THE GOLD DISCOVERY.
The Democrat" Assay 49, Draw
Your Own Conclusions.

In order to see for itself what founda-
ton existed for the reports OF the gold
discovery near the city, the DEMOCRAT
this morning detailed one of its scribes to
investigate. The claims are situated in
Spring Hollow, about mile northeast
of the grave yard, and can be easily
reached by the Twentieth ward car.
The ledge can be seen from the grave
yard on approaching the claims, and holes
and workings. are seen in all directions,
indicating that the sanguine hopes OF
many miner were born and buried.
Numbers of men OF every degree,
with pickaxe and shovel, were seen going
up and coming down. Those coming
down informed the reporter that his trip
was in vain, as no one would be per-
mitted to see the claims. The reporter
however, was not easily daunted, and
soon arrived On the ground where he
was courteously received by Mr.. &. Adj
kins, one of the owners, who readily ac-

the discovery. The ledge which Mr.. At
kins pointed out is about five feet wide
and about eight feet high, and is exposed
for length of twelve feet. In appear
ance it bears great resemblance to some
of the iron veins in Tintic District. The
gold pointed out to the reporter could be
seen with the naked eye, and appeared to
be confined to the lower part of the ledge,
where the ledge assumes concave form.
Where the gold is visible the ledge
has weather-worn appearance,
as though it had been exposed
a long time. 1t must also be
recorded that the reporter wet his hand
and rubbed one OF the places
where the gold was visible, where
upon the mineral disappeared Mr.
Atkins very naturally did not care to have
his gold taken, so the reporter could not
obtain any specimen from him showing
mineral. The reporter, however, took a
specimen from point where the pre-
cious metal was not visible, and on his
return to town, had an assay made, show
ing it to contain Al 40 per cent. of iron,
but no gold whatever
Mr.. Atkins showed a specimen of
gold, which, he stated, had come
out of the ledge. The reporter does
not venture to express any opinion be-
yond stating that it appeared rather large
in comparison with the gold visible on the
ledge.
Mr.. Atkins further showed a GER
tifcate OF ali assay by local as
sayer, showing upwards of 81 900 per
ton value in gold, which certificate bore
the words: ''Prepared Sample"
There were five men working at other
parts of the claim; the gold discovery,
however, was not to be touched, Mr..
Atkins saying that some capitalists were
expected up to look at it.
Improvements appear to be in progress
all around the claim, and the natural i'm
preston is that the owners are sanguine
of success.
The reporter desires to express no
opinion, but to allow everyone to draw
his own conclusions.

ter, president Of the Queen of the Hills
Mining Company, stated to Wood River

BITS FROM BEAVER.
Judge Foreman Suspends Sentence on
an Aged Polygamist-A Big
Batch of Indictments
Amusements-Etc.

