A CHRISTMAS CONCLUSION.

Twas the day before Christmas, and all
through the land
Rang the cry of the children that none can
withstand,
"Old Santa is coming, rare treasures he
brings,
A pack loaded down with most wonderful
thmgs.'
But, old Santa, alas, like a mere mortal
man,
To fret and to fume at his duties began
For he had been roaming about in dis.
gJise.
And the state Of affairs had caused him
surprise.
For what do you think was the first thing
he learned?
Why all the bad children to good ones had
turned:
Gone all the Ill sempers and cross. angry
looks,
Devoted each child to his work and his
books.
And he groaned as he said. II plainly can
On this Christmas Eve there's no Sinking
Not one naughty child in the whole merry
flock
IT'S plain J. must work until five by the
clock"
but, my DEAR" said his wife, 'you ought
to be glad
That at last there's not left a child who
Said the saint, with smile and a look that
was queer.

year"

Strange Origin of Christmas Tree.

Most of us know that the Christmas
tree comes to us direct from Germany.
And we know of the tree worship of the
Druids which obtained in England and
France, and which probably had some in
tfuence on the later use of the tree in the
Christian festival. But we do not all
know that similar festival with the tree
as browning feature is observed among
many heather nations, and that it comes
from sun worship, which is older than his
tory. The revival of the sun after the
winter solstice has ever been the subject
of rejoicing and of celebration by cere-
monies which represent the new light
brought back to the world. Our tree,
with its small candles, its gilded knick-
lnacks and toys for the children, is a d-
rect descendant of this old festival in
honor of the sun.
Traces of it exist in Iceland, where the
service tree" is found adorned with burn
ing lights during Christmas night. The
English yule log is faint survival Of this
FESTIVAL. But it is beyond these that l
wish to draw your attention, back further
even than the Druid mysteries of the Gal
lie forests. 1t is to China, that home of
all wonders and of all history. 1t has
been shown that as long ago as 247 B. G..
a tree with hundred lamps and flowers
was placed on the steps of the audience
hail. This appears again in the records
of Princess Yang, who lived 1885 A.
D., and who caused a hundred-lamp tree
eighty feet high to be erected on a noun
tain. 1t was lighted during New Years
pioht and tJe iiluujn tion was sean for
hundreds of miles, eclipsing the light of
the moon. This candle tree is no longer
lighted in China, being replaced by an
unusual number of lanterns, which are
hung everywhere. A suggestion 81 ihc
tree, however, still survives in Japan. At
the New Year two evergreen trees are
placed without, on either side Of the door.
Their tops are tied together with the
sacred band of straw, and various objects.

Nearly 5000 of the white employees had

the wages paid them will seem high, but as
a matter of fact the only general complaint
which found had any real basis among the
complaints made to me upon the isthmus

so on and so on. Many of them have

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Evidence That May Day Is Being
Picked Up by Strong Interests.

There was a shading of prices ON
change yesterday and the bulk Of the
trading was in the lower-priced shares.
Exceptions to the rule in relation to
prices were found in Carisa, Lower Nam
moth, May Day and Star Consolidated
During the day a total of 81, 700 shares OF
stock, with selling value Of $llS99 81
changed hands.
There is an impression in brokerage cir
cles that strong interests have been quiet
iy acquiring May Day ever since the price
dropped to less than &c, and these inter-
ests are expected to assert themselves at
the annual meeting in April 1t was
bought up to 1334c yesterday, and, as the
pending assessment is not yet delinquent,
that means that the purchaser is paying
at the rate of 1910 a share. Garisa is also
being well sustained and the same is true
Of Lower Mammoth and Star ConsOli-
dated. The talent is figuring on all Of
these stocks bringing higher prices. In
other, respects the market was barely
holding its own yesterday, though real
weakness was nowhere apparent. Beck
Tunnel is apparently having a struggle to
maintain a strong position, but a de-
cline of a few cents is usually followed
by rally that leaves it as strong at the
close at it opens. Little Bell is quiet and
the trading IN Columbus Consolidated is
light. In the face Of its dividend Grand
Central sold off and closed at SIS Is, while
earlier in the week it was strong around
s.. 40.
Following is the list of final quotations
and record OF sales made during the two
regular and open board calls:

UTAH MINE DIVIDEND.
Deep Creeks representative VIII
Make Usual Distribution Tuesday.

Right on time the Utah mine company,
operating in the Fish Springs district,
Deep Creek. declared its first regular
monthly dividend for the new year yester-
day. 1t Is in the usual amount, $1,000,
or 1 cent a share on the capitalization OF
the corporation. Transfer books close to-
morrow afternoon and distribution will
be made on Tuesday, the 18th.
Last month the company paid a dou-
ble-header on account of the holidays,
and the expectation is that the present
year will be gone through without skip,
an expectation that is justified by condi-
tions at the mine, which is reported to
be doing better than it has in years.
- The Utah mine is one of the few in
this region that boasts the proud distinc-
ton of having paid its shareholders more
than 800, 900 and that without ever having
levied an assessment or built up q treas
ury through the sale of stock In other
words it is one Of those propositions that
has paid its way from "the grass roots
down. The mine stands out as an exam
pie of the character of liberalization that
is to be found on the other side of the
desert and now that more than passing
attention is being paid to the Deep Greek
region, on account of the building Of the
Western Pacific, there is reason to be-
lieve that the Utah's record will be duph-
Gated in the future by other properties.

no doubt that they will eventually come
In the meantime it is hoped that shipping

can be so adjusted that producers can

AS matters stand today continued
Mr. Clark, lack Of cheap fuel is the main
drawback to the establishment Of zinc
smelters in this country. Natural gas is
the best fuel for zinc smelling. If that
should be discovered out IN this country
In quantity and under good pressure 1t
would follow that zine smelters could
come In and do business on a most favor
able basis. Under present conditions,
however it is less expensive to haul ore
to the smelters than it would be to get
fuel to operate them nearer he mines.

