NARROW ESCAPE
FOR A MILLMAN

Frank Barton, one of the millmen at
the Florence, a brother of mill Super
intendent Willett Barton, narrowly es-
capped the loss of his eyesight this
morning at about 10 O'Clock as the re-
suit of an explosion of hydrogen gas
in the refinery of the mill.
Barton was working at the parting
tank when the explosion occurred,
wrecking the tank, and sending a sheet
of flame into his face that scared his
skin wherever it was exposed. His
face and ears were burned, the hair ON
the front of his head taken off, his
neck and shoulders where he had I'M
fastened his collar and barred his throat
were scared, as was his left hand and
his arm nearly to the elbow. Luckily
he in~voluntarily closed his eyes as the
flash came, else his eyeballs would have
been scared and sight destroyed.
The fame of the hydrogen gas is
somewhat hot-merely a temperature of
5000 degrees, and while the flash was
over in an infnitesimal part of a second,
the fierce blast scared and burned every
particle of exposed flesh. The emer-
gency medicine chest at the mill came
in handy and the burns temporarily COW
cred with oil, and Barton was then
taken to the st. Mary's hospital fr
treatment, where he will remain until
he grows new skin on the burned parts.
1t is not believed that the burns will
result in sears, as they probably do not
extend deeper than the outer skin. At
the same time they are painful. Mr..
Barton is congratulating himself over
the somewhat miraculous escape of his
eyes from injury.

AN OPPORTUNE time
in STATE OF NEVADA

Salt Lakers returning from the va
rious mining camps and business cen
tiers of the state of Nevada agree that
there never has been a time in the
resurrection period of the past few
years when the opportunity for max
ing money was more favorable than
right now, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Opportunity, they say, knocks at your
door, and there is every argument for
those who are able so to do to round
up some of the bargains now reposing
on the counters of the state.
Mining properties especially are held
very reasonably by owners, and many
propositions once held at exorbitant
more than the obligation to get down
to work and develp the ground. 1t is
realized, however, that the cause of
this condition operates as hard against
the average man taking advantage OF
these bargains, and that is the diff
Guilty of getting ready money. But the
fact remains that now is the oppor-
tune hour to investigate Nevada min
ing propositions, gold properties espe-
cially in view Of the renewed interest
in gold mining, and now and then one
hears Of a Salt Laker slipping out into
the Sagebrush state to take q look for
himself.

The last of the remaining Elk on the
Alamo farm, formerly owned by the
late Governor John Sparks has been
taken away and will in the future feed
in the forests of George Wingfeld's
hunting preserve in Northern Califor-
mia.
The elk were loaded into wagons
and carried to the hunting preserve
carefully cared for by two men. 1t will
take three days to make the journey,
but it is believed that the elk will ar
rive there safely.
I Some years ago, when Governor
Sparks was alive, people came from
all parts of the state to go onto Gov
ernor Sparks farm and see the elk,
buffalo and Shetland ponies. He also
had fine fowl of all kinds and the finest
stock cattle in the country, his herds
winning prizes at all exhibitions. Since
the governors death the buffalo, ponies
and fine stock have all disappeared and
now the elk have been taken. The

THEY SURELY HAVE THE RIGHT

He was just a mere man, and he was
watching the women thronging in front
of the show windows.
Monday they'll be in the stores" he
said. That's where the money goes.
Women spend it,
If they do, they certainly have a
right
1t is a good thing to keep track Of
the averages in deciding any problem.
And by that rule it will be found that
women have contributed more to the
family fortunes and taken out less in
dividends than have the men. That
has been the rule for hundreds of years
and everywhere.
They get along with less money for
their personal dress and adornment and
entertainment than the men spend for
luxuries. drinks. cigars. little friendly
game in the safe seclusion back of the
cigar stand, and all that sort of thing.
Men buy like a drunken sailor, as q
general rule. They don't know how
much thing should cost, and lack the
care and the close thinking that will
enable them to find out. Women are
up in arms in a moment if they fail to
get the lowest prices on the meat or
the vegetables or the groceries for
which they exchange the little money
that is allowed them. They waste less.
and they save more. Not one woman

WHAT PATTEN CAN'T DO.

The king of the Chicago wheat pit
was hustled out of the Manchester cot
ton exchange the other day because the
English business men didn't care to
fraternize with one who corners the
necessaries of life. Never mind wheth-
err or not Patterns claim that he didn't
corner wheat is based in truth. He
did get all the wheat that there was.
And people who couldn't pay the price
he demanded had to go without it.
But Cardinal Gibbons has called to
general attention one thing that cam
not be cornered.
Happiness.
Not the biggest Spectator in the
world can mOnopolize that. Every one
who wants 1t may have it, if one have
health. And a good many people who
are far from we'll are even farther
from unhappiness. But for the COM
mon crowd, if there be health, there
may be happiness. Just feeling sound,
and working hard-there are the in
gradients of it.
Be well, have a task that should be
done, do it so well that some one is
better for your doing-and the happi-
ness will come in and break the tight
est corner that ever was manipulated.
The cardinal is right. Happiness
cannot be taken from the people. stored
away, and kept from general circula-
ton

THE SALT CITY, MONDAY

by the Contractor is there such a de-
gree of development. The country here
is vastly ahead of the city. That is,
the mines and the farms have advanced
so far that the growth of the city can
be multiplied by FIVE before the balance
of factors can be disturbed.
Here is the best town in the nation
for either business or for homes. Here
is the best town for health, and for
happiness; for the very Hottest work
than can engage the attention of men.
Here are the best opportunities for In
vestment. Here are the best resources
Here are the best churches, and the
ablest preachers. Here are the best
schools-and there is presently going
to be an even better one. Here is the
advancing city-with an advancing
country around it, reaching from the
middle of Colorado to the western
boundary of Nevada, and from the Co
lumbia river to the Mexican line.
Tell that to your friends in the east.

THE WOMAN'S THANKS.

There is so much strong men are thankful
for
A nations progress. or a slow strife's
end;
And though I join my praise with
theirs today
Grave things are these 1 scarce can
comprehend,
So vast are they;
And so apart, dear God, / pray to thee
My thanks for these thy little blessings
sake.
The little common joys of every day,
My garden blowing in an April wind,
A linnet's greeting and the morning
fall
OF happy sunshine through the opened
blind,
The poplars tall
That guard my threshold, and the peace
that falls
Like Sabbath stiffness from my humble
walls.
The little, simple joys that we forget
Until we lose them; for the lamp that
lights
The pages of the books / love best,
The hearth's red welcoming on winter
nights,
The kindly jest
That moves within its circle. and the
companionship of those the heart holds
dear.
The dear, accustomed joys We lightly take
Too much for granted sometimes, as a
child
His fathers gifts; and, so remember
ing,
For these my thanks, for these my
treasures piled.
Each simple thing
Those wiser may forget. dear father.
take
My thanks for these thy little blessings
sake
