Miners Liens.

AS caution to miners in future,
we call attention to crying evil by
which many laborers in Utah have
been defrauded of their wages with
out remedy, as follows: Some ad.
venturers get a bond or agreement
for the sale of mine-say the
"Blunder''-on conditions, 60 into
possession of it, hire laborers and
transact their business under the
style of the "Blunder Mining Co."
run in debt, and then run away.
When too late, the swindled labor
ers find out that the owners of the
mine have nothing to do with the
debt.
The Act of February 16, 1872, ex-
tends the provisions of the Mechan-
ics' Lien law to cases where " any
person or persons who shall perform
any work or labor upon any mine,
or furnish any materials, therefor, in
pursuance OF any contract made
with the oWner or opners OF such
mine, or of any interest therein,
shall be entitled to a miners lien
for the payment therefor upon all
the interest, right and property in
such mine by the person or persons
contracting for such labor or mater.
ial, at the time of making such con-
tract"
In the numerous cases of swindles,
the owners of the mine are not
bound and their interests are not
bound for labor, because they are
not contracting parties. The only
means of preventing these wrongs
lie with the laborers, who should as
certain, first, who are the persons
with whom they contract to labor;
second, what interest do such per-
sons own in the mine on which they
are to labor.-,S. L. Tribune.

Our Fair.

The Winfield Independent says
"Thc Mason county fair was a success
as usual. On account of the incle-
mency of the weather there were in
some few of the departments, such as
fruit and vegetables, slim showing,
but in every other department the
showing was excellent, and the cattle
department possessed extraordinary
merit. The showing of horses was
large and fine. In that department
we were shown colt, dam Ida 0sa,
sire Longfellow which bids fair to
make very feet animal. The floral
hall had very nice display of fine
art, in the way Of needle work, ladies
wear, pictures, musical instruments,
flowers, in fact everything which it
is the province Of ladies to delight
in. The last day being so unfavora-
bic the attendance was not so large
as would have been otherwise. How
ever, a large crowd gathered to hear
the speech of Hon. Charles Faulkner,
Of Berkeley county, member of Con-
gress. He treated Of Indian affairs
and wound up with description Of
the farming of West Virginia farmer.

DeEeafeh.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
North Carolina has a Republican
Governor, but the Lieutenant Cover
nor is a Democrat. The Governor iu-
tended to go to Boston to participate
in the Bunker Hill festivities And
the Democrats Of that intensely hon
orable State projected nice little
scheme to be played while the Cover
nor was absent. The present Judge
of the Supreme Court appears to be a
Democrat, but does not appear to suit
his party very well. Some of
the managing politicians of the
Judges political faith secured
mis- resignation to be presented
to the Lieutenant Governor AS soon as
his chief left the State and the duties
of acting Governor fell upon him
Then some other important offices were
to be vacated by their incumbeuts and
successors, in favor of some of :he
schemes, the accomplishment of which
the Governor has steadily obstructed,
were to be appointed by the Democrat
ic acting Governor. TO prevent the
success of this nice little scheme Gov.
Brogden has been forced to remain
away from Boston, and so fail to APP
pear at the Centennial, to which he bad
been invited and had announced his
intention of attending. This
scheme of the tar-heeI Democrats
bears q close resemblance to a plot for
stealing the Sunday dinner of man
who is going to church. But then, as
It was t. be done by chivalrous sons
of Carolina, we suppose it might be all
right. Only we have been educated in
different school, and SO we are una
able to appreciate that fine sense of
honor for which our Southern breth-
remand particularly our Carolina
brethren-are so justly celebrated.
We clip the above from the columns
of the Washington Repu6Hcan, the
filthy sewer for all articles abusive and
sianderous of North Carolina. The
Harrisburg Itlcgralh may publish
this nonsense in ignorance of its TN
truthfulness, but the ReluJZica3l
knows better and does it with a mali
cious qualification. AS the editor of
the Republican has lately been an
honored(O guest of one of the Judge
of the Supreme Court, he knows his po-
litical status very well.
