Of Business.
Only two members were present
at Mondays meeting Of the County
Commissioners, Chairman Luke
Syphus aud member John Simpson.
Member james Glles was not pres
ent nor District Attorney McNamee.
Several DeLamar bills, which called
for some explanation, were in couse-
quenco laid over till the June meet
ing Of the board.
A petition was received from St.
Thomas asking for the appointment
of Jake Bauer there as Justice of
the Peace, as the whole Muddy
valley is without such an officer.
The petition was returned to be
dated and otherwise amended.
The petition for the formation of
a road district which was returned
to Eagle valley last month to have
the limits of the proposed district
defined was re-hled. The district
was thereupon ordered created,
numbered 6, with the following
boundaries: Commencing at a point
half way between Phoebe and Eagle
valley and extending south ten
miles, or far enough to Join the
Panaca district; thence east 20 miles
to the State line; thence north u
miles, establishing the northeast
corner of the district; thence west
30 miles to the northwest corner;
thence south to the place of begin
ming.
The order heretofore made abol-
ishing Helene school district was
rescinded and school will be opened
there at once. There is $3.50 in the
fund on which to commence.
The monthly reports of the var
ious county officers were passed
upon and approved and a list of
claims allowed as appears in another
column.
DIR. A. IL. Hagar of DeLamar
sent in request that his salary as
county physician at DeLamar be in
creased from $25 a month to $50.
No action was taken on the matter.
The doctor entered into contract
some three months ago to perform
the service for year at $25 a month,
The sum of $500 dollars was
ordered transferred from the Gen
eral Fund to the Officers Salary
Fund.
No further business appearing,
the board then adjourned to meet
again on Monday the 7th day of
June.

DeLamar's 1000. 90 Prize

Capt. j, r. DeLamar has offered
a prize of $50, 100000 to the man or
men who will discover process by
which the gold may be extracted
from the "arsenical" ores of the
Golden Gate property in the Mer-
cur District in Utah, so that they
may be treated practically on large
scale. The gold can be extracted
now by first roasting the ores but
this roasting involves too great an
expense.
The offer has set many metallur-
gists and others at work to devise
same means, both here and in Eu-
rore.
There are several properties in
this county, the Chief District mines
and some at Bristol, which cannot be
worked protfably for want of some
such process.

PANACA POINTS

w. I. Rich will go to State Line

The rock for the foundations of
the new schoolhouse and the new

ed for the buildings and the work
of construction should begin soon.
Miss Alice Findlay expects to go
north in a few weeks to remain for
year or more, and may take a spe-
cial teachers course at the Provo
Academy before returning,
Joe. Ronnow has purchased one
sixth interest in the Utica claim at
State Line. A part of the title is in
dispute, but that is frequently the
case with property of value, and
that seems to be the case with the
Utica as it is now regarded as one
of the best claims in State Line.

Strike in the Yuba.

Last fall the old Pacific tunnel
east of the Meadow Valley divide,
was opened up and work on it
pushed to reach the Yuba vein. The
porphyry dyke was reached but no
ore found, and the first workers gave
it up, Later, the work was prose
cuted by VIM. Lloyd and John r.
Cook, and drifting was begun along
one of the veins to connect with the
old Yuba workings, which, after
running something like 100 feet, de-
veloped a nice bunch of galena ore,
rich in silver. These ore pitches oc.
cur with some regularity in the Yuba
and vary in size If the present de.
velopment proves a lucky one it will
afford summers work for a mum

At the Muddy.

Advices from the southern part of
the county show that the season
this year is several weeks later than
usual, The settlers, as a rule are
satisfied with this since it lessons the
danger of frost and almost insures
large fruit crops.
Extra crops of other products are
expected. The first crops of alfalfa
were cut last week, and grain, SOW
ed in the fall, is beginning to head
out. This will be ready for harvest
early in June.

