Some important disclosures have
just been made In regard to the result
of the drill holes which are now going
down on West Rock hill by thee Unit
ed Mining and Development Company.
says Leadville correspondent. This
exploration work is being carried on
in the most westerly portion OF the
district and in n territory not yet
known to be mineralized. It was even
questioned whether the mineral bear
ing rock was in place. According to
authentic information. however, the
drill hole has reached depth OF near
ly 1000 feet. 1t has passed through a
body OF calcareous clay, what is known
as silicious lime. yielding small values
in assaying. The bottom of the drill
now appears to be in contact matter
considerably minerallzed. The min
eralization consists OF lead. copper,
iron and small amounts OF gold and sill
ver. This diamond drill prospecting Is
undertaken for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the formation OF this portion

IN SnOOT CASE
MORMON WITNESSES TESTIFY.
President Smith cIings to His Wives
Plural Marriage Of Apostle
Cannon,

washington, Dec. 13.-Three wit.
nesses were heard yesterday in the
case of Senator Reed Smoot before the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections. The committee resumed its
Investigations after long recess.
The first witness was Rev. ]. M.
Buckley, editor of the Christian Advo-
cate of New York, who told of Nor
mon meeting he attended in Salt Lake
City last summer in which President
Joseph Smith declared he would not
give up his plural wives.
George Reynolds, a high official Of
the church. testified in regard to the
ceremonies that have taken place in
the endowment house and concerning
ecclesiastical divorces granted by the
church, and John Henry Hamlin told
OF the plural marriage of his sister,
Lillian Hamlin, to Apostle Abram Can
non, which ceremony he said he un-
derstood to have been performed by
President Smith since the manifesto
of 1890.
Most of the testimony related to the
inside church policy, but did not con-
meet Senator Smoot with any of the
alleged violations of national or state
statutes.
DR.. Buckley told Of visits to Utah in
1901 and again last June. At that time
he attended joint convention of the
Young Mems and Young Womens
Unions of Mormonism. Those who
spoke were Brigham H. Roberts, FL
mira s. Taylor and President Smith.
The audience was estimated by the
witness at 11,000 persons.
DR.. Buckley read from an article he
had written concerning the convention
and quoted from the speech of Presi-
dent Smith on the subject of marriage.
The witness said that for ten to If
teen minutes President Smith had
talked of the responsibility of marriage
and how the contract is regarded by
many persons.
President Smiths voice rang out "as
strong as William ]. Bryan's," as he
defended the Mormon marriage and
declared that polygamy was not adul-
terry, but was a system of marriage.
President Smith was quoted by the
witness as saying that he could not
give up any of his wives, that it meant
eternal damnation to abandon multi
plicity of wives.
DR.. Buckley said he had made in
Qutry concerning Senator Smoot and
he had found no one who said a word
against him. Everywhere, the witness
said, Senator Smoot was given an ex-
cellent character.

Production Of Platinum.

The worlds production of platinum,
highly useful metal, ranges annually
between 100000 and 100000 troy
ounces, but the production OF platinum
in the United States in 1903 was only
110 ounces (worth $2,080. and even
that was sixteen ounces more than the
output of the previous year. Russia
Is the fortunate country which pro-
duces about 80 per cent. of the world o
platinum. The remainder comes main
ly from Colombia, South America.
During the year 1903 the center of
interest in platinum mining in the
United States shifted from Shasta and
Trinity counties. California, to south
ern Oregon. There. in the neighbor-
hood OF Grants Pass and Kerby, plati-
mum and iridosmium are found in the
placer gold. Associated with the plati-
mum and gold is another heavy mineral
called josephinite. which is a natural
alloy of iron and nickel. 1t also has
proved commercially profitable.
The production of 110 ounces of plat
mum sand does not include the plati-
mum contained in the copper ores OF
the Rambler mine, Wyoming. 1t is in
teresting to note that $4,000 worth of
platinum was obtained in 1903 in the
form of shines in the treatment of the
copper ore and matte from this region.
The imports of platinum during 1908
show how inadequate is our home pro-
duction. The total value of imports
amounted to $2,O55.9S3, which were
distributed as follows: Unmanufac-
tured, 1,426 pounds ($32S. .1O3); ingots,
bars. sheets and wire. 6,30S pounds
Isl 1851, ,94D; vases, retorts and other
apparatus. vessels and parts thereof
for chemical uses. $12S,s90; articles
manufactured of platinum, 5000.
The price of pure platinum in whole
sale quantities at New York continued
during the whole of 1908. as during
the last seven months of 1902, at $19
an ounce.

says a Boston authority, to great

is. the consumers, at home and abroad,
are providing SO literally for 1905 in
fear OF even higher prices for the metal
that the companies stand to gain the
benefit of the rise OF some cents per
pound on a large part Of their next
years output. at the least. America
produces over 700.000,O0O pounds OF

Obituary.


To the memory of Mrs. Attic
Carson, (nee Bates) born Oct. 10,
1871, and died April 10. 1904,
being 33 years and s months old.
Sister Carson lived an unques-
tionablc life, therefore no one
would doubt her happiness in the
kingdom of glory. She was a
faithful wife, a tender, loving
mother and was devoted to her
church. She was bereaved of
her husband only a few months
before she was called away. Her
sorrow was deep and her troubles
indispensable, there being left to
her all the care of four little
children to raise up in a SIN
stricken world. But the Lord
soon said it is enough and took
her to himself, leaving the four
little children, three girls and one
boy, to the tender care of grand
parents and other relatives to see
to their welfare and training.
Ipasmuch as the Lord promises
to be father to the orphan. we
pray that He may keep watch
full eye over these little ones.
