THE TAX LEVY.
Reason for Its Being a Little
Higher This Year Than Last.

reason Tor It's being lnUtle
Higher This Year Than Last.
Tie board of tax levy met at the
court house yesterday afternoon, and
did some heroic trimming to keep the
levy down to the limit decided as the
proper figure. A. T. Ankeny stated 10
the beginning that the board of educd-i
ton could not get along with less than
mills 1t needed that, and could not
do the work of the city in the line of
education with less. He wanted 3.5 if
he could get it. Then the board began
its work. After it had gone over a y
the demands and done some judicioUs
cutting it was found that the levy was.
still just 40 of mill too high. They
had to do it all over again. The board
of education lost its $40 of mill, and
ITO of mill each was taken from the
board of corrections and charities and
the library board. That brought the
levy down to the limit, and it was
adopted in this form:

This is an increase over the levy of
last year. Then the board was so
anxious to lower the levy for political
reasons that it left the city-no money to
work with TO advantage and no margin
at all. The ward rate this year is
little lower than last. as the following
will show:

MINNEAPOLIS,
NOTE AND COMMENT.

Senator Washburn seems to be afraid
that some of these popular hustling
Democrats might steal from him some
of the glory of bringing the Republican
convention to Minneapolis if they were
allowed to 30 on that committee. The
senator need never fear. The Demo
Gratis can get along without that com
mIttee as we'll as the committee can get
along without them.
c. Nee Reeve seems to feel bad be-
cause the people of Minneapolis are
letting out roar at the malcontents he
says: "If that amount" meaning the
$4,000 already appropriated, us not in
creased in some way We" meaning the
commission, will all resign" That is
Just what the people kick about, Mr.
Reeve. They say that y,u knew there
was but $4,000 when you accepted a
place on the commission, and have
shown no disposition TO do your duty
and spend what has been appropriated
to the best advantage. They say that
yOueShOuld not have accepted the place
of commissioner if you were not Will
ing to get along with $4,000.

"Talk about your reliable railroads. ;"
said Passenger Agent Dunn, of the
Northwestern road, lone Of our
conductors tells story which shows
how reliable road may become in the
eyes of the people. On the run up from
Chicago one OF the passengers had evil
IDENTITY forgotten to wind his watch. He
had a time table of our road IN his
hand. and, turning to a gentleman who
was seated in the seat back of him, he
asked him what station the train was
just pulling into. He looked at the
time table, saw what time the train was
due, and very gravely set his watch by
it. That's the kind of record that we
have got"

sickness OF two days, in which he endured
the most horrible agonies. His statement
wss that he took soup at his diuner on the

Breaking Up q Camp.

This mine, located near mountain-top
on Deer Creek, about six miles above
Bottoms springs, employs from twenty
five to thirty men. Last Monday morning,
during the wind-up of the great snowstorm,
it was voted dangerous by the miners to
remain longer in camp, and prepare
tlons were made for an early departure.
They did not form into ranks until
near o'clock, when they all started out,
with the exception of ona man and two
Cinnamon, on this long and perilous march,
They went in single Tile, first one in the
lead and then another, the foremost hav-
ing to break the snow as they went. Before
reaching Bottoms they came to numerous
slides on the way which had descended the
same day, and they all felt rejoiced at hav-
ing started so late, as the storm had sub
sided somewhat and the weather had
turned to freezing point, preventing any
further slides. Upon reaching Boil
toms springs they were rejciced to
find four-hors bob-sled sent up to their
relief by Superintendent True. But even
then, it was a rough, cold and dreary ride
down to Haley they having to walk in
many places where the road had been OBJ
structed by slides. They reached Haley
about 8 o'clock at night, cold, hungry and
exhausted. Some few who live in Belle
vue came down on the train the same
night, reaching nome about IL o'clock.
Angus McPhee and john Furey were of
the latter number, and it need not be said
that their families were greatly rejoiced
on their arrival.
The weather having become cold and
clear since that time, the company has had
a road broken to the mine, and will DOS
sioly resume operations by to day.
1t is not presumed that there will be any
further danger during the balance of the
winter, as the snow was very damp and
heavy and settled down hard The hard
freeze coming on since, will encrust and
fasten the snow so thai it will be impos-
sible TO slice, unless another heavy fall is
deposited on the present crust.-Bellepue

