YES, 1T SAVED MONEY

In view Of the fact that the taxpay-
ers Of Humboldt county. irrespective
OF party affiliations, are taking a deep
interest in the matter of county print
Ing. and the saving that will be af-
fected by doing away with the old
party spells system and having the
work cone by the lowest bidder. the
following. illustrating the saving that
was made in one small item Of the
printing alone will be read with in
terest. The item referred to is the
list of bills and claims against the
county that were passed upon by the
county commissioners at their June
session. In the past these lists have
teen handed over to one of the county
papers. printed and then paid for at
the rext meeting of the board at the
rte of 81 per inch, and only printed
one time.
When the board convened at It's
last session the Silver State submitted
a proposition to print this month
list of bills allowed, rejected, cut down
or laid over, in two issues of the pa
Der for the sum of 80 cents an inch,
or souare-just two-ffths of the for
mer price. The board made an order
that the work should be given to this
paper at the rate mentioned unless
the Standard saw fit TO accept and
print it for the amount for which the
Silver State offered to do it. AS Will
be seen by a reference to the paper
Yesterday and today, the list was pub
lished in the columns of this paper
and in accordance with the PROPOSE
ton made to the board. the publica-
tion Of the notice the second time,
that is, in today's paper, is merely
for the further information of tax
payers, and is made without expense
to the county. Now, as to the amount
saved:
In measuring the list after it is
printed, the law contemplates a basis
of nonpariel. But. on account of the
linotype machine not carrying mat
rices for this size type, it has not
been set in nonpariel heretofore. but
in BREWER instead. Nonpariel type is
Just three-fourths the size of brewer,
hence. in measuring. if the list made,
for example, twenty inches BREWER.
only three-fourths of that amount, or
fifteen inches. should be charged for.
In the past this has not been done. II
the list made twenty inches in BREWER,
it was measured twenty inches, and
the county paid for twenty inches, at
the rate of 81 an inch. Well, no won
der the county printing has cost Hum
boldt county taxpayers about $4,000 a
year for the last twenty years. Yet,
IL must be said that the papers did
nothing but what the law allowed,
in charging 50 a square for the work
done. when the work complied with
the law.
In the case of the list published
yesterday and again on page 3 OF to-
days Silver State. at the old rate the
cost TO the county would have been
s62. 90, since it made. inclusive OF the
necessary headings. 81 inches; this
reduced to nonpariel measurement
equals 2SA inches. At the old rate
the maximum allowed by law. this
would come to $3.50; at the rate the
Silver State bid on the n item.
and at which 1t will be paid, the cost
to Humboldt county will be just
$3.50, a saving OF $3.50 on this one

TAYLOR ESTATE
SELLS IRON LANDS
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company is
The Purchaser and Pays
Cash for Property.
THE DEAL WAS CLOSED TODAY.
John c. Cutler .Ir Represented the
NendOrs-M Means Much for Future
In Iron County,

For several days there have leen ru-
mors current Of the probable purchase
Of the valuable iron properties owned
by the Bishop Taylor Estate in Iron
county Utah by the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company under the reorganization,
But there have been so many options
taken and lost on these properties In
the last 20 years, that but little cred
ence was placed. on such reports and
they were rather regarded as merely
another chapter in the series of an un-
crtain story But this noon II was
learned from trustworthy source that
there had been a deal earlier In the
day that finally effected a transfer Of
the properties, and John c. Cutler, Jr.
representative here Of the Thomas
Taylor estate, was approached for in

report was correct. He had sold this
morning, the seven noted iron claims
belonging TO the Thomas Taylor estate,
known as the Duncan No, l. The Des-
eret Mound, The Blowout, The Chcsa-
peake, The Excelsior The Pot Metal,
and The Black Magnetic.
Mr.. Cutler further stated that the
sale was made to the c. F, & l., through

stated ON good authority that the ig-

stands that the Rio Grande win now
build without delay from Marysvale
straight through to Cedar CITY, and tap
the newly acquired properties. As far
as r. known now, the policy OF the iuel
company Is to ship all OF the ores to
Pueblo for reduction instead Of treat

possible that before long the company
may erect blast furnaces for production
Of pig iron destined for the Pacific

GENERAL WILLIAM H. PENROSE,
Popular Retired Army Who Dying From Typhoid

Now that analyses Of the city water
used shows that 1t contains no typhoid
fever germs, II is believed that a num-
Der Of cases have been caused by the
use Of the water from flowing wells.
The waters of number Of these wells
have been tested and found unfit for
use. The well which supplies the resi-
dents of Goss court In the southwest
ern part Of the city has been condemned
by the health authorities, and others
win In all probability be condemned as
soon as the city chemist completes the
analysis OF the waters. The statistics
show that typhoid is more prevalent
In the districts where the water from
these wells is used than In any other
parts OF the city In the
Fourth precinct where city creek
water is used exclusively there are only
two cases of typhoid while In the First
and Second whore a number OF flowing
wells are used TO supply water there are
a large number Of cases.
The lack Of proper sewage is also
undoubtedly responsible for a number
Of cases IL Is the opinion that In order
TO rid the city Of the disease. the flow
ing wells should all be abandoned and
city water used exclusively. and poper-
ty owners should be compelled to con-
met with the sewers so that cess.pools
and other disease breeding places could
be done away with.
There were six cases Of typhoid re-
ported 20 the board Of health yesterday

fever which seized him during the pre-
valllng epidemic OF that disease in this
city His physician says he cannot re-
cover and his sons, Captain Charles w.
Pcnrose of Michigan, and Dr. George H.
Penrose OF seatt,e, Wash, have been
summoned by telegraph to hasten to his
side with all possible haste.
General Penrose has not only been
n brave and capable officer but he has
been a prominent, respected and popular
citizen as we'll During ali the years he
was stationed at Fort Douglas he was
known az a courteous and trustworthy
official and gentleman. Since his retire
ment, seven years ago, he has lived the
life Of business man, giving the great
or part OF his time and attention TO min
Ing matters. In fact he has always been
more or less interested In mining, and
his contact with the rugged experiences
Of life in western mining camps and the
enthusiasm and independence in life
that come from digging the natural
riches from the earth only served to In
tensify that interest. AS a soldier he
was stern and uncompromislng in the
strict performance Of his duties, and ne
had no patience with a soldier who
would shirk his responsibilities.
General Penrose began his military
career April lS, 1861, right after the call
for olunteers by President Lincoln
when he was commissioned from Mchl-
gan second lieutenant In the Third
regular infantry at the age OF Is or 30
He was appointed first lieutenant in the
following May, and commissioned a
captain In the same regiment In Sep
teber. 1868 In the meantime however
Captain Penrose was given leave Of alb
sence from the regular service to be-
come colonel Of the Fifteenth New Jer-
sey volunteers In 1868, and In the fall OF
the following year was made a brevet-
br'gadier general for distinguished
merit. and in June 1865, was
mad a full brigadler general.
Gen. Penrose was mustered out of
the volunteer service In January, 1866.
and resumed his active connection in
the regular service In May 1883 he
was promoted to be major In the
Twelfth infantry and In 1855 was
made lieutenant colonel Of the Six

moreover he was anxious 10 return TO

tirement of Col Blunt, and he re-
mained in command until March, 1895,
