People sho noticed in The Examiner window a splendid cant of the head of Sitting Dull will lie interested to hear the pretty romance of the young artist whoso work it was. It was modeled by Miss Alice Rido-on- t, a young lady of less than 18 years of acre, who lias already shown such tal-ent that she bids fair to take front rank among the bout of artists that the Pacific slope can claim an its own. Iler first start in her chosen profession can be directly traced to a large English mastiff owned by her family, although her artistic aspirations date back to her early childhood. One day, while accom-panied by the mastiff, sbo passed the open door of a sculptor's studio. The imimal rushed in and, with iipparent knocked over the pedestal upon which was placed for exhibition the artist's latest work. An arm and leg were uliattered, and the piece lay a seeming Wreck on the floor. The at-tendant was wild. Tho girl endeavored to make excuses for tho dog, but nothing would answer. Offers were mude to pay for tho damage, but tonoavail. The man, dreading that upon tho artist's return ho would lose bis position, was inconsolable. The girl begged to bo allowed to repair the piece, and after repented entreaties tho man consented, with the remark that while he did not believe it could be fixed, he was very certain isho could not injure it. He mixed the clay for her, and watched with interest the nnpracticed lingers doing fho work that tho accomplished artist had so lately finished and taken so much pride in. An hour passed witb most gratifying results; the arm was re-stored and was perfect; tho attendant waa happy. Another hour the leg approached com-pletion, when lo, tho artist appeared on the scene, IIo took in the situation at glance, and unnoticed by tho occupants of tho room watched tho work. Fin-ished, explanations aro in order and given. The nrtist is charmed, declares tho work of restoration has added new charms to tho piece, and having heard from the girl the great ambition of her life, went witli her to her home and in-sisted that her parents should allow her an opportunity to learn tho art for which she evidently had so much inherent tal-ent.

BiiNESJiROlipi The Eelative Position of Salt Lake as Compared With the Sisterhood of Great Oitiif. THE YEAE BEPRESENTS $84,030,030 A Remarkable Showing for the Leading City of the Inter-mounta-in Country figurm That Tell. The Salt Lake City clearing house was established April 1st, 1HH0. At that time there were nine banks in the city, and eight of them uuited in form-ing the clearing house association. The bank that remained outside is one of the largest savings banks west of the Missouri river, but it is primarily a sav-ings institution and its commercial bus-iness forms a comparatively small part of its total business, consequently tho fact that it is not iucluded makes less difference in the clearings of the city than if a bank having the same total deposits but doing chielly a commercial biiiinepg was not a member of the asso-ciation. Within the past year four new banks have been established in the city and one of them ha joined tho associa-tion, making tho present number nine, leaving four banks, including the sav-ings bank above referred to, still out-side the clearing house. Hearing house returns are val-uable and interesting not oulv because they are good means of gauging business in general, but also because they make it possible to com-pare the amount of business done by different cities of the same class. With the close of the local clearing home's tirst year it is possible to present the record of a full year's business, and to note the relative position of Salt Lake City. Taking the total annual clearings for a basis, the citios of the L'nited States, where clearing houses have existed for the past year or longer, may bo divided into four classes: (I) Ten cities each having annual clearings of more than MOD, 000,001); (2) six cities having clear-ings of less than $,"(00,00(1.000 and more than $;IOO.OIH),000; (8) fourteen cities each having clearings of less than than Mini. 000, 090 and more than and (4) twenty-seve- cities hav-ing clearings of less than 100,()00,000 each, lielow is given a tabulated state-ment of clearings of fifty-seve- n cities for the year end.ng March 1,101, show-iu-also the number of banks in each clearing house according to the latest obtainable report, and the population of each city by the census of l.H"0: C,tls. g --..ijt 5 $ 1 r "k Pa New York HI f: 9 UIT. 1W Ol''! t.519.5W Huston va ii.ii mao; i hicauo i 4.4iM,'i;,Mil I.IMJ.I 3 Philadelphia... !

