Extensive improvements Under Way-Amuse-
ments-Mining and Other Notes.
The Metropolitan stone quarry company
is rustler as testified to by the numerous
improvements now going on. The first
and main one is the extension of a switch
from the main line of the Utah Central
track TO its upper and lower quarries, en-
bracing in all about one and three quarters
Ililes OF track. Thenext Improvement, for
which the contract has been let, is the
erection OF dining room, which will be
20x40 feet, with a kitchen annex, being
1Sx26 feet. An Office will be built to be
2OX35 feet and bunk house for the men,
20X60 feet and will be two-story. The main
feature OF these buildings is that they Will
be built entirely of stone, foundation and
wall. The inside fittings of wood will be
done by Jack Pape, the contractor, while
the walls of the buildings will be done by
the company Itself. The company now has
a force of twenty-five men and thirteen
teams at work on the grading for the
switch. In addition to the buildings al
ready mentioned there will be built
stable, 20X40 feet When the switch will
have been completed the company will put
about fifty quarrymen at work. The
switches are being put IN by Mr.. Murphy,
who, it will be remembered, was the fore
man of the Pixies Peak route. There are
now four cars OF 40-pound rails in transit
to the quarry. The Work will be pushed
as rapidly as possible.
BENEDICT, THE ILLUsIoNIsT.
Benedict, the man of mystery, gave a
performance last evening at the Park
opera house. which was well attended. Mr.
Benedict, while being somewhat out of the
usual run Of Slight. of hand performers, in
that his tricks are very mystifying and
some of them new, the performance, as
usual with that kind of an exhibition, is
! hardly worth any criticism, with the posi-
! bic exception OF his vanishing lady.n
! This trick is something on the same plan as
| Herman's trick of the Same name, aud also
on the order of Paul HursFs cocoon"
trick. Taking IL all together the perform
ance was very satisfactory. BY mistake
THE HERALD yesterday said the perform
ance had been instead Of would be held as
| it was.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Manager Mclaughlin has long been
noted for the attractions he books at mis-
house, and the list as seen for the holiday

ular DEVILS Auction and for the 18th of

sary to say anything about, as their names
