NEWTON DISTRICT.
The Newton district lies along the
eastern borders of Beaver county and
occupies a splendidly mineralized sec
ton on the west slope of the Tusher
range Of mountains. The district Is a
continuation of Gold Mountain and
other Piute couaty districts.
Among the best propositions found
there are the Rob Roy group, owned
by p L. Farnsworth and others. The
mine is extensively developed, showing
large quantities of ore that will assay
from SIG to $40 in gold. Values of over
$500 to the ton have been obtained.
Active development work has been
in progress in the Ada Belle, Eureka
group No.'2, Sheep Rock. Busy Bee and
White Cliff. 1t is believed the district
will be extensively exploited in 1900.
GRANITE DISTRICT.
Just to the east of the Lincoln and
Bradshaw districts is what is called
the Granite district. The principal
property there is the South Granite,
consisting of six claims and owned by
a Salt Lake company. Considerable
development work was done there dur
ing the past year.
Prospectors have been active, too,
and there are numerous properties of
promise, among which might be noted
the Fairview and Sunnyside groups.
Pumice District.
Besides its vast resources in the
higher metals, Beaver county also has
large deposits of .pumice stone. The
Chicago Pumice Stone company is OPP
Grating a property twelve miles north
of Beaver City and finds a market for
the product in the east. 1t is consid-
cred to be equal to any of the i'm
ported pumice.
Sulphur Beds.
The sulphur beds located in the
northeastern part of the city are of
considerable importance. The prop
erty is owned by st. Louis syndicate
and has been operated during the past
season by John NJ. Macfarlane. The
bed lies in an extinct volcano and runs
from SO to so per cent sulphur. A re-
finery is operated on the ground, hav-
ing a capacity of fifty tons per day. A
large force Of men has been kept con-
stantly employed during the season
Graphite, chalk, zinc and aluminium
are also found in good quantities in the
county, but little attention has been
paid to them.
Beaver county is famous for its
building stone, which includes various
kinds Of granite, marble and onyx.

MICH DEVELOPMENT
ON GOLD MOUNTAIN
Prosperous Mining Camp Built
Up During the Year.

The Gold Mountain district in Piute
county has caused quit a stir in the
world on its own account during the
year now closed and a genuine boom
is promised for 1900. A year ago Sny-
der City contained but two or three
houses and there were probably not
over a dozen men at work in the dis
trict, the rigors of winter compelling
a practical abandonment of the camp.
During the past summer, however,
some fifteen new buildings have been
erected, including three business
houses, livery stable, etc. On the diff
ferent mining companies claims sever
al other structures have gone up and
conservative estimate places the
number of men now at work there at
$50, and the prediction is made that
500 men will find steady employment
during the coming spring and summer.
The district came into prominence
last spring as soon as it became known
that Frank ]. Cannon was working
up a 81 900 company to operate the
Annie Laurie and other promising
groups of claims. The failure of the
scheme did not deter claim owners
from continuing work at all and the
year closes with a development record
far SURPRISING any year in the COM
pany's >history. The same combination
which had figured with Frank Cannon
finally came out at the solicitation of
w. r Snyder and made agreements
with the owners of the Annie Laurie
and much other valuable ground to 90
certain work and take options on the
properties. The Annie Laurie, Sur
prise. Trapper's Pride, Cummings
group. Outzen group. the Advocate
group, Miller group and Deer Park
group, have all been actively worked
during the fall, under options held by
the Kimberley Huck-Aldrich combine.
and much money has been spent. The
amount of work done on the groups
named foots up something over 5000
feet.

In the same vicinity Charles Voigt

to be developed.
The Lone Tree group is being worked
under lease by II. w. Ramloose, and
many other pieces Of property are be-

Gold is said to be everywhere in the
district. which Is blessed with pure
water and timber in abundance. and as
soon as some Of the many tunnels now
being run to open the lodges at depth
and provide stopping ground are made
to connect with the ore channels. great
times will be had at Gold Mountain.

of some of the prominent mines of the

1t is only a little over year ago that
the Washington mine came into exist
ence. and while it is scarcely out of it's
baby clothes it is ranked as a bonanza
and gives every promise of becoming
as great as its famous neighbor. the
Horn Silver, about two miles distant.
The Washington has paid it's way
from the grass roots with the output
of ores and the owners have never
been out a single dollar of their own
individual money from the start. A
double compartment shaft has been
sunk to a depth of about 800 feet. The
property was equipped the early part
of the year with a large hosting plant,
capable of going to a great depth. A
late shipment OF ore went over $50
ounces silver. 40 per cent lead. 4 per
cent copper and S14 in gold. The forma-
ton is similar TO the Horn Silver and
with depth it is believed the same
characteristic will continue. The prin-

