NJ OF so very long ago three young
~ men were walking home from
~ banquet. One of the number was
a great talker. He made jokes about
everything they passed while the 9TH
ers only threw in a remark now and
then to keep the ball a-rolling. The
name of the lively one was Peter Por-
tico, and his companions were Hans
Schlutzel and Albert Conway.
The state house clock struck mid
night as the three turned the corner
of Lime street. 1t was very dark
and lonely thoroughfare. For some rea-
son no lights shone on the lamp posts,
and the only illumination came from
moon half obscured by clouds. On one
side of the street stood the blank wall

Her hair was black and
straight and her face was full of
freckles.
Her little friends, TO tease her,
often called her plain Jane, ="
which made her feel very sad.
One day when Jennette was
sitting i'll the crowded school
room she loo'cd with great pity
at the little girl who sat next to
her.
This little girl wore faded
clothes and shabby shoes. but he
hair was neatly braided and hcr
clothes were clean.
Jennette leaned over and said
Sarah, why does your father
dress you in such shabby
clothes " and Sarah answered /:
"Oh, Jennette, we are very poor !;
father has been sick and has not
been able to work, but | am
really thankful that | can come
to school. Mother always teachcj
me | must be thankful for every
blessing and always try to wear
a smiling face"
When the little girls started
from school that afternoon Sarah
said: "Jennette, do come home
with me and see my baby sister"
When they reached the house
Tennette's heart melted with
pity-Sarah's father looked so
pale and thin. The baby sister

It has been storming at intervals during the past week. A soaking rain was followed by fall of snow and the country is now garbed in a mantle of white. The generous precipitation is of great benefit to every industry in this section.

UTAH BUILDING STONE
FOR HARRIMAN'S MANSION

L. I. Parry, of the firm of Parry Bros
the Manti stone quarTymen. was in the
city yesterday consulting railroad officials
with reference to freight rates on the
white Saupete stone, for which his firm 3
qudrries are famous, TO eastern points
1T is unusual for US to be operating
our q,Iarries at this ssasOn OF the year"
said Mr. Parry yesterday, but We have
contracted TO supply several carloads of
stone that is to be used i'm the new man
sion now being erected at Arden, n. J..
for T. II. Hartman The stone is to be
used for inside work and the contrac-
tors are urging immediate delivery. Nc
shall send cut six carloads at once and
it is likely that three or four more cars
will be required.
The stone from the Parry Bros quar-
ries is that with which the front of The
Herald building is decorated. A market
has already been made for the stone III
San Francisco and other Pacific coast
points. but the order for Mr.. Harriman's

is the stones remarkably even color and
unexcelled workable qualities that makes

IRON BLOSSOM
REACHING ORE
Big Strike in East Drift From
North Is Expected at
Any Moment.

Reports from the Iron Blossom COM
panys property yesterday, reports that
were confirmed at the company's head
quarters in Provo, were to the effect that
heavy iron ore had been encountered in
the face Of the east drift from the north
shaft on that property, with everything
to indicate that silver-lead values might
be struck at any time The news sent
the company's stock up over Is cents a
share during the day and men who pro-
fess to understand the formation out there
were declaring that they would be sur
rrised if the real ore bodies were not en-
cOuntered by Monday.
1t is explained that the iron encountered
by the drift mentioned is identicaliy the
same in haracter as that which oveTles
the ore in both the Colorado and Sioux
Consolidated, and that il is simply mat
ter Of penetrating it TO encounter the
lead and silver ores. The fact that the
iron is making in the face of the drift
rather than in the bottom OF the top Is
taken to indicate that the fissure will
be tapped by sending the drift straight
ahead, instead Of by sinking or raising, as
might otherwise be the case.
If this development in the Iron Bios
som does open up the same character Of
ore as is now being mined in the Colo
RADIO and Sioux Consolidated, IT will es
tablish the continuity of that wonderful
ore-making fisSure, with a practically I'M
broken body of ore for distance of more
than 1000 feet This would make an ex-
hlbit such as probably no other high grade
fissure in the state
could boast. Not only that but it would
hold out possibilities to other properties
east and southeast of the Iron Blossom
that would simply compel a vigorous
search for that fissure.
Present developments in the Iron Bios
som, therefore. are of more particular
moment Just now than anything that is
happening in the Tintic district. as 1t af-
fects more people and more companies
than anything that is going on in any
camp.

GETTING ORE AT DEPTHIN
ST. GEORGE co.'s GROUND

=. L. Cutler, who has been contracting

for q distance of loo feet and that there
is exposed in the bottom about three feet
of good lead-silver ore, the assay contents
of which he could not give, as the orc
had not been tried out. He says the prop

mine viii undoubtedly be made there.
He reports also, that the new tunnel
on the Utahna ccmpany's property has
