thing about it is that the people felt,

The immensely of the republican
victory in Vermont Tuesday is not
fully comprehended, even by hasty
perusal of the election figures. A
study of the figures shows that
about four out OF FIVE of all the
voters in the state voted the republi-
can ticket. The same proportion in
Ohio, with her total vote of $4,000,
would give a republican majority of
100000, or in Indiana Of more than

Hon. NJ. Peterson, Of Moab, Grand
county, Utah, is a guest at the Cul-
len.
Mr.. Peterson is heavily interested in
the Daniel Boone and Palrneuta claims,
in the Blue mountains, near the Gold
Queen, and he informs The Herald
that work SO lar has shown UP a fine
ledge of gold ore on these properties,
and that by spring the amount of ore
exposed viii without doubt justify the
erection OF a mill.
On the Gold Queen mine. in the i'm
mediate vicinity, a mill is now in
course Of erection, and it is expected
that upon its completion the company
viii make a regular output of gold
bullion.
Besides the Gold Queen plant, it is
believed than another mill Will soon be
working on Blue mountain ore, as Mr..
jackson, of Durango. Colorado. is MAX
ing arrangements to put in g 5-sramp
plant
Besides the samples of ore from the
Blue mountain gold mines, Mr.. Peter
son brought with him some beautiful
specimens of copper ore from the Big
shjun mine located at the south base
OF La Sale mountains.
This property is owned by Captain
May, Mr.. King and Others. and 1T is
probably one of the richest deposits
of copper to be found in the state. On
the surface there is a strong ledge and
blowout, while huge bouideTs of ore
cover the ground IN all directions, and
at a short distance from the surface
the metal is found in sheets in an a.
most pure state
The only difficulty attending the de-
velopmerr and utilization OF this mag
nificent propaasy is the lack Of trans
por-tation facilities. Wifh a railroad
nearby it would be a bonanza.
Mr.. Peterson says that there are a
number of fine gold prospecs in the
La Sale mountains. The lodges are
large and well defined and the quartz
free milling The ore is low grade as
q. usual thing, however, although rich
streaks are found that run up into the
thousands.
In speaking of the political situation
in Grand county, Mr.. Peterson states
that the county is largely in favor Of
Bryan, and that many Republicans
there will vote for him.

lou, Mr.. Moffat being president, Mr.
Ballou vice president and general man
ager, and Mr.. j. c. Wigginton secre-
tary. The process adopted, which MI
Ballou has spent years in perfecting, IS
different from the lead shelters, in that
the product is a copper or iron matte,
in which are the gold and silver values.
There were three furnaces constructed,
but at the time the plant was shut
down only two were in blast, smelling
40 tons of ore daily.
The shutting down Of the big plant
will have a most depressing effect on
the situation. There are between $50
and 200 men employed there, but Of
course many more will be thrown out
of employment. Both the Rio Grande
and Midland switching crews will likely
be cut down considerably, and all the
ore haulers who have been taking ore
there will be out of work The smell
ter uses quite a large quantity OF Cres-
ted Butte coke, and the shut down will
make quite a serious difference there.
The lime stone used is from Aspen,
and the quarries will necessarily have
their production considerably cur
tailed. These items, together with the
local supplies, machinery, coal, etc,
wild result in a decided loss of bust
ness in many directions.
There is no definite information as 10
how long the smelter will remain clos
ed. Manager Ballou could give no in
formation on this point, except to state
that it was for an indefinite period.
An important effect of the shut down
at the Bimetallic viii be the loss of a
market for much low grade silicious
and sulphide ore. These ores could be
treated advantageousty at the Bi1ne-
tallic, but now this outlet is closed the
properties which have been shipping
will have to close down. Some of this
Dre was coming from Aspen, and some

