SOUTHERN UTAH NOTES.
Some General Items From Frisco,
Beaver and silver Reef.

Thermometer 104 in the shade at Silver
Reef, and still climbing.
Joseph Smith, President of the Re
organized Church of Jesus Christ, is ex
pected in Beaver at an early day.
Minersyille had a glorious Fourth o.
July celebration. They hoisted the Stars
and Stripes, and didn't half-mast them
either.
Mining matters are very quiet in Brad
shaw District The Cave Company con
tinues to ship a little ore. Work on theil
big tunnel is still progressing.
The Silver Reef teaching works con
tinue to turn out sulphides night and day
A new tramway has been constructed by
the managers, over which the tailings
from the lower pile will be conducted tC
the tanks.
Every day or so tourist from Arizona
walks into Silver Reef and, while they
give brilliant descriptions of facetiously
rich lodges down in that country, they
are singularly free from all bullion when
they land at the Reef
There is nothing eventful to report il
mining matters at Silver Reef. The
two mills are running steadily, and both
companies are working full force o.
men in the mines and extracting their
regular quota Of ore.
The Southern Utah Times says of the
shooting of Severance by Orrick, at Mil.
ford, July LIST: 1t was a cold-blooded
murder, and the long-haired crank should
have dangled at ropes end the moment
the deed was perpetrated.
Will Clements has returned to Frisco
from his prospecting trip into the San
Juan country, bringing with him samples
OF rich rock showing free gold in large
quantities, and has the appearance OF
having run into the rock while in molten
condition A small piece from the sur.
face was still richer in gold than any he
had. All the rock can be milled; there
is no refuse whatever. This is believed
to be the best mining country in Colo
RADIO
The anti-polygamy law of July LIST,
1862, and every other law against the re-
ligion of the Latter-day Saints since that
time, has been a violation OF the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo with Mexico.
There is no way of legally or justly
lodging this point.-Bearer UtOnian.
With equal pertinence, the UtOnian may
have noticed that there isn't any way OF
legally or justly lodging the present
District Courts; and there is this differ
ence-the action of the courts seem to be
vastly more binding than the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo. The penitentiary
record shows it.
Mr. A. L. Williams, OF Salt Lake City,
passed through Silver Reef last Wednes-
day week, on his return home from a
visit to the Lower Dixie country. Mr.
Williams is one of the heaviest stock
holders in the Mountain Chief Mining
Company, and the occasion of his visit
south was for the purpose of inspecting
the mining property of the company,
which is situated about eighteen miles
west of st. George in this county. He
says that there are now five men at work
on the Red Warrior and Whip-poor-Will
mines, but that the work at the present
time is solely done for the purpose of
prospecting the property. He says that
there are hundreds of tons of ore in sight
in the big cave and old workings, but
that it is of too low grade to be worked
proftably at present, but that the present
indications of striking the regular ledge
and higher grade ore are good.
