A Fatal Quarrel.

GALVESTON, June IA letter
received here from Matamoras gives
the particulars of fatal quarrel
there between two half brothers,
Miguel and Jules Monda, over the
possession of a saber belonging to
their father. The younger brother,
aged Is, who was the larger of the
two, becoming frantic, suddenly
seized the weapon, and whirling it
in the air, brought it down with such
fo1ce on his brothers neck that it
almost severed the head from the
body, the young man instantly dy-
ing. Quickly realizing the enor
nifty of the awful deed he turned
the blade against his side, thrust
it into his own heart and fell dead
Their parents are wealthy Mezi-
cans. Their grandmother witnessed
the awful tragedy.

north Of Atlanta, by the discovery
Of the long-los gold vein in an

It almost glistened, being 50 COM
pletely covered with precious metal
This is an old mine that has been
worked for about forty years as
slrface mine and found in various
places to be very rich. The mine
was first owned and worked by a
man named Nicholson. After
taking out a large quantity Of gold
sold it to Mr.. Leak, the present
owner of the property. Leak spent
much time and money in testing
and hunting for the vein, but was
unsuccessful and abandoned it .

many have worked the deposits I'M
successfully. At various times
during the last forty years men
who claimed to be experts have re-
ported discoveries of metals at this
mine and caused the citizens who
owned adjoining lands to clothe |
themselves in their best costumes
and talk and feel as if they were
rich but always, after a time, the
excitement would subside and the

geological features of the country
by long experience, and as his only
hope lies in the push and ingenuity
with which he operates, his whole
soul and body are given TO the
development of paying mineral.
One weeks time of the average
lessee on Wood River has been
demonstrated TO be of more value
than $4,000 poorly represented.
Money doesn't make mines, but
experience and practical ability
develop mines by its aid. When
capital fully appreciates the i'm
portance of this fact q great
stumbling-blocls and n mighty
injustice will be removed. There
is going on in this region a grad
uni change in the mining aspect,
AMI we see such early fallacies sub
siding with their effect. Capital,
judiciously expended, the concen-
traitor, and the lessee are doing
for Wood River the undeniablc
work of her future greatness.

a NEW FEATURE. Nv PROS
EsEGlsN<s.

\ gentleman who has had a great
deal OF work done on mining claims
for years past, has hit upon a new
departure from the usual methods
OF the employment of labor on
mines, which is meeting with great
success. Instead Of paying miners
by the day for their work, they are
employed for three, six or nine
months. The mine owner fur
nishcs board and all mining sup
plies for the miners, and gives
them an interest in whatever may
be extracted during the period for
which they may have contracted TO
work on this basis. BY the adop-
ton of this system, the owner Of
the property maintains exploration
wori, It q very small cost-not
exceeding six dollars per week to
the man-anl the miner working
is assured of lis expenses, with
an opportunity Of sharing the
profits Of the owner of the mine.
We think this system a good one
and one that would be material
benefit to the Wood River country.
Its effects upon the growth and
Development Of our mineral
would be similar 70 that Of
the lessee, whose time and fortune
are al stake in the ground he works
In this way the labor;ng man can
to certain extent supply the want
Of capital and we can see the
growth of our mines upon a solid

the establishing or organizing OF a

The shooting of Joseph McMur-
rim by deputy Marshal Collin on
Saturday night is an affair to be
regretted, whatever may be the
truth of the matter or wheather the
account of the one or the other is
true. That occurrence, with which
the public is familiar, indicates
better and more sadly than any
thing else that the state of public
feeling between Mormons and non
Mormon in this city is intense, and
that things are on that strain that it
will take but little to lead to riot,
and perhaps to worse things, and
eventually lead us into civil war.
The shooting on Saturday night
was the outcome of this feeling.

special tax Of one-haif Of one
per cent. for the purpose of build
ing an addition to the public
school. This addition has long
been needed, but of late the school
has become SO crowded that it is
absolutely indispensable, and unless
something is done to relieve the
pressure in this respect, the school
will haze to be closed as a precau-
tiOnary measure, because it i

We recognize the same extremity

county. Our rapidly increasing
population swells the public school
rolls much faster than it prepares
for the accommodation of those
schools and it is only when the
extremity approaches and becomes
visible to everyone that the people
are beginning to realize that some
thing must be done. HALEY is
the proper step and ketchum
should do the same without delay.
