of being climbed over by him in getting out.
There is only one of him; there may be sew
eral of them. If he were as selfish as his
traducers he could ask, with reason: What
right have you, who object to the annoy
ance of climbing over me on getting into
the car, to expect me to move up and be
subjected to the annoyance of climbing over
you, and several others perhaps, should I
get out before your
the hog nor his detractors, but with the car
company. 1t is the duty of the latter to
provide cars with seats sufficiently far
apart to permit the ingress and egress of
passengers without discomfort to one an
other.
Until our companies do this I would adj
wise the public not to follow the amiable
suggestion of Mr.. Gilmer to accidentally
tread on the hogs" feet so as to make an
impression on him. 1t is quite possible that,
despite his ordinarily good nature, the hog"
might resent this, and make some "acct-
dental impression on the trier of 1t that
would discourage further experimentation
along that line.
In conclusion, as no one has yet exact
ly defined the "end-seat hog proceed to
do so in the interest of humanity: He Is

ourselves want.

KENTUCKY POPS ROAST BRYAN.
His Endorsement of GoebeI Denounc-
ed in Frankfort Convention

The populist state convention, which met
at frankfort, KY. yesterday, named a full
state ticket. John G. Blair of Nicholas
county was nominated for governor by ac-
clamation. The platform adopted indorses
Wharton Barker of Philadelphia for Presi-
Gent and 1gnatius Donnelly of Minnesota
for Vice President. 1t reafirms the former
populist national platform and declares in
favor OF government ownership of all pub
lie institutions as a means of stamping out
trusts. 1t condemns the Goebel state cleo

voters of the state, and says, further:

Mercur, Jan. 15.-The Sacramento

being made. That a large new mill will
be built next summer is a, foregone
conclusion, and everything in and about
the new plant viii be strictly UP TO
date. a rooster viii be included in the
addition, as there are large quantities
of black ore, containing sulphur, which
with baking can be made profitable,
and that class of ore usually carries
higher values than other varieties.
The incline being run in a northerly
direction on very rich body of ore is
progressing slowly, on account of the
difficulty Of hosting tie ore, which at
present is being done by hand For
some time the management has been
hesitating on the problem of power, but
it has at last been decided to use cleo
tricity, and as soon as the Jordan Mar
rows company is prepared to furnish
power a hoist VIII be put at the upper
end of the incline.
This rich body of ore approaches
within twenty feet of the surface near
the mill, and the groupings can be seen
on the hillside to the west. As the sur
face values We're low. no attention was
paid 10 this vein until the same body
was tapped in the workings to the
south. a unit mas been following the
vein northward, and viii be continued

vein continue, and samples running
above $500 have been found. while the
whole face of the incline runs above
$780,
Large quantities of ore are being
taken out, and everything in the mine
is being prepared for much larger
mill than is on the ground at present.
In the Wine at the south end of the

tom of the ore have been found.

they succeed in getting it through, no

SEWER VALLEY CANAL.
Work of Year Discussed at Annual
Meeting.
(Snecial CORRESPONDENCE. )

Especial correspondence
Richfield, Jan. 1.-THE Sewer Valley
Canal company held its annual meeting
a few days ago. The secretary's report
showed an expenditure on the canal Of
$642.45; on Three creek DAM at the head
of the canal, S53l.ll; other expenses, $3.50. Al,
making a total disbursement for 1898 of
$1.S59 The Otter Creek Reservoir com
pany had levied an assessment of s.. $50 on
the irrigation company. Amount subscrib-
ed to the reservoir company, S2VJJ.
The ocers elected for the ensuing two
years are as follows: President. w. H.
Clark; vice president, ]. c. Peterson; sec
rotary and treasurer, w. g. Baker; direc-
tors, L. p. Hansen. r. D. Young, F. D.
Christensen, b. II. Greenwood and P. E.
1t was decided at this meeting to make
the present terminus of the canal at the
south foot of the first cedar ridge, north
of Richfield.
It was also decided that a new esti-
mate be made of the amount of land to
be benefited by this canal and TO regu-
late the price of water right per acre ac-
The Sewer Valley Canal company is in
corporated with a capital stock of $50, 000.
1t is not a speculative enterprise, but
purely in the interests of those who have
who wish to take up land on the slopes
under the canal This slope land is very
fertile and needs only water to make it
highly productive. 1t will bring thousands
of acres under cultivation and provide
farming lands for several hundred fam
lilies.
The canal is taken out of the Sewer
river at a point two miles south of Jo-
seph City. and runs through Joseph City.
Elsinore and Richffeld, TO Willow creek
ridge, about three miles north of Rich
field. When completed to the terminus
decided upon, it will be twenty-five miles
in length. For the first fifteen miles the
canal is twelve feet wide at the bottom,
and for the remainder of the distance it
is nine feet wide. The canal company
owns about one-fifth of the stock of the
Otter creek reservoir, which will be of
great advantage when the reservoir is
completed. The canal will then be widen
ed and extend ultimately down the valley
probably as far as Redmond.

