To DEVELOP
COWBOY MINE

Active work has been begun at the
old Cowboy mine, eight miles north of

and is to be continued for an indefinite
period, according to Captain N. B.
Easton, who returned to Ray this week

have moved to the property with their
families and expect to pursue devel-

may lead.
The property, which consists of three
claims, has already produced about
$4,000. Workings include the old Cow
boy shaft about 70 feet in depth, a As
foot shaft at another point on the
property and a number of short tunnels
along the ledge. A mill is to be install
ed capable of treating 1000 pounds of
ore an hour and shipment of concen-
from Christmas About 18 tons of lead
silver ore are now awaiting treatment
at the mine.
Captain EastOn was well pleased
over conditions at the property, and
brought with him on his return a num-
Der of specimens of gold nuggets from
this famous old mine. He plans to re-
turn to his home in Michigan by way
of Southern California, where he will

caught her clothing. Her grandmother
hearing the child's screams, rushed to
her aid and succeeded in smothering
the flames, but the little girl had in
hailed the flame. She died the next
evening. Mrs. Pages hands were burn
&c badly in trying to save her grand
daughter.

home, conducted by Rev. Fitch of the
Methodist church. Burial was in the

A UTAH COUNTY
MAN FOR GOVERNOR

The Republicans of Utah seem
to be much at sea in choosing
candidate for Governor. Among the
names mentioned as good materials
to choose from that of Stephen l..
Chapman has been included. Salt Lake
leaders are reported as being very
favorable and these appears to be a
growing sentiment.
There is no reason why Utah
County man should not be considered
and there is no reason why S. l.. Chip
r7r should not be that man. He
has had wide experience as an exc
cutive, legislator and a business
man. and has made good in every
case. He is young enough and old
enough, and II elected. the state would
have no reason for being sorry for
having made him its chief executive.
Incidentally. an ex-American Fork
citizen seems to be In fair way Of
receiving the Democratic gubernator-
ial nomination. Joshua Greenwood,
now a District Judge in the 9Th Ju-
dicial District is frequently mentioned
as likely successor to Governor Spry,
Judge Greenwood has many friends In
this county. and II nominated he
would get big vote here.
