Prosecuting Attorney Warf of Carbon
county was in the city yesterday He
came from Price the thriving city OF
city TO the Uintah and Uncompahgre Ute
Indian reservations, the latter of which

The gflsonite mines are the uppermost
topic Of talk amongst the people The
st. Louis company are sending tons and
tons of this valuable mineral 10 Price for
shipment east, and the Gunner mine at
Pariette IS also shipping large quantities.
There are lively times ahead in a very
short time on the reservation and at
Price. The Uncompahgre Utah Indians
don't like the situation of affairs. but they
don't want to show fight. and if chey did
the United States troops would anniEli-
