seventy to one hundred acres of land.
Assuming that the lands on the Uin-

water for each tract of eighty-five
acres, the streams supply enough wa

reservation is marked

ious pool in the grill room, W hich
body of water is now called Lake Lu-

fisheresses. Not less than 500 trout
could be seen there Thursday. sporting
in the clear water. but as the fishing
commenced yesterday the number is
growing less. Manager Lucas baited
a line and drew out few as the Post
reporter looked on with admiration
Guests are allowed to fish for trout
and have them cooked to order for %
cents each catch. 1t goes without
saying that this is an Improvement

muddy banks and gnats. no long ted

variable good luck there is no need for

Unexpected Death

James Sheridan home is in mourn
ing this week. NJ RS. John Mansfield
of st. Louis, the mother Of Mrs. Sher
idan, died Wednesday morning at tw 0
o'clock, after brief illness of three
days. Her sudden demi sc was attrib-
uted to heart failure. A physician
had been called in the Sunday pre-.
vious, and the lady's apparent i'm
provement under treatment had re-
moved all serious concern about her
condition; however, at the final mo,
ment her daughter, Miss Anna. who
is also visiting the Sheridan home,
was awakened by the labored breathing
of the sufferer, and instantly rushed
to the bedside, arousing the rest of the
family. The end came before ply
sician could be summoned. On the
previous evening Mrs. Mansfield had
been cheerful and joked with members
of the family and household with her
customary good nature, completely
throwing everyone off their guard,
and she apparently had no premo-
milton of her approaching end.
Mrs. Mansfield died in the Catholic
faith, and was devoted member of
St Teresa church in st. Louis,
where the funeral ceremonies will be
performed. Miss Anna Mansfield and
Mr.. and Mrs. James Sheridan accom-
panied the remains to ST. Louis Wed
nesday evening. Deceased leaves two
sons and three daughters to mourn her
loss: Mrs. James Sheridan of this
place, Mrs M. J. Mooney, Miss Anna
Mansfield, and William Mansfield of
ST. Louis, and Richard Mansfield of
Portland, Oregon.
Mrs. Mansfield had been visiting
the Sheridaus since June tenth, and
made many friends here by her ami
able qualities of heart and mind
She was in her sixty second year.

No Copies of School Law on Hand

Mrs. Alice B. Clark, the county sup
erintendent of schools, is constantly
in receipt of letters from teachers and
school directors asking for copies of
the compilation of school laws The
teachers especially wish to post up on
the laws and regulations governing
examinations, which occur in the
third week of August. Mrs. Clark is
unable to comply with the requests
for the reason that the cid editions are
completely exhausted, and it will lie
at least month before the new di-
gests, now in preparation, by the state
superintendent, will be ready for dis.
tribution. Mrs. Clark was in Denver
recently and called on the state super
intendent, Miss Katherine l.. Craig,
discussing the subject among others.
Miss Craig is compiling the school law
in better shape than has heretofore
been attempted. Decisions on the law
will accompany each enactment, and
the matter will be topically arranged
and indexed in such manner AS to
facilitate reference and save time.

Prominent Filming Nan a Visitor

Samuel M Newhouse, the multi.
millionaire, arrived at Glenwood
Wednesday, in company with G. w.
Whitley, vice president of the Ameri
can Smelling and Refining company,
and r. E. Wells, general manager of
the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt
Lake City railroad, all of Salt Lake.
These gentlemen with others came in
Mr.. Whitneys private car the "San
Pedro, and left the same evening,
Mr. Newhouse gave lucnheon for
fourteen guests, including the Whitley
family, and the same party We're the
guests of Mr.. Whitley for dinner at
the Colorado.
A biography of Mr. Newhouse, if
written, would embrace very import
ant chapters IN the history of mining
in Colorado and Utah, as for years he
has opened up new properties and pro-
noted companies. One of his most
important recent enterprises is the
Cactus Mine in Southern Utah about
200 miles suoth of Salt Lake City in
the heart of the desert. This mine
produces in paying quantities mixed
ores of silver, gold, zinc and some
copper The company is also smelt-
ing its ores on the ground. Watre is
piped from Wah Wah Springs about
sixteen miles distance. the water
works alone having been installed at
"A cost of $50, 600, and the company also
built a tap railroad to connect their
property with the Clark road at Mil
ford about fourteen miles distant.
Around the works has arisen the
model town of Newhouse, where Mr..
Newhouse' $ care for the comfort of his
workmen earned him the title of phil
anthropist. The town is modelled in
a better sense than that of Pullman,
Illinois, as Mr.. Newhouse has made
il possible for workmen to acquire
their own homes, wisely believing
that the soundest dictates of policy,
as we'll as philanthropy, suggested
that the men should be given an inter
est in the success of his enterprise in
town building. Every cottage at
Newhouse is different in deisgn from
its neighbor :; there ia no monotony of

Water Problem Upon Reserve

Salt Lake, July ia peculiar
situation has arisen in connection
with the water rights ON the Uintali
Indian reservation, soon to be thlown
open 20 settlement under the lottery
plan.
There is no land on the reservation
suitable for cultivation except under
irrigation. While no person can file
claim to the land prior to the draw
ing, and while 'sooners' are strictly
barred from the reservation, it seems
to be uncertain whether the law EN-.
braces the water rights.
In behalf of the Indians, who will
retain the most valuable agricultural
lands on the reservation, Capt. c. G
Hail, U. S. A., has made 30 filings on
water rights, which are said to cover
practically all the water supply of
the reservation.
Three private corporations have
been formed and nave also filed on the
reservation water rights with the Utah
state engineer.
Owing to the uncertainty of the law
none of these claims for water have
been approved ol disapproved. The
interior department, it is stated, has
the matter under consideration and
may protest against the granting of
the claims filed by the private com
panies.

6OIdfield No Place for a Christian

John Weiskopf, editor of the Routt
County Sentinel published at Steam
boat Springs passed through Glenwood
Thursday morning on his way home
from Goldfeld. Nevada, where he has
spent the summer. Mr.. Weiskopf
predicts that Gcld6eld and Tonapah
will both make good mining camps
but says it will take time and great
deal of capital to develop them.
John endured his full share of vissi
tudes incident to new camp, and as
though it were not enough to moisten
his 'innards' with alkali water
hauled several miles, eat embalmed
beef. and hold out against the almost
intolerable heat characteristic of that
section, he was chased by wild steer
which would not allow him to return
home for several days and his compan-
ions thought he had perished. AS he
did not have his shooting stick"
with him, John says there was nothing
left for him but to run when the crit
ter took after him.
Although Goldfield is but year old
it has grave yard which would do
credit to big city several years of
age and it was quite evident from Mr..
Weiskopf's conversation that he was
mighty glad to get back to God s
country and that he will not again
undertake to stem the hardships of the
new camp for some time to come.

brought in crazy and this only includ

perished or became delirious and
wandered off to finally die from the
terrible exposure
While Mr.. Wisekopf secured some
mining interests which he believes
will be valuable some time, "a glance
at his features and at the slack in his
belt indicates that the worry incident
to the requirement thereof is far
greater strain on the constitution than
