Two Important conventions or congresses
w-111 asicmlilc nt Ogilcn within the next ten
days. The first 'a meet wilt bo the cattle
men's emigres * , on Thursilay next , for a
three tlnys' session , nnd will ho followed on
the 21th by the Transtmsslsslpp ! congress.
About one year atfo a number of cattle 1
owners of northern Utah Issued a call for a
"cattlemen's congress to meet nt Ogdcn. The
incottnir win well attended , there belnR dele
gates present from Utah , Idaho , Montana ,
Oregon , Nevada , Arizona , New Mexico ,
Colorado , Texas , Indian Territory , Kansas ,
North nnd South Dakota and Wyoming. The
congress held Iti sessions for three days In
the Grand Opera house , and besides passIng -
Ing a number of resolutions voicing
the sentiment ? of the meeting on
various HUbJecti of Interest to cattlemen ,
took the Initial step for forming a perma
nent organization to bo known as the InterMountain -
Mountain Stock Growers' association. The
membership of this body was to Include
every one In the Inter-mountain country who
wris Interested In the affairs of the range
The progress made during the year has been
promising , and It ts believed that nt the
second meeting to bo hold Thursday the or
ganization will ho put on a tlriu footing. The
meetingoflast year attracted considerable
attention , and Its proceedings were rcK | > rted
quite In full in the papers of the west.
Among the questions which will bo tinder
discussion at this meeting will bo the Im
provement of stockyard facilities at Ogdcn ,
nnd it is thought that some action will betaken
taken which will result In the building of
packing houses.
The TraiiBinlsslssippl congress , as THE
Br.B has shown In previous issues , compre
hends all matters affecting the welfare of
twenty-two states and territories , particu
larly Biicli as require the cncouraBemcnt of
federal legislation. Preparations fer the en
tertainment of the delegates are complete.
Ogdcu proposes to eclipse former hospital
ities. The representation is much larger
than at former congresses , and It Is expected
that the deliberations and conclusions will
represent the concentrated sentiment of the
v.'t'slern empire.
jMhu'riil Huvoloptnnlit * .
The Nine MIlo inino In Missoula county ,
lias produced some t-3,000 worth of gold
bullion miring the past three months. There
is now said to bo $300,000 worth of ore on the
dump , and the ten-stamp mill , operated by
the same company owning the mine , Is run
ning to Its full capacity.
The Old Dominion mine , near Spokane ,
Wash. , has developed in the upper workings
six feet of a vein of pure lead carbonates ,
which will run as high as $500 In silver to
the ton. The strike is a well defined vein
that gives no Indication of running short In
quantity. A largo additional force of men
lias been put on and the output of ere al
most doubled. The company has arranced
for the expenditure of $100,000 in develop
ment work on the property. In the eight
years since it was discovered the Old Domin
ion has produced over fi,000,000 ! of precious
metals.
All the reports from the now Vanderbllt
mines in San Hornardino county , California ,
indlca to so rich a find that miners and prospec
tors are eaucr to irot Into that region as soon
as possible. Hundreds of men have already
KOHO there , and every one is predicting n
population of 4,000 or ! > ,000 for the new Camp
in as many months. In two d.iys last week
$1.400 was taken from the mines.
Much is expected of Kile City , In Idaho
county , Idaho , this year. As the state Is to
construct a wagon road from that place to
Mount Idaho , giving outside communication ,
arrangements are under way for live largo
quartz mills. The good effects of such luucl-
nblo enterprise.will bo felt by the people before
fore the close of the year. Ik-sides the
quart/ mills , several placer companies , with
sufllelent capital to operate the mines , will
KO ahead with considerable push as soon as
the season opens.
Mr. D. M. Steen has Just made a sale of a
group of twenty-live quartz claims lal'rairlo
J3asln , JjOinhi county. Idaho. The considera
tion was $100,000 The deal Includes the
Tollow Jacket , Cleveland , Lincoln and Con
tlnontal group. The new company has de
cided to construct it twenty-stamp mill.
