THE DEEP CREEK couArRY.
A SparseIy Settled Region That is
Rich In Mineral.

Across the dreary stretches of the
great sallow faced desert, away out
west near the Nevada line, but in this
county, nearly 200 miles from Mercur,
says the Mercur Miner, lies the Deep
Creek country, a sparsely settled re-
gion, but rich in gold. silver, lead,
copper, anthony and bismuth, await
ing only the magic touch of capital to
contribute of it's munificent mineral
stores to the prosperity and happiness
of thousands. This is not a case of
distance lending enchantment to the
view The mineral wealth of that re-
mote part of the state has long been
well known to all residents of Utah. as
well as to nomads of the pick and
shovel from all the mining states of
the Pacific coast The isolated situa-
ton of this interesting region, however.
has kept it in the background for
years. Clifton. the most noted of the
districts established in that quarter.

A FEW THINGS.

After listening to the debate in the
senate upon the exemption law the
question arises: ''What is justice and
equity anyway" For instance: One
portion of the measure reads that a
man shall have the right to exempt
from execution a homestead of the
value of 81 500, an amount equal to $500
for each minor child, two horses. mules
or oxen, with food for these for three
months, two cows with sucking calves,
two hogs with sucking pigs, tools, a
wagon, etc. Now there isn't anything
wrong with that portion of the bill; a
man ought to have something which
the cold, clammy creditor cannot get
onto and take away, but just look at
the situation the poor devil is in who
has nothing for his support save the
labor of his hands One-half of his
wages, no matter if they do not exceed
SO per week, are at the mercy of a cred
itor, who gets an execution, and in
many instances 1 am told the costs of
the garnishment sometimes nearly
equal the amount garnisheed.
If this is permitted to remain, wish
to ask how the poor laboring man
who happens to be in debt say for a
hundred or so can ever expect to &C
quire homestead? It is a condition
of affairs I am unable to comprehend.
One man with ample means for making
a living can rest secure in the posses
sion of good comfortable living; can
contract debts at the store and decline
to pay for the goods received and car
ny his point, while the man who gets
a few articles and is then taken i'll,
cannot liquidate by reason of this sick
ness or other causes, finds half OF his
first weeks wages gobbled by a vigor-
our constable, and that too at time
when he was facilitating himself that
at last he and the babies would enjoy
one square meal.
The average legislator gets up on his
hind legs and bowls about Corpora
tons having no souls" etc, etc. and
