Some Youthful Train Wreckers in
TrOuble-Other Cases.

One day in the latter part of Septem-
Der an engine on the Salt Lake & Fort
Douglas road was thrown from the
track, but fortunately no one was in
jured. Though mention was made at
the time OF the occurrence, the fact that
the engine had been derailed by an OBJ
struction that had been put on the track
was kept quiet at the request OF the
officials of the road.
Yesterday morning, however, there
came near being repetition of the o.
currenoe and there can no longer Re any
reason for keeping the cause secret.
At the time last mentioned some
boys we're seen placing a fence
pole on the track at a point
in the First Ward. Only one of them,
Ben Elder was caught at the time, but
| the poles have the names of the others
and will 500 have thcm in tow. Elder
confessed that be and his companion 8
had derailed the engine in September,
but gave as an excuse that they only
did it for fun. They liked to see the
engine come against the pole and role
it along the track. Of course the boys

MINES AND MINING.
Another DAILY DiVidend-The Ores
eent-GeneraI Notes.

THE reported strike in the Bullion
Beck has created considerable of a stir
in mining circles. Nothing, however,
has yet been learned as to its richness
or extent.
MARY II. JENNINGS and Hugh s.
Gowans have applied for patent for
the Osceols No. 2, lode mining claim.
situated in Tooele County District.
DAILY dividend No. q, of 25c. per
share, amounting to $37 500, has been
declared. 1t is payable November Both.
The usual force OF eighty-fve men is
employed at the Orecent mine. Ac-
cording to the Record, the large pump
required to relieve the big incline shaft
OF water Is en- route from the east and
as soon as 1t is put IN place sinking
will be resumed. The, vein alongside
the shalt is very large and of good
quality, and the greater. the depth the
better 1T shows up. The .tramwav
trains bring down an average Oh 100
tons of ore daily. and hauling will be
kept up until the road Is showed un-
der. The conCentratOr is dong eff
fective work and will continue TO as
long as very cold whether keeps avav.
About 4 600 tons OF concentrating ore
are on the dump and what remains
after the concentration shuts down will
come III handy to start up on early
next spring before the tIanway ia
opened. The affairs of the Crescent ana
in prosperous condition now, and
the property ought to make a very fair
record as a pro 1ncer and dividend
payer from now on.
THE leases of the Woodside have che
usual large force of men at work. The
two inclines are being driven to a sE-
mon point and but few feet remsfn to
be cut through. 1t is expected that the
connection will be made in a day or
two, when a good circulation of air will
be assured. By this connection being
made the vein will be exposed for over
300 feet in length and the distance
down the vein from the surface to the
foot wall will be about 100 feet. All this
great amount OF stopping ground
will be worked at once and develop
ments on the property from a greater
depth will be commenced. Everything
is well fixed for the winters work and
much is expected of the Woodside from
now on.
