thing of strength and beauty. The
United States does violence to this &C.
cepted theory. based upon the teachings
of history. This country shows NO

said to have sprung full-armed from the
brow Of Jove, thirteen small struggling.
loyal, devoted colonies of Great Britain,
quick as lightning flash. became .
nation and took its place rs such among
the independent soversignties of earth.
This was brought about by the rhe-
torical genius Of single man, supple
mented, to be sure, with . general sup.
porting sentiment that the time was
come for the ripening Of a new fruit
upon the tree Of nations. Three Of the
brightest masters of English in the
colonial congress were chosen as COM
mittee to draft declaration which
should express the feeling of congress
and of the people towards the mother
country. Jefferson, youngest Of the
three, adroit prestidigitatcr Of words,
did his work SO masterfally that his
associates kept their drafts from sight
and accepted the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence offered by the youthful
| Virginian.
1t is this Declaration which the
Fourth of July is designed to commem-
crate. The document contains not One
doubtful sentiment. Its English. while
sonorous and rhythmic, is mighty with
the strength Of perspicuity. He who
runs may read and understand. The
one superruling sentiment is that the
oppressed colonists were, and of right
should be, independent and = seperate
people.

ELEVEN CARS
OF PIC COPPER.
Represents the Production Of High
land Boy for Month.
ORE FROM LOWER MAMMOTH
shows Naive Silver ogden onyx
strike In the Copper
Glance.

Eleven cars Of pig copper in one
month may not seem an extraordinary
output to those acquainted with the
shipments from the big copper produce
ers Of the world, but eleven cars Of cop
per from Utah mine In a month Is
cause for congratulation, as the COPPER
industry is comparatively new In Utah,
The above shipments. weighing approx
lmately Gsl,O0O pounds, have gone to the
refinery at Perth Amboy, New Jersey,
during the present month, and there Is
a possibility, said Manager Poland to-
day that the number may be increased
TO ~ cars, or over 720 900 pounds by to-
morrow No estimate can be formed Of
the value OF such shipments. Though
the pig copper is known to carry gold
and other metals. the relative amount
Of each is kept profound secret. II
has been stated that preparations are
being made 90 double the output Of the
smelter in the spring. and every assur-
ance Is expressed by those who have
visited the mine that the property can
easily stand the drain on Its
ore reserves that an increased smeter
capacity viii necessltate. President
A. G. Burrage Of the Utah Consolidated,
or Highland Boy as II Is known at
home, was expected TO arrive from
Butte today on tour Of inspection. 1t
Is said he has not visited the property
since the smelter was put In commits
sion and It Is thought his present visit
has some connection with the proposed
smelter enlargement.

FINE ONYX NEAR OGDEN.
Number of Tests Show IL to be SUI
perior to Mexican Onyx.

A correspondent Of the Salt Lake Mn
ins Review writes as follows concern
lDg Oglen onyx:
About twenty miles north OF ogden
city there is an extensive onyx de-
deposit owned By Ogden men, which is,
undoubtedly. one OF the finest deposits
In the United States. The owners have
done over $3.50 worth Of development
work on the property but none OF the
material has ever been put on the mar
ket owing to the lack Of means BY the
owners 70 procure the necessary ma
chinery FOR saving and polishing the
product. Now, however, a company Is
being organized to develop the property
and saw and polish the onyx for the
market. The stock Of this company Is
being taken largely by ogden men, and
1t Is expected that a mill viii be in
operation by the first Of May.
The onyx has been tested by the
United States treasury department at
the WATERFOWL arsenal, and pronounced
entirely satisfactory. Tests OF the
material have also been made by the
experts Of several OF the eastern whole
sale onyx and marble houses and their
reports are unanimous to the effect
that the ogden onyx Is superior TO the
Mexican onyx In texture and quality
Another decided advantage which the
Ogden onyx has Is that It Is quarrled In
sizes which saw up into slabs 2X5 feet
and even larger without flaws or blow
holes. The coloring Is varied and rich
and the markings and traoings deli
cate and beautiful Many onyx ex-
perts who have seen the display, which
Is on exhibition In the law Office Of A.
B, Hayes. pronounce II as beautiful as
any they have ever seen.
