The Boy of Utah.

Jimmie Mason, resident an farm
near South Cottonwood, came to Salt
Lake week ago. Jim dosen't come to
town very often. SO when he was here
he struck good many Of the boys, went
through the saloons, shooting galleries,
and generally took in the sights" He
went home yesterday and was met at
the front door by his dad.
Hello, James, my boy, so you're
home at last ?"
"Well, | should smile" said Jimmie,
titng off big chew of nasty weed.
What kind of a time did you have ?"
said his father eyeing him.
Had a boss time. Made two mashes;
got left on one, just in time to collar the
last one; she was kind Of clumsy and
toot."
MY goodness YOU don't say so,' said
the old man, looking toward big apple
tree.
'Ies I SLING more tafiy than you can
get on stick. Why, you dizzy old
wretch, she's plump gone on me-
"You surprise me-" said Jimme's
father. "And what else did you do?"
"Gave 'em two balls and rolled out on
scratchcrs; went broke on two kings and
an ace tillibustered on thr dark horse
swung the clubs; diced for the brew,
anu stood OH the hotel bill. DO YOU
tumble ."
Tumble? Oh, yes. I'm a tumbler?''
"Well, | took in the show-paralyzed
the girls, you know kind of struck 'em
dumb, then was going to shove some of
the queer, but quailed."
Did You put rosin on your back be-
fore you come home" Inquired the Old
man as he broke big branch off tree
and carelcssly trimmed il.
"Ah, cheese it, You arc giving me
tafy. Rosin on my back Amt you
getting kind of fresh! Go and sit on
ice"
This was enough. James Mason.

The New York Engineering and Min
ing Journal, of December OH, reports
the amount Of bullion shipped from the
mines during the year 1882. We find
that from the strictly gold producing
mines in the United States, there has
been shipped during the year 81 ,350, PIG.
OF this amonnt, four mines in the Black
Hills, viz; liomestakc, Deadwood-Terra
Father De Smct and Caledonia, prodnc-
cd S2.n90,39!, and fourteen other cx
cIuhively gold producing mines in Cali
fornia, Nevada, Montana, Colorado, Ari-
zona, Utah, Nova Scotia and Idaho, have
produced bat S2,219, $50, or bat $3.50. 600
more than has been produced by four
mines in the Black Hills. The amount
taken from other mines in Oak ota not
reported will more than make M this
This report covers only gold
producing mines, and not mines of gold
and silver both. In a few years, when
our mines are properly developed, we
will become not only the greatest gold
producing state, but We will ship more
bullion than all other states combined.

A Washington special says that a
prominent Dakotan states that the real
object Of the visiting delegation from
that territory is not so much to secure
admission as u state as to arrange for the
passage Of bill whereby the territory
Of Dakota or the government will as
sumo the Tankton county railroad debt.
These bonds, it is said, have been pur-
chased for an almost nominal figure by
private individuals. Ii is thought that
when this becomes knwon to the com.
mittec on territories the Dakota bond
problem will be at once rejected, or the
whole matter re opened by an investiga-
tion. Another dispatch from the same
source throws little more light upon
what by many has been considered
suspicious proceedings rs follows: The
suasm of virtue which has convulsed
question the propriety of the proposed
legislation in the interest of the people
Of Yankton county, Oak. 1t is state |
that a syndicate has been formed in
Dakota who are purchasing the old
bonds at IS and 50 cents on the dollar
and that a proposition has been made
through member of the Eankton coun-
ty committee here to Hon. T. {. Reed,
Of Maine, who opposed the proposed
legislation and the bill for the admission
of Dakota until payment OF these bonds
is guaranteed, that if he will vote for
both bills they will purchase all the
bonds held in Maine at 80 cents on the
dollar. 1t is said to be part of the
scheme after the enabling act has been
passed TO secure the passage of an
granting sufficient quanti-
ty of land in Dakota to secure the bond
holders

