Dillon, Wyo., April AL Smith has

here, showing the same character of
quartz as at Arlington, the precious
metal showing in specks all through
the rock. This property was owned

to do the assessment work, and it was
again thrown open TO location.
Failed to Find the Gold.
A 35-foot shaft was sunk OF the vein
by the former owner but the gold was
overlooked. The gold bearing vein is
about twenty feet wide. Numerous
snowslides have occurred in this sec

so far no lives have been reported lost.
An electric drill outfit will be installed
on the independence property, three
miles north of Dillon, as soon as the
machinery can be brought in from the

grow If his hide won't stretch? How
can We learn more if we already know

nothing is complete, finished. All of
us are imperfect. Even the climate
acts funny at times. But, some how

that such a thing as a serious blunder

from her until this summer, when nearly
two years had passed. One morning she

A good deal depends on the vigor of the
stock from which each variety ia taken
as to the result of the cross. Ia this
case that we refer to, the plum seems
to predominant; in others, no doubt the
peach would predominate; but the re-
suit of this sort Of grating and cross
ing must certainly be of the highest in
terest; and the more it is experimental
with on scientific lines the more certain
it is that the fruit industry will re-
ceive benefit and new accessions be de
veloped of commercial value.
We recommend to those in charge Of
the fruit exhibit at Boise that good
samples Of all such experiments that
can be had be taken along with the
Utah exhibit at Boise; they certainly
would add variety and attractiveness
to that exhibit, and would afford good
hints not only for Utah people, but for
the people of all the intermountain
States; and if, as we suspect may he
the case, the farmers of other States
are pursuing like Investigations and ex-
periments TO these referred 10 in Utah,
then this fruit exhibit TO be made at
the Irrigation Congress at Boise may
we'll be the starting point for advances
in fruit-raising that will be both iulpor-
tant and of high value, Of practical con-
cern to every horticulturist in the world
and of Importance in all its fruit mar.

A MERE CONVENIENCE.

The local Democracy is divided
broadly into two classes; one com
posed Of men who say: "Let us do
the talking on CAB day and we care
not who holds the Offices and the
other consisting of less practical indi-
viduals who say: "Let us hold the
Offices and we care not who delivers
the oratory.'
There may be, and doubtless are,
many other divisions in the Democratic
party in Utah. but this is the essen
tial and radical line of demarcation.
The hrst named is the more practical;
the men who do the talking achieve
the high aim Of their Democratic ex-
istence, while the men who would like
to hold the Offices never are, but al
ways are to be, blest.
1t is q wise dispensation of Provi-
dence that gives an eternally springing
hope for Office in the breasts of Judge
Powers and Judge King and Elder
Mathonihah Thomas; and with equal dis
crimination reposes active lungs in the
breasts Of Fisher Harris and the other
tremendous tads who would prefer to
have ten minutes Of glory at talkfest
than to save the Nation by being in
Congress and voting for free trade.
But wise and disposing as a gener~
Gus Providence may be, the miracle of
fitting the present-day Democracy in
Utah to present-day needs seems not to
have been permitted to US by the Di-
vine Author. In all its career, though
the Democratic party may endure for
another half century in Utah, it will
never have had another such splendid
opportunity for sturdy, courageous ac-
tion, and for the kind Of intelligent
self-sacrifce which is the sublime form
of selfshness. Years ago when tho
Territory was in the throes of transi-
tion from old political conditions to
new, an aggressive Democracy recon

UTAH FRUIT EXPERIMENTS.

