Tintic mining district the other day.
He was fortunate enough to meet on
the train such welI.known mining ex-
perts as Hank Smith, Esq, of the
Bulllon-Beck & California Mining
Company, Major Stanton, of the firm
of Carter & Stanton, OF this city, James
B. Black, Esq, of Haley, Idaho, and
Colonel Mitchell. one of the owners and
manager of the Mammoth Copper
opolis. The above group, it will be con-
coded, made up great crowd. At any
rate, the conductor thought so
before the outfit got to Lehi
Junction, the place st which
we change cars for Silver City,
the chief t aiding town, 30 far as the
mining district is concerned, In Juab
County, Utah. And then the other
conductor, the man who had the mis-
fortune W accompany US from Lehl
Junction to Silver City, SAM" must
have imagined that he had struck the
greatest crowd he had carried for a
long time. During the tedious travel OF
about seventy miles, we adjourned to
the bagga coon, and ally hing and
everything Was done there w kill time.
Sam Wouli not allow poker" So
long as he was On that train, and had
the management of it, no such thing as
60 ho ha
ALLOW ed on the premises. One lady on
the train, however, knowing her nus
bands failing in certain direction,
with tears in her eyes, at certain
station on the line, said she heard some
money fall on the floor. ana therefore
she knew, or had reason to believe, that
something was going wrong. AS a
matter OF fact, so lar as
her husband was concerned, she
was entirely mistaken. Major Stanton,
in giving change to Sam, F."
dropped some filthy lucre on the floor
of that Baggage wagon, and the jingle
thereof caused all the trouble in that
Door womau's mind. He was very
respectable looking man. All the harm
he did in INV presence Was-he smoked
a pipe. Hank and the Major and the
rest did not object to his smoking all
he pleased, or had mind TO, but they
| did object to his wife coming to a con-
clusion that was not, could not, will
never be substantiated by facts.
The great outfit arrived at Silver City
about / O'Clock. Mr.. Blanchard, post
master, notary public, telegraph opera
tor, probate Judge, mayor, etc., etc.,
etc., met the company at the depot.
He at once showed himself great en-
tertainer. But in this RESP ect his wife,
loved and respe, ted hl in Silver
City, took;the whole party Ly surprise.

the mine show up splendid ore. New
machinery is being placed in the mine
as fast as hands can put it in. This
mine is bouad to make a ereat showing
before long. Doub less the mine is be-
ing put IN shape for SAIL, and as 6
matter of fact many people who suppose
themselves capable of judging and
handling mining property when it i:
put in their hands, have come
to the co lcI nsion that the Mammoth
could long since have been sold, at 6
handsome profit 10 the owners, had il
not been that the price a. ked was al
together too high Even IL these times
of a real estate boom, TerhRps the
owners of this property will come to the
conclusion that in exchange for it, they
do not want the earth and the fitness
thereof. OF course, every man has a
right to ask what he pleas for any
piece of property he may o"n, but then
there is such thing as going beyond
all reason. The Mammoth is great
property, and und r The car ful man
