TOWN TALK

President MILFORD Woodruff will today
enter on his Goth year. The venerable
head OF the Mormon church was born on
March 1. 1907.
The funeral Of the late Heber s.
yesterday afternoon at the Thirteenth
ward assembly hall and was largely at
tended.
1t is now reported that the big row
kicked up by the ladies in the Denver
and that the work will now proceed har-
moniously.
Robert Greene miner well known
around Murray, died suddenly at that
place yesterday afternoon. He walked
and fell asleep. When the bartender went
to arouse him it was found that his
spirit had taken fight to another world
Greene was interested in some mining
property in Cottonwood canyon, where
he for the past few years has spent his
summers. The deceased was unmarried
Heart failure is supposed to be the cause
of his sudden death.
Last night was ladies night at the
University club, and quite a brilliant
throng of both ladies and gentlemen were
in attendance The feature of the even
ing was paper by Major Hill on CAR
menian History which in instructive
ness, interest and literary merit was a
very fine production, and was thoroughly
appreciated. During the evening Miss
Sabin sang solo to Prof. Radcliffe's ac-
commandment ON the piano, and the tall
ented pianist, Mark Payson, rendered two
of his own compositions, which elected
great applause.

"Miner'' Inclined to Doubt the Va
Ifdity of Its Formation.
To the Editor of The Herald:
In The Herald of February 26 no
tice an article in regard to Peepstone
mining district, the disputed boundary
lines, etc. The article states, and by
some it is claimed that it (Peepstone)
conflicts with the Lehi district.
Peepstone district covers all of the
Lehi district with the exception of
Lehi City corporation, and one is al
loss to know why Peepstone did not
cover that, so that the recorder could
collect city taxes.
Now as to those minutes of the meet
fngs, records. etc: January 2. 1892, a
meeting of the miners Of Cedar Fort
was held for the purpose of organic
ing a mining district, and it was moved
and seconded that the district be called
the Peepstone mining district. This
was carried, and one j. c.. Jones was
elected recorder, and ]. c. Jones was
instructed to prepare bylaws, map out
boundary lines, etc, to be submitted
at an adjourned meeting. The meeting
adjourned to meet January 8, 1892, and
we find from the records of the meet
ing of January 8, 1892, the following:
John Cook, secretary. John makes his
report and resigns, and I don't blame
him; inasmuch as he and the secretary
were the only ones present there could
not be much remuneration in the re-
corder's office.) T. NJ. Smith was cleo
ted to fill the vacancy"
The above meeting was held Jan
Uary, 1892. The documents We're recor-
ded in the county records of Utah
county, January "a, 1896, book 81 of
deeds, on page 571, so says the report.
The Lehi mining district was organ
lied January II, 1894, code of bylaws
adopted. boundary lines defined. re-
corder elected and record made Of the
same in county records of Utah county
January 16, 1894. according to the stat
utes of Utah, and recorder elected
each and every year since, furnishing
bond for the faithful performance of
his duty. Now, four years and almost
two months after this memorable meet
ing where Jones and Cook were the
only ones present, Peepstone peeps out
and gets their boundary lines recorded
and claim they have a valid mining
district. If this kind of proceedings
establishes a legal mining district, and
a supposed recorder receives money for
recording of mining property, then our
mining laws should be changed.

Promises to Develop Into a Great
Producer of Wealth.
j. K. Clark. the well known mining
operator Of Butte, Montana, arrived in
the city Friday night from a, visit to
the rich gold camp of De Lemar, Neva-
da, which, he says, with the exception
of the operations being carried on in
the De Lemar and April Fool proper
ties, is very quiet at the present time.
The De. Lamar is going on at its usual
gait, while the April Fool, owned by
Frank Wilson and Will Dooley, is
breaking ground for its new 10-stamp
combination mill.
Mr.. Clark visited the new Line dis
triet, in western Iron county, on his
return trip, and says that this new
discovery promises to develop into a
great wealth producer, although but
little work has been done in the dis
trict as yet.
The Line district is fifteen miles
northwest Of Desert Springs and sew
enty miles southwest of Milford. The
Groupings in the district are very large
and well defined, and in some instances
are all of 100 feet in width. On the
Utah Spur lode the vein carries small
stringers of ore of from three to four
lnches wide, that goes as high as 1000
and 5000 ounces in silver to the ton
besides carrying from So to $25 in gold.
The ore is black sulphurette. and
can be easily treated. The Ophir mine
shows from three to four feet of ore
on the surface on the banging wall
that averages from 100 to 300 ounces
IN silver and also gives good returns
IN gold, but. as the ledge has not been
tested by crOSS-Cuftiner Tho ov+op+ oe
the ore body has not been fully tested
as yet. ''0N
Mr.. Clark says, that in his opinion
the formation is a assure in porphyrv'

