FINANCE COMPANY AND
ERECT STAMP MILL

Gov. ID. S. Dickerson aud G.. l..
Rickard spent yesterday in the Blaine
district, where they examined the
Blaine mine, in which the governor
is largely interested.
On returning last night, Mr..
Rickard stated that the property was
one of the very best he had seen for
some time and that all it needed was
a mill in order to reach a dividend
basis. He reached this opinion from
paintings he had mad from the
dump and from the ledge, which has
been gone down on to depth of over
500 feet and which is from / to &
feet in width. According to MI.
Richard, he has taken an option on
a block of the company's stock and
if the samples, which he brought IN
with him, show the values which the
paintings indicate he will immediate
ly proceed to finance the treasury
and have a ten stamp mill erected.
Mr.. Richard leaves Monday for
Pioneer but will be mere again with

LET CONTRACT
ON MD0NALO
KEARNS AND KEITH RETURN TO
SALT LAKE FROM INSPECTION
TRIP TO PROPERTIES HERE
SURPRISED AT THE WORK.

After inspecting their Ely holdings
and looking over the Nevada camp to
some extent, Thomas Kearns and
David Keith, returned this morning,
says the Deseret News. They made
the trip especially to look over the
affairs. of the Mcdonald Ely and the
Success properties, in which they are
the controlling factors.
Mr.. Keith this morning declared
that he was more than surprised at
the work at the Steptoe Valley smell
ter, which is at present handling g.
900 tons of ore each day. He de-
clared he did not believe that it was
possible for the smelter to handle
as much ore until he saw it accomp-
lished. At present he declares an
enormous tonnage is coming from
the Nevada Consolidated and other
Guggenheim owned interests of the
district.
While at Ely Mr.. Kearns and Mr..
Keith received a number of bids for
the sinking of n of their shafts on
the Mcdonald Ely property. Within
a few days a contract will be given
and the shaft will be SEN 800 feet
deeper, getting a depth of something
like 700 feet. At this property there
is quite a tonnage blocked out.
At the Success property consider
able work of late has been for the
purpose of getting a patent to all OF
the ground. This has been nearly
completed and the patents will soon
be granted.

E. w. HULsE & co. LETTER.

The market opened. with a good
demand for all classes of. stocks and
higher prices. Industrials all re-
port increase IN business. Traders
in stocks are now trying to discount
the quarterly reports that the various
companies issue this month. In
doubtedly they are very encourage
ing, as there has been a great deal
OF buying by insiders who are In po-
sition to know the actual conditions.
Nevada Con. was the feature OF the
local coppers and is selling now at
high water mark. We believe 1t
will go to $50 in the next 80 days.
Cumberland Ely also showed more
strength on a fair buying demand.
Giroux is veryeactive, ranging up and
down from six to eight points nearly
every day. Ely Central opened nrm
at $1.12k bid but wae soon nam
mered down by the bears, who picked
out this particular stock on the curb
and forced it to 93A bid, $I.o0
asked. A local pool who shorted
the stock at $1.12h for 5000 shares
filed back today slightly under $l.
This stock undoubtedly had a too
rapid advance and a great deal OF
proft taking has been in evidence
in the past few days, which has had
it's effect upon the market. The STOCK
will probably be accumulated again
around these prices and sell at a
much higher figure in n mex
thirty days. Mason Valley and Bos-
ton Ely are very tempting buys at
prevailing prices.

WESTERN PACIFIC WORK.
Through Train Service May Be Es-
tablished During Next Fall.

