Langsdorf, 1891.-Spe-cial about aa follows: It has been established that there is a great mineral deposit here of galena, carbonates, copper, and some gold, the carbonate ores Only a few largely predominating. assays have been made, but the; all show up exceedingly well, and the owners of the claims from which the assays have been made are greatly encouraged. What the camp needs, now is develop- ia ment The La Plate, the Heller, the Blue Bird, the Ben Uur, and several others are being worked, and the AS BAPIDLT DEPOSITS CNOOVERED as possible. The Sundown is not being worked, and although it 'present probably the richest appearance of any prospect in camp, yet its owners seem to be averse to doing any development work. They have had some good offers to sell, but they have refused all. Mr. Boden, one of the proprietors of the Sundown, stated to me Saturday that work would be begun this morning, but up to noon nothing had been done. The people here are waiting very anxiously for work on this claim to be commenced and prosecuted. Several Colorado experts have visited the camp in the last few days and their almost unanimous opinion is that a rich mineral belt exista here and that only development is needed to make this . THE GREAT CARBONATE CAMP far as my personal observation goes by prospecting the hills, the mineral belt seems to be about five or six miles wide, extending in a northof all the west As westerly and southeasterly direction for many miles, the incline being toward the west And this opinion is confirmed ' by the experience of other prospectors. This is as yet of course, a new mining camp, and MEN WITHOUT ANY MONET W. IL Harvey, Geo. Marsh, Wm. O. Wil son, McU. Van Dyke, Don Maguire, J. F. ilendersbot, J. ers. It W itherell and oth E. A. McDsniel. secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, introduced tbe subject of building the Middle Fork road, and urged immediate action, assuring the court of the united support and approval of the citizens of Ogden and Weber county. E. R Kidgeley, W. H. Harvey and others spoke, giving their views regarding the neoessity for building the proposed road to the La Plata mining district The applause which greeted their remarks was loud and long. Selectman Foy moved to appropriate 124)00, or such part as should be needed to put the Middle Fork Canon in good repair to the mining camp. After some discussion the motion waa carried amid ., , ,, f applause. In the afternoon tbe court again met for the purpose of letting the contract for the work. There were several bidders. Mr. William Wilson proposed to handle the work for the county, furnish ing food, tools and pay for tbe men for 15 per cent of the actual cost of the road. After a lengthy dincuesion of this proposition the court adjourned to meet again today at 9 o'clock a. m., at which time all parties having propositions to make are requested to be present Numerous expressions of spproval were heard yesterday when the extra edition of TheCommercial announced to the citizens that the county court had proved itself equal to the emergency and had voted the appropriation. The court has done its duty, was the general opinion, and should have the unWhatdivided support of tbe citizens. ever may be the outcome of ithe present situation, the court cannot be condemned, for its action has been urged upon it by a very large number of the heaviest taxpayers in the county. The part taken by the Chamber of Commerce in the agitation for the Middle Fork road has been highly creditable and shows that the managers aie enter prising and watchful of the best interests of the city. The first proposition to build the road was urged on the county court by the Chamber of Commerce and much of the credit for the final outcome is due to the Chamber's action. should not come here just at present, until it is officially announced that laAnd in borers and miners are wanted. saying this it must not be understood that the camp is not in a nourishing conStrikes and Rumors of Strikes. dition and growing rapidly.

At Middiebury the president mads another speech, in which he spoke of tbe great pleasure he had derived from the acquaintance of Governor Stewart He also spoke in eulogistic terms ot Middiebury college. At vergennes, the president made a laughing complaint "I have bad," said he, "some experience in the business of speaking from the end of a railroad train, but this morning it haa seemed to me that these Vermont towns are closer together than on any route I have yet traveled." After the laughter at this complaint had somewhat subsided, the president made a most interesting review of the history of tbe origin ot Vergennea and of the patriotic history of Vermont Loud applause greeting almost every sentence. At Castleton a shower of bouquets and flowers ot all kinds was thrown at the train.

