Pleasant came in from the Saw-tootf
country.
The boys say the recent snow ha,
been a god-send ito them, as it had en-.
abled the herds to scatter over The
range and secure better feed. While
the grass is better than in former
years. bud and white sage, which is the
better feed for sheep. are not so good az
last year.-Millard Blade.

Up to date the factory has made
10000 pounds Of sugar this season
has cut %, $50 tons of beets, has stored
in the ware house ait the factory 1,500,-
600 pounds. which fills the building
and the sugar that is now made is
shipped to Salt Lake. If the factory
cuts $40 tons per day from this date
it will cut beets until the 5th day OF
January, 1895. Sugar has fell Is of a
cent. which hurts the factory.
About 800 students from the B. Y
academy visited the factory last Sat

The sheriffs of sanpete, Utah and
Carbon counties, accompanied by a
number of deputy Jnarshals, are out in
the SAN Rafael country after the muir
derers of Sheriff Burns. They intend
to bring them in if they are in thai
part of the country.-Ephraim Enter

The Utah mime is still shipping a car
of ore each week, amounting to four
teen tons, and averaging 277 ounces
silver and from 80 to 40 per cent. lead,
though some of it runs as high as 76
per cent. in lead.-Tooele Transcript.
A large body of ore was, a few weeks
ago, discovered within a short distance
Of Tooele by resident of this place,
which contains antimony, cobalt, lead,
and a large percentage Of tin. 1t will
be looked into and win prove a veri-
table bonanza for our country, if whalt

we have no reason to doubt but that it
will, as we were shown a sample of the
metals which were extracted from the
rock, and there is said to be hundreds
of tons in sight.-Tooele Transcript.
What blessing the beet money has
been to the people. Last Monday the
third lot of checks arrived in payment
of beets, and we saw the stores alive
with farmers and farmers wives buy
ing out Santa Claus. That good-na-
tured gentleman will have nothing left
over for next years start, if he is not
more frugal.-Springville independent.
A Colorado party lately visited Mann
moth and examined the ores of the
Ajax mines and has made an offer to
the company TO put up a, plant ON some
new tangled plan 10 work their ores
by electricity. it is said. A carload of
ore has been shipped to Colorado for
trial, and if the test is satisfactory
the company will contract for plant
ait once. Thus we glide into our natural
pace, the lead of the west.-Eureka

Tt is rather too late in the day for
Commissioner Sherman to object to
counting the ballots in Sanpete county
He was the first one to suggest sending
for the ballot boxes. and the presump-
ton is that they were wanted so the
ballots could be counted. OF course the
cry of fraud is raised, but then that is
getting to be a chestnut. Fraud has
been the cry from the beginning, and
still one position after another has
been abandoned. If the returns had
shown UP i'm favor of the other party,
of course there would have been no
cry of fraud. There are two Republl-
cans on the commission, and it is a
reasonable conclusion that they will see
that their party is not defrauded out
of its rights.--Manti Sentinel
