In speaking with Mr.. II. ]. Mill
ar, president Of the Monon Mining
Company, a few days ago, lie told US
that the workmen are making some
wonderfully rich strikes Of zinc ore
in drifting in the shaft Of the COM
pany. He says the dirt resembles
very much the free ore proposition
found in the Badger camp. The
ore Is coming in big chunks, and Is
free ore, of the peacock variety: and
it Is going to assay very high.
This company Is composed OF
Pennsylvania capitalists, although
there Is some of the stock owned by
New York and European capitalists.
At a meeting Of the company, when
1t was organized, it was decided
that Mr.. Millar should be the presi-
dent of the company, and Mr.. j.
Thomas vice president. They have
had to do a great deal with mining
operations, and were considered
practical men, as they are.
These two gentlemen came to the
Baxter Springs camp in December,
1905, and at once secured from E. c.
Matthews & Co. q lease OH a portion
of the Buck land, in the hollow OF
the same name, and at once began
drilling. A very rich body of ore
was penetrated in the first drill hole
put down, and the strike being so
good it was decided to do more drill
ing. This was done, four more
drill holes being put down, the same
rich body Of ore being found in each
one.
The ground being proved suffi'
Gently, so far as drilling was con-
cerned, q shaft was started, and in
exactly 40 shifts, or to make 1t
more plain, in 35 working days, the
shaft was sunk to depth of u feet
into the ore body. A small portion

IN MEMORIAM.

Snyder L. Hague, the newspapc' man
who died here Tuesday night, had the
affection and confidence of every man
who knew him, the love cf many, ana
the dislike of no one. Simple IN lis way
of living. unobtrusive to a marked de-
gree, he was able. honorable and faith
full i'm his profession, a gentle man in
his relations with all men.
If one were, TO choose the character
istic OF the man which indicated best
his whole life, it would be his love for
children-a love as genuine and I'M
affected as the love of father for his
own. II he had had wealth his means
would have been devoted to making
children happy; and as it was, he gave
Of his comparatively slender means TO
this end more lavishly than many who
could afford it better. Children turned
to him for comfort and encouragement
with the sure instinct that guides the
little ones, and none of them was ever
disappointed in him. In their confidence
and love he found his greatest pleasure
and his going will be an irreparable
loss TO them.
If the promise Of reward TO those who
minister to the little ones is fulfilled. ne
goes to greater happiness than he ever
knew here, greater than falls to the
lot of the average man.

ANOTHER "AMERicAN" GRAFT.

Having worked all the graft availa-
be I'm the city, the American" council
is seeking new pastures in a proposal
for the city to buy alleged reservoirs
and water supply in the lakes at the
head of Big Cottonwood As the graft
ers see It this new field affords particu-
larly rich picking because IL not only
offers chance TO spend some city
money for water right which good
lawyers declare has no valid title. but
Il also gives the council another chance
10 plan a fat contract for p. J. Moran
in construction OF public works i'm case
the deal goes through.
The lakes which J. NJ. Thomas pro-
poses to sell to the city are situated in
a government forest reserve, the prin-
cipal ones on land patented by mining
companies operating around Brighton.
and the price Thomas asks is $50 900.
According to the friendly Americans"
who are in on the deal the council ma
jority views the proposal favorably, as
might have been expected. and the
chances are the job will be rushed
through the council and the money
paid over to Thomas as quickly as pos
sible

DEFINING THE ISSUES.

Chairman Cunningham OF the Demo-
cratic county committee has defined
The campaign issues for this year very
closely. taking strong ground i'm his
position that the main business of the
voters this fall should be the defeat Of
both the Smoot machine and the
american" faction of the Republican
party If the state, county and city are

After three years Of Smoot rule and
q year OF American" city administra-
ton the people OF Salt Lake are tired
Of bofh. The Smoot machine has been
intolerant. arbitrary, Indifferent to the
good Of the state. willing % appoint

perpetuate its control Of the state by a
little coterie of men who nave no claim
10 any consideration at the hands Of
the people. In their own party they
have sown the seeds Of dissensiou and
disruption: in the state they have alien
ated the best men of all parties, and in
the country at large they have given
Utah a setback from which it will take
years to recover.
The american" party has just as lit

has done its best TO discredit Utah and
injure its every interest; it bases its
hope OF victory on the defamation of

DURIFYING THE DRAMA.

