We learn from letter, written July 18Th,
that crops on the Muddy are good: have
had there unprecedented cool weather up
to the last week. which was most intoler-
ably hot and snffocating. owing to the con-
tinuous c~loudiness of the sky. At st.
Thomas the grasshoppers are destroying
the hay crops and running the vineyards,
whereas at st. Joseph none has been seen
and Bob Logan will have a fine grape crop.
The peach crop is scarcely average, but the
fig trees are yielding abundantly. The
a~pricots were all killed by the frost. Every
one has escaped the chills this year. A
saw mill is here in the valley awaiting the
close of the Blu y season, when it will be
| erected.
o. d. Gass informs us that the crops at
his ranch this season we're never before in
a better condition, everything is growing
and ripening rapidly. with the exception If
the peaches. The Philadelphia Company
at Ell Dorado Canyon have paid up all the
outstanding Indebtedness at the Canyon,
have taken down the new mill built by
Knox and are putting up a new l5-stamp
mill, intending TO prosecute vigorous work.
The mines are showing up well, the ore
averaging over 500 per ton.

Frisco, Utah. and the terminus. taking

disagreement between the heads of the

delightful showers Monday evening and
