Stone.P Pounding Days Over for Some
County Prisoners.

By order OF the board Of county
commissioners three prisoners who
have been boarding with Sheriff Rob-
son and breaking stone as pastime
and for exercise were released Wed.
nesday there being no apparent in
dication that they would ever pay
their fines and costs.
The trio was: c. H. Travis, late
confidence man and political refugee;
VIM. Latin, Solomon's representative
on the docket; H. L. Mckinney, pur-
loiner Of Murphy's delivery wagon.
They were let out on condition that
they pay fine and costs in two days or
he reimprisoned. 1t is needless to
say that nobody expected them to
pay up and they won't either. But
indications are that by the end Of 4S
hours they will be so far away that
they won't trouble Dickinson county
for awhile--and that's why the condi-
tons were imposed.
The destinations OF the three men
on being liberated were somewhat
diverse.
Travis struck the Union Pacific
track and took tie pass toward
Detroit. Bets were freely offered
with no takers among the court house
officers that he would work some
sucker before he had gone ten miles.
Mckinney was told by Under
Sheriff Smith that II he was visible In
two hours he would be arrested on O
charge Of stealing Smiths harness.
He wasn't visible and Is not likely to
be. Where he went or how he fares
nobody knows and nobody cares.
Latin professed much humiliation
and expressed an earnest desire to &c
home to Beloit and begin life ovel
again on better plan and with bet
ter results. He was so earnest about
it that Stambaugh loaned him 81 as
basis for good behavior. After get
ting it he reconsidered his resolution
and commenced patronizing thu
southside pilliwink dispensaries. Al
ter SO long period Of enforced teeto
talism the unexampled freedom wal
too much for him and at 2 o'clock HI
was escorted up Broadway by Marsha
Favor enroute to the city bastile, to'
drunk to talk and scarcely sobe
enough to walk. Freedom don't seen
to do him much good.

THE WESTERN SLOPE.
Comments of the Mercur Mercury

We do not think that the people of
Utah as yet grasp the fact that within
the last three weeks a gold producing
area greater than all hitherto developed
in the great Camp Floyd district. has
been opened in the western foothills.
and extending, probably, under the en-
tire Rush valley, and that within that
time the vein has been opened on three
large groups, but that in each place the
ore is of excellent milling value. With
the exception of the Walkers and a few
others the mining men of Utah do not
seem to realize the significance of these
facts, but mining men of other sections

denied rush for properties in that sec

There were hut few transfers Of
stock during the call in the pit of the
Mining Exchange yesterday, but there
was considerable activity in the bid
ding and some advances were noted.
When Anchor was called it was evil
dent that this stock was slated for
gains in the bidding, although in the
offerings it chronicied some losses.
Ajax was inactive but firm at the clos
ing quotations of Wednesday. DAILY
exhibited a slight upward tendency in
the bids but in the offerings it re-
NAMED unchanged. .Daly-West was
also stationary but very strong at the
figures of the previous CALI Geyser
and Gaiena remained practically IN
changed, and -Four Aces was in the
same condition. Mercur failed to make
any decided gains although it advanced
q few cents both in the bidding and
offerings. Mammoth was not at all
brisk and was quoted a little below the
usual figures.
There was but little change in the
unlisted stocks. although they created
considerable interest as usual Swan
sea remained steady at the regular
quotation. while a decline was noted in
South Swansea both in the bids and
offerings. Sacramento was called for
the first time and promises to become
one of the most popular stocks on the
board, and as the buyer and seller
were not widely separated on this, the
first offering of the stock, ii is more
than likely that it will figure quite ex-
tensiVely in the dealings hereafter.
Northern Light was the only active
stock on the board and 100 shares of
this paper sold at so cents a share.
Dalton was offered in small lots at 3

this figure. Natural Gas developed an
