Marysvale, Utah, Nov 16.-We, the
people down here. are wearing our new
dignity as the terminus of the Rio
Grande Western railway with becom-
ing humility, the result-partiaIly, at
least-of herecfty and a wonderfully
soothing environment But new blood
has come in with the railroad and new
life and energy are scraping the scales
on the eyes and the moss from the
backs Of 'us Old-timers,' - who are half
'coWpunchers' and half miners, rath-
er 'IocatOrs.' While we old timers
are drinking bad booze, fondling poker
chips and dreaming of the vast wealth
locked in the rOck-ribbed vaults of the
great Badly range, those newcomers
are building dwellings and business
houses so fast that we hardly Tecog-
nize our old haunts in this now bus
Ting little hamlet.
The Rio Grande Western Railway
company has selected a fine level piece
OF ground for station purposes on the
west side of the Sewer river. and is
spreading a thick layer of gravel over
the sod One of the finest sand most
commOdiOus depot buildings south of
Salt Lake City is nearing completion,
and everything about the company's
premises proves its faith in this To-
cality and a determination to take a
long breath before reaching out for
Arizona or Los Angeles.
In the mining enterprises now going
OF the energy of the newcomers is
stril1ingly conspicuous, and if us old
timers hope to retain another two
years grip, without doing any work
on our grass-covered prospect holes
and noss-cOvered monuments and cor
ner stakes, we viii have to get a pain
full hustle on our rheumatic limbs very
early in the morning of jan l. 1901
And it viii be q real God-send to the
mining interests of this region if we
Oversleep ourselves, forget where and
how many claims we've held for two
decades without even freshening the
old dumps, or, better still, if each of
us gets an attack of acute rheumatism
on Dec. 81.
More and better work is now being
done in the way of mining than has
ever been accomplished in the history
of this camp. The results of this new
departure are most gratifying. A lit
tie water doesn't seem to terrify these
newcomers; they are actually sinking
shafts and making it quite dangerous
for US Old-timers and our cattle TO
roam over the hills.
At the Dalton mine the good work
of sinking an almost untouched 'cross
VEIN begun four years ago. has been
resumed by g. F. Dalton, representing
the owners of the bond and lease.
Handicapped by q promise not to blow
II into The Herald or any other news
paper your correspondent can only
say that the shaft is down 1T5 feet
in a magnificent vein: that a level is
+ being driven from the 100 out into the
vein, and that every pound of the prod
Uct from the level is being carefully
hUsbanded by sacking and Dinning. A
road from Bullion canyon to the Dali
ton is being graded as a preliminary to
the installing of a gasoline hoist on
