ANDREWS, July 4.-(Correspond-

the breaking up of the long con-
tinued drought, but there is not
much prospect of its fulfillment this
morning. Crops are suffering, and
gardens are almost dried up, and
even the wheat crop fell far short of
what was expected. Wheat threshing
is about over, for which this has been
a perfect season; blackberries have
dried up on the vines, and our only
hope for fruit is light crop Of APP
plies, and an abundant crop of grapes.
No doubt these things will be for our
good in teaching us much needed
lesson of economy, and making US
more thankful for blessings.

Copper Locations.

Several claims have recently been
located for copper in the vicinity of
the old Blind Mountain district west
OF Stampede Gap. Most of them
are old veins, prospected heretofore
for silver, but possessing a new iu-
terest now in view of the general
demand for copper bearing veins,
VIM. Lloyd, John Cook and others
have a forty foot shaft down on a
nice looking five foot ledge which
averages up fairly we'll and Mark
Church had samples from four foot
vein in the same vicinity recently,
which assay high enough to justify
development work. These claims
are situated on the west side of the
Bristol range. The whole range on
both sides is we'll mineralized and
some big mines will yet be discov-
cred there. Nearly all the veins
show copper in some form or other.

HAVING HARD LUCK.
Utah & Pacific Due to be Built Long
Ago Not Yet Completed.

The Utah 4 Pacific is in rather
hard luck. The line is not yet COM
pleted, and work is stopped for the
third time for lack of ties. With
the grade practically completed
when the work of tracklaying began
last fall, it should not have taken
more than three months at the out
side to build to Uvada, but owing to
continued delays in receiving mate
rial and lack of experience on the
part of the men the job has dragged
on the greater part of year.
In the meantime the Sanpete VAL
ley has graded and built six and a
half miles of difficult work, the Rio
Grand Western has put up fifteen
miles of new road in Provo canyon,
and by September will have two
roads graded and built, and the St.
Anthony line will be graded and
built forty miles in three months.
