morning direct from Salt Lake, and, in
company with Superintendent Dan II
Brighton, visited the Showers, making
a long and careful examination of the
underground conditions. particularly
on the 400 level. Recent development

with greater accuracy than ever the
general trend or pitch of the ore chute.

Foot Shaft.

The Tarbet syndicate has completed
sinking the shaft on the SmOkehOuse
property to a depth of 200 feet, where
station has been cut. Several cross
cuts are to be run before sinking is re-
sumed.
1t is expected that the Thornton
ledge will be cut within 100 feet in the
drift to be run north from the shaft.
Mr.. TaTbet does not known whether
the ledge will contain satisfactory
values or not so near the surface, but
that is to be determined by running to
it. If it meets the expectations Of him

continued on to the 500-foot level

In 1880 there were Is cities in the Uni
ted States with population of $4,000 or
more aggregating 9,917S2 in 1890 there
were 124 cities with $4,000 population or
more, aggregating 14,S34, ,691, and this
year there are 161 cities with popula-
tion of $4,000 or more, making a total
of 1850, 1884 This shows an increase Of
1887 per cent in the urban population
during the first decade, and S1.92 per
cent during the second decade. In other
words, the city population of the United
States has not increased so rapidly dur
ing the last ten years as it did dur
ing the previous ten years. This fact
surprises the statisticians. Some cities,
Ike Omaha and Sioux City, sprang up
like mushrooms between 1880 and 1890,
but were unable to sustain their popula-
ton during the hard times, and in 1898
began to fall back, others, like Mem
phis, did not wake up until 1890, and then
spread like the traditional banyan tree.
The cities showing the greatest increase
of population during the last ten years
and their percentage Of. increase are as
follows:

Memphis is the fastest growing town

the tenth census was taken, Seattle, Su-

with the exception or Albany ana troy
this decrease is moro apparent than
actual and is the result of the census
frauds committed in 1890, where there
was a great rivalry between neighboring
communities, and they are now suffering
the penalty. 1t is significant that there
has been no remonstrancc or complaint
in many of the cities named except AL
bany and an investigation has satisfied
everybody there that the original enumer-
alton was accurate. Lincoln, Omaha and
Sioux City. which have suffered the worst,
have not said word.
Several cities that appear in the
list of those that have increased COM
plain that they were not credited with
their full population; that errors were
made; that whole blocks were overlooked; ;
that a considerable percentage of the
population was out of town on the day
of the enumeration. and have taken the
trouble in several cases to make police
census, but in no case has the original
count been impeached to a degree suffi-
cient to justify RECOMMENDATION.
Experts expected that the urban popu
lation would show an enormous increase
during the last ten year 1t is the popular
IMPRESSION that most Of the immigrants
from foreign countries settle in the
cities; that the attractions of city life
draw people from the villages to work
in the shops and factories, and that the
boys and girls drift from the farms to
the centers of population to avail them
selves of the larger opportunities offered
to the ambitious. Brf this impression
seems to be exaggerated. The farm popu-
lation has increased during the last ten
years in about the same proportion as
that of the cities, although the number
of mechanical industries employing labor
has nearly doubled. In 1890 $50, 0C0 man
ufac.uring establishments we're reported; ;
this year the number is SCI ,221.
