District Court Meets
Here Next Monday.

The first term of the District Court
in and for the county of Torrance will
convene on Monday, February 4th in
the county seat. The commissioners
have been busy trying to find suitable
building, but so far nothing better than
the temporary courthouse has been
available A meeting of the board will
be held tomorrow morning to try to
secure some more suitable place.
Probably the most important case to
come up at this time will be the trial of
Domingo Wales, charged with the
assassination of Col. J. Francisco
Chaves at Pinos Wells on November
26, 1904. Since the preliminary hearing
here in the fall Of 1904, Wales has been
held for safe keeping at the Territorial
Penitentiary at Santa Fe. Other trials
for murder will be Lee Longino for the
murder of Davidson at Moriarty, Jap
Clark for the murder of James Chase
at Torrance, and Bermudes for the
murder Of one, Lueras, southwest of
Willard last year. The term will not
be extremely lengthy on account of the
scarcity Of funds, but several Of the
cases may be rather drawn out never

LEGISLATURE TRIES
TO CURTAIL. POWER
OF Governor by Making District Attorneys
Elective.

The first week in the Territorial
Legislature was wholly taken up in the
hearing of the message of Governor
Hagerman. This message will stand
throughout history as one of the lead
ing appeals by an executive pleading
for legislation for the people. Every
measure advanced by the governor is
one of Importance and necessity to the
best interests of the territory. That
the legislature will heed very few Of
his suggestions isnot unexpected as both
houses are controlled by the gang which
some time, and the governor has used
his ak without fear or favor, several
members Of the gang falling victims
thereto, since Mr.. Hagerrnan has been
at the helm. But nevertheless the
fact remains that the people-the com
mon people-have become weary of the
bosses and are awakening to the neces-
sity Of asserting their rights.
The question of extra employees filled
the balance Of the first week and while
all who We're expecting to lunch at the
''pie counter" have not been satisfied,
certain it is that the legislature will
not want for servants nor will the ser
wants have any kick coming on the
amount Of their wages. 1t might not
be bad plan for few conntry editors
to apply for a job as sweepers in the
legislative halls at the nice rate of four
plunks per day.
The first slap at the Governor was in
the form of District Attorney Bill,
providing for the election of these Of
fcials at the general elections after
1909, and the appointment of the in
cumbents of these Offices by the council
in the interim instead Of their being
appointed by the governor as has been
the case recently. Some Of the district
attorneys have been vigilant in assist.
ing the governor in carrying out need
ed reforms and have thus antagonized
the gang. Others have been derelict
in their duties and have been removed
by the governor To leave this power
in the hands of such a man as Govern
or Hagerman would soon dis-organize
the gang, SO for self preservation, it
becomes the duty Of the gang to take
away such power and place it in safe
place. The bill was railroaded through
the house by vote Of II to 7. In the
Council, it was given more time, as
pretense Of sane legislation.

Beautiful Sight Was the Eciips

One of the most beautiful sights
imaginable was the eclipse of the moon
on Tuesday morning, shortly before sun
rise. The moon, which had just be-
come full the night before, entered the
shadow at little past five o'clock, the
shadow gradually growing, until about
seven O'Clock. The moon was totally
shadowed at just about the same time
the sun rose, the rays Of the sun being
reflected by the darkened moon. Very
seldom does one witness such beauti-
full sight.

TINTIC is BOOSTED AS
IDEAL SMELLING PLACE

The wisdom displayed by Jesse
Knight and associates in selecting the
Tintic district as a location for their
new smelling plant is becoming more
apparent every day and it would not
be at all surprising if other smelters
are erected here within the next few
years, says the Eureka Reporter.
In the first place there is absolutely
no danger of a clash with the farmers
as there is no vegetation to be injured
by smelter fumes in the Tintic valley.
Then. on the other hand, the Tintic
district is desirably located with refer
ence TO the railroads.
A great deal of the ore from outside
the state which the smelters are called
upon to handle comes from Nevada and
now that the railroads are being built
into that state from the southern points
il would be an easy matter to bring
this ore over the San Pedro railroad
to smelters in the Tintic valley. The
railroad haul would be cut down mater
tally and there is absolutely no reason
why the ore could not be smelted as
cheaply here as anywhere else. Water
might cost the smelling companies a
little more in Tintic than it would in
some other places, but we believe the
other advantages would more than Off
set this.

