Toorle Transcript; Last Wednesday
the surveyors employed by the new
railroad returned from Rush Valley 10
Garfield, where, We understand, they
began crosa'atctioning. The route will
be- around BY Bfyan's place. thence up
the bench through Lake View, and
from there On I0Oele, with uep0t, etc.,
on John Tate's property. IL now seems
TO be sure thiug that the railroad will
come this way, although We have ro-
oelvod no positive information TO that
effect.
MI Pleasant Pyramid; Gilbert
BreckstTom, who has been out on tho
desert all winter with j, &, Madssn'a
sheep, came nome this week for short
stay. He reports that up 10 tho time Of
tho snow storm a couple OF weeks ago
sheep had passed the best winter 20 son
for number OF years. The storm,
however. proved quite disastrous to
several herds VI sheep which had Just
been eheatod, After shearing they
were being worked north aud several
bands were struck by the storm. The
sheep were easily chilled, anu made
no effort to rally, and as n consequence
something like 1000 head fT0Es TO
death between Gunnisnn ami the
southern limit Of the stoTm, Que band
losing as high as 700. Those which
were not sheaFod were all right.
81. George Union; We visited the
shop OF Mr.. 8. l.. Adams for the pur-
pose OF viewing On connection with
other) the finished pick, made for
ceremonial purposes, 90 DO used in
breaking the ground i0r the railroad
which is to run through this county,
ami we must FAY that II In hne speci-
men Of workmanship and also Of three
elements that ab0unds Ia this county.
Mr.. Adams found the mine, mined
the ore aud smelted the same and pro
ducsd tho copper pick. The imitation
steel points are made OF silver, made
at tho Woolley, Lund and Judd mill,
NJ Silver Rect = Each point contains
the same amount VI silver that Is con.
tained Ia an American dollar. The
body lie made " the best bullion
copper, being uin6ty-thtee psr cent
hne, from the hrst running from the
rock. The handle IL made from a ma
tive ash tree, anu fret class specimen
II ash, as It's grain showS, aud IL as
hne ~ eastern second growth ash. The
handle, pick aud points are the work
OF one mau, aud they certainly do
credit 10 both man and county The
object ui the pick ls q show that cop
| per sbounds ia this region, anu that
with railroad anu cheap tTanspOTla.
ti0u We could soDu be one OF the most
prosperous counties iu the state; but
Tor want OF transportation facilities
tens u thousands OF tons OF copper,

mhuI that might DO utilized. We trust
that ere long sho projectors Of the new

pieti0n OF its origin, after which It may
be- hung up aud grace the walls OF the
chief depot, IN 5alt Lake City, 5tAts
