MANY GATHER,
SEEKING MINES
Uintah Reservation Is the Scene of
Much Activity Just Now.
SURVEYORS ON GROUND
SALT LAKERS RETURN AFTER
DASH FOR CLAIMS.

Mining men who have returned from
the Uintah reservation report land and
mineral seekers already beginning to
gather there. The movement now in
progress has brought many within the
boundaries while strings of outfits are
on the road. Provo canyon seems to be
the favorite route and it is getting heavy
travel
Several Salt Lakers returned Yesterday
Most of them had gone up to look after
Stakng mineral locations. These are
situated in the forest reserve recently set
apart by the government
boundary of the reservation many camp
outfits are located The owners of some
have gone right into the reservation
fore they make the journey.
Take Surveyors on Ground.
appearance a dozen or more surveyors
are already on the ground, selling maps
and looking for chances TO sell informa-
ton to men who want to know where to
get good land, These men are ready for
business already. although it viii not be
until after Aug Il that parties can really
make any choice with view to standing
any chance of location. The presence of
surveyors already is taken by the initi-
ated to indicate that they will be on the
ground in big numbers after the drawing
Trouble Likely Over Locations.
This question of locations is apt to bring
more trouble, according to men familiar
with the country than is anything else
In the rush. The number OF really re-
spOnsible parties, men who can locate
anyone on land. is said by these old
timers to be very small. At the same
time there are already men claiming to
know the country who haven't any idea
what is there and what it is.
Reports brought back by returning Salt
Lakers would indicate that the newly es-
tablished forest reserve is the mecca for
a big proportion of those who have en-
tered the reservation. The reserve is
said to contain big iron deposits as well
as other minerals. Among those who are
on the ground looking it over, Il is stated,
there are representatives of one or two
big corporations, who look 10 get more
holdings in this section.
Bunco Games Many.
Reports from Grand Junction, Colo,
indicate that there are a number of
question: BILE money-makiBg methods
being practiced there at the expense
of homeseekers. Among these reports
is one to the effect that a Grand juno
ton man is offering TO register by
pOwer-of-attOrney for old soldiers and
is charging SIS for so doing. Those
who have been spoken TO concerning
this. state that the excessive charge
i'm itself should make the old soldier
hesitate TO go into the plan. One man
is making the offer and no one person
can register for more than one old sol
der. AS a matter of fact, all that is
necessary for a veteran to do is to get
someone going TO or staying at a reg
istering point to register for him, first
sending along the proper power-of-

DAVIS GIVES
STRIKERS SIDE
Organizer Talks of Rio Grande Road's
Trouble With Section Employees.
VAlNLY SEEK ARBITRATION
MEN INSTRUCTED TO LOOK FOR
WORK ELSEWHERE.

D. c Davis, organizer for the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way employees, yesterday gave the
strikers side of the present trouble
with the Rio Grande road Mr.. Davis
is just back from a trip through Colo
RADIO. which he made after he and the
other brotherhood officers Ieft Denver
last week
The strike is on in full force in Colo
RADIO he said. I'm Utah the road sue
ceeded IN discharging nearly all its
union men before they had walked out
They were dismissed because they had
Joined the brotherhood
The employees demanded uniform
pay of S1-15 for the men In place of
$-4o a day in Colorado and as low
as $125 a day in Utah. The Greeks
and Austrians who have been en-
ployed by the road got $3.50 to S1.75
day For foremen an increase, prom
tsed in 1892 when the cut was made
IN Colorado, was demanded. This
would bring all their wages TO sos a
month Pay for overtime was also
asked.
Declares Arbitration Refused.
Now we have been trying for more
than three months to adjust this thing.
and all this work was in vain. We
had the greatest difficulty getting au-
dience with General Manager A C.
Ridgeway and General Superintendent
Herr. When we did, or when we got
letters to them. we were told that the
road could handle its men and that
no arbitration, such as we had pro-
posed and such as the road had pro-
Vided, would be usedS
We spent a long time in Denver.
We made three trips there. And in
no case were we able to get any con-
n fNrrr. n I-
time the road began a movement
against the brotherhood AS fast as
employees We're found belonging to it,
they were discharged in Utah. In this
way the road got rid of many men
on the Sanpete branch and the main
line. They were dismissed simply be-
cause they belonged to the brother
hood.
Our representatives. while in Den
yer. did everything that could be done.
would be called out. and this was iS-
nored. The men were then called out.
Ordered to Seek Other Work.
When they left work the men did
so under instructions to turn over their
tools and got receipts for them. They
notified those over them when they did
so. And now they are instructed by
John 7. Wilson. president of the broth
erhood, to go and seek other work until
this thing is settled. We hope to get
this settlement through the sympathy
of the public. If they know our cause
is right and that we have done the
right thing, they will in a way support
US. And we viii get chance to pre-
sent our case 10 fair judges. This is
all we want
Meantime, we are conducting this
strike along just these lines of letting
the people know how we have been
treated We will use all fair methods
TO do this The meeting of Aug TO-
when NJ. Grant Hamilton will speak
will be held for just this purpose"

