MINES
IN BIG DEMAND

Utah men who own some OF the
undcveloped sulphur mines down
south, the deposits OF alum, kaolin.

State might get a hint from the fol
lowing relative to the way sulphur
proposition in the neighboring State
of Wyoming Is being worked out:
The prospector for mineral wealth
usually has in mind the precious met
ais and their common associates. \
broad knowledge OF other minerals,
their uses and the market for them
may afford many an opportunity that
is not presented to the person with a
more restricted viewpoint Sulphur
has been known for many years in
Wyoming. which is one of the few
producers in the United States. and
the United States. and the deposits
in the northern part Of Park county
have been recognized but never eX-
plotted \ recent transaction calls
attention to them again, as well as
TO the rather interesting nature OF the
resource. which is said to be con
stantly replenishing itself from sub
terrancan gases.
The Park county deposit, are loca-
ted in the Sunlight district, thirty
m les from the Montana line and a
lew miles from the town OF Painter.
They are not lar from the Wmona
and Lucky Strike mines, where a
great deal OF development has gone
on during the last five years. The
holdings Of the Sulphur Mining and
Milling Company, which has recent
" taken the first steps in a sale OF
the property TO New York capital,
comprises an area OF about 100 acres.
The nearest railroad point is Bellry,
Montana, forty-ive miles distant
4 few weeks ago George T. Beck,
OF Cody, negotiated the deal whereby
the New York interests. headed by
Walden Ferguson, came into posses
sion The mentioned sale price j.
S225,OOO OF which an initial payment
Of $4,000 was made. Engineers are
to make an early examination in be
half OF the New York interests. En-
ginccrs for the Sulphur Mining and
Milling Company estimate that the
deposits contain no less than 10000
600 cubic yards OF sulphur bearing
rock the average content ranging
from ten To ninety per cent The
general manager, X. Whiting, ex-
presses the opinion that there are
100000 tons averaging hfty-hve per

MORMONS COMING
BACK TO NEVADA

The Mormons, who have. greatly
improved the Cardston country near
here, where the colony is located, are
to move in body back to the United
States, settling somewhere in Nevada.
1t is said here that the order to move
to Nevada has come from President
Smith, head of the church at Salt
Lake City
The above will be read with consid-
cradle interest locally, and has much
significance, showing, as it does, that
the thrifty people of Utah consider
Nevada preferable for home building
purposes to Canada.
Furthermore, it is of more than
passing interest, as it refers unqucs-
tionably to the colonization now go
ing on at Metropolis, near Wells.
OF the adaptability of this section
to agricultural pursuits, no better rec
ommendation can be had. 1t is au-
thoritatively reported that before the
move above referred to was made that
the Mormon leaders sent men well
versed in agriculture here to investi-
gate conditions These men remained
for some weeks, thoroughly going
into every detail OF land and climatic
conditions. Their report to the au-
thorities, ii is stated, was very favor

GREELEY FRENCH;
COPPER MACNATE

Greeley French came down from
Silver City this morning and is spend
ing the day in this city, He states
that while Silver is rather quiet at
present there is a busy summer ahead,
as the cyanide plants are getting
ready to start work and a lot of tail
ings have accumulated during the
winter.
In speaking OF the copper claims
he is interested in at Jacks Valley he
is convinced that they have big
thing in sight While there is too
much snow on the ground for him to
make the trip this time he threatens
to spend the best part of the summer
in the hills Mr.. French is satisfied
that this entire section will benefit
from the discovery of the big copper
deposition on his ground and hopes
to see lot of activity there before
the summer passes. The Blgot
brothers, who are interested with him,
will continue working on the new
find and by fall will have something
that will invite capital and plenty OF
it. Mr.. French has known OF the
groupings and deposit for years, but
could not interest the people i'll his
holdings The boys who are now
working took him at his word with
the result OF the best prospect so far
discovered in western Nevada.-Car-

other countries as well and it is likely
that, if we are finally forced to inter

pressure brought to bear by the ma
tons Of Europe This would be a re

from an outbreak of hostility. 1t is
clear. however, that when foreigners
settle in a country they are entitled

MEAT SUPPLY IS
GETTING SHORT

The butchers and market men OF
this section have been kept on the
rustic to get beef cattle for slaugh
tering purposes and home conSump
ton. The public has in the meantime
been wondering why the price OF
beef has gone up steadily The big
concerns have kept their field men
busy hustling cattle. and many a car
been shipped out OF the small valleys
which. found their way to tbs far. east
ern markets. This has had a 1nd-
ency to shorten the crop here and
there is apparently on relief sight,
The Denver Times has the follow
ing relative to the cattle situation;
A shortage OF 100000 head OF beef
cattle exists in the United States to-
day. according to + NJ. Dix, general
superintendent of the western district
OF Denver, for Armour & Co Den
ver's receipts at the stockyards are
light
This shortage is shown by receipts
and statistics compiled at the five big
cattle markets OF America-Chica-
go. Kansas City. St Joseph, Sioux
City and Denver-for 1912 as com
pared with this month last year. it Is
due to the breaking up of the cattle
ranches in the Western States and the
failure of the land owners to raise cat
tie on the small tracts in the opinion
OF Mr.. Dix and others who have stud
led conditions.
There is little expectation of Ameri-
can cattle today, where as few years
ago large shipments were made to
England and Europe This trade has
been seized by South America and
Australia Huge concerns like that
of Sir Thomas Upton & Co, and
others are engaged in the beef in
dustry in South America.
Beef today costs about ! cent a
pound more per dressed carcass than
it did at this time last year, accord
ing to Armour & Co Mutton is
about the same price and supply.
Pork is 80 cents per 100 pounds
cheaper than last year There is more
local poultry on the market now than
last year.
The remedy for the beef shortage
is beef raising by small farmers or
stock farming. according to the pack
ers. They maintain that a farmer can
rdise better beef than a rancher and
do it4economically in connection with
his agriculture.

LOS ANGELES GETS
IMPORTANT DECISION

The claim OF the city that it has a
right to purchase, under an act OF
Congress passed i'll 1000, nearly "a.
600 acres of land in the Owens river
valley from the government for 81 %
an acre, has been definitely substanli-

The final decision in the matter was
made by the Secretary Of the Interior
some time ago, but a request for a re
hearing was fled by individuals and
power companies interested i'm the

denied Work OF preparing the pa

Copper Market at Top Notch.

The price OF copper metal is l45S
cents pound, but some sales are
reported at l4}4 cents. While the de
mand is not so great as to cause any
immediate apprehension, the selling
agencies are still able to dectite the
price and could easily get Is cents
a pound ii they desired The fact
that producers are still anxious to
divert any move that might have a
tendency to create anything like a
runaway market is apparent. All are
satisfied with existing prices and do
not want the price to move up to a
figure that will prevent the general
use to which the metal has been put
during the low market period.

 sentative for mercantile house Fat Ed Myers, a travelling salesman is speaking:
 "1 know skirts from the dsaw- string to the rufle It's d woman's gar. ment, but mans line There's fifty reasons why a woman cant handle it like man. For one thing the packing cases weigh twenty-five pounds each. and she's as dependent on a packer and porter as baby is on its moth CT Another is that if man has to get up tu make a train at i a. m. he don't require twenty-five minutes to fasten down three sets of garters, and braid his hair, and hook his waist dp the back, and miss his train. And he don't have neuralgia headaches. Then the head or skirt department in a store is a woman. ten times out of ten. And femme tell you he leaned forward earnestly. a woman don | like to buy of a woman. Don't ask me why. I'm too modest. But it's the truth.
