pated, and nmong the more prominent
onen were Iluckskln Clark, Daniel
Htnnton and A. W. Moore. When It
came to the selection of a name for the
newly-found district quite u frlcndlv
rivalry arose. A goodly number of
those present wanted It called Galenn,
others thought Agentn n more appro
priate name, while Ophtr wits suggested
ns being a better one. The house
seemed to be pretty well divided on the
subject, so little slips of paper were
pained around and the matter settled
by ballot. Ophlr won und the ramp has
borne that title ever since. Many. In
fact nearly all, of the men who took
part In that memorable meeting have
laid down their toola nnd passed over
the Great Divide. Iluckskln Clark and
A. W. Moore were ntr.ong the latest to
close life's chapter
FIRST WHITE MAN.
Mr Herman says ho Is positive that
the latter waa the first white man who
settled In Ophlr canyon, If not tho flrrt
one who entered It. Moore hnd a ranch
there und the present townsltn covered
a part of It. When the tnwnslte was
laid out Mr. Herman, who wns then
Hure)or of Tooele county, was em
ployed to da the surveying. Moore
coined money out of the sale of lots,
but nearlv nil the wealth acquired In
this manner was lost In mining ven
tures made afterward,
ORIGINAL MINERS.
While the soldiers under the com
mand of Gen, Connor may have done
the tlret prospecting In the CO's, Mr
Herman snya the first really active mi
ning commenced there In 1S70, und that
the two men who discovered the pres
ent Ophlr-HIII mine John W. Cooley
and James Mcllrlde undertook to mar
ket the first ore. They mnde no money
of consequence, for the reason that
they experienced dlttlculty In finding n
market. Home of the oro wits shipped
to the old Wnttermun smelter, seven
teen miles south of the Great Salt lake,
but owing to their composition the fur
nace would freese quickly: hence, tho
product of the mine was not wanted.
Cooley and Mnllrlde sold out their In
terests for a few hundred dollars.
WALKER llltOH.
The Walker Rrothors entered Ophlr
canyon, Mr. Herman sals, about 1871.
and soon afterward built a mill and op
erated It for same time on ores ob
tained from Lion hill, on the east slds
of the canyon, Marcus Daly managed
the Walker properties. When the mill
was abundoned the machinery waa
shipped to Ilutte nnd used at the Alice
mine.
The first experienced miners who en
tered the Dry canon section of the dis
trict, according to Mr. Herman, went
there In the year Ut). The mountains
In that portion of the ramp were heav
ily covered with timber, nnd John
Moore, the leader of the pioneer party,
applied to Mr. Herman to survey some
timber claims for them. Mr. Herman
oannot recall the names of nil the men
who comprised the little delegation, but
a man by the name of John Dyer was
the cook,
Atonic about 1871 or 1173 the town of
Ophlr contained several thousand o
pie, and Mr Herman Is ready to con
firm all that has been said elsewhere
relative to tho morul condition of the
camp In the early days,
1'IONEER HOTEL.
John Duke was the pioneer hotel
keeper and kept a place In a log cabin
bulldlmr. on the stle of th nreaent
O'Urlen house. The hotel waa known
as the Duke house, and the owner did
K very t riving business. Mr. Herman
stopped ( the place a number of times
and, on one occasion while he was en
gaged In surveying the townslte, put
up there. Every bed In the house waa
taken, nnd In order to accommodate
as many guests aa possible, three h.t
sons were obliged to deep In the same
hunk. On one particular night Mr
Herman turned lu with two bedinates
whom he did not know and had never
seen before. Thero were a numb-r of
bede tn the same room, und all of them
of nurse, were filled. While Mr. Her
man ami hit slrmigar companions wore
ti) lng to slumber. mrnl mem were
busily engaged In n lively gnniq of
mkur. Upon the table whero they were
playing was piled n considerable
amount of money, and nt times during
the progress of the game n great deal
of loud talking wns Indulged In. A
number of times hostilities were
threatened In the way of gun-plays;
all the players were armed with six
shooters, as waa nearly everyone else
In the camp at that time. Neither Mr.
Herman nor his companions slept very
soundly; In fact, after many attempts
to do so the former got up, dressed
himself nnd went down to the house
occupied by A W. Moore, who, upon
being nwnkened, let him In, where he
put In the balance of the night undis
turbed DECLINE AND REVIVAL.
The cnmp began to decline nlong
about 1876, two enrs later It was
practically dead, and It remained In
that condition until a few )ears ago,
when the ramp took on new life, occa
sioned by the operations of Senator Vf.
