COUNTY FINANcEs.-In anoth-
err column will be found the
financial statement of the coun-
ty commissioners showing the
present financial condition of
the county. In one respect it
is highly satisfactory, inasmuch
as it shows the county's assets
to be SI2,S39 81 in excess of its
liabilities. But it is unsatisfac-
tory in not showing the receipts
and expenditures for the past
year. 1t would probably be
much more satisfactory to the
tax payers, to have a more de-
tailed statement, showing how
much money has been collec-
ted by the county and how
expended, what has been paid
for expenses OF the district
court, the county court, the Jail,
the poor farm and for roads
and bridges, also to the pay
ment of prior indebtedness.
Such an itemized statement
could be condensed within rea-
sonable limits. A statement of
the operation of the free schools
in the county would also be an
acceptable document.

MEDALS.
Two Magnificent Pieces of EngraV-
ing.

On Monday the regular bi-monthly
shooting match of the Salt Lake
Shooting Club takes place, at which
time the contests for a couple of
new and beautiful medals will COM
mence. The medals are the work
of Mr.. E. j. Swaner. of the jewelry
store of Swaner & Co., just below
Jennings s. Sons store, and are
doubtless, as judges state, the finest
pieces of work of the kind ever pro-
duced here. The first is a gold
medal, which has a solid crescent
shaped gold pin bar, on which will
be engTaven the name of the final
winner. To this is attached, by
means of six gold links, the medal
proper, of solid gold and two inches
in diameter, ON the reverse of which
engraven with the dates. The solid
gold bed has been cut out so as TO
leave a heavy rim around the outer
edge of the medal, which is hand
somely chased. Inside of this rim,
however, is the beautiful work. On
ribbon of green gold following the
crescent shape of the medal on top
are engraved the words: salt Lake
Shooting Club" Below this are
couple of shotgunS, which cross
each other, and pending from the
point where they cross, by means of
ribbon, are three pigeons. In this
is seen best the most striking piece
of engraving. The guns are as
natural as possible, being perfectly
shaped Parker double-barreled
shotguns. cocks, triggers per-
feet, even to the spiral twist
ON the barrels. The birds are equally
as natural, the heads, wings and
feathers being wrought out in.
green and red gold. So perfect
and natural is the picture formed in
the medal that one has to wonder
how ON earth it is done. This medal,
as before stated, is made of solid
gold, is a magnificent piece of en-
craving of which any person might
be proud, and it will be a happy day
for the member of the club who
wins, often enough to call it his own,
this gold medal valued at 500.
The second is a silver medal, about
the same size as the other. The bar
pin is of solid silver, crescent
shaped, to which is attached the
medal proper, this being shield
shaped. The engraving on this is a
landscape, with hunter in a forest
and in the act of firing. while eros
sing from the bar pin to the shield
will be two gold shot guns. This is
valued at S25, and is also picture;
and the name of the final owner will
be engraved on it as on the gold one.
Mr.. Swaner deserves TO be- proud
of his workmanship, for both are
genuine beauties, in proof of which
statement the public will have an
opportunity of Judging to-day by
viewing them at his store, below
the Emporium building.

White River Utes

There seems to be some agitation
on the part of settlers near the
White River, in this territory, lest
White River Utes should make a
break. Mr.. Charles Pepper, the big
cattle dealer, referring to this fear,
says he is of the opinion that there
is no cause for uneasiness whatever.
The Indians, he states, have camped
all winter in the vicinity north of
his ranch, and have been perfectly
peaceable, and friendly; and he says
they will remain so, if permitted.
The only danger is that the Indians
may become afraid of white aggres-
sions, in which event it is not I'M
likely they will go upon the warpath.

Wasatch and Jordan Valley.

Mr.. G. NJ. Young, superintendent
of the Wasatch and Jordan Valley
Railroad, stated, on Friday, that it
had not yet been determined when
the road will be opened, which has
been closed ever since the terrific
snow slides in Little Cottonwood
Canyon broke in the shedding. Mr..
Young will probably go up the road
on Sunday next, and look it over.
lie states that probably a mile of
heavy snow shoveling, in places
where slides have crushed in the
shedding, VIII have to be done be-
fore the track is cleared; and as the
snow is packed in almost like ice,
and to great depth, it will be no
trifing matter to remove it. How
ever, when the work of clearing
once begins, it will be prosecuted
with all possible vigor.
