PH|PPS PLANS
SPLENDID HOTEL
Eastern Millionaire Will Erect
200-Room Structure on
East Third South.
FAMILY AND TRANSIENT
APPROXIMATELY 100000 WILL
BE SPENT ON NEW HoSTELRY.

Another big hotel, to be the largest
of its kind in the city when completed
and costing 100000 in construction
work alone, is being planned for Salt
Lake.
Henry Phipps, the eastern steel king,
has decided to erect a 20O-room family
and transient hotel on the site of the
present Manitou hotel, just east of the
Ilnutsford on East Third South street.
Henry Phipps, jT., son of the steel mil
lionaire, arrived iii Salt Lake Friday
and closed the deal by which the new
hotel goes up. Mr.. Phipps left for the
cast with his manager II. H. Gordon.
yesterday at noon, and last night the
details of the new hotel project were
disclosed.
The plans are very comprehensive
and embrace the tearing down of the
rear arm of the L of the preosnt hotel
building and its complete rccCnStruc-
ton of fireproof materials. At present
the ManitOu is a hotel of some eighty
five rooms. These are to be increased
to 200 rooms. Running water is TO be
installed in every room and bathrooms
are to be constructed for every suite of
rooms in the hotel. Tile floors are to be
and throughout the halls. The lobby is
TO be reconstructed and the big dining
rooms of the present building are to be
moved down onto the first floor. Occu-
plying a portion of the space now Occu-
pied by the Turkish bath parlors Of the
Manitou and the crockery store to the
east of the hotel building proper.
Will Be Thoroughly Modern.
The Turkish bathrooms, and q new
barber shop will be moved to the base
ment. In all pTOba bility a grillrOOm
will be installed in the rear. of the dim
ing-rOoms proper.
new kitchen is to be constructed
in the basement of the new building.
Mr.. Phipps has given Mrs. d. La Forge,
the lessee of the hotel. carte blanche in
constructing the kitchen and it is ex-
pected this department of the new hotel
will be one of the finest of its kind in
the west when completed.
Mrs. La Forge and Mrs. NJ. E. Green
are the present prOprietOTS of the Man
itou. Mrs. La Forge has purchased
Mrs Green's share and will operate The
new hotel alone.
The Manitou is one of the most pop
Ular and exclusive family hotels in Salt
Lake and the fact that when the new
structure is completed a transient bus
mess will be done will make it one Of
the leading hotels of the city.
Work is to be started at once on
tearing down the rear wing of the Man
itOu and constructing a fOUr-Story
building to correspond to the remain
ing portion of the hotel

Air of Supernatural.
Ii her conversation she showed great ia

the conditions that prevail IN Nevada. She
told of her wonderful power In a manner
that allowed no contradiction, though to
the average listener the gift she claims to

While in Los Angeles the blind woman
met Walter Scott of Death Valley fame,
and secured a version of his inner life.
The clairvOyant says that "ScOtty'' is

that the ore that "Scotty' sells is stolen
fo~ him from different mining camps by

REORGANIZATION OF NATIONAL
GUARD is BEGUN.

The inspection of the battery of the
national guard will be held on the even
ing Of Dec. > by Major w. G. Williams
its commanding officer. The review of
the battery is to be held pursuant to the
governors orders and unless the battery
makes a good showing it will be mus
tered out
The First battery has been in ill re-
pute since the inspection three weeks ago,
when the showing made was extremely
poor. The artillery used at the last en-
campment had not been cleaned since
last summer and the entire equipment
however, the men have been at work
cleansing the equipment, and Colonel
Lund hopes that it will be unnecessary
to discontinue the artillery branch of the
guard.
Friction in Battery.
Besides the trouble arising from the
condition of the equipment there has
been considerable internal friction among
the men of the battery. At a meeting of
number of the enlisted men of the bat
and Adams was demanded. The officers
been brewing since they made their dec
laratiOnS.
An inspection of company G will be
called for about two weeks from yester-
day and it will depend on the showing
made whether or not that company will
be also mustered out. Under the reor-
gaEization scheme of Governor Cutler
the troop and one or two of the other
companies of the guard may be mustered
out, as their organizations are not up to
the military standard.

Method Straightforward.

AS clalrVOydnt the methods employed
by Mrs. Ruebhausen vary considerably
from those used by the ordinary prOfes
Slonal SOothSayeT- She is not in the least
mysterious, she does not go into trance,
does not believe in spiritualism, nor does
she employ any deceptive mechanical ap-
paratuS, such as was used by the Arnold
Dickson brothers to entice the guileless
INTO separating themselves from their
money.
Mrs. Rnebhausen is a cOmely; middle
aged woman, with the peculiar retiring
nature common to blind people She has
husband and a large family of children
and apparently lives quiet and con-
tented life, despite the fact that by a
single word she causes milliOnaireS to
stake big money on a single turn of the
market.
Goes Rushing Business.
To secure a reading from the blind
clairvoyant it is necessary to secure an
appointment with her some days ahead
of time, for she is a busy woman and
is engaged all day long ministering to
her mOneyed patrons who drive to her
modest dwelling in elegant carriages. A
Herald reporter called yesterday after
noon and WAS given a reading as well
as an interview on mining prospects in
Nevada, which is her speciality
Mrs. ReubhduSen greeted the caller
with a smile and straightway startled
him by informing him the day. month
and year in which he was born She
continued with a brief outline of his past
that was so accurate as to arouse con-
siderable apprehension lest the blind for
tune teller knew all.

BOULDER CRUSHES
HIM TO DEATH
Albert Angel, Pioneer, Fatally
Hurt at Portland Cement
Company's Quarry.
FAILS TO HEAR WARNING
CONSCIOUS WHEN PICKED up
DIES IN AGONY.

Albert Angel, pioneer resident of
Salt Lake. died yesterday afternoon
from injuries sustained yesterday
morning while at work at the Portland
Cement company's quarry in Parley's
canyon.
Mr.. Angel was drilling in the upper
quarry, some distance UP the side of
the hill, when a large rock rolled down
the hillside. Two Austrians who were
working near by ran to safety, yelling
as they did so to warn Mr.. Angel, who
was directly in the path of the boulder.
As he was slightly deaf, the warning
was not heard, and an instant later the
rock struck the STOPPING man and
rolled over him.
As the boulder weighed nearly a ton
it was thought Mr.. Angel would be in
stantiy killed. He was found to be
still alive and was carried to a house
near the quarry. DR.. c. Stewart of
Sugar House was summoned by tele-
phone. The physician did everything
in his power to make the injured man
as comfortable as possible.

She came to Salt Lake fifteen years

mining business. The mountains about
here showed her veins of rich ore and she
began to investigate at once. Pieces of
ore were brought to her and without
hesitation she described in detail the
country and the veins from which they
came. She applied this knowledge to the
