Mr.. Eccles reports that they found
the Short Line in splendid physical
condition. Not only that, the country
up there is prosperous, business is
good and the prospects are very bright.
Mr.. Eccles said that there was moth

Short Line business, but by careful in
quiry it was learned that the segre-

GENERAL PALMER IN TOWN.
Interesting Interview with the Rio
Grande Western Magnate.

Grande Western Magnate.
President w j. Palmer of the Rio
Grande Western railway, passed
in his private car Nomad. He was
returning from California, there being
in the party only his own family and
DIR. Bell of Colorado.
r. G. w. No. was an exceedingly
heavy train last night, consisting of
ten cars all told, and they were all
we'll filed, denoting that passenger
travel is picking up, and that the
Western is getting its share. The Her
aid man boarded the train here, ac-
companying General Palmer and party
as far as Provo, and then returning on
No. g. Upon leaving Salt Lake the
general prepared to turn in for the
night, but readily consented to talk
although he did most of the interview
ing. He evinced lively interest in
Utah matters and all things pertaining
thereto. He said in part: I'VE have
been out in California on a pleasure
trip, and while Utah people have been
bewailing the backwardness of the
season, l don't think they need COM
plain when other localities are also
suffering in the same way. Over in
California they are having considerable
rain with the cold spell, and all are
wondering when the summer time will
come
what about the extension of the Rio
Grande Western now being pushed ON
south?''
LAS you know, and as The Herald
has repeatedly stated, we are building
on south through local territory
that we believe will give to us proper
return for such outlay as we may
make in the work. So far as con-
tinuation of the work south of Rich
field, l can only say at this time that
The Herald has been clear in the pre-
misses. We have confidence in all that
district down south. We believe that
not alone are the valleys productive,
but that there are great mineral belts
about there that will sooner or later
be opened up, and then shipments of
the ores will commence in goodly pro-
portion.
Our policy is a conservative one
at this time, and we are disposed to
build no more miles of line than we
believe is to the roads interest in the
Immediate future, however much that
may be. From all accounts one must
believe that the Marysvale mining dis
trict is destined to cut an important
figure at no distant day, as the country
abounds in the precious stuff and as
yet has been left pretty much alone.
ION every hand I hear Utah spoken
of in terms of praise, and there can
be no doubt but the new state has
bright future. Utah mines are right
up in line with those of any other sec
ton Of the world, and back of that
are the agricultural and stock raising
interests which are prominent among
the industries.
80 far as the Rio Grande Western
is concerned, it is in splendid physical
condition, and will try to keep up with
the procession in all concerning the
present and future welfare of both
the property and the people of the
section traversed by it. I think that is
saying enough.

duties. A few days ago Elizabeth
Theobald, mother of Mrs. Jones, came
to visit her daughter. That was
rather unfortunate for mother Briscoe
as subsequent events developed.
Last Tuesday, as usual, Mother Bris-
coe went over to the Jones and was
engaged in fitting a dress when Mrs.
Theobald entered the room. She re-
marked that it was hardly proper for
people to be getting new dresses and
putting on lots of style when the
country was on the eve of a famine
Mrs. Briscoe replied that she stood in
no fear Of any famine. Times, she
thought, were improving right along.
Really, Mrs. Briscoe, how can you
talk that way? You know as we'll as
do that Brigham Young predicted we
would have a famine every seventh
year was the reprimand administered
by Mrs. Theobald
well, I never was much of a church
member anyway, and 1 don't believe
in such bosh as the famine predic-
TONS" replied Mother Briscoe
Then you are not a good Mormon
or else you arc hypocrite,' said Mrs.
Theobald.
Members of the family interfered at
this point and further demonstrat tons
were averted at this time.
Mrs. Theobald went into an adjoining
room and old Mrs. Briscoe assisted
Mrs. Jones with the baby 1t was then
she told the latter that it was not nice
for Mrs. Theobald to call her a hypo-
critic and cast other reflections on her
Mrs. Ttheobald heard this and without
word of warning rushed into the
room and swung her right on old
Mother Briscoe's jaw.
Shortly afterwards she had her as
sailant arrested for assault and bat
terry. The case was tried at length in
police court yesterday morning, the
greater portion of the population Of tho
neighborhood being present. Mrs
Theobald was found guilty and fined
81, which was paid.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Summary of the Weekly Report Is
sued by Director Smith.

