 Il have no hesitancy ia expressing my absolute confidence in Gov. Hog gait. There is no question as to his honesty of purpose, good judgment amt courageousness He is confronted with difficult problem through the contention that is rife in Alaska on the subject of territorial government; but feel assured that in taking the stand he has on that subject and ether mat. ters of importance pertaining to Alas ka he has been influenced only by his impression of what is most needed bv the territory And, 1 have good reason to think his judgment is excellent as we'll as conservative.

lar Addition to Local Mar
ket Novelties.
SMALL C0NSIGNMENTS
OF FRESH VEGETABLES
The Fish Market Considerably
DemOralized; Dealers
Hope for Best.

Just to slightly modify the vexations
of the cook who searched the market
Friday in vain for something new, Sat.
urday saw some of the dealers with
small consignments of fresh vegetables
on hand Some California asparagus
managed to reach Zion, after a weary
snapped up in twinkling at % cents
a pound retail. The California stalks
are really very fine and will help some
when it comes to today's dinner
Cucumbers there we're, too, the aris-
tocrats Of the row yesterday, for they
sold for 30 and 80 cents apiece, which
meant that only on the tables Of the
Plutocrat and the apostles will the green
boys appear today.
The very first shipment of new pota-
toes to be displayed in open market
were on hand Yesterday, selling for 1j
cents, two pounds for % cents. They
were little things, but seemed popular
with every one, the price seemingly not
acting as deterrent. These are from
Los Angeles, and also had struggle
getting through. Green peppers at
Utah lettuce was scarce. Celery-small,
wiltedlooking bunches-were sold two
for 25 cents.
California also contributed some
watercress, which, however, seemed IN
ferior to the Utah variety, being much
eoarser and lighter. 1t sold for ) cents
bunch.
A real treat were mushrooms, only
displayed by one dealer and offered. for
80 cents a pound. They came from the
surrounding country and the supply
lasted but few hours.
Eggs remain stationary, though one
dealer along the row cut prices yester-
day, displaying sign announcing
Fresh ranch eggs for 17Ea cents"
This. however, was the only place whore
they were not 90 and 25 cents a dozen,
The fish market is so demoralized
that the dealers look thoroughly dis
couraged. Only one shipment has come
to them, catfish from the Sacramento
river.
Poultry is as stiff as the dealers can
make it, broilers and turkeys bringing
the same price. Eastern hens are sell
ing for II cents wholesale, while spring
chickens bring Is cents pound.
But now that Saturday is over, the
dealers are happy, for they have been
promised, absolutely sure, that there
will be many shipments arriving on
Monday and that next week Will be
a hummer in market realms.

THE official statement of the New

that IN the previous week the loan con-
traction did not reflect equally lnrss

would seem that the then uurecorded
average loan contraction should have
been brought over.
THE discrepancy In loans Is in part sc-
counted for by the dropping Of the Astor

By Monday the Steptoe Lead and
Copper Mining company should be well

ganizers being busy Saturday in clos

The property to be taken over by this
organization is that secured early in
the game at Duck Creek by A, j. Davis
and w. n. Tibbals, and consists of four
full claims, selected when the largest
portion Of that rich lead sec ton was
open for location. Now there is hardly

locator, the properties stringing out for
many miles towards Ely,
The Steptoe company will be capti-
taliZed for 100000 shares, of a par
value Of 81 each, the owners recently
having completed survey for pat
ent. The miners employed at the prop
erty have sent frequent small shipments
of ore from a three-foot streak of fine
rock, and assays demonstrate the pres
ence of as high as 75.5 per cent lead,
with small silver contents. The ore is
extremely clean and attractive, and oc-
ours in vein matter said to be anywhere
from thirty to sixty feet in width. Duck
Creek is distinctly a Salt Lake section,
local people having secured many of
the most desirable properties in the dis
trict.
