Preparations are being made at the
yards for the receipt of several large
consignments of hogs from Northern
Utah and Western Wyoming, which
have been promised by the heavy hog
producers of those sections. While out
on the skirnish line several days ago,
Manager Mack located all Of the big
shippers, and since his return has been
in communication with them, for the
purpose of inducing them to make
shipments this way instead of out over
the Oregon Short Line. Local whole
salers are sure that they can take care
Of 5000 head of porkers during the
coming season, and the handling of
this number would give the yards con-
siderable business. Arrangements are
now being perfected through which the
railroads viii give the shippers the
privilege of sending their hogs this way
to the markets of the east, with stop
offs at the Union yards In the event
of no sales being made reshipment can
be made to the east without extra ex
pense. The reports which have thus far
been received are very favorable to
the project, and the indications are
that quite an industry will be built up
here in the way of pork packing dur
ing the next few months. In this same
connection it has been suggested by a
prominent dealer in hogs that the
farmers of this territory feed their sur
plus grain to their hogs during the fall
and early winter rather than sell it at
the present going prices. 1t would net
them several hundred per cent more

Silver producers were greatly disap-
pointed yesterday at the action of the
metal, which lost one-half of it's Mon
days gain and closed at 651s cents.
This slump was contrary to the general
belief in mining circles, although the
operators realized that the advance
could not be anything but temporary
with the metal classed in the markets
of the world as a commodity pure and
simple. Yet the general opinion is that
there will be still further advance and
that the fall of yesterday was due
simply to a bear movement on the part
of the foreign manipulators, for The
prices in London are what regulate
: those on this side of the pond. Last
7Hsek the metal acted in much the same
unanner as that of yesterday, falling one
" and advancing over the former
hgures within the next day or two.
Upon this record the producers are bas-
ing their hopes that the market will
show a healthy and continuous adj
vance.
The valuation Of the tariff act, which
makes a cut in the tariff on lead, seems
not to have had any bad effect upon the
price of that metal and the reports re-
ceived from New York yesterday gave
the latest quotation at the old figures
of $2.15. Lead producers are now con-
fident that they have been continuously
swiadled' through the operations of the
lead trust for the past year or more
but they are powerless to prevent the
undetermined work. The quotations on
4sHe New York market are always from
20 cents to 80 cents higher than are
those sent west by the Associated Press
and New York brokers.

AGAIN AFTER sHEEPMEy.
Utah Flock Owners VIII Test the
Colorado Restriction Act.

Once again has the sheep question
been raised in western Colorado, and
this time the Utah sheep men propose
to test the restriction act of that state.
On this subject the Rocky Mountain
News has the following:
State Veterinary Surgeon Gresswell
received information Saturday that Bud
Taylor was near Montrose with a flock
of 1,200 sheep. The telegram came from
c. z. Wetzel and was TO the effect that
the flock was in Tabeguache park and
that Taylor professed to be driving
them to the railroad. DR.. Gresswell
telegrsphed instructions to the district
attorney at Montrose to arrest the men
in charge. He will see the attorney
general today as to whether the state
or Motrose county should prosecute.
DIR. Gresswell regards this as a test
case of the validity of the quarantine
restrictions. 1t is not question of the
health of the sheep, but as to the right
of the owners TO bring them into Colo
RADIO at all without a bill of health.
They could have had them inspected at
Grand Junction, but brought them in
without it, deliberately, DR.. Gresswell
thinks. He says the excuse of driving
them to a railroad is only a pretenSe.
The Taylor brothers are among the
largest sheep owners in Utah. Dr.
Gresswell thinks if this case is passed
over that all attempts to enforce the
quarantine may as well be abandoned.

Last nights meeting Of The city coun-
Gil was a protracted one and good
deal of business was transacted.
The mayors appointment of Dr.
Daily to succeed DR. Beatty as health
commissioner came up on report OF the
committee on sanitary rules and qua
anime. The aIr.;'lt1nn'.- was not CON
frmed by vote of six for and eight
against.
The proposition to convert the pres
ent council chamber into a city Jail and
to appoint a matron for the city prison
was defeated.
A long discussion was had on the
to increase the proportion
of cement in the concrete being used
on the gravity sewer from one part of
cement and nine parts of sand to one
of cement and seven of sand. The
chief point developed appeared to be
that one to nine made a good enough
concrete provided that those proper
tions were actually used and that it
would be in order for the inspectors
appointed by the city to see that those
proportions were adhered to and that
the required amount of cement was
put in. It was decided to make no
of 1 to 9. The change to 1 to would
have entailed an additional cost of over
5000 to the city.
A communication was submitted by the
joint city and county building for con-
firmation awarding a contract for an
electric light plant for the new joint
building to cost $3.50. The awarding
of the contract was not confirmed and
it was resolved not to put in any sep
arate plant to light the building.
The ordinance prohibiting the riding
of bicycles on the sidewalks was laid
over for one week.
The order for paving the sidewalks
on Second South street, between Eighth
and Tenth East streets, was rescinded
There was a long and heated discus
sion on the question of advertising for
bids for street lighting for three years
from January l, 1895. Considerable
friction between Mccormick and
OMeara was developed, and in the
middle of the debate the council adj
journed.

HORN SILVER MILL IN OPERATION.
Trial Runs on Low Grade Ore Were
Successful.

