STORY OF SILVER MINE.
How Idaho ProspectOr Discovered
Lode in a Broken Grindstone.

There was an old Mormon farmer
named Jennings living many miles
distant in Utah who noticed some
sandstone on his way to Phoebe. He
used bits of this stone for sharpening
tools on the farm. Then it occurred
to him to market a crop Of grind
stones as we'll as vegetables. And he
did. He mixed a few with his pota-
toes for his next trip to Phoebe. There
saloon keeper bought one and
placed it outside his resort so the
miners could sharpen their picks and
bowie knives between drinks. Dur
ing the next general fight in the sa-
| loon the sawdust arena became over
crowded and force of circumstances
elected a combatant through the
door, and in his comet-like orbit the
imam collided with the grindstone and
man and gr1nostone collapsed to the
ground in fragmentary heaps. The
fragments of the grindstone are of
the only concern here. For Barbee
was in the crowd and Barbee was one
of your real prospectors. Gunshots
and battle could not disconcert his
passion for rocks. He examined a
piece of the grindstone and declared
he saw silver in it.
|. Silver in sandstone! How they
jeered! They told him boisterously
that he was going crazy. Poor Bar
bee! Silver in sandstone was about
as preposterous in nature as robins
sprouting from cabbage. The COM
parison is used that you might ap-
preciate what a monstrosity this was
from the standpoint of Phoebe geolo-
gy.
Barbee persisted. He learned
where the sandstone came from, and
with his burro and outfit he set forth
over the desert towards Utah.
When Barbee came to Jennings
grindstone quarry in the sandstone
range, he found traces of silver. The
silver was there, all right, Phoebe or
no Phoebe, geology or no geology. He
saw a bush that was blackened, and
right there in defiance Of all known
nature, he prospected the bush. And
it does seem like defiance of all ma
ture to say that the bush ran 1000
ounces of silver to the ton. Accord
ing to the price of silver at that time,
a ton of those bushes was worth
about $1,000.
The bush was petrified. The leaves
and knotholes, the entire plant, was
covered with black sulphuret of sill
yer. The bush was an outpost of a
petrifed forest, all more or less
sprinkled with silver.
Phoebe had no adamant pride of
opinion, and Phoebe went wild when
she saw Barbee's samples. The sand
stone range was populated by Phoebe
in a night, and became a new town,
Silver Reef city by name. Inside of
a week desperate was shot and an
undertaken started in business, and
Silver Reef was fairly launched with
it's credentials as a metropolis. A
quarter of a million dollars year
was not an extraordinary output for
the grindstone quarry. After dozen
million dollars had been extracted by
Barbee's mills from the sandstone OF
Barbee's mines, the wonderful find
began to peter out. Barbee, it should
be mentic-ed died poor. Cinnamon
are now making modest days wages
by "gophering" in his one-time bo-
nanza.-Hampton's.

NEWS ABOUT NEckTIEs

Never buy a string or bow tie of poor quality" is the advice of F. E. Thayer. salesman for an eastern necktie manufacturing company Mir Thayer' has sold neckties for forty years and is. believed to be the old est necktie salesman on the road.
 'You may buy a ur-in- hand tie of the cheaper grade.' he said, and it will look nice for a while. But a string Tor bow, tie must be of good quality to make it look dressy ito make it hold it's shape. Neckties this coming season will differ very little from those worn last year-in fact there is nothing to change in style of ties. All colors are used. but simmered down there are. after all. only two kinds of neckties-the bows and four hands. Red ties will be popular. brown will be generally worn and the tendency is toward plain colors. The four in- hands will be shaped with the open ends. from IF to 1& inches wide. Knit ties are popular in the east and are popular here. Loud ties are out of the ques- tion.''-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

An institution in Which Arizona is
 Greatly Interested.