Summary of the Weekly Report Is
sued by Director Smith.
Following is Observer Smiths sum-
mary of his weekly weather and crop
report issued yesterday:
The weather during the week end
ing Monday, May IS, 1896, was cold
and stormy with rain, hail and snow
throughout the central and northern
sections during the forepart of the
week. Damaging frosts occurred from
the 18th to the 18th, doing much dam
age to the fruit and vegetable crops
of the northern portion of the state.
Light frost occurred at st. George,
Washington county, on the morning
of the 18th
The outlook for fruit this season is
not very encouraging as a great deal
of it has already been killed, especially
apricots, peaches, cherries, plums and
strawberries. In the extreme northern
counties potatoes above ground were
frozen, and lucern nipped, on the 18th
and 18th. The staple crops are re-
ported as looking we'll and in salts
factory condition, but the prevailing
cold weather has retarded growth in
all sections. Everything is at a stand
still, and vegetation is at least one
month backward.

THE WONDER COMPANY.
Its Prospectus, with Fine Map and
Diagram, Just Completed.

It's Prospectus, with Fine Map and
Diagram, Just Completed.
The Wonder Gold Mining company
is out with a very neat and attrac-
tive prospectus descriptive of its group
of claims at Mercur in Camp Floyd
mining district. Accompanying this
publication and part thereof there is
a map showing the principal mines
and prospects in the immediate vicinity
of the Mercur and Golden Gate bonan-
zas, and also a diagram showing the
formation of the camp in profile and
the qualifications that carry the gold
and silver veins in that locality, all of
which is very interesting TO those in
terested in mining in Mercur and who
desire to become acquainted with the
geology of the district and the I'M
usual naturalization that exists there.
The Wonder group, comprising six
claims, adjoins the phenomenally gich
Golden Gate mine on the north, and
is bounded on the north by Captain J.
r. De Lamar's Tough Nut group. The
underground workings of the Golden
Gate mine are but a short distance
from the Wonder sidelines, and there
is no reason to doubt but that the large
ana rlch blanket VEIN OIL SOlu ore eA-
posed in this property continues on
and into the Wonder group. Work in
the development of the Wonder is be-
ing steadily pushed, and, according to
conversative estimates, the ore body
will be encountered within another
hundred and fifty feet. The shaft is
now down 235 feet, and as the pro-
perty is equipped with a first class
steam hoist, there is every reason to
believe that values will be encountered
within q period of six weeks.
The strike in the Golden Gate ex-
tension ground. as reported exclusively
in these columns Monday morning, was
of more than usual interest and i'm
portance to the Wonder people. as this
property adjoins the Wonder group
as well as the Golden Gate; and now,
with ore bodies developed almost all
around them, the mana cement of the
Wonder are just as confident of break
ing into the ore body at the estimated
depth as if their shaft was already
in ore and they were hosting from 500
to 400 tons per day of $25 rock.
The Wonder group is very desirably
and favorably located, as, like the
Golden Gate, its ground is fairly in the
heart of the great ore zone of the
camp, and if the vein is not encounter
ed there, it will be nothing short of
miracle.
The personnel of the company. in the
way of stability, integrity and financial

The bulls and the bears engaged Ill
mix-up ON the floor of the mining eA-
change yesterday, and while each maze
telling blows from time to time, it was
found that honors were about even
when the battle terminated.
Anchor, which was hammered below
the dollar mark during Mondays call,
made decided gains yesterday and was
tossed to $1.lo in the bidding, hum
dred shares changing hands at this flg-
ure.
Ajax opened with bid of so cents.
Offered at 81. Concessions were mace
by both sides and deal was consum-
mated at 50 cents, when the bears
made an unexpected rush and forced
the stock down to so, quite a number
of sales taking place meanwhile at
from S31s to 81 cents.
Brick Consolidated was quite spirit
ed in the bidding, but the close found
buyer and seller five cents apart with
but little prospect of getting together.
Galena was in good demand, as
usual. at the usual quotation, but sell
ers were out of sight; while Four Aces
was firm at so cents asked, the hlghest
bid being at %.
there was but a limited demand for
the stock Holders maintained their
ground. however. but buyers were more
than willing to bear the market.

