The fine weather has encouraged many

George Moody was down from Deer
Lodge. Eagle Valley district, yesterday.
We understand that work on the Gold Bug
is progressing finely and that there Is a
large body of ore in sight.
MIS-. s. A. Dorrel, who has been staying
down here this winter, returned to her
home in Camp Valley last Monday.
The fact that we have had a case Of meas
les here, has caused considerable uneasiness
to some Of our neighbors above US.
Since the prospecting fever struck US
there are so many milionaires in our val.
ley that poor man has become scarcity.
lis pity that our young people are not
more congenial. Were they more socially
disposed they could get together and
make it much more pleasant for all.
Our professor was lisportiug himself
around Spring Valley Saturday and Sunday.
He returned in high spirits and remarked
that there was lots to see up there.
Rumor says there is to be dance at
Spring Valley Friday evening. We under
stand that there is some fine musical talent
from Provo up at State Line and if this is
secured the party is an insured success.
IT'S indeed strange that the correspond
emit of the Lode, who resides in the valley
above, should embrace every opportunity
to slur and abuse us as he has done in time
past. Unless perchance he bears some pri-
vato grudge and has not the manhood to re-
lieve it in an open, above board and honor
able way.

RAILROAD TALK.
Projects for Building Roads to the
South and Southwest.

The big ilroad talk We have read IN the
Salt Lake papers seem to have some backing
to it, and that one, if not both Of the roads,
will be built.
At special meeting of the City Council
of Salt Lake City, called for the purpose Of
considering the advisablity of donating the
valuable property known as the Old Fort
Square, and which was almost unanimously
donated, under certain conditions, for the
terminal Of the road, Mr. j. NJ. Allen, a
wealthy man Of St. Louis, and who repre-
sents the Meyer syndicate, said:
81 do not want to talk finance tonight,
but we can show you that we are putting a
half million dollars into the project, and
that ought to be evidence that we mean
business A man who is worth 50, 600, 900
told me that if we got Salt Lake people to
put their money into it and give US terminal
grounds, he would do the rest. may also
say that in case we succeed here, there are
people in California who will build l75
uiiioS VI Ioau ilohh thal thh anu ultth 'uI
road in the desert"
The Tribune says a road should be built
to the southwest to Los Angeles and San
Diego and Santa Barbara. It is a magnifi.
cent field, and if the right representations
can be made to capital, there will be no
trouble in selling the bonds. With road
beds graded and ties put on them, there
ought not to be much trouble to get the
steel and the rolling stock.
Interest in the building of the roads is
still growing in Salt Lake, and three more
very prominent business men have linked
themselves with the enterprise, and they
will be among the charter incorporators.
Mr.. Geo. A. Lowe will be one of the incor.
porators Of the Salt Lake & Pacific, Mr..
Dearn Of the Mercur and H. A. Cohen of the
DeLamar mines will connect their names
with the incorporators of the Utah and Cali
fornia. These three gentlemen are very
well known in Utah and Nevada, Mr.. Lowe
having been very prominently connected
with the Rio Grande Western, and handled
a large share of the financial work relating
to that road Messrs. Dearn aud Cohen
represent two of the biggest mines of Utah,
and also the famous DeLamar properties at

A Pioneer Gone.

On Friday William G.. Marcy, pioneer
of lS47, and one of the earliest white set.
tiers of the State of California, died at the
Croker Old Peoples Homo.
The Post says Mr.. Marcy's residence
dates back to lS47 when, before the close
of the Mexican war, he came to San Fran
cisco with the famous Stevenson's brigade,
and assisted in the fight of the Americans
against the Spaniards.
He was here when the southern republic
coded California to the United States, and

stirring events preceding American occupa.
ton.
Shortly after the date of the discovery of
gold, and about the time the State was adj.
mitted into the Union, Mr.. Marcy Joined
the procession to the mines. He did not
succeed in making fortune at the mines,
and later on returned to San Francisco to
engage in mercantile pursuits. He finally
established commission and grain broker
age house, which business he run until he
retired to spend the balance Of his days
amid the comforts Of the institution in
which he died.
Mr. Marcy was born in New York in
ISIS, and was rs years of age. He first
came to California on Il ra stats,

The Chinaman mine. as | find it at the

The body of ore recently uncovered
through the energy of the company, is a
bonanza, and gives every indication Of going
to great depth. The company drifted on
this body of ore about 100 feet, and then
sunk on it about 40, and it is getting bigger

promises to be one of the liveliest mining
camps in this State. Senator Skaggs has
received another letter from home informing
him that Eureka company has purchased

they intend to erect smelling works at once.
This, with the rich gold and silver mines in

There In More or Less Jealousy I'm the Fire
Depars ment-schstxiein's sharp stick
Owing to the prolonged sickness OF Fire
Chief Werner and the absence of an exec
utive head affairs in the fire department
are in a very unsatisfactory conditon'
both to the general public and the coun-
ell, and the fire committee will meet TO-
morrow afternoon to attempt to devise
some means of bringing order out OF
chaos and making the department what IL
should be. One of the chief troubles, IN
addition to the want of head. seems TO
be a spirit Of jealousy which pervades the
entire department. and complaints ana
kicks are being made by firemen as Wen
as by outsiders. The work of the firemen
at recent fires has created a great deal OF
adverse criticism and IL is reported that
the board of fire underwriters mas threat
ened TO raise the rates unless there Is
speedy improvement in the apartment.
As 1t is not probable that thief Wer-
ner will be able to report for duty fer
some time. and possibly not Tor several
months the fire committee has practically

after and practice on IL. On the othe
days they are to exercise with the smaller

are. not only to take the big ladder out

when they are out exercising they are to

day in going through the business blocks
