ON UINTAH RESERVATION.
What the National Mining Company
Proposes to Do.

Vernal Express: The National Min
ing company of Wisconsin has just Sc
cured from the Ute Indians a lease
which gives it exclusive right to mine
and market all the hydrocarbons con-
tanned within an area lying south of
Strawberry river, in the Uintah Indian
reservation, and to put the franchise
into commercial shape will at once be-
gin the expenditure of about 100000.
The proposition to allow them a roy
atty of 20 per cent on every dollars
worth CT material that should be mined
from the ground. was agreed to without
a dissenting voice on the 9th day of
August.
Judge Mcconnell and others have
looked forward for some time to this
day, and congratulate the people of
Utah that one Of their industries, so
long tied up, has been liberated. and
that behind it were men capable of sup
plying almost any amount OF money
with which to develop it.
That the acquisition is a valuable
one all who are in touch with the
ground and its contents have admitted.
The asphaltum, which exists there in
abundance, is already in big demand,
while a process is claimed that viii
soon put the elaterite into commercial
form.
The first thing to be undertaken will
be the construction of a wagon road,
this to be ultimately replaced by rails,
and direct connection made with the
Rio Grande Western at Cotton. From
the deposits of asphaltum at which
the operators of the company will be-
gin, to the nearest point on the rail-
way, the distance is about 40 miles, and
to put this in shape a force of graders
will be required in a short time. In
fact, the judge says the company will
soon have employment for a large num-
Der of persons, and hopes in a short
time to develop it into one of the
busiest communities in the west

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.
Kaysville Invalids Devotedly At
tended to By Their Parents.

Kaysville, Aug. 21.-Yesterday after
noon the angel of death, whose vista
tions usually bring trials and leave des-
olation, came as a ministering angel OF
mercy to the afflicted home OF William
Barnes of this place, and took from IT
a son. whose existence for nearly ~
years has been a burden to himself
and to his attendants. The deceased
young man was about % years or age.
He was born with all of the facultles
normally developed, but at a very early
age his eyesight failed and a malady
seized him which, as 1T developed,
robbed him of one sense after another
until, during recent years, he has been
a helpless, hopeless, incurable imbeclle,
not having power to recognize those
around him, and utterly unable to move
to assist himself in any manner. His
parents have devotedly attended him
during all these years. They have ex-
hausted the means at their command
in procuring medicines and employing
physicians, but to no avail
Three other members of the family
have been afflicted in like manner. One
of them died some time ago, and the
other two, a boy Is years of age, and
a girl several years younger, are now
suffering in the midst of a living death,
with no hope of recovery. The two last
named are blind and almost helpless,
and, by slow stages, the awful malay
is carrying them to the same condition
in which their elder brother has just
died.
Skillful physicians who have attend
ed the patients have declared that the
cases are without parallel in medical
history, and they are free to say that
the singular affection battles all medical
skill. Nothing that has been done for
any of the unfortunate afflicted ones
has given more than temporary relief,
and there seems to be nothing TO DO
but to await the day when physical
strength shall be exhausted and death
shall come. Several members Of the
same family have grown to manhood
and womanhood with no evidences OF
the malady about them.
The unfortunate young mans funeral
will be held on Tuesday next. The en-
tire community has a feeling of pro-
found sorrow for the afflicted family.

THE GoLD-CoPPER BELT.
Importance CT It Recognized By Park
City Miners.

Park City, Aug. 21.-The miners of
Park City and vicinity are beginning to
realize the Importance of the gold
copper belt which is situated south of
the Ontario, Daily and Silver King
mines. and which extends from the
Provo river on the east to the head of
Snake creek on the west. Good copper
ore is found in the Relief located on
the divide between Cottonwood and
Snake creek. which can be traced down
through the Steamboat group, where a
tunnel is being driven to catch the ore
bodies at a great depth. This tunnel is
now in 165 feet, and the management
contemplate putting in a compressor
and power drill, utilizing the water
power of Snake creek. On the Wasatch
and Vanderbilt the same character Of
ore is found. and a strike of six feet Of
peacock copper was made last week on
the ground owned by +. r. Davis and
associates on the Bertha
The next ground where the ore crops
out IS owned by Judge Hatch and as
sociates Of Heber. The Blue Bird,
owned by w. J. Wilson, is crossed by
the same formation and vein.
In the Superior the vein resembles
the Valeo very much, and is five feet
thick, and exposed in several places on
the strike.
The Clarissa group, owned by Will
liam Whithill, has the same white lime
and yellow quartzite backed up by por-
phyry that is Identical with the Valeo
and Superior formation, and vein of
ochre is well defined in the shaft and
cut.
The Valeo is located at the most east
erly extension of this mineral belt, and
every foot sunk in this mine proves the
permanency of the ore body. Thetnan-
agement are building a new boarding
house in Cottonwood canyon, just be-
low the one occupied at present, which
will accommodate 40 men. A new
power house will be erected at the
mouth of the lower tunnel. A COM
pressor and power drills have been or
dered. and an engine will be placed for
sinking as soon as possible.
