A DRIVE over the country between
Los Angeles and Compton, the other
day, satisfied US that rains even late in
February will insure an excellent crop.
The growing grain Is in such q condi-
ton that very triaing showers help q
great deal Much Of the grain Is eight
inches high; and IL all, however near
the ground, looks thrifty. Except on
the supposition that we are to have
floods, only the early sown grain will
mature crop. but an unprecedented
area has been put In, in season, which
would make wheat and barley and much
that would make hay, with fow good
showers. 1t Is getting perilously late,
but there is still ample time. Even at
the worst we have more than week g
grace, and many hard.bosted debtor
has been saved by the three days which
the commercial law allows him between
the maturity of his note and its pay.

Thus far the Board of Railroad Com
missioners do not seem to be making
very rapid Roadway in adjusting those
great questions of transportation which
played such an overshadowing part in
the San Jose Convention. Tho Presi-
dent Of the Board pleads for time, while
MIR. Foote retorts that he has had ample
time to look into the matter from all
points of view-that he has studied the
problem for the last six months. The
other members of the Board seem to re.
gard Mr.. Foote as precipitate, and are
disposed to accord the railway company
the fullest latitude for argument and
compilation of figures. So that the
vexed questions are happily settled at
last the people can very well afford
to eondone a little delay. There are
not wanting those of sceptical turn,
though, who think they see indications
that the Monsieur Tonson OF the old
board VIII again put In his appearance,
and that his study as to railway matters
will be again, as it undoubtedly was here
tofore, "How Not To Do It." We take
more sanguine view of the matter.
however, and hope that the outcome of
the deliberations of the Board will be at
least some installment of the popular
demands. Then we shall learn whether
tho railway managers intend to obey
the Railway Commissioners when they
shall have formulated their decision-a
very important aspect of the matter, by
the way, which seems to have been
overlooked by most people. Decisive
action by the Commissioners will at least
bring the thing to head and disclose
the railways plan of action.

lTuscarora Mining News. !

By glancing under the head Of Born"
ii will be seen that the wife of Frank
Haws yesterday presented her liege
lord with twins. This fact of itself
would not be remarkable, bat when it is
known that the boy weighs but three
pounds and the girl two, it presents u
curious freak of nature seldom known.
Both babies were alive at last accounts
last evening, though the boy did not
appear so sprightly as his lesser weight
sister. The mother is woman of aver
age size, weighs about one hundred and
thirty pounds, and usually has good
health. The father is man Of appar-
emily strong constitution, and weighs
between one hundred and seventy and
one hundred and eighty pounds. The
twins are the first children born to the
couple, they having been married about
year.

The Oldest Mine.

The Phoebe Record says: The Oldest
mine in this State and the Territory OF
Utah is perhaps the Potosi mine in this
county. 1t is about $50 miles from
Phoebe, in southeasterly direction,
near the California State line. This
mine was worked by the Mormons in
1856 for the purpose of procuring lead
with which to fight Johnstons army and
it was from this place the brethren got
all their lead, at that time the nearest
known mine to Salt Lake City, being q
distance of nearly 700 miles from that
city, and situated eight miles off from
the old overland road and seventy
miles from the Colorado river. Harry
Henderson says it is an immense deposit
of ore, carrying about forty ounces of
silver to the ton, and goes from sixty.
five to seventy-five per cent. in lead.
This mine is now commencing to attract
the attention of mining men, and is
owned by man named Jim Morgan,
but his title not being perfect, no one
desires taking hold of the property.

whose silence she did not understand,
Pansy fitted away to the piano at the
other end of the room and began TO
lower rents in the vicinity. Snatches Of
the soft, murmurous music filled the air,
and made the place seem strangely sad.
The twilight was approaching, and as
the dark shadows fell the music sobbed
and surged through the room. Lurline

The Indians Excited by Payne's
Projected Movement ON Okla
homa.
LITTLE Rock, Feb. 6.--Advices from
the Indian Territory are to the effect
that the Indians nro greatly excited and
stirred up ia regard to the threatened
invasion Of Oklahama by Payne and his
followers. They fear Paynes persistence
will ultimately force the Government to
compromise or permit the settlement OF
that part of the Territory. Opinion Is
divided among the leaders as to whether
the expulsion of the invaders ought 10
be left wholly to the Government, or
whether the Indians ought not TO assist
in driving them out. Should the latter
be decided upon, tho probabilities are
that blood will be split. General Pope's
troops are guarding the border, but SO
far no captures are reported, nor does it
seem to be known whether any move
ment has yet been made on the Terri
tory.