after the first sales at $40 the STOCK
was tossed to S3.1212, $50 and finally TO
S3.25. transfers being made at those
figures.
Ontario and Silver King we're mac
tive. but firm at the usual quotations,
while Sunshine was stationary at S2.35
bid and 500 asked.
Swansea again figured as a favorite
and developed a strong upward ten
dency, jumping in the bidding from
s1.95 to 1879. and from all indications
this stock will find ready buyers before
the week is out.
Natural Gas was slumpy and in but
little demand, yet a speculative broker
gathered in o thousand shares at 4s4
cents in anticipation Of the rise that is
predicted by many.
The Prospectors' Gold Mining COM
pany jumped from y to Is cents with
out drawing out any of the stock, which
would indicate that holders were not
willing to part with this paper at any

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
FOURTH GRADUATING CLASS FROM
THE INSTITUTION.
Twenty-Five Girls, but Only a Dozen
Boys-SOme of the Brightest SchOl-
ars the School Ever Had.

On account of the examinations for
the University of California, which
took place at the High school last
week, Principal Malone was unable
to make his recommendations for grad
uatfon, but the list was completed yes
terday.
This is the fourth graduating class
to leave the High school, and also the
largest, there being thirty-seven in the
class, twenty-five girls and Twelve boys
At the beginning of the year there
were forty-seven members of the senior
class, that is last September. Ten of
the number, however, are missing from
the recommended list, some being with
drawn from school, others through SEX
ness, and a few through inability to
meet the requirements of the school.
The list as submitted yesterday is
as follows:
Girls-Clarissa Beesley, Damaris Bee
man, Bertha Bishop, Carrie Davis,
Florence Dye, Emma Fisher, Flora
Griffin, Florence Hall, Nina Hicks,
Katherine Jelich, Nina Kendall, Hattie
King, Alice Manning, Valentine Muir
ply, Pearl Newcomb, Leah Oppenhei-
mer. Gertrude Riley, Grace Snyder,
Sybil Stewart, Estella Watson. Claire
Whitehead, Winnie Whitehead, Bea-
trice Wilkinson, Ethel WINNER and
Bessie Williams
Boys-George Airs, Rollin Dole, Earl
Dunshee, Tod Goodwin, Harry Hemp
stead, Arthur Johnson, William Lister,
Fred Odell, William Patterson, George
Smith, Aug Williams and Gordon Will
hanson.
OFFICERS.
The class is a regular organized
body, having it's officers and SO forth,
as is the case in similar schools. Only
one of the officers-the secretary-failed
to qualify, the others being as fol-
lows:
President, j. T. Goodwin; vice-presi-
dent, Sybil Steyart; assistant secre-
tary, Gertrude Riley; treasurer, Harry
Hampstead. With the departure of the
class of 1886, some of the brightest
scholars in the institution will leave
the school: a few of the school
orators will depart; and athletic
sports will suffer loss. 1t
is class with wonderful
history, which I'D fill whole
volumes, a history Itch The Herald
must not reveal, however, but leave it
to one of the class members to read on
the class day.
The class will be seen in public twice,
at the regular commencement. and also
at the class. day before that time, day
which will be red letter one in the
annals of '96. AS so many wished to
speak at the commencement exercises,
and as only few could be allowed to,
the board of education has revolution
lied the system hitherto in vogue, and
there will be no orations on graduation
dow b11t merely an address bv SuDerin-
tendent Millspaugh and a presentation
of diplomas. This, it is thought, will
be more satisfactory all around.
The colors of the class are Yale blue
and white and their yell, which is a
hummer, runs as follows:
'zip-boom-ki-yi. rickety rix, Salt
Lake High school '96, Hulla-bulla-bel-
la-bellex acht zehn-hundert, neun und
sechs."

that at Point Lookout there is great

depth has yet been obtained on these
deposits, the values on the surface are
