THE CAVE AT THE HORN-sILvER.
Southern Utah Times, Feb. IA. |

Wednesday night the ground in the
vicinity of the old Horn Silver hosting
works began sinking in such manner as
to foreshadow grand tumble of things
movable underground, From that time
until little past midnight, the sinking
continued, when all of a sudden great
masses of mammoth timbers were crushed
into toothpicks, and chunk of the
earth's crust more than 700 feet thick
slid down between the walls Of the mine
toward the 800 foot level. with concus.
sion that drove everything before it.
Men, timbers, tools, powder kegs, can.
dies, ETC., were blown into out of the way
places almost like shot out of a gun.
About fifty men were on shift at the time.
some of whom were scratched and
bruised, though not seriously. and all
escaped with their lives. IT'S most
fortunate fact that in all of the caves in
the Horn Silver mine, the miners have
escaped serious injury. On the surface
the ground shows shrinkage of nearly
two feet, and yawning chasms extend out
as far as the old railroad track. SOME
say the shock was so great as to resemble
an earthquake in camp. The scene in
the drifts. underground when the slide
occurred was one of terrible confusion,
and so filled those who were there with
fear that no one dared venture below
After the crash the proper exit was by
way of the new works, and fortunately
most of the men realized this fact. Thu
ground down to the 600 level is com
plete wreck, and the surface so badly
broken up that the old works will hav'

Ir may be all correct for the Mormons
to examine the mails in the postoffices
out in Utah, but when it comes to the
Mormon authorities coming over into
Nevada and doing so, it is carrying mat
tiers little too high.handed. There is
not postotfice in this county, in the
Mormon settlements, but what should be
closed 1t is the Mormon church that
runs such postoffices, and not the Gov
eminent. If man in those settlements
subscribe for newspaper, that is not
under the control of the church, such a
person is reported, and the church then
gives the poor devil his choice to either
stop his paper or be bloodatoned.

Reflex, which is all of hundred feet

was found which was seven inches long
and an inch and half wide, also the

CATTLEMEN SCARED.
PLEURO-PNEUMONIA IN ILLINOIS AND
MISSOURI ATTRACTING ATTENTION.
A Meeting Called by Illinois Cattlemen
to Consider the Subject-The Outlook
for siness-Crops in Kansas
and Elsewhere.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 27-The follow
ng call signed by number Of cattle
breeders has just been issued:
To THE CATTLE BREEDERS OF ILLINOIS:
The undersigned deem it Of the utmost inn
portanCe that immediate steps be taken to
prevent the further Introduction and spread
If contagious diseases among tho domestic
animals Of the state. The serious outbreak
H contagious pleuro-pneumonia in an ad
joining state, and the Infection in a single
county thereof of over sixty herds number
ing over 100000 head of cattle,
and the increased danger Of the
spread of the disease, make it advisa:
bic that the stock-breeders OF
the state should join in some concerted move
TO devise adequate means to cope with this
much dreaded plague, which threatens tode-
stroy the cattle interest i'll this state, now
valued at over $50, 900, 900.
The undersigned request that the cattle
breeders and feeders of the state meet in con-
yention in the city of Springfield on Thurs
lay, April 3O 1885, at 10 o'clock a. m, to
consider legislation and other matters cal
culated to insure the safety of this extensive
industry, upon which the prosperity Of the
state is SO largely dependent.
A nesting was held Friday afternoon in
the agricultural department at the capitol,
at which were exhibited portions of the
lungs of cattle deceased from pleuro- pneu-
monia. DR.. Paaren, state veterinarian, dis
sected the diseased portions and explained to
the large audience of Legislators and cattle
men present the origin and progress of the
malady which is at present creating such
apprehension through out the country.
An important bill was introduced in the
senate on the subject of pleuro-pneumonia
which authorizes the appointment by the
governor of three state commissioners,
whose duty it shall be to investigate all
cases of contagious or infectious disease
among domestic animals, and to use all
proper means to eXtermlnate and prevent
the spread of such disease.
ST.. LOUIS, April 2 1T was learned here
Friday that Attorney General Garland,
after further examination of the law on
the subject, had reversed his decision en-
powering the commissioners of agriculture
to purchase and slaughter all cattle affected
with contagious diseases As this i'm
poses the burden Of stamping out the
disease ON states or individuals, meet
ings of persons interested were held
to consider the matter. An appeal was sent
Governor Marmaduke, asking him to call q
special session of the Legislature. The gov
ernor i'll his reply does not refuse to call a
special session. but says as the legislature
failed to take action at its recent session the
parties interested ought to subscribe suff1-
cient money to meet the demand. He feels
certain this money would lie refunded by
the state. The effort made here to raise
money to pay for cattle slaughtered in Cal
loway county has practically failed.

New YORK, April 27.-The warm
weather of the last few days has encour-

as is also noted there has been a
better feeling in trade circles, based on the
improvement in the weather, and, it must be
confessed, on widespread notion thata wal

is no better outlook in Industrial lines. The

News from the Wheat Fields.

ATcH1soN, Kan, April 27.-The state
board of agriculture, in their March report,
estimated the wheat crop at 1000, 900 acres
in good condition. An average crop is from
100000 to 100000 bushels, hence our
crop this year on that basis would be about
that amount, but since that time reports have
been received here which indicate that the
crop will not pan out as we'll as estimated,
and it is safe to say that the yield will not
be more than 10, co., 600 bushels.
ST. PAUL, April a. The Omaha road has
received reports from over sixty stations on

corning spring wheat and other grains
From them it appears that spring wheat is