A. Clark.
The decline of the cnmp came with
the exhausting of the rich surface de
poslti and the Inability to treat the
baser ores to a profit with tho crude
methodn In tKiie at that time
Col. I J, A. Wall and thd late Allan
O. Campbell became the owners of the
Ophlr-HIll property, nnd It wns by
them that tho deal for the sale of the
mine to Senator Chirk was effected.
The Montana Senator paid $75,000 for
the mine.
Mr. Herman settled In Tooele county
In the fall of 1816. He filled the posi
tion of I'robate Judge there for n period
of six years, und for fifteen ears wns

What Others Have to Say of Mercur,
From the Deseret News.
(Continued From Our Last.)
Tne filters consist of a series of parallel
plates 4 Inches apart. I'-nch plate Is 10
feet long nnd feet high nnd Is slmplv
a light framework with canvas on both
sides. A suction pipe passes through
the top at the center down tn within a
half Inch of the bottom, while two blow
ing pipes also enter at the top, each one
half way between the center ends und
extend bnrely through the top. Eighteen
of thene parallel platra at tlrmiy at
tached to channel Iron crossing their
tops, thus forming one 'basket' of niters,
that Is, one unit We thus have In one
machine a total niterlng surface of :SS0
square fret. On top of these plates nnd
connected to their suction pipes by a 3
Inch cross header pipe, rests a Eli-Inch
and 8-Inch by 7-Inch vacuum pump. The
whole basket hanga by eight wire cables
from an electric crane with ralsea and
lowers the basket and carries It from
one compartment of the tank to an
other. This tank has three compart
ments, containing slimes, weak cyanide
solution, and wash water. Just bevond
the wash-water compartment Is the dis
charge point, simply an open square un
der which the tailings cars stand to re
ceive their load.
"In operation the filter basket Is low
ered In the slimes compartment and the
vacuum pump Is started. The slimes are
agitated to prevent settling. After the
suction has proceeded from one to tvvo
hours. nrlng with the character of the
slimes and with the thickness of the
emulsion, there Is n coating of slimes on
all parta of the illterlng surface of from
three-fourths to one Inch In thickness,
representing from 8 to 12 tons of slimes,
dry weight. The motor on the crane Is
then started and the basket with Ita
load la lifted out of the slimes compart
ment, this operation requiring four sec
onds The crime Is then moved alone
Its track until over the weak r)anlde
compartment nnd the basket Is lowered.
Twenty minutes In this tank nnd ten
minutes In the wnsh-water tank Is sutll
clcnt for a complete displacement of the
valuable solutions. During ull this time
the pump Is In operation nnd the
vacuum produced prevents the enkes
from dropping off during the trans
ferring Having arrived at the dis
charge point the vacuum pump Is
stopped nnd a blast of air turned Into a
pipe connecting with the blowing pipes
of each plate The air passing through
the cloth from within the plates dis
lodges the slime cakes nnd they drop nt
once In the enrs below, so that from 9 to
1? tons are discharged and loaded In n
lute. Each filter handles about 75
' s per day, and one man operates the
ruur niters, so the cost of labor Is atiout
cents u ton. The wear on the cloth Is
almost nothing, cloths In use six months
In the experimental plant showing nn
deterioration. The power required Is
very small, n "H-horse imvver motor
does the raising of the basket and la In
operation only 4 minutes during the
ejele of tvvo hours. The vacuum pumps
are run by air and hold n vacuum of
from 18 to 20 degrees of mercury The
discharge solution la as clear as spring
water.
"The advantage of this sytrm arc
obvious; nrst, n saving of from 40 to SO
rents per tcth In labor; second, a saving
of ft like amount In extraction, third, a
saving of over CO per rent In the cost of
Installation. The saving In extraction
It due to the fuel that, while the niter
la In the tllinea tank and the suction In
operation nn equalising net Ion la taking
place, rendering ull parts of the rake of
equal resistance to the flow of solution
and wash-water, su that when placed In
the washing tanks n )erfect displace
ment of solution Is accomplished. For
example, we might consider that It
would be possible for one spot on the
2S00 square feet of slime cake to have
more of the courser slimes, or One sands,
than the other parts; then there would
be lest resistance to the flow at this
point: therefore, the How would be ac
celerated here, the slimes would be
brought up and would cover this point
more rapidly than the other purls until,
by this Increased coating, the resistance
to the flow of solution and wash-water,
so other points. This equalising Inrtu
ence Is. tn fact, hi continuously In oper
ation that at no tntant Is there any
less resistance to the How at One joint
than at all other o!nta. Thus, when
lifted out from the slimes compartment,
the entire basket of niters Is In perfect
condition for washing and, In practice,
all tho soluble gold Is extracted

ART CRITICISM.
