The Salt Lake Veietse of the 18th, says
Lewis Robinson and two o;her men brought
in,o the city on Thursday, 40 ounces OF
gold dust, which, according to report, they
had crushed out Of quartz IN two days. The
dust Was asssyed and run into . bar that
weighed 3s and BLOC ounces, and was
valued at $40. Its tinencss is 93is. The
only account the discoveries have as We,
given Is that the mines are about tSo huns
dsed miles from that place and thst they
are rich. Outsiders locate the mines in the
Green River county somewhere, from the
fact that Robinson owns . ferry on thu
stream. That there are good gold mines
in Utah is beyond doubt, but they arc
concealed by those Who know where they
are. and prospecting is very much discour-
aged. This evidence Of the existence Of
rich gold deposits will induce some thor
oush prospecting.

TIE SUNDAY QUESTION IN Bosroy.-The
Sunday question 's.under discussion in Boz
ton, the main question being the opening OF
the public library ON Sunday. The Boston
correspondent Of the Tribune referring to it
says: 1.-The Legislature. as | have said, hes
refused to prohibi: the horse.cars from cara
rying the people Of Boston into the suburbs
there to ramb.e over the woods and fields,
to the contempt Of the ordinary religious ex
ercises Of the day. II hes also denied the
petition Of the BARRIERS, that their shops may
be shut up on the Sabbath. Newspapers.
called Sunday are printed here and dis
trituted or sold on Sunday morning, and
thousands Of books are carried home from
the public library. and Lor;ng's, and Burn
hams on SATURDAY., TO beguile the ted urn
Of the Sabbath. Yet certain persons figh,
IS vigorously against opening the public liz
brsry on Sunday. AZ il this were the en;er-
ing wedge. instead Of a single and most un>
important act in the long lire cf innovation
upon ID issues and notions. The Traveller
which has got the Rev. Mr.. Punchard hack
again into It's editorial chair. is the leader
in this stupid crusade against common
sense"

Great credit is due to Capt. Lee
