Deputy Sheriff Scheuer served notice
on Supervisor Toole yesterday order
ing the supervisors of Lackawanna
township to open road into Ransom
township. The proposed new road has
been mapped out by Civil Engineer
Dunning. The costs will in all prob
ability be equally divided among both
townships. This move will handicap
the supervisors as operations are un-
der way at present, which will eat up
the biggest part of the duplicate. Sup
ervisor Toole says the present and
much needed improvement will be fin
ished before they undertake another
task. In fairness to Messrs. Toole and
Quinn it can truthfully be said that
they have remedied deplorable spots
that have been eye-sores to pedes-
trians' for a number of years

You've probably heard of them be-
fore, but do YOU know why they
bear the name of the most famous
ladies' tailor in all christendom?
Probably not, so We'll let you into
the secret. A clean lined and we'll
moulded figure is as essential to
the success of the Modiste as per-
spective is to an artists picture.
No man knows this better than
Mr.. Redfern, so he not only LENT
THE BEST CORSET IN THE
WORLD HIS MAMIE, but gave 1t
his hearty and unqualified en-
dorsement as the best.
Yet, if Redfern corsets had noth-
ing but beauty of outline to rec
ommend them, they would fall far
short of the hight standard we
claim for them. Their chiefest
merit lies in the fact that (un-
less deformed) EVERY WO-
MANS FIGURE CAN BE FIT
TED ACCURATELY AND CON-
FORTABLY from the various
models without the slightest risk
to health or sacrifice of perfect
comfort. THE REASON Is simply
this:

DUGwAY PROPERTY.

The Alpha Company Preparing for
syHtematie Development
The Alpha Gold Mining company,
recently incorporated, proposes to wage
war with it's properties In the Dugway
district during the coming spring
and summer, by opening up the
ground and testing ss never before
what the claims, ten In number, really
contain.
The claims are said TO cover two
separate and distinct fissure veins,
running north and south, which arr
claimed to be a continuation OF the rich
ore bodies found In the Galens anu
Utah mines at Fish Springs. One OF
these veins carries gold and copper,
the other silver, lead ana gold.
On claim known as the Silverado
No. !, u shaft has been sunk to a depth
OF sixteen feet, from the bottom OF
which y sample OF ore was recently
taken which assayed sS6.s0 to the ton.
The vein at this point Is eight feet IL
thicEness. A tunnel is now being
driven into the mountain on the
Silverado No. l vein, and when sufii.
cientIy under cover, regular shipmen .
of ore will follow. From the vein on
the Fremont claim samples have been
taken which showed SS4.20 in gold
and copper TO the ton.
From claim adjoining the Silvera-
do No. l, tue Magic City company is
sacking and shipping ore when gives
seventy per Cent laAd, tweuty.six
ounces la silver and from SO to IS In
gold, and thore seems to bs no duuot
but that this vein, when properly de-
