B LAST WEEK'S LOCALS.
T
These locals were left over last week
1y an error of the foreman:
Colonel Coffy went to 'the city Sun-
djy.
Joseph nnd Mis. Hrlndley rtturnetl
from Pleasant Grove Monday, where
they had attended thu funeral of Mrs.
Rrlndley's sister, Zelln Drlggs.
Day by dny the Italians are leaving
(. the camp. It Is Interesting to see the
1 roves going to the depot, to see their
countrymen on the train. As many us
t sixty have gone to the depot to see two
; of their number go.
Mayor Luft, John Martin nnd A. G.

j rolling during his honor's absence.
, A hunting party, consisting of Messis.
j TJoyle, Wise, Gandlo, Wlttlch, Lurghettl
nnd Leslie went to the valley Sunday
i and returned home with u good bag. To
, Leslie's gun belongs the honor of the
most rabbits, and to henr George re
count his exploits Is certainly very en
tertaining. On Tuesday night a grand concert and
bull, under the auspices of Mercur Ml
' hoik union, No. 199, wns given In the
Opera house. The following programme
was rendered Song, Joseph Garland;
iuartette, Hcblnson, etc.; piano polo,

Jt-g It- Dunlels, etc., nfter which the floor
Stj an as cleared nnd dancing Indulged In till
euily morning.
$ This Is the season of long evenings,
i. when people devote fewer hours to out-
" door woik and more to reading. It Is
also the right time to accept that re
markable offer of The Salt Luke Trib
une, and by sending them $1.50 get n
splendid paper twice a week from now
until May 31. 1905.
v During 1904 no family should be with,
out n good metropolitan newspaper. In
addition to the Presidential cnmpnlgn
the year promises to be filled with stlr
j - ling events, concerning which every In
telligent citizen should be Informed, If
you do not get your mall dally or do
not caio to Incur the expenFe of taking
a. dully paper, the eiy best thing you
can do Is to send $1.50 for The Salt Lake
Tribune, twice n week fiom now to May
31, 1905. It Is the best substitute for a
dally, nnd at an extremely low price,
of the Maccabees, Is without doubt one
of the best hustlers who ever struck thlH
town. On Frli'ay a class of nenrly thir
ty was Initiated Into the mysteries of
Mnccabcelsm In tent No. 7. The rates
nre certainly very favorable. Full In
formation can be hadliy any one apply
ing to Mr. E. E. Farly, record keeper of
tent No. 7.
Now, the Editor must modify his dls
belief In the yarn of Lot's wife turning
Into a pillar of Bait because of looking
Tiaek. A young Indy the other day, walk
ing down the street, stooped to lace her
shoe. Two young men coming up the
street passed her, and then turned to
rubbor.
Judge O. W. Hull left Mercur Mondny
to take up his residence with his family
In Salt Lake. The Judge has been bore
for eight years. During that time he
i
has seen Mercur grow from a small vll
luge to a very Important city. He Imb
iven the city burned up, then rnlse Itself
llge a Phoenix, nnd we hope that again
Mercur will occupy her Important po
sition. Good luck to you, Judge, nnd
success to you In your futuic career.
Mr. Lyman Watt has taken charge of
the stationery department at the iwst
ofllce. Mts. M. L. Tenl gives a card party

Mrs. JamoH fellnis came from Sunny
side Friday to Join her husband here.
Sunnyslde Is the place where Amerlcun
citizens nre stopped fiom going to the
postofllce for their mall; and where some
twenty-live of Mount Plensunt's boys
went to scab, whete after working n
month found themselves In debt and had
to walk home thirty miles back home.
They piomlfe a hot time to any hire
ling of the I'tah Fuel Co. should he ven

see where they nre right.
TRIED TO CONCEAL IT.
It's the old story of "murder will out"
only In this case there's no crime. A
woman feels run down, has backache or
dyspepsia and thinks It's nothing and
tries to hide it until she finally breaks
down. Don't deceive yourself. Take
Electric Hitters at once. It has a lepu
tntlon for curing Stomach. Liver and
Kidney doubles and will revivify your
whole system. The worst forms of those
maladies will quickly yield to the cur
utlve power of Electric Bitters. Only

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus
Falls. Minn., fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had n surgeon get It

it was quite sore and pained her very
much. Her son mentioned that he had
seen Chamberlnin's Pain Balm adver
tised for sprains and soreness, nnd she
asked him to buy her n bottle of it,
which he did. It quickly relieved her
and enabled her to sleep, which she
had not done for severnl days. The son
was so much pleased with the relief it
gave his mother that he has since rec
ommended It to many others. For sale

