 From Bull Valley.

Should any one doubt the ability of Utah to provide nerve tingling gold ore from its richly laden hills, ore that would depopulate half of Nevada were it to be exhibited as coming from a new Nevada discovery he will be convinced by one look at the samples from the Bull Valley property which are to be seen at the office of M.

May Cancel Mining
 Patent of Cattle Co.

A very interesting case called up in the United States court will be that of the United States against the Grand Canyon Cattle company and B. F. Saunders. The case will come up on the motion of the government for the appointment of an examiner to take the testimony of witnesses who are scattered over half dozen states.
 The government is endeavoring to set aside patents granted to Saunders more than ten years ago to certain mining claims in the northern part of the state These patents were after ward transferred by Saunders to the cattle company. It is alleged by the government that the ground was not located by Saunders for mining pur- poses as he averred in his application but for the purpose of obtaining pos session of several springs which lay within the ground he sought to patent. These springs were attractive to the cattle company which is not in the mining business.
 On account of the widely scattered witnesses, the government has elected the appointment Of an examiner tt take the testimony of the witness 1T the cities ant towns nearest theil homes. It is understood that the de fendants will oppose the appointment of an examiner preferring to bring the case at once to trial.-Coconin' Sun.

Sacramento, Dec. 27.-The organi-

nouncement here. William w. Lorain
a licensed aviator who enlisted in Com

tional guard, recently, has interested
the adjutant general in the establish
ment of an aerial corps.
Lorain has volunteered to aid in Or
ganizing and instructing militiamen
should the state see its way clear to
organize the corps.
The need of an aviation corps, the
adjutant general believes, would be
imperative should the state troops be
ordered to patrol the border. There
is no money in the adjutant generals
fund to buy aeroplanes, but tenta-
tive plan has been formulated to get
several licensed birdmen to enlist in
the militia.

Pittsburgh, Dec. 27.-In the largest

for any evangelist, "Billy" Sunday
will open an eight weeks revival here
tomorrow. The huge structure was
reared on the Bellefield tract, near
the National League ball park, and
three carloads of lumber were used
in the construction of the rostrum

The building will seat about 10000
people beside the chorus of from 1900
to $500 that has been rehearsing for
weeks. Despite its dimensions only
four weeks were consumed in the
building. A large force of Pittsburgh
workmen under "Master" Joseph
Speice-Sunday's contractor-did the
work.
Sunday admits that Pittsburgh has
proven the hardest place he has ever
tackled. But he predicts that he will
convert thousands while here. Stern
opposition marked his coming

they have not been given encourage
ment to believe the railroad company

the claim against the government for
closing the break in the river, which
the directors will not consider, has led
them to believe that condemnation

Against Argentine Dance

(By united freSS ASsOclatlonS)
Paris, Dec. 27.-The Argentine min
lister to Paris, Senior Enrique Lar
reta, has barred the dance of his coun-
try which is now creating furore all
over the world. "There is one place
in France" he declared, "where the
Argentine tango will not be danced
and that place is my house. To Ar
gentine ears the very music is un-
pleasant. An orchestra which / had
recently at my house struck up a
tango tune and Immediately ordered
the players from the house." Senor
Larreta declares that he can see no
difference between the tango as it is
danced in the elegant ball rooms of
Paris than that danced in the disre-
putable night resorts in Buenos
Ayres-the same gestures and the
same contortions. 1t is not true that
Argentine cowboys dance it, he said
the gauchos dancing very different

Everything Quiet
In Mexico Today
fBy United Press Associations

Washington, Dec. 27-There were
practically no developments in the
Mexican situation today Officials ad-
mitted the japanese government show
ed anxiety for some of it's subjects
in the rebel territory on account of
persistent reports of Mexican federal
and Japanese alliances.
Mexico City, Dec. 27.-Details of the
massacre of the garrison of Juchipila
in Zacatecas, after the capture of the
town by the rebels, have just been re-
ceived. Three hundred of the garrison
were taken prisoners. All were killed
after being tortured in every way that
the barbarity of the victors could sug-
gest. Some were dragged through the
streets by horses until dead; others
were horribly mutilated with knives
or machetes. Some of the citizens
who had given offense to the rebels
were similarly butchered. Many wom-
en- were attacked. The town was COM
pletely looted.
The Zapatistas are overrunning the
states of Morelos and Mexico and even
the federal district almost at will.
They are outfighting and outgeneral-
ing the federals day after day. In a
fight at Yatepec, in Morelos, a detach-
ment of 200 federals lost 92 men
killed. They were compelled to aban-
don all their horses and a big supply
Of ammunition on pack mules and re-
treat on foot to Chernavaca. The Ia
pata organization is gaining acces-
sions every day and many fear they
will soon venture an attack on the
capital itself.
Fighting was reported at Topic,
Conception and various places in the
states of Vera Cruz, Sinaloa, San Luis
Potosi, Coahuila and Jalisco. None of
these engagements was reported here
in the newspapers or made known to
the public in any way. Not one smell

Over the bodies of the little ones,

United in their grief over the snuff

guards and strike-breakers and the
stricken union miners and their
friends gave no thought to the big
labor battle that indirectly is blamed
for the loss of life.
There was still a dispute over
whether the offer of the Citizens AL
lance, an organization that has been
considered hostile to the strikers, to
defray all the burial expenses, would
be accepted. Officials of the Western
Federation of Miners declared that
the offer would be spurned.
