LEEDS ITEMS.

ing Items IN regard 10 HARRISBURG Mill
ing District, Utah: Times in this vicinity
seem to be on the improve. Several
mines have been incorporated, and they
are prosecuting the work very vigorously.
There has also been n new town located;
it is near the Tocqverville Silver Min
ing Company's mine. Lots are selling
very high and buildings going up rapidly.
A company from Salt Lake City have
started to build a twenty. stamp mill
within Thousand feet of the new town.
Everything looks prosperous for its fut-
IRE existence, and in very short time
it will riva! any of the numerous towns
in the District. The Tocquerville, of
which Jno. r. James Superintendent,
has large force OF men employed and
are extracting considerable ore, which
assays very high. The Superintendent
calculates that in 60 days the vein will
be cut in their deep tunnel, which will
give sufficient ore to run the mill for on
indefinite length of time.
The Harrisburg mine has also large
force of men employed and are pros
pecting their ground with great vigor.
This Company has 600 feet of ground
and are sinking three different shafts,
showing large bodies of ore in each of
them. The average assay yesterday was
$9O.0S.
Two miners had quarrel on Sunday
last, which resulted in one of them,
named Mickey Free, being cut by the
other, named Hoag, man from Mon
tana. The blade of the knife entered be-
tween the shoulders to the depth of 81
inches. 1t is thought the wound is fatal.
FnE.-An alarm of fire was sounded
on Wednesday last about ~ o'clock.
I was found to proceed from a Chinese
laundry on Nam street, near Panaca
Flat, formerly occupied by Hop Sing,
but latterly by lot of Indians. The
Hose Companies and Hook and Ladder
were promptly on the ground. and Phoebe
Hoss Company had Just attached their
hose apd turned on the water when the
nozzle came out from the plug, thus
rendering it useless as far as the hose
was concerned. Buckets, however, were
procured, filled with water, and with
their aid and chopping down tho rear
portion of the house the fire was ex-
tineuished. How the fire occurred is
not known, but as Billy Goodman was
expected in town that day, it was thought
that the Indians wished to give him a
show to do some hard work when he ar.
rived.
STEALING PAPERs.-We have constant
complaints from subscribers every issue
of the RECORD Of their papers being
stolen, sometimes from restaurants and
other times from stores. II is very disa.
greeable to have the RECORD disappear

times blamed for not leaving the paper,
but as he is very particular, we can at
tribute the losses only to the papers be-
ing "nipped" by some persons who are
anxious to read the news without paying
for it. To all such we say. leave the
subscribers paper alone. and if you wist
copy very much and have not tn,
wherewith to pay for it. we will gladl,
give copies to prevent the continuance O.
the nuisance.
