The casa was tried at Socorro before
Judge Freeman and resulted in q judg-

by thriving cities their hunting grounds
are dotted by fertile farms, and the
mountain Businesses which were their
strongholds are yielding annually
precious metals, the value Of which can
only be computed in the million-doilar
column. Surrounding the site OF the
first camping grounds of 148 souls,
there is a wealthy. beautiful and pro-
gressive city of $4,000 people. From
nucleus, has grown . state OF 300,-
900 people, and because Of the hardi-
hood and bravery shown by the pio-
neers of Utah the magnificent empire
known as the inter-mountain country
owes its existence. 1t is therefore ft.
ting that the central idea Of the cele-
bration should be to honor the deeds
Of the pioneers by honoring those who
