STRIKE IN THE cHEcKMATE.
Splendid Showing In a Mine Owned
By Utah People.

In speaking of the Checkmate mine,
in Willow Creek district. Idaho, the
Pearl correspondent to the Boise States
man says:
The Checkmate company have been
drifting west since cutting the second
chute of ore as mentioned in your pa
per some time ago and have in the
past few days cut into another chute
that is equally rs good as the former
ore bodies uncovered in this mine The
second chute proves, as work pro-
crosses, TO be fully as rich ore as the
east chute. There are seven men work.
ing at present and in the near future
a much larger force will be employed.
The company will now, without a
doubt, sink the contemplated shaft, but
west of the present Wine at least 400
feet.
The correspondent also says:
The LeYiathan mine is showing I'D so
well that more men have been put on.
The ore body grows larger and is be-
Iieved TO be the best body of ore for its
size that has been found in the camp.

ABOUT EVENLY MATCHED.
Opposing Forces In Central America
Could Number $4,000 Each.

Washington, March lin the event
of a war between Nicaragua and Costa
Rica it is said that the alliance known
as the Greater Republic would give to
Nicaragua the armed strength of Sal
vador and Honduras. The Nicaraguan
army is estimated at about 5000 men.
Salvador has not more than 5000 SOL
diers, but Honduras has the best armed
and equipped force in Central America,
numbering $4,000. Against these the
Costa Rican army of about 5000 seems
insignificant, but in the present cal
culations it is thought that Guatemala
would cast her influence with Costa
Rica- Guatemala has an army of about
$4,000. In this event the forces would
be about evenly matched, with Near
aqua, Honduras and Salvador arrayed
against Guatemala and Costa Rica.

Eight miles west of Lehi, in Utah
county. there is a mountain in which
there is rare combination of mineral
dispositions, as, within its rocky breast
a fine ledge of gold bearing ore has
been discovered, while in the imme-
date vicinity there is d magnificent
quarry of beautiful onyx and a deposit
of black marble, one pleasing feature
of the situation being that these mines
and quarrieS OF the precious metal and
commercial commodities are within
easy reach of the railroad, and very
accessible, so that it will cost but little
to mine and place the mineral and the
stone on the market.
From Otto Hudson of Lehi, who was
in the city yesterday. it is learned that
in the development of the gold deposit
he has sunk an incline to a depth OF
90 feet on the vein, which is enclosed
between two well defined walls, the
ledge being all of five feet in width. the
average values at a lesser depth being
81 to the ton in the yellow metal, while
the mineral taken from the bottom of
the incline has the appearance of being
even higher in grade.
On the onyx ledge which has been
stripped for a distance of % feet, and
which is all of u feet in width, the
SlOut tAlSllIS layers III
thickness from to II inches, some
very fine slabs have been taken out,
some of which are two and a half feet
in width. ten inches thick and three
feet long, and it is stated that this onyx
is beautifully Variagated and fine in
texture, as well as in coloring, and Mr..
Hudson is of the opinion that when the
quarry is opened to a greater extent
this viii prove to be one of the best
producers of unexcelled onyx to be
found in this western country.
Not far distant from this onyx there
is a quarry of black marble, which is
fine in grain and close in texture, be-
sides which it is susceptible of beau
tiful polish.
In speaking of this gold, onyx and
marble, Mr.. Hudson states that the To-
cality in which they exist lis a great
HILL" and he would not be surprised to
see it a beehive of industry and a
source Of ever increasing wealth in
the near future.
Mr.. Hudson has for his partner in
this enterprise John Beck, of Bullion
Beck fame, who, it is learned, pro-
poses to devote considerable attention
to IL in the way of extensive develop
ment, as soon as he can get around

Mr.. Dunyan. who is deputy recorder

SnOwden and Fowler Against the

SUPREME COURT OPINIONS
RECOVERED JUDO
MENTS IN DISTRICT COURT.
W. A Matthews Gets a Decree of Di-
vorce-Will of Mrs. Fawkes Filed
For Probate; Also Petition For the
Appointment of Administrator
For the Estate of James Kendall.

Two opinions were yesterday handed
down by the supreme court in the
cases of Thomas Snowden VS.. the
Pleasant Valley Coal company, appel
liant, and William Fowler VS.. the
Pleasant Valley Coal company, appel
liant, both reversals.
Snowden sued to recover damages
for personal injuries sustained by him
in April. 1885, while he was employed
in the defendant company's mine. He
alleged that the accident was caused
by the negligence of the defendant in
not having the mine properly timbered.
and recovered a verdict and judgment
for $780,
The supreme court ordered the judg-
ment set aside and that a new trial
be granted. on the ground that irrele-
want testimony had been admitted at
the trial, said testimony tending to
show that the mine had been in a dan
gerous condition at a time or times
previous to the occurrence of the acct
dent.
FOWLER VS.. P. V. COAL co.
In the Fowler case the plaintiff also
recovered a judgment of $3.50 for per-
sonal injuries sustained by the alleged
negligence of the company in not hav-
ing the mine properly timbered.
The opinion says, after reviewing the
testimony at length: Plaintiffs testi-
mony shows that he negligently and
voluntarily placed himself in a place
he knew to be dangerous, at a time
when he was discharging no duty to
his employer. Under such circum-
stances his contributory negligence
was a question of law for the court,
and the non-suit asked for should have
been granted.
THE judgment is reversed and the
cause is remanded to the trial court,
with directions to set aside the judg-
ment and to grant the defendant a
judgment of non-suit against the plain
tiff
Both opinions were written by JUS
tfce Miner and cOncurred in by Justice
Bartch and District Judge McCarty.
