The Spring Floods.

Marysvale, April 2.-The lower reser-
voir of the Marysvale Reservoir COM
pany, situated about five miles north Of
here, has been carried out by the high
water OF the S.vier river. Nathan
Hardy. frtighter between here and
Belnap, has iast Brought the news that
shortly after noon today the gates were
carried away, lowering the water in the
dam some three ieet. The dam held
some seventeen feet OF water. As the
dam is composed OF masonry and earth,
which Hardy reports as crumbling fast
before the rush of water, it will un-
doubtedly a II go out before dark letting
fall OF water some fourteen feet high
down the Sewer canyon. This will un-
doubtedly cause considerable damage to
the Rio Grande Western track ard right

The enter tainment given in the meet

w l.. Arnold, assisted by n. rcrchers,
was most ENJOYABLE one. The grama-
phone is the latest production of Ameri-

calculated to amuse and instruct an
audience with the variety and faithful
ness with which it reproduces vocal and
instrumental selections. Judge Arnold
very kindly gave the proceeds OF the
entertainment to the missionary fund
Mr.. .Borchers is one OF the foremost
piano tuners and regulators in America,

COLONEL WILLARD YOUNG.
Recruiting Engineers From Cincin-
natl

Recruiting Engineers From Cincin-
natl.
Cincinnati Enquirer: When Colonel
Young arrives in this city he will find
a well organized and drilled company
of engineers. Colonel Young left Wash
ington last week for the west to visit
the various. cities IN which companies
for his regiment are being organized,
and is expected here any day. 1t is for
this reason the work of getting the en-
gineers in shape for inspection by him
is being pushed. 1t is thought that he
is in Chicago inspecting the site upon
which his regiment is to be encamped.
The regiment will be composed entirely
of companies from the west. three of
which will be from Ohio 1t is almost
certain that Colonel Young will arrive
here this week. The two companies
from here will be sent to Chicago at
once after being mustered in.
It is probable that Colonel Young's
regiment will see some hard service as
they viii likely go with the army of
invasion or if the war should terminate
within the next month Colonel Youngs
regiment Will go with the army of oc-
Cupation which every one believes it
will be necessary to send to Cuba. 1t
Will be necessary to reconstruct nearly
all the railroads., telegraph lines,
bridges and Notifications in the island
of Cuba after the war, and in this work
Colonel Youngs regiment will take a
prominent part.
The regiment organized and COM
manded by Colonel Griffin of New York
has been assigned to the eastern coast
of this country, and it is doubtful if
they are sent with the army 1t seems
that under these circumstances the
boys from the west will have the best
of the matter and get onto Spanish soil
first

| Al Popkiss, the manager of the State
line Gold Mining company. arrived in
the city Tuesday night from this prom
Using and progressive gold camp, bring
ing with him retort of gold weighing
six pounds, the bullion being the pro-
duct of the two-stamp mill being oper-
ated by the company on Creole ore, and
Mr.. Popkiss informs The Herald that
the mill is running in a most satisfac-
tory manner, and that the Creole has
passed the prospect stage, and can now
be classed as a mine, as it has been
opened up on the vein for distance of
500 feet, besides which wines have
been sunk and upraises made on the
ledge, the various workings showing
up and blocking out fine bodies OF
good milling ore.
Mr.. Popkiss also says that he has
received returns from experimental
tests which have been made on crude
low grade ore from the Ophir mine and
Creole tailings, the tests being made
by the CODES at the Yuba mine at
Phoebe, the crude ore being run over
Witty tables, the product being IN the
shape of concentrates, while the tail
ingS were reduced by the cyanide pro-
cess by agitation, the results being so
satisfactory in both instances that it is
more than likely that Witty tables and
a cyanide plant will be added to the
equipment of the Stateline mill, in adj
dition to which two more batteries for
the stamp stamp mill will be put in.
which will give the works capacity
equal to 15-stamp gravity mill, while
the cyanide plant can take care of the
tailings at a high saving.
Mr.. L. d. Fisher of Chicago, one of
the directors of the Stateline company,
who has been in the camp for the past
week or ten days, will return TO Salt
Lake within a few days with the clean
up from a run that is now being made
for experimental purposes on ore from
THE GOLD BELT MINE,
and it is learned that he is highly
pleased with the camp and it's future
prospects.
Work is progressing in the operation
of the Ophir and it will not be long
now before this promising property will
be in the Salt Lake market again with
another shipment of high grade ore, OF
which good bodies have been disclosed
in the mine of late. Work has also
been begun by A. G. Bast in the devel-
opment of the Grand Central, on Gre
ole mountain, in which Sam Kenyon
of this city recently secured an inter-
est.
In the northern portion of the dis

ton of the Confidence mine. and it is
said that in the bottom of the 125-foot

WAR TAX ON BEER.
May Encourage Manufacture of An

Atlantic City. n. j.. June 15.-The 3Sth
annual convention of the United States
Brewers association opened in this city
today. President Berger presiding. There
are about 400 delegates present. President
G. w. Berger stated in his annual adj
dress that the consumption of beer during
the year 1897 was "a. 423, 092 barrels, a de-
crease compared with the previous year
of 100000 barrels. He called attention to
the fact that there is danger to the brew
ing interests of the country under the
war tax law which went into effect yes
terday for the reason that the high tax
offered an inducement to the manu-
facturer of cheap and inferior beer to
make the product at a price below that
at which the brewer of the high grade
ment of the delegates was in favor of

feels that it would have been expedient
Tor this government to cultivate the

of commerce with Japan, at the expense
