 The 24th of July was the sixty second anniversity of the arrival of the Pioneers in the Salt Lake valley. It is a state holiday in Utah and is celebrated generally among the mormon people wherever they have settled. The day was appropriately cele- brated here in Snowflake. An interesting program was render ed in the new amusement hall. Mir. w. ". Willis was the orator of the day and i'll his remarks he gave an interesting account of the hardslips through which those faithful pioneers passed and the remarkable success in colonizing which the mormon people have acheived.
 During the afteroon a dance was given for the children and a ball game and other sports at the Academy grounds enteatain- ed the people. In the evening the new amusement hall was opened and the young people had one of the most enjoyable dances of the season.
 The only incident to marr the celebration of Pioneers Day was the loosing of the three year old daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Lafa- yette Dana. The child disap- peared about four o'clock in the afternoon, as it might be expect ed the loosing parents were al most distracted. Immediatly al large party some a horseback others afoot started a careful search throughout the town and up and down the wash, after a search of about an hour and an awful lot of excitement word was sent out that the child had been found under the bed asleep,
 Miss Ella Hopen of Pinedale came to Snowflake to spend the 24th. During her visit she was a guest of Miss Martha Hunt.
 There is very strong rumor that Joe West son Of Ezra West, is about to give up the hapiness of lonely singleness and 1 enter the mysterious realms of 1 matrimonial bliss. The little bird whispers that Miss Elma Straton is to be his companion in the undertaking. It is said by those who are spreading the muror that Joe can be seen from the early hours of morning until dark with hammer and saw in hand making radical changes on the West ranch at Woodland. If the rumor is true the News wish es them all the happiness in the world.
 Mir. and Mrs. Lafeytte Dana from Mesa are spending the l. in Snowflake and will probably remain until Septemb- CT. Mrs. Dana who has been in i very poor health is slowly im- and it is sincerely hoped by her many friends that she may entirely recover while here

evening, when a depth of three feet
had been secured, a |panning was
made that would average about $50
to the ton.
According to reports. the ledge
can be traced on the surface from
the original find, and this is what
led the operators to trench in the
section where they made the find.
As a consequence zeb Kendall is
highly elated over the discovery and
will continue the operations with all
haste possible.
The appearance Of the Cooper
Nagle property remains the same
and the operators continue to sack
the high grade ore.

erty, but up to the time Mr.. Ken

SHIPMENT SCHEDULED
SOON FROM NINA

Dick Walker, or David Fl. Walker
as he signs himself, is preparing to
send out an ore shipment from his
property at Nina. Mr.. Walker has
spent the last few weeks superin-
tending the operations Of the prop
erty and the following from the
Western Nevada Miner of Nina,
shows that several good ore bodies
have been opened up:
David II. Walker, manager of
the Rose group, Of which Walker
brothers are owners, was in Nina
this week. For some time they
have had a force of miners at work
pushing development on the prop
erty. and Mr.. Walker informs us
that they have opened up large
bodies Of shipping ore. a carload OF
which is sacked and on the dumps
ready for transportation to the rail-
way at Nina.
-. S. Davis left here this week
with his big freighting outfit to
commence hauling it in for ship
ment to the smelters at Salt Lake.
The property is located "a few miles
to the east of Nina. in the same
district with the Copper Contact and
d number of other excellent prop
critics. A large amount of ore has
already been blocked out and the
indications are that the property
will be a steady shipper. The sec,

CYTY FREE

The court of appeals in Califor-
MIA reversed the judgment of the
lower court in Inyo county in the
case Of John Cyty, who was found
guilty of manslaughter in killing
Il. Kyle Smith a year ago, and was
sentenced to ten years imprison-
ment.
It seems that during the trial the
presiding Judge ruled out some
questions asked of Robert Grant by
the defense, to which exceptions
were taken. This point was argued
by the defense in it's appeal and
seems to have formed the basis for
granting a new trial.
Later adyices are to the effect
that the district attorney of Inyo
county entered a motion to dismiss
the case, which motion was granted
and Cyty was set free. The prin-
cipal cause for this action, it is
said, is the poverty Of Inyo county
and the desire to save the expense
Of another trial,

ALMOST LOST HIS
TEMPER WHEN "CUSSED'

Several days ago John Gordaz
lost his situation in one of the
mines in this camp. He accused
John Surzich of being the cause of
him losing his job. In fact he was
sure that George had carried tales
to the shift boss. After thinking
the matter over John went to
Georges cabin Sunday night and
commenced to tell George what he
thought of him, his family and In
fact everybody that bore the name
of Surzich. When words failed to
arouse Georges temper. John dared
him to come out in the street and
fight. Now George is a p~eaeeable
man and never has even had the
faintest desire to engage in a fis-
tic combat. So he hiked to the
justice court and told his troubles
to Judge Atkinson. Yesterday JohI

A MILL FOR THE ToYABE

The coming of the year will bring
the east side into the line of reg
ular production. The Toyabe COM
pany has bought a five stamp mill,
which will be erected Just below the
shaft known as No. g..
From this shaft a drift is now
being run westward for the pur-
pose of blocking out ore. This
work is on the central vein Of the
Toyabe system, and at no point yet
explored is the vein much smaller
than the width Of the tunnel. A
general sample from 1875 feet cf
work on the vein, and taken from
the full width of both the 'haft
and the drift shows values OF
S17.4O to the ton. As this ore is
very free, it is thought it will anal.
gamate an average of SIS, particu-
larly as the general sample doe
not include any part of the severa
lunches Of high grade ore that hai
been encountered. In the presen
drift there would seem to be abou
six feet of ore worth hosting an
milling.

NEW LEDGE OPENED
ON KEANE WONDER

The Keane Wonder has a new
strike and it promises to be a big
one.
John Keith, superintendent Of the
mine, phoned Homer Wilson Thurs
day night that a certain bunch of
assays had returned big values, and
desired to know from what point
the samples were taken.
Sample No. / went SEQ per ton in
gold, No. 2 SIS, and No. 3 $3.50.
Speaking of the find, Mr.. Wilson
said that on various occasions when
he and Mr.. Keith we're riding up to
the mine ON the tramway, he had
pointed to an outcrop of yellow ma
terial and remarked that in all
probability that outcrop indicated q
big lead mine.
A few days ago Mr.. Wilson's cur.
iosity got the better of him ant
he crawled down the deep canyon
making a dangerous trip and sam
pied the outcrop, which on inspac
ton had all the indications of
lead carbonate deposit.
Mr.. Keith reports that none o
the samples show a trace of lead

Billy Douglass and Tom Kendall
yesterday received their assay GER
t~iicates from the samples secured

Nagle lease at Glendale, in which
both gentlemen are interested.
An average was taken from one
foot of the ledge adjoining the wall,
and the returns yesterday showed
this ore to go s224.77 to the ton.
Eighteen inches of the ledge adj
joining the hanging wall streak
from which the first sample was
taken, averaged $34S.51 to the ton.
From 1000 pounds of ore that had
been picked down in the winze. the
results show the body to average
s32S.65. The returns are better
than was at first expected and the
Az foot ledge should mill better
than 5000 to the ton, as has heen

LITTLE o BLUE

The little toy dog is covered with
dust.
But steady and staunch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red
with rust.
And his musket moulds in his
hands.
Time was when the little toy dog
was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our
Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
Now don't you go till l come" he
said,
"And don't you make any noise!"
So toddling off to his trundle bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, an angel
song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
on. the years are many, the years
are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of a little face.
And they wonder as waiting these
long years through,
In the dust of that little chair.
What has become of our Little Boy
Blue
Since he kissed them and put
them there.
