Good Showing Has Not Yet At
fected Market.
A DIVIDEND FOR B. & M.
Quarterly Regular of IS and an Extra
M of $~3-T0day'S Market
&c ST. Features.

The expected report Of the Utah Con-
solidated has been made and it says in
part:
From developments made since April
last it is safe to estimate at present upon
the existence in mine of SOC, 900 tOns of
sulphide copper ore. Shipments of ore
nave been made from the mine to the
smelter since last May.
Complete plans have been prepared
for doubling the present smelter capacity.
This will only necessitate the building Of
three or four more reve~rberatory fur
naces with the necessary calcining ap-
paratus and the addition Of two con-
verter stands, as the smelter, as it is now
built, is provided with a power plant OF
sufficient capacity to take care Of double
thetonnage. No new buildings will have
to be erected, but simply extensions of
those which are at present existing. The
total cost of this enlargement of the plant
will be, approximately, $780, 900.
Our smelling plant is the most modern
in existence in the United States today.
The mechanical handling of the ore and
products has been carried out to perfec-
ton; and on account of this high excel
lence of the design, the expenditures for
labor, fuel and supplies are reduced to a
minimum.
The following summary of results is
calculated from the time the smelter was
put in commission up to and including
Nov. 80, 1899. AS has been stated above,
the smelter did not get into regular run
min gorder until July l. From the time
of it's blowing-in until Nov. 30, the total
production Of fine copper vas 3,01G,975
pounds.

ATTEMPT TO GAIN VOTES.
Republicans Are Trying to Make Political
Capital Out of Trusts-The POpu-
lists and Democrats Stand.

WashingtOn-The last days Of this
session of congress were given over to
a series Of cheap attempts by the re-
publican leaders to make some politi-
cal capital for the campaign. 1t has at
last dawned on the party managers
that the house of representatives is
hOpelessly lost to them; that thechsnces
Of Bryan's election are steadily increas-
ing and that it viii only be with the
greatest difficulty that the senate can
be held for the gold standard. The
demand for a tub to the antitrust
whale led to the presentation of the
proposition to submit a constitutional
amendment to the legislatures Of the
several states. This was rejected BY
almost a straight party vote, the demo
Gratis, pOpulists and silver republicans
opposing it because they believed that
the trusts could easily be reached by
legislation if the majority desired to
curb them.
Representative Shafroth, Of Denver,
has stated their attitude very clearly
in these words: SAny vote in favor Of
that joint resolution was an open con
fession that congress has not the power
to prohibit or curb the trusts. Conse-
quently it could be made the excuse
for no earnest legislation against
trusts for almost an indefinite period.
It would take somewhere from four to
eight years before q constitutional
amendment could be presented and
receive the ratification Of q sufficient
number Of states. If the joint resolu-
ton submitting the amendment had
been enacted it could be used to ex-
plain Why no direct legislation is IN
dertsken against the trusts. By its
adoption congress would ha7e confess
ed that We had not the power to do
anything without the constitutional
amendment. I believe that it is quite
within the power Of congress at the
present time to control the trusts % By
forbidding them the use Of the nails;
q by repeating the tariff on articles
made by trusts 81 BY prohibiting rail-
roads from transporting their products
under the interstate commerce law.
Enactmsnts Of this character would
certainly 20 far toward rsmedyinR the
srust evil, and ell are quite Witnfn the
power Of congress

Is THE BOER WAR ENDEDe

Because Of the military occupancy
Of Pretoria by the British, the people
Of both the United States and England
believe that the BOer war is ended.
Some newspapers, adhering TO this
view, are now Offering conjecture as to
the plans England viii adopt in attach
ing the newly acquired territory to the
empire.
In the face Of this belief, so freely
acquiesced in, the BOer ENJOYS to this
country are hurting denial. Press dis
patches from the Boer officials are en-
phatic in their annunciatiOn that the
war is not ended
The executive officers Of the Trans
vaaI government are in a railway car
which is shUnted on a switch at Mach
adorf station. President Kruger
caused the interior of the coach to be
reconstructed some time ago, with a
view to contingencies that have now
arrived. This was a vital precautiOn,
and has already saved the South Afri-
can republics from sure defeat. Dom
Paul is as Iong-headed a man as Great
Britain could ever boast of having.
When Gladstone returned from a visit
to Kruger a number Of years ago, he
said that in all his acquaintance with
the great diplomats of the world, he
had never met the equal Of President
Kruger of the Transvaal republic.
1t is the judgment of the foolish to
say at this early date, that the lion has
his paw on the throat of the patriotic
farmer of South Africa. Men who have
their all at stake and possessed Of the
stamina Of the Beers, are not so easily
whipped.
The number Of their army is not
sufficient to meet the overwhelming
force Of Roberts on the open field. It
now seems as though the Burghers in
tend to follow the tactics so skiIIfuIIy
put into play by our own Washington
against the armies Of George Ill If
such is to be the case, the BObs viii
find that the farmer fighters Of South
Africa, by great mobility and an Oc-
casiOnally sharp attack, viii be able to
do that which has been done before-to
win independence when it seemed as
though the reality transcribed the
widest flights Of the imagination.

