RAILROAD.-DlshOp WOODS, OF clover
Valley, who recently returned from
trip to Provo, Utah, was in town Satur.
day, and states that while at Provo he
met Bishop Sharp, who told him that the
Denver & Rio Grande Company intended
to change their gauge from the narrow to
the standard gauge, and that it was the
intention OF the company to build their
line of road down through Desert Sta.
ton and run into Dry Valley. After
reaching Dry Valley, it was not positively
known whether the road would run
down by Panacl, thence on through Ben.
nett Springs pass, on to California, or
else up the valley by Phoebe, crossing
the range of mountains through the Bris.
tol Gap. He thought that as the grade
through the Bristol Gap was the best,
that it would be likely to take that route.
Also that if the winter was mild one,
the company would commence work i'm.
mediately; but if not, then work would
be coamenced as early in the spring as
possible. As this comes direct from old
Bishop Sharp, one of the most prominent
men in Utah Territory, we place much
confidence in the statement, and hope
the Denver & Rio Grande will hurry up
and extend their line in this direction.
GRAND SUNSETS. Fer the last week
our citizens have been treated to COR
geous sunsets of surprising beauty.
Shortly after sunset, say from after six
o'clock, the heavens to the westward are
brilliantly illuminated by flaming red,
occasoned by the setting of the sun, we
suppose. But this grand illumination
was not confined to the evening alone,
for early in the mornings, just before the
sun rose, and while it was yet quite dark,
the same beautiful spectacle could be
seen in thei eastern heavens, and right
in the midst of this bright scarlet flame,
the new moon is sinking to rest, and is
OF bright golden yellow The sight is
indeed grand and is we'll worth the trou-
BILE of arising early in the morning and
looking at You who are too lazy to
arise early Of mornings to behold this
grand heavenly scene, place your beds SO
you can see it without getting up, as we
have done.
GEO. w. GRAYsoy arrived in Bristol
Saturday afternoon and Immediately
went over to Royal City. While in this
vicinity he visited all the property owned
by the Day Company, and appeared to
ticularly the Mendha mine at Highland,
which he said work should have never
been stopped OH, and also that the Day
mine at Royal City had good showing.
That those who had formerly been in
charge of the mine had drifted in every
direction but the right one to find ore.
He left Phoebe Wednesday morning, by
private conveyance, for the terminus at
Milford, Utah.
Tbs Attorney. G eneral writes to County
School Superintendent of Public Schools,
G. R. Alexander, that an alien, who has
declared his intention of becoming cit.
izsn of the country, and has taken out
his first papers, in his opinion, Is entitled
to his salary when he fills the position Of
teacher of public school. This settles
the question which has been troubling
Pioche for few weeks, and the teacher
of the Grammar School will get his salary,
which he certainly earns.

THE Christy Company, of Silver Reef