The artistic firmament of Salt Lake
City has been, of late, much disturbed
by pyrotechnic eruptions of the artistic
temperament on account of the failure
to award n prize at a former exhibition,
the Judges claiming that of the pictures
entered none waa possessed of sufficient
merit to win the awatd. And this brings
to mind the fact that there has always
been dissatisfaction among those who
have failed to win In Mmllar exhibitions,
nnd nlways will be. In greater de
gree than elsewhere, until some accept
able standard of criticism Is attained
and established It Is undeniable that
not only In this State, especially, but
throughout the country, the dearth of
rational criticism Is a serious drawback
to the progress of art among us. While
our students are nndmllatlng nil thnt
It to be learned In the foremost
European schools, nnd discovering,
io me of them, very remarkable talents,
our art criticism Is not progressing at
a corresponding rate. The knowledge
which enables the critic to lead hit pub
lic and to keep abreast of current move
irents In art Is possessed by very few.
Most of our writers" on art the Eng

a literary or Joumnllstlc training; and
hence It often tin i, pens tliat their nd
miration Is won by n wretched pastiche.
In which they perceive something that
reminds them of Titian or fllorglone,
while a strong; and life-like work, ani
mated by modern Ideas and feelings,
runt great risk of being passed by or
perhaps condemned as n merely techni
cal affair, devoid of spiritual signifi
cance. This attitude Is sometimes supported
by arguments ns absurd as one would
expect them to be. but none the less
mischievous, They amount to saying
that In art technique Is of no account
It Is the feeling that escapes analysis,
the grace that cannot be measured, the
genius that transcends the rulerv that
distinguish the work or art from the
production of mechanic skill, (liven
these great qualities, we can forego
technical excellencies. And when the
critic Instinctively recognizes their pres
ence, all he has to do Is to sound the
loud timbrel nnd mnke as much noise
of prnlse nnd exultntlon ns poralbl
When, on the contrnry, he Is unable to
perceive anything of the kind In the
Picture under consideration, he Is never
to admit that the fault may be In him,
In his Imperfect understanding of the
language that the painter must use He
Is nt liberty to damn the work offhand
as a product of soulless mechanism.
It may be safely arcertcd that the
more Inseparably the meaning of a pic
ture Is bound up In the technique, the
more successful the picture, nnd, In so
far. the greater. The criticism that lg
norea this principle Is not sound criti
cism, but writers or Judges who are not
specialists, when they turn to crltlclrlnr:
works of nrt, nre very apt to Ignore It.
Art In Utnh Is developing In most
encouraging degree. It should not be
ntunted or discouraged by Incompetent
criticism. Our Dalllns, Lambournes.
Culmers. Ilnmseys and others are
nrtlsts of whom the State Is Justly
proud. Their work und tmigrers cannot
be nrfected Injuriously by the carping
of any critics the Stnte nt present af
fords, but to younger nrtlsts nnd
nsplrlng students the matter of rational
and capable criticism Is ever) thing.
This Is a subject of more Importance
than many suppose. Art Is a luxury In
one sense, but In Its broader sense It Is
not a luxury nt all; It Is a necessity

Much more than that, art Is one of the '
very first Instincts of man. Ages before .
history began, men who could scarcely JJ
express the simplest Ideas In words
carved rude pictures of their mvnge life
upon their primitive weapons and orna-
ments. Our nrt It only ths development
rf that which began In the nge of
stone what education hna made out of .
the Instinct of our brutal progenitors. m
Art which comes from the people, be- r
longs to the people, and Is a luxury only as ifl
In the tense that It can be done without, "" j
and man continue to exist. Hut It Is il
an Influence which Illuminates nnd
beautifies our lives and renders them I
better worth living, and, ns Mich, Is ns
essential to us ns the books which feed
our minds and which no one dreams of K
regarding as luxuries. Hence, we believe
the Stnte should do everything It can
for the encouragement and development H
of nrt In our midst, and a school for the
study of art. Its history and politico-
social relations, ns well ns Its practice, JH
would be productive In time, not only of .!
nrtlsts, but of a higher standard of ra- al
tlonnl art criticism which Is so necca- SW
sary to the perfection of nrt and tho 'J
ev olutlon of genius. '.' WL
