Reporting Mines for Sale.

1t must be borne in mind that min
ing proposition of any kind is bought,
in this day and generation, as purely
business venture, the question of dol
lars and cents being carefully and SER
iously considered by contracting par
ties. The old haphazard hit or miss
manner of entering into mining spec
ulation has given way to close weigh.
ing of the chances of success or of
failure in the proposition, and pur-
chasers look at assays rather than to
the mixed and jumbled up aggregation
OF high-stilted words purporting to de-
scribe the true inwardness and height,
length and breadth of mining grounds.
Many written reports of mining
properties will give the reader the
chapter and verse of matters in which
he has no interest. One Is told not
only the name of the discoverer, but
where he was born, when he came west,
his trials and tribulations in the mln-
ing regions, how he happened to find
and locate his claim, how much he
thought of it and why he wished to
dispose of it. The seeker for informa-
ton respecting the prospect or mine is
told all about the surrounding scenery,
its beauty and attractiveness, and
much other data as equally uuinter-
esting, but little is said about the very
| things he most wishes to know.
The writer of mining propositions
should understand that 1t is facts and
facts alone which most impresses the
mining man. 1t goes without saying
that brief mention of the location OF
the property should be made, reference
to the country rock, the trend of the
ore vein and its character, the dip OF
inclination of the vein, the character
of the hanging and foot walls, the
and its values, and the amount OF
development made upon the claim
Those should all be told in plain Ian
guage in which exaggerations canno
find place Then the climate and al
titude of the country may be touched
upon, the title to the property, whether
held under patent or by possessory
right should be given, the proximity o
timber and running water, cost of min
ing and milling and wages should en-
J ter into the report. IL an establishes
: mine its developments, improvements
buildings, etc. should not be omitted
In "writing up" mining propert
the point to be made is to impress fa
! vorably those who may desire to puI
chase or to seek locations in this vicir
ity. But the writer should be conserv
ative in all his statements. Exaggera
tions don't go" in these latter days
} the element of truth should projec

Talked of the War.

The other night a Dago aBd a Chinaman
were holding a heated discussion on the
corner of Second South and State streets.
For a time it was difficult OF tell what the

a manner never before heard

AN IMPORTANT EXPEDITION.

It is an important expedition that
President Cluf &C the B. Y. academy
is leading from Utah to Chile, equipped
as it is for leisurely travel. deliberate.
exploration, self sustenanee, scientific
investigation. obtaining views Of the
country through which the journey is
made and forming an acquaintance
with the fora, fauna and native popu-
lation oe the widest sections OF the
new world.
The cave5 and cliffs Of Arizona the
relics of extinct civilization found all
the way from Castlegate to Cave val
ley in Mexico, the marvellous and mys-
ferrous architectural wonders of Yucca
tan, the unexplored wilderness eff tropi-
cal South America, the almost impene-
trabIe fastnesses of the Andes-these
are among the wonders Of prehistoric
civilization ara modern savagery that
those hunters, wagoners, artists, scribes
and professors hope to see.
Many difficulties stand in the way

tropics win surround the secret charms
of nature with trochas. But the party
IS composed Of hardy, experienced men,
inHred to out door hardships and ey-
perienced in mountain travel.
If the expedition is successful, mar
vels equal to those of interior Asia may
be brought to light. Many biologists
hold America to be the oldest of the
continents, and therefore likely
to have been the first to de-
velop animal life. It may be
here that the evolution OF man from
a lower order was completed. We may
yet ascertain that the wisdom Of coun-
tries generally considered the birth
place of civilization and the cradles of
learning came from a portion Of the
American continent now regarded az
little better than a wilderness.
There are wonderful sights and ex-
perienees in store for those adventur-
Gus Utah students; it is hoped they will
have wonderful secrets to reveal upon
their return.

CAPTURE OF A SULTAN.

To an officer in General Bates command
in the Philippines is attributed the follow
ing story of our new fellow citizen, the
sultan of Sulu:
The Charleston 1t seems, was sent 20
take possession Of the Sulu ISLANDS, but
me commander Of that ship, preIeiring
peaceable means to warlike measures,
sent a cordial invitation 70 the fuef OF
the group. asking him to come ABOARD LOT

ceptad and on his arrival alongside the
ship was Saluted with seventeen guns,
which so fiattered his self-esteem tnat ne
stepped on deck swellng with pride ana
puffed 10 with Importance. With much
emDregsement the distinguished guest was
conducted to the captains CABIN ana
seated where the breeze Of an electric
fan fen full upon him. Wonterlngly ne
Deered around to see where the nlyStefl-
Gus breeze came from. and finally MS
INTERPRETER asked the cause for the re-
freshing wind when the air was quHe
still outside. The ran was brought ana
pIaced in front of the sultan Delighted
beyond measure, he watched its revolving
and questioned the officers about this
WOTElerfU machine which could create
breezes that should come only from
heaven. Would It stop some time, or
would it go on forever
BLOW on it, he was instructed. The
machine is entirely under your cohtfOi
and viii co your bidding"
The sultan blew his royal breath. Wnen
Iot the fan stopped. Aghast at his power,
ne asked The officers eagerly what should
be done to start it again. BLOW once
more" he was told. and at his breath its
whirring began. Carried away by this
new experience. his royal highneSs played
with the toy until the engineer, concealed
from view, must nave become weary with
turning the current on and off at the
within of the astOnished padishah.
Before he had tired of the fan the cleo
trio lights were shown to him, ana he was
permitted to turn them on and of by

