new SALT LAKE
mining EXCHANGE

Within few weeks, possibly by
the end of the present month, the
Utah Stock and Mining exchange, a
rival institution to the existing ex-
change, will likely have opened it's
doors and started in the business of
dealing in mining stocks and other
securities. c. w. Hartley is the faith
er of the enterprise, or at least it's
sponsor, and he outlined Saturday
what the scheme was.
TT will be an association organic
ed on practically the same lines as
the existing exchange. There will be
200 seats or memberships, fifty of
which will remain unissued and
never sold for less than $500 each.
The $50 memberships will be sold at
5000 each, and l want to say that
one-third of the number is already
subscribed for by some of the best
business and mining talent in this
city. 1t is the aim to have about
.one-half of the seats sold to Salt

a number of times, the owners more

THE GROWTH
OF The BONANZA
IS COMMEMORATE

Seven years ago yesterday the Boz
nanza moved into the quarters it now
occupies at the corner of Brougher
avenue and Central street. The
building at that time was about
thirty feet long and sixteen feet wide
and was spacious enough to give COW
ering to it's entire plant.
Since that date the Bonanza has
been making additions to it's plant
and the new machinery arriving
caused the enlargement of the build
ing until today we have the largest
and most complete printing plant in
southern Nevada, covering a ground
space of over 2400 square feet. 1t
has one of the most complete bind
cries this side of San Francisco, the
work turned out proving the asser-
ton.

75-horsepower Locomobile of the

CUTICURA SOON CURED
HIS FEARFUL ECZEMA

About year ago an itching hunor
began to appear around the back of my
hand. It started in to spread, and
pretty soon it covered both my hands
and got up over my wrists and even
up to the elbows. The itching and
burning were terrible. My hands got
all scaly and when scratched, as
was doing a good part Of the time, the
surface would be covered with blisters
bad in around the pit Of my thumbs
that I could not move the thumbs
without deep cracks appearing. I went
to my doctor, but his medicine could
only stop the itching and did not seem
to heal my hands up at all. At night

The "Picket."

The picket was generally inflicted on
cavalry and artillery men and was a
singularly brutal bit of torture. A long
post, near which stood a stool, was
driven into the ground. The delinquent
was ordered to mount the stool, and
his right hand was fastened to hook
In the post by moose, drawn up as
high as it could be stretched, round his
wrist. A stump the height of the stool,
with it's end cut to round and blunt
point, was also driven into the earth
close to the post. Then the stool was
taken away, and the sufferer had moth
ing to rest his bare feet upon but the
stump. (which. though it did not usu-
ally break the skin" says Captain
Crosse. put him in great torture, his
only means Of relief being by resting
his weight on his wrist. the pain of
which soon became intolerable." One
can very well believe him, especially
when he makes the addition that a
man was not infrequently left to stand
in this position for half an hour. al
though the orthodox period of endW-
ance was fifteen minutes. - London

THE SANCl DIAMOND.

It's Course Since 'he Time Queen
Elizabeth Bought It.
Elizabeth of England purchased the
famous Sanci diam when De Sanci,
extravagant and splendid, was low in
purse. When Charles became king and
sent Buckingham to Paris to bring
back his bride, Henrietta, the messen-
ger wore the Sanci. Charles quarreled
with his queen, Henrietta, and with
his parliament, and not long afterward
Cromwell asked for his head. Henri
eta gave the diamond to the Earl of
Worcester. Worcester probably gave
1t back to the Stuarts, for whom he
ruined himself, for it descended to
James II. James disastrous reign cost
him the crown, but be kept the Sanci.
That and other jewels which he took
away with him supported various Stu
art pretenders. This particular one was
sold to Louis XIV. Of France for $780,
600. 5.I~, e.
Stolen with other jewels in 1892. the
Sanci disappeared for thirty.six years.
A jeweler came by it, and Prince DEM
idof purchased it for his wife. Twen-
ty years later she let it 60 to Jamset-
jee Jeejeeboy, rich merchant Of Bonn
bay. Again it appeared at a Paris

PUT THE employees TO SLEEP
Drowsiness of Custom House Men Ex-
planned When cocosnuts Were
Examined.

Officers, clerks and janitors en-
ployed by the Brownsville custom
house have for the last few days been
suffering from a strange attack re-
sembling the dreaded sleeping sick
ness. and the syniptoms were becom-
ing so accumulated that the matter
was getting to be serious, until this
morning a sack of cocoanuts ad-
dressed to a Chinaman at ,San Anto-
MO, Tex. was hauled out into the cor
raj of the custom house for more con-
yenient keeping.
The sack of cocoanuts arrived by ex-
press from Tampico by way of Mon
terey several days ago and had not
been called for.
The express messenger, baggage
master and postal clerk, all of whom
occupy the same car, were last asleep
when the train pulled into the station.
The express messenger was lying with
his head upon the sack and was the
most difficult CT the three to awaken.
When it was found that they were
not drunk examination of the contents
of the sack was made and it was
found that one of the cocoanuts was
merely the shell. the space within con-
tanning opium. The sack was seized
by the authorities on the Tess side

aEa PRECIOUS SECRET

Senator Elkins has said that his
daughter has been driven almost dis
tracted by the annoying Publicity and
the insistence of newspaper men con
corning her movements. and the news
stories of her return to the United
States told that she appeared to have
undergone great mental strain.
The public in general and the
newspapers in particular have pretty
literally expressed their opinions on
the marriage of American actresses
TO foreigners, and that Miss Elkins,
IKE all other young American women
who contemplate or consummate
such marriages. has lost the favor OF
the best of Americans, is not mat
ter INTENDED for discussion herein.
The point is that Miss Elkins has
been nearly driven distracted by
newspapers trying to make news and
public interest of what is entirely
private matter. To the average Amer
lean girl much of the Joy attendant
upon her marriage is the delightful
secrecy maintained of the details. It
may be about the only time a woman
likes to keep a secret, but no one
will deny that in this one instance
her silence is profound. Why Miss
Elkins' affairs should be of more gen
eral concern than those of any other
American girl about to wed is merely
an acknowledgment of snobbish-
ness which we as a people continual
ly exhibit
But Miss Elkins' case is but one
instance. Little by little the Hearst
idea has left its impress on journal
ism in the United States until any
prominence, social, financial or polit-
ical. is sufficient reason why the
most intimate details OF the private
life of individuals should be made
news stories for the whole world to
read. And the taste of the public
has become so perverted that it has
come to believe that there is real
interest and legitimate news value
in the stuff. Miss Elkins hasn't a
great deal of sympathy among Amer
leans, but her case is but one of hun
dreds where people have come to a
point at which they would rather en-
counter a smallpox epidemic than a
newspaper man.
