Stranger Buys Land.
One morning. several years ago. and
almost before the inhabitants were awake,
a stranger arrived in Pahreeh. and be-
fore dinner. so IL Is reported. he had pur-
chased every farm and town lot IN the
narrow valley.
The on train was from Arizona, would
load boilers. engines aud queer looking
machinery Al the Marysvale station. and
the dcstins don was Pahreah, That was
about all the Information that the profess
sioral force pump interyiewers Of Marys-

that could, OF cared 10. give To the In
tho coveted Information.
Little by little II leaked out that the

the amount of from 10 cents To $50 per

Keeping Very Quiet.
Ia a general way the foregoing is all
the information thst has leaked out re-
gardins the new. and somewhat strange
mining enterprise that has been matter
or kseuest interest and speculation for
the people OF south central Utah during
the past three or four months. The pro-
verbal oyster is village gossip COM

pany's agents regarding the nature Of
their enterprise About the only thing
that Is tangible is that the company is
spending money like water and report
SAYS that half million good snoleons

enterprise is in full blast,
Prospectors arc finding their way into
that frontier valley OF gold. and but 1T
tic is talked OF in this neck OF tho woods
aside from the subject OF the Pehrcah
country and iis billions Of dollars stored
In those forbidding blue hills.
Tho digglngs on the Colorado will, OF
course be tributary To Arizona while the
Pnhreah enterprise will be a.Utah asset.
There is no doubt that the blue clay
hills Of south central Utah, like the blue
limestone of Colorado. will be diligently
searched for the precious metals. and
thai, too. with as little regard FOR sur
rounding conditions.