MINING HAS THE CALL The Hen i on the Nest Which is Soou to Incubate tho Sil-ver Egg. NO OTHER SUBJECT 13 DISCUSSED A Talk with Sam Gilson en the Prob-able Output of the Dugway District. Mining circles were nbla.o with en-thusiasm all day yestrday over tho showing made tor the Ihigwuy district by ham (iilson's lirst shipment of ore from tho liiick horn mine; but when night came, and people got hold of a copy of Tim 1'imks containing the par-ticulars of the gold strike undo by L I'. Karrick and f lank Knox from which an assay was made of over a quarter of a million dollars to the ton. then the excitement rose to a white heal. "It is very evident," quoted Judge Iflair, "that the Deep 'reek district has only been dimly u p ociatcd, for mi one ever supposed there was anything but low grade truck there; but now each day adds new surprises, which transcends those of the one previous, .lust think of it! Wight tons of ore, taken from the grass roots, and out of a cut 0x12x1 2 feet, that will make such phenomenal returns! Why, the thing is simply tiuparalleil! I never heard of anything that could touch it! First it's oue camp and then another, each striv-ing for supremacy!" Other miners and people who never mined had caught the infection, until it would not be surprising if there would be twenty prospecting outlits leave this city for the new haunts of hidden bonanzas within the next week. It has been observed by the mining editor that inquiries are constantly be-ing made for good prospectors to grub slake for tho summer, and lit them out with puck animals, tools, etc., to ex-plore tho mineral realms of western Utah. The infection is in the air and nothing can prevent the spread of the epidemic. 'Ilia lilark Kurk.

It wns purchased by the following buyers: T li. Jones it Co., J. C. Conkliu for tiio Philadelphia Smelting and Refining company, and Seott it Anderson, each company getting 200 tons of the total aggregate. A TALK WITH (.ll.SON. There is not a bit of enthusiasm in Sam Gilson. 1I is ns cold and s a piece of temple granite, and four feet of solid gold in a continu-ous vein a mile long, would be wholly ineffectual to stir his platonin pulses. When asked how much ore Ihigway could ship if it had railroad facilities, he replied: "Three hundred tons a day. with one month's preparation, aud it would do it, too, without a quiver and with scarcely an effort. The most of it would be of alow grade, if it came from the openings which aro now made on the mines, but that was the class of stuir which was most beuelicial to the material interests of the country. It would employ more labor, need more smelters and would more evenly o the profits arising from the wealth produced, than if tho contrary was the case." "There are hundreds of tons of ore exposed at this timo in the district w hich will run ten to twenty ounces in silver and from 2 to d0 perVent lead." In the great lead contact, on what is known as the Yellow Jacket mine, there is a body of ore already blocked out, which is as large as the Cullen hotel. The mineral is in an iron gangue running 30 per cent in that metal, t i to M ounces in silver and 20 )ier cent lead." Those are the kind of mines which make busine-- s for railroad and make the pulses of commerce tremble. That mine could ship a hundred tons a day. THU SILVKK KINIr. This is another mine of great promiso and is already capable of doing won-derful things in the way of shipments. It has one body of solid galena opened up, that is two feet wide and which will mill run If ounces in silver and HO to TO per cent lead. It is owned by Uelatiey vii Mills, who have traced it for a distance of a quarter of a mile ou the surface, the lead retaining its strength nil tho distance. TDK t liANl t:s is another mine owned by tho same parlies as the Silver King that is a grand low grade proposition. There is now in sight more than three feet of heavy galena, and also a vein of equal sie of the linesi kind of lead carbonate, that will average much the samo as the Silver King. 11 A KHIS MINK, This is one of (iilson's own properties and he was very modest in speaking of its merits. On the surface rroppings he had obtained considerable quantities of ore which would assay thirty-nin- ounces copper, eleven lead, arid fourteen ounces in silver. After discovering the mine, he decided to go a little lower down on the hill and run a tunnel. To bis great surprise he had to extend it fifty-fou- r feet ho reached the hanging wall, the greater portion of the distance being through vein ma-terial of somewhat Odd characteristics carrying some ore. When the hangiii'j wall wall was cut, he concluded to sink on it and uow at a depth of forty feel the whole bottom is in a solid mass of pyrites of iron, with indication that it is Hearing water level. This pyrites will run ten ounces in silver It is now Mr. (iilson's intention to sink the shaft to a further depth of l.'iO feet, when he will again out back to the foot wall, before reaching which he is confident he will have a big body of paying ore. F1UST Dt'OWAY KONANZA KINO. .7. F. Ueardon is the first miner to be substantially rewarded for his labors in the Ibigway mountains, he receiving yesterday a check of $sf)0j from Sam (iilsou in payment for bis one fourth interest in tho Huckhoru mine, liy this purchase Gilson uow owns three fourths interest in the properly, sufficient to make him a rich man before the end of the season if the ore body contains any-thing like its present size aud grade. AFTEK MOKE OKU. Mr. Gilson will go back to Dugway today after more of the ore, and an-other shipment will be made immedi-ately, if the condition of the road will permit of it. A Vlatitl Miiir.

