considerably excited and have great
faith in the find. The metal is found
among the sand and gravel and rock
about sixty feet below the surface.
The country there seems to have been
an old river bed ages ago and the
metal among the sand and gravel has
been washed down from other regions
and deposited, just rs The Placer
mines ill California. The best depns-
ties are found on the top of "a stratum
of impervious clay which seems to
have held the particles of metal as
they were washed down through the
gravel. We don't know anything
about the stuff but an assayer pro-
nounces it gold.-Er.

In theplay house a few nights ago,
And gazed at the fiddler setting nigh.
AS he sawed with his graceful bow.

Though ITS soft sweet tones were drowned
Before, alas! they could get by
The drummer with symbals and sound
And obi how we wished that you and
Had gun, that that man we might fire
To realms of eternity on high
Where drummer is not in the choir.

A NARROW escape

Editing a newspaper in a burning build
ing possesses many unique but not alto
gether pleasant features. The circumstance
stimulates the Imagination and gives rise
to surging thoughts, but it has its draw
backs in the fact that the order of the
printing Office may o give way to chaos.
OF all the choatic sights the imagination
conceive a newspaper Office after a fire is
about the most extraordinary. For a lit.
tic while last night it looked as though
THE LEADER office was doomed, but
pending the certainty of it the printers
kept at work as usual preparing for this
mornings edition. For half an hour the
smoke in the composing room, editorial
room and business Office was
thick enough to cut with a
tlble knife and every Whit of fresh air
which came through the wide open doors
was laden with increased supplies.
Some people may enjoy having a con-
flagration about their premises, we are
certainly not of their number.

A RESOLUTION making the Sun the
official paper of the city was railroaded
through the city council last evening under

usual to allow all such enactments to lay

better taste to have taken this step at the
reorganization of the council, when the
whole thing might have been done grace
fully. As it now stands it looks as though
one small man had led that grave and

around by its individual and collective

House OF Representatives
FOR COAL MINERS.

Mr.. Cummock, Uinta county, gave no.
tice of the early introduction of a bill "for
the protection of miners engaged in min,
ing coal against the use of fraudulent
weights and measures, and defining how
much weight shall constitute n bushel or
ton. 1t is claimed that the treatment OF
miners in this respect is often simply out
rageous, frequently placing the operative
at the mercy of some INSCRIPTIONS over
seer who will not hesitate to compel him
to mine several hundred pounds in excess
of a ton and allow payment for that
amount only. Disputes about weight
contributed not a little to the causes of
the bloody Rock Springs riot.

mock amends and rc-enacts several Sec
tiOns of the chapter of the statutes rcgu-
lating coal mining in the territory.
WANTS A SLICE.
In the near future, perhaps to-day, Mr..
Grant will present for the consideration of

THERE appears to be now very little
objection to the passage Of the maverick
bill except perhaps in the matter of a few
minor details. Even as the bill originally
stood it is of a decidedly different charac-
ter from the old and odious measure. 1t
may be accepted as a fact hat no bill OF
the kind can be conceived which will be
satisfactory to every one, Effort should
be directed toward getting one which most
closely meets the situation. The bill now
under discussion possesses many good
features.

Ireland or England, and yet it is pervaded