Successful.
The encouraging news was received
from Frisco yesterday morning that the
new concentrator of the Horn Silver
e1as been started up and is working to
a charm. General Manager Farnsworth
is now at Frisco experimenting the
trial runs. and is very well pleased with
the actions OF the mill.
Shis plant was constructed for the
p,dipose Of treating low grade ores TAX
zen from the mine in great quantities
and shipments Of both rich ore and
concentrates will in the future be re-
ceived from the mine. Heretofore it
has been the custom to throw aside the
second class rock and only take out
the high grade, which was supposed to
exist in the mine in unlimited quanti-
ties. Development has proven that the
estimates We're in the main correct but
the present management decided that
1T could not afford TO throw away the
non-shipping ore and decided to put in
mill. A fire wiped out the first plant
put in and swept away the main hoist,
In addition to greatly damaging the up

delay the board Of directors OF the COM
pany a. stded to duplicate the ruined

Water Credit Certificates.

Stored away in the treasurer's de-
partment of the city hall vault are
water credit certificates whose face
values aggregate $4,000, these await
ing claimants. Some time ago the
credits upon the books were trans
ferred to the certificates in order that
the labor of the water rates depart
ment might be materially reduced.
The rush of claimants has not been
heavy. but as the special water rates
become delinquent the treasurer's de-
partment will be kept busy handing
out the paper.
There has very recently been ma
terial advance in the market price of
the script, which is now finding ready
sale at rs cents.

RICH STRIKES IN COTTONWOOD.
Two Hundred Ounce Silver in the
New Sensation.


A good body of very high grade ore
has just been cut by the lower tunnel
which is being run into the side of the
mountain for the purpose of develop
ing the three claims in the New Sen
sation group in Big Cottonwood canyon
just below the Grizzley, owned by the
Messrs. Lawrence and Will Dinwoody.
The owners of the property yesterday
received the information that the tun-
mel had just cut through an ore body
Of considerable proportionsAwhich runs
as high as 200 ounces in silver and
some gold. For some time past the cut
has been made through a great body
of concentrating ores, none of which
were of sufficient richness to pay for
the mining and shipment. The new tun-
mel is now in 312 feet and taps the ore
body $50 feet below the old workings,
the tunnel of which. is in over 300 feet.
On account of the presence of consid-
cradle quantities of zinc in the ores
from the upper workings it was found
to be necessary to suspend operations
on that portion of the property and go
farther down the mountain in the
hopes of encountering the main ore
body where the zinc was not so heavy.
In this the owners were not disap-
pointed. for there is not the old time
quantity of the base metal. Shipments
will soon be made from the new prop

NAY Mean a CITY Hail.

The defeat. of the Clawson resolution
providing for the transfer of the upper
floor of the city hall INTO a Jail for the
tenders, is said to be the first step look
ing to the erection of a city Jail and the
abandonment of the present many times
condemned apology. An official inspec-
terday by the committees on Jail and i'm
provements and the general opinion of
the members was that one of the press
ing needs of this city is Jail building
fit for the habitation of human beings.
According to the present plan of action
outlined by the committee on jail it is
the intention of that body to recommend
to the council the erection of a Jail to
mayor favors the plan and it is very
probable that enough votes can be OBJ
tanned to secure the adoption of the re-
connnlenda ton.

UNIVERSITY LAND TO BE SOLD.
Over Sixteen Thousand Acres Now
Ready For Market.

Early in the coming week the COM
missiorers to locate university lands,
will advertise for sale 16 .233 acres of
good lands scattered through Salt Lake,
Tooele, Juab and Piute counties This
acreage was recently located and ap-
praised by the commissioners and in
accordance with the statute governing
the sales, lists have been prepared and
the advertisement of the property is to
% commenced. Immediately upon the
appearance of the advertisements the
ators on the lands offered for sale
fSSl be at liberty to make the purchase
Vat the appraised figures and in conse-
Guence the commission will have all it
can do to take care of the crowds of
applicants who will present the amounts
of the first payments and demand their
deeds.
The commissioners were in session
yesterday for the first time within the
past six weeks, Messrs. Seegmiller,
Griffin and Peery being present The
meeting lasted during the entire day,
there being a large number of matters
which demanded attention. The most
Important, however, was the fixing of
the time for advertisement and the
paper which is to secure the lists for
publication. 1t was decided to COM
mence the publication of the lists on
Wednesday morning next in the Semi
Weekly Herald. In addition 10 the
publica ton, which is to be continued
not less than sixty days, notices will
be posted in six prominent places in
each county and the various county
lists will be published in one of the
papers of the individual counties, pro-
Vided there is such an organ printed.
The land which is to be offered for
sale is the last in the possession of the
board and is considered to be very
good land. Especially is this the case
with the Salt Lake county acreage,
which is located in the southwestern
portion of the county, some Of it being
under The canal. In this county there
are 3,S13 acres; in Tooele county 1880
acres; in Piute $40 acres; and in Juab
II 600 acres. At the expiration of the
advertising period the land remaining
lunsold will be offered at public auction,
no bid to be received for less than the
appraised valuation.

method which will be adopted in the
apitation of the members of the po-
lice force. whose necks have been I'M

time past AS the chief interprets the
provisions of this act creating the board
of police and fire commissioners he can
not take effective action where the
suspensions are to be made permanent,
and has made formal request upon
Commissioner Empey to sign the
death warrants. This the commission
er is adverse to doing and there the
matter stands. The list has been made

giving the men who are to go at least
four days notice, so that it is fair to
presume that the suspensions will be
announced within the next day or two
at the farthest. 1t will be impossible
to get a meeting of the board until
after the 1st. and in case the suspen-
sions do not go into effect by the 1st
