UTAH'S GOLD MINES.
The Richness Of the Placer Mines Not
Exaggerated.
People Are Rushing There in Droves-All
Available Conveyances Are Hired in
Acknowledges People.

DENVER, COL, Dec. 23.-[Special. Ito
say that all Colorado is interested over
the reports of new gold mines in southern
Utah it putting it mildly Reports from
Durango and other starting points say all
available convevances are hired in ad-
vance for a month ahead, people are so
eager to be first on the ground, and those
unable to obtain conveyances have
started on foot.
When it became known in Denver today
that S. F. Webner, general manager of
the Henrietta Milling and Mining COM
pany of Utah, that had been operating in
the Henry mountains for the past few
years, was stopping in the city, the rush
of people to see him equalled in hunters
and enthusiasm the reception rendered
President Harrison on his visit here.
Mining prospectors with gray hairs and
the tenderfoot from the east elbowed and
jostled each other to get an interview with
Webner. Finally the distinguished
visitor was compelled to make state
ment to all his callers to the effect that he
exceedingly regretted that the news had
become so public, that he and the men he
represented desired to keep all news from
the public about the extraordinary wealth
of Utah placers.
AS it had become public without his
sanction, and seeing SO many old timers
whose faces he recollected he could not
refrain from stating that all that had been
said about the richness of the new coun-
try was no exaggeration. That the CHI
mate was as balmy as California and that
the prospects seemed as bright as the
famous Comstock mines.
"Boys,n he said, .'go along at once

brave manner in which they came to the
rescue. The heroic work of Conductor
w. S. Ammon is especially worthy of
mention and the injured that are at the
Alamo were unanimous in their praise OF
him.
The Van Leon family were especially
unfortunate. Will, aged fourteen and
Bert aged twelve were fatally injured Blu
the family sustained serious loss financi-
ally. Mrs. Van Leon said eve were on
our way to Oakland, Cal. We were in
the day coaches and were making our
selves comfortable for the night when
suddenly the coach turned over and it is
hard to tell just what happened next.
The cries and groans of the wounded to-
gether with the smoke from the burning
car made indescribable confusion. Fin
ally the door was burst open and we were
helped out. Ny two boys were then I'M
conscious and my little girl Myrtle could
not be found. A man found her under
seat and brought her out. The waist of
my dress was torn off. In it was $500 in
cash and gold watch which were lost in
the fire. My husband, my mother and
myself fortunately received only small
bruises

VERY RICH SAND.
This Is Evidenced by the Fact that No
NEinars Have Raturned

This Is Evidenced by the Fact that No
Miners Have Returned
DENVER, Dec. 23.-The greatest gold
fever that has stricken Colorado since
Ruby and California gulch diggings drew
thousands of miners into those camps has
now complete possession of the west.
Here as well as in every camp in Colo

nothing talked of except the new placer

is estimated that 800 miners will have left
these points for the Ell Dorado.
mining men in almost every town are
clubbing together and Offering big in
ducementS to professional prospectors to
visit the mines. At Albuquerque, N.
M, and other points along the Atlantic
& Pacific railway the excitement is in
tense and railway officials and clerks have
thrown up their positions. and headed
great army of gold hunters.
The fact that of many who have al
ready gone into this country none have
returned is strong evidence that the sand
is rich enough to keep them there. New
stage lines have been established from
Albuquerque, Pennington and Winslow,
along the line of the Atlantic & Pacific
railway, and also from Durango and
Dolores, Colo, on the line of the Denver
& Rio Grande.
The gold fields are probably most ac-
cessible by way of the latter points, which
are only ninety miles from them and 100
miles shorter than the other routes. A
stage runs by way of Bluff city, U. t.,
which is now nearest the settlement.

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
A Free Coinage Measure to be Pushed to

A Free Coinage Measure to be Pushed to
the Front.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-There is to be
an organized effort in the House after the
holidays to bring about some sort of
financial legislation. It will probably
take shape in an attempt to repeal the
Sherman law. Opponents of free coinage
believe this daily menacing of securities
of The government is inevitably leading to
gigantic losses. On the other hand,
friends of silver, not less active, expect to
see a free coinage bill forging to the front
before many days of the new year have
passed. Mr.. Stewards amendment to the
bill of Mr.. Hill, which provides fora re-
peal of the Sherman act, makes that
measure practically q free coinage bill.
Mr.. Stewart thinks that when it comes to
vote it will pass.