THE GOLD BLOSSOM.
Great Things Looked For In This
North Tintic Ground.
Eureka Republican,


The property recently incorporated,
and known as the White Star, adjoin-
ing the Gold Blossom and Selma claims
is being worked with two shifts, and
is improving as depth is being attained.
One of the claims has a ledge of free
milling ore running as high as $50 to
the ton and in another portion of the
ground is a ledge of ore with two well
defined walls and carrying on an aver
age of SIG in gold. tWenty-three ounces
silver, 4 per cent copper and per cent
lead. A shaft has been sunk to the
depth of sixty feet on the ledge and a
tunnel has been driven in 100 feet on the
vein. James NJ. o Brien, who had the
original lease and bond, refused an
offer of several thousand dollars for it
before the incorporation and mining
men generally agree that it is one of
the best properties in that portion of
the district. Preparations are being
made for putting up quarters for the
workmen, shops and a whim house.
Roads are to be graded and it is the
intention to ship the ore to the reduce
ton works. Ere spring arrives the
toot OF the whistle will be heard all
over north Tintic and a booming camp
viii no doubt spring up.
j. W. Clark visited the Joe Bowers
Extension Thursday and reports that
property looking finer than ever before.
There is ore on the hanging and foot
walls and is getting better as develop
ment work progresses. The hoist, boil
err, engine and timbers for the hoist are
on the ground and are being placed in
position by an agent of the Montana
Machinery company of Salt Lake City.
This valuable property gives evidence
of being one of the most valuable in
the district in the near future.
Extensive preparations are being
made to push development on the
Crown Point, located east of the Spy,
Contractor O'Brien having received in
structions to put a force of men at
work TO start sinking on the proposed
shaft Roads are now being graded
and q, number Of houses have been
erected. A store has been put up and
that locality is putting on the airs of
village.

vernal Gold Discoveries.

In its comments on the recent gold dis
coveries near Vernal. frequent mention of
which has already been made in The Her.
aid. the Express of that place says:
Excitement is running high this week
this vicinity.
l.. johnson was interviewed Tuesday in
regard to the property in which he and
others are interested and gave some very
startling figures. Laying aside the fact
that one specimen from the vein, or dyke
as it seems to be, aSSayed S23 900, Mr..
johnson asserts that four samples out
OF fourteen that were taken from the
vein average $o0.25 each. These four sam
pies represent three feet Of the vein mat
ter.
The vein from wall to wall is twenty
three feet standing straight on edge, and
from all appearances the walls are well
defined.
The north wall, which is lime quartz,
assays some SO in gold.
The only development work so far, and
that, however, is very meagre, is at the
junction of the Gold Standard and the
Manila locations.
Hundreds of men are hocking to the
locality, which is east of Vernal about
thirty-five miles.
People who are interested in the dis
covery had agreed not to cause any I'M
due excitement or make any flattering
reports, no matter how rich it seemed TO
be, until they became thoroughly con-
WINGED that they had something to justify
it. Unless there is some grave mistake,
there is a great future for eastern Utah
and western Colorado, as the find is To-
Gated near the line.
