IRRIGATION SUIT At HEBER
HAS CONSUMED ONE WEEK AND
MAY TAKE ANOTHER.
Question as to the Right of the On
tario to Sell Water From ITS Tun-
nel-Attorneys Taking a Rest.

Heber, Aug. 14.-The big water suit
continues to be heard before Judge
Dusenbery. One full week has been
consumed in listening to evidence, and
will probably require nearly another
week to complete the evidence. Among
other questions arising in the case was
one that arose yesterday, as to the use
of the Ontario drain tunnel water. In
1894 large volume of water was struck
in the tunnel and has since continued
to flow into the Provo river. In 1894
the Ontario Silver Mining company
sold to the Midway Irrigation company
portion of the waters of said tunnel
The water, after emptying into the riv-
er, mingled with and became a part
of the river waters and has been used
for irrigation purposes by the people
generally. The question arose with the
attorneys as to whether the Ontario
Mining company could sell any of the
water of the tunnel after it left their
property. After some discussion it was
agreed by all the parties in the action
that the Midway Irrigation company
should have 512 cubic feet of the tun-
mel water per second.
1t is understood that, the Ontario
company will, in the future, use the
balance of the tunnel water for power
and other purposes changing its course
from its present channel. By virtue
of the agreement yesterday the case
will terminate at least three days soon
er than was expected.
Senator R. c. Chambers and Messrs
Murdoch and Keatly of the Ontario
company were in Heber yesterday aft
ernoon to appear as Witnesses in the
case now being tried, but they were
not called on the witness stand The
court adjourned a little earlier yester-
day afternoon and many of the attor-
neys and witnesses have gone home to
spend Sunday with their families.

REV. J. D, NUTT|NG RESIGNS
AS PASTOR OF THE PLYMOUTH
CONGREGATIoNA CHURCH.
Owing to Financial Reasons Connect
ed With the Home Missionary
society-Will Leave For the East
About Sept. 9Th.

Rev John D. Nothing, for several
years pastor of the Plymouth Congre-
gational church, has resigned.
The Church Messenger, commenting
upon the matter. says:
A very painfui announcement was
made by the pastor a week ago last
Sabbath morning. 1t was that owing
to financial reasons connected with the
Home Missionary society, his connec-
ton with the work at Plymouth must
cease very shortly, so far as could be
seen. Provided suitable arrangements
for the sale or rent of his home can be
made, the family now expect to leave
for the east about the 9th of Septem-
Der. The formal resignation has not
been given yet, but a business meeting
to consider it may be expected very
soon. The Plymouth work has a very
deep hold on the pastors interest, after
nearly six years of hard labor here, and
it is not easy to sever the ties result
ing. But harder still is the fact that
there can be no one in his place, for
the same reason. Services will be con-
tinued in some way once each Sabbath,
however, it is expected.
During his residence in Salt Lake
Rev. Nutting has been a most tireless
worker and has made a host of friends.

They went as far north as Bonanza and

the World that a good strike was made
this summer on Jordan creek, near Be-
nanza. The ledge is large and carries a
good grade of gold ore.
Some important discoveries were made
in Stanley basin last year and are being
worked this summer on a small scale,
The ore of the ledge is hard, white por-

holes have been sunk and the deepest is
not over 20 feet Sixteen feet OF ore has

Over $4,000 Worth of Gold From
the Caribou

Western Mining World: Last week the
Ashcroft stage brought S7S,70O worth of
gold from the Cariboo hydraulic mines,
to Nelson, of which 800 was from the
Cariboo Hydraulic mine, the result of the
first run this season at that mine. The re-
suit vas better by some thousands than
was expected. The next wash-up, if the
water holds out. will be very large. But
for the great results, the owners must
wait until next year, when the Moorehead
ditch will be completed and tho immense
reservoirs filed at Moorhead lake. with
two sets of giants working a mile apart
on different parts of the great mine. OF
the balance of the gold brought down.
one lot was $500, one $1,000 and one 81, 800.
These lots were from Horsefiy and Bar
kerville, the results of the mill run on ce-
ment. At Horsefiy all is said to be very
satisfactory and that the cemented gravel
has yielded on an average more than
twice as high as last year. This is only
rumor. but it is now believed that the
property is on a paying basis. and that
work will be continued from now on. Mr..
Ward brought down also 5000 in dust,
the result of three days run in one part
of the mine, where they had to wash up
on account of moving boxes.

SHOOTING AND THROWING.
Santaquin Boys Charged With lIali-
ciouS Mischief.

Provo, Aug. 14.-Deputy Sheriff Henry
went to Santaquin Saturday to inves-
tigate a complaint made by Mrs. Olaf
Peterson of that place against two
young men, whom she charged with
malicious mischief. What the outcome
will be is uncertain. as there is some
doubt in regard to the identity of the
guilty parties. Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson
claim that they recognized two of the
boys. The miscreants started away
on brisk trot, when the town marshal
fired at them, and Mr.. Peterson. who
had been awakened from his sleep by
the rock throwing, supposed the boys
were firing on the building, so he dis
charged a gun through the window
The bullet struck the ground near the
marshal, and for the time diverted his
attention from the runaways. They
both claim they can establish an alibi
if they are brought to trial

RICH CLAIMS DISCOVERED
On the Main Road Between Monroe
and MarYsVale.

Richfield, Aug 19.-There is some excite
ment in this section of the country among
prospectors and mining men over the re
cent strike and discovery of some new
mining property. The claims are located
on the main Travelled road between Monroe
and Marysvale, on what is known as the
MarySVale summit. The locators are DR.
G. 3. Loring of Monroe, and F. NJ. Hay
den and Frank ]. McCaslin of King City,
Mo-
The vein outcrops for distance of over
500 yards. and the wagon road crosses il
three times while climbing the mountain
The ledge has been unmoleSted for so long
owing to the fact that it was not thought
that that section of the country was
mineralized, and therefore no prospecting
was ever done there before. DR.. Loring
of Monroe has known of the ledge for the
past four years, but never had any work
done on the property OF had any assays
made from it.
The property was located the Goth of last
month and fair sample of the nine-foot
ledge was sent to Salt Lake City to be
tested. On the 2Sth of last month the To-
Gators of the property received an assay
from Korty * Co., which shows S9.6S IN
gold and a few ounces of silver.
Three men will be put to work at once
on the property, and as it is so conven-
iently located, being only three miles from
the terminus Of the Rio Grande Western,
ii could be worked all winter. if the values
are found TO be permanent and the guam
uty of the ore proved to be enough to
justify extensive development.
