will Reside in Utah.

Samuel Newhouse, who has been
technically resident of Utah for a
long time, is in the future to make
his home in that state and is now
having a fine residence built in Salt
Lake City. Hereafter he expects
to spend most of his time in the
Mormon metropolis and from that
point manage his various interests.
Mr.. Newhouse is preparing to
develop the copper interests of
Utah on an extensive scale and
plans have been drawn up for spend
ing several million dollars in that
industry. He will operate the
Cactus properties located near
Frisco, in the southern part of Utah.
He has been developing these
properties on a small scale for
some time and the indications were
so favorable that a new company
was organized for the purpose of
going into it on a larger scale.
The name of this new company
is the Newhouse Mines and Smelter
company. Mr.. Newhouse stated
when in Denver that he had just re-
ceived cablegram from London
announcing that a syndicate had
agreed to take the bonds of a COM
pany he was organizing, but he
declined to state for what purpose
or where this money was to be used.
1t now developes that it was the
bonds of the Newhouse Mines and
Smelter company which were sold
and that the money will go to the
development of the copper industry
of Utah. The plans are to erect
smelters and do their own refin-
ing.
A few years ago it was said that
there was no copper in Utah, but
Senator A. B. Lewis made a few
discoveries which have given favor
able results. Since then the devel-
opment shows that the southern
part of the state was rich in this
mineral and Newhouse obtained
control of some of the most i'm
portant groups of properties. He
and Senator Lewis are not working
together, however, and their inter-
ests are with different concerns.
The attorneys of Mr.. Newhouse in
this city state that Senator Lewis
iron ore properties are also distinct
from the Newhouse interests.
Mr.. Newhouse during recent
years has spent most of his time in
New York, but the growth of his
holdings in Western enterprises
has made his return to the west
necessary Republican.

next week move into its new quarters.

and friends took advantage of the
prevailing fine weather, and they
spent very pleasant day across
the divide in our neighboring city.
The scene of the picnic was laid
in Soda creek where the lunches of
the party were spread and where
formalities were dispensed with
each one sharing their baskets with
the others so that it made a very
jolly gathering, and so far we
haven't heard of any one being
sick from the mixture of good
things. A large number of the
party went in to take their annual
at the swimming pool, and some
very interesting sights were fur
nished according to the latest re-
ports by the wireless system, but
fortunately everything passed off
without mishap of any kind. AT
the Trocadero in the afternoon
there was dancing for the juveniles
and Mesdames McCallister, Alt
water and Noonan were the judges
on the two-step competition, and
their awards gave general salts
faction, of course it was official.
A mum Der of the party took drives
ard walks in the different parts of
the section, and goodly number
of the male portion of picnickers
were taken up to the city by City
Marshal O'Rourke, prince of
good fellows. This section of the
picnic was headed by our city
marshal, Bob Wilkinson, and at
first it was thought by some of the
picnickers that the male portion
had been arrested under suspicion
that they were union men or mem
bers of the citizens alliance, but
such fears turned out to be ground
less, the gentlemen being taken up
to the Elks hall where they were
literally treated to elks milk and
other favored refreshments, and
were afterwards taken for a tour
around the city, it being remarked
that the wet goods establishments
were the most patronized of any.
At any rate the boys had a good
time during their enforced 90 alb
sence from the other mem bers of
the picnic and no complaints fol-
lowed, or at least we have not
heard of any up to this time.
They returned to this city be-
tween the hours of six and eight
o'clock and it has been voted one
of the most pleasant outings ever
given under any patronage from
this county, and it is hoped that
the affair will be made an annual
one. Among those who particip-

DEATH OF NOTED
DENVER PIONEER

Denver, Aug. 3l.-Dr. Frederick
Steinhauer died at his home, 1865
Clarkson street, at 12:1o yesterday
morning, OF cholera morbus. He was
one OF the founders OF the Denver
school system and the State School of
Mines, and was the oldest druggist in
Denver. For many years he was in
partnership with DR.. Walbrach and
their drug store was the leading one OF
Denver He was born in Odenheim,
Baden, May %, 1895, and came to
America when Is years old, settling in
New Orleans. For time he was con-
nected with the United States coast
survey at Philadelphia, and took up his
residence in Denver in 1864. The fol
lowing year he went to Europe, and
after his return remained continuously
in business in Denver. He was a mem
Der of the territorial legislature and
was asked to accept the lieutenant gov
ernorship with Governor Pitkin, but de-
clined. Governor Pitkin made him
president of the trustees of the State
School of Mines which position he re-
tanned from 1878 to 1899 At the time
he went on the board the school was
chiefly on paper, and DR.. Steinhauer
was largely responsible for its develop
ment. AS member of the legislature
in 1SG7-S he sent to Europe for seed of
the sugar beet, believing this product
would grow in Colorado. The expert
ment did not prosper at that early day,
but DR.. Steinhauer was nevertheless the
pioneer in the sugar beet industry.
The doctor took the deepest interest
in the establishment and development
of the Denver schools. He was mem
ber of the school board from 1883 to
1892. He was out from 1892 until 1899,
when he was reelected and remained
member until his death. In 1891 and
1892 he was president of the board and
In 1873 served as secretary. The Den
yer schools are indebted to him for
many of their best features and for
thirteen years of faithful service. SUI
perintendent Aaron Cove says of him:
He was a most important factor in
the city schools. although his most
prominent educational work was in the
State School of Mines He was con-
nected with the school from its estab-
lishnent until he was removed by Gov
ernor Thomas. He gave both that
school and the public schools of Den
yer a great deal of thought A more
honorable, faithful and lovely character
never knew. He was friend OF
every teacher, yet always so eminently
fair in all controversies as to satisfy
both sides. His death is to me great
personal loss"