Surgeon-G eneraI Wyman Talks Upon the
Subject.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Surgeon-Ge
Wyman, of the Marine Hospital service,
in answer to questions as to the danger Of
temperance of cholera the coming
summer, said: HsTwo factors renders the
situation serious. One is the appearance
of fresh cases in Hamburg, and the other
the continued prevalence OF the disease
in Russia. Great care has been exercised
to prevent its gaining foothold on this
side of the Atlantic. A speedy passage of
a bill giving clearly defined powers TO
make precautionary regulations, with
sufficient appropriations to make them
effective, is extremely desirable. Despite
efforts to stop immigration from injected
countries, emigrants from these countries
persist in their efforts to reach the United
States.
There is also danger OF cholera reaching
the United States from the island of Cuba
because OF close commercial intercourse
between Cuba and Spain, and oUher
European ports. Regulations OF the cir
cular of Aug. 10, regarding the importa
ton of rags, Mr.. Wyman said, would be
enforced, all reports to the contrary not
withstanding.

BLAINE is IMPROVING.
The Family Are Very sanguine ana Now
Hope for the Best.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-News from Mr..
Blaine this morning is more cheerful than
at any time this week. He shows favor
able symptoms heretofore absent. He is
more cheerful ano little stronger, pulse
better, temperature lower and takes nour-
ishment better.
All callers were told that Mr.. Blaine
was very much better. Color is given to
the statement that the Blaine family are
more sanguine by the fact that Mrs.
Emmons Blaine went over to New York
yesterday. Several Others were out at
various times today, and it is evidence
that they feel that the invalid is enjoying
at least a temporary respite, and that
they hope for the best. The president
continues to manifest the warmest SYM
pathy for the ex-secretary.
1t is stated that Cardinal Gibbons had
been telegraphed to visit Mr.. Blaine. 1t
will be remembered that the cardinal
called on Mr.. Blaine when in this city a
week ago last Monday, but the ex-secre-
tary was not sufficiently strong to talk.
The improvement in Mr.. Blaine's condi-
ton is such that he could now probably
be permitted to talk.
At midnight DIR. Johston has just
returned to his residence from Blaine s
bedside and found the patient quite as
well as at any time during the day. The
rumor prevailing that members of the
family teiegraphey for Cardinal Gibbons
is unfounded.
The light is turned off at this Satur-
day morning in Mr.. Blaine's appointments
and there is every prospect OF quiet
night.

THE NEWS IN DENVER.
Santa Fe Omcials Very Reticent and Give
No information

Santa Fe Officials Very Reticent and Give
No Information.
DENVER, Dec. 23.-TSpecial. Nothing
could be learned at the general offices of
the Santa Fe in this city regarding the
wreck. This morning an operator was
present but he protested the densest ig-
norance. J. H. Hall, the Colorado pass
enger agent, is out of the city and no in
formation was to be obtained in that
Office. The wrecked train consisted of an
express and baggage car, day coach and
sleeper. Most of the berths We're occu-
pied. The express car was filled with
matter and was in charge of ]. N. Corbin,
Wells Fargo express messenger. who
lives in Highland.
This morning Superintendent Stubs
OF the express company, received the fol-
lowing message from Corbin:
81 am all right. Car saved. Tell my
wife"
In speaking OF the accident, railroad
man said: This is bad for Hartman, the
superintendent of this division. He has
had lots of bad luck this season. He was
in Denver yesterday and, guess, left the
city last night on the Inflated train. .
Superintendent Hartman was in Denver
yesterday. 1t is learned that he was on
the ''Nellie 'Blye,' instead of No s.
He has headquarters at Pueblo, but as
soon as news of the wreck reached him he
at once proceeded to the spot and put
forth every effort for the relief and com
fort of the passengers.
The Hon. Late Pence. congressman
elect, who was on the train with his wife,
had started for Los Vegas.
For some time he has been confined to
his house by illness, and has been pre-
pairing for week to go south. He was to
have started on Wednesday but was de-
layed till last night, when ne started
south to remain for two or three weeks.
A dispatch from Mr.. Pence this afternoon
states that neither he nor his wife were
injured.
The Santa Fe No. z due in Denver at
7:30 a. m. arrived at 11:35 with the be-
lated passengers of No. 9.
The train came over the Rio Grande
track. Passengers who came in related
that the train passed in sight of the
h4OShSu 1da1A anu dill oAd1 Was SlduulHS
on the track was the engine and the ex-
press car. The smoking ruins of two of
the cars were seen and the pullman was ly-
ing upon its side, having rolled down the
embankment- The conductor taking it
out last night was W. S. Ammon.
Hall. the local agent of the Santa Fe,
has received but little information regard
ing the wreck. His statement was that the
train was wrecked about two miles from
Spring station and that six or seven were
injured, none of them seriously.
This seems to be the substance of all
that has come to his Office regarding the
wreck.

