Our Diamond Fields.

The press all over the country is
full of accounts about the Idaho
diamond fields, most of which are
sensational and calulated to mis-
lead the public. The Avalanch,
u paper published at Silver City,
probably the nearest point to the
reported Eldorado, has this to say
on the subject "There is more
than ordinary interest shown in
the supposed diamond discoveries
in this county, by people from
neighboring counties. Perhaps
their is less interest in this county
than elsewhere. Last evening
County Recorder Leonard received
three locations for record, and more
ere expected. The fact that SINH
lar excitement over the same stones,
located in the same locality, in the
early days, tends to make skeptics
Of most Of our population. We
cannot say there are no diamonds
there, and will be glad to chronicle
that their presence is an established
fact. The fields are located within
fifteen miles Of Silver City, and
parties are preparing to visit it."

the question whether Governor
Willey's or the constitutional ap
portionment was legal, the court

The Death Of the Old Year.

FUN knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are weafily signing
Toll We the chnrch-bell sad and slow
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies A-dying.
Old year, you must not die;
You came to us SO readily.
You lived with us so steadily,
Old YeAF, you shall not die.
He lieth still: he doth not move:
He will not see the dawn of day.
lie hath no other life above
He gave me friend and true true-love,
And the New-year will take EN- away.
Old year, you must not go;
80 long as you have been with us.
Such JOY as you have seen with US,
Old year, you shall not 60:
He frothed his bumpers to the brim
A ]Ollier year We shall not see.
But. though his eyes are waxing dim,
And though his foes speak i'll Of him,
He was friend to me.
Old year, you shall not die;
We did SO laugh and cry with you,
I've half mind to die with you,
Old year, if yop must die.
How hard he breathes! over the snow
l heard just now the Growing COCK.
The shadows flicker to and fro;
The cricket chirps; the light burns low:
IT'S nearly twelve O'Clock.
Shake hands before you die.
Old year. we'll dearly rue for YOU
What is it we can do for you?
Speak out before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin.
Alack our friend is gone.
Close up his eyes; tie up his chin;
Step from the corpse, and let him in
That standeth there alone,
And waiteth at the door,
There's new foot on the floor. my friend
And new face at the door. my frieno,
A new face at the door.

Aspen Mines Close.

The climax Of the fear of the
mines in Colorado closing down
has been reached. Last Monday
500 miners We're paid off and noti
fed that their services would no
longer be needed. The news Of the
shutting down OF the mines has
been studiou>!y kept out of the
papers, and the information was
brought to Salt Lake by gentle
man who was an eye witness to the
men receiving their last checks. 1t
is believed that the action was taken
to force the men TO resume work
for reduced wages, or whistle for
grub. Trouble is apprehended.

IT Is related that there was one
man smart enough to get ahead OF
Jay Gould in the stock market.
His name was Samuel J. Tilden.
He had $4,000 shares of Union
Pacific stock, and decided to sell it.
Gould desired to sustain the stock,
and the fact that it was Tilden who
was selling was concealed from him
by borrowing shares and paying
hundreds of dollars a day for their
use. After Tilden had sold his
$4,000 shares for three million dol
lars, the borrowed shares were
taken up and replaced by those
bearing Til6en's name. The stock
went down with a rush, and two
Gould firms of brokers were forced
into insolvency.

Mrs. ELIZA DUNCAN died a few
DAYS ago in Salt Lake city from the
effects of a dose of Miles Nervine
taken from a sample bottle that
had been left at the house. After
her death, physicians analysed the
contents of the bottle and found
enough strychnine left to kill half
y dozen persons. As the real
medicine by formula contains not
enough strychnine to kill even if
taken at one time. renders it a
mystery how so much poison came
to be in the little sample bottle.

AFFAIRS wear a threatening as
pcct in France. Frenchmen poured
their money into the Panama canal
scheme. with absolute recklessness.
They had implicit confidence in
their great engineer to finally ac-
complish the stupendous, work
and now that the fact dawns upon
them that it cannot be done, and,
further, that gross misrepresenta-
tions were made in order to obtain
their money, they cry for vengeance,
and they want it so badly that
revolution is imminent. The Pan
anna story has not been half told.

and more revelations Of corruption

A REAL border story it is which
comes from Colorado about the
Williamsburg school teacher, and
if it had been told by Bret Harte it
would have been considered too i'm
probable even for fiction. This
school teacher was an ameteur
dentist, and when pupils misbe-
hayed he combined discipline with
useful practice by pulling out their
teeth. He pulled ten teeth for one
pupil, who was very bad, aud then
Il mob formed to lynch the teacher,
but he fled on horseback and es-
capped the lynchers, although he
may have persisted in the snow.