KILLING At STATE LINE.
Billy Morgan Killed in the Street at
Line City in Dnel with the Con-
c4ahfa

State Line District registers its
first killing The report Of the
affair, brought in on this mornings
stage from Desert Springs is, that
yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock
Billy Morgan, a prospector and
claim owner, came down from one
of the camps above Line City some
what under the influence Of liquor
He was on horseback and was
evidently looking for row as he
announced that he had come down
to kill some s-of a b.. Jack
Lund, the constable, cxpostulatod
with him and told him to keep quiet
or he would place him under arrest.
Morgan returned to his camp and
a little later came back armed with
a Winchester rifle. Lund ATTEMPTED
again to quiet him and have linn
return to camp, when Morgan With
drew distance of 50 or IS yards
and sitting in the street, began shoot
ing at Lund. He fired number Of
times, several bullets striking the
house near which Lund stood.
When Morgan began shooting Lund
drew his pistol and fired once OF
twice in the air, but when Morgan's
bullets began striking the house,
Lund turned his weapon upon him
and struck him twice in the body,
Death followed shortly after
Morgans death is doubtless due
to his own recklessness. He has
followed the life of a prospector for
years and was in this section during
the construction of the railroad grade
in 1890. He was a heavy drinker
then and will be remembered as get
ting into trouble through taking Il
shot at one Silvio Papina, in the
streets of Panaca.
He afterwards took the Kelley
treatment for alcoholism, and for
several years was industrious and
sober. Lately he became interest
ed in State Line, and last Dec
ember took an option on part of n
claim there. He went to Salt Lake
and within the past month return
ed, prepared to take up his option.
He had with him S166. 90. Through
taking cold and feeling unwell he
began moderate drinking at Panaca,
and after day or two, finding part
of his money gone, and himself un-
able to conclude his mine transac-
ton, went on a spree and squander-
ed the balance of his fund.
On coming to his senses he was
much depressed and appeared to
grow desperate stating that he
"didn't care how soon he died or
was killed as he would never face
his relatives after again breaking in
to his old drinking habit He went
up to State Line from Panaca and
is reported to have had trouble
almost Immediately and caused one
party to make himself scarce for Il
day on some mine transaction.
Morgan was man of small stat
ure andof pleasant address when
sober Hewas easily affected by liquor
however, particularly since taking the
Kelley treatment, and these facts,
coupled with the recent experience
es and conduct, afford some explain
alton of the apparently unreasonable
manner of his death.

According to the Brooklyn Eagle
if Spain had kept her wood she
might keep Cuba. Its argument is
that when her woods were cut away
she lost her springs and rivers; there
with she lost her arms and means Of
livelihood; she lost with food and
wealth, her schools and arts; her
population diminished, her initiative
disappeared; therefore she is today
week nation, unrecognized among
the powers. We do not want this
country to become another Spain.
Keep the forests that we may have
rivers, keep the birds that we may
have crops and we shall continue to
be great people.
County scrip, heretofore practical
ly valueless is selling now for % cents
on the dollar. Under the new re-
deumption law all certificates, young
and old, stand the same chance of
redemption when there is any sur
plus in the General County Fund.
This seems unfair to those who have
held certificates for the last Is years,
but it was proposed to make no dis
tinctions in this class of our county
Indebtedness.
Every locator of a mining claim
since the 10th of March, is advised
to look carefully into the provisions
of the new law as to marking bound
aries and necessary work. The old
method of locating is completely
changed, and there is yet time to
correct any mistakes which may
have been made in locating, due to
ignorance of the fact that any new
law on the subject existed since a
notice of location need not be re-
corded for ninety days.
jim Hunt came in from State
Line last Monday for medical assist
ance. He is the man who last FRI
day fell 60 feet down the shaft of
the Delmue mine. He was descend
ing the ladders with canteen of
water when his foot slipped and he
went to the bottom, How he es-
capped death is mystery. He seems
to have experienced no hurt except
to his right arm, which, since the
accident, has appeared to be some
what paralyzed. He returned to
State Line yesterday.

