SYSTEM LACKING EVERYWHERE.
At the time of the collapse Of the
English companies operating IN Alta
the price OF silver declined and the
companies not involved in the long, te-
dious scige Of litigation We're put out
of business. In addition to this, system
was lacking I'm development and in min

Leasers have worked on properties in
the Cottonwood regions since the great

of recovery were In evidence until with

Tony jacobson. manager Of the Column

Cottonwood district and the American
Fork district form extensions 10 the
great mineral zone of Park city, the
formations ms well as the character Of
the ores being very much similar.
Upon this subject Arthur i. Snow n
Salt Lake mining engineer and secre-
tary OF the Columbus Consolidated, has
placed himself on record. as follows.

Flagstaff, Prince Of Wales and many
other properties Of less renown and

came out, the camp went to pieces and
II remained In idleness until recently.
But in the meantime English capital
purchased other properties, including
the famous Flagstaff mine.
sTlLLWELL's EARLY HISTORY.
Probably no one knows more about
the early history OF Alta than John q.
Stillwell. who was resident Of the
camp Of Mia during its earliest his
tory and isaoday the postmaster and
leading merchant Of the town. Mr..
StlllEell worked behind hammer and
drill In the Emma, also In the Flagstaff
mines and while the district was the
busiest in the 70's he served the Flag
staff as bookkeeper and held that po-
sition up TO the time Of the eclipse.
Many mines were operated then in the
Little and Big cottonwoods and
great deal Of expensive machinery was
Installed at the principal properties,
Only ruins are left to tell Of the eXls-
tence of these costly works and many
of them have been swept off the face
Of the earth by snow slides.
BUSIEST IN 1872.
Alta was probably the liveliest, ac-
cording to what Mr.. Stllwell says, in
1872 for in the fall of that year an cleo
tion was held and more than 1000 ball
lots were cast, so Alta proper and the
contiguous camps, contained n popu-
lation Of probably $500 people.
PRODUCTION OF EMMA LODE.
The principal producing mines located
along the Emma lode were the Emma
Flagstaff, Vallejo and North Star, South
Star and Nabob, and they are credited
with an output conservatiyely estimat-
ed, Mr. Stilwell says, of $l6 $50, 900, APP
portioned as follows;

MILLIONS FROM OTHER VEINS.

veins produced several millions of doll

PLOT A DEEP ONE.
An eastern paper which professed to
be well informed on events OF the times,
declared that there were features of
the Emma deal which made II one
of the most notable trasactiOns OF It's
kind ever known, and from its pages
the following is quoted:

A Minister'S LabOrs.

From an Open let in August Century
Apart from the labors that fruit in
to pulpit ministration and pastoral
and public service, is no accounting to
be made of the mental strain and
the spiritual travail which are an
inalienable part of the ministerial
calling2 Not only does the minister
carry on his heart the sorrows Of a
great many persons who look to him
for succor, but there are hours when
the tide of his own faith GIBBS. Is a
minister's fight with his doubts worth
anything to the world2 Because he
always seems sure of his hold ON the
eternal verities, is it to be thought
that he is content to pass on to others
a merely traditional faith, instead of
one that has been wrought out in
long hours of painful questioning and
wrought at last triumphantly into the
very texture of his own life2 The
effort which minister makes to
keep and broaden, to intensity and
make real, his own faith, to adjust
it to the growing light of science, is
as necessary and as noble part of
his work as anything that he does.

She Was Miss Carnegie.

A small procession, says The New York Times. went into a florists shop on Fifth Avenue last week which attracted the attention of all the customers in the place. There was a nicely dressed young woman, presumably q governess. anoth- CT who was ladies' maid, a footman, and last, but by no means least, a private detective. In the midst of all these grown people was one tiny little girl, simply gowned. She took great interest in the floral display and went around to the different stands and counters admiring them. But never, for moment did the retinue of four allow her out of their sight, They screened her from general observation and crowded about her With the advice of the governess, the child made some trifiing purchases. A carriage outside was waiting on her. and the re- tinue preceded and closed in. To a gen eral inquiry the shopkeeper answered.:
 That is little Miss Carnegie, and she Is never allowed to go out without a body guard. A private detective is always near her. You know the children of the very rich may be kidnapped any day and held for ransom. She is very intelligent and knows just what she wants to pur- chase"
 And some one remarked that the life of such d child was surrounded with more state than that of European prin- cess and that she should grow up. always to be followed by a retinue, and never to be alone, was a fate which hardly compensated for large fortune.
