Gravity Sewer and Meat Inspection
to Receive attention.

Gravity Sewer and Meat Inspection
to Receive Atteation.
At its Tuesday nights meeting the
council viii have under consideration
several important measures, among
them being the gravity sewer compile
ton and the settlement with the con-
tractors and the selection OF the place
for ante and post mortem inspection of
cattle, sheep and hogs intended for the
local markets. It is now thought that
the sewer matter will be disposed of for
the present by the adoption of a resolu
ton ordering the extension of the sys-
tenn to Fifth South and State streets,
under the direction Of the city engineer
and the board OF public works. With
frs t-class inspectors, the majority Of
members of the council are of the opin-
ion that the work can be prosecuted as
cheaply under contract and in a much
more satisfactory manner. The settle
ment with the contractors VII be a
matter for future consideration.
The committee having in hand the
offers of sites for inspection grounds
has visited the several tracts under con-
ana the majority of the mem
bers are said to be in favor of the I'm
ion Stock yards, which offer 50 many
more inducements to the several meat
industries. It is highly pIo5abie that
the report viii be in favor of the yards.
The general sentiment Of the council
seems to be in favor of the consoiida-
ton of the stock yard interests.

One week from tomorrow the great
fight for the $4,000 bond issue will
have ended, provided the mayor and
finance committee are satisfied with
the bids received AS the time rapidly
approaches when the bids will be
opened by the mayor, the indications of
the presence OF many disturbing ele-
mehts becomes more apparent. II will.
without doubt, be one of the most hot
~ contested financial fights in the his
tory of this city. The notice of sale
calls for bids upon the whole issue or
any part thereof, and yet the best bid
may not be accepted. It has not yet
been decided just how many of the
bonds viii be sold at the first sale, and
much will depend upon the character
of the bids received. All of the houses
which are il the race are just now do
ing some close figuring upon the entire
issue and while there may be some
bids received for a half or quarter the
majority will be On the 500 bonds 2ow
upon the market.
AS to price, there seems to be wide
difference of opinion, even among the
bond buyers. Naturally enough these
gentlemen are bearing The market with
all the depressing news at hand, but
the officers of the city administration
are taking their statements with the
necessary grains of salt and hold that
the bonds Should not be sold for less
than par There are few cities in the
world which have the amount Of secur-
ity back of their bonds that is pos
sessed by this city. 1t is estimated that
the waterwOrks alone will pay off the
bonded Indebtedness in twenty years.
Already the bond buyers age beginning
to congregate and before the end of the
coming week a dozen of the greatest
houses in the United States viii be
represented here by one or more men.
The latest arrival is NJ. A. Dewitt, OF n.
W. Harris & Co. The gentleman is ac-
companied by his wife and is making
the Knutsford his headquarters. He
will get out among them on Monday.

A CRY OF FRAUD.
Another Chapter in the Actions
Against the Coffin Company.

Against the Coffin Company.
Charges of a serious and sensational
nature were lodged against President
E. c. Coffin, of the hardware company
which bears his name. yesterday. when
counsel for the Gutta Percha and
Rubber company strobe into the dis
trict court and commenced an action
against him and his official bondsmen,
c. R. Barratt and F. H. Auerbach.
That the action has been brewing
for many days was known to not
few who have studied closely the vicis-
STUDIES of local litigation. The COM
plant recites that z. G. Coffin is the
duly elected president of the z. c.
Coffin Hardware company; that on
April f. 1894, plaintiff procured judg-
ment in the Third district court against
said company for $916.07, the whole of
which remains unsatisfed. That on
November Il, 1885, the defendants exc
cuted bond guaranteeing the faithful
discharge of said e. c. Collins official
duties as president in the sum of $500.
The oath was administered and the
president proceeded upon his duties.
Plaintiff further alleges that the said
z. c. Coffin, in violation of his duty,
did. during 1S9091-92-93 fraudulently
appropriate to his own use $4,000 ana
a large quantity of merchandise, con-
sisting of hardware all of which mon
ey and hardware were the property OF
the f. c. Coffin Hardware company.
Plaintiff further alleges that during
the years 1S91-92-93, said E. C. Coffin,
in violation of his duty as president of
said company. fraudulently appropriat-
ed to the use of The e, Coffin Hard
ware company the sum of $9,607, or
thereabouts, the same being the money
for which this plaintiff obtained judg-
ment against the said E. c. Coffin
Hardware company.
Wherefore plaintiff demands judg-
ment against the defendants c. r. Bar
raft and F. H Auerbach, for the sum
of $500 and against E. c. Coffin for

