terminated fatally. They we're out in the

they stumbled into a treacherous mre, out
OF which they we're unable to extricate

mud until the greater portion of their body
was enveloped, when their shouts for help
were finally heard and help extended to the
swamped hunters. Boards were lain over
the mire and on these the rescuers worked
with shovels and ropes to extricate the

for, but before the boys arrived the doctors
were extricated after about two hours i'm

RuMBLEs OF THE RAILROADS.
The Phoebe Il Extension TO be Pushed
Nete and Personal.

The Salt Lake Tribune of the 2lst has
the following: News has been received
in this city from an Enthusiastically au-
thoritative source that the management
of the Union Pacific Railway has finally
decided to begin work on the Milford
Phoebe extension on the first of March.
The road has been graded from Milford
to Phoebe, distance of lao miles, but
the roadbed and rails only extend out
from Milford few miles. The most dif-
ficult part of the work of construction
has been completed, and it will only re-
ouire few months labor to place the
road in running order. So the good peo
pie of Phoebe need not be surprised If
they are awakened from their Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep by the shrill blast of loco
motive before snow flies next winter.
The country which the road will open up
to settlement and trade is of equal i'm.
portance to this city as the section o.
country the Deep Creek project will in
wade. Either will increase the trade o
this city to an incalculable extent ant
with both in operation Salt Lake Cit,
will soon become the greatest mining cen
ter and distributing point on the cont
nent.

DAY MINE.
The New Development There.

The new ore find in the Day mine
mentioned by US two weeks ago, has de-
veloped into magnificent thing itself,
and the end is not yet. The strike was
made above the old working tunnel level
on the west side of it and about 700 feet
from its mouth. The ore has been
drifted on for a distance of Is feet and
raised on for the same distance, and the
work is still going on. The walls
range from to IS feet apart and will
average 10 feet. The ore differs both in
appearance and analysis from the aver
age ore of the mine, containing to 10
per cent. silica, and will average 40 OF.
in silver per ton when knocked out and
no sorting. Picked samples range from
60 or to 600 ozs. per ton in silver.
+ In the tunnel also, which is going in
west of the main working tunnel and
parallel with it good ore was struck six
DAYS ago. In character it strongly re-
sembles that of the new strike. the vein
being as wide as three feet, with an av.
erage of IL inches. The ore here runs at
about 80 ozs. silver per ton. This tun-
mel is running toward the new strike and
will pass in under it but is yet 500 feet
distant The management are highly
pleased over the outlook.

Another Railroad.
nent.

Railway Register: John W. Young OF
Salt Lake City has notified the Utah
Central Railroad officials that he has sue.
ceeded in securing $50, 900, 900 in Ameri-
can capital pledged to build line from
Salt Lake to chihuahua, Mex. The pro-
posed route, as near as can be ascertained
is direct south through Utah, opening up
a territory hitherto untouched, thence
through Arizona, crossing the Rio Grande
at some point not yet decided upon. In
the original plan, which Young has for
mulated, the line will also extend north,
connecting with the Northern Pacific and
opening up hitherto undeveloped min
eral country. Whether or not the mon
ey pledged will be used in building this
line is not known. The advices from
New York are very meager, and the only
statement that can be obtained is from
those who have heard Young discuss his
plans. The money, however, is certain.

goes steadily ahead and it has now at
tanned depth Of nearly 300 feet. A
great deal of work is connected with it
however and month will probably
elapse before the lower workings are
tapped when the output of ore there can,
if necessary, easily be doubled. In the
other workings, the mine looks as well
as ever and new ore is being uncovered
every week.