The lllack Jack mine , at Silver City , Idaho.
Is yielding very rich oro. The highest
prado , which is shipped , goes $ SOO per ton ,
while the second grade , that will be milled
there , will yield about $150. The Ulack Jack
Is certainly one of the greatest mines of th _
state , and will add largely to Idaho's output
this year. All of the other mines at Silver
City are doing well , and several mills there
will soon commence crushing.
The most important discovery of the year
was made at Kcndrlck , in Uitah county ,
Idaho u short time ago. While running a tun
nel In the Sonoma a cave was reached at
the distance Irom the face of fifty feet. The
cave Is forty foot long , twenty high and
twenty wide. This tunnel is In the side of
the mountain , some distance above Itowldcr
creeic. The mud bottom of the cave Is a
Hpeeics of slack , decomposed mineral-bear
ing rock , mixed with carbonates. A polo
was run down Into the muck a distance of
twelve feet , but how much deeper it goes
lias not yet boon ascertained. Assays place
the value of the ere at $15.071 per ton , gold
720 ounces , silver twenty ounces , anil lead
40 per cent. In the neighborhood of the
Sonoma there are ten other mines that give
promise of becomlnlng line properties with n
little more development. It is now certain
that Keiulrick will bccouio a great mining as
well as agricultural district.
A ! > < > iul City.
The most depressing sight I saw in a
month of recent travel on the I'aclilc coast
' 'was n dead city , says a writer In the Northwestern -
western Magazine. I will not give its name
or locality , for I do not want to add to the
troubles of its few remaining inhabitants.
At the height of Us boom It had a population
of 7,000 , now It has a scant 2,000 , and
those nro holding on only because they
hoped that a railroad would do something-
for the place this year or next. The tow u is
well built on the shores of a lK < autlful bay ,
but it has not a single wagon road leading
back Into the country. The forests horn It
In on all the landward sides. It has
not a single industry that I could
discover to support , the imputation ,
save ono sawmill. The people are liter
ally living on each oilier. In the big hotel I
* at down tn an excellent dinner served bv
white-Jacketed negro waiters , but there wcro
only three guests besides inj self. I walked
about the lonesome streets and met nobody.
I looked into the many stores and saw no
customers A dally paper appears regularly
and tr.iius and boats come ami go , but there
Is no perceptible business transacted. The
town was founded by a land company as a
Klgnntlo speculation and the company took
in money enough from the sale of lots to nc-
cumulate a reserve fund from which the ex
penses of the hotel and newspaper are still
paid , iVrlmps the railroad company , which
is constantly Invoked as a special providence ,
will yet do something to revive the place. I
hope so. In the meantime It offers a curi
ous and striking study to the intelligent
traveler who has watched the course of
western townslto booms.
- MornI Hpnms ,
Two Oregon towns are bowling along on
the crest of the wave of reform. Astoria
has placed the seal of condemnation on the
Sunday saloon , The directors of the loading
social club are under arrest for permitting
sale of liquors and play at billiards on Sun
day. Twenty-two ladles who carry on n
retail traffic oppo&d by morality and for
bidden by law nro In confinement or under !
ball , and a * many men have been arrested
for gambling or for "being proprietors of
liojscs where gaming is carried on , " The
moral epidemic threatens the comfort nnd
peace of mind of others whoso conduct Is
somewhat mottled , or at least not as lofty as
the purlit Meal. Should the mnnlft 5licit fern

Down In the southern end of the state reform - |
form tendencies nro no IMS marked , but of a
different character , Axhland nestles amid

per the slrroccns of the south. Natur
ally the tendency of the natives Is ethereal.
Hut , unfortunately , a millstone appears to
retard the elevating efforts of the four hun
dred. A recent attempt to concentrate the
social-elect and cut loose from human drosv
so to speak , ciilmlnaled In a vigorous kick
expressed In plain United Stales , lo-wtt :
"Tho mediocre Idiot who conceived this
Idea of locally creating himself a gifted fool
of Ihe order of Iho bra/en ass who runs at

Ttiu dnpiincAo ,
California drops the Chinese question tern-
warily to consider the influx of Japanese.
