AS you have no doubt learned
through other sources, the terminus
of the Utah and Northern Railway
was removed to this place on thu
18th inst, the first passenger traiI
arriving here on the evening of that
day. A passenger train to Ogden
leaves here at 6 am. each day, anC
another arrives every evening at
9.15 for the present, but it is sup.
supposed that new time card will
be issued ere long, by which the
speed Of trains will be increased.
Stages connect here with trains,
and but little delay is experienced
by travellers. Gilmer & Salisbury
run a line from this place to Butte,
OF four-horSe coaches, and also a
Jerky to Glendale, and in addition
there are several fast freight and
passenger outfits leaving and arriv-
ing daily.
A large amount of freight is az
irving here now from the south, and
sent hence by teams to different
points, and considerable ore, metal
and bullion arrives by teams from
northern points, and is shipped by
rail south.
The Hecla Consolidated Mining
Company, of Glendale, has just COM
menced the shipment of bullion to
Newark, n, j., the first for some
weeks. This company now has two
furnaces running constantly and
turning out vast amount of bull
lion, and the prospect is favorable
for healthy dividends to it's stock
holders, from which I infer that
possibly the French company lost
an opportunity to make a good in
vestment last year, when it declined

would be as well to contradict the

others may not be misled. From

led to believe that no more laborers
are needed there at present, and in
deed the same may be said of all
other camps with which [ am ac-
quainted.
We are having a series OF
showers of rain for some days past,
much to the satisfaction of all per-
sons, except, perhaps, the owners of
heavy freight teams, who have to
drag their loads through the mud.
AS my mission will soon be full
filled, [ presume my stay here will
be short, and that | will "move on
ere many days, and will, in my
travels, take in Butte and Helena,
the two most prominent cities in
Montana, and should any items fall
under my notice which | may deem
of interest to your readers, you may
hear from me occasionally.
I see from Salt Lake papers that
your patriotic people are going to
celebrate the glorious Fourth IN
great style. Of course there are too
many people there for all to unite in
one celebration, but it occurs to me
to remark that much bad taste is eX-
hi5ited, possibly on both sides. Why
cannot the citizens of Salt Lake
unite in celebrating that day Of days
in a patriotic manner, laying aside,
for one day at least, that accursed
spirit Of sect which has cost the
world so much and is likely still to
be expensive.
a Mormon" celebration and an
American" celebration are the es-
sence of humbug. No true Ameri-
can patriot will attempt to Ostracise
another American on account of
color, age, sex or previous condition,
on the Fourth of July.
How is it that troops from Fort
Douglas can march in procession, a
privilege denied civilians and mill
tia?
Is this a nation, or a free repub-
lie? II. D. j.
