as soon as spring fairly opened, over
1000 men floel1ed ito the new field and
swarmed up and tdown Warren creek
and tributary gulclaes.
The tent stakes Of the town on Sum
nit fat were pulled up and two others
started. one called Washington, which
stands today but is commonly called
Warren and is so named in the post
Office department, and the other was
al the mouth of Slaughter gulch and
was called Richmond These names
we're suggested because of the civil war
then in progress, and is may be owing
10 the loyalty of the miners then at
Warren that Richmond soon went to
pieces and was no more.
The spring of 1863, with its excite
ment and rush brought the need of a
system OF supplies, and several more
stores were started and large pack
trains put on the trail for Lewiston to
bring in freight for, which the packers
received % and 80 cents a pound The

MAUDE ADAMS ENGAGEMENT
Maude Adams. the pretty little Salt
Lake actress. has Just closed an en-
gagement here in a drama tizatiOn OF
]. NJ. Barries' novel, The Little Min
ister." 1t gives fine opportunities for
her peculiar talents. and has been
most adroitly arranged to give the star
the center of the stake throughout the
play. She appeared at the Lafayette
Square opera house and had good au-
dienceS during the week The Even
ing Star says of Miss Adams work in
the role of Lady Babbie: Miss Adams
is Sd charming woman in her proper
sphere that 1t is uncomfortable to think
of the semi-soubrette- seni-tragic airs
which she was Obliged to assume as the
gypsy girl. Lovable she was at all
times. but Maude Adams as a rock
climbing, soldier defying, forest scout
ing hoyden-it would be more than a
miracle, for miracles produced only
pililanthropic and desirable results. She
should be content To leave the laurels
of Lolita and Maggie Mitchell undis-
turbsd. Miss Adams has a, field Of her
own in the drama of society. 1t is not
enough that she was winsome at all
times during the performance. The
public knows what she can do and VIII
demand that she be seen at her best"
1t is a testimony OF most of those
who witnessed the play however. that
il affords Miss Adams q splendid op-
portunity. and that after it is pruned
of the dense Scotch dialect that now

THE OLD ALICE MINE.
The Company Taking Out Large
Quantities of Ore.

Regarding the Alice mine at Walker
vile, Mont. the stock of which is
largely held by Salt Lake people. the
Butte Miner says:
The Alice company is operating the
60-stamp mill to its full capacity in
WalkeryiIIe and some rich ore is being
taken from the Alice, Blue Wing and
Magma Charta mines. Preparations are
also being made TO operate the Calde-
mere, which has lately been timbered,
and ore will be taken out at the 120foot
station, where large quantities of rich
silver ore is blocked out The Alice
which is down 1900 feet, is one of the
oldest mines in the camp and the lower
levels are being worked along success
fully, the quality and quantity of the
ore holding out az good as nearer the
surface. This is the mine which has
aided the Alice company in years gone
by to pay millions of dollars in divi-
bends. and the company to accumulate
new properties, many OF them giving
promise of even greater wealth than
that taken from the Alice. In the Blue
Wing some exceedingly rich ground
has been opened up recently and the
gold found in the silver has come in at
a very convenient time, when silver
does not command the price it once did
on the markets In mGst of the mines
nov being operated by the Alice COM
pany there is considerable gold in the
silver ore. but While silver was $1.29
an ounce this was not considered of
so much consequence, as the silver ore
vas very rich and great deal of
money was made in the operation of
the mines When Superintendent Ruzzo
took charge of the company's interests
in WalkerVille silver only commanded
81 cents an ounce, but Notwithstanding
this handicap the company has paid
some handsome dividends since that
time and the properties of the company
were never before il as good shape as
a; present to take out and economically
treat ore from the mines The mines
are opened up in a most satisfactory
way and larger quantities of reserve
ore stands blocked out ready to be
hoisted.

The Park Record. in its weekly min
ing review, says:
Superintendent John ]. DAILY was
seen by representative of the Record
yesterday afternoon prior to his de
parture for Salt Lake, and questioned
regarding the outlook for q resumption
of work at the Daily West He was
sorry that lie had no news to i1npart
that would cause any rejoicing among
the people of Park City Asked as to
whether he intended to equip the Daily
West MIL with Whitley tables, the gen
tieman stated that a close watch was
being kept on the results of the
Anchor peoples test, and it was prob
able that ere long the DAILY West mill
would be equipped with them. unless
something better presented itself He
said 1t was the purpose of the company
TO get things in shape at the mill so
that in the event Of silver going to a
price that would pay them to work the
property, nothing would he in the way
10 cause delay. Mr.. Daily said that
contrary to general belief. the DAILY
West Gre does not carry a large per-
centaEe OF lead, the best ore in the mine
OF that character averaging only from
10 10 20 per cent. so the fact that lead
was worth 81 per hundred was not the

pie thought il ought TO be- So soon as
the company saw its way clear to pay
back to the stockholders, in the way of
dividenS, some of the vast amount OF
money they had sunk in the ground,
the property would surely resume, and
he believed that some thing would yet
be done this fall that would bring that
condition around. From the trend of
Mr. Days remarks the scribe was led
to believe that nothing viii be done at
the Daily West in the way of resump-
ton til silver is worth 70 cents or
better.

is held there is no punishment provided
by the laws of the United States for

an assault with intent TO kkl, in any

Another question that has arisen
quite frequently is that of the postal
laws concerning lotteries and under the
express company laws concerning lot

pottery tickets or advertisements from

nal statute and strictly construed 1T
is questionable whether this language
would include the carrying from a state

Another feature of the penal code
which gives US some trouble is that Of
the sale of whisky to Indians, which
siCns, and all statutes provide that 1T
shall be a crime 10 sell or dispense
shall be a crime to sell of dlsoens,A
liquor to an Indian under the charge of
an Indian agent. Now, on the southern
boundary of Arizona we nave very
many instances indeed of the case of
selling LIQUOR to Indians who are ma
ti,yes of Mexico, being the CCco-rail and
Yaqui Indians, and the result is as dis
asTOus in these cases as in the cases
where the Indians are under the charge
of a. United States Indian agent. yet il
seems to be no violation of the law and
a great deal of crime results from such
sales.
CRIMES ON RESERVATIONS.
THE matter that I desire to call your
attention particularly to Is the act Of
March ;, 1885, being % statute at large,
page 3S5, wherein 1t is provided that the
crime of murder. manSlaughter, rape,
assault with intent to kin. arson. bur
glary, larceny when committed by In
dams upon Indian reservations, is TIT
able in the territorial court, contra dis
tinguisled from the United States court
or the United States side OF tine terri
toTGal court. BY reason of this statute
crime simply goes unpublished. Nearly
all of the counties have reservations
Within their borders. and many of them
are poor and largely in debt, ami they
absolutely refuse to allow to be prose
cuted these cases Within their counties
at tine county s expense, and ii seems
reasonable THAT where, upon a res5,rva-
item, one INDIAN commits Il crime
against another Indian, that the United
States should bear the expense, rather
than that of the particular county.
Nearly every board of supervisors in
this county has petidoned congress in
this matter, and I believe a bill has
on several occasions been presented by
the judiciary committee L know the
transfer of the Jurisdiction to the fed
eral side of the court has been recon-
mended by the attorney general, the
comptroller and the auditor. and the
government of this territory upon sew