At present the Japanese , If they do not vlo-
ate the contract iabor law , can enter the
'outitry ' as freelj as oilier Immigrants. For
long tltno San Francisco polled Iho Japs ,
nado servants of them , put them Into places
f domestic trust , and elevated them above
Iho Chinese as a superior race. The reau-
ion has now scl In , and Iho Jap has become
an object of aversion In some qtnr-
crs. As a mailer of fact there Is litllo dif-
erencu belween the common laborers of
hlna and Japan. IJoth work on Iho Pacific
east fora lower wage than the white man ,
ho Japanese of lalo underbidding even Ihe
? hincso. Just now railroad contraclors llnd
t convenient to engage the Japanese , and In
consequence ihere have been Udly protests
* rom the whlto laborers. It Is stated by the
san Francisco Chronicle lhat "Ihe Japanese
lave complolely overridden the Chinese in
the Sandwich Islands , " and it sounds the
varning "that tha same thing is
ikcly to occur in the United Stales
unless measures are taken to re-
sirlcl their immigration. " So many of
heso people formerly arrived destitute or
'raund by contract at San Francisco that the
mmigrallon bureau at the port found it
necessary to take summary action , with the
esult that the lido has been turned to Brit
ish Columbia , whence those immigrants nro
; onung down the coast In great nun bers ,
J'ho difliculty would seem to bo lhat the peo-
) le of California , in their treatment of the
Japanese , have not distinguished between
.lio better class the docile , intelligent ami
Industrious and locruits of the slums and
the waterside , who are no heller than the
Highbinder Chinese and have come to thio
country to prey upon it and return horns
with the spoils.

A prominent contractor and engineer
staled lo a Salt Lake rcoorler thatcontracls
have been lot for the grading of between ! iOO
and SWO miles of extension of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad from Fort Casper to
Ogdcn. For Iho pasl four or flvo days sev
eral contractors from the coast have been in
3gden looking after contracts. The con-
Iracls so far let have been moslly In seollons ,
which Is doubtless done for Ihe purpose of
facilitating the work and gelling Iho road
bed in condition at the earliest practicable
moment. The contraclors who secured
jilcccs of the work are from Denver , San
ITrancIseo and eastern points. In the nego-
Uallons for these grading contracts it Is said
the contraclors deal directly with the Chicago
cage & Northwestern Uailway company
through Its agents , although the work is be
ing done under the name of Iho Ulah & Wy
oming Railway company.
The Casper Tribune stales lhat "A corps
of railroad surveyors under Engineer Hogers
Is now in Casper and will commence next
Tuesday to cross-section Iho survey the Elkhorn -
horn extension lo Ofden. Whether the road
will bo pushed to early complolion or not is
yet a matter of conjecture. Casper has
bright prospects in any event. "
In three or four weeks the Dakota , Wy

There is an increasing Interest in Irriga
tion in all the western states in which arid
lands exist , but In Arizona the capitalists
arc especially bold In pushing forward the
work of watering dry lands by artificial
means. The greatest project of this char
acter yet undertaken was recently begun
and plans for ono greater still are now an
nounced. Conlracls for the llrst have been
placed Involving an expenditure of more
than $0,000,000 for the conslrucllon of reser
voirs and canals lo utilize water from the
Cila ! river In reclaiming : > 00,000 acres of land ,
which will bo llrst class fruit and vine land.
The second project contemplates the re
claiming of 400,000 acres of arid land with
walor laken from Ihe Hlo Verde , slored in
Ihree Immense scsorvoirs and disinbulcd by
150 miles of canals. The land and the canal
routes have been surveyed and the f'J00,000
necessary to undertake the work subscribed.
It is o\ident that men of moirey have great
faith in the possibilities of Aruona.

