them carry lead-silver ores with more
or less gold One feature of the upper
end of the basin, and which renders
development work more or less diff
cult, are the frequent changes in the
formation, which are principally of
quartzite, uachite, porphyry and lime
In Bullion, as in Cottonwood and
Ten Mile, development work chiefly
consists of pot-holes and gophering.
The claims are chiefly owned by poor
men who are waiting for capital to
take hold and raise the district from
its longtime somnolence.
In conclusion, will say there is no
reason why this region should not be-
come one of the greatest in Utah. 1t
has the formation, the veins and the
ore, and a vast country yet to be
prospected. In nearly every gulch Is
a spring or small creek, and mining
timbers and fuel are abundant.
The advent of the railroad will do
much for the camp by making 1t easy
of access to investors. When capital
shall take hold of this region and pen
citrate to reasonable depths, as 1t does
in other camps, and the noise OF
hammers and drills and the echo Oh
shots fill the canyons with music other
than the signing of the winds or
the roar of contending elements, then
will streams of golden wealth pour out
of the gulches and from the grand
mountain sides to bless not only the
investors and miners but the patient
huSbandman along the Sewer.

Home Forum.

Home Forum No. COS initiated three new
members last Thursday evening and re-
ceived applications from half dozen
more, who are anxious to join this flour
ishing order. The question of an excur-
sion to Ogden on Friday next was dis
cussed at some length, about thirty mem
bers expressing their desire to participate
in the fraternal visit to the Forum at
that place, and the question was finally
laid over until next Thursday, when all
wishing to go will be expected to be pres
ent and be prepared to take tickets, which
will be on sale at the lodge room

Well-attended meetings have been the
rule the past week in Pythian circles,
and the hard workers are not discour-
aged by the many obstacles which ap-
pear in the way. The order in this
domain is daily growing larger, and
eleven applications were received last
week.
Last Saturday night the hall was a
place of festivity, the occasion being
the reception of Justus r. Temple No.
to its many friends. A short musical
and literary programme, with light re-
freShments, made the evening one that
will be long remembered by the Rath-
bone sisters and also the Pythfans.
Probably the last official visit of the
present grand lodge will be paid to-
morrow night to Godiva lodge No. s at

A. O. u. w.

If any Workman ever had any
doubts in regard to the number of
members of the A. o. u. w. in Salt
Lake city, they would have been dis
PEELED at once if he had attended Eagle
Gate hodge No. los meeting on We'd
nesday evening last 1t was a fra
ternal visit paid by the different lodges
and nearly all the Workmen in the city
turned out to partake of the good
things No. 10 had in store for them.
At 8 O'Clock the hall was filed to its
utmost capacity, and still others were
trying to gain admittance. Undoubted-
ly there were as many turned away as
We're in the hall, and many were the
questions asked the next morning by
the disappointed brothers about what
took place.
1t being just a week since the fam
Gus Ogden trip, there were doubts as
to whether so great a number of broth
ems would turn out, but No. los popu-
larfty prevailed, ard they could not re-
sist the temptation of coming, and all
voted it the greatest and most enjoy
able evening ever spent in an A o. U.
w. lodge room.
1t was S:15 when the sign Standing
Room Only" was taken down and the
lodge called to order. Master Workman
Macquarrie presided and made a very
eloquent address of welcome to the Wis
ftors. He dwelt at length ON the sub
ject of fraternal visits, and called the
brothers attention to No. los wonder
full success due entirely to such visits
There is hardly a meeting of any of
the lodges in this city but what No. 10
is represented by some of its members,
and their speeches and pleasant re-
marks are always looked forward to.
He also mentioned the good work No.

