IL.
Deputy Sheriff at Clover Valley, brought
in two prisoners from that place yester.
day and they were placed in the County
Jail. The prisoners whose names are Ben
Marsh and Denis o Brien, are charged
with grand larceny, in stealing from
Charles Kuhnke at Glover Valley on OF
about June 30, eight checks and time or.
ders of the value of $l79 70. The defen.
dants were arrested on the line below
Clover Valley, one about s miles from
there, the other at Dutch Flat They
had cashed some of the stolen checks
which act led to their detection and
arrest. They were given preliminary
hearing before Justice of the Peace Ed.
win Hamlin at Clover on the End inst,
and bound over to await the action of
the Grand Jury. Three of the stolen
checks and over $50 in cash were found
on the prisoners when arrested. Marsh
appears to be the more guilty of the two
and at 10 o'clock at night after being
arrested, and before reaching Glover, he
broke away and hid in the high brush.
A little ruse was resorted to and he was
recaptured about o'clock the following
morning. For several months past com.
plants have been frequent from Clover
Valley of larcenies there both large and
small, but this is the first case in which
any arrests have been made.
The low grade ore bodies opened by
the P. G. Co. in the Day mine, and
which induced the purchase of the pro.
perty continue to improve and the guam.
tity is simply immense. The same ore
showing made by previous owners and
under the disadvantages to which they
were subject would have created but
little, If any comment, as the ore is of too
low grade to justify mining and working
alone. Now however it is mined and
used at the furnace here mainly as flux
and Justfiies extraction for that purpose.
The present proposed terminus of the
Pioche branch of the coming railroad
will be in the Valley some 10 or - miles
from the mine, all down hill, and the
road continued that distance up the
valley lon the line as now surve we'd
would bring it within two miles of the
property. 1t is not unlikely that this will
occur. Mr.. s. V. White having expressed
himself to that effect when here recently.
In that event the Day mine with the pre-
sent showing, though now valuable,
would easily become worth quarter of a
million.
The work of throwing up the grade on
the line of the railroad extension goes on
rather slowly due mainly to the fact that
only half the men needed for the work
are on the line. The hogging system by
the original contractors of discounts and
low pay is such that majority of the
men employed leave AS soon as they "get
out of the hole, by which is meant, get
out of debt to the contrac tors. It ia
somewhat dangerous for them to learn
before getting ''out of soak" and number
of personal encounters have occurred be |
tween contractors and men at different
times from this cause. The proposition |
now seems to be to get along without |
any particular regard to time and com.
plete the contract as they can.

HIGHLAND DIsTRIcT-Several prospects
IN highland District have recently chang
ed hands and the new owners intend to
oegin work at once. The approaching
railroad is the direct cause. The claims
OF highland District usually produce
ore OF too low grade to bear the ex.
pense OF shipment to Salt Lake though
the Lodges are large and ore abundant.
Inc District was very prominent one
IN the early 70's and will again become 80