LOCATING AsPHALTUsr LANDS.
Illegal ana VIII Not stand the Test

Illegal and Will Not Stand the Test
of Law.
Some time ago The Herald stated
THEFT Information had been received
that "sooners'' were making locations
by the wholesale on asphaltum lands
In the Uncompahgre Indian reservation
in Uintah county, but it was not until
recently that it was learned that these
locations, in many instances, had been
made by Salt Lakeqs, among whom
were included several prominent citi-
gems; and the name OF Governor Wells
was found in the list.
The fact that these lands were being
gobbled I'D caused some surprise in
business and mining circles in Utah,
and considerable indignation has been
expressed that such a grab should be
INDUCED IN. especially as 1T was at
tended with SO much secrecy and a
seeming disregard for the public at
, large.
men who imagine that they have &C
CURED title to asphaltum deposits in
the Indian reservation may know of
some late ruling by virtue of which
their filings will stand the test OF law;
but if this is the case, it is a secret
THAT is locked up within their own
breasts, as the public at large has not
been given even an intimetion that
the mineral lands of the reservation
had been thrown open.
Inquiry at the United States land
office in this city failed TO give any
Hight on the subject, so the register and
receiver had received no notification
from the general land office at Wash
tngton that the lands in question had
been thrown open to the public.
Well known land attorneys are of the
opinion that the locations are invalid
and that the locaTors, when the reser-
walton is lawfully opened for location
or entry, will be classed as 'sooners,'
and that they will be deba1red from
making acquisitions in the coveted
land In fact, an individual, according
to the present status of affairs, would
have as much right to locate the first
floor Of McCornicks bank. or stake off
e strip of ground in the city and county
building park as he has to make q loca-
ton on any portion Of the Uncompah-
gre reservation.
Then again. there is no legal mining
district in the reservation, and no by
laws to go by, in consequence of which
the location notice could not legally be
fled there for record, and they Ger
tainly would not be received ant the
United States land Office in this city

deavor by a favored few TO get in on

lit is understood that on their ar

by the manager in charge, Mr.. Al Gel

and that the owners had such faith in
the mine that they preferred operating
it themselves. This change of affairs
was quite a surprise 10 the intending
investors to come prepared to plank
down the coin for the purchase of the
mine the instant a price up to the

MAKING HOMESTEAD ENTRIES.

Appraise1nent of Lands in Fort Crit
tenden Reservation.
Within the past few months govern
ment agents have been busy making
appraisements of the agricultural lands
in the old and abandoned Fort Crit
tenden reservation subject TO entry I'M
der the land laws of the United States
In many instances the appraisements
were placed at less than SIPS an acre,
which price the homesteader is re-
ouired TO pay before receiving title
to the land, and this, if desired, can be
paid in five annual payments.
The fact that the government agents
had appraised some OF the lands ait less
than $l25 an acre, caused some doubt
in the minds of several Salt Lake at
torneys as to whether this would come
within the letter OF the law governing
the homesteading of lands on abandon
cd military reserv atoms, and in order
to obtain definite information on the
subject, Hon. Frank D. Hobbs wrote d
letter OF inquiry to the general land
Office and received the following an
swer:
Department of the Interior,
General Land Office,
Washington, D. c., Aug. IS, 1886.
Nh Frank d. Hobbs, Salt Lake City,
Utah
Sir:-I am in receipt of your letter
of Aug. 4, 1886, asking whether, if the
lands in the Fort Crtttenden aban-
doned military reservation should be
appraised at less than $1.25. The home
stead settler, under the act of Aug. z3,
1894 (2S Stat, 49l), would be obliged to
pay therefor at least SIPS per acre
without reference to the fact that the
appraised value is less.
In reply have TO state that said act
Of Aug. Is, 1894, provides among other
things that the homestead settler on
lands in abandoned military reserva-
tions shall pay for such lands at not
less than the appraised value nor less
than the price of the land at the time
of the entry" 1t follows, therefore,
that if the appraisal is less than SIPS
per acre the homestead settler will be
required to pay for the land ait the rate
of S1.25 per acre.
Where the appraisal is at the rate of
$1.25 or more per acre, payment must
be made at the appra ised value.
Special instructions will be issued
to the local officers on the approval Of
the appraisal.
Under the existing law none of the
lands in this reservation will be sold
at public auction.
Very respectfully,
S. WLAMOREUX,
Commissioners