Little Accomplished at tho Meeting
Held Last Night.
The meeting held at the police court
room last evening by those interested
in the protection of fish and game was
largely attended. but owing to the fail
ure to secure a copy of the bill pend
ing before the legislature, it was i'm
possible to proceed to any definite ac-
ton.
I. M. Barratt stated the object of the
meeting, and briefly outlined the OBJ
jections to it. While it provided against
taking trout with hook and line for
three years, it permitted SEEMING in the
lakes and streams. Then it changed
the open duck season from October 1
to February 1.
John @. Cannon was elected chair
man of the meeting, and S. II. Love,
secretary.
Commissioner Musser being called up
on, said he did not know of a bill that
provided for SEEMING all the year round.
The old measure provided for SEEMING
at the mouths of the Jordan, Weber,
Bear and Sewer eight months in the
year, but he had not heard of the OBJ
jectionable features alluded to.
Mr.. earns suggested LnaC the meet
ing prepare bill and submit it to the
committee. 1t was stated that such a
plan had already been tried without
success.
This bill was called for, however, and
after some discussion the following
gentlemen were appointed as a commit
tee to secure a copy of the bill pending
in the legislature and report to an adj
journed meeting: ]. @. Cannon, /. NJ.
Barratt, ]. e. Clark, A NJ Musser, M.
L. Browning. H. B. Burton. S. II. Love.
a vote of thanks was rendered Judge
Wenger and the meeting adjourned
subject to call.
After adjournment considerable dis
cussion arose over the position of fish
and game commissioner now occupied
by Mr.. Musser, some saying that he
was appointed by Governor Thomas in
1892, and at the expiration Of his term
had continued to serve without author
ity, not having been appointed by Gov
ernor West. The question of Mr.. Mus
ser's right to serve was referred to The
Herald authority for answer this morn
ing. The answer is that he legally
holds office until his successor is ap-
pointed and since a successor has never
been appointed he is still commits
sioner.

Advices were received yesterday that
Louis Cohn, the newly elected fire and
police commissioner, left New York last
evening and Is expected to reach home
next Wednesday.
There are apparently few new deVel-
opments in the police commission cir
cles. The regular meeting will be held
tomorrow night when it is expected
that action will be taken in the matter
of dropping men from the force in ac-
cordance with the retrenchment de-
cree of the council Chief Pratt will
submit a list Of the men he desires cut
off, and the commission may or may
not see fit to endorse his recommends
tons. 1t is generally expected that the
matter will form ammunition for a
lively meeting. which, of course. will
be held behind closed doors.
There is talk to the effect that an
attempt will be made to delay action
until the arrival of Mr.. Coin. At pres
ent all the other members are in the
city so that the delay win not be for
lack of quorum. In the absence OF
Mr.. Cohn his place will be filed by
Commissioner Empey, who holds until

The dealings on the floor of the stock
exchange yesterday were about up to
the average in number, but at an ad-
vance in figures that was more than
encouraging TO holders of Utah's nu-
merous gilt-edged stocks.
Just after the call Of the listed
stocks, and before the bulls and bears
were given a chance to wage merry
war with the unlisted properties, one
of the brokers made a protest to the
presiding officer of the exchange
against a statement contained in yes
terday's Tribune concerning a transac-
ton alleged to have occurred on the
floor of the exchange the day before,
which statement. he said, was of an
injurious nature and reflected on his
manner Of transacting business.
Several members of the exchange
were ready TO affirm that no such scene
occurred as that SO graphically depic-
ted by the Tribune scribe. and it was
limited that if he would report the
meetings personally, instead of getting
his information after call from the
marker, no more such foolish blurders
woulG again be recorded against him
After some discussion it was ruled
that the wronged broker was out of
order and that he should lay his COM
plant before the board of managers.
Anchor was in demand at an advance
over yesterdays quotations, but no
stock was offered.
Ajax was strong at s1.50 asked, but
no bids were recorded.

The Herschei Gold Mining and Mill
ing company was called for the first
time, having been properly listed. This

Mercur was in statue quo at S7.45

The bidding on Mammoth was fast
and furious and sales were made at
$40 and S2.15, which is the highest
quotation made on this stock for sew
eral years.
Ontario, Silver King and Sunshine

boys who made the discovery had
made a small excavation for the pur-

For the last day or two rumors OF a

were flying on the streets thicker than
papaws in a, Missouri forest in the fall

positively located.
Yesterday, however The Herald was
authoritatively informed that a large