ITEMS FROM IDAHO.
The Deadly Snowsllde Gets in its
Work at Gilmore.
GREAT DAMAGE BEING DON
Mining Camp Broken Up and Homewar,
Rush Made-General News Of
the State

For week or more, up to Tuesday last,
1T showed in Gilmore almost continuously.
The first few days the fall was dry and
light, but the temperature moderated and
thereafter flakes as big as silver dollar
and as heavy as a 40 ap-iack descended
thick and fast. This fact caused many old
timers to anticipate slides and to use due
precaution against danger, and a number
of families took refuge for the time being
at the Alturas hotel, which is considered
not only secure but very hospitable place
at all seasons of the year.
Sunday night about 10 80 o'clock as Foley
ceeding home, and when opposite the Bulle-
tin office, they were startled by the rum
bling and crashing sound of the first ava
lanche which came down the mountain side
south OF town. They hurriedly retraced
their steps few rods, and then discovered
that the Chinese wash house at the rear of
Lawyer McCarry's Office was completely
hid from sight, and they Immediately gave
alarm. 1t was not long before many willing
hands were at work to rescue the two
| inmates OF the wash house. The
Cinnamon had retired for the night,
and the one resting in the front part of the
building was fortunately dashed through
the wreck and landed in the creek, where
he was soon found and rescued. The other
Chinaman was found, after two hours hard
work, Wedged in his bunk and surrounded
by timbers which doubtless prevented him
from smothering. He was taken out ap-
parently uniniured but badly frightened.
The house was carried about thirty feet
from its foundation and is total wreck.
On the point just above the Chinese
quarters stood log house belonging to
Jake Ulrich, which had experienced the
blasts of twenty winters or more, but it
is not there now, and the Bulletin man is
daily kindling fires with shingles from it's
roof, that unceremoniously entered his
woodshed at the rear of the Office This
house was unoccupied.
The slide extended to the lower end of
town, but fortunately did no very serious
domage. The rear end of Mel Campbell's
old store-house was badly shaken up, and
the warehouse adjoining was completely
telescoped.
The same night a snow slide occurred at
the Mountain Goat mine which demolished
the boiler house and the blacksmith shop,
but did not iniure the boarding house.
Monday, about II o'clock, a big slide came
down the mountain side east of Chinatown,
but did no harm to person or property.
MONDAY AFTERNOON several small slides &C.
Cured between the Gilmore mill and town.
No damage was done by these save the
carrying away of small vacant house,
formerly occupied by Mr. Ehrgood.
The storm we presume was general all
over the west, and railroad blockades may
occur for some time to come.
Tuesday the blessed sunshine once more
greeted US, and we hope old Sol will not
again desert US for atleast months to come.
We are sick of beautiful snow'-which is
now about four feet in depth on the level.
Friday evening-indications of more

Few have any idea of the difficulty of
finding mine, says the Denver Affnino
Journal. A man who follows it for a living
must thoroughly understand the nature of
the district III which he is. Different sorts
OF mines are found in different WAYS. If
you are in placer district, of course YOU
have nothing to do except to walk along a
stream with pan in your hand and test the
soil by washing till you come to pay dirt
But If you know nothing about it you will
waste deal of time testing dirt that an
experienced prospector could tell at a
glance contained no gold. In a true
assure or contact district the experienced
prospector will walk along the bottom of
the gulches looking for ''foat," although
he expects to find the mine way up the
mountain side The float is vein matter
which breaks off with the settling of the
mountain and rolls down it's side. The
prospector who is acquainted with the dis
trlct KNOWS 1t at once, and when he finds it
climbs the mountain till he ascertaips
where it came from. A tenderfoot would
never know what it was. But sometimes
ne strikes it richer than anybody. The
Silent Friend mine at Pitkin, Colo, which
showed nine root vein of solid galena at
the grass roots, was found by two Swede
railroad hands, who didn't know what
the mineral was, and gave away
three fourths of their interest before
they discovered its value Experienced
prospectors had been over the ground
thousands of times, but there were no ex-
ternal evidences of the lead. The Swedes
found it by rolling boulder down,the
mountain. The mineral cropped out from
the place where the boulder had been. The
great carbonate fields of Leadville were
iouna by man who was thought insane
for sinking shaft where there were no
external evidences of mineral. He found
the carbonate in blanket vein'' living
level as sheet of water great distance
below the ground. A regular prospector
would never have sunk a shaft there But
where one tenderfoot strikes it in that wav
hundred thousand get broke and 90

