SOUTHERN UTAH NOTES.
Mining and miscellaneous Mention
of Frisco, Beaver aud the Feet.

The Latevs have taken their departure
from Milford. perhaps permanently.
S.. d. Kelly and party OF gold hunters
returned to ryis o, upon hearing unfavor-
able report.
sam Bennett d Co. shipped five tons OF
high grade ore from the Thompson to the
Stormont mill recently.
Grant & Hurley made thirty-five-ton
shipment from the old Leeds mine to the
Stormont mill last week.
The leading society event OF the week,
in Milford, was the marriage OF MIR. Nat.
Stoddard to Miss Nettie McCoombs. The
ceremony was performed Thursday even
ing, by Judge T. Whiteside O'Connor, at
the home of the bride, where a wedding

where the happy event was celebrated by
a social hop.
W II. Watson, father of Joe and Eph
Watson of Frisco, got lost in the noun
tains between Cedar City and Minersvllle
two weeks ago, and nearly died OF starya-
ton and thirst before he reached Rush
Lake, which he did after wandering four
days and three nights. The unfortunate
man fell sixteen or more times from ex-
haustiOn within the last hall mile. For
some time his case was considered doubt
full. Doctors Fennemore and King at
tended Mr.. W. and almost miraculously
pulled their patient through.
The Silver Reef teaching works have
been running steadily for forty days and
nights, teaching twenty-seven tons of
tailings every twenty-four hours during
the time. 1t is the intention of the leach
ing company to begin work on their new
plant during the first part of September.
The new works will have set of Cornish
rolls attached for crushing ore, and the
capacity will be seventy-five tons per day.
The company will depend principally on
custom ore, and chloriders will receive
terms that will enable them to work ore
that before was heaved over the dump as
waste.
Quite furore was raised in Silver Reef
the other evening by an attache of the
! Christy assay Office and Il married lady
member of the Sunday school corps, over
the attempt made by man to remove q
load of lucerne he owned. The lady tried
to hold the feed by force. In her wrath
she called him numbering, Mountain

eyed bustard who wheels wood at your
dog-gummed old mill" Officer Cox quiet
ed the disturbance.
/ Although Captain Greenman' business
south was well known throughout Dixie
! before he was we'll on his way from Salt
! Lake City, the event OF his coming Great
ed quite 4 stir among the saints, and the
Underground R. R. was the route for q
/ few days. The fact of his return to Zion
brought relief TO many troubled souls
who have come back from their noun
tain retreats to the quiet settlements
in the valleys. The operators OF the
Deseret Telegraph Co. are greater
prophets than either Joseph Or Brigham
| They can foretell the coming OF deputy
marshal three or four hundred miles dis

eral thing are verified in every particular,
as to time, place and circumstance. 1t is
the height of folly for the United States

to attempt to serve any judicial writ on
