Besides this the company has an
easement with all but one or two of
the farmers OF the district. so that the
land may be taken over by purchase.
Besides this, the company. through the
last legislature. is granted the right
of eminent domain.
Through these methods the company
intends to ward off any troubles that
might arise from smelter smoke. The

a detention home for the Juvenile
court. The Uintah school building,
which has been used as a detention
home for some time, has been sold to
the Poplar Grove congregation and the

and chief probation officer.
The commissioners have made an

installed on this level and Will be
used in dropping the shaft down to a
depth of 1000 feet. From the 1,400-

along very rapidly on account of the

The North lift at Silver is sending
down to the Tintic smelter a lot OF
ore which has been piled at the mine
for some time. A force has been put
to work, which will break ore enough
to permit OF a shipment of about
sixty tons each month. A contract has
been made with the Tintic smelter for
the receipt of about this amount OF
ore monthly, and 1t is believed that
the property can be kept in the pro-
ducing class for this amount of ore
for some time TO come. There are
great many men In Tintic who have
a lot of faith in this property. and
they will be pleased to learn that the

clip, about 10000 pounds, to B Harris
OF st. Louis for % cents. Mr.. Win
tors had declined II cents, but when
the st. Louis man ran the bid up To
25 cents, Mr.. Winters saw II was a
record sale, and that no higher price
could very well be expected, so he let
II go. However. this Is no antagon-
istic move against the Chicago storage
plan, for Mr.. Winters pays his 1 cent
per pound to the Chicago Warehouse
company, just the same as though he
had shipped his clip there for storage
prior to sale. The wool Is mostly
Cottswold and of the finest quality.

Lexington, KY, May 2a-It is stat
ed today that negro miners who were
brought to Jackson, Breathitt county,
to succeed white miners in the coal
mines there. were preparing to leave
and will get away as rapidly as pos
sible. This decision follows an attack
on their boarding house Saturday
night in which the house was riddel
by bullets and one building partially
destroyed by dynamite.
The outbreak at Jackson follows a
similar state of affairs at Benston
Station. where soldiers are guarding
the negro workmen at rock quarries.
Much feeling has also been engendered
in Shelby county because OF the pro-
posed location there of four-aundred-
thousand dollar negro school.