Rev. A. H. Gunnett representing the Children's Home Society of California, is in Phoenix on his regular annual visit. He says the work of the society in Arizona is now demanding a great deal of attention. He expects to spend much of the year in Arizona and thinks that by another year the work here will require the time of one man exclusively. A
 During the year 1909 Mir. Gunnett said he spent six weeks in Arizona and during that time secured eighteen un-, fortunate childrep who were placed in good homes. some of them here in Ari- zona and some of them elsewhere During the last few months he has taken two children out of Arizona and brought two to good homes in fAri- zona.
 The fiscal year of the home ends March 31 or begins April 1. During the fiscal year April 1. 1908 to April 1, 1909, 241 children were cared for by the home. During the first six months of the present fiscal year. April 1. 1909 to october 1, 1909. tine home cared for 1S0 children, or an average of one epr day. As soon as possible the home management places each child it takes in a private home, in the meantime caring for the. child at the home insti- tuition in Los Angeles. Dr Gunnett says that last year the average time of the children spent in the home be- fore they were placed. was thirty days, showing good demand for children as well as a good supply of the un- fortunates who have to be cared for by somebody.
 After finishing his business here Dr. Gunnett expects to go to Bisbee.

A MOTHERS PLASTIC HAND.

If we draw within the circle of our contemplation the mothers of a civ ilized nation what do we see? We behold so many artificers working not on frail and pcrishabie matter. but on the immortal mind. moulding and fashioning beings who are to ex- ist forever. We applaud the artist whose skill and genius present the mimic man upon the canvas: we admire and celebrate the sculptor who works out that same image in enduring marble: but how insignifi- cant are these achievements, though the highest and the fairest, in all the departments of art in comparison with the great vocation of human mothers They work. not upon the canvas that shall perish. or the mar ble that shall crumble into dust, but upon mind, upon spirit. which is to last forever, and which is to bear. for good or evil throughout it's duration. the impress of mothers plastic Webster

In the letter accompanying the paper
the complainant says that communi-
cation was received from the secretary
to the first presidency, giving informa-
tion that he wns instructed to forward
all Of the documents 10 President j, II.
Grant Of the Davis stake. Inasmuch
as the alleged offending has occurred
within the jurisdiction of President

Grant, requesting him to make some
statement with respect to his intended
disposition of the letters and document
forwarded to him by the first presi-

President j. f. Grant of the Davis
stake of Zion has ignored this com

are of such serious nature that they
ought to bring investigation Of some

that the organization and its members

A PROPOSED SITE.

The bids submitted TO the Salt Lake
Board OF Education for sites for the
proposed now High School, seem to be
about as high as though the seller:
had all entered into u combinatiou ia
make the Board pay the utmost possible
price. Some OF the sites offered are
commodiouS enough, others are too re
strictcd. Some are AWAY TO one side
of all possible school population, and
area. 1t is a pretty difficult situation
to face. The Board needs good deal
of space for tho High School The
building itself must cover a good deal
OF ground, and there should be a fair
amount of ground outside of The build
ing 10 allow for a gymnasium aud play.
grounds.
In view Of the difficulties surround
ing the question, gentleman presents
the suggestion TO The Tribune, which
ii will make public. in order to see
how the public and the Council Will
take IL; aud it is to have the city
donate to the Board for site for the
High School, enough of the northwest
corner Of Liberty Park, north of the
drive. to afford sufficient room sor High
School purposes. We have not meas
ured the ground down there, and do not
know Just how it would fit, but assume
from what is said that enough for the
High School could be had there with
out interfering in any way with the
beauty or usefulness Of Liberty Park.
If this is so, perhaps that might be
the solution of the question. Enough
ground could be had there, provided the
Council is willing TO offer the needed
site, without interfering with any of
the activities of established routine of
the park, or those who frequent it. That
northwest corner is not much used ex
cept as an entrance TO the part of the
park that is most used. farther down.
The site, as explained is convenient,
and is well served by number of the
street cars, and in very few years,
with the expansion Of the city TO the
southeast, it will be as central a loca
iion as could be desired.
In view of The stress of the stua
lion, of the high price at which avail |
able sites arc held, and of the great
scarcity Of sites that are at once COM
modious and convenient, we make pub
lie this suggestion. hoping that it will
be thoroughly threshcd out on its
merits, and if the site is found to be
The most desirable all around, that the
City Council may sec its way clear to
ettiDg the Board have that corner on
such fair terms as can be arranged, or
as a gift to the cause of education.