This great order is making rapid
progress in the states and territories
of Utah, Wyoming. Montana, Idaiho
New Mexico and Arizona 1t offers it's
members most excellent facilities both
in the way Of fraternal association and
and financial protection for their fam
lies, and total disability and old age
benefits for the members themselves.
Sir Knight E. w. Sanders is the eff
ficient state deputy for Idaho, and I'M
der his wise management that state is
piling up fine membership
Montana has now fifteen local organ
izations and the work is progressing
nicely in that state.
The work is being pushed in Wyo-
ming and in the southern territories of
New Mexico and Arizona.
Sir Knight r. f. TaltersaIl has
charge of the southern portion of Wyo-
ming, and Sir Knight A. S. Knapp is
the capable officer in charge of New

The regulations of this order are
such as to secure for membership only
the best physical and moral risks. and

The discarded old seats werere-

Speaking of oil recalls the time
when about 20 years ago gas OK
plosion occurred in the narrows
down by the falls, that made re-
port heard miles around, and which
explosion rent heground for from
30 to so feet about. All about
these rents the ground was satura-
ted with oil, and gas was SMILED
every where in the air and since
which time it has been thought
and predicted by many that oil
and gas could be found there in
abundance. We have never heard
it disputed either. So strong was
the explosion large stones were
thrown for miles around and across
the river into Ohio Old citizens
here tell of many others that have
occurred prior to this. Gas has
often been seen at nights burning
along this place, and many are the
legends told of the k-O'lanterns
that stalk forth in their hideous
midnight habilments along this
lonely place in the narrows by the
falls. The railroad runs along
there now, soaring a good many OF
the ghosts away.

Chairman carter.

About the most amusing thing
present politics is the apparent
determined effort of the Repub-
can organs to decry the standing
lis prominence of Tom Carter,
hartman of the Republican Ma
onal Executive committee. With
We other Republican United
tates Senators Mr. Garter has de-
Iared that, if the next National
Republican convention is domina-
ted by the gold bugs, and an anti
silver platform adopted, the entire
Republican west will leave the
party. Such disruption of the
Party of Spoils would mean its
everlasting and permanent defeat.
In treating this unexpected rebel
lion within the party lines caution
and prudence has given way to de
nunciation and threat, and the split
has reached such proportions that
the life of the party is at stake. 1t
cannot we'll be denied that the
Minneapolis platform was strongly
in favor of silver, and that the Re
publican campaign of 1894 was
fought on that issue throughout
the west. A fair construction of
the platform, and tho limitless
promises of party leaders led Re-
publican silver men everywhere
to rally to the support of the Re-
publican candidates, with an over
whelming success. That success
was promptly followed by an abso-
Lutte and complete disclaimer of
every vestige of friendship for
silver, except as necessary but
outlawed money, Every promise
has been broken, every pledge re-
pudiated. Carter's position i'll the
party gives him prominence be-
yond his intellectual merits per
haps, but his party put him where
he is, and he is the recognized head
of the Republican organization OF
the country. .-Sentinel.

SUMMER IS APPROACHING.
What are the Business Men Going :,
do to Improve Point Pleasanti

What are the Business Men Going q
do to Improve Point PLEASANT
AS summer approaches natural
and very important question arises
as to what progress our town will
make during the coming season,
In conversation with well-known
builder and contractor recently, he
informed the Register that the in
dications now are that there will
be large amount of building
done again this summer. The
people who think Point Pleasant
has reached it's limit in growth
will be surprised at the nu2 per of
new buildings that will be erected
the coming season.
There is but one thing that can
retard this steady and wholesome
growth of ours in the way of build
ing and that is the reaching of the
limit of employment. Somewhere
and sometime that limit will be
reached if no new industries en-
ploying more men are not put on
foot. We have repeatedly called
attention to this feature of our
business situation. The surplus
money of this community should
be put to work in the labor en-
ploying lines. Plenty of capital
will come into the community
with which to build houses to nc
comodate labor if once the labor is
here with remunerative employ
ment. Therefore it is a paramount
duty of those in control of the To-
cal capital to invest it SO as to give
employment. The question oi
what to start can be easily settled
Everybody in this section knows
that factories of any kind can be
started up and worked at profit
as we have good shipping facilities
with our railroads and two rivers
Friends, now is the time to be
gin this work. Now is the time
to put on a new suit of armor anc
get the business to moving
Who'll start?