In a plcHircsquo Hampshire nook In
the vnllcy of the River Test , says u Lon
don exchange , stands a busy mill from
which is produced that paper whoso
crispness is music to the hiiinnn car nil
the world over. Slnco 1719 this Lover-
ctoko mill has been busy In the inntiu *
fueturo of the Batik of England note
pnpor , nnd at the present time about fiO-
000 of the corotcd crisp pieces of paper
lire made there dally.
To a careless observer there docs not
appear to bo much difference between
n Bank of England note of the present
day nnd ono of those which were llrst
Issued toward the end of the seventeenth
century , but when looked into it will be
found that the present note is , as re
gards the quality of the paper nnd
the excellence of the engraved writing ,
n much more remarkable production.
The fact Is , the Bunk of England and
forgers of false notes have been run
ning n race the bank to turn out a note
which defies the forget1 to imitate It , and
those nimble-lingered and keen-witted
gentry to keep oven with the bank.
The notes now in itho are most elabor
ately manufai'turcd'bits .of . paper. The
paper itself is remarkable in many ways.
Its thinness and transparency are guards
against two once popular modes of for
gery : The washing out of the printing
by means of turpentine , and erasure with
the knife.
Tno wire mark or water mark is an
other precaution against counterfeiting
and is produced in the paper while it is
in a state of pulp. In the old manufac
ture of bank notes the water murk was
caused by an immense number of wires
( over 2,000) ) stitched and sown together ;
now it is engraved in a steel faced die ,
which is afterwards hardened nnd is then
used as a punch to stamp the pattern out
of plates of sheet brass. The shading of
the letters of this water mark enor
mously increases the difficulty of imita
tion. 4
The paper is made entirely from pieces
of now linen and cotton , and the tough
ness of it can bo roughly guessed from
the fact that a single bank note will ,
when unsized , support a weight of
thirty-six pounds , while when sized you
may lift fifty-six pounds with it.
Few people would imagine that a Bank
of England note was not of the same
thickness all througlu It is not though.
The paper is thicker- the left hand
corner to enable it to'tako a bettor and
sharper impression ' 'of the vignette
there , and it is also considerably thicker
in the dark shadows pt the center let
ters nnd under the figures nt the ends.
Counterfeit notes are invariably of
only ono thickness throughout.
The printing is done from electrotypes ,
the figure of Britannia being the de
sign of Mucliso , the Idle Royal acade
mician. "
Even the printing Ink is of special
make and is manufactured at the bank.
Comparing a genuine with a forged note
one observes that the print on the latter

NEW ACROBATIC FEAT.
Mr . Mooro'n Ilrllllniit rnlllng-Uon-ti-Stnlrs
Act.
In those days of skirt dancing , split :
and other unmentionable diversions of
the fin do sieclo woman , it is as refresh
ing as an April shower to learn of grace
and agility turned to some bettor ac
count than post-lenton festivities. This
pessimistic philosophy is prompted by a
fitting item among the fashion notes or
so-called "Butterfly Brevities" of a
Connecticut exchange published right
in the center of the land of steady
habits.
Doubtless it would not bo inaccurate to
designate Now Haven as the geograph
ical center of the inner circle of sobriety ,
says the Now York World. This little
spring boquot of vigor nnd verity
shows tnat the now gymnasium at Yale
was opened none too soon if the youths
of this country are to maintain their
prowess in athletics.
Here are the facts as narrated by our
esteemed contemporary :
"Mrs. Mary E. Moore of1.10 Orchard
street , had a bad fall down three flights
of stairs nt her homo on Monday night.
As she fell she had a 3-year-old babe on
one arm and n lighted lamp in the othoi
hand. She fell , " the item adds , tersely ,
"with great velocity. "
Uor friends rushed to her aid , hear
ing her fall , and naturally expected to
find her lifeless body. But no ; Mrs
Moore has no * attended the ladles' days
at the Yale gymnasium for naught
The "flying rings , " the "human pin
wheel" and the ' 'giant torpedo" once
seen make an indelible strawberry
mark on a woman's receptive mind , ant
on more than ono occasion it has been
strongly hinted that the slstots ant
sweethearts of the Yale youths have
n privately of course ) practiced these
eats.
