Crimes Committed for Diamonds.

OF course no one objects to women
having reasonable amount of Jew
elry, what they can wear without os-
tentation or any great concern for it's
safety; such modest possessions are
sanctioned by universal custom, and
from all time jeweled rings end
trinkets have been symbols Of love
and should remain 80. Besides there
is beauty in precious stones just as
there is in other stones not called
precious witness the opal,
the most beautiful of them all. But
when women value jewelry neither
for its beauty nor its associations, but
merely for it's costliness, when they
wear as much of it as they can sim
ply to show that they have been able
to buy that much or make men buy
it for them, when their pleasure in
having it lies chiefly in the knowl-
edge that others envy them, then
say the love of jewels is an evil
thing, based on arrogance and self
ishness. And cannot see what
justification any woman who knows
of the misery about her can find for
spending half million dollars or
anything like it on jewelry!
1t should he noted, furthermore,
that the chief harm of this passion
for jewels is not in the waste of mil
lions involved, although that is bad
enough, but in the stirring of envy,
in the promoting of extravaganza, in
the urging of dishonesty. If we
could know what crimes have been
committed for the sake of diamonds
we should see that there is some
devils hypnotism in the glittering
stones and would have them all cast
into the sea for general safety. Ger
tain it is that no house where pre-
cious stones abound is free from evil
desires. Servants are tempted,
guests are tempted, strangers are
tempted, even intimate friends are
tempted. Who has forgotten the
story of those stolen Newport Jewels ?
And so the unfortunate owners of
these wonderful necklaces, tiaras,
plastrons, rivieres, ETC., must hire
men to guard them when they wear
these coveted treasures or else leave
them unseen and unused behind
stupid iron doors. There are palaces
on Fifth avenue with safes for silver
and Jewels as massive as those in
bank. And there are millionaire
homes where no one is ever free
from the hard eye Of lurking de-
tective. know one such home
where three detectives are on duty
night and day, each one to watch the
other two. That is one of the minor
penalties of riches.--Exchange.

Team Still Missing

No clue has been found up until
this morning. of the team lost by
Alvin Buchlin and J. II. Gallupe.
deputy treasurer, which got away
from those two gentlemen on their
return trip to this city on Monday
night, after a short hunt of two days
on Pinon Mesa.
The gentlemen. according to their
story, were about seven miles from
Grand Junction. Their respective
sons We're riding on horseback in
front of them and it was becoming
dark. Suddenly Mr.. Gallupe pitch
ed forward dropping the lines and
fell from the wagon. Mr. Bucklin
jumped out Immediately to render
what assistance he could to Mr. Gal
lupe. the horses had not then start
ed TO run away. Mr.. Bucklin states
that while he was rendering assist
ance to Mr.. Gallupe and seeing if he
had sustained any very particular
injuries, the horses began to move
of. At first it was less than dog
trot Mr. Bucklin called whoa" to
them and knowing that the team
was quiet thought that they would
stop. But they began to move faster
and faster and in Iew minutes they
were lost from sight down the road.
As there is but one trail down the
mountain both gentlemen thought
they could soon run across their team.
but hunt as they could they lost all
trace of them and were compelled to
abandon the quest for the night
Shortly after the team had gotten
away a boy on muleback came along
and he was told to look for the team
and he would be paid. he promised to
do so, but the gentlemen never saw
the boy or the team .afterward.
1t was found that Mr.. Gallupe had
sustained no severe injury, only a
general shaking up and pursuit of
the teamwas begun. They looked
everywhere. but could find no trace
OF the horses or wagon. Finally
they came home and yesterday be-
gan the search again. Mr.. Gallupe
and Doc Lamberton on horseback,
but could find no trace oil the team
whatever. Mr.. Bucklin was also in
the work of hunting the team, but
no trace whatever coulu be found of
IL. The gentlemen were surprised
that they could not even find the
place where the team turned out.
The conclusion of Messrs. Bucklin
and Gallupe is that the team has
either been stolen or it has fallen
from some cliff into an inaccessible
ravine.
The wagon in which the gentle
men were riding contained their
camp. outfit, two or three of the fin
est pattern of guns, owned by Mr..
Bucklin and another one owned by
Mr.. Gallupe. The horses were one
used by Mr.. Gallupe, one belonging
to Treasurer Williams and the other
horse owned by Mrs. Thornton.
1t is 10 be hoped that the team
will be found, If it is still on the
| hill, before IL is starved to death or
in time to end the suffering of the
horses, if they were hurt in falling
over some cliff.
Mr.. Gallupe says, in explanation
of his falling forward and out of
the wagon that, he was suddenly
overcome with faintness, falling for
ward and out OF the wagon, dropping
/ the lines as he fell.

