ago. that work on the extension of the
railroad west from Milford, Utah, would
soon begin, is confirmed. Bids for grad.
ing one hundred and fifteen miles, or
thereabouts, of roadbed, will close at the
Union Pacific Company's Office at Salt
Lake City on the 25th inst, and active
work will probably begin few weeks
hence. The building of this amount of
road will bring the line to Sheep Springs,
or to Meadow Valley Wash, to which
points the surveys already made generally
agree. West of those points several
lines have been run, all more or less OBJ
jectonable on account of distance or
grade, and it is very probable that new
route down Meadw Nalley Wash will be
followed. 1t is said that the manage
ment believe the work can be more easily
done in winter than in summer time, on
which account no great haste has thus
far been manifested. We don't know
what force of men will be employed, but
it is not unreasonable to say that we
shall be in almost direct rail communica-
ton with Salt Lake City within year.
A fire alarm yesterday morning, about
10 o'clock, was sounded. The roof of the
building on Cedar street, known as the
Alps house, was found to be on fire,
ctased by defective Huc. This is pro-
lc source of danger and should be most
cariully guarded against. This is the
season of the year too when the greatest
danger arises from such causes, and all in
putting up stoves should see that they
are safe and not jeopardzo the safety of
their neighbors as well as themselves.
FURNACE. Since starting week ago
yesterday the furnace has run steadily
and without hitch so far as its opera.
ton is concerned. Up to yesterday 800
bars had been run out, making two car
loads, one of which was shipped. Under
the supervision of Mr.. August Werner
there is no question about the base ore Of
the camp being successfully reduced.
The whole reduction works, now so near
completion, deserves more than passing
comment and we shall endeavor to pre-
sent them shortly.
BLACK LEDGE WINZE.-The water in
this Wine is now down a depth of 1875
feet. Yesterday an auxiliary pump was
put in at the 18th station to relieve the
smaller one further down the shaft. The
new pump will raise to the 10Th all the
water pumped from below and that
which may drain from the ledge above.
This will materially assist the work be-

more rapid
