Territory. The journey has occupied two
years. The trail from Washington Terri.
tory to the Missouri river is said to be the
longest and hardest known to stockmen.
Ogden Pilot: The police Of Salt Lake
raided few houses Of prostitution last Sat.
u,day and arrested twenty five inmates.
II they should arrest all engaged in that
business in that city there would be great
wailing among the saints, who would
mourn trouble in their harems.
The Carson Index: 1t may not be gen.
orally known, but cotton is successfully
cultivated in the Southern part Of Nevada.
The raw material is sent to st. George,
Utah, where there is factory. The valley
Of the Muddy River Is well adapted to
growing cotton. On the Virgin river, a
tributary of the Muddy, it docs we'll. All
the cotton fabrics worn by settlers on the
Virgin river are woven BY the St. George
mill, from cotton raised by the farmers
themselves.
S. L. Tribune: The lead mine, owned
by Geo. She'll & Co., Of Bingham, is at
tracing considerable attention amongst
the mining community, on account Of the
large amount Of ore daily shipped. The
main shaft is down 500 feet. Five levels
are run, all in ore. AS to the extent Of the
ore body 1t cannot be ascertained. Drifts
have been run 900 cross cut feet on the
vein, and no walls found. Great difficulty
Is experienced in getting teams to haul the
ore, which is shipped to Sandy. Taking
the mine on an average sample 1t will car.
~ ten ounces silver, from twenty. five to
sixty per cent. lead and S. gold. A force
of about twenty men are employed taking
out ore, and the mine bids fail toesank A l
in Bingham.
s. F. Chronicle: The Amador hermit,
living near the little village Of Jackson
Gate, died fortnight ago. The secret of
this strange recluse was partially divulged
when sickness compelled him to ask the
care Of his neighbors. Little is known Of
his early life and still less of the reasons
which led him to live alone. Al the ar.
rival Of the earliest settlers of Jackson,
thirty.two years ago, the hermit inhabited
the same cabin wherein he recently died,
and was pursuing the same course Of life
that he ever aferward followed. About
four years ago he became SO feeble that he
could not prepare his own food, and, for
the first time allowed any Of his neighbors
to enter his hall: down hut. It
was assertained by T. a. Chichizola that
the hermit had savings in San Francisco
bank and two boxes Of money concealed in
the chimney corner. But Of his life moth.
Ing further could be found out than that
his name was James G. Farrar and that he
was born In Massachusetts in 1896. He
always dressed himself in an antique fash.
ION and lived In the most frugal manner.
Shortly before his death he made known
the whereabouts Of his treasures and willcd
them all to the family If Mr.. Chichizola
| It is reported that he was worth $1,000 or
$4,000. The Public Administrator, It is
said, will contest the validity Of the will.
S. L: Tribune: There came to the Trib.
une office yesterday thinly clad old lady,
bowed with great grief. Being seated she
related her sad story while tears coursed
down her pale and haggard cheeks:

land to Utah, bringing with me seven clild-

the hattering promises of Zion and the
false stories Of the Elders led me to believe
that all was peace and plenty here. Lies