NEW TALENT IN
THE BUCKHORN
Copper Operators Get in and Mines
Pass Into Hands of An
other Manager.
LANYON ZINC MAN HERE
SAYS UTAH WILL SOON OUT
STRIP COL CRADo.

Judging from scraps Of information
that are gradually cropping to the sur
face, it begins to look as though some
of the most powerful operators in the
country are becoming identified with
the combination that has undertaken
the purchase Of the BuckhOrn and
Ophir Tunnel properties at Ophir. This
talent, it is understood, is on the inside
with the Z. r. Cole combination which
controls the Calumet & Arizona and
other great mining propositions Of this
country. AS a result of the participa-
ti6n Of this element in the mining
world in the swinging OF the big Ophir
undertaking a change IL the policy is
10 be inaugurated between now and the
first of the coming month.
Up 30 the present time, the Western
Exploration company, the vendors in
the BuCkhOrn end Of the deal, has been
looking after work at the properties
through its own engineering depart
ment, in behalf Of the BuckhOrn Ore
company, the title of the purchasing
syndicate. The change, it is said, will
come with the installation Of r. NJ. At
water as general manager Of the prop
critics. Mr.. Atwater halls from Helena
and he is one of the engineers who re-
ported upon the mines when the deal
was made. He was formerly connected
with the London Exploration cOmpany's
staff and, as an engineer and mine
manager, he IS spoken Of in the high
est terms. He is expected here within
the next few hours, and upon his ar
rival the management OF the entire
proposition viii be turned over to him
as the representative of the purchasing
combination.
During tn last sixty days shipments
have been made from the properties
and a big mill run test has been made
A. 4
a. Clark's Ophir Hill mill for the pur-
pose of learning just what the mines
could be depended upon to do in a COM
merCial way. So eminently satisfactory
have these tests of the property 3
worth been that it Is understood no
further shipments will be made during
the winter months, at least, while every
effort will be directed in the further de-
velopment and opening up Of the vari-
Gus veins in which mining has been
carried on through the BuckhOrn, and
the extension Of the Ophir Tunnels

hill, in order that all of the lodges may

charge Of operations since the deal was
made, stated yesterday that the con-
centrates made in the test run at the
Clark mill sold for over So, 700 and. most
satisfactory though the test was. in his
judgment the bulk Of the ores from the
mines could be marketed direct at
greater profit, on the whole. than by
going to the expense of sorting and

character of the ore is such that il is
greatly desired by the smeIters for its

PoTosI PURCHASER IN TOWN.
Says the Good Springs Bonanza VIII
Be Systematically Operated.

Allen Mcdonnell, who is at the head
of the Duluth syndicate which has IN
dertaken the purchase of the famous
POtOsi lead and zinc mines at Good
Springs, New, passed through the city
yesterday on his way east from camp,
where he has been aiding Superinten-
dent w. +. Smith in getting things IN
der way. He stopped off between trains
to make arrangements for the market
ing Of the mines product through Man
ager L. A. Copeland of the Taylor &,
BruntOn sampling works. and to look
after other business matters in cOnnec-
ton with the undertaking.
Mr.. Mcdonnell stated that it would
be the policy of his syndicate to sys-
tematically open the mines and pre-
pare them for the heavy output Of
which they We're capable. In the be-
ginning, he said this work would be
rather slow, as there was much of a
preliminary nature to look after As
time goes by and room is made the
force at the mine would be gradually
increased and the necessary equipment
for extensive operation would be pro-
vided.
I'VE fully appreciate the fact" said
Mr. Mcdonnell, that our plans cannot
be executed in a day. While the mine
IS undoubtedly a big one. it has not
been put in shape to obtain the best
results, and we expect that it Will take
some little time to do it. Ore Will be
shipped, of course, as the work goes
along and during the year we hope to
have things in good running order"

the Outlook for Utah.

II. S. Clark. general manager of the

10 spend few days among the clients Of
the big zine smelling company in this
section. Mr.. Clark was in conference
with the COmpanys local representative
II. y. Quimby during the day but he
found time to chat for a while on status
of the zinc mining industry, as it affects
this region.
Utah is furnishing US with consider
able business at the present time" said
the visitor, and we begin to appreciate
the fact that your mineral resources are
greater than we at first thought them
to be, particularly as they relate to the
production of zinc ore. We had consid-
cred that Colorado was more prolific of
zinc ore. We had considered that Colo
RADIO was more prolific of zinc-bearing
minerals than Utah but from the aspect
of the business it seems that in this con-
clusiOn we havt been mistaken. Under
favorable conditions, believe that Utah
will Outstrip Colorado altOgetkar in the
production Of the metal which, has so
long been held back through the penaIi-
cation Of the smelters.

sibly do to stimulate the mining and

SMELLING COMPANY TO START.
Ogden Corporation Files Articles and
Is Qualified to Do Business.

Articles of incorporation of the Utah
Smelling company of Ogden were filed in
the office Of the secretary of state yes
terday. The company has a, capital stock
Of $500, O00 divided into shares of a par
value Of 500 each. David Eccles is presi-
dent; Bella hadish, vice president; Charles
w Nibley, secretary, and John -Pingree,
treasurer. Henry H. Rolapp completes
the board Of directors.
The company is now planning the cree
ton Of smelling works a few miles out of
Ogden and the promise is made that work
will be under way within the next ninety
days Just where the ore is coming from
to feed the plant is not being paraded, but
as the present smelling capacity Of Utah
plants is altogether inadequate on certain
classes of ore, at least, 1t is possible that
the new company will not find much diff
l.cuIty in getting the overflow.
