have not a dollars interest in that
country or in any of the enterprises
which look to the Development of it,
but sometimes wish / had all that
possess invested there. A friend Of
mine bought track of some 200 acres
and divided it into four sections. He
planted alfalfa in the entire tract.
When he finished curing the crop up
on one section he was ready to begin
with the next section, and so on, SO
that in single year he procured from
the tract practically seven crops. He
received for this baled alfalfa over
$50, 900.
The capltslists who are developing
this country are partly in New York,
partly in Denver, and there are a few
in California, bat it is mainly an East
ern enterprise, and, associated with
other irrigation schemes in California
and Arizona, may develop from some
arid wastes as wealthy communities
as are to be found west of the Rocky
mountains. IT may be; however; that
settlers will be disappointed, and that
these great irrigation schemes will
prove to be failures; but capitalists
are willing to risk some $4,000, 600 in
this single case with the belief that
their enterprise will not only reclaim
great territory but will give them
large profits.
The government authorities have
been greatly interested in these nego-

strange making of a lake oft of a

Even the gentle mamie goat is
forced to aid the engineer down in
New Mexico, if we are to believe re-
cent accounts of the construction of
an earth dam eighty-fiye feet high and
over 1000 feet in length near Santa
Fc. This structure was formed by
dumping Sand and gravel and level
ing it ofi int 3-inch layers by drag
gihg 4 beam over it, then sprinkling
the top with water, and, finally, keep
ing a herd of ll5 goats in motion over
the top. When the animals were first
put to work they tired easily and were
able to stand it but a part Of the day.
They were fed for few days on peas
and hay, which brought them into
good spirits, and were afterward ablt
to run about all day. Goats have
often been used for such a purpose in
Indiaj but this is probably the first
dam that has been constructed in thi;
manner in the United States.-St

Ex-City Engineer Frank Ashton is
down on another visit to El Paso from
the Black Range, n. NJ, where he has
been spending the past two or three
months. He brought down with him
some beautiful and very rich gold ore,
assaying from 500, 900 to $50, 900 to the
ton. 1t is from the Printer Boy mine,
in the Animas mining district, Sierra
county, n. NJ, not far from Hillsboro,
the rhine being owned by James
Stuck. The mine is situated in the
eastern foot hills Of the Black Range,
and is believed to be one of the most
valuable ever discovered in New Mex

some placer gold, washed out in the

CLARENCE w. HALL DEAD
Peacefully Passed Away Yesterday al
the Rising Of the Sun.
A Widow and Three Children Mourn
Special Election to Fill His Place
in the Legislature.

Hon. Clarence w. Hall, justice of
the peace and member of the legisla-
ture died at o'clock yesterday morn
ing at his residence 451 South Second
West street.
He was taken sick about a month
ago with typhoid fever which was the
cause of his death From the time of
the attack the fever abated but little
at any time At the end of two weeks
he appeared to be slightly better but
suffered a relapse and grew gradually
worse and for the last week little hope
of his recovery was entertained. The
evening previous to his death he seem
ed a little better, but it proved to be
only the temporary Frightening be-
fore the light goes out. and after mid
night he gradually sank and passed
peacefully away at the rising of the
sun.
The deceased was a very promising
young man only rs years of age and
hal already won for himself a posi-
ton in society which the majority OF
men might labor for during a. long life
and never attain. He was justice OF
the peace for q. considerable time and
at the election on Nov last, whilst
he lay on his sick bed, was elected a
Liberal member of the territorial leg
islature which conVenes in this city on
Jan. 8, from the Fifth representative
district
He had many warm friends in the
| legal profession by whom he was held
in high esteem and they with a wide
circle of acquaintance feel a genuine
regret at his untimely death, He
leaves young widow and three small
children. the eldest but four years OF
age and an invalid. of whom the
greatest sympathy is expressed.
The death of Mr.. Hall leaves a
vacancy in the legislature which will
have to be filled either by appoint
ment by the governor or by a special
election.
Governor West is of the opinion that
according to the statutes the latter
course will have to be pursued.
Section 270, page 327 of the compiled
laws of Utah bearing on the subject
reads as follows:
In case of the death, resignation, OF
other disability of any territorial of
ficer made elective in this territory il
shall be the duty of the governor

It now looks as though Joseph Won

Late Friday night Chief Paul received

the effect that the governor would not

at once sent a dispatch asking. the

CHARGED With MURDER.
Mrs. Van Patten Arrested for
Poisoning Her Uncle.
THE OLD MAN WEALTHY.
"Rough on Ratsv and Laudanum
Mixed with His Food.
The Accused Lives in This City, but viii
Be Heard at Provo-Trouble Among
the Demi-Monde-Ceen Gray
Convicted of Petit Larceny.

Deputy Sheriff Norrel came up from
Prove yesterday and arrested Mrs
Emma Van Patten on a commissions
er's warrant on the charge of muir
der. Mrs. Van Patten lives on East
Second South street in this city and
is the wife of Mr.. Patten, who was
for many years foreman of the Brook
lyn mine at Bingham. The arrest
created quite a sensation The facts
in the case are that Mrs Van Patten
was visiting with an uncle named
Soren Nielsen at Ephraim in October
last. On the evening of Oct IL Mr..
Nielsen, after eating a light supper
of mush and milk, was taken very
sick and remained so all night and
early the next day he died. The Synnp-
toms were those of poisoning and a cat
and number of chickens which ate
some of the mush also died. Owing
to the suddenness of the demise and
the suspicious circumstances surround
ing, an inquest was held when it was
developed that rough on rats had
been put into the old mans mush and
1T also appeared that on the morning
of the day on which he died Mrs. Van
Patten had bought bottle of laud-
bottle was afterwards found in the
house. DR.. Olson, who made post
mortem examination of the deceased,
testified at the inquest that Nielsen
had died from the joint effects of some
corrosive poison such as that known
as rough on rats" and from opium
or laudanum poisoning. The accus-
ed was also a witness at the inquest
and some suspicious of her guilt were
then entertained, but not sufficient to
cause her arrest The coroner'S jury
returned a verdict to the effect that
the deceased came to his death by
poison administered by some person
or persons unknown and there the mat
ter rested until yesterday when Mrs.
Van Patten was arrested.
Nielsen was quite wealthy, being
worth between $4,000 and S5O.O00 and
it is said that just before his death he
had $1,000 in the house in cash, but
afterwards only $50 was found. the
inference being that plumber was the
object for which the crime was COM
mited.
The authorities kept up a still hunt
and now claim that they have suffi-
cient evidence of a circumstantial
character to at least indict Mrs. Van
Patten for the crime.
Deputy Marshal Norrel left with his
prisoner for Provo last evening on the
9:25 train over the Rio Grande West
ern railway. The grand jury is in
session at Provo and the matter will
be brought directly before them.
