Kditor of Tiik Sumitkh Minkk : I nee
by an article in the the Grant County
News, copied from Tiik Minkk, that Dr.

xylvanitu ore, that it ix a xecret ax to itx
locality and that eople are very xkepti
cat ahout xueh metal and ore in thin
country, excelally in new mining dix
trietx. Well, Mr. Kditor, I am proud to
state the fact to you, that I am driving a
tunnel now, and have Ikm-ii all winter,

rapliic tellurium and panx out xome

If thix camp, which ix called the New
Kldorado, at the headwaterx of Uoulder
creek, on the xouthwext xlope and baxe
of tireeuhoru mountain, win in Haker

trip through thix part of the country and
xee what ix lHiiug done in the way of de
velopment work, for the more capital
that ix iuexted on thix mineral belt the
more mlnex would bo in ojieratiou, let it
be in what county it may.
We are coming to the front xlowly hut
xurely, and tile proxpectx are here to do
it. We are located ubout xix miles eaxt
from the famous Itadger mine, about
twelve mile wext from the lioiianza, ten
miles north from the Dixie miuex, nine
miles xouthwext from the Quebec mine
and twelve miles xouthwext from the

instant and, ax far ax can he learned,
about 200 xheep were killed. The xhoot
ing occurred about 8 o'clock in the even
ing on the Logan road, in Hear valley,
about three miles eaxt of F. C. Selx'
ranch. Mr. Selx, who arrived in the city
Thurxday evening, reports having heard
the xhotx, which were llred very rapid
ly, and ax near ax ho could judge then
were about UK) xhotx.
It hax been rumored that one of the
ai;grex'orx wax shot through the leg, but
thix rumor hax not been continued.
Keeling ix ery iuteiixe in that cectlou
over outside sheepmen trespassing on
the cattle range, and the cattlemen ap
pear to be determined to put a xtop to
it in xome way, arguing that the out
side stockmen have been repeatedly
warned to keep off the range, but the
herders make no effort to keep their
llockx within the (leadlines. Ax a re
sult, it ix claimed the holdiugx of many
xettlerx hae been eaten off, xmall crops
destroyed and home ranges deouied.
Thix hax brought the xettlerx up in arnix,
breathing engeance against the foreign
er and causing serious shooting affrays
and destruction of proierty.
Another affair of like nature occurred
last week, when masked men shot into a
baud of ewes, Monging to Wm.Mascall,
a well known sheepman of the South
Fork country, killing IN) ewex and leav
ing the lambs. This shooting occured
tin the head of Koek creek. The masked
men held up thexheepherderx, took their
arms away and burned up the camp and
supplies, with the exception of the men's
coatx, which they hung in u tree near
by. The loxx practically amounted to
300 bend, ax the young lambs will prob
ably die without their motherx. Giant

It was the occasion of the graduation of

The work show cil careful and thorough
training and by their united effoit a
most pleasing enteitainment wax given
the audience. MN Spaulding lias a
sweet and llexible oiee, which she has
under excellent control. 'I he Provencal
song perhaps best displaced her tech
nique, hut the closing number from the
German seemed finely adapted to her
voice and she sang it with much expres
sion. Some of the prolonged tones weie
exquisitely clear ami sweet and held
without apparent effort. The 'Spring

an enthusiastic encore. I he opening
