than to refuse q drink OF whisky ; they
are always drunk and sparring for
more. How they manage, the Lord

they are fed and kept comparatively
full of liquor by some one. At nights
they swarm TO the fire and lights Of

A LINE.
The rio Grande western to Build
she Road.

A railroad man Intimately acquaint-
ed with the workings Of the Rio
Grande system, who has recently
been in Salt Lake and understands
the situation, said: "What the Rio
Grande people have planned in the
way OF railroad extension is considered
by the engineers to be in every way
feasible. They will not build from
Salt Lake City, but will utilize their
Tintic branch, crossing the great
American desert near its lower apex,
and running staight to the Deep Greek
Mining District, where there are rich
gold and silver mines, the shipment Of
ore from which will afford them q
good local business. From Deep
Creek they will run to Eureka, New,
the terminus of the Eureka q Palisade
railroad, which runs north from Eu-
reka to the Central Pacific. Then
they will build on toward Austin, the
southern terminus OF the Nevada
Central, which also joins the Central
Pacific. In this way they will take a
good deal of business from the Central
Pacific, as its rates on ore from those
points to Salt Lake, where it is sent to
be smelted, are very high. BY cut
ting the rates the Rio Grande would
get a great deal OF this business, and
would make much money. From
Austin the road will run down to Can
delaria on the Carson and Colorado
railway, crossing that line and then
going through a pass in the mount
aims not far from Bodie, reaching
down to Oakdale and then on to Oak
land and San Francisco.
"The Rio Grande can get plenty of
money to build this line, even should
San Francisco refuse to lend helping
hand. 1t is making money. Few
western roads show a higher ~precent-
age of passenger earnings to the train
mile. The last annual report shows
that those earnings were 81 80 q mile
or s48 a car for every a hauled"

A Peculiar suit Threatened.

The New York Evening World says
Unless a compromise is effected,
Russell Sage will probably be made
defendant in a most novel suit. Pre-.
liminary steps have been taken, be-
ing an action against the millionaire
for heavy damages for having used
clerk w. r. Laidlaw to shield himself
when Norcross, the dynamiter, ex.
ploded his bomb in Sage's office. II
is understood the amount Of damages
to be claimed has been placed at
500, 900. The suit is to be based
upon the allegation that the millionaire
deliberately held the clerk between
himself and the menacing dynamiter,
with the result that Sage's life was
saved at the expense of horrible injury
to Laidlaw.

UTAH. population and wealth.

The population Of Utah, by the GEN.
sus of 1890, as corrected. is 207 ,905.
From the Governors report for the
year 1891 it appears that since the
census enumeration was made, as
shown by the Assessors returns for
1891, there are nov 210, 1852 people in
the Territory, an increase over last
year Of 1857. He suggests that the
Assessors returns show that Q num-
Der of precincts are missing, and
he estimates the population to be
about $1,000. The immigration to
the Territory during the past year was
about 1900 and came mainly from
English and Scandinavian countries.
The increase in the value of property
Of cities and towns over 1890, as shown
by the assessment rolls, is 1877 per
cent. The total assessed value Of
property, real and personal, was in
1890 $l04, 758, $50, and in 1891 $121,-
l46,64S 81, or 1865 per cent during
the year.

pany's Property.
He Has a Block Of Stock and
Wants to Know
It's Value.
h Company's attorneys Dsmur to the
Application and wre Sustained
BY Judge Buck.

Judge Buck sustained a demurrer to an
application yesterday for an examination
and inspection OF the we'll known Mac
mine south OF Helena and which il owned
by the Mao Mining and Milling company.
The application was made by b. +. Forbes,
AZ trustee for Fannie Forbes. and Ia part of
some litigation which has been going on In
the district court of Lewis and Clarke
county for several months. A suit was
commenced by Forbes to recover the value
OF his p'orata share OF 10000 shares of tho
stock of the company. which was l 1872
shares. According to his statement the
capital stock of 10000 shares had oil
been issued since Dec. /. 1891, except 49, 0
shares which were held In trust, to be used
in development work. or this mount 90
600 shares we're set apart by the trustees for
snle to stockholders at five cents per share
and the proceeds used in development
work.. Forbes alleges in his complaint that
he did o get his pro rata share OF this
and that he was willing to buy it at
the price named.
Forbes made an application. as trustee,
for the examination of the Mac and the
Little Mac or Gold Bug lodes, on the ground
of his interest in the company. In it he
claimed that the agents of the company ex-
cluded him from the property, and that it
was necessary, for the protection of his
rights and interests that m examination
should be made of the shafts. tunnels. ore,
etc.. of the mine. He served notice on the
company of all this but was refused an in
speotion. He asked the court to appoint A.
A. Lathrop and Harry Richards, or Who
ever the court should designate. to make
the examination. Forbes represents Ia, 600
shares in the company and alleged that 1t
was impossible to determine the value of
the stock without an examination and in
speotion of the mine, and that during the
period from Dec. /. 1891, up to the time of
commencing the suit there was no market
value for the shares.
