Hf Fridav evening that all the Salt Lakers
B named as defendants in the suit, includ-
IJH ing themselves, sold out their stock at
Wfll - a suar,; "ft is useless to deny the
BjHR allegations the' have made.'' said Mr,
mma "Wood. "They are preposterous. Wo
8 sent out notrcoH to' everyone of the
BIS situation and all stockholders had a
WMl right lo keep or sell their stock. The
mm fact of the matter is that after wo
mm Bold out to the Amalgamated tho price
fltta of oil went from 30 and 40 cents a
ImI barrel lo $1.10 a barrel, and simultancu-
nflS ously rich strikes were made in the
HH 0I' wca wc formerly owned, so that
pHM the Amalgamated was greatly enriched
WKm by the deal with tho Salt Lake Oil

nro on thotr way to Lop Angeles and the
California coast Judge Wines says of
Butte that times are dull on account, that
over half the mines and smeltcn? ari
shut, down, which means an Impairment
of the monthly pay roll In that city of
over hnlf a million dollars. TJntil there Is
a substantial advance In the price of

T. L. THURSTON and wlfo were reg
istered at tho Kenyon Thursday and
npent tho day in Salt Lako on their way
East. They aro residents of Fairbanks,
Alaska, where Mr. Thurston Is a leading
business man.
In speaking of the gold placer mining
there. Mr. Thurston said: "Mining was
somewhat retarded there this seaeon on
account of labor troubles, but the diffi
culties wcro finally adjusted and business
has been going on as In former years.
"Do I know John Bechtol, formerly of
Salt Lake? I know him well. He lives In
Fairbanks and Is wealthy I understand
ho sold his mining Interests last summer
for a largo sum, but of this I can only
speak from hearsay. I know that ho
made a great deal of money out of placers
and that his holdings were regarded as
being very valuable.
"It Is all gold there, and situated as we
nre, more than 400 miles frpm tho coast
or direct line of transportation to Seat
tle, wo havo known nothing of the trou
bles that have absorbed the States finan
cially. "Fairbanks Is a growing city, and will
eventually be on the line of railroad
transportation. This will moke our city
a distributing center and contribute much
to Its prominence."

O. C. SNOW of Monticcllo Is In .the
city and Is registered at tho Metropolc.
Mr. Snow Is supervisor of the La Sal
and Monticcllo National forests. Tn
speaking f the great country known on
the map as aouthcostcrn Utah, Mr. Snow
says that Its resources arc but little
known hy the outsldo world. In the
way of mining, he says, "La Sal moun
tains mining district Is bolng sadly over
looked by Ttah men. and many Eastern
capitalists arc taking advantage of the
great opportunities offered In that won
derful range, which I consldor Is the most
highly mineralized of any section In this
Western country. Its remoteness from
transportation has retarded Its develop
ment, but enough work is bolng done In
this line to demonstrate Its great mineral
producing possibilities.
"The allotments of the ranges for graz
ing purposes the Incoming year have been
made as follows: On the La Sal forest
0000 cattle and 1G.000 shcop. On tho
Monticcllo forest, an allotment has been
made of 10.500 cattle and 51,000 sheep.
These forests afford ample food for the
numbers of stock alloted. and the stock
on tho ranges down there are doing fine,
and maintain marketablo condition all the
year round. The stockmon are beginning
"to reallr.e that the forest reserve policy
of tho Government Is a hlesslng to every
ono engaged In range stockralslng."

well-known stockman, mine operator and
mine owner. 13 again In the city, a guest
of the Cullen. Mr. James says that the
sheep range is far better than for many
years, and that sheep owners feel opti
mistic respecting the future for the rea
son that people must eat meat and wear
woolen clothes, and therefore shcop and
their products will always be In de
mand. C. J. WILSON Is stopping at the Kon
yon. He say6 that the people of Gar
field county will not be able to complete
the Fangultch or Garfield dam within the
next year, for two reasons; first, that all
are giving their energies to the develop
ment of oil, and second, that the freez
ing weather will retard any further sur
face work. Tills will put a stop to tho
sale of land by the State during the next
year.

