F. W. Hunter was down from Bea.
e creek yesterday. He says that
threshing is about over on that creek
and that the yield of grain was rather
light this year. James and William
Parr, who OWL and run the thresher
have been doing remarkably good and
rapid work this fall and if they meet
with no drawback will wind up the
threshing business by next Tuesday
They threshed 1884 bushels of grain
for F. W. Hunter the first of the
week and did not consume an entire
day in work. Hunter received S1.4C
per 100 for his grain at the thresher
and all the grain of that country has
been contracted at prices ranging from
S1.75 to $500 per 100 pounds.

Fall Weather.

The weather of the past week has
been of such a character as to forcibly
remind us that winter is approaching
in a sure and determined manner
The surrounding mountains are COW
cred with snow and rain and snow
have both fallen here in the valley.
The trees have taken on a deep orange
hue, beautiful to look upon, but also
strongly indicative of the fact that
the leaves are soon to drop and leave
only dull cold branches to wave in
the wind until spring returns. Ma
ture seems to be endeavouring to APP
pear her lovliest as she prepares to lie
down for her winter sleep. Each sea-
son of the year has something to COM
mend and endear it to the inhabitants
of the earth, but Autumn holds a very
prominent place in the hearts of the
sons of men.

His honor, Judge Blood, has had
his hands full this week. 1t is a cold
day when he does not hear two or
three civil suits, entertain one or more

On monday, besides the S against
Ford, he heard a civil suit between j.
E King and Louis Peregine, tie camp
men. Decision reserved. Writ of
attachments were also sworn out by
Cosgrif Bros. Co. against s. j. Green

full; the case against Harris is pend
ing still, A writ was sworn out by l.
G. Miller, president of the Ferris Hag-
gerty Company, against one Jerry
Condine, charging him with the lar
ceny of some vegetables at the Trans
fer.
On Tuesday William Norrell made
complaint against one Charles Brown
and Arthur Marsh, charging them
with the larceny of a saddle and a

GIGANTIC
Waters Of the North Platte River to be
Used to Supply this Region With
Electric Light and Power.

Very recently a party of men went
up from this place on what was, at
the time, given out to be a mining
venture" Since then The Sun is
reliably informed that the real pur-
pose of the party was to look up the
course of the Platte river in the region
of Benefits peak and to determine the
feasibility of the construction of a gi-
gantic electric power plant near here,
that would furnish power and electric
light for the entire valley and the min
ing works in both ranges of mount
aims.
The parties engaged in looking this
matter up were said to be the men who
constructed the great electric power
works neal Ogden. That immense
power plant furnishes both Ogden and
Salt Lake City with light and power
and has power enough left for sur
rounding towns within reach.
The scheme contemplated for this
country means the construction of a
dam across the Platte river at some
point in the canon above BENEFITS
peak and the construction of a pipe
line to the works, which will be To-
Gated at some point below, where suf-
ficient fall can be had to insure the

. When the public school opened
here Monday morning Miss Hoyt APP
peared as teacher for the intermediate
grade and took charge of the school
that day. At noon Monday Miss
Edna Bennett arrived here on the
stage and put in her claim for the
same position. A. j. Doggett was for
Miss Hoyt, but Jack Johnston was for
Miss Bennett. Gus Jensen, the other
member of the Board, was in Rawlins
and a consultation over the phone re-
suited in his casting his vote for Miss
Bennett, SO that young lady took
charge of the school Tuesday morn
ing.
We understand that Miss Hoyt
claims she was hired by two OF
the trustees in the presence of witness
es and says she is going to test her
claim in court. The affair is one very
r1uch to be regretted and shows very
plainly that some one on the board
has been grossly direlict in duty.
There is no reason why this matter
should not have been settled by the
board in such a manner that there
could have been no misunderstood

his wife al Gsceola, was in the city Sat.
urday. He and his wife had been
married but three weeks when she
died. Mr.. Bechtold says his wife
foretold her own death not a week be-
fore it took place. They were sitting
together one evening when she said:

but l hate to do it. l feel that I am
not going to live very much longer

Mr.. Bechtold said he tried to talk

H. 3. Keeler Dead.

HI. b. Keller, for many years a ia
miliar figure to our people, is dead.
His death took place in San Diego,
California on the DIST instant, to which
place he went ON the It'll for his health.
He was a strong, healthy man until
he returned from service as u member
of Capt. l.. q. Davis Troop H., Tor
rey's Rough Riders, when heart dis
ease developed as a result of malarial
poisoning contracted during his ser
vice at Jacksonville, Fla. After his
return home he was unable to do any
work and was compelled to live on
the charity of his comrades-a chart
ty that was as bountiful as it was
generous. When he received the last
installment of back pay as a member
of the troop he went to California to
see if his health would not be benefit
ted. A letter received from him by
John H. Albro, Second Lieut.. of his
troop, dated Sept. 18th, stated that he
was improving. The next news was
of his death.
Deceased was al excellent carpen-
ter and a quiet law-abiding citizen.
Among his comrades he was esteemed
"a most exemplary soldier and com
panion, and his death will be regretted
by every one who knew him.

Case Property Looking Well.

W.. r Wilcox was in town Saturday.
He and j.. B. Crane have taken hold
of the Case copper claim which lies
neartheir W property on Elk noun
tain. Mr.. Wilcox says they sank l6
feet on it, doing their work higher up
the hill than the assessment work, and
getting very encouraging results. The
claim presents a perpendicular wall of
granite OF ONE side and a mineralized
clay on the other. The clay is shot
full of mineral and the bottom of the
shaft was nearly all mineralized when
work stopped. Mr.. Wilcox is of the
opinion that they will shortly uncove
a fine body OF copper glance in that
claim.

The Copper Bar.

w. j. Crane, of the Inter Ocean
mining company was in from their
prospects on the head of Spring creek
this week. He says they are pushing
development work on the Copper Bar
which is showing up some good look
ing copper rock. They have a shaft
40 feet in depth and have crosscut to
the vein, a distance of 35 feet, and are
about 3 feet into the vein. The ore
is of a good quality but they do not
expect to strike the ore body until they
have gone to a considerable depth.
They will probably work this property
all winter.

Offered 100000 Option.

The Sun has reliable information
that DR.. Burger, accompanied by a
Chicago mining expert, visited the
Ferris-H aggerty camp last Saturday
and offered MI. Miller 100000 for a
thirty day option on that property.
Mr.. Miller declined the proffered bon
us, saying that he had no authority
to give an option on the mine. It is
known that this offer comes from Bos-
ton capitalists who are willing to put
up the money at any moment if they
can have the option and stand ready
to pay the balance of the 100000
at the end of the 30 days.

Comstock Mine.

William Norrell returned Monday
from the Battle Lake country, where
he has been helping his partners in
the Comstock mine get ready for the

they have three veins of ore which they
will tap with a tunnel 200 feet in length,

when they strike the first one and Acc
feet when the last one is reached.
The vein they have uncovered is
five feet in width, with a wall of lime
rock on one side and diorite on the
other and the vein matter lime spar
and diorite. Roasted the ore gives
out native copper in good quantities.

says they are o getting matters in
shape for the winter-laying in sup
plies and doing all necessary work
before the snow begins to fall. Mr..
Miller says that they are going to get
a complete hoisting plant for the Ac-
me this fall. They will not need it
until the first of the year, but will aim
to get it up to the edge of the timber
soon, now, so it car be taken in to the
mine on the first snow. Mr.. Miller
says the progress the works are max
ing is very satisfactory and that they
will be a bullion producing camp be-