Chicago, Aug. 25. Changes were made today in tbe interior plana ot tbe manufacturer's building of tha World's Fair, which add ten acres to the floor of tha building and gives it forty acres available for exhibit and avenues, making tha largest exposition building ever constructed.; Tbe musio hall and shoe snd leather building are forced out by the new arrangement to other part of the grounds. Tbe change was tha result of a protest by Vice President De loung, who demonstrated that under the previous arrangement there would be barely room for the foreign exhibits, thus completely shutting out American manufacture. Tha propoaition of M. EiffeL of Paris. to erect a tower at tba exposition was today definitely rejected. The American company, headed by W. Hals, will, it ia said, submit a more acceptable plan. Stealing Government Timber. Dclcth. Aug. 25. As a result ot the investigating expeditions along the Big and Little Fork rivers, sent out by the government to look into the ohargea that tbe government timber has been stolen, it has been decided by the inter ior department to establish a permanent government post on the Rainy river, just south of the international boundary.

Gradada.ta practically i a state ot aeige and tba troops bare at the eapUl are confined to the barrecka. In additkr. tha opposition to iPreaident Sacaaa ia growing daily. For years a vigorous rivalry baa existed between the protrreasista, whose headquarters are at Granada, and the Catholic church party, whose stronghold are Leon and Man ague. Granada tor many terms past baa furnished the coun try with th president but at laat election Sacaaa, a Leon man, was chosen president, tha progressists say by undue means. lis bad previously been senator and on the mysterious death ot President Carazo, two years ago, waa choeen to till out the uc ho is tied term. Thia waa not approved by tha progressists and Sacasa became more unpopular aa it be came known that he, backed by tbe Church party, was leaving no stone unturned to bring about his reelection. For some time it had been whispered that an attempt would be made to ouat e him, but a coup by himself waa a surprise. Tne gentlemen arrested are Cbamorro, Zavala, Don Aneelmo Rivas, editor ot a leading newspaper ot the country; Don Enrique Guzeman, son of Gen. Guze-maand Don J. D. Rodrigue, formerly attached to the legation at Washing' ' ton. i Their arrest caused great excitement in Granada and the prison waa attacked. The exact number of casualties is not known, but it ia reported that the chief officer pf the police and at least six soldiers wese killed and about fifty citizens shot The prisoners were subsequently brought to Managua, where they were sentenced to be escorted across the frontier and ordered MWts tfctarn to the country under penalty of death. Granada haa been placed in a state of siege. As some of the prisoners belong to wealthy and important families in Nicaragua, the matter has oansed great excitement and further trouble is expected. It is known that a number of other persons are under surveillance by Sacasa's spies. The present political troubles do not affect the progress of work on the mara-tim- e canal, though Don Rodriguez, one of the gentlemen exiled, is known to have been a bitter enemy of the Ameri can enterprise. This opposition is said to have grown from snubbing which Rodriguez thought he received from the American secretary of state while attached to the legation at Washington.

Up "' to a day or two ago the shaft or cut bad reached a depth ot some ten feet It waa also some fifteen feet long. In this, among the boulders ot lime in the seam tilled in with clay and talc, were found the chunks of galena. In doing thia amount of work some two or three tons of ore had been taken out which would run over eightt pejs cent, lrad, and a few ounoea in silver. In tha bottom of the abaft th Moulders were becoming heavily charged with copper stains. All of the ore in the La Plata is believed to come from the contact irther the mountains, and it is. in hi oxuniun. in this contact' where all of th ore in tb district will eventually be found, but little if any attention baa been paid to it so far. There are very few miners or prospectors there.

The ore is a solid heavy galena, mining over 70 per cent lead, but scarcely any silver. The vein is a solid formation and is at least four feet wide. There is enough merit in the district to encourage prospecting, but it is unfortunate that people have become so excited and that so little work has been done.

Brigham Bugler: A terrible case ot poisoning which came nearly resulting in tbe death of six able bodied men, oc curred near Beaver River City last Saturday. It seems that a crowd of threshers were at work on the wheat stacks of Allen Hunsaker. At noon six of the laborers came into the house, washed and sat down to lunch. A can of salmon was placed on the table, of the contents of which all partook. Almost simultaneously after eating the fish, they all turned sick and began to either vomit or cramp. Two of the most seriously affected were soon prostrated, and later on they lost consciousness. Their faces turned black and blue and they writhed in agony. With six dying men on their hands, the household was in a fearful hubbub. But Dr. Roche finally arr.ved and greatly relieved the sufferers. He pronounced the cause of the affair "leading" from the salmon can. The victims had all the symptoms of strichnine poisoning. Tbey stated later that the contents of the can appeared rather wh.;t and slimy and did not taste just righft fatal can was brought to Brigam and submitted to Dr. Wade by m Bugler reporter.
