These mines assay nearly 500 in "copper"
gold and silver, aud the owners are de-
termined to go to the bottom of them.
The company will shortly incorporate,
and the working force will be increased
soon as the mines will permit.
The discovery of mineral by L. A. Snow
and William Bowden, while digging well
on the mountains east of rown, is attract
ing much attention and may yet prove
big thing. The first assay showed trace
of silver and trace of gold, and another
one Just received from Butte shows sew
eral ounces of silver and a heavy trace of
gold.
Rus. Richards is still hammering away
on some of his prospects, and the prospects
are he has got good thing.
Rees is too old d man aud has had too
much experience in mining to waste much
time On worthless prospects, and we expect
soon to see him digging out" shipping
ore.
Work on the Gold Peak mine, owned by
the Brigham City Mining company, has
been going steadily on all winter, and the
tunnel is now in 140 feet. This company
seems determined to see what they've got
and we hope it is good thing.
THR QUESTION OF wATERwoRKs.
streets for many days, and no doubt every
one will soon know all about each side of
the question, as it is one that has two sides.
Nearly everyone wants waIerWOrks, but
considerable difference is expressed as to
the ownership.
| Some claim, and quite properly, that the
city should own and control them, while
others want some incorporation to take tn e
matter in hand.
Talk is talk, when not idle chatter, but
on this question is useless, as waterworks
are ''go" next spring, and the city will
them in.
MOTOR LINE.
In pursuance to call made in the Bugler,
some two hundred and fifty people met in
the Second ward hall, to consider and de-
bate the question of the extension of the
motor line from the Warm springs to Brig
ham,
In behalf of the road Mr. La France, of
Ogden, explained the matter, and we are
pleased to say a very favorable impression
was made on the citizens in favor of the
road.
A committee was appointed to confer
with the officers of the road, and to ascer-
tain what inducements the city and bust
ness men would hold out.
The extension Of this road would mean
considerable for Brigham, and we do not
hesitate in saying the road will be built.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND NATURAL GAS.
The electric lights were turned on this
week, but owing to some difficulty with
the water power, did not burn to their full
capacity. This will all be remedied soon,
and the cleaning will be knocked out by
electric lights.
We understand the county court insists
upon the Union Pacific lighting the rail-
road crossing, and this means the extern
sion of the lights down Forest street to
the depot Good
A number of gentlemen were expected
up from Salt Lake this week to Investigate
our gas wells, but for some unknown cause
failed to 'show up" Come on, gentlemen,
we've got the jumbo gas wells in this
western country, and they'll bear investi-
CATION, too.
Personal, ETC.
Lucius Wilson was brought down from
Logan the other day i'll with pneumonia
and is now dangerously i'll. We hope soon
to hear of him taking a turn for the better