A MERCHANTS LICENSE The Question to be Made a Matter foi Special Consideration at the Special Meeting. THE BASIS OF OTHER CITIES. An Array of Pacts That Have not yet Appeared Before the Financiers of the Council Treasurer Joe Walden was asked for information on the special me.itiug of the council which takes place tomorrow night. "I attach more importance to it," said he, "than to most any they have yet held. The special subject fur dis-cussion is that of my annual report which embodies a new license schedule for Salt Lake City. Certainly among the many urgent changes none com-mends itself with move energy than this. In preparing this schedule I gave it a great deal of study, and if I have been misguided in my researches, I have to cuugratulate myself that others have erred. 1 have consulted the license rates with which Zion comes in competition, my object being to reach, as near as possible, tho same basis by which they are governed. In this schedulo tho merchants are by no means the only ones to be relieved of unjust taxation, and again there are nu-merous enterprises that have heretofore flourished and have gone scot free of license that will come in for their share if the schedule is adopted. I can scarcely complain of the report of Hie finance committee as, out of some seventy changes recommended thev adopted every oue with the exception of the merchant's license change and one or two immaterial ones. Vet I still ad-here to the belief that the merchants of Zion are not getting a fquare deal and feel convinced that if tho matter is presented in proper light the council will on Friday night feel it incumbent on them to grant the relief recom-mended. Our people have to be edu-cated upon the matter of cuy license. We havo been toiling after a btt er system adapted to medianal ages. I venture the opinion that not over tlfty merchants in this city today out of 100 are making and mouey and I'll wager the interviews that they have to undergo at times with their bankers frequently come to them in their dreams' Consistency is a virtue oil over for instance, tho Rapid Transit were given, free of charge, a franchise with which they would not part for a tremendous sum. In a lamb-like manner they came before the coun-cil on Tuesday night last Hud asked to bo relieved from a license that was merely nominal. A certain num- - of the council who held up their hands in holy honor at the very intimation of relieving the oppressed of our city of license, voted for and grew indignant at tha thought of anyone opposing it. Our present system' is an incentive to men to perjure themselves. Each oue, ac-cording to ordinauce, is required to hold up his hand and swear to the amount and value of his stock, and if you could stay in my otlico a week anil note the oaths taken you would wonder if there was a God i a Israel. It's un-fair to put a man in this position, for when a man is hard up, pressed and embarrassed it is then and there that he does things wrong and wicked. There are certain lines of businens which of neces-sity Bhould be regulated by a license, but in the ordinary channels of bus-inesswhere to inako a living a stock of goods is carried upon which there are four separate levies made and collected I believe an additional license tax is unjust and wrong, and upon this the-ory licenses in most cities are based and we will do well to follow suit." Treasurer Walden has given the mat-ter much attention and his views are entitled to serious consideration. ii:icso..L.

