TINTIC TINTABULATIONS.
Eureka is a Law Abiding Camp-Fires
Quenehed by Dampness-Mines.


The holidays are gone with all their joys
and this great wealth-producing community
are again tackling the stern realities of life.
1t is safe to say that nowhere in the inter
mountain country can be found a COM
munity that behaves itself better than that
found in this fortune-favored pass in the
Oqu1rrhs. The reason is obvious; here all
are content because they have been sue
cessful in the past, and no people have
brighter prospects for prosperous future
and successful people have less incentive
to wrong doing than those who are by for
tune forgotten. Notwiths landing this is
big camp. there is not single culprit in
our jail, our peace officers are enjoying a
holiday rest and the stiffness of the grave
rests on our court house.
But one solitary case has been adjusted
since the holidays, the case of an old resi-
dent OF Eureka, against whom complaint
| Of disturbing the peace was sworn by an
empty headed, self-important, damphool of
county official, clothed in little brief
authority, self-appointed road supervisor
| and self-constituted censor of Eureka's
| morality. The defendant was championed
by Z. L. Brown, who, after the evidence
was heard, do not deign to make a long
argument, and after The learned ~ prose-
cutting attorney finished cigarettee or
two he made a most startling appeal to the
| jury that would have cleared even Guiteau,
Judas Iscariot or Benedict Arnold. 1t took
! the jury two minutes and two ticks by the
watch to bring in verdict of mot guilty"
The over ofhciousness of the complaining
witness was condemned by everyone, and
| a Well-knoWn gentleman was heard to re-
mark, Even drunkard may reform, but
a fool never does"
Thanks 10 the humidity of the shingle
roofs of our town, it has not burned down
this winter, although several incipient
fires have stated, our good people still have
homes. The cost of securing perfect safe
ty from fire by defective flues and stove
! pipes is slight, but that safety will never
be had until we have city government.
The funeral of our townsman, John
Hardwick, was well attended. The Bul.

for the afternoon to allow the miners to
pay their last respects to beloved brother
miner who had served them in an official
capacity in their union. Hardwick, al

many years in Utah and for more than
twelve years last past had worked in Tin.

Many of our merchants take advantage
of the time table of the Tintic branch
railroad and make trips to the city, return

The mines are all at work again sending
out their usual quotas of ore. The Key

mines in y tab and will send out as MANY
