STRIKE IT RICH,

A press dispatch from Pueblo,
Co.,, under date Of the 10Th, has
the following to say Of a recent
deal in western iron lands in
which Fred Lerch, of this city,
and +. b. Dear, Of Hibbing, are
interested:
"Contracts have just been
closed with Minnesota owners
for someunewly discovered iron
ore fields in the southern part Of
Utah and Colorado. The lands
will be controlled by the Color
ado Fuel and Iron company.
They consist of eleven mining
claims in the iron country of
Southwestern Utah, 800 miles
from Pueblo. They were first
brought to the notice of iron men
from Minnesota two years ago,
when they were government
lands. These men, one Of whom
is R. B. Dear, a railway mining
contractor of prominence in Min
nesota, and another is Mr.Lerch.
chemist and assayist on the Me.
saba range. These associated
themselves with Col. Miner, a
mining man of Salt Lake. Since
then they have engaged in the
development of some twenty-five
claims. They also took up a
large tract of coal lands and
some limestone lodges. The coal
can be successfully cooked. Elev
en- ore claims and $40 acres Of
coal lands have been leased to
the Colorado compasy after pro-
tracted negotiations here. The
terms of the lease of the ore
lands are a royalty Of Is cents
per ton on an annual minimum
output of 100000 tons.
Since about ten months ago
knowledge Of the iron ore finds
in this district has been more or
less common property in this
city. Salt Lake is now in great
excitement and a force of pros
pectors is in the region. 1t was
somewhat surprised to find all
favorable locations covered by
others who had been working for

Back to His First Love.

Simon Goldburg, erstwhile health
officer, has concluded to abandon
politics and return to commercial life.
He believes it will be more protita BILE
and more satisfactory in all respects
than the wiles ard receptions to
which he has been subjected in the
past year. There is one particular
branch of business with which Simon
is familiar. while politics has been full
of cruel revelations for him. He,
therefore, prefers to endure those
evils that are the common lot than to
fly TO others he knows not of. Hence is
he hack in the laundry business.
He has taken the managem ent of
the Peoples laundry, at ia East Sew
epteenth street, and will be ready for
business in a few days. He has equip
ped the establishment throughout
with new machinery and will be glad
to receive the encouragement of his
old friends and as many new ones as
will give him their good will. Simon
claims to be one of Rock Islands
original laundrymen. He believes he
made a great sacrifice when he was
foolish enough to give up lucrative
business for politics and when he gets
firmly established again will never
more stray into unknown paths.

pleted. The total number of inbabi-
tants of the city under 81 years of

vatiVe multiple of three, this gives
the city the foregoing population.
While this is a gain of 10000 over

729. The totals are 3,97I males and
. 96l females, making a grand total
under II of 1882.
Gain In Two Years.
This shows a gain in two years of
269 males and 262 females, a total of
531. or an estimated increase in the
city's population in that period of L.
593.
The census was completed today by

HOPE IN BRYAN.
Beers Will Try to Hold Out
Until After the Election.

New York, May 2S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Intervention by the United States in
the South African war is still hoped for
by the Boer commissioners, and they
base their continuing faith on the posi-
BILE defeat of Mckinley for reelection
Looking far ahead, they figure that
while Lord Roberts may reach Pretoria
within ten days. the garrison can with
stand a siege until November. II Nc
Kinley is reelected, the collapse of The
war will be precipitated; if Bryan Is
elected, the Beers, the ythink will take
fresh courage, and hold out as long as
possible in the hope that he will give
them active support. With this idea in
view, the Boer commissioners are ex-
pected. after another visit 70 Europe,
following a two weeks tour of the west,
TO return to the United States in Sep
tember. to resume their efforts to create
sympathy for their cause.
According to the ENJOYS theories, Eur
ope stands ready to intervene if the
United States will lead the way. They
say they found, while on the continent,
that the powers were some of them or
posed to taking action because of fear
that the United States would throw its
support to Great Britain. The Beers
brief stay in this country and the re-
ports received from friends in the west
have convinced the delegates that the
United States would not actively aid the