The Pierre Journal Of the 22nd con.
tans the following in regard to the
Sioux commission: "They won the day.
and secured full treaty with the four
tribes there-the Minneconjous, Sans
Arcs, Blackfeet and Two Kettles.
Everything was settled in the friendliest
manner, and at the final grand council
held on Tuesday afternoon the Indians
all signed the agreement and accepted
the proposition Of the commissioners.
The boundaries Of their new reserva-
ton are the Missouri river on the east,
the 102d meridian on the west, the
Grand river on the north and the Chey-
enne river on the south. This will
open to settlement all that vast region
lying across the river directly opposite
Pierre, and at last opens pathway from
here to the Black Hills OF course con-

it and pass the necessary laws, before

the date Of the transfer of the Indians,
which will doubtless be early in the

Crushing Dakota.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Nonc Of the
Dakota bills will be called mp before the
holidays, The delay is caused by some
difficulty in arriving at an agreement az
to the amount Of interest to be drawn
by the new bonds which it is proposed
TO issue in place of those repudiated by
Tankton county. 1t is believed that a
compromise will be effected by which a
4 per cent bond will be reported. Sen
ator Vest is preparing a speech in which
he will show some very damaging
things against the territory of DaLo ota
He will show that for seven years it had
a statute which made it unlawful to
levy upon property within the territory
to satisfy Il debt contracted outside the
territory, which virtually made Dakota
an asylum for all the bsnkrupts, debtors
and swinders who desire to seek refuge
within her borders. This they subse-
quently modified, but the law is now on
" shade better than the original
statute. Their statutes also allow the
debtor l60 acres with any buildings he
may see fit to erect upon it with 81 600
worth Of personal property.
The senator will show also that the
statutes absolutely forbid the maintain
ance Of a debt against a county through
laws made sklllfully supplemental to
each other The variety of uses tc
which their elastic kind ofcounty gov.
ernment can be put, Senator Vest will
show, is without limit, and is available
for almost any kind of rascality in land
Altogether he will produce a RECORD
whica will be very damaging to the ter
ritory, and which will trouble some O.
its conscientious trends who desire (,
vote for the admission Of the state, bu
who will demand that if such evils exis
in the statute books they must be cor
rected before the plenary powers of self
government are submitted for fedora
supervision. The friends of the terri
tory are disposed TO press for admission
and division in the same bill, which
Senator Saunders will try to bring for
ward af;er the settlement VI the Yank
ton bond question

Especial Telegram to tho Globe.


CHICAGO, Dec. M-The new Northwest
ern traffic agreement was dicussed at yes
terday's meeting, but nothing was done
beyond agreeing upon some minor details
for carrying out the agreement. The gen
eral passenger agents will meet again on
Wednesday at Commissioners Dixon's Office
to make final arrangements.
In regard to the scheme to abolish the
custom of giving free passes to shippers
and merchants, it was stated
that some of the Western
lines are greatly opposed to the new id ca.
The Illinois Central officials say that they
do not propose to become parties to such
an agreement, no matter what the other
roads might do. It is not therefore posi-
BILE that uniform arrangement can be
made, and the only remedy will be for the
various pools and combinations to act
upon the matter separately.
Mr.. j. T. Sanford, for many years
freight traffic manager of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, has re-
signed his position on account of
continued ill health. The managers
of the Rock Island greatly regret the step
Mr.. Sanford has been compelled to take.

Some of his neighbors claim that he is
an innocent, harmless boy, while others as
sert that he is wild and vicious. Ed Can
nary acknowledges having struck Hurley
with his fist. From the fact that the cor
oner instructed the prisoner to refuse to be
interviewed, it is surmised that he (the
coroner) is of the opinion that the boy was
not in the wrong, and don't wish to have
his case weakened by a confession.

THE REFORM CLUB.

al Christmas Talk" by Chaplain SatferIee
The Reform club held their Christmas
celebration in their hall yesterday after
noon. The music by the choir was well
selected and artisticly rendered.
The Christmas sermon was delivered by
the chaplain, Rev. w. w. Satterlee, who,
commencing with the birth of Christ, fol-
lowed the life of the Savior, commenting
on his antagonistic reception, growth in
power, and final triumph. Mr.. Satterlee
then continued: Chow did Jesus do this ?
How did he accomplish this great work
of reform? His scripture tells as
that whom he was reviled he reviled not
again. When we go into this work of
moral reform, we must expect many hard
blows, and we must meet and overcome
them, and do it unselfshly. The greatest
conquest that any man can ever win is the
conquest of himself. And now as we re-
joice in the birth of Jesus Christ.
let US resolve that we will
strive to become more and more like this
hoy man."
At the conclusion of Mr.. Satterlee's ad-
dress Coronation was sung by the con-
gregation, after which President Williams
made few seasonable remarks touching
on the life of Christ and his care for the
world to-day. After more music by the
choir the meeting dispersed.
