situated near by, being Just above the
Highland Spring. It will be 2O-stamp
mill. adapted for dry crushing, and pro-
PEELED by steam. Two boilers, 48x16
feet each, will supply steam for tho 95-
horse power engine. with 16-inch cyl
endar and 36-inch stroke. The mill will
be provided with eight combination
pans, four settlers and two retorts, max

in running order within the next 80 days.
This is the first mill constructed at
Highland, and gives evidence of the con-

value of their mine.
New LIeHr.-The latest thing in light
giving material is the Mineral Sperm OIL
produced in the distillation of petrole-
UNI. Besides giving very good light, it
has the very great advantage Of being
non-explosive. Yesterday evening its
superiority over other burning fluids was
demonstrated in our presence by R. A.
Reyes, of Walker Bros, Salt Lake. A
ball Of the wick was saturated with the
oil and being ignited was held over a ves-
sci containing the fluid, and although
the burning particles dripped into the
vessel below no explosion followed, but
the fame was extinguished just as a
lighted candle would be extinguished if
dropped into bucket of water. lamp
filled with this new oil and burning
brightly was taken down and unceremo-
niously tipped to an angle of As degrees,
| and the light was Immediately extin-
guished, without anything like an explo-
sion or other damage. A burning fame
may be dipped into this oil and its ex-
tinguishment follows Immediately. A
light may also be put out by pouring the
oil upon it. This new oil is a great i'm
| provement on any heretofore used, and
its non-explosive qualities commend it
to popular favor. We are assured this
oil can be delivered here at $17. so per
case, which is little in advance of the
| price of coal oil, but as it will last longer
than any oil used, it would be wise
| economy to substitute it for the other.

Territory. and will fill all orders made
upon them. n. ms
A CASE OF DEsTIruTIoN.-Int this coun-
try, where wages are so good and sup
plies plentiful and comparatively cheap,
restitution is not often met with. A
case has been called to our notice which
is worthy Of charitable consideration.
The case is that OF widow woman, re-

is confined to her bed by sickness and is
destitute of many Of the necessaries of
life to one in her hapless condition. A

ing to her case in professional capacity;
but she has other necessities which de-
mand contributions from those of chart
table and generous impulses. Let it not
be said that in community where mon
ey passes SO freely from one to another
that case of restitution was allowed to
continue unprovided for. We refrain
from mentioning the name of the unfor-
tunate woman, as she feels delicacy
about having her condition known; but
to our knowledge it is clear case of dss-
titution. A subscription in her behalf
will be circulated to-day. Let all give
freely, for he who giveth to the poor
lendeth to the Lord"
THEATRE.-Last evening the Lorraine
& Mason Troupe gave another of their
pleasant entertainments. They were
greeted by well-6lled house, and had
the satisfaction of realizing that their
efforts to please were not unappreciated.
Miss Maggie Knight, in song and dance,
proved. as usual, the principal attraction.
This afternoon the company will give a
matinee, commencing at Q clock. They
will give an entertainment this evening,
with entire change of programme. See
bills ofthe day.
