immense estate owned by the Coall-
ton ground. 1t is located In the yicin-
lty of Iowa Copper. Copper Apex and
Scottish Chief, and Is In that undevel-
oped portion of the district that Is
presumed to be highly mineralized.
A considerable amount of work has
been done on this group. including
tunnel which is now in a distance OF
$50 feet This work has been stopped
while Mr- Nissen and his associates
made complete survey Of the ground
and carefully pTospected the surface
blowout to give them some idea OF the
best places to have work done This
prospecting work has been completed
and il Is understood that the work in
the tunnel will be renewed within
short time The tunnel developed has
passed through the first formation of
shale Gaping and is now in the lime
The work Will be continued with
view to locating the quartzlte which
overlays both the Ontario and the
Mayaower Quartzlte.
The formation is about 1.00J feet
higher than the Coalition properties, at
a point where the mineralized zone OF
lead on the Park City side is divided
from the copper deposits on the Alta
side of the range This work will
prove of much interest to every one
who has longed for a desire TO see the
connecting link between the mineral
zone of these two camps made. II Will
give a much better idea of the forma-
ton of a number of ore deposits in
that great region than has ever been
known before.
The knights are said to be seeking
the control Of this property, 10 add
TO some Of the holdings they have al
ready acquired in that district Still
another proposition is being rounded
out in the mines of Park City camp In
which the name of the knights have
been connected This is the consolida-
/ tIon of the Thompson and the West
| Quincy properties, which Is being con-
sidered one OF the most important
! deals that has been called off In the
Bonanza Flat section for a number of
years past A general agreement has
| been reached for the consolidation Of
these groups and 1t is only a question
Of working out the details Should
the Knights take an interest or the
control OF these properties 1t is a fore,
/ gone conclusion that the ground viii
be actively developed and that ample
money Will be provided TO do all the
work necessary to locating the ore
bodies that are known to exist in that
! territory as soon as the proper depth
| has been attained.
Parkites are much elated over the
recent activity throughout the entire
district. 1t Is providing employment
| for more men and promises to result
In the disclosure of large ore bodies
/ that can be shipped from for a number
Of years. The resumption of work at
the Little Bell in this same portion
of the district Is taken TO mean that
the company proposes to begin the
extraction and marketing of ore. At
the mine the information is given out
that the management expects 10 be
able 10 forward an average of twenty
five tons of ore daily This amount of
shipping from high-grade deposit
should prove profitable

CITIZENS OF PROVO
SHOW INDIGNATION
New Monument Said to Be Figure Of
Confederate Soldier.


Provo. July 31.-The residents OF
the Garden city are very much sur
prised and more or less indignant at
the discovery that the figure which
snrmounts the fine new monument
erected In honor OF the Indian war vet
Grams and the Provo pioneers which
was unveiled on July "a, is that OF Il
Confederate soldier In view OF the
fact that the monument is intended 10
perpetuate the memories OF the old
Indian fighters, I'm particular, It Is con-
sidered that the Southern soldier is
much out OF place. and the prominent
business and professional men of Pro.
vo. led by w n. Ray of the Ray Real
Estate and Brokerage company, are
determined that the figure must come
down. How such a mistake could have
been made In the selection OF the
statue is somewhat of mystery,
though the blame for the blunder Is
laid at the feet of Joel A. Johnson.
chairman of the committee which had
the erection OF the monument in
charge.
That the figure does really repre-
sent a soldier of the Confederacy,
there is, is seems, no doubt The belt
around the waist OF the figure orig
inally had the letters &C, S, presum-
ably Confederate States" placed
thereon. but the &C" was removed be-
fore the statue went up and letter

sack. gun, cap and cut of uniform,
however, are undenIably those OF the
Confederate soldiers and Provo citi-
zens, out of respect to the Indian war
vets" will not stand for It"
A meeting OF the committee will
probably be held in the near future TO
adjust the matter in the best way pos
sible.

A StorehouSe of Wealth
Is a Home of Health

1t often happens that your wife
is over-worked and you don't know
1t until she commences TO complain
OF lost appetite, lame back, etc,
and at last gives up and the Doctor
is called, and then you rush out to
secure help for tho same work she
did AT last, after rest, she re"
covers. and you take a personal
pride that you did your part tn
having her health restored, but
you overlooked the day in and day
out pever-ending toll of preparing
the meals over the hot coal stove
and over-heated kitchen.
The nerve racking tension and
patience required to carry on this
domestic home service Is rarely
comprehended and seldom realized
by his Royal HlghneSs. If husbands
had 10 do the cooking for thirty
days, we could not begin to supply
the demand for gas stoves Why
not figure that your wife's health is
all in all to her and you; one years

her former youth and beauty. If
you try It. you will be overjoyed to
learn that this is no fairy story.

nOring Presence of President

Columbia, Ga, Nov. 3.-Because of
the fact that President Taft and his
party allowed stop over of only ten
minutes here today en- route from
birmingham to Macon, the city of
columbus will take no official recog-
milton of the trip whatever. Both the
city council and the board of trade
concur in the plan to give the presi-
dent the cold shoulder. The feeling
against Mr.. Taft is due to the fact
that. after promising to stop here sew
eral hours, he changed his plans and
decided to spend only ten minutes in
this city. Mayor Rhodes Browne was
leader in the opposition to the rec
ognition of Mr.. Taft. Mayor Browne
said 1t would be reflection upon the
city's dignity to continue to press :ts
attention upon the president. He said
that every member of the committee
that went to Washington could testi-
~ to President Taft's promise to make
visit to Columbus.

he had sold his cotton seed for $40 a

hand this week. The same man said
he had already ginned SIS bales from
80 acres. the bales averaging more
than 500 pounds. He used only 500
pounds s-4-4 to the acre and no top

with a substantial profit in 1t. as he
has sold only few bales.

The record last season was a remrk-

score against 1t. and as a consequence
the High School boys have been un-
able to get game this year, none Of
the school teams of this section of the
State being anxious to go up against

possible that the teams of other towns
are scared without cause, for the High

graduated last June and are scttered

In the past sixty days. The demand is
large in spite of high prices. The day
of cheap land In Sumter county seems
to be gone. Landowners are begin
ming to realize the value Of their pro-
perty and those who want to increase
their holdings are paying for what
they get. But land in Sumter county
Is the best possible investment. and
those who buy now will be able to
sell later on at big profit.
