Mining matters in Beaver county,' Utah, continue active, from the San Francisco district on the west, through the Star, Bradshaw and Granite districts to the east.

Solid gold in a veinlet as wide as a lead pencil is now being found In the property which the Salt Laker, Adamson, recently discovered in the mountains near Winnemucca, Nevada, according to the Humboldt Star. Development work on the Sirums-Olse-n group of tungsten properties in the eastern part of White Pine county will be continued. A shaft Is being sunk on the main ledge, and sufficient ore Is being taken out to pay for the work. Deposits of zinc carbonate and silicate ores equaling any r.nown deposits of their kind in the world, occur in the Yellow Pine area in Nevada, but it was not until four years ago that the true character of these deposits was accidentally discovered. Ore running $725.60 gold and 14.8 ounces silver has been struck in the old Copper Head property In Drum. The Drum district is located in Juab county, Utah, about forty miles southwest of Tintic and thirty miles from Oasis, on the Salt Lake Route. Goodsprings, Nevada, operators now find a ready market for all kinds of ore which they produce. In contrast with expensive methods ot milling zinc ores the ores of this district require merely breaking down, hoisting, and sorting and shipment. at Nineteen gold bars, valued $426,000, were shipped from Goldfield to San Francisco last week, by express.

Condemnation proceedings to divert the water for power were resisted by the town of Cascade, on the ground that diversion of the water would mean "destruction of the towns chief asset. It was put forward that. In making for scenic beauty, the water was already being put to "beneficial use within the meaning of the law, since it drew many people to the city, therefore was not subject to condemnation proceedings for mechanical power.

A patriotic custom has been followed by the several states of the Union in whose honor battleships have been named, of providing the vessel with a silver service. The cost of these services has ranged from five to twenty-fiv- e thousand dollars. The funds for purchasing the same have been raised in the several states in various ways by legislative appropriation, private subscription, and subscriptions by the various ci.icd ot the The silver service which has been selected by the committee, consists of about one hundred and thirty pieces.