! The following items, under date of the
18th inst, are from the DEMOCRATS
Beaver (Utah) correspondent:
In the Second District Court this morn
ing Laban Morrill, was called up for SEN
tence, he having previously pleaded
guilty to the charge OF unlawful cOhabita-
ton, prepared against him by the Grand
Jury. The accused is now y years of age.
He is said to have been one OF the infa-
nous council that assembled at Cedar
City in 1856 and decided the fate of the
emigrants at Mountain Meadows. He.
however, has the credit of having strong
ly opposed, from first to last, the murder
of those unfortunates,
A strong appeal for suspension of SEN
tence, on account of the defendants adj
vanced age and previous good conduct
(aside from the offense with which he
stood charged) was made by his attor-
neys, in which the assistant United States
attorney joined. Judge Foreman then
called up the defendant and said:
MIR. Morrill,, your attorney has re-
quested that the court suspend sentence
by reason of your old age, your general
good character, and the belief that YOU
will live in obedience to the laws from
this time on. The prosecuting attorney
has united in the request. Taking all
these circumstances into consideration.
and the tact that the court is led to be-
ileve that you will henoeforth live in
obedience to the laws, will suspend sem
tence for the present, and when the court
wants you it will send for YOU"
The old fellow earnestly thanked the
Judge for HE leniency, and then went on
his way rejoicing.
The Grand jury, after a session of ten
Gays duration, was discharged on Thurs
day last. Eighteen indictments were re-
turned, and it is surmised, though not
known to anyone except the Grand Jurors
and the court officials, that about one
half OF the bills were returned against
parties for violation of the anti-polygamv
law. There has been a grand hegira of
polygamous suspects" from this locality
during the past three weeks.
The case OF the People against James
w. Pace is set for trial on Wednesday
next. The defendant stands indicted for
the murder of a man named Judd Wood
ard, at Panguitch, few weeks ago.
Judge Kirkpatrick, who came down
from Salt Lake to attend to some legal
business here, returned home this morn
ing.
Beaver has amusements galore at
present. Last night, a grand ball was
given, tonight the Home Dramatic Com
pany gives performance, and a number
OF horse races, for heavy stakes, are
to come off next week.
Josiah Rogerson, an ex-county official
was tried for an alleged defalcation in his
accounts last week. After the jury in
his case had retired, Rogerson attempted
to smuggle Salt Lake dispatch into the
Jury room, and was detected and fined
800 Tor contempt of court. In default of
payment he spent several days in DURANGO

business, payments were made promptly
and satisfactory statements made There
were no formal terms between u.s. By

1882.
Q.-State if you ever procured any

Mr.. Marshall objected. This could not
be material or relevant in this case. Ques-
ton temporarily withdrawn.
Witness was requested to produce a
letter from defendant, dated Salt Lake,
September Sd, 1884, which she read. The
letter stated that he could collect the
$1,000 if it was a necessity, but
business was depressed and it
was hardly fair to come down very
hard on borrowers. This letter also stated
that the Mammoth was one of the largest
mines of the west and expressed the hope
it would soon be able to resume opera
tons.
The witness continued: That letter

Important, If True.

A correspondent OF the Stockton
(California) Herald, writes as follows
! herewith append recipe which has
been used, to my knowledge, in hun
dreds of cases. 1t will prevent or cure
the smallpox though the pittings are
filling When Jenner discovered a
cow-pox in England, the world of
science hurled an avalanche upon his
head, but when the most scientific
school of medicine in the world-that
of Paris-published this recipe as a
panacea for smallpox it passed un-
needed. 1t is as unfailing as fate, and
conquers in every instance. 1t is harm
less when taken by we'll person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever Here is
the receipt as have used it, and cured
my children of scarlet fever here it is as

Take spoonful every hour. Either
disease will disappear in twelve hours
For child, smaller doses, according to
age. If countries would compel their
physicians to use this, there would be
no need Of pest houses. If you value
advice and experience, use this for that
terrible disease.
Daily Honolulu press. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1886, 1885-09-14

David Dudly Field and Henry
George have been discussing the rela-
tions supposed to exist between the
Christian religion or Christianity per Sc
and human labor. They have been
quarreling over the question as to
whether Christianity does or does not
assert the natural rights ofman." 1t
seems to US that until it can be shown
that Christianity has some practical
bearing upon the question under
discussion, that form of re-
ligion should in no way be loaded
with either the curses or blessings of a
combined political and social system.
We have always understood that, al
though closely related to the life of man,
religion is the complement of his
spiritual nature, and that mans re-
ligious development has nothing what
ever to do with his material existence
in direct way-much less has it any
bearing on political question.
Daily Honolulu press. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1886, 1885-09-14

The consideration of the labor ques-
tion seems to be one OF the greatest
importance for Hawaii just at present,
and before any definite action is taken
in the matter our whole labor system
as well as the solution of the difficult
ties attending it, should be calmly and
carefully gone over and discussed by
all concerned, 1t will not do for US to
spend our time throwing the blame
now here and now there. What we
want is full and complete settlement
OF the whole matter.
