ADVISES UNION.
Pastor Of Methodist Church Wants
Congregation TO Unite With
Southern Church.

Rev. J. F Deal, for several months
the pastor Of the Trinity Methodist
church Of this city. has rendered his
resignation as pastor of the church,
and will likely return to St, Louis
from which place he came when he
removed TO Waco, Mr. Deal said this
morning that he was advising the
members of that church to connect
themselves with the Methodist
church south, as they were not able
to maintain an organization in this
city. I'VE are teaching union. said
Mr Deal in discussing the matter
today, ''and / am asking the member
ship Of this church 10 practice it.
The doctrine of the Methodist church
Is the same il matters not whether
il be in the nortH or the south. and
this being true, | can see no reason
oil maintaining separate organiZa-
tions as are being maintained The
congregation that has been worship
ing at the Trinity Methodist Episco-
pal church has kept up its congrega-
tiou for a number of years, and
believe now they feel the necessity Of
union with the Methodist church
south, and they will conneC, them
selves with some OF the different
Methodist churches of the city.
Rev Deal was at one time city
missionary of the Methodist church
in ST. Louis and gave up thar work
to come TO Waco, and accept the
pastorate Of the Trinity church OF

TROUBLE FOR NEVADA.
State Capitol Grounds Found to be
Rich in Minerals

Trouble of a peculiar character has
broken out in Nevada as a result of
which the state may lose its capitoI
grounds This is because the ground

The Carson City Appeal of June %
tells the story in this way:
Visitors at the state well Yesterday
We're surprised when they noted that
the ground that the state claims for
its executive buildings was filed on bv
Abe Conn of this city as a placer min
ing claim Such is the case and the To-
cation takes I'm all of that particular
territory and extends as far as the gov
eminent building.
The reason given for the procedure
was the discovery of gold in the sands

partner "Snippie" discovered the even

hundred feet below the surface con-
tanned gold in paying quantity They
PANIED some of the gravel and We're
surprised to find, that it contained
coarse gold One piece of quartz which
Mr. COhn is exhibiting shows more
than mere color. in fact it is lousy
with the giittering metal and we have
his word for it that it came up with
the well bOrings.

FORTUNE FROM

Chicago Men Will Try a New Road to

WITH DEEP INTEREST.

Fortunes have been sunk in trying to
save the gold known to be i'm the sand
at the bottom Of Snake river. The
problem of how to save this great
wealth has puzzled the brain of ex-
perts; the hope of rich returns has in
duced many fortune-hunters to sink

Whlcn the gold is to be separated from

project to the CapitaI-News of Boise.
MI McGhee gave out the following in
formation:
In the first place, the black sand con-
Ialns gold united with titanium. the
per cent often reaching 80. This is in
IusibIe and cannot be saved by smeIt-
ing or by fire assay.
samples of black sand that all the
visible gold had been PANIED out of
were treated here with Mr.. McGhee's
chemicals. then turned over to the
miner again, and he was able to nan
more gold than he took out at first.
MI McGhee is not here selling patent
rights or processes, but instead is buy
ing black sand for his Chicago plant.
that Is now treating sand from points

He is familiar with th, Snake river
having examined its bars on different
occasions Its marvellous deposits of
black sand will be worth millions if

seems probable that so great a body
could be worked here cheaper than in
chicago and his stay during the sum-
mer may result ia a branch plant be-

results, becomes very interesting ana
may result in the Snake river becoming

WILL COPPER BE KING.
Outlook For the Red Metal Grows
Brighter.

II is estimated from the best figures
obtaindble that the copper output for
Utah during June approXimated 100000
pounds. forcing the total for the first
six months of the year above 30000.00
pounds This would represent an ap-
pIoXimate value of 81. 000.0 600. With the
greater development at the mines and
the greater facilities for handling the
ore and the improved methods being
constantly inaugurated. it is predicted
that the last half of the year will show
a much better record than the first half.
The outlook for copper in the state is
exceedingly bright.
