MOST FIRES PREyENTAeIE.

authorities and fire prevention ex.

proportion of fires due to preventable
causes at between 25 and so per cent

ADDRESS TO a WATER FOWL.

Whittier. midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens with the last
steps of day,
Far through their rosy depths dost
thou pursue
Thy solitary way?
Vainly the fowler's eye
Might mark thy distant flight, to do
thee wrong,
As, darkly painted on the crimson
sky,
Thy figure floats along.
Seek'st thou the plashy brink
OF weedy lake, or marge river wide,
Or where the rocking pillows rise and
sink
On the chafed ocean slider
There is a Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that pathiess
coast
The desert and illimitable afr
Lone wandering, but not lost.
All day thy wings have famed,
At that far height, the cold. thin at
mosphere;
Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome
Though the dark night is near.
And soon that toll shall end:
Soon shalt thou find summer home
and rest,
And scream among thy fellows, reeds
shall bend
Soon Ger thy sheltered nest.
Thou'rt gone; the abyss Of Heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet on
my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou
hast given,
And shall not soon depart
He, who from zone TO zone
Guides through the boundless sky
thy certain fight,
In the long way that I must tread
alone,
viii lead my steps Alright.
William Cullen Bryant.

OLD WANDERING JEW
RETURNING TO VIEW
Property in Mountains East
of Bountiful Noiseless,
but Keeping Busy.

Some time has elapsed since anything
was heard from the Wa Wandering Jew min
ing property. owned by Willard Weihe
and associates. and located in the noun
tains east OF Bountiful: but the ground
seems to yet make Its mark In tho min
ing world
So cncourag gihg has been the result OF
quiet development which has been going
on at the property that II Is proposed
next spring To build road down from
the growing mine into the highway that
was many years ago established III the
canyon by owners of the Burro mine.
At present the ore is being taken out
from the tunnel by two men, constantly
but ever so unostentatiously al work. and
during this winter that policy VIII be
continued. the product TO be temporarily
deposited on the dump.
According to experts OF conservative
view, the mountains TO the north OF En-
sign peak contain mineral veins Of good
value, which may be profitably worked.
The requirement In this instance, as In
most others in the mining industry, is
perseverance. and this appears TO be the
motto of the owners OF the Wandering
Jew. who promise that the property shall
deliver some surprises In the near future.

Although some notice has been taken

that the Higginson group, sltunted on the
peak near tho Santaquin King, has un-
dergone considerable development during
the past few weeks. The operators have
struck Il good body OF ore. which runs
between 525 and $50 to the ton, the chies
