The wires have been loaded of late
with reports Of big gold and copper
strikes in Wyoming and Montana, IN
til it began to look as if Utah had
been left out in the cold as far as
rich discoveries were concerned.
Not SO, however, and the good name
of the state has been saved from this
disgrace. as it was learned yesterday
that within the past two weeks most
important find had been made in
Tooele county. near the dividing line
between Columbia and Blue Bell dis
trict, and it is believed that when the
details OF the strike are made public,
this section will enjoy a genuine boom.
The Herald was informed on excel
lent authority yesterday that in . prop

three miles east of the Silver King
mine, on Government creek, fOur-fOot

and, after running this in distance of
2l0 feet the ore body was uncovered,

average assays as above stated, so that

Sugar.

EDITOR REe1srER.-In the Ga
.zette of to-day it is said that on
FSeptember 3rd, 1896, sugar cost
S4.47 and on August 26th, 1897,
S4.72". We like fairness and the
truth in all things. and we are pre-
pared to prove to the Gazette, that
its statement is not true, by the
merchants of Point Pleasant,
whose bills show the wholesale
price, September End. 1897, $3.50,
and August 22nd, 1897, S5.27.
Certainly between August 22nd
and the 26th, and September End
and the 3rd, there could not be such
fuctuation in prices, and no
merchant in Point Pleasant did or
could buy at the Gazette's figures.

The Gazette makes a "mountain

tain contract we got from Hogg,
Tomlinson g Wiley, for printing
a record in the celebrated Miller
win case at Pittsburg, and which
we sub-let to another Office. Had
we known the Gazette was anxious
to purchase the material for this
Job, we would have given them a
chance to have done SO, by con-
tracting with them for its printing.
1t would have taken about 81 600
worth of type. rules, leads, slugs
and stands to have printed the
work, and from Is to 20 sober, in
dustrious printers working day and
night to have completed it with
the twenty days time allotted for
the work. They complain because
we did not keep the work here for
home printers. We would have
done SO had there been enough of
them to have done the work. We
have the material to do it with,
that is certain not the time or
force. But this dirty, contemplate
attempt to create a feeling against
us among the printers, comes with
bad grace from a gang" who hire
foreign printers to do their job

He has been seen by quite num-

an escaped lunatic, and fear that
the fires that heve been raging and
that have caused so much destruc-

have been started by In. They
have organized posse to capture
him if possible, and find out who

yesterday evening destroyed a
barn, several stacks of hay and a
great deal of fencing for Mr.. John

With view to assisting West
Virginia school teachers who have
only the summer season for study,
and hoping to attract students in
large numbers from other States,
the Regents OF the State Univer-
sity have adopted the plan of the
University of Chicago-the only
one in this country run on this
plan-and will not close the State
University at all this year. The
year will be divided into four
terms, and all of the departments
will be open in the summer, as
well as during the regular school
months. A system of teaching by
correspondence will also be intro
duced for the great majority who
cannot attend college, and want
some regular and systematic in
struction. Degrees are not given
for such work, but under certain
conditions, credit will be made if
such students should ever enter
the University.