into the treasury of the company 5000
shares Of the stock to be sold for the
purpose of raising money with which

Gold Properties Are Still in
Great Demand.
OUTPUT FOR THE WEEK.
AN INCREASE DUE TO THE GOLD
SHIPMENTS.
The Cannon Mining Company Incor-
pOrated With a Capital stock of
Fifty Thousand Dollars - The
SmeIters' Clearing House Project
Silver Gains Point-Notes.

The end of the week found the min
ling situation practically unchanged so
far as the silver-lead properties in the
territory are concerned. They are pro-
ducing but comparatively small
amount of ore and bullion, and with
one or two notable exceptions the AK
of retrenchment is being used in every
quarter. On account of the unstable
condition of the silver market, several
of the properties which it was antici-
pated would have been in full opera
ton by this time, are still idle and I'M
less the outlook brightens will remain
in that condition for an indefinite per-
iod.
The recent report that the Indian
minis would reopen for coinage on the
LIST of June had a tendency to stiffen
the market and give some confidence to
operators, but as nothing further has
been heard of the matter, the story has
now been accepted as an idle rumor.
Gold properties are just now claim
ing much of the attention of the people
of the west, and Utah has received the
fever legitimately. During the week
three of the most valuable claims in
this section have changed ownerships.
The Stewart at Bingham was sold for
$4,000 and the Monitor and jim Crow,
in the Ferguson district, have also
passed into the hands Of outside cap
italists. The former brought but $780,,
600 and the latter but $4,000. The low
ness OF these prices was due to the IN
settled condition of the titles. Among
the many improvements which the new
owners of the Ferguson district mines
will make is the construction of tele-
phone line from Phoebe to the mines,
a distance of forty-fiVe miles. The con-
struction of the lie will be commenced
at once.
From Mercur encoura ging reports are
received daily and some very rich
strikes have recently been made. Ad-
ditional discoveries of free gold have
been made in the district, and the finds
have caused considerable excitement.
Several of the companies now operat-
ing in the camp are contemplating the
immediate erection of mills on their
properties and the indications are that
within the next few months there will
be no less than half a dozen plants in
full operation there. The Mercur peo-
pie are pushing right ahead with their
contemplated Improvements. The COM
pany commenced sinking a shaft for
water near the mine, but yesterday
abandoned the work and it is said the
supply for the new mill is to be pumped
from the present site to the mine. 1r-
Operations have been resumed at
Osceola and some rich finds OF the
precious metal may be expected at
any time. It is reported that the Dali
ton at Marysvale is also about to re-
sumo.
The bank receipts of ore and bullion
for the week show an increase of in the
neighborhood of $4,000 over those of
the previous six business days. This
was due to several heavy gold ship
ments and the movement of Park City
silver bullion. The weeks summary is
as follows:

It is not generally known, but it is a
fact just the same, that the city water
system has been extended over Pop
perton Place, and that the water en-
joyed by the happy residents up there,
is Just a little Dit better than any 9th
er water in town. because it comes
in By the highland system; because it
comes from City Creek canyon, and be-
cause water is taken. out Of the creek
a mile and a half before it is taken by
the lowEand system. You see, we don't
get the Enligra ton and Parley's can
yoa water, because the pressure won't
take it to US; and we are glad that it
doesn't, because we don't get so much
lime, and other things which are said
TO be in these waters. If you think
there is anything in this, come up and
buy a lot or house; we have them
for sale, and we are not raising the
price neither on account Of these ad-
VantageS.
