Minina at Brush Creek

As nearly as Independent has been
able to learn. the new camp over at
Eagle has real merit and will have
something of a boom when spring has
advanced far enough for the snow to
get off.
At present from two TO three feet
OF snow is reported on the ground,
and this prohibits prospecting. The
ore finds of rich silver are said TO be
holding out nicely and some of them
are far enough apart to warrant the
belief that another Creede will result.
A large number of people have come
to the camp, but most of them gone
away again because of the deep snow.
A foot OF new snow was added last
week.

Criminal Hearings Ended

There were several criminal hear

district court of much greater mo-
ment than the one sent over by Judge
Tom Blackwell OF Hotchkiss entitled
the People VS.. Bert and John Crouch
who owned a family of visiting dogs
that were not particularly polite as
to where they went calling, but none
longer drawn or more expensive. The
action was begun on Tuesday and the
jury discharged at about 3 o'clock
Friday evening after failing to agree.
Stone. who is engaged in farming
near Lazear. claimed that the crouch
dogh had trampled down much of his
growing grain. that he had chained
up the mother dog and when the
Crouch boys came for the animal that
a fight ensued in which the Crouches
had used "knucks'' and that he was
seriously injured. There was much
testimony introduced. but not enough
however. to cause a jury of twelve
men to come together on a verdict.

Ward Darley's Reply to
MIR. Cutler, of Utah

Mr.. Cutter objects to the statement
regarding the possible profits to the
beet grower under the cooperative
plan discussed in the Springville meet
ing. which plan is as follows:
To pay the farmer five dollars per
ton upon delivery and after the sugar
company has deducted four dollars per
ton for making the beets into sugar,
the balance of the gross receipts are
to be divided. half to the company
and half to the farmers in proportion
to the bee,s delivered by each, accord.
ing to sugar content.
This plan is based upon the fact
that the growers have invested In the
business as much capital as the COM
pany. and should have the same profit.
II the company had to raise Its own
beets and buy the land for the pur-
pose IL would find that the invest
mcnt in land was at least as great as
that in the factory. Under the pres
ent system the farmers make the in
vestment and are entitled to the prof

Let us see whether or not the farmers

there can be no settled peace under
Huerta. The fact. probably. is that
no peace can be expected under any
of the revolutionary leaders.

to be one of forbearance but pre-