SEARCH FOR GOLD
ENDS IN DEATH.

A dispatch from Goldfield, Nevada,
states that in the maddening quest
for gold throughout the southern
part of Nevada, and particularly
lower Death valley, two more men
have lost their lives. Attracted 10
this treacherous section of the
country by the tales of fabulously
rich ore from Walter Scott's (Scot-
ty's) mine. south of Furnace creek
Roy Newton and a companion NAM
ed Peterson have perished from the
intense heat and accompanying thirst
that are constant menaces to pros
pectors.
Peterson's body was found by
searching party and buried among
the sand dunes of the valley. New
ton was found in frightfully crit
ical condition and his death is but
the matter OF only few hours at the
most
For months previous to leaving
Rhyolite on prospecting trip, New
ton conducted the Java restaurant
He and Peterson left Bullfrog more
than a fortnight ago, at the time of
the alleged discovery of "Seotty's"
mines. Newton had previously pros
pected through the Funeral range
and had located some claims in that
section. He intended performing the
necessary location on these holdings
while in search for Scotts treasure
house.
The party of rescuers. who have
returned after burying Peterson and
administering in every possible way
to Newton's intense sufferings. give
n narrowing tale of the evidence of
the awful suffering endured by the
two men. Places were found where
the thirst-crazed men had dug holes
in the burning sand in search of
moisture, and their tracke which
were plainly visible, showed that the
men had wondered aimlessly in the
futile quest for relief for their ter
rible sufferings.

Once more the veterans of the
Grand Army of the Republic are

MUCH GOOD LAND
IN TIE RESERViTION.

Inc following interview with Unit
ed States Marshal Haywood. regard
ing the Uintah, appeared in the Salt
Lake Herald yesterday:
we have class of people in Utah
and Colorado who know how to get
water on land and now to use the
land after the water is on it. With
this in mind, it is absurd to say there
is no good land on the Uintah reser-
yatlon, said b. B. Haywood, United
States marshal. last night.
Mr.. Haywood returned Yesterday
from Vernal. where he has been since
the opening of the reservation to
preserve order about the United Stat
es land office there.
Il am almost tempted to sit down
myself and write what know of the
situation there continued Mr. Hey
wood. when | read what some men
have been saying about the country
| am almost tempted to write, as
tell you. But nobody need worry
about the land on the reservation.
Those who have numbers anywhere
near the top and use average judg-
ment in locating their claims will
have splendid farms. When any
there it simply means that he didn't
look or that he can't tell good land
when he sees it."
mo man has given closer aten-
tion than l to the development of
this region during the past forty
years. can remember when even
the Salt Lake and the Utah valleys
were practically deserts. saw
Ashly valley when it contained only
eight ranches on May 2,1S79. and |
left the other day when 1000 per
sons were getting a comfortable liv-
ing from it. l remember what that
country was in 1879 and | know this
new reservation country is of the
same character. They have the soil,
there is abundant water, plenty of
timber, miles. of good grazing land
everything necessary to the making
of great agricultural country in
addition to the mineral resources
of the region. OF course. the ones
who will make the greatest successes
there will be the people accustomed
to our arid country, because they
know how to develop that kind of
country"
Mr.. Haywood says tnat Vernal is
wide open" with lots of excitement
and plenty of gambling, yet good
order is preserved. There have been
no gun fights or anything of that
sort and Tor tnis condition MT. hey
wood gives the chief credit to Sheriff
Preece, whom the marshal compli-
ments highly.
Excitement ran high about the
land office during the first few days
of entry. says Mr.. Haywood, but the
marshal and his deputies had no diff
ficulty in handling the crowds. Mr.
Heywood took with him as deputies
r. b. Hildebrand, G. S. Ford, Charles
Smell and B. T. Haywood. The dep
uties are still at Vernal.
Mr.. Haywood declines to serious
" discuss the story that he was a
likely candidate for appointment as
Indian agent at White Rocks. He
said:
Il am looking right now for the
man who started tnat. ! want to get
him to tell something about it,.
