average annual mortality from thi
disease Tor the five years being lib
per 100,0 900. Over so per cent OF tn;
deaths from these diseases were deaths
OF children under Eve years Of age, ant
and over IS per cent Of children undel
one year Of age. FJr the principa
cities the rate was highest in Fal

Hart disease was fourth among the
leading causes Of death, the average

Of population. Over Is per cent OF the
deaths from this disease occurred at
ages above A, over 45 per cent occur
ring 81 IS years and over. It IS no
ticeable that the mortality from heart
disease Is steadily increasing, the
death rate advancing from Ill 2 per
100, ,0G0 In 1900 to l34 s in 1904.
Another cause Of death with an In
creasing rate was cancer, the rate for
which Increased from SO per 100, 900
in 1900 to 100 in 1904 a compare.
lively snail proportion OF the deaths
from cancer occurred at ages under 40
years. Toe deaths Of females far e1-
ceeded those Of males, the proportion
being s22 females to 378 males in L.
900 deaths.
The death rate from cancer In the
registration area Of the Uaited States
was less than in E1gland and Wales,
Scotland, Germany, Norway. the
Netherlands and Swi Rand, but was
greater than in ireland, Hungary,
Spain and Italy. It was higher in
the cities than in the rural districts,
out this is due partly to the fact that
residents Of rural districts In the last
stages OF the disease seek the bospit-
ais in the cities t treatment.
The average annual death rate from
typhoid fever In the registration area

occurred between the ages Of 20 and
55 than at any other age period. The
number OF DEATHS was greatest in Sep
5enber and October, and least in
June. Over one-third OF the deaths
occurred in August, September and Oc.

and like that it has head who pro-
claims himself Gods prophet and

The church knows no color line, but
as the prophet is negro the majority
OF converts are from the negro racs.
A branch OF the church was organ

an Intelligent negro, John q. Allen,

made fourteen black and one white
convert. The keeping OF the Ten
Commandments and observing OF
Saturday as the Sabbath are the
strong points of the Church Of God.
Prophet CroWdy, if he had white
skin, would much resemble Alexander I
Dowie, and his methods appear as II
copied from DoWies. he publishes a
newspaper, the Weekly Prophet,

HE MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN.
Jesse Knight Reported to Be After
the Steamboat Property.

Uncle Jesse Knight of Provo was in the
Snake Creek mining district south of
Park City. few days ago. Upon his
reaching Salt Lake he was asked what
he had been doing there and replied that
he had been looking at some property,
but there was nothing about his trip
worthy of mention because he had de-
cided to do nothing with proposition
that had been presented to him. For
the same reason he did not care to say
what 1t was. Maybe Uncle Jesse saw
more than one property. At any rate the
following from the Park Record would
indicate that he is figuring on doing bus
mess with the Steamboat company:
"A special meeting of the stockholders
of the Steamboat Mining company has
been called for Tuesday. July 81, at 2
o'clock p. M, at the office of the COM
pany in the First National Bank building
in this city. The purpose of the meeting
is to consider and determine a PROPOSE
ton to sell and dispose of all or part
of the real estate and personal property
belonging to the said company.
while no definite information has been
given out the Record understands that
Jesse knight, the well-knOwn mining
promoter of this state, is back of the DEAL
and is anxious to get the Steamboat prop
Lake group of claims which adjOin the
Steamboat and il owned by Mr.. Knight.
THE property is located in Big Cotton
wood district. and is an immense low
tically adjOins the Steamboat ground,
which is in Snake Creek district, the two
are separated by high ridge of noun
tainS over which it is very difficult and
expensive to get provisions.
with the Steamboat property in his
possession, however, Mr.. Knight could
easily work this ground and at the same
time he would prospect and develop the
Steamboat, by continuing the tunnel,
which is already in a distance of some
1890 feet. This property comprises six
teen claims and is valuable group
which would soon yield riches with the
expenditure of capital and systematic
development. The principal owners are
W. V. Rice James Farrell and Barney
Riley and much money has been spent
in prospecting.
IF this deal goes through. as in all
probability it will, it will mean a general
revival of interest and work in that Sec
ton of country, for Mr. Knight is an en-
thusiastic and persistent boomer of prop
critics in which he Is interested, and will
inspire others to action and the cOnse-
quent opening up of some big properties.
The Snake Creek district has long been
considered a very wealthy one, and in
the opinion of competent mining men, it
will open up marvelously rich if properly
and systematically prospected."