OIL STRIKE IN
CEDAR 60. WELL
Wire Message Confirmed by
Letter That Says Oil Is
There in Quantity.
GOOD AS RHYOLOITE WELL
SCENES FROM THE FIELD DE.
PICTED IN HALF-TONES.

a report reached the city yesterday
that the oil strike in the Cedar City
company's well in the Virgin river
field was fully as important as that
made in the Rhyolite No. 1 well, from
which as much as 100 barrels have
been pumped in one day without learn
ing its real capacity. This news fol-
lows the Geographic account of the
strike which reached here Wednesday
night. The Cedar City company's well
Is located on section TO- about two and
one-half miles due north of Virgin City
and thTee-fourthS of a mile north and
a little east of The well being put down
on section 10 by the Southern Utah
company.
Oil has now been struck on three
sides OF the latter well, and President
II. II. Clark is now more sanguine
than ever that his cOmDany's well on
section 10 is one of the best located in
that portion of the field He has had
no word from the we'll since the new
crank shaft for the engine was sent
down early in the week, but he sup
poses that drilling has been resumed
by this time and that it will not be
long till news of a strike is REPORTED
from there.
scenes IN the oil fields are depicted in
the three half-tone pictures shown on
this page. The one in the lower left
corner is the camp of the Southern
Utah Oil company. The picture at the
right shows the original upper oil
seep or the Virgin river, and near
which the first attempt TO get oil by
drilling was crowned with success at
a depth of 30 feet. This well and seep
are beth on ground owned by the
Southern Utah company in section %
about two miles west and a trifle north
of Virgin City. The scene in the upper
left-hand corner gives a good idea of
the formation and stratification of the
country rock in that region. This pic
ture Y as taken at a point eighteen
miles southeast OF Virgin City, five
miles east of what is known as Ante
lope springs. and on the edge of the
line dividing Utah and Arizona 1t

sizing up that section, and who states
that conditions there are very similar
to what they are in that portion of

CACTUS MINE
IS WIDE OPEN
Samuel NeWhOuSe Sends Or
derS to Marshal Forces and
Cut Loose Again.
BOSTON CON. ALSO IN LINE
MEANS METAL AND FINANCIAL
SITUATIONS ARE CLEARING.

On direct orders from Samuel New
house the Cactus mines and milling
plant of the Newhouse Mines & Smell
ters corporation are to be operated at
capacity again and Superintendent A.
ID. Moffat is now marshaling his forces.
He left for camp Friday night with a
number of skilled men for the various
departments of the mine and mill, and
within the next few days he expects TO
have a complete roster of high-class
men filling all positions in both mine
and mill
General Manager Lafayette Hanchett
of the NewhOuse interests was out at
the Garfield milling works OF the BOs-
ton Consolidated during the day, so it
was not possible to get a statement
from him. Assistant Manager Lar
renee Townsend, however. fully con-
firmed the news given in the above
statement and added that what was
being done at the Cactus was also I'M
der way at the Boston Consolidated
properties, where operations have been
resumed in the porphyry deposits and
from which ore is now being shipped to
fill the 30,0O0-ton receiving bins at the
new 3,00O-ton milling plant at Garfield.
at which the finishing touches are now
signal operation.
This is the best news that has been
released in a mining way for a month.
II means that the money situation is
clearing up nicely and it means that
several hundreds of good men are TO be
given steady employment right away.
Neither the Cactus nor Boston CONSOLE
dated has been entirely closed during
the strenuous times of the past three
months, but where it was possible to
cut down expenses without interfering
with development plans the cut was
made. There probably never would
have been any trimming of forces at
either the Cactus or the Boston Con-
solidated, only that it simply became
impossible to market copper. In cur
failing production these companies have
done their share toward relieving the
glut i'm the metal market and the fact
that Mr. NewhOuse has sent orders TO
cut loose again means, if it means any
thing. that the metal situation, as well
as the financial storm, is clearing up
nicely.

Mines and Mining Stocks

The market yesterday was a little
stronger than usual. due, probably. to the
better sentiment shown in the eastern
markets, and some of the brokers ex-
press the opinion that November will go
into history as the holder of the low rec
ord in prices for local mining stocks IN
this special period of the country's de-
preston. Some of the stocks in the list
have been lower than the close of the
water mark, and, as compared with the
LIST of November there is hardly any of
them that are not very low.

O0INGS OF UNLISTED

There was but little attention given
to the unlisted stocks yesterday. Ely

and Ohio-Kentucl1y at 81, while 81 was
bid for Ohio Copper without an offer
ing at any price.
Many of these unlisted stocks were
quite active up TO a month or six weeks
ago and the belief is that they will
again be attracting attention almost
before the fact is appreciated. Like list
ed stocks, they are now all down to
bargain counter prices. This is partic-
ularly true of some of the Ely and
Yerington issues, some of the Tintics,
some of the Binghams and some rep
resented by properties in other Utah