We are glad to note that President
Horticulture is sanguine as to the fruit
exhibit that will be made by Utah at
tho coming session Of the Irrigation
Congress at Boise. Mr.. Judd says that,
owing TO some peculiar conditions and
the early date Of that congress, which
will occur prior to the ripening of a
good deal of the best fruit, the exhibit
from this State will not be as large and
complete as he would like to see. Still,
he says the showing will be q credit
to the State.
No one is a better Judge of this mat
ter than Mr.. Judd He had charge of
the fruit exhibit Of the State at the
session of the Irrigation Congress at
Ogden; he had charge of the State IS
fruit exhibit at the st. Louis World g
Fair, and has usually had the chief con.
troll Of the fruit exhibit at the va9i-
Gus State Fairs in Utah. His judg-
ment in the matter Of fruit exhibits
is excellent and experienced; he knows
take it that when he expresses salts
faction with the prospect Of Utah g ex-
hibit at Boise, we may all remain fairly
content, and be secure in the knowl-
edge that, while Utah may not be do
ing absolutely her "level best" she
will be doing well, and there will be
nothing to regret in that Boise ex-
hibit.
1t has been q fair season for Utah
fruit. There was a little frost in the
late spring. but that did not do any
material damage. The hot season
forced some of the fruit unduly and
made the season for some Of it rather
short, but on the whole it has been
good fruit year; and Utah ought to do
as well as any Of her neighbors; we
hope she will do somewhat better than
any one Of them.
We notice besides the standard fruit
that there is getting to be spirit Of
experiment abroad among the fruit.
growers here that is very helpful and
hopeful. There is disposition to ex
POM oOulcWudL Oh IuS lines laid
out by Mr.. Luther Burbank of south.
ern California, and to CROSS varieties of
fruit In the hope Of bettering one or the
other, or establishing new varieties.
More or less success has attended these
experiments, and we are liable to have
IN a few years in Utah some very re-
markable and some very good fruit re-
suits from these experiments. For in
stance, there ia a man down on Mill
creek who year OF two ago grated
on an orange peach tree a fine variety
OF plum; the result Of that is a sort of
cross between the peach and the plum
that is quite different from either, and
quite different from the apricot, which
also seems to be sort Of cross between
the plum and the peach. In the ono
case the peach is grated on the plum
and in the other the plum is grated on
the peach, and with selection of varie-
ties and special care there is differ
ence Of results with these processes.

A FINE SCHOOL PAPER.

A noteworthy address at the conven-
ton Of Presbyterian school teachers
which has just been held in this city
was that of Mr.. A. S. Martin, who was
one Of those teachers in former times,
and more recently and now an honored
and efficient master in the public
schools, being present principal of the
great Grant school in this city. His
address was largely in the nature of
"reminiscences, and most faithfully were
they related in most fit and adequate
language.
In giving the mission schools in Utah
the credit for awakening an interest
in and being the real precursors of the
public schools here, Mr.. Martin was
strictly In accord with fact, and stated
accurately the legitimate succession. In
giving large credit TO those missions he
rendered tribute where tribute is due,
and in speaking of some Of those former
teachers as models for teachers Of all
times and under all circumstances, be
but did justice to the character, ability
and efficiency of some Of the admirable
teachers OF that day. In speaking of
what was professedly the public school
system Of the former times in Utah, Mr.,
Martin ftly characterized it in these
words;
Another influence detrimental to tho public
school idea the practical union OF the
church with the schools. So close this
union that the church and school property
were common in most instances, and the in
struction Of the two oyerappcd and blended
so that il was impossible to tell whcro tho
ono left OF and the other began. The
suit was that where q parent wished to cut
loose from the teachings Of the church he
must also withdraw his children from tho
public schools.
No one who was acquainted with the
actual condition of affairs so well de-
scribed by Mr.. Martin, and who has
any clear recollection of that time, can
fail to recognize the picture drawn by
him as absolutely true to life. We no.
tice that the convention very properly
and worthily decided to print in PAM
phlet form Mr.. Clemensen g papers on
Mormonism. These are papers Of the
very highest merit. If it is not too late
and if we would not be doomed intru
sive in suggesting it, we would say that
this paper by Mr.. Martin would be
fit supplement, or appendix, or continua-
ton, as the case may be, of Mr.. Glenn
enson IS discourse, and would be entirely
appropriate to be bound with it, within
the Same cover. Mr.. Martin g paper is
certainly one of the best presentations
Of school origins in Utah that has yet
been made by any one; and while the
of the very highest character and emf
nently deserving of the recognition Civ
en- to them by the convention, we can
not refrain from urging that Mr., Mar
tins paper is eminently worthy also Of
publication by the convention.
