CITY AND NEIGHBoRHooD.
May Irwin appears tonight Frday)
at the Salt Lake theatre in the clever
play. Mrs. Black is Back. May
brings her smile and her song voice
with her.
The rush of tourists still continues,
and local hotel men say that it is likely
to continue for another month any
how. The fair at Portland is doing the
business, and many eastern people who
never saw Salt Lake before are now
enjoying a trip to this city.
Utah's national guard will again
have q brigadier general in the near
future, according to information from
an authoritative source. The new gem
eral will be Joseph Geoghegan, at pres
ent inspector general on Governor John
C. cutters staff and acting adjutant
general OF. the guard. 1t is known that
Governor Cutler has twice offered TO
promote Colonel Geoghegan to the posi-
lion of adjutant general, with the rank
of brgadier general Colonel Geog-
hegans friends now assert that he
will accept the appointment, which
will probably be made soon after the
governor returns from Portland.
Housewives viii find nothing new.
either in price or variety, on the mar
kets lust now. There comes news that
the oyster viii begin TO caVort joytully
toward the consumer next week, as
a shipment is expected. On the first
day of September these viii probably
be ready to serve, thereby fulfilling the
adage that oysters are good only dur
ing the months with RS in them. OF
will
on the last day of August, as there is
no ''r' in it.
Governor John c. Cutler and party
left on the Oregon Short Line Monday
night for Portland to be present at the
celebration of Utah day at the fair.
The party included Governor Cutler,
Mrs. Cutler Z. II. Callister, Mrs. Cal
lister. Ned Callister, William Spry,
Colonel A. P. Kessler, Mrs. Kessler H.
E. Booth and William Eddington. SEN
ator Reed Smoot and his family eX-
pected to join the party, but the i'll
ness of Miss Chloe Smoot the senator's
daughter made it necessary to post
pone their trip to the fair.
The water shortage is still with the
people of salt Lake City. and there are
no indications that it will be relieved
in the near future. In spite of the as
sertions made by the opponents of
Mayor Richard P. Morris and his ad-
ministration that there is no scarcity
of water. the measurements taken by
officials and employees of the city's
water department show that the city's
water supply is limited,
The mayor is seriously contemplat-
ing issuing a proclamation offering a
,.~1,s on,
where the mayor has concealed the
citys water supply, and he is of the
opinion that the attempted solution of
this mystery would furnish interesting
diversion to the ''herarch hunters"
when business gets dull in their regular
lines.
With the near approach of the open
ing of the Uintah reservation to
mineral locations. the reserve is natur-
ally the Mecca of hundreds of prospec-
tors. all of whom have the one pur-
pose, first. of finding the tabled Caleb
Rhodes lost gold mine and, incidentally
as it were, picking up anything else
that may to them look good. With
Rhodes, who was trapper and pros
pector there in the early days of this
section, died the secret of the where
abouts of this mine. which, during his
life. he was often heard TO state, was
big enough.-that is. had enough of the
precious metal in sight, to liquidate the
national debt Rhodes passed away
al his home near Price some three
months ago and. though his demise
was sudden, it is believed by many that
he left with his wife plats and maps
that would lead to the mine. Others,
who have less faith, do not think that
Rhodes ever had a mine on the reser-
walton and think the whole thing is a
myth.
Mrs. Isabel Cameron Brown, wife of
ex-senator Brown. died Tuesday after
noon at the family residence, of stom-
ach trouble. Mrs. Brown was one of
the most prominent club women in the
state, and her place as patron Of the
Orphans Home and Day Nursery will
be difficult, indeed to fill. Mrs. Brown
was prominent in literary and political
circles. and was known as strong and
loyal friend. DIR. Hosmer attended her
in her illness but TO no avail. At the
time Of her death she was surrounded
by her husband. her son Max and some
of her intimate friends. Mrs. Brown
was about 90 years old at the time of
her death She was born in Kalama-
zoe. Mich. where she was educated.
She was a descendant of the Sperrys of
historical fame and of John Paul
Jones. on her fathers side she was of
direct Scotch descent. In 1880 Mrs.
Brown came 10 Utah.
A new mineral product for Utah and
one of great value in the way of a rare
metal i'm quantities almost beyond
computation, has been discovered in
the Continental mines at Alta. The
metal is molybdenum, worth about
S275 a pound. and the announcement
was made yesterday by Henry NJ.
Crowther Of the Continental Mines &
Smelter corporation 1t is used for
hardening steel particularly in making
mathematical instruments and any
fine steel devices where hardness,
strength and durability are required.
