Utah Items.

The McHenry Mine, in Pharley's
Canon, has stopped work, having
at present 800 to 1000 tons of ore on
hand.
George q. Cannon is not yet arrest
ed. and it is not positively known, out
side of the officers of the Court and
Grand Jury, that an Indictment has
been found against him.
No decision is yet given in the Anna
Eliza alimony case. Brigham Young's
health is reported to be very poor, and
his life is believed to be of short dura-
tion.
The monte men who have been for
so long time playing their calling
along the Central Pacific Railroad ARE
reported as leaving that field on ac-
count of efforts of that company for
their arrest and punishment.
The Territorial Attorney General
returned from Bountiful last evening,
where he has been conducting an in
vestigatiOn in the case of the murder
of Mrs. Adams. Her husband was ar
rested ON suspicion of the murder, but
no evidence of his completely in the
crime was proven. The affair Is as
much mystery as before. it
A telegram from Cedar City, says
the iron furnace in that place is in
successful operation, and expects to
make five tons of pig iron per day.
Some of this iron has been shipped to
Provo, the present Southern terminus
of the Utah Southern Railroad. Ar
rangements for the extension of the
railroad southwark are now being
made, Bishop Sharp having gone
East to arrange for funds.

Senator Jones.

Those people who did not believe
Senator JONES the real author of his
great speech on the financial question
are once more called upon to express
their, incredulity. Senator JONES has
produced, another remarkable docu-
ment. His letter to the Secretary of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee of Nevada is as full of axioms,
sensible suggestions, "wise saws and
modern instances" AS his great finan-
cial speech was remarkable for its prac-
tical thought and deep knowledge of
the subject. If Senator JONES pro-
duces one or two more papers of this
character, and succeeds in dispelling
from the minds of a few people the
notion that he is not the author of his
own speeches and letters, he must cer-
tainly be accorded place among the
few leading men of the nation who
bring to the accident of position strong
practical sense, with ability to under
stand and power to direct and control
great issues. Senator JONES is not a
money made man. Money cannot
make the kind of man he is. The
Comstock lode has done much for him,
but nature did more. Money may
have aided him to position, but money
could not make the financial speech
nor write the letter to the Republican
State Central Committee of Nevada.

A New Industry.

The opening of Mr.. GEO. y. DAVIS
Alden Fruit Drying establishment, a
detailed account of which will be
found in our local columns, may be re-
garded as the Inauguration of a new
and valuable industry in Los Angeles
valley. In the manufacture of raj
sins alone, it is believed the Alden
process will work great change in
grape growing business of California.
In this valley the effect will be more
marked than elsewhere, for the reason
that our soil and climate are peculiar
ly adapted to the culture of the finer
quality Of grapes. The business in
which Mr.. DAVIS is the. pioneer will,
In short time become chief indus
try in the Southern California coun-
ties. We venture the prediction that
next year will see several large Alden
Fruit Drying factories in successful
operation in this county. goa b r

A Parallel.

This parallel might be advan-
tageously drawn by the people of Los
Angeles. Up to short time since, for
nearly or quite quarter of a century,
this city and county have. been con-
trolled by the same coterie, ring,
clique or combination. How we'll or
how ill this control has been for the
interests of the masses, depends a good
deal on how one Is accustomed to look
at such things. Let US examine the
municipal management. There has
been an immense sum Of money spent
and there is not great deal to show
for it. Thousands of acres of first-class
land owned by the city was disposed
OF, large revenue was absorbed and
the Indebtedness of the city runup to
over $20O, 900, yet there is not much to
show for it except few wealthy citi-
zens. 1t is not long since city scrip
was scarcely worth the picking up in
the street. Tt took S27, 900 worth of
city paper to pay for a little wooden
sewer, the contract price for which
was less than $4,000. About two years
ago the old manipulators forgot their
cunning and lost their hold on the city
management. The result is that for
more than year the city has not is
sued dollars worth of scrip; she has
paid cash for everything, and she has
several thousand dollars in her Treas
ury. rhe difference betweenthe reign
of the old masters and the manage
ment of the present regime seems
TO be about this: Neither has done
anything in the way of improving the
city. The old masters spent the reve-
nue., sold the .city's land, disposed of
the proceeds and ran the city SO in
debt that her scrip was worth next to
nothing on the dollar; but they left
little to show for it, except the
stubs of the scrip-books, and even some
OF these were stolen. The new regime
have issued no scrip; they have paid
the current expenses in cash, and have
money on hand. The old masters are
making a powerful effort to regain
control of the city government, and

the construction of the Stockton and

WE hear that gentlemen charge MIR.
BEAUDRy with having furnished the
information on which was written the
article i'm Sunday mornings HERALD
relative to the Water Company's res

DRY never spoke to the editor of the
HERALD in reference to the matter

then only to say that there must be
some Observation-Disclosures the ditch

than this, and in justice TO all con-

plies the woolen mills with water. and

they will succeed. The majority of
the present city officials are not up
with the times, and their places should
be filled with wide-awake, progressive
men, but the taxpayers should be
watchful or they will once more fall
into the hands of the old masters, and
then we shall have heavy debts and
plenty of scrip, but nothing TO show