STOCKTON NEWS NOTES.
From the Sentinol.
STOCKTON WRITTEN UP
By the Dnily Press in Very Extensive
and Flattening; Style.
The Salt Lake Tribune.
(Continued Next Week.)
While the policy of Its owner renders
it Impossible to learn much concerning
the results of the season' campnlgn at
the Ophlr Hill, the enlargement of the
mill, the Installation of un electric plant
by which power ns well as light Is
generated, and the possibility of an
electric railway between the plant and
the San Pedro, affords abundant evi
dence of thrift, and to his Income from
other sources the proposition added not
n little. The product of the mill,
running well up In Ircrh, finds nn engcr
mniket at the smelter furnaces nnd nf
fords, It is said, a good .margin.
Dry Cnnyon, nt one period In Utah's
create ?t Industry the source of some of
the richest ore ever diunped into a fur
nace, and for a- few lots from the his
toilc Mono Untie Matt Glsborn was
permitted to pocket n fortune, settled
down to most energe'tlc development
during the year, nnd while the tonnage
with which it reported" on the market
wns small, in quality it compared fa
vorably with any In the diggings nnd
wus much above the average. The
more Interesting of th,e year's under
takings in the locality ,"whlch comes al
most within the embrace of more pte
Unllous Stockton, wad the determined
efforts by Mr, W. N.MncShorry and
his associates of Pittsburg, Pa., to re
store the Mono to Its premier meosure
of productiveness, the-'year closing upon
a progress In that direction which was,
most encouraging.
The Eurekn-Ophlr, operated by a
ctowd In Wnrren, Pn and H. A. Lane,
who directed the campaign, was pro
ductive of not a little of the year's out
put from the camp, and at u depth of
200 feet, with additional depth being
hourly gained, the condition Ih a most
satisfactory one.
The Utah Queen, the property of a
wealthy syndicate of New Haven.
Conn., and under the management of
Morris R. Hunt, wns ajso productive of
considerable hlgh-gmde ore during tin
year, while the Commodore gioup In
Soldier canyon came forward with sev
eral shipments of rock of good quality,
and then suspended for the winter. Into
the Hershel the tunnel which U headed
for a well defined fissure continued to
steadily advnr.ee, with mime ore to en
courage the undertaking, while severnl
others did tome work. The outlook
over there Is quite assuring nt this time,
nnd n series of Important disclosures
should follow present development nt
an early dny.
From Salt Lake MlnlngiRcvlew.
The driving of the Honerlne tunnel
Is n notable achievement here and
marks a new era Inl'jthe history of
Stockton. Too muchrtwnter has been I
tlieT01sturblng;eIemQnt,tthlBcanipv
little 'ver360Weel'w'th&',tunnolMlas-,
been completed, about 2500 feet having
been driven hiBt year, and many of the
workings that a short time ago were
filled with water have been drnlned.
The tunnel, when complete, will be S000
feet long, nnd up to dnte has cost a
quarter of a million dollars. In the
meantime preparations are going on
for the building of a grent reduction
plnnt at the mouth of the tunnel. The
completion of the tunnel will be the
signal for the carrying on of develop
ment work In the district on n Inrge
scale.
The Black Diamond, Calumet, East
Honerlne, Galena King, Cyclone, Legal
Tender, Hercules, Bullion. Shamrock,
Argent nnd Kntherlne will be the prop
erties to receive the direct benefit of
the Honerlne tunnel.
Many Eastern men. Interested In mi
ning affairs, have Ideas about mining
thnt would be funny but for the fact
that their applications arc so disas
trous to their Interests. Their Inten
tions nre good, but their Judgment Is
faulty. For Instnnce, n story !s going
the rounds of the preps about a mine
superintendent who cabled his com
pany that the "shaft had caved in nnd
thnt a new one would have to be
made." The president of the compnny
cabled back: "Can't you buy a second
hand shaft?" This Is equal to the
Kansas method of cutting a dry well In
sections and selling them to settlers for
port holes.
In no matters does a mining super
intendent show his good qualifications
better than In the selection of his foro
men and bosses. Many good engineers
make poor superintendents for lack of
the null 'i to discern character In
stead of wund Judgment they are
swayed In their selections by fancies
as silly as those of a schoolboy. The
elements that make a good Amerlcun
soldier or railroad man are precisely
those that make a good mine foremnn.
Among theso the tesponrive nnd "In
itiative" qualities stand prominent, If
not pre-eminent.

CROUP.
The peculiar cough which Indicates

mothers of croupy children. No time
should be lost In the treatment of It,

received more universal approval than

with untried remedies, no matter how
