New Town to BE Christened.

DE MORSE, Sept. 3O.-The name of the
new town, located On the old site of De
Morse, on Star & Bullock's ranch rear
the mouth of the Redwater, has not yet
been decided upon, but in a short time
the railroad company will hold an auc-
ton sale of lots, when it will in all
probability be christened Burt, after the
general manager of the Fremont, Elk
horn and Missouri Valley railroad. The
company is bringing water into the new
town from the old Mcclure ditch, taken
from Redwater, opposite Minnesota and
about three miles from the new town.
The fall in hat distance is sixty feet
and the supply to be brought to the
town 5000 miners inches. The houses
already built at Minnesota, about two
miles from the line Of railroad, will
most probably be moved to Burt, where
the company makes the generous prop
osition to allow the owners of buildings
lot for lot, or in other words give the
lot.

immigration of Mormons TO Arizona.

WASHINGTON, Oct 3.-The annual re-
port of the governor Of Arizona says in.
iustry mining is in a more healthy condi.
ton Than ever before. Great attention

Mormons now in the territory is esti-

the report states that unless restrictive
measures are adopted the territory will
become Mormonized to such an extent
as to seriously disturb society and the