SALT LAKE, July BOT. j..
Wyche in charge of construction of
the eastern end of the Western Pa
cific railroad, spent a few hours In
Salt Lake yesterday, coming from
Elko. Mr.. Wyche said that rapid
progress was being made in closing
up the 2O0-mile of gaps in the new
road between Salt Lake and San
Francisco, although there had been
DELAYS in the last few weeks on ac-
count of the SLOW delivery of rails
from the mills in the east.
Unless unforeseen difficulties are
encountered, the officials of the road
expect to make connections between
Salt Lake and San Francisco early
next fall. 1t will be a few months
later before regular service will be
established, owing to the necessity
for building stations, yards and side
tracks.
8. v. Derrah, assistant general
freight agent for the Gould lines at
Salt Lake. has been busy for the
last few weeks with tentative plans
for train schedules and rates for the
eastern portion of the road. Mr..
Derrab said yesterday that 1t was
nossible that arrangements would be
made for excursions out from Salt
Lake to the immense salt beds on
the Western Pacific in the western
mart of the state. If there is any ap-
narent demand for this service IL

miles Of you.
moving from the north or northeast
there will be rain inside of twenty,
four hours, no matter how cold it is,
3. Cumulus clouds always move
from a region of fair weather to re-
gion where storm is forming.
4. When the temperature suddenly
falls there is a storm forming south of
you.
rises there is storm forming north of
you.
6. Cirrus clouds always move from
a region where storm is in progress
to region of fair weather.
7. When cirrus clouds are rapidly
moving from the south or southeast
there will be a cold rainstorm on the
morrow, if it is in summer; if it is in
winter. there will be a snowstorm.
8. Whenever heavy, white frost oc-

ing of this; it is stroke of imagina-
ton; but is the moral meaning Of 1t
not significant and true? The trans.
fguratton took place during prayer,
and the painters pious lesson for us
Is that prayer raises us above the
cares and anxieties and sins of the
world. wait on the Lord, and He
shall strengthen thine heart" "They
that wait on the Lord shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they shall run,
and not be weary; they shall walk,
and not faint" We need this spirit
ual elevation. THE world is too much
with u.s.
We may not always be able to speak
Prayer is often 1narticulate, but he
who inspires 1t can always interpret
it. When we call He will answer.
When we confide in Him He will honor
our faith.
Pray, therefore, what you feel, what
you think, what you need, and let your
prayer end when 1t ceases to be the
real expression of your needs or
thought and feeling. Pray with
Christ's idea of God within your mind
Believe that He is your Father; that
no law can limit Him, for law Is
merely the manner of His working;
that His unwillingness to give Is
never the cause why you do not re-
ce1ve; that the purpose of His holy
love in granting or denying your
wishes Is to make you perfect; that it
is impossible so wise and loving a
heart will ever be needless of your
prayer and be mistaken when He gives
or withholds. The measure in which
you trust Christ is the measure in
which He helps you, and your trust in
Christ will give tone and spirit to
your prayer. He will trust you with
His blessing as you trust Him for it.
The important thing is not the judg-
ment, but the will, with which you
pray. That will assert itself in quiet
asking, in earnest and prolonged seek
Ing, In vigorous knocking, when the
kingdom of heaven suffereth violence,
and the violent take it by force; but,
in whatever way you are obliged to
pray, let your will be Internationally
surrendered to God. eff We then, be-
ing evil, know how to give good gifts
unto your children, how much more
shall your Father who Is in heaven
give good things to them that ask
Him"

1870 deserves fame for many othel
things, for poems. essays, lectures and
works Of philanthropy, but she will al.
ways be known to the greater number as
the writer Of the great "Marseillaise" of
the Federal armies. While on a visit in
1851 to the army encamped near Wash,
ington she wrote the stirring lines, basine
them on the old John Brown melody
This can never become a great interna.

loved by the American people. 1t is in.

congregation when they are afforded an
opportunity to join in singing as a hymn
the song so many of their fathers sang
on the feld.l
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming Of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of
his terrible quick sword:
His truth is marching on.
Chorus
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on
I have seen him in the watchf1res Of
hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the
evening dews and damps;
I have read his righteous sentence by
the dim and fiaring lamps;
His day is marching on.

nished rows of steel:
LAS We deal with my contemners so
with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born Of woman, crush
the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on"
He has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts of men
before his judgment seat.
O, be swift, my soul, to answer him!
Be jubilant, my feet:
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that trans
figures you and me;
AS he died to make men holy, let US
die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