Electric Cars and Snow Storms.

The late unusually heavy snow storms
have been very trying on the street car
lines, but on the whole, the electric cars
have come through the ordeal very well,
especially where the management of the
road had been wise enough to include snow
plows and sweepers in the equipment Of
course, in some places the cars had to stop
running, the deep snow obliterating the
tracks for while, but as other
means of travel underwent stoppage
also, Including steam locomotion,
the fact is not at all to their disadvantage.
Besides, the point has been emphasized in
more than one city that, while the horses
were ''eating their heads off, during the
blockade, the electric plant, if shut down,
was on very economical basis, and, if in
part operation, was generating power in
exact proportion to the demand for it.
Another point brought out by the visitation
has been that the single trolley roads have
stood up much better than the double. 1t is
reported that in Cincinnati the short cir
cutting on the double trolley road played
havoc with the motors. 1t really looks as
though the single trolley advocates had now
carried the day most decisively Electric

A DEAD DUCK.
Coal Miners Leaving ScOfield for
Castle Gate.
1t Looks as If the Winter Quarters Mines We're
to Be AbandOned-FOr Time
at Least

Our Scofield correspondent says that
town is dead duck. The mines in Pleasant
valley have only been worked about one
third of the time since New Years day,
and the indications now are that they will
be closed down entirely and the force con
centrated at Castle Gate. About ninety
men left Scotield last month and some
thirty-tive or forty go to Castle Gate on the
1st of March.
Wages are also being cut down. 'sFrom
what L can now learn" says our informant,
wages will soon be so low as to make ii
impossible for men with families to live
here. Single men may be able to scratch
along. The snow is quite deep and it is
still descending. With no work and large
outlook is very blue, indeed"

Mineral In the Southeast.

But few people outside of the territory
OF Utah realize the extent Of our mineral
resources. Particularly is this true con-
corning the eastern and southeastern por-
tons OF the territory where mineral of al
most every kind exists and where are To-
Gated the most extensive coal fields in the
United States, with perhaps the single ex-
ception of the state of PENNSYLVANIA. We
say perhaps the state of Pennsylvania can
lead US in her coal resources, but consider
ing the amount of coal now in sight in
eastern Utah cropping out of the mountain
Lodges for miles and the indications oflaree
veins IN nearly every part of the Roam and
Wasatch ranges Of mountains, the question
of our taking second place is an open one.
Beginning at point near Grand juno
ton, Colo, there is deposit of coal almost
continuous, running through Grand and
Emery counties to Schofeld and south to
Salina canon, over two hundred miles in
extent.
1t also runs through Uintah county. there
being good coal mines as far as the Ashley
valley near Vernal, lbs miles from Price
In great many places two and three veins
are discovered, varying in thickness from
to 16 feet.
T1e different tests that have been
made prove that the most OF the coal to
be found here will coke and the coke
that is turned out by the Pleasant
Valley Coal company at Castle, Gate is of
very fine quality. There is just one more
thing needed to make eastern Utah good
manufacturing district, and that is iron.
Some good iron ore has been discovered in
the San Rafael range southeast of Price
but as the mines have not been opened up'
the quantity that exists cannot be est,
mated.
Only short time will these lands re-
main unoccupied. Soon the opportunities
TO acquire fortunes will be seized by men
Of capital, and the coal and iron living in
these hills will be utilized.-Price Teieoroph,