REACHING THE VEIN.
keiehbor of Beck Tunnel Expects to
Cut BIG Ore Body.

Adjoining the claim of the Beck Tun-
mel company. where Jesse knight made
his big strike few months ago, is the
American lode claim owned by August
Schmidt and brother of Tintic. Judge o.
". Powers. and Joseph Lippman. The
ledge in which the Beck Tunnel COM
pany got its bonanza ore shoot was fol-
lowed up TO the end lines of the Ameri-
can claim and then work was taken up
in the opposite direction.
In February the owners of the Ameri-
can claim decided to sink a shaft and go
after the ore in their own ground. Yes
terday Judge Powers was in receipt of
advices from camp TO the effect that the
bottom of the shaft, at a depth of lit
Tie more than 100 feet had reached what
was believed to be the hanging wall OF
the vein. the rock being mighty mineral
lied The shaft is being sunk at a dis
lance of only thirty feet from the Beck
Tunnel boundary line. and the belief is
that the ore body cannot be missed in
the American. Sinking will be continued
for few feet more, and if the ore does
not then show up a cross-cut will be run
from the shaft to tap the vein. For 200
feet or. more 10 the end lines of the Amer
lean ground the ore in Beck Tunnel ter
ritory has been continuous. Ii has shown

GOOD SPRINGS COMING UP.
Southern Operator Says Region Is
Beginning to Move on Merit.

j. " Kelley, one of the best known men
in the southern Nevada mining regions,
and who is now bending his energies to
the development of valuable properties in
the Yellow Pine Good Springs) district,
about twelve miles from the San Pedro
railroad, is up from camp on mining bust
ness. The one property that is now be-
ing given particular attention by Mr.
Kelley is his Clementina Consolidated
group of gOld-copper claims. He is sink
ing on a fiSsure in the lime that is head
ing for the lime-porphyry contact and
when the latter is reached he is counting
upon having one of the big mines of the
southern country. AS it is he gets assays
in gold that runs up into the hundreds
of dollars while the average of the ore
will mill better than $40 ton in gold,
with fine percentage of copper.
Adjoining his property the Allen G.
Campbell estate owns a fine mine and
there are number of other splendid prop
critics in the same portion of the district.
In addition to the splendid showing that
is being made in the gold belt, MIR. Kelley
states that the lead and zinc properties
of that section are making records in de-
velopment that mean nothing less than
mines in the country. In these, as well
as in the gold belt, Salt Lake capital
is playing an important part and Mr.. Kee-
ley states that it is only necessary to see
the properties they own and the showing
that is being made in them, to realize
that genuine mines are being made. The
country. he says, is just beginning to
move and that it will not be long till a
veritable boom hits it.
Before coming up Mr. Kelley visited his
stamping ground, Phoebe. Compared with
the early boom days when he was there
he says the camp looks awfully tame now,
but from the way the Nevada-Uta and
other companies are moving in that sec
ton, he feels certain that the camps old
time history will soon be repeated with
many embellishments.

copper smelling works at Garfield belched
forth on Monday less than ten months
from the day last September when ground

that the task of completing the big works
is being rounded out III recOr1-breaklng
time and that it will not be many weeks
ill the actual smelling of ore will be in
order.
The fires were lit on Monday at the in
stigation of Karl Eilers, the company
chief mechanical engineer, Under whose
direction and personal supervision the
works are being constructed. The purpose
was TO dry out the masonry and ce-
ment work that enters into the conStruc
ton of the long flues and dust collectors
that run up the mountain side from the
furnace and rooster buildings TO the 800
foot brick stand that stands on an emil
renee to the south of the works.
A few weeks later the trying out OF ghe
roasters will be in order and then the
feeding of ore will be in order. Fer
many weeks concentrates from the Cacr
tus mill at Newhouse and Utah Copper
mill at Bingham have been pouring into
the receiving bins at the smelter and,
since the completion OF the sampler crude
ores have been received, as well. All of
the ore from the Columbus Consolidated
is now going TO the new works and the
Boston Consolidated was given the signal

Sunday. From now on the American
company will be able &c take care of
many shippers The mines of Nevada will
get a show and so will some of the pro-
ducers in Utah who have been holding off
until such time as their product could be
received at the big works.
By the first of next month some of the
roasterS and reverberatory furnaces
should be chewing up considerable ore
and before the year is over the plant
should and undoubtedly will be in full
