cial center of the southeastern portion of
the State, must assist in accomplishing
certain needed improvements, among
wbieh may be enumerated the opening
of free roads from oil parts of the
try to the city, shortening the routes Of
travel hence to all outside camps bor-
derinq upon Utah, and by liberal dealing
attract the trade of a people who will
naturally seek the most direct commune
cation with the railway. Phoebe and
thor nlaees in that direction Mt present
aenond mainly upon this city as a source
Of sunpIy, and nearly the entire bullion
nrodnct of that section comes to us, as
aalso nine.tenths of the passenger carry
inc is done by our stage lines. But for
al this a formidable opposition is aris-
mo Already there is q stage line max
inc reonlar trips from Phoebe to Salt
Lake City, established by Government
subsidy and placing that section IN di.
rect communication with the East at a
low figure for passage, etc. And we
hear that there will soon be another line
started connecting Phoebe with the rail
rood at Toano, via Spring .~Valley-the
most natural avenue there is. Should
Tho trade of the southeast once be di-
ye,ted from this city, it could never be
rooa;ned not even by the completion of
n reilroad connecting us with the main
,,npk But IL can be retained il u
bns;ness men will use n little exertion.
Nv a small outlay Of money, a road can
he built across the mountain east OF
white River that will lessen the distance
hence TO Phoebe 80 miles. as against the
present travelled road. Individual enter
prise may yet seek to open the avenue;
but if ii should, as a matter OF course 1t
will be with a view to make money by
charging tolls. The public should do it.
A small subscription raised by u bust
ness houses would suffice to send a work
ing party over the route and 1t could be
opened a free road of travel TO all-in-
yiting the agricultural products OF II
Mormon friends to this market, in ex-
change for which would be given the
groceries, dry goods, etc, they consume.
Let some public spirited resident of
Hamilton take this matter in hand, for it
is a proposition worthy the serious con-
sideration of all business men.
MEETING OF MINE owNERs.-Last night
there was held at the office Of the Eber-
erhardt and Aurora N. and NJ. Co.,
Treasure City, a meeting of those inter
ested in the mines of the district; the
object of which was to consider the
question of grading the price of hire in
accordance to the worth Of the laborer-
mnny contending that n uniform amount
given each individual laborer was alike
unjust to the employer and employed
and justice demanded n reform; that the
now given TO each was paid to the
good and bad alike. which was radically
wrong, and the evil should be corrected
by the establishment Of a scale of wages
