All Officers Now
on Salary Basis,

The new state law putting all
county officials on a salary and
doing away with the fee system
has gone into effect. II is the
occasion for no bonfres or other
celebration in the Cherokee coun-
ty court house. Few, if any, of
the officials make any decided
gain in gate receipts under the
new regime while to some of
them it entails a considerable
loss.
Hardest hit by the new deal is
o. W. Fail, clerk of the district
court. The law provides that in
counties of $4,000 to 10000 the
salary of the clerk of the court
shall be $1,000 and that the
commissioners may allow $3.50
Tor clerk hire.
This changes the clerks Office
in Cherokee county from one of
the fat" to one of the lean ones.
Fred Simkin, the deputy in the
Columbus Office, draws a salary
which amounts to considerably
more than $3.50. Besides this a
deputy in the Galena Office must
be paid.
1t is impossible to take care of
the work of the court without
these two deputies. Practically
all of the time Clerk Fail and
Deputy Simkin are very busy and
during court terms and immed.
lately before and after they are
rushed to the limit and then
some. 1t is equally necessary to-
have a deputy at the Galena di.
vision.
The county commissioners feel
that the Legislature also played
a joke on them. The law pro-
vides that in counties of this
size the commissioners shall
draw SIS day for their services,
but not to exceed twelve days a
month or 500 for the entire year.
The commissioners say that it
is practically impossible for them
to handle their work in this linn
tied number of days. The idea
of working additional days with
out any pay naturally does not
appeal to them very strongly.
Chairman Livingston says he an.
ticipates they will have to do
this as past experience indicates
that in many months it is i'm.
possible to take care of all the
work in twelve days.
The law provides that in coun-
ties of $4,000 to 10000 the sal
airy, of the county treasurer shall
be 81, 200 and the commissioners
may allow $1,000 for deputy hire.

congregaiionaI Church Notes

Next Sunday we have the promise of the presence of President FernaDga of the Souhland College. He will speak in the interests of that IDstitu- ton in the morning, and in the even ing will give an illustrated lecture of life in the great Northwest. We have every reason 10 believe that these ser vices will not only be deeply interest ing, but of great value in revealing some of the great questions with which our western educators are dealing. We are grateful to the choir and the Ladies Social Circle for arranging with the Lotus, Male Quartette of Bos- ton to be with us the last of this month. Those who have heard these singers do not need one word of sug- gestion about making plans to hear them again, and those who have not had this privilege will miss an excep- tionally good opportunity of listening to one Of the finest quartettes in the country if they fail to be present on the evening Of the 25th inst.
 The Society Committee are exceed ingly gfatified at the unanimity with which tfie new plan Of arranging for seats has been accepted by the congre- gation. Almost without exception the people have not only accepted the plan but have been pronounced in speaking in it's favor.
 At meeting of the Sunday School Committee last Sunday 1t was voted to recommend to the school that II. C. Bradford and Alvin Martin be sent ss delegates to the Northfeld Summer School Of Sunday school Methods which will be held in July.
 The (. F. topic for the fourth sun day in this month will be "Favorite verses in the Psalms Ps. 19. 1--l4, with Miss Marion Maynard as leader.
 President Fenenga will give the ad- drest on "The mission of the Western College" next Sunday evening.
 Ozora Davis says: My enthusiasm concerning the work being done at Northland College grows as 1 go over the impressions remaining from my recent visit. The renewal of the task of the colonial college in the northern slashings grips hard my idealisin and makes my pulse quicken. There's a tonic atmosphere up at Northland. There's dead-in-earnest, wanting to- count, joy-in-work kind of spirit. It Is concrete in boots and shoes up there. You have raised economy to the nth degree.

Elm Street improvement

Mayor Macdonald has received in- formation from State Highway Com missioner Bennett that the state is soon to begin the promised improve ment of Elm street. The street, il is understood, will be improved from the Congregational church northward. What the method nf improvement will be has not been stated.
 This street has long been one of the worst thoroughfares in the city not withstanding that hundreds of dollars have been laid out on it.
 The street railway has been notified to be in readiness 10 do their share of the work, which includes the street be- tween the rails and a strip on each side of the outer rails. Abutlers are warned that they must make sewer connections if they have not done so already, so that the improvement once done it will not have to be torn up again for this purpose.

VICTORIA LOW GRADE
Silver Dipper Is Establishing
Western Tintic as Good
Prospecting Area.
LOW GRADE

There were three interesting devel.
opments in the Tintic district during
the past week, according to the Eureka
Reporter. The Chief Consolidated, Vic
torIa Consolidated and Silver Dipper
properties were the scenes of now finds
of Importance. The Chief Consolidated
management drove into Its new ore on
the 120o-foot level, giving it at the
present time five different levels on
~, the 500, 1000, 1900, 400 and 1000
levels. The management is making sat
lsIactory progress in installing the
stope filing method of mining, and pro-
duction soon should be back to nor
NAL.
Last Tuesday the Victoria manage
mcnt drove into large body Of ore on
the 1000-foot level, and while it is low
grade it is stated the values contained
are sufficiently generous to admit of di-
rect shipment. The company is max
recently encountered ore body on the
l200-foot level, car lot shipments from
which have run as high as $2500. Vic
toria conditions throughout are ma
terially improved.
On the Silver Dipper group in West
Tintic there is a good vein exposed on
which the management is driving a
shaft. From eight inches on the sur
face a. stringer of ore has widened in
fifteen feet to three feet in width, ana
it is said to be good shipping material,
Several tons are out and shipment
will be made as soon as possible. Sam
Piles assayed ran from 90 to 60 per cent
lead and from twenty to forty ounces
silver to the ton. Other properties in
that section are to be placed upon an
operating basis within the near future.
The new cyanide plant operating on
the May Day dumps has had its initial
cleanup, and precipitates valued at
$500 have been secured. These are
the product Of handling about 900 tons
of ore. This little mill is producing
results that line up very satisfactorily
with the early experimental mill opera
tions.
The survey made of the Emerald
Centennial Eureka properties as q re-
suit of the 100000 litigation recently
started by the Emerald company has
been completed, and the engineers will
make their report to the court in
short time.

DAY BRISTOL TEAM
IS BEING ORDERED
Officials Confer With Local
cal Firms for Equipment
for Well-known Mine.

George f. Bent, general manager OF the
Day Bristol Consolidated company, ac-
companied by Trea surer Arthur w. Md
dleton Of New York. was in Salt Lake
City Saturday comforting with local ma
chinery firms with the view Of letting the
contract at an early date for the new
aerial tramway which will be placed from
the property In the Bristol, New, dis
trict to the railroad line. The tram
cost approximately S35, 900, and will reach
from the Bristol side TO the tracks.
While the company has been produc-
Ing for the Salt Lake ore market about
thirty tons Of frst-class rock daily for
quite a time, about 1000 tons OF ore have
side until about $4,000 tons II the same
are now available. The grade OF this
ore can better be marketed on account
OF It's lower grade with the tramway In
operation. So since the tram is ready for
Its task there will be a large tonnage
creased production on the part or this
organization.
The properties within the Day Bristol
lines are among the noted producers OF
Nevada, and its operations are OF espe-
cial interest locally. owing TO the eX-
trtct Mr.. Bent states that 1t Is the plan
OF the company to drive the May Day
shaft $50 feet from its present depth
OF 500 feet, TO install q new hoisttng
plant over the same. and to connect with
the Gypsy workings. from which the
present ore tonnage is being extracted.
This will afford far better operating IA
cllities, better air and bring 10 view new
ground OF undoubted merit from a min
eral standpoint.
