UTAH.

| A very rich strike Of high grade
ore was made in the Horn Silver
Mine during the week, but the alb
sence of Major Hill from camp
makes it impossible for the South
ern Utah Times to give particulars.
Says the Southern Utah Times
There were lively times on the
streets Thursday. Horse-racing and
| foot-racing was the order of the day
John Burke ran his little black
horse against Bob's bay mare. r.
II. came out second best, and in the
foot race he made tie with Charley
LAYER.
The Beaver Enterprise states that
| the surveying party now at Milford,
l. of which Mr.. ShOrtt is the chief,
represents the Texas Pacific branch
of this gigantic combination. He
starts out upon his labors at once,
and that there will be no delay in
the matter may be inferred from
the TACT that the road is to be COM
Ipleted within two years.
The Hieden Treasure is the name
Of new discovery about one and
one half miles southeast of the
Jones Bonanza, which shows up as
well as any prospect in the camp.
A vein of four feet of ore averaging
about $40 clear across has been I'M
covered on the surface. The owners
of this prospect are so well pleased
with Is that they have let contract
for sinking an incline shaft fifty feet
on the vein.
The Jones Bonanza comes to the
front this week with the informa-
ton that on Friday last the vein
was cut on the 800 level, and
measures eight feet in width, the
ore being of a much better quality
than at any other point in the mine.
The superintendent, Mr.. Duignan-
informs US that no better indica,
tions could be had for true assure
vein. Mr.. d. has gone to Salt Lake
to purchase more piping so as to re-
lleve the 400 foot level of the water
it now contains, when drifting on
the vein will be resumed. The vein
in the Bonanza has been cut down
to the 400.-Park City Record.
The Silver Reef Miner SAYS: The
Barbee 81 Walker mill dropped it's
stamps on sand rock this morning
for the first time in four months.
The machinery has been thoroughly
oVerhauled. We anticipate a bic
season of prosperity for this COM
pany.
President Clark, of the Stormont
company, passed through Salt Lake |
the first of the week. After look |
ing at his mining interests in Ne
Vada, he will continue through to |
Arizona to examine mining proper
ty there.
On Sunday last, as several little |
girls were playing on the banks of
Logan River, at a point in the
mouth Of the canyon, two OF them
to cross the stream on
narrow foot bridge, when one of
them, daughter of Mr.. Carl Kepp-
ner, aged years, fell into the water,
and was swiftly borne down the
current. Her companions screamed,
and a boy named Easterholdt who
was some distance away, hearing
their cries, ran to the spot, leaped
into the river and rescued the little
girl, who had f1oated down the
stream from 100 to 200 yards from
where she fell in, and would newt
ably have been drowned had she
not been quickly rescued. The rescue
was heroic act, of which the gal
ant bOysmay we'll be proud as long
Is he lives. He is only IA years old.