THREE NEW ENGINES
Ordered by Mr. Burt, Of the Ohio River
Railroad Company Wednesday-Ad'
ditionaI II. II. o. Service.

| OOluptAuy NONhVSN0J
ditlonal II. r. o. Service.
| Vice-President and General Man
ager Geo. A. Burt, of the Ohio
River Railroad Company have
closed an order with the Brooks
Locomotive Company, of Dunkirk,
/ N. Y, for three new ten-wheel, 30
ton locomotives, which will be de-
livered in May and which are in
tended to handle freight trains.
Increased business made it abso-
lutely necessary that additional en-
gines be purchased. This makes
five new locomotives that this road
has purchased within the last six
months. The engines ordered yes
terday will be modern in every de-
tail and costly.
Mr.. Burt has been working for
the past three or four months to
put on additional railway postal
service and yesterday received a
notice from the u. S. Mail Depart
ment at Washington, that such
will be done. According to the
order received mail will be handled
from Wheeling to Kenova on train
No. 3, and from Kenova to Park
ersburg on train No. 8. Also from
Parkersburg to Wheeling on train
No. 4.
This additional mail service will
supply important mail facilities
from the fact that train No. 3, leav-
ing Wheeling, will receive mail di-
rect from New York City, Philo-
delphia and Pittsburg and other
important points east and deliver
the same to all offices along the
line. The same thing is true of the
return train leaving Kenova, which
will receive from G. go. trains the
Cincinnati morning publications,
as also mails from ST. Louis and
Chicago. From the foregoing it
can be readily seen that this addi-
tional service will be of great value
to all business institutions located
along the line of the Ohio River
Railroad. This new service will
require three new modern mail
cars and they are now being built
by the Pullman Car Company, OF
Pullman, Ill, and are to be in ser
vice not later than May 1st.

Tempus FugIt.

Majestically posing upon it's
time honored resting place stood
the old time piece that has for
many years guided the guests of
the Phoenix Hotel to meals and
trains and silently but accurately
told hundreds and thousands of
travellers and tourists the hour of
the day; but suddenly it stopped
never to go again. Years of
wear and jar seemed to have i'll
some manner loosened the base
upon which it rested and last even
ing at exactly 9:30 it made tour
through the air starting from its
lofty perch near the ceiling in the
lobby of the Phoenix and landing
upon the floor, making anoise like
the explosion of an anarchists
bomb and creating the utmost con
sternation among the guests.
After the debris had been cleared
away and the on-lookers i'll a
measure reconciled, twas amusing
to hear each describe his fright.
One man said he thought the Span
iards and Cubans had joined hands
and had suddenly charged upon
Point Pleasant with all the modern
and scientific inventions of war,
while others thought it just an
ordinary well developed earth
quake, When the proprietors of
the Phoenix want to know what
time it is now they go out and look
] at the sun.

A Bad Mix.Up.

A society item descriptive OF
marriage in local high life and an
account of the destruction wrought
at n large river town by a recent
freshet, got mixed up somehow in
country paper not long since and
read something like this:
Gone of the most brilliant social
events of the season was the we'd
ding yesterday, of Miss Susie, the
beautiful and accomplished daugh-
er of Mr.. and Mrs M, to1 500
rendered homeless by the turbulent
waters. The palatial residence of
the BRIDES parents was scene OF
chaos and desolation. Those who
were present all declare that they
never witnessed moro disastrous
accident caused by loose coal
barge, which struck the blushing
bride, dressed III pure white satin,
smashing her smoke stacks and
staving in her bulk-heads. An es-
capped fleet of twenty-six empties
did full justice to n dainty luncheon
of overturned shanty boats, floating
saw-mills haystacks and household
furniture, all carried down by the
resistless currents.
"With her usual graceful hospi-
tality, the BRIDES mother broke her
moorings, but was caught and tow
ed to safe harbor His many
friends will be glad to learn that
the bridegroom struck n pier of the
railroad bridge and was completely
wrecked. After few pleasant
hours spent in congratulating the
happy pair, tho party broke up on
the dam, part escaping unchanged,
the rest being smashed and sunk.
"The young couples large circle
of acquaintances are filled with ap-
prehension lest their homes be in
vaded and in view of the alarming
situation, many are taking to the
hills for safety"
We don't know, but we are in
clined to think the editor "took to
the hills" also the next day after
the issue of his paper came out.
