very pleasing incident was witnessed BY
those who happened along Main street,
near Bishop & Lees drug store. Geo.
Il. Gushing, who has for the past four
teen months or more been in the employ
of Drs. Lee and Bishop, was about leav-
ing their employ. to become a partner of
Mr.. Burrage in the drug business. The
withdrawal of faithful employee from
their house was made the occasion of
substantial acknowledgment of the es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Gushing was held by
Drs. Bishop and Lee. These gentle
men, before allowing severance of the
business ties which had so long existed
between themselves and Mr.. c., pre-
scented him with a handsome gold watch
and chain. The present was wholly
surprise to the recipient, who highly
prizes it as a gratifying evidence of the
esteem in which he was held by the
worthy donors. Mr.. Cushing signalzed
the occasion by ordering a basket of
champagne which was drank with good
cheer by the donors, the recipient and
their friends
ACCIDENT, Night before last, at about
II o'clock, an accident occurred in the
"No. 5 - hosting works of the Meadow
Valley Mining Company. We went to
the works to ascertain the particulars,
but the engineer referred US to the Office
of the company, not feeling himself au-
thorized to tell us anything about it. We
then repaired to the office, where we were
informed that the master wheel had
broken and let the cage down the shaft;
that an arm of the reel had broken off
and gone through the roof, and that the
damage was uncomfortable. Many par
ties have asked us about the matter, aud
several who had a good opportunity for
knowing have volunteered information
on the subject We are told that the
loss will exceed $4,000, which is not a
great amount to the company; that the
cage was smashed up and the roof
damaged considerably. No one hurt.
| No reason assigned for the accident.
MORE Coal IN UTAH.-Wm. S. Warren,
of Iron county, Utah, has placed in our
possession specimen of coal from a
newly discovered vein about 100 miles
from Phoebe. These coal deposits were
found about 21a miles from Summit,
on the Salt Lake and st. George tele-
graph road. Groupings have been traced
for mile and a half, and the ledge is
Az feet wide in one place and 10 feet in
another. The vein extends from the
side of the hill to the bed OF the creek.
The coal deposits are evidently immense
in extent, and being within 2llaa miles of
a good wagon road, they will at once be-
come a source of wealth. The mines
have not been worked to any great ex.
tent, but their development will be
pushed ahead with vigor. They were
discovered by Thomas VIM, who, with
other parties, is now at work there.
New TINE TABLE.-We are informed
by Mr.. Lawler, agent for Pritchard's fast
freight line, that new time table goes

time the Office will have been removed

The teams on the fast line will make the
