IioLi mar region report the existence of
an ancient Indian village at Paragoonah,
Utah, distant about 200 miles from here.
The houses, now covered with trees and
brush, We're arranged in uniform rows,
anu were about SX9 feet. They were all
two.story, built of adobe, the lower one
neatly paved and the upper Que support
ed by pillars of sandstone rock. Toe
only entrance discoverabla was q sort of
mani hole in the top. Bone needles.
rude appliances for grinding corn and
other reics We're found IN several Of the
houses. There is tradition among the
Indians of that region that long years
ago the tribe that inhabited those houses
were almost exterminated in a fierce fight
with the Navajoes that the remainder of
the tribe fled to the other side of the
Colorado and there built them habita-
tons III the mountains where the Nava-
joes could not reach them and now live
there secluded. Our informant says the
structure and arrangement of the houses
give evidence of a rude system of civil.
cation on the part of the builders that
no longer exists among the aboriginals
now living in that section.
LAST Sunday We paid visit to some
of the mines north and west of town.
The Chisholm mine has the ledge where
it crops out stripped for distance of
$50 feet, with a good ore vein the entire
distance. A large quantity of smelling
ore is piled on the dump and plenty
more in sight. Mr.. Chisholm says be
will sink on the ledge this Fall. 1t dips
into the mountain at an angle OF thirty
| degrees and presents very favorable in
dicatiou. James Clinton and three other
parties have a good prospect on the same
ledge a few hundred feet south and west
of the Chrishom. They are at present
taking out five tons per week of $3.50 ore
but expect to do much better before long.
Still further down the canyon there are
two other parties engaged in developing
the ledge, which is continuous and crops
out for nearly 800 yards along the south
side of the mountains.

The slowness of the forwarding COM
panies occasions at present serious in
convenience to many of our business
men. One gentleman informs US that
goods shipped to him from Chicago on
the 18th of September, did not reach
York, Utah, till the 18th of this month,
and he is yet without them. Goods
shipped from San Francisco via. Pail.
SADIE on the Sd inst, are still somewhere
on the road.

ming of wisdom. The malicious persons
who are tearing down the posters around
town have evidently neither the fear OF
God or man in their hearts. 1t would BIZ
better for them to go slow, for if caught
at it the subsequent proceedings nigh
be more interesting than satisfactory.