But to return to our muttons o :
rather to Mrs. Moore whom wo loft a
the bottom of the thtyfl flight of wtairs
of 430 Orchard streej , . There she was ,
as the Now Haven Jqurjial man puts it ,
in simple , unadorned Anglo-Saxon , "tho
baby in ono hand and , the lump in the
other , none the wor.so .for her perilous
bhtitc. save somewhat -shaken up. "
Ho thus continue ! * : "Recovering her
self she climbed back ; to her apartments
unassisted. She lmil ( | ' ho regretfully
admits , "ono or twoflight , bruises , " duo
no doubt to lack of pr/iotico in carryin : ig
n live dumb-boll in one hand instead of
two lamps , as is perhaps the usual prac
tice In doing this fcatyf .
Other details \verrf hot deemed worthy
of record , but to tHl > o unacquainted
with the triple fall njs one in Connecti
cut it is disappointing not to learn
whether the lamp was smoking when
Mrs. Moore climlwd back to her apart-
im-iit unassisted. The tale appears de-
Hignest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. '
feottvo In ono or two other minor points.
One would Ilko to know whether Mrs.
Moore's 3-yenr-ohl baby U Inured to this
sort of thing or whether Itnbo had "ono
or two slight bruises. " Perhaps It Is
customary to use a borrowed Infant In
learning the act.
Again , an anxious world would Hko to
know something about the costume best
suited to this after-dinner oxcrclso. Did
Mrs , Moore wear an ntxordeon-plonted
skirt , the Chicago Dress Reform league's
approved morning wrappers , or did she
use the now voluminous full skirt ? i'rob-
ably carpet slippers covered her foot ,
though ono would not bo surprised to
know that really export summer snultors
wear high French heels.
Now that her skill Is fully known Mrs.
Moore Is likely to bo pestered 'most to
death by manufacturers of patent Incom
bustible and non-breakable lamp chlu -
noys , and purveyors of Infant's food will
insist upon having her portrait mid that
of her precocious babe.
The advice may stand her in good
stead In these days of rival vaudeville
managers that the only safe way Is to
have her fall copyrighted and printed.
Within four days half a score of earnest ,
young nnd handsome women may be
vaulting down staircases , through fiery
hoops and the like , not only in the quiet
homes of Now England , but in the far
west.
. Method In n Doctor' * Itemed } ' .
The introduction in our cities of apart
ment houses , In which n considerable
number of families live under ono roof ,
has given rise to many amusing occur
rences , says the Youth's 1'ompanlon. In
an eastern city , recently , two physicians
wcro walking together on the street
when ono of them lifted his hat to a lady
they mot.
"A patient ? " asked the other.
"Oh , in a way,1' answered the first doc
tor. I treated her the other day for a
small dilllcultv. "
"
"What was "it ? "
"A wart on the nose. "
"And what did you proscribe ? "
"I ordered her to refrain absolutely
from playing the piano. "
The other doctor was astonished.
"Ordered her to leave oil playing the
piano for a wart on the no e ! Well , I
can't understand your treatment. "
"If you knew the circumstances you
would , " said the first doctor. "She oc
cupies the Hat juxt under mine in the
apartment house.1
"Ah now I understand ! " said the
other.
New York Wallers on n.Strike.
NEW YOKK , April 1(1. ( The threatened
strike of waiters , which , the hitler say , will
hoconie cITcclivo within the next few days ,
was inaugurated in a iiuiut way hist evening
nt the Holland house , where thirty-four
waiters , helpers and soullory maids went
out. The now Hotel Waldorf also had
trouble with its help and was so shorthanded -
handed in consequence that some of the
guests could not he served. Uriolly , the
grievances of the waiters arc less work and
more pay and more food ami of a better char-
actor. They threaten to continue their cam
paign until their demands are granted.
