills
in the east. Coffee loses from 16 to 20
per cent in weight in the process Of
roasting. Ground coffee is often adul-
terated with chicory and bread stuffs.
but the report that split peas are COL
ored with chemicals and palmed off on
the unsuspecting is CANNON and spin
ach; the only humbugging game that
know Of in the coffee business is the
one of coating the bean with some sort
of a brown mixture to increase the
weight
C. B. Miller of Chicago came into
town yesterday with wagon load of
trunks filled with the sort of stuff that
women revel in talking about and
shopping for. He said: 1.-THE latest
thing in millinery is frills; the latest
thing for the past twenty years has
been the same thing, and frills, fuss,
and feathers will probably last until the
crack of doom. The attention given to
hats is falling off-this is owing to the
passing of anti-hat theatre laws What
is the use of squandering time and
money on a piece of headgear if it can
not be made the focus of lines of sight,
and the object of profane and COM
mandatory remarks, Men think that
women pay too much for their hats and
and other didos; they wouldn't if they
knew what lot of expensive trumpery
is employed in making them up. 1t
might be considered expensive if a man
paid as much for something he wears,
but the point of view it not the same.
That reminds me of something that

said. He was acting in the capacity of
salesman in retail dry goods shop on
the stage, and was diso0Sing of some

she asked. +Oh, no., said Dixie, ''25
cents isn't too dear for a tidy; it (
would be for an oyster stew, but it is /
not too much for a tidy"
Dick Whitaker of West Tintic is in |
town to help swell the conference roll, |
and is going to get few extra whisk
brooms with which to sweep off the |
alkali soil that is in the air around |
Tintic these rainless days-that is, |
some of it is in the air, the most Of it |
is in the houses and the inhabitants |
clothes: SO Dick says. I'VE are hump |
ing ourselves doing mining work this |
fall" said ne. 81 have been looking af /
ter the interests of the Burlington mine, /
and whom l left they were sinking what |
is known as a double compartment |
shaft to a depth of 500 feet. The gem
eral conditions in West Tintic are pros !
porous, and nobody that 1 know has |
to find fault or grumble. ALI /
the prospects are being developed. bat |
the miners are combining their efforts to |
gaining depth and not to shipping ore. /
The last assay of the Burlington ore /
showed 231s per cent of copper, four
teen ounces of silver and $2.S5 of gold
