Thc Un.a.weep District.

Returns have been received from the spec-
men of Un-a-weep ore sent to Hill last week
by Capt. Anderson for assay. The return
shows of gold trace, silver 4.s ounces, and
copper % per cent. On ore Of this assay Hill
offers $3.50 per ton. Another specimen from
the same district sent to Colorado Springs for
assay returned 1.3 ounces in gold and 80 per
cent in copper. We can vouch for these fig
ures as they were taken from the assay Ger.
tifcates.
From Mr.. S. n. Walling, who arrived di-
rect from the Un-a-wcep district last Satur-
day, we learn that streak of solid steel ga
lena three feet wide had been struck some lit
tie distance up the canon from tie locations
first made, which had caused some little ex-
element. When Mr. Walling left there were
only about eighteen sor twenty men in the
camp working assessments, but he passed sew
eral parties going in as he came out.j
Messrs Boles and Nanny left Delta last
Saturday for the Un-a-weep to thoroughly
prospect the district before leaving It We
expect some news from them before long
1t is reported that ore similar to the Una
weep exists ON the Roubideau, and parties are
preparing to hunt it up.
Messrs. Anderson, Hall, Farmer, Walling

Mr.. J. j. Barker has received an invoice of
plows, cultivators, and other farming mple-
ments, and expects to receive this week an
other larger one. Such has been the demand
for farming utensils this spring that he has
been unable to keep himself supplied at all
times. He has made arrangements to supply
the ranchmen with anything they may need
in this line at the ruling prices in Kansas
City with freight added only from Pueblo.
Mr.. Barker runs the only blacksmithing and
repairing shop in this section, and is fixed for
overhauling anything from a needle to a
threshing machine. He also keeps the best
quality of lime on hand for sale by pound,

The Salt Lake Chronicle of the 10Th has
the following:
''F. c. Minis, general passenger and ticket
agent of the Denver Il Rio Grande railway,
states that the road will be completed to Salt

freight and passenger trains viii be run over
the road as after completion Us possible.
He is very anxious to have the line to Ogden
completed, and says that work on it will not
be delayed day after the road reaches this
point. Concerning the work to lac done on
the line in Colorado, Mr.. Minis states that
the Ouray branch and the short line surveyed

constructed this summer, but that no work
will be done on the Lake City, Ruby and
other contemplated and surveyed branches

The time has gone by when it would pay
ranchmen to go from here to Montrose to do
their trading. The late reduction and equal
ization of freight rates on the Denver & Rio
Grande has enabled our merchants to compete
successfully with our sister city for the trade
of the surrounding country. As an instance
of this, ranchman from Smiths Fork last
week came to Delta for two loads of grain,
and after inquiry came to the conclusion that
he could make money by driving to Montrosc,
twenty-five miles distant, and purchasing
On arriving there and learning that grain was
selling at from quarter to a half cent higher
per pound than in Delta, he returned here and
made his investment While in Montrose he
purchased harrow teeth at ten cents a piece,
while Mr.. Barker, of this place, yuotes them
ut nine cents. II is safe to bet that he
will make no further pilgrimages to Mont
rose Another instance was that of return
ing Red Mountaineer who, not wishing to re-
turn empty handed, bought load of potatoes
in Montrose and brought them to Delta, but
found on arriving that potatoes of superior
quality were retailing cheaper here than he
had paid in Montrose at wholesale. He re-

effected by the Rev. Richard Gro

temperance met ting on Monday
evening. A large and appreciative
audience greeted the speaker on
each occasion. He has thoroughly
enthused our people by his eloquent
and earnest efforts in behalf OF pro-
hibit:on. He also put in a plea in

Parker Hall.

WHEELING, March 5th, 1883.
DEAR FREEMAN If any one of
the many who Adtter themselves
that the temperance people of this
city are discouraged, or in any wise
dismayed, had been at Parker Hall
Yesterday afternoon their hopes IN
that direction would have been
dispelled, for it was an occasion of
more than usual interest. While
it is true, there was a perceptible
falling off in the average attend
ance, owing to the attractions of
the Salvation Army which holds
it's meetings at the same hou j.,
and also to the fact that the cuSto-
mary announcement did not make
its appearance in the Saturday
morning paper, yet there was a
fair audience.
The absence of Miss Taylor and
the customary supply Of special
speakers for the occasion did not
make good impression to start
with, but Parkers Hall Temper
ance Union don't get discouraged
at trifle~, otherwise we might have
suspended years ago. Such diff
culties As these have been sur
mounted time and again, and we
have become accustomed to look
for the best results, when as in this
instance we have been thrown en-
tirel Y upon our own Resources. The
handvist man we have found in
such an emergency (and who struck
the keynote Yesterday is VIM.
Hastings, Esq, who made Il very
practical and earnest speech. His
remarks were especially applicable
to the working men, who gave evil
dence Of their probation by re-
spectful attention to every word he
uttered. He was followed by Mr.,
John Handy, not only a reformed
man, but thoroughly recon
structed and saved and "A mon
ument of the power of divine grace
to save from the appetite and curse
Of strong drink. His remarks
were especially appropriate for the
dav and the occasion, and cannot
fail If good results. Rev. Dlvison
who had just returned from the Sal
vation Amy meeting, and who
seemed to have brought with him
spme of it's influence made the
closing address, and never did het-
ter than on this occasion. The
singing, always good" was excep-

The Paul Trial.

State VS.. Joseph Paul-npon an
indictment for the murder Of Reu-
ben Marquis. After the court dis
posed of nearly 40 instructions to
the jury asked by counsel, giving
some as asked, modifying others,
and rejecting others, the case was
given to the jury on Thursday last.
70 the surprise of many the jury
soon returned with a verdict of
murder in the first degree, without
odifcation, the penalty in such
case being death by hanging.
AS we go to press motion for a
new trial is being argued, and we
refrain from comment. On the
motion the war of af1idavits and
counter-af1idavits was especially Sc
we're and general, and what the Is
sue will be we shall know when the
Court speaks.
Judge Ferguson is now also
engaged for the prisoner, having
been retained since the rendering
of the verdict. The interest in
the case, of course is unabated.

The Railroad Meetings, by Miss
Jennie Smith and Others.

More than week ago Miss Jen-
ME Smith, assisted by Miss Sher-
man, begun series of meetings in
the r. R. Carpenters shop in the
Sixth Ward Being absent from
Che city up to the day of going to
press last week, we failed to get in
any notice of the meetings in last
issue.
The work has progressed steadily
ind with much interest and prom
Use Of good and permanent results.
After spending several days here,
Miss Sherman returned to fill an
engagement at Rowlesburg, leav-
ing Miss Smith to continue with
volunteer co workers here until
last Saturday when she was joined
by those veterans in the Railroad
work, Mr. and Mrs. Harris of Massa-
chusetts.
The meetings Sunday afternoon
and evening were especially well
attended and interesting. From
800 to 1000 people were in the
shop in the afternoon, and the deep
est interest was manifested dur.
ing all the exercises. The singing
by Mrs. Harris was itself success
sion Of earnest, pleading Gospel
sermons.
This was especially an expert
ence meeting in which many took
earnest part, samong whom Mr..
Ridenour and Mr.. Clayton Of Graf
ton. Of course the leading spirit
and guiding hand in the work is
Miss Jennie Smith, whose unaffect
eli zeal and simple earneStness Of
purpose at once disarms all criti-
Gsm.
In reply to the curious who in
quire as to Miss Smiths "methods"
OF Christian work we answer, Earn
est appeal and importunate prayer,
The meetings are continuing
through the week, noon and eve
ming.