SMALL DEMAND FOR
GOLD CHEERS ENGLAND
LONDON, Dec. 27. -There was con
siderable comment on tho London bul
lion market today over tho apparent
cessation of tho demand from the
United States aud Germnny for gold,
and speculation as to whether this fact
implies a real improvement in tho re
cent state of affairs there. Thero will
bo $5,000,000 in cold available in tho
bullion market Mondaj-, which the
Bank of England isexpected to Bccuro,
and a generally favorable interpreta
tion is placed on the Blackened demand
for tho metal.
Tho Statist expresses tho opinion that
probabilities favor a very large addition
to the reserves of tho Now York asso
ciated banks and a return of a por
tion of the gold recently sent from Lon
don. Tho Statist also thinks that the
depression in the United States wili
noithcr be as serious nor as prolonged
as the pessimists anticipate. Accord
ing lo the Bankers' Magazine, thero
has not .been for twent' years such a
depreciation in stocks as" during the
year J.007. It gives a list of .187 stocks
representative of active securities dealt
in on the London stock exchange, hav
ing a .nominal capital valuo of $17,
12o,000,000, on which during the year
there has boon a net depreciation of
$1,710,000,000, or an average fall of 9
per cent. Tho decline on seventeen
American securities alone, the Bankers'
Magazine says, amounted to $775,000.
000, or 32 per cent.

DENVER 111 WEDS
SAHTA CLARA INDIAN
Culmination of Strange Ro
mance Five Years Old, in
Which Lore Won.
DENVER, Dec. 27. Nows has heen
received here that Miss Cora Mario Ar
nold of this city was married last Mon
day in Santa Fe, N. M., to Albino Cha
varrin, a full-blooded Indian. The wed
ding ends 11 romance which began five
vcars ago during the Mountain and
Plain festival, when a number of In
dians were brought to the city.
Tho ceremony was performed by the
"Rev. Dr. Rondon. a Prcsbytorian clergy
man, and was witnessed by tho brido's
sisters. Misses Lillian ancf Geneva Ar
nold of Denver.
Chavarria is chief of tho Santa Clara
Indians, a tribo of the Pueblos in lSTow
Mexico. With a large number of his
tribesmen he was in camp in tho City
park in Denver fivo years ago, when
Miss Arnold saw him and immediately
formed an attachment for him. After
frequent visits to the camp Miss Ar
nold invited tho Indian to call at her
homo. She lived at tho timo in a fash
ionable flat with her sisters and her
stcp-futhoi', George Wilder.
Objections Were Futilo.
Tho Indian's first visit to his sweet
heart was tho causo of a disagreement
between her and the remaining mem
bers of her family. Objection was ma.lo
011I3- to the Indian's race, his character
being above reproach. Miss Arnold,
however, announced her intention to
maro' tho Indian despite tho objections
of her family and friends. Several min
isters wero asked to perform tho cere
mony, but all refused. Then an at
tempt was made to have the ceremony
performed in Santa Fe, but there also
the clergymen refused to officiate. Miss
Arnold returned to Denver alono, but
the Indian made frequent visits to this
city, each one of which was the cause
of new outbursts of gossip.
Chavarria is fully civilized, religious,
fairly well educated and well-to-do. He
speaks the Indian and Spanish lan
guages, but does not understand Eng
lish, and Miss Arnold set to work to
loarn Spanish.
Woman Disinherited.
In April, 1905, Mr. Wilder jumped
overboard from a steamer in the Gulf
of Mexico and was drowned. He left
a will in which ho disinherited the pres
ent Mrs. Chavarria because of her re
fusal to give up her Indian lover.
After five years of effort the sisters
of Miss Arnold finally consented to tho
marriage, and ono month ago the' went
with her to New Mexico.
Chavarria owns a large farm near
Taos, N. M.. which he cultivates him
self, and it is understood that the cou
ple will make their home there. m Cha
varria is 45 years old, and his wife i3
a few j'eara his junior.
