Editors Herald:
A setieso OF articles On Msryavale are
being published in that great mining
exponent and repository of uublush
ing falsehocd, the Salt Lake Tribune,
in which, as matter Of course, the
Tribune Tyre gets slightly "of " in

which the miners of Marysvale were

idea OF divine iustice ever found even
a transient abode in bis luminous
mind, though he is likely 10 have a
warm demonstration OF it hereafter.
The facts. Sc well known, are
these: The "Mormons" vera driven {
from all the small settlements on the {
Sewer in 1866. The MaryavaIe mines
were discovered IN 1863. The low
grade character Of the ere then IN
covered, and defiance from supplies,
forced nearly all the miners to leave r
for more favorable localities. a few !
remained heEe, and have been in 4.

land from which the Mormons we're +
driven by the restless red men. And
to illustrate Tia ibeTality and kindly !
feelings which have existed on the
part OF the Mormon" minority
toward the lev so-cal!cd ''outsiders,"
I Will mca3ian the fact that