1t is announced from Belgium that a
millionaire living i'm Brussels has Of
fered a prize amounting to $1,000 to be
best plays produced during the coming
season, with the proviso that the plays
must not contain any mention of or re-
ference to marital infidelity. The OBJ
ject of the offer is twofold. First. the
giver desires TO elevate the standard
Of the drama, and. second, he says he
wants to place conversation among the
smart set on a higher plane.
He assumes, and with some justice,
that one of the chief topics of CONVEX
satlon among society people is the
drama, with special reference to newly
produced plays. Inevitably when these
plays are based on marital inidelity
as so many plays are, the trend of the
conversation is in that direction. The
millionaire is Disguised with this order
of affairs. He sees no very good reason
why even society people should not
discuss decent things, and he is going
to help them by giving them an oppor-
tunity to talk about clean plays.
Unfortunately, his prize is not big
enough to tempt many authors. Wo-
mans frailty is now and has always
been a favOrite theme of playwrights.
Though all the changes have been rung
on it many, many times there is hardly
a modern play that does not handle it
i'm one form or another. For play to
be success it would seem that this
subject must inevitably be introduced.
The public apparently demands il, and
the playwrights are willing to give the
public what the public wants.
Now will a playwright of established
reputation risk that reputation by
putting out a drama that may fail be-
cause Of the lack of this one feature?
Certainly the prize, 5000, is not big
enough to be an inducement True.
the honor is worth something, but
shekels are more considered than fame
by modern play writer's and producers.
We hope the plan Of the Belgian works
out successfully, but we have very
grave doubts.
And II wouldn't be a bad idea for
somebody TO start a movement for the
publication Of the drama i'm the United
States. 1t is within the bounds Of rea-
son TO say that eight American plays
out Of ten center i'm the unfaithfulness,
either real or ina gined of at least one
of the principal female characters. Is
it impossible to write a play that is at
tractive, or rather popular. and clean
at the same time. Some clean comedies
have been written. notably those by
George AIDE, but the clean drama as a
type of American productions is for the
future to bring forth.

this line is the county treasury and it's
almost unlimited opportunities for
graft In the way Of road improvements,
seen what they can do i'm the way of
plumber within the city limits. the
Americans" are prepared to operate
on a wholesale scale if they can extend
the area of control.
If the taxpayers of the county want
the same sort of dose the city taxpay-
ers have had, they have only to vote

will do the rest-including the county.

Exporting of Yellow Pine a Feature Of
Great Importance.

The following, taken from the New

many of the readers of the Astorian:
The North American lumber trade has
been devoting much study recently to
the exporting business in yellow pine.
The export trade in this product is a
profitable one, but it is one which is by
no means free from perplexities and
great difficulties of one kind and an
other 1t has been the endeavor Of the
lumber manufacturers to overcome these
difficulties by agreements among them
selves and by attempting to establish
certain fixed regulations according to
which the business should be conducted.
There has of late been an enormous de-
mand for lumber of all kinds in this
country, and in many foreign countries
as well.
Stocks have been rapidly depleted by
brisk buying from a number of quar-
ters. 1t was recently estimated that be-
cause of the large consumption in the
last Is months the available supply of
yellow pine is much below the normal.

yellow pine. Year before last it used

Government win Find Rate for
Levyins on Jewel Imports.
WILL CLASSIFY ALL GEMS
Large Quantities Of Valuable Gems Have
Been Brought Into This Country
Under Ten Per cent Duty
Charges.


NEW YORK, June al.-The Times
ssys today:
THE United States government,
through the Treasury Department, has
decided to discover by means of fed
eral court decision the exact basis upon
which the duties imposed on gems and
Jewels imported into this country may
be levied. There is nice point Of dis.
elimination in the classification of i'm
ported gems and the customs authori-
ties fix the rate according to the class in
which, in their judgment, an Importation
belongs.
"For instance, the duty on unmatched.
unmounted, or uncut gems is but 10
per cent. while that on matched or
mounted jewels is so per cent.
The customs authorities, through
their agents abroad as well as from their
observations at this port. have been
aware for long time that great quanti
ties of gems and pearls have found their
way into this country under payment of
the 10 per cent duty, when. in their esti-
nation, the higher rate should have been
levied. The matter of discrimination
must often be based on personal obser-
walton and judgment alone, while there
is no outside proof to indicate that the
valuables had been taken apart after the
purchase abroad and brought here un-
matched or unmounted for the sole pur-
pose of evading payment of the higher
rate.
1T is said that the test case to be
brought by the government concerns go
peals of great value purchased in Paris
by William B. Leeds as a gift for his
wife"