GENERAL MILES WOULD HAVE
THE CAVALRY FORCE REDUCED

Washington, Aug. 29-The last of
fetal utterance of Lieut.. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles has been made public through
unofficial sources in the War Depart
ment.
General Miles makes a number of
important suggestions in the remodel
ing of the army organization. He pro
poses to minimize the cavalry branch
and to equip strong corps OF war mo-
tor cycles and armed automobiles in
its place. He favOrs mounted rifemen,
but says the horse is far less impor-
tant than formerly and that the auto
mobile will take its place in the next
war.
one of his most important recon-
mendations is the establishment of a
road-building corps of 5000 men as
a nucleus to construct military roads
y time of peace and to cooperate with
state authorities in the movement
He would have the corps fully
equipped with modern road-building
machinery and begin at once the work
of improving the principal highways
that have military and strategic i'm
portance.
. The marvellous Developments in
modern arms-ritles, machine guns
and euick-fring field artillery-ren-
ders the cavalry, as formerly used on
the battlefield, obsolete" says General
Miles, while the wonderful develop
ment in the use of motor power and
electrical appliances has rendered the
horse far less important than former
ly. These facts are doubly significant
and should be recognized by the mill

OUR VICE CONSUL
WAS NOT KILLED

Washington Aug. 29.-William c.
Magelssen, United States vice consul
at Beirut, Syria, was not assassinated
Sunday evening, as was reported to
the State Department by the United
States minister at Constantinople. He
was shot at by an unknown person,
but the evidently premeditated at
tempt on his life was unsuccessful.
The error which set the world agog
started an American feet for Beirut
and drew the United States into the
Turkish crisis. 1t was due to Il mis-.
take in the transmission of cipher
telegram from Consul RaVndal at Bel
rut to Minister Leishman.
Mr.. Leichman, however, has cabled
the State Department that the general
situation is so dangerous that Ameri-
can warships are needed in Turkish
waters. No orders have been sent
from here tonight which will inter
fere with Rear Admiral Cotton's pro
ceeding, as ordered, with the European
squadron from Italian waters to Bel
rut.
The President desires that the war
ships keep on to back up the demands
which, notwithstanding the failure of
the would-be assassin, will be made
on the porte for the safety of Ameri-
can representatives, citizens and prop
erty interests.
If Turkey does not promptly comply
with each and every demand of the
Washington government, Rear Admi-
raj Cotton will be instructed to seize
one or more ports and hold them un-
ii, the American demands are granted

Denver, Aug. 29.-Thc University OF
Denver is now free from debt In
1900 Henry A. Buchte accepted the
chancellorship of the University OF
Denver, which at that time was incum-
bered with a debt of $175 900

been paid, and yesterday afternoon
the announcement was given out that
the remainder of the entire college

COMMISSIONERS TO CONSIDER
ALASKA BOUNDARY QUESTION

London. Aug 3l.-Secretary of War
Elihu Root, eX-Secretary OF State
John Foster Hannis Taylor and Judge
John NJ. Dickinson arrived at Liverpool
on the Celtic yesterday for the meet
ings of the Alaska boundary commits
sion, which will open in London Sep
tember 80.
United States Ambassador Choate
has arranged to give dinner in honor
of Secretary Root at which all the
American and British representatives
will be present.
At the first meeting OF the commits
sioners next Thursday the Americans
and Canadians will submit their briefs,
which will be a condensation of the
facts and arguments regarding the in
terpretation of the treaty.
The commission will then announce
the day on which the oral arguments
will be heard.
The documents have not yet been
made public, but the Associated Press
correspondent learns that the whole
controversy centers on Canada's effort
to acquire an outlet to the sea. 1t is
known authoritatively that the Cana
dian agent asserts that under the Rus

erly crOssts numerous inlets, including
the headwaters of the Lynn Caaal The
contention seems to be that the iulet-
less than six miles wide situated H.
the disputed region, belong TO Canada
United States Counsel Foster yiEu-
Tously opposes this view, holding thar
the treaty clearly places the line thirty
miles inland, following the sinuosities
of the coast, thus separating Canada
from all arms of the ocean and putting
Porcupine creek and the gold district
under American Jurisdiction.
The American representatives are
confident that their position is unassail-
able. The commissioners expect that
the complete consideration of the en-
tire case will take less than two months
and that even should the commission
fail TO render majority award, the
facts will be clearly established. This
will lead to an easier settlement in the
future.
