WORK IN THE ERICKSON.
Activity All Over That Section

Activity All Over That Section of
Country.
There is considerable activity in the
Erickson district, which lies at the head
of Skull valley and embraces Death
canyon. The latter is a silver and
lead camp and has been worked and
prospected for years. Recently some
parties from American Fork, who have
claims there which are worked every
year in order to hold them, went over
to do the assessment work On MAX
ing cross cut they encountered the
biggest body of grade ore this
country has ever heard Of 1t runs 70
per cent lead and 230 ounces in silver
to the ton, according to the statements
made by an interested party and there
IS an unlimited quantity in sight; so
much that after opening the body and
going across and back and around be-
hlnd, the owners of the claim We're
completely paralyzed.
An outfit has been shipped from
American Fork and the claim will be
worked extensively from this time on.
The proposed line to Deep Creek will
doubtless go within a short distance of
the mouth of the gulch, and if this be
true, the miners in that locality will
be strictly in it, with low grade ores.
old workings which were used some
twenty years ago by the late Porter
Rockwell are being worked with two
shifts The properties owned by DR..
Groves and Billy Morgan, which were
allowed to lapse, were taken up by A.
c. Paddock and others, but did not
pan. At a depth of forty-five feet the
vein on the Peacock, the most promis-
ing of the bunch. "pinched,' and, al
though efforts have been made to find
it again, all have been futile.
On the east side of the range which
divides the Erickson from the Columbia
district, T. A. WiclSersham and others
have two sets of men working and are
getting good results. This country was
proSpected in early days, but those who
were looking for mineral at that time
did not care for anything except silver
and lead and would not look at a gold
prospect unless the same was in
chunks the size Of birds eggs. But
with the improvements in the treating
of ores some Of the claims which were
in those days abandoned are now con-
sidered good properties and are being
worked.
North of where Wickersham is work
ing, some good lead claims have been
opened up, and reports from the same
are to the effect that everything is in
good shape, with plenty in sight.

AN EPISODE.

1 saw her but once, but the image of her
Is painted for life in my mind,
For naught can occur that may darken
or blur
That vision of all that's refined.
The tripping piano was throwing a
shower
Of musical pearls, and her voice,
With its magical power, in that magical
hour,
Enslaved me, whatever my choice.
And | thought, as I sat by that beautiful
belle,
Most eagerly catching the strains
That thrsllingly fell, in ripples, or swell,
From her lips in melting refrains;
That music and beauty are but the re-
peat
Of some of the ecstacies given
In preludings sweet, by the angels who
meet
To welcome soul into heaven!
And I felt. as gazed in the deeps of
her eyes
And saw her white soul pulsing there,
Serene as the skies of a bright paradise
Where cloud-shadows dark never are,
That moment in such a divinity's pres
ence
Were worth whole ages, denied
The sweet effervescence of music in es-
sence,
And beauty's enthralldom beside.

OPINION ON THE PAYMENT OF AS

cording of Marks and brands
Land Solicitors.

The opinion asked for by the state board
of equalization submitted by the assessor
of Tooee county: "Can the county court
pay my deputies what they consider fair
compensation for days wages, when they
work by the day or can they only pay
Jnem tWo-thirds the salary of the assess
or, based on what would be his reduced
to days?' was given as follows:
Office of Attorney General,
Salt Lake City, Utah,
July 18th, 1896.
To the Honorable, the State Board of
Equalization:
Gentlemen have before me your favor
of June Goth III which you ask for my
opinion upon the following question, sub
mitted to you by the assessor of Tooele
county. Can the county court pay my
deputies what they consider would be fair
work by the day or can they only pay
them two-thirds the salary of the as
SCISSOR, based upon what would be his re-
duced to days?"
Section 10 of chapter 124, laws of Utah,
OF 1876. provides: That il in the Judgment
OF the board of county commissioners the
duties of any officer cannot be discharged
Dy the principal therein, then said board
OF county commissioners may allow such
ofncer deputy or such number of depu-
ties as in their judgment may be required
to do the business of such office in con-
nection with the principal, for such time
as may De necessary, and at such salary
as they may designate; the salary of any
one of whim shall not exceed two-thirds
Of the amount fixed for the salary of the
principal, the salaries of such deputies
shall be a county charge"
1t clearly appears from this section that
the county commissioners are empowered
TO employ deputies or assistants to coun-
~ officers when in their judgment the
work cannot be discharged by the prin-
clpal but the legislature has seen fit to
place limitation upon the amount to be
allowed such deputies or assistants
Under this law the wages of the
deputies or assistants cannot eX-
coed two-thirds of the amount fixed
for the salary of the principal whether
employed by the year, month or day. and
the manner of employment and the pay
ment OF such deputies or assistants are
subject matters for determination by the
board of county commissioners l have
the honor to be, very respectfully yours,

the Snake river, and it is most peculiar
in appearance and formation. 1t shows
that at one time that country was sub
jected to an intense heat, sufficient at
least to melt rock.
He also visited the Indian school at
Old Fort Hall, where there are at pres
ent LAG Indian pupils enrolled, with an
average attendance of 1872. They are
all we'll dressed, well cared for, and
seem to be unusually bright in their
studies.
The Blackfoot Indians own and are
cultivating many good farms along the
Blackfoot river, and to all appearances
are successful husbandmen, their chief
crops being wheat and lucern.
Mr.. Eldredge says it is a very inter
esting country to travel through,
though poor place to look for farm
unless by purchase. The climate is
about the same as here.-Coalville

