The Brigham City Mines.

Late laat evening Nels Hansen returned
from prospecting tour among the hills of
Hot Springs He found something prom
lsing, he said, and sent specimens of the
surface ore to Butte for assay. From all
appearances it looks as though only few
years can elapse before the mountains
around Brigham City will be perforated
with paying mines and swarming with
hardy miners. Every foot OF ground is be-
Ing prospected and numerous rich finds
have been made.
Some Of our Brigham boys are consid-
ersoly exercised over u report just received
from La Plata, to the effect that some
bull headed "cuss' had jumped their Red
Warrior" Our boys ought to have
enough native wit not to own warrior
unless he has the ''git-up" to fight his own
battles and hold at bay all interlopers
Warriors, generally, are able to protect
themselves, but, 1t appears, our tenderfoot
miners have the wrong kind on their
hands this pop.
Several officers of the Brigham City
Mining Co. visited the Gold Peak claim in
Box Elder canyon Tuesday afternoon
The work on lhe mine is progressing
nicely. The tunnel has now reached a
depth of sixty to seventy feet. A man
can walk in fifty feet without removing
his hat. The ground is easy TO work but
little powder Icing used. The prospects
look encouraging for tapping the upper
ledge within the next ten days. Tale is
being encoun cred in quantities. The
miners say the ore will be found in pockets.
The ground, they say, resembles Tintic iu-
dicatlons more than any other place they
ever saw. Some promising specimens will
soon be sent down for assay.-Brigham

Brooklyn Threatened With a Water yam,r


NEW YoKK, Nov. 23,-As result of the
of the big break in the conduit in east New
York Saturday afternoon, by which four
men were killed, Brooklyn is on the verge
of water famine. There is scarcely
enough water in Ridgewood reservoir to
last even with the utmost care, over twelve
or thirteen hours The situation will be
serious by this afternoon unless something
Is done before then to remedy it. Heroic
measures were adopted to make the pres
emit supply Of water last as long as possi-
bic, or until relief comes and number of
great Industries in the city will be at a
standstill Tor al least one day. All factor
les using water have been ordered To shut
down, so as 10 save water for the nece SSH
ties OF the general public. The great engine
which runs the cable on BROOKLYN
bridge has been stopped, and as many peo-
PIE as possible are being showed across the
bridge by locomotives. All fires under
boilers at the Brooklyn navy yard are out
and work entirely suspended. Water is
shut off from the boilers in all the hotels
ana once buildinga, and as a consequence
not an elevator in the whole city is running
this morning. Work ii every factory
where steam is depended on for the motive
power is suspended, and the number of
those thrown out of work runs far above
fifty thousand. 1t is hoped repairs can he
completed by tonight, but well Informed
persons say the work cannot be finished
before to morrow noon at the earliest
Before noon fire broke out in q three-
story and basement brown stove house at

The Merchants, License.

The new license schedule will come up
for consideration in the city council this
evening. 1t is thought few more amend
ments will be made. Whether the para
graph abolishing The merchants license
will pass is matter of doubt 1t is under
stood that Lynn is preparing to wage
vigorous war against its passage, and that
he will be supported by other Liberal
members. Moreover. it is thought
that POLAND, whose head is usually
level, will be found on the
wrong side of this question.
He has been labored with, but cannot see
the error Of his ways. His main argument
is that 'the city needs the money, andif it
doesn't come out of the merchants, who do
good business and can afford TO pay the
tax, it must come from the peo-
pie st large. Besides, if the
merchants license is abolished, mora
stores will spring up and thus cut dow IL
the profits of those now in existence. AS
it now stands. the license is protection to
those engaged in business in this city,"

A BOLD ROLD-UP
a Footpad Shoots at Victim Who Starts
to Run

AT o'clock yesterday evening a man
walking west on South Temple street, near
the Valley house, was held up by foot
pad. The street was lively with people at
the time, but that did not in the least dis
turb the confidence Of the thug, who prob
ably knew from experience that in this
city his vocation could be practiced with
IMMUNITY. The victim must have known also
that his only safety lie in his legs, and 80
he started to run. This did not suit the
assailant, who promptly fired at the fleeing
man bringing him to an abrupt halt. But
the bullet brought several other people TO
halt at the same time and as soon as they
discovered what WAS the matter they gave
chase to the footpad, who, however, es-
capped in the dark alley and being armed
was not molested beyond that.
