DER KAISER CALLED DOWN.

The funniest thing that has hap
pened in the great world in year
was the shining down the tree by
Emperor William. He had been
strutting around, telling the world
what he was doing, and what he in
tended to do, when all at once his
big bluff was called by his parlia-
ment. The legislative bodies, and
the royal family took William into a
side room. and, when he came out,
he gave out another interview that
sounded like he had been severely
spanked while out, and that he knew
what it was all for. No great ruler
ever before kept his throne and bow
ed as humbly as has Emperor Will
liam. And he was wise to do it..
Germany will rule herself hereafter,
without the help of any God-given
emperor, and, if the ruler is not sat
isfied with being merely the picture
show emperor or king then he will
have to step down and out. Ger
many is too far advanced to permit
anything in the way of government
save rule by the people. If T. Roose-

TWO MORE STATES.

President Roosevelt has announced
his intention of recommending sep
arate statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico in his coming message
to congress. Since both political
platforms declared for this, there is
reason to believe we will soon have
two new states in the union, making
forty eight in all, and cleaning up
the last contiguous territories. This
will add greatly to the strength of
the west in the senate, although but
little in the representation in the
house. The proposed new states are
ofsnall population, and an effort
was made at the last session of con-
gress to admit them as one state.
This plan. however, was opposed by
the politicians. and was not particu-
larily desirable to the people, as the
two ter ritories are not devoted
to each other, and neither wishes to
sacrifice its territorial name. We be
lieve Oklahoma and Indian Territory
were the only territories ever united
for admission, while Dakota terri
tory was made into two states at the
time ii received statehood, and other
states have been divided to make
new states years after they Joined
the union. When the union reaches
forty-eight states, it is likely to re-
main that number for several years.
Hawaii and Alaska may finally be-
come states, but there is no present
indication of their admission.

OIL EVER BREAKS OUT
IN UTAH COUNTY

AdViceS from Utah county are to the
effect that the oil excitement which start
ed in the southern part of the state has;
worked noTthward and has reached Utah
county. As a result a large territory of
supposedly oil-bearing land has been and
is now being located. on the east shore
of Utah lake. Options have been taken
on a large tract, or. rather, several tracts
of land. for Los Angeles company, and
local men have located other tracts en-
bracing thousands of acres. which will
be prOspected by a company formed by
the locaters and by Nevada or eastern
capitalists. who are now making inquiries
as to the nature of the country.
The lands contiguous to the lake have
been considered favorable for oil for some
time, and it seems probable that thor
ough test will be made in the near fu-
ture. Natural gas is constantly escaping
from the bottom lands on the east of
the lake and where the water has over
flowed the land and ice has formed the
gas comes through holes in the ice in
such volume that it is easily ignited.
Small wells driven on the land have
brought a continuous strong flow of gas
and an oil sediment has formed on the
surrounding water. For some reason no
steps have been taken to develop the
county for oil in the past, although the
conditions have been known for years,
and have attracted favorable comment;
but the time now seems ripe. through at
tention having been called to Utah oil
lands, and it iS practically certain that
thorough tests will be made.

CHICAGO man
TALKS RAWH|OE
Business in Town Property Is
Booming and New Strikes
Are Daily Made.

J. t. Snitzler, president of the Snitz-
Ter Advertising company of Chicago,
was ia the city yesterday on his way
back from a trip to the coast and a
visit to the much-talked-of camp of
Rawhide, where he heads leasing COM
pany that is operating portion of the
Roseberg group and where big results
are anticipated. During his short stay
in the camp, Mr.. Snitzler bought TWEEN
ty acres of ground to the south of where
his company is operating and within a
few hundred feet of where important
discoveries of placer gravel have been
made during the past few days. The
visitor was in the camp early in jan
uary and he declares that the growth of
the town since that time has simply
been astounding.
Strikes are being made in all direc-
tions," said Mr.. Snitzler during the af-
ternoon. and, where the place had an
estimated population of 1,500 less than
two months ago, it is no exaggeration
to say that there are fully $500 people
there now. Thirty-feot lots on the main
street that were selling at and around
$3.50 when | was there in January, and
which l then considered exorbitant
prices. are now commanding from $4,000
to $1,000. The owner of a sixty-foot
corner at the junction OF the main and
the principal cross street of the place,
on which is located a two-story frame
building, turned down an offer Of ST.
800 for the place the day 1 was there.
The town now boasts three banks
and four newspapers. One of these is
a daily and one of the others will begin
printing daily within few days.
There is telephone and photographic con-
nection with the outside world, and
there are prospects of competing lines
in both within few weeks. The place
is located twenty-five miles from
SchurZ, on the Southern Pacific, and
fifty miles from FallOn. Autos are run
ming from both points and freight is
being hauled in by each route, as we'll.
The place is certainly a hummer, and
the excitement there is intense. From
the best information obtainable I have
reached the conclusion that the district
is going to make good in all directions -