My father attended school in New

across lots to about where Chambers

housechuckers (artichokes) and pick
berries. He also stated that he had
caught fish in a brook or creek that
then ran through the present Maiden

that they were Of the pin-hook species.
On one occasion returning from school

Successful Efforts of the Rev. John
Collins in Establishing n Community
Rev. John c.. Collins, who has been in
the city for day or two, has about
completed arrangements to remove his
residence and the headquarters of the
international Christian Workers asso-
citation to Montreal, N c., formerly
called Mountain Retreat, which is few
miles east of Asheville.
Mr.. Collins, as is well known, has
been at work during the past three or
four years establishing community
in the mountains of western North Car
olina. The plans have now been fully
perfected and the association known as
the Mountain Retreat association Is I'M
der charter of the North Carolina legis-
lature, owning, free of all encum-
brances, 1890 acres of land. Mr. Collins
is president and has had the entire
management Of the details up to the
present time. Business men and minis
tiers in different parts Of the country
have been associated with him as q
committee. All profits from sales Of
land, stores, hotels, alike are put into
common treasury and used for the
purposes for which taxes are usually
laid. One section of lots has been laid
out, three hundred Of which have been
distributed among ministers and edu-
Gators in different parts of the coun-
try. Another section is now being
planned.
Since last September twenty cottages
have been erected, and there are sixty
residents. There lis a postoffice, school,
circulating library, stores, temporary
bank, union church. Sunday school
and mid-weel1ly service. The indica-
tons are for a most prosperous future,
especially now since all financial diff
culties have been removed and the land
has come into the possession of the as
ISOLATION.
The land was originally bought for
$3.50 an acre, and is now worth 5000 an
acre. The first three hundred lots have
almost paid for the entire tracts of 1000
acres The prices are constantly in
creasing and all moneys received are
turned into the common treasury to be
used for improvements. Each person
owns his home, and no one can use it
except for a residence unless under a
special permit, so that stores, hotels
and all places of business belong to the
association and are rented to individu-
ais and a share of the profits is turned
into the association treasury. Under

IN GAY PIREE.
Brilliant Event at the Hyperion Last
Night.


I'm Gay Paree," a combination of
comedy, opera and ballet, in well bal
anced proportions, was given most
elaborate production last night at the
Hyperion in the presence of a very large
and appreciative audience. From a
scenic point of view nothing has been
presented in this city in the last three
years which can compare with the pro-
duction, and the costumes were SIM
ply grand. The story deals with the
tribulations of a prospective bridegroom,
who undertakes to reharse honeymoon
trip, during which they both are brought
into many complicated positions.
Among the important scenes shown
was the exterior OF the Cafe Robinson
and the vineyard of Argenterril. One
of the best stage pictures was the finale
of the first act and it was one of the
most beautiful of the entire perform
ance. The same details which attend all
productions under the New York Casino
management were carried out in this
production.
There are number of very pleasing
songs throughout the three acts Among
those which received the most applause
was the duo of Miss Ten Brock and
Mr.. TYLER. the waltz song nv Miss Gil
man. and the tonical song nv Mr.
Bruno. The opportunity 70 give the

The sale of liquor is prohibited on
the grounds and within one mile of the
community boundary. Mr. Collins be-
gan looking over the country in 1895,
and he obtained g. charter in February,
1897.
In speaking about the new communi-
ty Mr.. Collins says: There is no reason
why a community could not be man
aged much more economically by hav-
ing a small body of reliable men direct
the affairs, all of which would be open
to the examination and inspection of
the people most interested. Every dol
lar received Is expended upon the pub

gets a portion. We confidently believe
that we can have a city without taxes

A PROSPEROUS FIRM.

Clerkin & Mcdonald of Grand Avenue.
Grand avenue is rapidly becoming one
of the prominent business streets of the
city, and one of the most prosperous
mercantile establishments on this
street is that of Clerkin & Mcdonald,
the we'll known plumbers and dealers
in gas fixtures and steam supplies. This
firm may be taken as one of the repre-
sentative firm in it's line in the city.
From plain plumbing, the first bust
ness, they have gradually included the
other branches of successful business
of this kind, and as dealers in gas fix
lures and supplies for steam, water and
gas, including gas ranges and stoves,
and all the other higher branches Of
plumbing, they easily excel.
Their work is of the best, as is testi-
fed to by the many prominent people
served by the firm. First class work
in all respects is done, and this firm
merits it's large and still increasing
business.