Origin OF Brother Jonathan,

When Washington, after being n
pointed general commander Of b
army of the revolutionary war, can,
to Massachusetts to organize It, al
make preparations for the defense
the country, he found great want I,
ammunition and other means necesar
to meet the powerful foe he had tOui|
tend with, and great difficulty to "
tain them.
If attacked in such condition d
cause at once might be hopeless .,
this occasion, at that anxious pend1I
a consultation of the officers and othI1
was had, when 1t seemed no way Nai
be devised to make such preparalAH
as were necessary.
Jonathan Trumbull was then @'1
ernor Of the State Of Connecticut ~
the general, who placed the greatsh I
lance on his judgment and aid, rensn
ed:

ON the subject"
The general did so, and the Govern
was successful in supplying man!
the wants of the army. N
When difficulties Afterwards aros
and the army was spread over thec0u

Recent discoveries in the coal mines
Of Central France have furnished by
far the greatest advance that has ever
been made in our knowledge of the in
sects which inhabited the world mill
Ions Of years, as geologists believe, be-
fore the time when man made his ap-
pearance upon the earth. In that Won
derful age when the carboniferous
plants, whose remains constitute the
coal beds of to-day, were alive and
fiourishing, the air and the soil were
animated by the presence of flies, grass
hoppers, cockroaches. dragOn-fiies, spi-
ders, locusts and scores of other spe-
cies which exist but slightly changed

those remote times attained.a gigantic

Prairie PinpIes.

Southwestern Louisiana is bordered
along the coast with broad sandy and
gravelly plains to which the name Of
''pimpled prairies" has been given. This
curious title comes from the circular
mounds, arranged in zones and along
intersecting lines, with which large
areas of the plains are covered. For
merly these mounds, which average
fifty feet in diameter and attain Occa-
sionally height of ten feet, were sup
posed to have been made by ants, with
whose nests they abound. But recent
ly Professor Clendenin, of the Louis
lana State University, has found rea-
son for thinking that the mounds were
formed through the blowing up Of niud
by gas escaping from vents in the
ground. The arrangement of the
mounds in zones and lines is accounted
for by supposing that the gas vents
existed along the fractures radiating
from an earthquake center.

A Kite a Mile High,

Since an account was given in this
column of the high kite-fyiny expert
ments at the Blue Hill Observatory,
near Boston, all previous records have
been eclipsed there. In 1895 the great
est elevation reached by kite was .
800 feet above sea-level, or 1,06O feet
above the summit of the hill. During
the past summer half a dozen times Il
Kite was sent up more than a mile
above sea-level, and on one occasion
the height attained was 1893 feet
above the sea, being 1000 feet more
than mile above the hilltop. The
experiments are made with the So
called "tailless' or Eddy kites, and tie
box" or Hargrave kites. The highest
Hight was made by an Eddy kite. The
purpose is scientific, as the kites carry
self-recording instruments by means
of which the temperature and humidity
or the air at great elevations can be
measured. Sometimes the kites bass
through clouds, the thickness of which
is revealed by the record of the in.
struments.

Iron Ouarriea.

Very interesting facts, not generally
known, about the iron mines of Spain.
We're discussed at a recent meeting Of
the Iron and Steel Institute of Great
Britain. 1t is from Northern Spain.
In the neighborhood of Bilboa, that the
greater part of the iron ore imported
for the use Of British steel-makers is
obtained. Steel is made by the basic
process from iron ore containing phos-
phorus; but for the best qualities of
steel, which is made by the open hearth
process. purer ore must be used, and
1t is that which England imports from
Spain. Nature" says the English sci

The Wonderful Phagocyte,.

When drop Of human blood Is Mac.
ed between two plates of glass AID ex-
amined with microscope 1t Is seen
to contain, beside the minute disks
which give 1t its red color, little whit
ish grains called white corpuscles."
If the glass is warmed to a tempcra
ture equal to that of the human BODY
these corpuscles, or phagocytes, MS they
are otherwise called, will be seen to put
out and retract minute processes,
which, as If acting the part of feet,
enable the phagocytes to crawl over
the surface Of the glass. The Russian
naturalist, Metchnikoff, has discovered
that the phagocytes in our blood feed
upon the microbes of infectious dis
eases, when such microbes are intro
duced into the system. Sir Joseph
Lister, president Of the British Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science
believes that this action of the pha-
gocytes, which is scientifically named
"phagocytosis," ''is the main defensive
means possessed by the living body
against its microscopic foes" When
ever a wound is made in any part of
the body the phagocytes, like we'll
trained soldiers. rush to the breach and
make war upon the putrefactlye Ini-
crobes endeavoring to enter the system.
