They express themselves as being well

The Castle Valley News says that
there is a strong determination being
expressed by many prospectors to ex-
plore the Uintah mountains the COM
ing spring in seach of the mineral de-
posits known to exist there. AS this
act would be violation of the laws
prevailing in that section the boys
may meet with some resistance and be
compelled to keep off the reservation
but why a prospector should not be
permitted to search for the wealth of
those mountains, is not clear, unless it
be that some of the people and Of
ficials on the inside want to locate and
held all the mineral property in that
locality. We are Informed by reliable
authority that prospectors have been
out fer some time in those hills who
profess to be employed by Uncle Sans

should be done, either open
the reservations and give the public
show or give it to Major Randlett and

1t was hard to get the facts as they
were created by the principals, but
the truth, without establishment. is
that last night there was a bloodless
shooting scrape in Abbey's saloon ON
State street.
About o'clock Officer Tom Everiil
was summoned from his Second South
street beat to go to the place; the mes
senger declaring between breaIths that
a man had been shot in "Quinlan S, "
although Dan doesn't run the place
any more. Followed by a quartette of
reporters, two undertakers and the
coroner's deputy, the former seeming
a story and the latter g. tstiff,' the
officer rushed to the spot to find the
proprietor, selling his forty rod to a
crowd of half jags aus calmly as though
nothing had happened.
Inquiry of the haybftues of the place
eIcited the statement that two men
entered the saloon and prefacing future
action by simultaneously designating
each other a., characters defined in
newspaper parlance by several Sem
dashes pulled guns and, after taking
a shot apiece, fled, one by way of the
rear door and one by the front. The
bullet holes were exhibited aus proof of
this combat, but beyond the statement
contained in The above, not man in
the dive would say word. The jap
himself did the sphynx act to perfec-
ton. He wasn't there to talk; he was
on the spot with view of selling beer
and booze and plenty of both.
1t was learned afterwards from one
of the men in the house that Andy
Parks, a porter in an UP town gambling
house, and a man named Clark had an
alteration and that Parks took two
shots at Clark.
One shot struck in the wall a short
distance from the place where a men,

promptly dived down on the floor for

1t is stated that an effort will be
made 20 have the CITY council revoke
the license of this place at ITS next
meeting. Several shady transactions
have taken place there within a short
time and, as was the case last night
the efforts of the officers to get infor-

the refusal of the presiding genius to
talk.

Despite the unfavorable weather,
there was another good crowd in at
tendance at the society circus at Con-
tinental market last evening
The fact that the show had already
run three nights, apparently had little
effect on the devotees to the sawdust
ring, unless it was to enhance the in
terest; but it certainly did have an
effect and good one, on the perfor-
nance. which ran very smoothly. The
previous performances had given the
amateurs a confidence they lacked be-
fore, and they went through their
various difficult acts with much more
ease and grace and with much fewer
mistakes than formerly, facts which
give to patrons of the remaining per-
formances assurance that they will
not only be furthering a worthy OBJ
ject, but will be pleasurabfy enter
tanned and amused for an evening.
Several new features were added
last evening to the programme of last
week, which proved among the best
attractions of the show. They were a
highly amusing burleSque trapeze act
by John Griffith and Harry Wallace.
James Francis was succeeded on the
slack wire by John Potter who gave
fully as good an exhibition of wire
work as did his predecessor, and the

Mercur in Good Demand Mt Rapidly
Advancing Figures.
Yesterday was a field day for Mer-
cur and Mammoth in the pit of the
mining exchange, and in the language
of the day, these stocks were 'hot
stuff"
Mercur was in active demand and
sold readily at 81, $50 shares changing
hands at these figures, and it is pre-
I dicted that within a week from now
this stock will be hard to obtain at a
much higher quotation.
4 strong inquiry for Mammoth was
also noticeable, and at steadily adj
vancing figures. Beginning at 81 90
prices advanced until transfers were
made at 81. 2312, and after call it was
wanted at 81 25 without bringing out
any more stock. For some cause Nam
moth was in special demand, and it
was limited on the side that a dividend
would be forthcoming before a great
while.
Bullion-Beck was also quite active
in the bidding, but sellers were beyond
reach.
Daily was not slow, by any means,
and made rapid advances. At the
opening this stock was wanted at $3.50,
offered at IS; but the bulls captured
the pit and tossed the shares up to the
S7S5 mark, with no change in the Of
ferings.
Daly-West also made decided gains,
and at the close was wanted at $7.25,
with no sellers in the pit.
Eagle made a good showing, and
LOO shares changed hands at 1872
and "A cents.
Ontario was wanted in board lots at
$3.50, while for ten shares a bid of
$14 was recorded; offered at s16.
Silver King was very firm and made
some gains in the bidding, being quot
ed at $3.50 bid and SIG asked.
Sunshine also developed an upward
tendency and closed strong at S2.7O in
the bidding; offered at $2.S5.
The unlisted stocks were called with
out sale being recorded.
Little Pittsburg was very slow, and
attracted but little attention.

TEARDALE, Utah, April II, 1896
A fine ledge of gold has been found in
Wayne county about twenty-five miles
from Thurbur- The ore has been test
ed several times and shows values of
from so cents to 81 in the yellow metal
TO the ton. The vein is a strong one,
and on the surface is all of six feet
wide, the formation being a true ifs
sure. But few locations have been
made on the ledge, and there is room
for number of good men to get in on
the ground floor. 1t is believed that
the ore can be treated by the cyanide
process, and the miners of this region
would like very much to have it tried
by this method of reduction.
