Local Miaing News.

There Are all kinds OF rumors
(and some may prove to be suhstan-
tial e~vidences) OF better times in
the mining field-not of the my
thical type, however, being about
due in this section. Salt Lake par.
ties are making examinations OF
properties in this vicinity with .
view, we understand, of bonding or
purcha ing. There are also several
other mining propositions under
heacway, and il they materialize we
r bound to see better times.
Some of our citizens are talking
of going ont on a prospecting trip
soon. Those that may go out we
wish all kinds of success and hope
their fortunes be made in the
rich and promising ravines and
hills in this vicinity, many of
which have heretofore been unex-
plored either by pan, rocker or pick

THE MCKINLEY SPECIAL.

The Southern Pacific management
has issued instructions to the several
diviiion supeintendents between San
Francisco aud Ogden detailing the
manner in which railway traffic will be
conducted on the day that President
and Mrs. Mckinley and party will
travel over the Central Pacific enroute
to the nations capital.
Superintendent j. s. Noble of the
Salt Lake division has notified Train :
master +. @. Smith at Wadsworth
and 7. F. Rowland at Ogden to have
all traffic suspended except that Of ma
terial importance on the day that the
Mckinley special passes over the di-
vision. The work trains will be aban
doned and any freight or ether train
that may happen to be on the road
must clear the special train at least
thirty minutes in advance of the
schedule. None but manifest trains
will be run at all on that day. All
switches in yards and at all blind sid
ings must be inspected TO ascertain
the condition of the locks thereon.
1t is the intention of the company
to have the best passenger crow. in
full uniform, in charge of the Presi-
dental train. The motive depart
ment has been instructed to have in
readiness a frst-class engine, equipped
with steel tires, and the engineer who
will handle the throttle must be n
whose record for c~arefulness is with
out question.
In view of these facts a record will
be established whereby some passenger
conductor will he considered the bon
ton and favorite ticket collector on the
division, while some ''eagle eye" will
be looked upon as the chief of all
throttle manipulators. Who these
fe rtunate personages will be in the
service Of the Southern Pacific on the
Salt Lake division remains to be seen

A meeting OF the Battle Noun
tain Improvement Association was
held in the NJ. e. Church last Fri
day afternoon but on account OF a
email attendance being present, and
also to give the committee on By
Laws further time to make their
report, it was moved and seconded
that the Association meet tonight,
Thursday, in the church. This
will give our business men a chance
to attend. The undertaking Of
making the Association a perma-

the assistance OF everyone in the

hoped that the attendance at the

An Enjoyable Party.

In response to Invitations issued,

parties OF the season took place in

ful manipulation IN the violin.
The morning hours came all too

that spirit of appreciation which
speaks volumes for the hostess, and
on leaving the hall the guests kind.

II some Of the young people Of this
place would only mediate on their
lack of Importance, the social con-
dition of this town would be much
improved. When boys and girls are
emerging from boyhood and girlhood
to manhood and ~womanhood, they are
very apt to think that the community
would be a social blank without their
presence. This thought pervades
their every action and results in petty
quarrels when they think their frail
feelings are attacked. II some of the
kindly but misguided parents would
vigorously apply the family slipper
instead Of catering to chickering's Of
their children, the latter would be
better fitted for life's battles. Elk.

The young people of Red Oak who
indulge in the dizzy waltz will hear
with inteies that the heads of Wash
ington and New York society have de-
Jared that "sitting out" embodies the
same position as dancing-the only
difference is that you sit instead Of
dance. The mans right arm is around
the girls waist, while has left holds
her right. Her left hand is placed
on his shoulder, while her head rests
lovingly on his bosom, and all they
have to do Is to sit and listen to the
music. Now that is something like it.
We have always regarded it as quite
a nuisance to have to gallop a mile or
two to get a hug or two. A room full
of people sitting around on sofas hug
ging to music is more to our notion.
This will give the old rheumatickly
brethren a chance to waltz. Most men
waltz not for the dance, but for the
pos ition, and while many may lose
his appetite for dancing he has got to
get powerfully old before he loses his
appetite for huqging a pretty girl

SIMON cuccEsHEIm TAILS.

Simon ~Guggenheim Of the executiy,
committee of the American Smeltin,
d Refining Company, who was at Den
yer recently, is quoted by the Post 0
that city as follows:
The owners of silver mines will b,
pleased to know that the smelling syn
dicate has taken a new attitude towar,
the silver market of the world. W,
anne to the conclusion that the silvet
product has q been properly handled
to obtain the best results. Every
thing was sold through the British
brokers, aud the smellers had to TAX,
what they could fer their product,
Hereafter We shall sell direct to the
consumer. This will mean the estab
fishing of banks in Chins, India, Japan
and other silver using countries, and
will also mean an advance In the price
OF silver. We shall be compelled, of
course, to hoard a great deal of silver,
but the new method will benefit all
concerned.
I'VE have agreed with several min
ers to share with them, they taking
two thirds and We one-third of the
excess over 60 cents an ounce, instead
OF raising the treatment price on sill
yer ores to the point at which it stood
when silver was higher. and which we
reduced in order to allow silver mining
To continue.
1T has been customary for years
for n Of large mines in Utah and
other parts Of the West, to enter into
three year and %iye.year contracts with
the smelters. Such contracts are Of
distinct advantage to the miner, be-
cause it is evidence hat the smelling
company has confidence in he perma-
nency of the mines, and that it will
not raise the smelling charges is part
of the contract. The purpose Of the
American Smelling and refining Com
pany is to build up the mining indus
try and to encourage the develo pment
ct mines. Our treatment charges will
be such that many low grade proper
ties will be developed. II is likely we
shall spend something like SO, COS, 600
improving the plant so that the low
grade ores may be handled.
The company has guaranteed to
the miners a price of 4 cents a pound
for lead ores. This has stimulated the
output, but il has been a burden to
the smelling company, as a great deal
OF money has been lost by the com
pany in selling lead TO foreign markets
at less than the guaranteed price. This
guarantee is therefore a hardship to
the American Smelling Company, bat
the company is making no complaint,
rs it will keep its pledges.
