A MINING SETTLEMENT WIPED oUT-buuDnSos
CRUSHED or SWIFT AWAY, AND MANY LIVES
LOST.
Immense quantities Of snow have fallen
since Christmas about the heads of the Little
and Big Cottonwood rivers, in the Wasatch
mountains. The mountains surrounding the
mining town of Alta are steep and high, and
the trees have been cut of The tramway
sheds of the Wasatch 4 Jordan Valley rail
road have been swept away in many places
for five miles below Alta, rendering inRress
or egress almost impossible. Two weeks ago
a snow-slide carried away a man named Oar
by. The storm increased last week, and on
Wednesday an avalanche carried away the
Flagstaff ore-house and 400 feet Of the rail-
road sheds, and swept across the fat and the
creek to the opposite mountain. Later on
another slide passed over the Victoria and
Imperial Houses, burying two men, who dug
their way out in ten hours Continuing it
swept away the Grizzly boarding house, in
which several persons were killed Another
slide smashed the Toledo works and boarding
house, killing two men. On Friday night an
other slide occurred, which would have de-
molished the whole village of Alta had it not
split apart and part of it been diverted 1t
struck large, heavily built stone store, in
which five men had gathered for safety. Two
of them, who were sleeping in the second
story, were thrown out comparatively unhurt
The others had taken refuge in the basement,
and had built FIRE. The house was crushed
in on them, and took fire from the stove and
they persisted. One of the mining compa-
MES has lost all its buildings valued at $50,
600. Nearly everybody has left the place
The trip down was fearful. Leaving their
homes with nothing but the clothes on their
backs, the women wallowed through the snow
as best they could, the men carrying the chill
dren.
There remains enough of the mountain
slope still undenuded to complete the destruc-
ton Of the town, and it may slide at any mo-
ment. While there is no loss Of life as yet
reported from the Big Cottonwood, the miners
are leaving the canon as fast as possible
When the snow becomes deep and heavy on
the steep mountain slopes, an avalanche may
be started by party wading across their face
or by conclusion. Sometimes a blast far
under ground will do it.

United states Circuit and District
Enmwaa

An adjourned term began at Rutland on
Tuesday. The case Of Silas NJ. Waite was
put over to the February term at Burlington
on the certificate of DR.. Howard Of Fayette-
vile, that Waite was not in fit condition to APP
pear for trial The cases heard were for VIC
lations of the internal revenue laws The on
ly one of local interest was that of two Jamaica
"moonshiners," Riley L. Davidson and Frank
Haywood, whom the Herald reporter de-
scribes as being good deal like Davy Crock
etts famous coon-they generally come
down without putting the government to the
trouble Of shooting. II was expected that
Davidson would appear in court on Wednes-
day and plead guilty, but he concluded he
would not, and 'lit out, much TO the disgust
of his bondsmen. The case was continued.
The case U. S. VS.. Frank Haywood was
Holle pressed, it appearing that he was an en-
ploye of Davidson J. b. Phelps of Rutland
and ]. G.. Martin of Londonderry appeared
for Davidson and Haywood It appears that
the still which was captured from Davidson
in June or July, 1879, by government officers
had been for period of Is years used by res
idents of Jamaica, Stratton and wardsboro,
for working up their surplus cider into apple
jack, and the number of persons involved
makes the case an interesting one
A curious case which was disposed of at
this adjourned term was one which has stood
at the head of the district court docket for
many years, entitled ''The United States vs.
One Hundred Sap Buckets" Many an out
slider has guessed at the meaning of the suit
and has been unable to obtain a particle of
light. 1t seems that about eleven years ago
the United States custom house authorities
caught an unlucky wight smuggling a lot Of
sap buckets in an old sleigh drawn by one
horse They seized the property and this
case was the result. The government
has at last realized about one hundred and
fifty dollars from the property, and the court
on Wednesday ordered distribution of the
proceeds under the old moiety law, which
gave certain shares to the collector, the in
spector who made the seizure, the clerk, the
district attorney, and perhaps other officials
who had no more to do with the affair than
the man in the moon. The difficulty now is
to find out the proportion of the plumber to
which each official is entitled. The court ad-
journed on Wednesday.

In connection with the demand of the ter
ritory of Dakota for admission to the Union,
the pamphlet issued by the winona Il st.
Paul railroad company advertising its land
grant lands in that territory is of interest as
giving glimpses of a section of country which
is making remarkable growth in population
and prosperity. One of the favored counties
of the territory seems to be that Of Deuel., in
which there has been a sale OF $4,000 acres
of railroad lands in the past two years.
Gary, its county seat, has only had an exist
ence for some four or five years, yet it now
has thriving and prosperous population,
with court house, church organizations, grad
ed school buildings and civic interests of all
sorts. A copy of the Inter State, a newspa-
per published at Gary, and now in its third
year, shows its editor, Mr.. Fred j. Bowman,
to have the true journalistic instinct. The
paper displays a commendable degree of Wig
or and ability in all its departments, and it is
pleasant to see that the business men of
Gary appreciate their privileges and show
their enterprise by a free use of the columns
of their local paper for their announcements,
which assume a variety excelled. by few of
our Eastern TO Rns.

The CALIsTA MININo COMPANY We have
for some time had awaiting our favorable no.
tice the pamphlet announcement of the Calls
ia Mining Company, a regularly
concern under the laws of New York, of
which Mr.. L. P. Stone of Philadelphia, an
enterprising and capable windham county
boy, is the secretary and treasurer. This
company owns the Democrat silver mine, sit
uated in Pinal county, Arizona, in close prox-
unity to the famous Stonewall Jackson, Little
Mac and Hannibal mines. The ore from the
Democrat assays from $500 to $1,000 per ton,
showing the mine to be equal in value and
richness to any of its neighbors. The mine
is very fortunate in its location, with an un-
exceptionable CLIMATE and ample facilities for
fuel, water and transportation. The pros
poets of the company are evidently of the
most Aattering character. Its shares, we be-
lieve, are placed at So each.

most complete newspaper directories which
We have yet seen, is that issued by N. W.

of more than 600 broad pages, and contains
carefully prepared list of all newspapers
and periodicals in the United States and Can
ada, arranged by states in geographical sec
tions, and by towns in alphabetical order,
with the population of each place and of the
county in which it is situated. 1t is, we be-
lieve, the first publication to give populations
from the census of 1880. 1t gives a list of
all newspapers which insert advertisements,
arranged in states and by counties, with sep
arate lists of all religious and agricultural
publications, and of many class publications
which insert advertisements. By an appen-
dix the information is brought down to the
latest moment. 1t is in every way a credita-