officers from their soft snaps in the
navy department. where they are do

ing them to sea, to discharge those

AT the time the presidents prOcla-

that reason it was stated in the proc

was summoned but could do no good.
At last the farmer declared the cows
were ''bewitched" and forthwith
summoned a witch doctor who
went through certain proc eeding
and said the COWS were bewitched
and the witch would appear before
sunset and would ask questions
which would require an answer no"
which no member of the family
should say. The witch doctor had
scarcely left the farm when the
''witch of the Alleganies" appeared
and had not been seen upon the farm
for a period of nine years. All the
members of the family hurried into
the house save one young lady who
stayed to talk to the witch, She
asked the young lady many questions
and she forgetting the instructions of
/ the doctor answered No No SOON
er than she had said the word the
witch disappeared and never again
set her foot on the farmers pro per-
tv. This is related by the father aud
is vouched for by the three sons who
/ declare it to be a position fact.
At another time the witch" had
gone to neighboring village 10 buy
some provisions. She saw a farmer
who resided near her and she asked
him TO haul her home in his wagon
which he refused to DO and started
home with his team. While driving
along a very fine horse in his team
got very sick but he at last reached
home. Suspecting the witch had
placed spell upon his horse he sum
moned the witch doctor who prompt
ly said that the horse was bewitched
and cutting a small portion of the
horses name cas- it in the fire and
burned it and told the farmer that
the next morning the witch would ap-
pear with q burnt foot and asked for
a pound of butter which they should
refuse and if they did so the witch
would die. True to the doctors warn
ing the Switch appeared the next
morning with burnt foot and beg
ged the farmers wife until at Lass she
: gave her o pound of butter. The
farmer, when he returned from the
field and learned what his wife had
e. done was very indignant and said
she should have carried out the doc
, tors orders.

davs that no one could believe that

In little valley surrounded by all
the beauties of nature, in miserable
hut, lives this strange woman, whom
all the neighbors look upon as being
possessed of the power of evil almost
equal to that of his Satanic Males
ty." Her hut sits in a lovely place
entirely surrounded by great forest,
filled with all the different kinds of
trees and growing vegetation. 4
little brook winds in and out among
the trees, and the sportive trout darts
to and fro through its clear and placid
waters. The birds singing their
sweet notes seem to contradict the
powers of this much-feared woman.
While the old woman lives all alone
in her miserable hut, possessed of
great wealth which she inherited
from her husband who died many
years ago, she denies herself all the
pleasures that her wealth might
bring her and lives on day after day
without being VISITED by any one,
spending her time in solitude, having
no visitors save the birds that fly to
and fro.
To visit her hut you would imagine
it to be the home of a beggar. She
has not even a bed to sleep on, but
when she lies down to slnmber it is in
bunk nailed to the side of her hut.
Her furniture consists of an old stove,
table and few chairs.
Occasionally she visits the grocer
in a nearby town to purchase few
necessities of life and then betakes
herself back to her hut, there to re-
main until hunger drives her fofth
again to replenish her stores The
farmers fear to meet her on the road
way for they say to meet her is &c
meet with bad luck as she is consid-
cred an evil omen. To have her cross
farm is certain to bring disasters fOl
number of years to the owner OF
the farm. And the thought is ofte L
expressed that they would as leave
have the devil to cross their pathway
of the witch CT the Alleganies. -
\ farmers son relates the story o.
the witch appearing in his bed room
He looked at her as she stood beside
his bed and as she seemed to put forth
her hands over his body he cursed
her and hurriedlY left his room, relat
ed what he had seen to his father
who told him he had been dreaming
which the young man strenuous,
denied; the young man then returned
to his room to again retire and pcssi