may seem, this apparent obstruction
aids the shell in gaining an entrance
into the armOr plate. 1t is desirable in
firing projectiles, especially those which
are loaded with some explosive, as they
would be in time of action, that the
shell enter the plate as far as possible
before being broken. If the shell pen
etrates the plate Without breaking,
and could be depended upon to do that
every time, it would mean that great
havoc would be wrought on board any
ship which suffered such an intrusion
from an enemy's guns.
In armor plate trials so far held it.
appears that the fine poine of the hard
steel shell is easily blunted on the face
of the plate, and the experiments show
that this fact interferes with the en-
trance of the shell into the armor, and
the shell is generally broken into frag-
ments on the face of the plate.
The New Yorker has suggested the
block or cap of softer Steel and it is
found that this protects the projectile
poinG on the first fearful shock of i'm
pact with the plate. The shell seems to
recover itself behind the little cap, and
after pushing its way through the soft
steel block. more easily forces its way
into the hard face of the armor, and
through it into the ship, where its ex-
ploSion means something.
There are some features to be con-
sidered, however, before the cap can
be adopted in the service. 1t is a ques-
ton whether the cap would not inter
fere with the flight of the shell, whether
it would affect it's course, whether it
would diminish its velocity during its
travel, or lessen its energy when it
strikes an object. All these things,
and many more technical ones, can
be easily ascertained at the proving
ground, and it is to be determined
whether there are any dangers in the
new device to offset the known advant-

pIore 1t.
Ira Eldredge, who has just returned
from 3 trip to Idaho, gives us some
interesting facts concerning that coun-
try. He was accompanied by Thomas
earn on his trip.
The objective point was Teton City
and the Teton basin, and he went as
far as Egan, eight miles below ST. An
thony, having been gone one month. He
describes it as a big, open country, but
says there is no land to take up that
can be watered without great expense,
though there is plenty of ground for
sale, either improved or wild. Real
estate men have corraled all this char
acter of land and there is a committee
in each settlement to show people
about, as they are very anxious for set
tiers.
Good coking coal abounds in the
basin, and at a distance of thirty miles
good timber in abundance grows. There
is plenty of water, though the nature
OF its beds and banks prevents irriga-
ton. and wells have to be sunk to a
great depth TO obtain water The river
beds are of q porous nature, and it is
thought the water slips through this to
unknown depths
He describes some peculiar building

it is soft, and can be sawed in great
blocks with little labor. 1t is also very
light, man being able to lift a block a

In the butte fOF supremacy the
Former n Little Ahead.
The most interesting experiment at
the naval ordnance proving ground at
Indian Head in long time is that
planned for this week, says the Wash
ington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal. Tests are to be made
with projectiles fitted with a cap of
soft steel. The results of the prelimi-
nary tests promise that another step
will be taken in the perpetual fight be-
tween armor and shell
When nickel steel, Harveyized arrnor
was devised, the plate seemed to be
ahead. No steel has appeared equal to
the demolition of armor, except that
now and then a weak plate or a SUI
perior shell has resulted in smashing
the armor.
Now a New York shell maker, I. H.
Johnson, of Spuyten Duyvil, has sug-
gested a. method by which the shell
may gain a victory over the plate, and
from results already attained it looks
as if the equanimity of the armor plate
would be disturbed.
The proposition is to have affixed to
the point of steel projectiles a square
block of softer metal Strange as it

The Alice company is getting ready
to drop twenty more stamps, which,
with forty now working, will make
sixty dropping on ore. This is done, we
are informed, to clean up lot of ore
which is now on hand. The additional
stamps will start up next week, and
although we are not informed that they
will continue after the ore on hand is
worked. 1t is intimated that the mill
will continue to run with at least sixty
stamps right along. AIT any rate there

sufficient grade to allow of fair profit.

GYPSY SONG.

Buttercup gold and silver daisies
Into my true loves lap I throw;
This is the only gold she praises
This the silver she loves, l know
Not my gold nor my silver bright
Loves my love-for 1 haven't any;
l love her with a lovers right,
She loves me without purse or penny
Buttercup bold and daisies shining
Wreathe l gaily about her head,
While too am a garland twining-
Who would covet crown head instead?
Not for land nor for titles brave
Loves she me-for l never knew them:
Only love doth my true love crave,
Titles are empty and love slips
through them.
Buttercups bright and daisies sunny
She shall wear on her wedding day:
Buttercup gold our only money,
Daisy-stars for her jewels gay
Beauty rare for her ample dover,
Youth and love for my only store;
She herself but a fresh wild flower
Yet what king of them all wants
more!

Night.
Captain Pitts, who has been in the
Skull valley country for some time, left
last evening with an outfit and five
men for some place, he would not say
where. to form a new district.
Inasmuch as Captain Pitts has been
no place except Skull valley for some
time, those who know say he is going
across the valley, some twenty miles
above the Kanaka ranch, among the
Dry hills. This is confirmed by his
statement that there is mighty little
water at his destination, but plenty of
mineral. He told a Herald man yester-
day afternoon that he had got results
as high as $40 to the ton from the
grass-roots and up to so ten feet be-