BURGLAR IN JAIL.
Marcus Davis, Charged With Having
Robbed Corners Store, Captured
in Norton


The man who presumably robbed the
store of ". E. Conner Of considerable
jewelry on Sunday night, June 3, is
now on occupant Of the county Jail.
As soon as the burglary was known
telegraphic messages were sent both
east and west spprising the authorities
of the theft. These were followed by
printed postal cards imparting more
particulars.
Word was received from the sheriff
Of Smith county that man selling
jewelry was being held for identified
ton. Sheriff Walker brought this sus-
pect in Friday morning.
In the meantime the sheriff received
word from the sheriff of Norton coun-
ty, stating that he had arrested a man
answering to the description, selling
jeweIry. That the man under arrest
was Of doubtful character, was shown
by the fact that he offered the sheriff
Of Norton county SO to turn him loose.
Sheriff Walker went to Norton and re-
turned with his man Saturday morning.
The men were brought before Justice
Calvert Saturday at ten O'Clock. The
prisoner arrested at Norton gave his
name as Marcus Davis; the other,
Herbert Herket. Attorney E. T. Muir
ply appeared for Herkett and Attorney
John Hartzler for Marcus Davis. HOyt
Andrews, attorney for the state, en-
tered a noIle PROSE- against Herket
and be was released. The charge Of
the robbery being sustained against
Davis, Attorney Hartzler asked for a
ten days continuance in order to
secure dispositions Of Moses LoWin, Of !
Kansas City, who, as a witness, the
defense said, would testify that Marcus
Davis was a man Of good reputation,
and that the goods found in his Dos
session we're lawfully obtsined. The
court granted the continuance and set |

EHorus to Pass Pure Food Laws Opposed
% Ehe Alum Trust-Ths Speech OF
Senator VTanSn

Senator Mason's speech in the senate /
upon the subject Of pure food embraces
a clear statement Of the danger to /
which the public health is exposed
from alum baking powders.
The committee on manufactures were
some time ago directed to investigate
food authorizations, and at numerous
sessions In the principal cities accum-
ulated a volume Of testimony upon the
subject from the best informed parties
and highest scientific authorities IN
the country
One Of the greatest sources Of danger
to our foods, the committee stated IN
their report, exists In alum baking
powders. The committee found the
testimony, they say, overwhelmingly
cOndemnatOry Of the use Of alum in
baking powders, and recommended
that such use be prohibited by law.
Senator Mason, discussing the report
Of the committee and the several bills
introduced to carry the recommend
atiOns Of the committee into effect,
said:
'When we made this report We made
it based on the evidence before Us, and
the evidence is simply overwhelming.
I do not care how big a lobby there
may be here for the alum baking pow
der, I do not care how many memorials
they publish, there is no place in the
human economy Of human food for
this thing called alum. The over
whelming evidence Of the leading ply
sicians and scientists Of this country
is that it is absolutely unfit to go into
human food, and that in many cases
if the gentleman viii read the evidence,
some Of the physicians say they can
trace cases in their own practice-there
are diseases Of the kidneys due to the
perpetual use of alum in their daily
bread. want to give the senate an
idea Of the class Of men we have called.
They are the leading scientists from
every college in the United States that
we could get hold of. We had open
doors and no witness ever came before
the cOmmitte in the u months we were
hearing evidence but who was permit
ted to testify.
''The leading physicians Of the world
say that cream Of tartar is a pure, nat
ural, healthy food product. 1t is a
product Of the grape, and when it is
put In solution in the bread with soda,
if there is a residum left it does not
hurt the stomach and it does not 60
into nor injure the brain or the blood
or the kidneys.
f'When you mix a mineral poison, as
they all say that alum is, it is mpOs-
sible to mix it always to such a degree
that there viii not be a residuum left
Of alum, which produces aIumina and
which contributes largely to the di-
seases of the people in this country"
The senator then told the senate the
names Of about 500 prominent scient-
lists who testified condemning alum as
an ingredient Of any material used as
"a food

Five big men of the republican party
have been assigned fYe big tasks for
the Philadelphia convention. Senator
Hanna viii dictate the plank on the
trust question; Senator Fairbanks, who
has had charge Of the Canadian bound
airy negotiations, viii write the section
relating to that and the general do
nestle policy. To Senator Lodge has
been entrusted the plank on inter
national affairs, the Philippines, and
the attitude Of the government toward
the Beers and on world questions.
Senator WOlcOtt viii draft the fnan-
cial plank and Senator Foraker is try
ing TO devise a section that viii pass
muster on the stand the administration
has taken toward Porto Rico and the
constitution. This is the most difficult
problem The conclusions of the SEN
stors viii all be referred to the presi-
dent for final approval or blue pencil
ing before the convention meets. The
especial qualification of these men
resides in their rhetorical ability to
form squirting sentences" Plain
statements don't go.
