HORSE RAISING IN
MASON VALLEY

Among the diversified industries OF
Mason valley tt at of horse raising occu-
pies a distinctive position and a very
profitable one to those engaged i'll 1t.
There seems to be growing demand
for draft animals, and the outside world
is looking to this section to furnish It's
share. Despite the fact that the auto IS
looked to to furnish the quickest trans
portation between points on the desert,
the horse was never more valuable IN
the Sagebrush State than at the present
time.
Among the breeders in this locality,
George Webb, who has lease on the
Stickney ranch. is perhaps the most ex-
tensively engaged. For over twenty
wears he has devoted his time and money
TO the establishment of a business that
has grown to large proportions.
During the years he has been raising
horsehesh for the market, Mr.. Webb
has never lost sight of the fact that the
public desires animals of the best blood.
To that end he started out by importing
several stations of the best European
families. He has followed this cour Sc
throughout until today the purchasers OF
animals for heavy work are constantly
calling for the Webb stock.

AN INNOCENT MAN
IS PARDONED
In UTAH
Served Many Months for
Crime That lie Was
Not Connected With.

SALT LAKE. Jan. 21.-After hay-
ing served nearly 29 months in the
renitentiary for a crime of which he
was not guilty. Jose Basich was yes
terday pardoned by the state board
of pardons.
Basich, in company with several
other Austrians. was convicted of be.
iny implicated in riot at Bingham,
in which Deputy Sheriff Lafayette
Chidester was seriously wounded. He
was sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary on September 1, 1905.
The story, which was substantiated
ye sterday, was that when the riot oc-
Cured Basich was not in the neigh
be rhood, but hearing the shooting,
went to mine Superintendent and
reported il. Then, meeting another
Austrian, he was warned that he
would better get out of town as he
wonld be suspected. He went to
Kaysville, where he was arrested.
Farley p. Christensen, the county
attorney, who prosecuted Basich ap-
,eared for him at the session of the
beard. The Austrian was released
last evening and went to Garfield,
where he has secured employment.
John Toab, Ute Indian, sent up
for one year from Washington coun-
ty last September, was also pardoned.
ioab was convicted of horse steal
ing. He is over so years of age.
The case of Samuel Il. Doman,
charged with statutory offense, was
continued. He was sentenced from
Davis county in July. 1906, to 1 8
years.

Looks Like It Would
Stay at the In.
proved Figure.
Money Falls to Lowest
Price in Months Gen
eraI Improvement.

NEW YORK. Jan. 21.-Copper got
over the IA cent mark today for the
first time in long while. 1t was oc-
casion for much rejoicing in copper
cil cles. Everybody felt good about
1t. 1t looks to those who are in po-
sition to form Judgment as If the ad-
vance would hold. They are SO ex-
pressing themselves tonight In an
interview George Walker says the
metal will not fall below IA and that
1t may go to I6 or possibly better
lefore the present advance eases off.
The news of the improvement in
the metal has good sound among not
few of the producers. Though they
have all held confidence that 1t is
merely matter of time until ADJUST
ment to a fair level of prices occurs,
Somewhere around 16 cents, 1t has
lately occurred to a good many that
the adjustment was dragging pretty
heavy. It has been due for some
time, according to the opinion OF sew
cral of the high cost copper compa-
lies. They want it to come about
with the earliest possible speed.
Money struck the low mark today
hen it reached 21k per cent. This
figure is new one since last fall.
II was early in the season, at that,
when it was last available at any
such price. The decline Is attributed
to good reports from the interior to
easier money among the banks here.
There is not any inclination at the
present time to shorten business IN
any degree

CHERRY CREEK Is
PUSHING G
AHEAD
Several Properties In That
District Are Actively
Working at Present.

CHERRY CREEK. New, Jan. 21.
Despite the general depression and
so-called panic, of which the papers
of the country are talking SO much
the new year ushered into Cherry
Creek district an era of genuine inn
provement which makes the Wall
street furry seem very far away in
decd. The overcrowding of the mar
l-ets with siliceous ore has worked
a greater hardship on this district
than anything else, but development
work is being pushed with vigor on
several properties that have un-
Questioned merit.
The property of the Cherry Greek
Mines company has closed temporar-
lily owing to the inability of the
smelters to take siliceous ores, and
the Biscuit has had to reduce the
force at the mine on this same ac-
count.
The Nevada British Mining COM
paDy, operating the Chief of the Hills
ground lying west of the Star, has
installed gasoline hoist, erected 9
40 foot gallows frame and have d
force of men at work in the shaft
which is to be put down to the S0t
foot level as fast as power and mus
Gle can take the rock out. A conf
pressor plant will be put in soon an6
a larger hoist, capable of going as fal
as 1T is expected to sink.
The shaft house is erected and {
large bunk house and boarding house
will be put up as soon as the lumber
can be hauled to the mine. The re
cent thaw has made very difficult ths
transportation question but the man
ager, J. w. Walker has not let evel
the elements bluff him out of push
ing the work to his utmost ability.
The Nevada Mother Lode Mininl
company, operating in Silver canyon
about one-half mile west of the Blacl
Metal mine, has let a contract to driv
the tunnel on the property 500 fee
to Ryan Bros, & Taylor. This prop
erty is equipped with new gasolin
engine and compressor plant and
is the company's intention to hav
the work pushed as fast as possibi
into the vein which has been opene
on the surface and shows excellen
ore. Buildings have been erected O.
this property to accommodate tn
force. also an engine house and black
smith shop. Two Sinclair air nam
mer drills have been installed an
the property is in good shape TO car
