Will Disineorporate.

AT public meeting held in Chloride
last evening an amicable agreement
was arrived at by which the incorpora.
tion of the town will be dissolved and
the proceedings for patent to the town.
site, now pending in the land office
will be dropped. Money will be raised
by subscription to meet all demands
created against the treasury of the city
and when these have been paid the
board of supervisors will be petitioned
to appoint a trustee and wind up the
affairs of the town. Action was forced
on the subject by the enforcement of
license collections by the council this
week. Many of the business men paid
the license, but Frank Alabaster re-
fused and was arrested. He was fined
by the justice for doing business with
out license.

impeded last week by the striking of a
great body of water in the north drift

a depth of forty feet in the shaft,

order money was taken. The force of
the explosion wrecked the safe and tore
considerable money into shreds. Nick
els and dimes were scattered all over
the floor. Several registered letters
containing large sums of money were
overlooked. The edges of these pac k.

Story Of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the change of disease is the worst
forms of slavery. George d. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich. tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: any
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work"
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is godsend
to weak, sickly, run down people.

Riugmau, Arizoua, Thursday morning
aud left on the stage for Salt Lake that
evening. Mr.. Jennings went south
from the Grand Gulch mine to see if
the ores from the mine could not be
shipped more economically south. He
believes good road eau be made from
the mine down Pigeon wash TO Pearce's
Ferry aud thence south to blackberry.
Mr.. Jennings stated 10 our reporter
that he Intended putting the matter
before the directors, aud that he ia
vored the new road. 1T will" said he,
"be an expensive job, but we will have
to build road eventually aud We may
as we'll do il at once. We can save l5S
in railway freigbtage on every ton of
ore we ship south, and we have about
90 tons of 20 per cent ore on the
dump now which will not pay Us to
ship north, and this quantity of low
grade ore is constantly increasing"
Mr.. Jennings has made trip of $50
miles by buck board since leaving here,
aud lost himself twice on the road.
He reports frost every night at Wolf
hole "a miles south of here, and re-
marked on the wonderful change of
climate in coming that short distance.

the following;

dents own Pandora box, his New
Years gift 10 his country, for which
he alone is responsible. Neither Con-
gress nor the people had any voice
In the matter But one need not wonder
why he should now attempt to eyade
the responsibility. since he tells us
that every red drop, whether from the
veins OF an American soldier or a mis-
guided Filipino, Is anguish to his heart.
His conscience smltes him. No won

out: Thou canst not say did It,
Whether the acquisition of the Philip
pines was wise or foolish, they are
upon our hands, not by war, but by
the Presidents own act, and he had
better stand up like man and assume
the responsibility, asking his country
men to forgive his mistake il he now
sees he has made one"

ONE GREAT SYSTEM.

The purchase of the Pittsburg &
Western by the Baltimore 4 Ohio has
lifted burden from the minds of those
who have been planning that system
through from Baltimore and Washing
ton to Chicago. BY being in absolute
control of the p. & w. they have now
a solid line that is absolutely owned
over the territory mentioned, with the
possible exception of 76 miles west of
Akron, which is under long term
lease, and probably before that ex-
pires that section will become the per-
petual possession of the B. & o.
The anxiety which the p. & w. oc-
casioned the b. & o. officers is best ex-
pressed in the statement that when
1t was feared that Mr.. King was to
gain control of the road the b. d o. at
once planned to lay line somewhere
through that territory to gain in this
way the advantages that had been lost
with the r. & w. Now it is said that
a new form of government will be
planned out for the p. & w, but what
1t is does not yet appear. But several
forms have been suggested, and the
policy of the road has not been told.