Recently, k comes from q most

the Cumberland Ely Mining company
secured d tentative call on the proper

pany. An effort, it is understood, was
made at the time to obtain a formal
option, but this the Federal-Ely would
not agree TO, unless substantial pre-
liminary payment, as an evidence of
good faith on the part of the purchaS-

understanding was finally reached
that, should Il tender of the sum de-

Bingham, Feb. 20.-The new PhoeniS
mill will start up this morning for q
try-Out. Considerable delay was ex-
perienced in getting the machinery here
from the east, ana for this reason OPP
erations have been delayed over a
month. If the new mill proves to be III

will begin active operations at once
The raise connecting the lower tunnel
with the upper tunnel was completed
last week. This will permit of opera
lions in both tunnels. The product OF
the upper tunnel will be lowered and
brought to the surface through the low
er tunnel, at the mouth of which the new
mill stands. Two shifts of thirty-five
men each will be put on in the mine
and three shifts in the mill. giving en-
ployment to over one hundred men.
The Utah Consolidated started ship
ping Saturday. A standing order for
sixteen f1fty-ton cars per day was let
to the Rio Grande railroad. This means
that 500 tons of ore will be shipped by
the Utah Consolidated to the American
Smelling & Refining company at Gar
field every day. The tram is running
day and night and the reserve bins al
the headhouse are rapidly filling up.
The Utah Copper is sending its regu-
lar quota of 100 cars a day to Garfield
and added to this is an average of twen-
ty cars day handled by the mill at
Copperton.
The Boston Consolidated is showing
the usual activity, and although falling
little short of the average of 2,5Of
tons, it has been due to accidents at the
mine. They expect to ship their usual
amount in the future.
The Utah-Apex has about thirty-five
men employed in development work,
and they are making good progress
The force will be increased and the new
mill opened up about the first of April
The smaller mines are showing con-
siderable activity. The Silver Shield is
on the shipping list and the Mystic
Shrine shipped a carload of high grade
this week. orders for cars have been
received from several other of the
smaller companies this week.

L don't believe" said a man close
to the inside yesterday, that the Fed

the terms 1t made a few weeks ago,
and it is certain that no such operators
as Judge w. H. Dickson, A. c. Ellis,

it means TO see options turned down.
They know the value of Federal-Ely
holdings and, If anybody gets the sat
isfaction OF turning the proposition
down they will, in my judgment, have
TO pay for that satisfaction"
The Federal-Ely company. in addi-
ton to owning a large acreage OF most
eligibly located mineral ground, ground
over which the tracks OF the Nevada
Northern railroad. on the line to the
Star Pointer and Cumberland-Ely' S
Veteran territory runs, owns the Heu-
ser ranch and its magnificent water
rights. This water supply is greater
than that which is now depended up
on TO supply the mammoth milling and
smelling works at McGill and, that it
is going TO be needed one of these days.
Is Just as sure as it is that there is
such place as Ely.
The owners OF the Federal-Ely con-
troll are not worrying over this asset
of the company and. whether they ever
utilize ii for the treatment of ore from
Federal-Ely ground or not, there is not
the slightest doubt that 1t will bring
big money. 1t is now considered worth
more than the entire capitalization of
the company. The flow has not varied
in forty years and the location of the
property Is such that, in addition to
the ranch lands. 1t affords about the
finest site IN the vicinity of the Ely
mines for mills and other reduction
works. More than one combination is
after it now. Five years from now it
will be worth $1,000 600