him, but It was trick, a joke; it was in
a strange language; he would see. His
interpreter was instructed TO talk to it..
Here was a wonder indeed; the thing

of his secretary in the same tone of
voice even. Would they give this won

The EXPECTED VERDICT.

The prompt acquittal Of Captain Mills
was not unexpected. No American jury
is apt to convict a man who acts under
the impression that he is defending the
honor Of his home And everything
goes to show that Captain Mills be-
Heved sincerely that O'Melveney had
wronged him.
He had a statement from his wife to
that effect, and, whether she was
worthy Of belief or not, he believed her,
trusted her after she had betrayed his
trust, and unQuestionably acted upon
an honest conviction that the man she
named had accomplished her ruin.
Captain Mills is a free man. His was
the act of a wr0nged husband who saw
no other course open to him. Men are
allowed to take the law into their own
hands in this state, and the righteous
ness Of the statute none dispute. But
men should exercise some caution. as
courts are required to, and not convict
and execute their fellow men without a
hearing. It is dangerous in a high de-
gree for husbands to kill people whom
capricious women or their own Jealous
suspicious indicate as deserving Of such
a fate While in some cases the retri-
button might prove just. there is al
ways a chance, where the parties are
not caught f1agrante delicto. of making
irreparabIe mistakes. Even the elab-
crate and cumbrous machinery of mod
ern justice slips a cog sometimes.

The oRPHEUs CLUB.

The concert given the other evening
by the Orpheus club was at once a
popular and artistic success-one of a
long series upon which the splendid
reputation Of the organization rests.
The high quality Of these entertain
ments and the unmistakabIe appreci-
alton with which they are invariably
received are testimonials, not only to
the taste and talent Of the club. but to
the critical Judgment Of the patrons
and the salt Lake public. It is doubt-
full If a more appreciative audience

ANTICS OF MAN-MoNKEYs.

Cincinnati newspapers contain an
account Of the daring feat Of a reckless
crank who recently climbed a high
steeple in a gale Of wind. Several years
ago a professional climber assembled to
the pinnacle Of the highest tower in
the city with a newspaper reporter on
his back who made the round trim in
safety and lived to write one Of the
finest descriptions OF the city and sur
roundings that ever found its way into
print. AS a matter Of fact the reporter
was 50 near sighted that ne couldn't
see the end of his nose, but his knowl-
edge Of local geography was good and
his descriptive faculty was abnormally
developed.
brooklyn bridge jumpers and other
half-developed human beings who re-
peat the antics Of their monkey ances-
tors with skill and beastiy relish, to
the horror Of more hum&mzed specta-
tors, are no longer looked upon as brave
but as idiotic. There was a time when
the public was interested in such
monkey-shines and made ovez' the per

ANOTHER OUTBREAK FEARED.

Another epidemic is threatened. It
IS a worse complaint than variOla. 1t
IS very oily. The patients lie in a cold

have been discovered in the g0dbug
camp The technical term by which the
ailment is designated is congressional
fever.

of his way to needlessly expose himself
to the contagion. The only immune in
the crowd is Alma Eldredge, who had a
virulent spell a little over a year ago.
1t is said that he survived but came
out of the ordeal a badly marked man.
The pits and pitfalls Of the disease left
impressions on him that he VIII carry

to be formally buried.
Among the earlier symptoms Of the
malady are loss of appetite, inability
to sleep alone, desire to shake hands

how the land lays. and an overpower-
ing sense Of duty to ones country

this until a crisis is reached when the

Compulsory vaccination has been
suggested as measure of Drecaution
against a general outbreak. but the
gentlemen named absolutely refuse to
submit to a surgical operation, it is
said, preferring to have the fever,
rather than surrender their personal
liberties.
Then, some objection has been raised
to the surgeon general of the Hanna
forces. DR.. Lannan is liable TO an at
tack of congressional fever himself,
they say. in which event incubation
would be more apt to result from his
services than vaccination. If DR.. Ian
nan should be taken down a splendid
opportunity would be presented to the
editor of our evening contemporary to
try his powers and lay hands on the
Storm Starter-not toe violently, but
with the best interests Of the COM
munity always in view.
In the meantime a strict quarantine
should be enforced and all suspects
eonspicuously labeled so that no mis-
understandings may arise when the
state convention opens the Republican
hospital for business.
