rrNrAH SETTLERS rNDIGNANr

A dispatch from Salt Lake City
says that one of the most important
developments on the Uintah reser-
yation reservation since the opening
was the Indignation meeting held by
the settlers. At this meeting, held
some days ago. resolutions were
adopted denouncing the outsider who
were filing on the water in sight and
much more. They take the position
that this water should be reserved
Tor actual settlers, and that these
settlers should not be forced to pur-
chase water at high figures from
these individuals and interpretations
who are now trying to mouopoliZe
H. Trouble is anticipated along this
line. Those who are filing on the
water cannot hold their rights in the
stream unless they get the settlers
to use the water and the settlers can
make no use of the land unless they
can get water upon it. This will
make complications that win give
rise to all kinds of litigation.
Fifty-fve thousand horse power is
what Francis NJ. LYMAN, Jr., pro-
poses to bring from the Duchesne
river to Heber City, Park City and
Salt Lake City. If any power escap-
es from the point where the water
is to be diverted 1t will be picked
up later further down the Duchesne.
The records of State Engineer Tan
ner's office show that Mr.. Lyman yes
terday made three filings-one on
800 second feet of water, one for
100 second feet of water and one
for 1000 second feet of water. The
first filing is made on the water of
the Duchesne river, the next on wat
err of Lake Fork and the third on the
water or Rock creek, another trib-
utary of the Duchesne. The water is
to be carried in canals 10000 feet
long. according to the filing papers.
Mr.. Lyman in discussing the matter
last night said that the power was to
be used for commercial purposes in
the cities named and that he had no
definite plan of the projects in view.

RIO GRANDE's BIG EARNINGS.

The annual report of the Denver
& Rio Grande railway shows that
during the fiscal year closing June
2Oth, the earnings of the company
increased more than 100000.
The gross earnings of the COM
pany during the year were S17,03l,-
5O7. This was an increase of $751;
O72 over the gross earnings of the
previous year The net earnings for
the year wereS6 .SG2 SAC, which is
IN increase of $474,555 over the year
previous. The percentage of increase
in gross earnings was 8 Sc per cent
and on the net earnings 7.43 per
cent.
The report is signed by e. T. Jerry.
Mr.. Jedry says that the traffic TO and
from the west over the Denver and
Rio Grande is on the increase and
that every Indication points to still
greater increase.
The fact that the Denver and Rio
Grande and the Rio Grande West
ern railways have guaranteed the
interest on the bonds of the West
ern Pacific is made clear in the re
port. If more than S50,000,000 is
required to construct the Western
Pacific and the d. & r G. and the
rio Grande Western will purchase
The bonds in excess of the amount
mentioned.
Reference is made to the labor
troubles OF the fiscal year 1903-19O4.
President Jefry says that all labor
troubles have practically disappeared.
and no serious troubles have appear
cd since the year previous.
The strike of the section hands,
row in force, is ignored in the re-
port.
Control of the Western Pacific
railway, projected between Salt Lake
CITY and San Francisco, has passed
10 the Denver & Rio Grande railway.
according to the annual report.

YOUNG CORBETT ANXIOUS
TO MEET BATTLING NELSON

In conversation in New York,
regarding the Britt-Nelson fight
/ Young Corbett had the following to
say:
Battling Nelson won a great fight
when he defeated Britt. l have al
ways considered him grand fight
/ er and hard man to beat. | have
always felt. however. that could de
Feat him if given another chance to
meet him in the ring. l have backing
Tor $1,000 that says | can defeat
Nelson, and money talks. II Nelson
is not ready for business the chal-
lenge can go for Britt. By defeating
Britt | could show that | am entitled
to fight for the championship. |
VIII be ready to enter the ring in
three months time. This would give
me ample time to get back into my
old form.
According to the dispatch from
New York there are many sporting
men who believe that Corbett in his
proper condition can give either Mel
son or Britt a good argument Geo
Considine, who backed Corbett to
beat Terry McGovern the first time
they fought for the championship
Is willing 10 bet any part of $4,000
that the little Denver boxer can de
feat the conqueror of Britt
In speaking of -Corbett TO-DAY Con
sidine said:
IF Corbett gets into his old time
form l think he would have a pretty
good chance with Nelson. ! don't
think that he was at his best in the
last fight with the Dane. II match
is arranged with Nelson or Britt
| back Corbett for $4,000, or any
part of that amount. Corbett seems
to be the next one in line for a match
with Nelson, and l am sure that an
other great contest viii be Witnessed
if they come together.
"Corbett is more than anxious to
get match. He would prefer a fight
with Nelson. but If the Dane insists
upon rest he will take Britt on just
to show that he is entitled to be con
sdered by Nelson.
Joe Humphreys. who is now man
aging Terry McGovern, has issued
a challenge on behalf of the former

Proves to Be a Secret
Place Where Express
Treasure Boxes We're
Hidden-Is "Scotty"
a aBoId Train HOId-Up?
He Always Had Coin
But Never Produced
Ore or Nuggets

salt Lake City, Sept. 12.-It seems
certain that the mystery surround
ing the Walter Scott gold bonanza
in the Funeral range Will soon be
cleared up. No one in possession
OF their senses has ever believed that
the wild and woody "Scotty" had a
mine worth talking about, but the
fact remained that he could alwavs
produce the coin. The following
story from Goldfield makes it look
as though the real source and the
mans money supply had been found
and. like the well written novel of
the Dare Devil Dick" order, the un-
raveling of the mystery" is coming
all in heap in the last paragraph:
Hidden far under a huge pile of
rocks and sagebrush smoothed into
as close a resemblance to undfsturb-
ed nature as possible, and within a
few feet of what has been positively
identified as Walter Scott's home
sixty-five miles south of the funeral
range, there has been unearthed three
of the money chests of the Wells
Fargo & company, broken open and
rified of all their contents.
John Poe, a one-time famous foot
ball player of the Princeton team.
made the discovery, and upon his re-
turn to Rhyolite confided it to John
T. Overbury, a prominent and well
known mining man of the southern
districts. whose word is absolutely
reliable. According to Poe's story
while prospecting on the desert he
met Zeifle, who is one of the first
discoverers of the Walter SCOTS hid
den home. Zeifle was almost enthus-
iastic over having found the dwelling
place, and, feeling tnat he was hot
on the scent of the mysterious mine
he urged Poe TO accompany him in
the search.
''At last the climax was reached
and at the bottom of an immense
pile of powders, sagebrush and in
discriminate rubbish was exposed to
view three of the great boxes. One
apparently recently opened, lay un
covered in the sun. A fact which
caused the men to glance significant
ly at each other was that the boxes
gave evidence of having come from
the Santa Fe railroad and were evil
dently too large to have been used
on a stage route. Broken bits of
the boxes We're found gathered in
pile and buried.
"Overbury stated that Poe seemed
TO be a man of his word and added
that his story was accepted as bona
fide in Bullfrog. Poe left Zeiile in
n canyon near the scene of the find
and returned for samples TO Rhylite.
He will rejoin his companion at
once.
