Quaint, Queer and Curious Salt Lake

The late Col. John Cockerell in
The Cosmopolitan said, There are
three unique cities in America, and
one of these is Salt Lake City" 1t is
not only unique in its temple, tabner-
nacle and other Mormon church insti-
buttons, but quaint in appearance,
with its wide streets, immense blocks
and martial rows of shade trees. it
has. perhaps, more attractions to the
square yard than any city in the
country, and its climate. while temp
crate all the year around. is partic-
ularly delightful in summer. The
Great salt Lake, with its magnificent
saltair resort, where the water is
"deader and denser" than that in the
Dead sea in Palestine, is an attraction
in itself that people come miles 10
wpsee. There are many cool NOON
tain and lake resorts near by, also
numerous pretty canon and park
drives. and hot sulphur springs. Fish
ing and hunting can be had in every
direction. The tr2p from Denver 20

DEATH OF PRINCE oURoUssoFF.
CBy Associated Press.

Paris. Aug. 6.--The French foreign
office as matter of course, express
sed deep regret at the death of Prince
ouroussoff. Russian ambassador to
France. which occurred quite sudden
ly last week. but as a matter Of fact
the news OF the taking off Of the lit
tie old dinlomat was received with
considerable relief in official circles.
Prince ouroussoff had never been
popular II Paris and in fact IL is said
that request for his recall was re-
solved upon by President Loubet two
years ago, though ftr political rea-
sons It was pigeon holed for the time
being. The in against the prince at
that time was caused by the report
that the failure Of the car to pay his
promised visit to the Paris exposition
was entirely due to the arguments
and representations Of hfs ambassa-
dor at Paris, who in the affair acted
altogether in accordance with the
wishes and views OF the Nationalist
party. that is to say, with the party
most fiercely opposed to the present
French government
Although he was in the service for
many years and was favorite at the
Russian court, Prince Ouroussoff new
or did anything sNperlativel byrilliant
in the diplomatic world. The prince
was a little hit of man and was a
nephew and portege of old Prince
Gortschakoff who for so many years
was chancellor of the Russian EN-
pire. His mother was rrincesF
Rasziwill and his father one of the
aids de camp of Alexander II. The
hate ambassador served IN Bucharest
and at Brussels as minister plenipo
tentiary, filing in between times the
position of grand master of The house
hold TO Grand Duke Michae.. Prince
ourousson left a widow, who IS 'h'
daughter and heiress of~old AhhaHa
the Russian banker, whit died as min
lister OF finance.

Extensive Finds Made in the oeolog,-
cal Survey.
Norman, okla, Aug. S.-Last week
the Oklahoma geological survey party
worked in Caddo, Riowa and Washi-
IA counties. The work consisted in
tracing out certain formations in that
region, with particular reference to
he geology of the plains along the
northern base of the Wichita noun
tains. The heavy ledge Of gypsum in
the southeastern corner of Roger
Mills county that was noticed earlier
in The season was again visited and
traced through the southwestern part
Of washita county, past Cloud Chief
and seger and into Custer county, to
weatherford.
This is one of the most prominent
hedges in Oklahoma. its northern ex-
posure. 50 far as known, is near
Richmond, in southern Woodward
county. From there il extends south
and across the South Canadian at Ia
iloga. It runs up this river as far as
Turkey creek, in Day county. On the
Washita 1t is exposed from Mountain
View. on the edge of Kiowa county,
to the eastern part of Roger Mills
county. It occupies the greater part
of Dewey and Custer, and perhaps
third of washita counties. In the
valley of Elk Creek ii is not well ex'
posed. but appears again on the north
fork Of Red river, at Cedar Tpp blum
ncrth of Granite and extends through
Greer county into Texas.
The thickness of these ledges in
places surprised the geologists. In
eastern washita county, for instance
there are from three to fve ledges
each averaging from five to twenty
feet in thickness. In a well near Sc
ger 1l5 feet Of gypsum was found
in a single ledge.
The party expects to travel through
ta, northern part of Caddo county
mis- week. The object Of the weeks
work will be to study the caddo coun
tv butt5s and race out some ledgei
OF sandstone and gypsum that are
known to occur in that region.
