Are The Palmy Days OF The Silver King Gone?
Great Regret the Thought
Much For Salt Lake. And Which Has Paid More
Dividends Has Passed Its Zenith Forever

The recent behavior of silver King
stock is only one more demonstration
OF the fact that there comes an end to
the palmy days Of all mines. Proper
ties which may be considered to be
valued at millions OF dollars today,
must IN time depreclate, for like the
drawing of wheat out of bin, the daily
drain upon the ore reserves will even
tually deplete them. Thus, the best OF
properties becomes in time worked
out mine, and II passes into history
becomes a has been.
While there Is not the slightest doubt
that the Silver King mine has yet a
long lease OF life and that It will con-
tlnue to be an important producer
from the camp of Park City for good
many years to come, yet the indica-
tlons point very strongly that this great

made on It's richer ore bodies that its
present market value Is around SIG or

But the fortunate thing for Park

veloRed to take the place OF those tina.
have begun 10 wane. During the past
year the Daily Judge and Little Bell
have made notable advs noes and the
best opinion is that they have not yet
reached the zenith OF their greatness.
II 1t shall prove true, as many con-
servatlve mining and business men
believe, that the silver King has passed
its zenith forever, and that hereafter
1t will produce ores and values far less
than heretofore, there viii be much re-
greet IN Utah and Salt Lake, FOR which
this splendid mine has done so much.

ROOT WILL RE0RGANIZE
THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

Chicago, May ia dispatch to the
Record Herald from Washington says:
Secy. Root intends to undertake the
reorganization Of the consular service
as soon as the new lazy for that pur-
pose goes into effect on the first of
July, and so far as IL viii permit he
will apply the merit system to all pro-
motions. In the original bill submit
ted by him to Congress II was provd-
ed that all appointm should be
made to the lowest grade, as in the
army and navy, after an examination
to determine the quail iications of the
applicant, and that all vacancies in the
upper grades should he filled by tho
promotion OF those wh,, had shown the
highest degree of usefulness and ELL
cheney. Neither the senators nor the
representatives would permit this, be-
cause the consular ser vice IL about all
that is left for them to reward local
politicians. They struck out that pro-
vision and also another of equal impor-
lance, which gave the secretary OF
state power to transfer consuls from
one place 10 another, according to his
Judgment of their fitrGss, and the re-
quirements of the service. Therefore
under the new law as ~ present, when
ever transfer Is mada new nomlna-
ton must be sent up TO the senate for
conformation.
In the reorganization Secy. Root pro.
poses to carry out the spirit of his orig
inal proposition as far as possible. and
hereafter all vacancies IN the higher
consulates are to be filled by promo
al mn. Hoe
TO be made TO the lowes grade. An ex-
animation will he reqmred TO ascertain
the qualifications of the, candidate, and
he must be able TO speak the language
Of the country to which. he Is going eS-
cept China, Japan, Turkey and other
oriental countries. In such exceptions
the candidates must he able to speak
French. This rule Will be applied In
promotions also.

FIRE AT TAMARACK.


The Mining Journal OF Friday
states that the Tamarack copper
mine, Houghton county, the deepest
mine ir the world, is on fire, with
three miners missing and almost
certain TO have met death by suf-
location half to three quarters Of a
mile below the earth 8 surface.
The shafts have been sealed in the
hope OF smothering the blaze. The
mine contains several hundred mil
lion feet OF timber, but 1t is believed
that with the air shut of by her.
metically sealing all openings, the
property will escape heavy damage.
1t is the opinion that the fire will be
confined to a comparatively small
aera, and that it will be possible te
resume operations within q short
time.

COLD AND STORMY.
Hicks Promises an Interesting January
in Northern Michigan.

Rev. Ira R. Hicks, the st. Louis
prognosticator, has made the follow
ing predictions for the month of
January in this latitude. Opening
clear and cold there is q prompt
warming up, followed by snow fur
ries and generally unsettled ,wea-
ther. The first reactionary storm
period is central on the 7th, 9th and
9th During this time the north is
warned 10 expect high wind, bliz-
yards aud general storminess. Fol
lowed by q severe cold wave about
the 18th.
A regular storm period is central
on the 14th. Commencing on the
18th the barometer will fall and the
temperature rise, showing gathering
OF the storms that will! grow in
intensity from day to day until their
culmination about the 10Th, then
severe cold wave will follow. Hicks
asks all to remember that storms,
billiards. and cold waves do not drop
down all over the continent in a
lump, but travel progressively from
west to east.
About the twentieth there will be
snow in the north followed by colder
and a general storm period from the
23d to the 9th. A dash OF severe
northerly billiards is not at all i'm
probable at this period. The month
will close with warmer weather and
storms OF snow aud wind.

1t is stated that there is a young

She was at church and sat directly
behind well dressed stranger with

who grow up to be motherly old

would be if some kind hearted girl
would do as much for her father

hanging down his back. So when
the audience arose for the
hymn she conluded to pick it off.
Carefully raising her hand, she gave
q little twich, but the raveling was
longer than she expected, and foot
or more appeared Setting her
teeth, she gave pull and about
yard OF the horrible thread hung
down his back. This was getting
embarassing, but determined she

that she was unraveling his UNDER
