ness of the property, "there is some

Utah Items.

We condense a few items from a
correspondent of the Salt Lake
Tribune about the mines at Alta:
The City Rock is opened by a series
of adit tunnels, n above the other;
the lower one was in 1900 feet two
years ago; 1t is still being driven on
towards the east end of the property,
where 1t will be 1900 feet below the
outcrop. About thirty men are en-
ployed.
In the Prince of Wales an import
ant strike of high grade ore has been
made by the Walker Brothers.
John w. Harker has leased the
Equitable tunnel, and is running a
tunnel from this into the Mackay
and Revolution mines. He is nego-
tiating for a wet process 10 stamp

The Montezuma company is driv-
ing a tunnel 1,4OO feet long to cut the
Montezuma and Savage mines $40
feet below the old workings.

the same reason. That one Bryan,
| the minister who Oficlated at said
marriage, has been dead several years,
and that if any private memorandum
or record OF the marriage was made,
the same is lost or destroyed, the par
ticulars of which marriage being
fully known to Blaine.
The bill then states that some time
before the date Of said marriage,
Blaine was a professor at an institu-
ton of learning at Millersburg, KY;
that Miss StanwOOd was an instruct
reSS in the female school at the same
place, and that they there became &C
quainted. Both were unmarried, and
Blaine addressed Miss StanWood as a
suitor; that he gained her confidence
and illicit relations ensued; that a
short time before said marriage. Jacob
StanwOOd, a brother Dr. uncle of Har-
riet, or some other person or persons
unknown to the orators. waited on
Blaine, charged him with being the
cause OF Miss Stanwood's condition,
and threatened him with personal
violence unless he married her; that
Blaine made no denial OF the charges
and in consequence of being threat
ened, agreed to marry her. THAT one
or more persons were present at the
interview between Blaine and this
relative; but these persons are un-
known to the orators.
The bill then states that after the
marriage, Mrs. Blaine went to Au-
gusta, Me-, where a child was born,
about June Is, 1851, and that said
child was always recognized and &C.
knowledsed by Blaine as his son. The
orators further say they have a good
and valid defense, as stated in their
plea of justification, that the facts
stated in answer are true, and that
the same can be fully established by
the answer of Blaine to the interro-
gatories heretofore propounded, all
the circumstances being fully known
to him; and the full and complete
discovery of said facts from and by
Blaine is necessary to the orators in
their defense, in aid Ofsuch other tes-
timony as may be procurable. I'm
less this is done the orators cannot so
fully set out and completely show
and prove the facts necessary to
their defense.
The orators therefore pray that a
full and complete discovery may be
made by Blaine in relation tothe facts
heretofore stated, and to that end he
be summoned to answer the same
under oath. The bill closes by asking
that a writ of subpoena be issued out
of chancery for Blaine, and that he
be ordered to answer particularly the
interrogatories; that proceedings be
stayed until such time as Blaine may
answer; that in case Blaine fails to
answer the interrOgatories, further
proceedings be p%erpetually stayed and
restrained.
The bill was not filed till 5 o'clock,
and the court adjourned without TAX
ing action.