Flow few peop'o realize tho results ol extensive drainage, such ns a highly civ-ilized country presents. Is'o inconsider-able changes are wrought by artificial drainage. Much of surface water, in-stead of being left to form marshes, sat-ma-the soil or be taken up by evapora-tion, is carried away underground through drain pipes. Consequently the air is not eo moist as formerly, and the soil, instead of being constantly chiiled by evaporation, is rendered warm and genial. This result lias been particu-larly noticed in England and Scotland, whore very extensive ureas havo been artificially drained. Holland has been, one might say, re-claimed from the sea. The water lias been dyked out, and many parts of the country that were tho bottom of the sea aro now dry land, and though below sea level form tho homes of happy and in-dustrious communities. Years ago there were along the lower banks of the Mis-sissippi "drowned lads," subject to over flow and uninhabitable, covering an area larger than the stato of New York. Many of these lands havo been reclaimed by mean of levees. Thus, by man's me the surface, climate and general physical condition of tho earth beiiijT clianged. New York Ledger. A HOTIONJVERltULED. Judge Zane Decides That Diamond Must Abide by the Finding of the Juryi GREEN'S CONDUCT IS SUSPICIOUS. The Jury Would Scarcely Find Less Than the Verdict That Now Stands Against Him. Diamond's motion for anew trial was this morning overruled. Tho affidavits that were fired at the court were emphatic, but Judge Zane looked scrutiniingly into their credi-bility and decided that they were not sulllcietit to justify him in setting aside a verdict that had been found by a jury of twelve men who arrived at the con-clusion that he was guilty of man-slaughter. In ruling on the motion the court took occasion to say that there was, under the most favorable circum-stances, only the 7aguest possibility of a jury finding, in tho face of the evidence, that Diamond had committed an offense of less degree than that which had been arrived at by tho jury. He thought it somewhat eccentric That (ireen had not spoken before, in that human life was in the balance, and evidently regarded the fact that tho hammer had become a fixture in his tool chest as a suspicious circumstance. The court did not say this but there was a well defined inti-mation. In the face of this he was not satisfied that Diamond was entitled to a new trial aud therefore the motion was overruled.

"You were employed as policeman at Kansas City?" asked Mr. Critehlow. "Yes, sir." "And have frequently appeared in the witness chair?" "Yes, sir."

Cards were introduced from Asia into Europe at the time of the Crusades, and were first used by necro-mancers to foretell fortunes. They soon became a popular amusement in the south of Europe, where tho Saracens and Moors taught the people how to use them, and card playing spread to all parts of tho continent. The state records of Germany mention tho fact that Ru-dolph I, in l'To, was fond of the game and played with his courtiers. Alter the invention of pajier the manu-facture of cards became extensive, lint declined somewhat when card playing was forbidden by several of tho German etates and by tho English government on account of the supposed immoral tendency. Before tho era of paper, cards in the Orient were made of ivory, papy-rus and canvas, less frequently of the precious metals, and quite commonly oi wood. St. Louis' Globe-Democra- t.

The living chess tournament which Was held at St. Leonard's in aid of the funds of tho Men's Help society was a curious sight, the floor of Jioyal t'onoi rt hall being fur tho time converted into a huge chess board, while the gallery was reserved for spectators. The lion. Regi-nald Capell and Mr. Shadforth Poger wero the players and wen; well matched, each side scoring a win.

The pawns wero played by children, Bud admirably they acted their parts, though it must have been dull for thosa who wero never moved during the game. Two ushers in court suits fetched thu "pieces'' that wero taken, aud when the White Queen was taken prisoner several other white cir,';ives came to escort Her Majesty off the board. Among the "pieces"' were Lord and Lady Brassey as the Red King and Queen, the Hon. Muriel and tho Hon. Marie Brassey as the Red King find Queen's Rooks, tho Lady Beatrice Capell as the Red Queen's Bishop, and the lion. T. Brassey as the Red King's Knight, while on the white side Miss Forbes and Oapt. Gaskell were the King and Queen, and Baron von Roemer the Queen's Knight. London Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph. Block Istand'n Turkey Glory Grain.

Mr. Jacob Knnzler, a well known bus-iness man of Sandusky, is the victim of a most peculiar affliction which baf-fles medical skill. Saturday night he retired at the usual hour in full posses-sion of all bis faculties. When he awoko he found be could not sjieak, his vocal organs refusing absolutely to perform their usual functions. Finding that he could not utter a word, ho attempted to write what ho could not speak, but his hand refused to trace the words upon the paper. IIo moves about as usual, having per-fect control over bis lower limbs and likewise over bis bands until he attempts to use the latter to give expression on paper to bis thoughts, and then the- - fail him completely. His mind is as bright and clear apparently as ever. He under-stands all that is going on about bis homo and place of business, but lacks the power to express himself in imy manner. Mr. Kanzler is about o'i years of age and hale and hearty. His afflic-tion is not paralysis or any kindred ail-ment. Just what it is, however, is a poser to the medical men who havo seen him. It is believed to lie the only case ever known. Cleveland Leader. |