FATHER 1rGLYNN BE-lNsrATED.
A Famous Case settled by HIonseignor
satolIi in Washington.

Famous Case settled by DIonseignor
satolIi in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The famous
case of Father McGlynn has finally been
decided by the restoration to him of au-
thority to perform his priestly functions.
Settlement of the case comes within the
scope of general power vested in Mon
seignor Satolli, papal iegate, and the de-
cision was promulgated by him tonight at
the Catholic university, where he is stop-
ping. Father BurtzelIe has been plead
ing McGlynn's case for some days and
Monseignor Satoli issued a statement to
McGlynn of concessions required to be
made by him in order that his plea might
receive favorable consideration. Mon
seignor Satolli issued the following to-
night:
ITO end the many contradictory tele-
grams sent out it is thought expedient to
state that at 9 o. clock p. m. DIR. Mcc4lynn
was declared free from ecclesiastical cen
sureSand restored to the exercise of his
priestly functions, after having satisfied
the pope's legate on all points in his
case.'' Whether or not McGlynn will
return to his old fold is not yet known.

Alaska SEAL RookERIEs.
Captain Healey's Report Is Submitted to
the Authorities

Captain Healey's Report Is Submitted to
the Authorities.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Captain Healey,
of the United States revenue cutter Bear,
reports his arrival at San Francisco from
Alaska. He says that the present system
regarding seal rookeries is Intellectual.
The rough weather that prevails about
the islands prevents revenue cutters from
approaching the shore close enough to be
of any service. If they go close enough
for service they run imminent risk
of being dashed to pieces upon the shore
and wrecked. The darkness that pre-
walls for sixteen to eighteen hours out of
the twenty -four increases the risks run
and prevents those afloat from seeking
marauders.
Even with all these obstacles one vessel
can only guard one coast. He thinks a
police patrol OF sufficient strength should
be stationed on shore and patrol the
coast. & vessel, too, should be kept
there to act in conjunction with the land
guards.

THE AMNESTY MATTER.
President Harrison VIII Not Issue the
Promised Proclamation,
But viii Let 1t Go Over This Administra-
tion-This Is the story Senator
Shoup Tells.

WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-[special. i
Senator Shoup of Idaho does not believe
that President Harrison will issue a
proclamation granting amnesty to the
disfranchised polygamists in Utah and
the other territories. When 1 asked him
this evening upon what he predicted this
belief, he replied frankly that ne could
give no satisfactory reason; that he had
not talked with President Harrison re-
garding the proclamation but that in a
general way he did not think the presi-
dent would take any action in the matter.
He thinks President Harrison will let it
go over until the next administration,
thus permitting Mr.. Cleveland to issue
the proclamation should ne so desire.

PARIS, Dec. 23.-The Deacous were in
court again today on account of their eld-
est child, Gladys. Mr.. Deacon had APP
piled for permission from the court to
have the child with him during the holt

vigorously opposed the motion. After
the arguments the judge decided that Mr..
Deacon could have Gladys from 10 am. to

looks upon it as victory for himself, yet
he declines to accept the courts decision
and says he will apply to courts in the
