The Rome correspondent OF The

the failure Of Judge Taft's negotiations
with the vatican is attributed there to
the influence of the heads Of the relig-

Taps Sounded for Gen. Norman.

New Orleans, Dec. 17.-Gcncral
Norman, adjutant general Of the
United Confederate Veterans. died
suddenly last night, aged G1 years.
lie was on the staff Of Forrest and
other Confederate leaders during the
war, earning many special mentions,
and was commander of Moorman's s
cavalry battalion.

General Moorman was G1 years of
age and native of Mississippi. After
the war he was for some time com
missioner of immigration from Louis
lana. General Norman took the
leading part in the consolidation Of
all the Confederate veteran associa-
tions into one and finally succeeded in
bringing about the organization OF the
United Confederate Veterans. From
small beginnings the association has
grown until it now includes nearly all
the old soldiers of the southern side
army of the civil war. General Moor
man was chosen adjutant general,
position he held from the time Of the
organization Of the association.
The funeral arrangements for Gen
eral Moorman were completed to-day

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 1.-THE ccnven-
ton which was called by the Dallas
Commercial Club for the discussion Of

Professor W. d. Hunter, United

appeal will be issued for State and

Reports from Texas tell of the

Now 1T has reached a point not far
from the Red River line, and the pos

been seriously considered.
Experts from the agricultural de-

Secretary Blaine's Foresight.

(P T. McGrath in the December Atlantic)
Mr.. Blaine was influenced by several
considerations of special moment in es-
pOusing the policy of reciprocal trade in
fish between the republic and this islar :,
First ne recognized that NeWfOundla
by her bait, controlled the situation, add
that if France, with a fishing base right
near cur coast. was unable 10 cope with
US. the Americans. who would be 1000
miles from their own territory. would be
less altogether. Second he was aware
that Newfoundland, because of her in
sular position. her rernoteness. and the
varying character of her fishery pur-
suits. would not ship very largely to the
American market. This demands its own
cure of fish, which the NewfoundlandeTs
DO not practice. All the cod we take on
Labrador and the northern coast is cured
specially for the European markets. and
is sent there direct, so that only the fish
taken on our northern Seaboard. and Il
portion of the lobster catch, would be
forwarded to New England for sale.
Third he foresaw that by an arrange
ment with Newfoundland the American
fishermen would be released completely
from ali dependence upon Canada. and
be able to disregard any hostile enact
mentS she might propose.

WITH a production of gold. silver.
w copper and lead nearly 81, 100000
in value, with dividends amount
ing to s5,O25, 500, with the formation Of
191 new companies and an investment
of not less than IS, 600 in new under
takings, the year 1902 closes a record in
the mining industry unparalleled in the
history of the state.
The showing is all the more remark
able because the prices Of both silver
and copper have ruled lower and very
unsteady.
Nearly every other mining state has
felt the brunt of the unsettled cOndi-
tion of the metal markets keenly, par
ticularly Colorado and Montana, and
the fact that Utah has not only es-
capped damage, but made great strides
forward, is attributable to various
causes.
In the first place the mines of this
state, as a rule, carry the various met
ais in combination. Associated with
the copper ores is either gold or silver
and often both in such percentages that
the copper costs absolutely nothing and
from that to only or cents per pound
to produce. In the silver camps, So
called, lead increases in percentage as
depth is attained, while copper and
gold come in as strong by-product.
This fact is made very apparent in the
mines of Park City, and what is prov
ing true there is also being demon
strated in other camps of the state.
Labor Conditions Good.
In the second place labor conditions
are ideal. The operator and the miner
work together in perfect harmony
good wages are paid and excellent serv-
ice is rendered. Transportation facili-
ties are good and constantly being i'm
proved, while fuel, wood and water are
nearly everywhere abundant.
In addition to these most favorable
conditions to profitable mining, Utah is
fast becoming the recognized center of
the smelling industry of the entire
west, and the admirable facilities now
afforded in that field are constantly be-
ing added to, the resultant competition
beingsO no small moment to the pro-
Queer.
These are the principal reasons why
Utah's mining industry is growing so
rapidly. and why it will continue to
grow and thrive.
Salt Lake is now recognized as the
central supply point for all this inter
mountain region. The mining and
milling machinery houses. lumber and
contracting firms are the best in the
country and. with the railroads reach
mining districts of Idaho, Nevada,
Wyoming and Colorado accompanied
by the telephone and the telegraph
wires. mining operators, experts and

The record of production of the va

past year shows that silver has pre-
: dominated, the second largest increase
occurring in lead. The production of
gold also shows a healthy growth

DEEP CREEK

N EEP CREEK, that wonderful min
eral- bearing region skirting the
Great American desert on the
south and southwest, and extending
from Dugway, in Juab county. to Dutch
mountain, in TOoele county, on the
west side of the desert, appears to be
on the verge of boom. Isolated from
railroad transportation, it has been
held back for twenty years or more, but
now its day of deliverance appears to
be at hand.
Wealthy, powerful and energetic men
have become interested in its mines,
and within the past few weeks an as
sociation of a few less than 100 opera
tors OF that section has been formed
for the purpose of better bringing its
resources to the attention of the out
side world. These are and have been.
pouring their money into the country
for years past, and they are now shap-
ing matters to the end that one of the
railroad companies which has it's sur
veys extended through the districts
may be induced to build and thus make
it possible for them to market their
ores.
Experts representing the railroad
companies and others representing the
smelling and investing interests have
spent considerable time in the country
during the season, and at the present
moment two or three outfits of this
! character are making investiga tions.
That something will be done during the
next few months to set the ball rolling
seems assured.
The great extent and prospective
value of the wonderful mineral zones
which traverse the several districts
are becoming much better known and

MERCUR

11O STARTLING changes have been
NJ rung in.the scenes about the once
hustling camp of Mercur since the
big fire which destroyed three-fourths
OF the town last summer. The burned
district has only been partially rebuilt
and until a revival takes place in the
ranks of the numerous companies
which were at one time operating
there. it is not to be expected that the
Camp. in a business sense, will take on
any great Importance.
At the present time, the Consolidated
Mercur. Sacramento, Sunshine, Ingot
and Northern Light companies are the
only ones operating. with the latter OF
these doing next to nothing. The low
grade gold ores of the camp are con-
stantly becoming better understood,
however, and it may be taken for
granted that the day is not distant
when a number of the properties long
since abandoned because of the diff
culties and expense attaching to the
saving of values. will be taken hold of
again and operated at a profit.
The Consolidated Mercur. with its
splendidly equipped 1,000ton mill, has
been experiencing the most successful
years run in its career, while devices
now being experimental with at the
great plant are expected to result in
the saving of at least 40 cents a ton
more ct a little or no additional cost
in operating. This viii mean $500 a
day TO the cOmpany-$12 600 per month,
or enough to pay an extra or double
dividend every quarter. During the
wear some wonderful bodies Of ore have
been developed in new territory and the
record of 1903 should exceed that of the
year Just closed.
Under the management of George
Moore. the Sunshine has been devel-
oped into a big mine and while he has
not made the success of the mill that
he would like to have done, ne has
learned enough about the peculiaritles
of the ore to feel fully justified in prom

along that the company announced q

going through the mill daily and the
prospects for a successful seasons run
