They try to make people believe that it was because the delegation voted to encour-age the building of a road from Carlin to lioise City, but as they only put up four figures, leaving Johnson out, it was a give away on them. Johnson was the only one who fought against the reduction of county expenses. Carson Appeal. An exciting wild cat chase took place yesterday on the north side of the river, in the ltlossom field. Verging the river is a dense growth of willows und under-brush, so closely interwoven that man or horso enter not, which ;s the lair of numerous wild Rtiimals down from the mountain tcps in the spring of the year. Five horsemen rode by this jungle and started a wildcat out of his couch. A lively pursuit followed, in which the five speedy horses, leaping ditches ami hedges, aud the rulers throwing their lariats whenever close enough, kept, well ou to the beast, until, after a cir-cuitous chase of three miles, Jimmy Plossom won the trophy by a dexterous swing of the rope, and rode proudly into town with the skin strapped to his saddle.

San Francisco coal is the latest topic for discussion by mineralogists, says the San Francisco Chronicle. There is not enough of it mined as yet to cut any figure in the market, still it is hard to say what influence it may have on the home trade. A reporter visited tho miue yesterday afternoon. To reach the place you get oil at the Ilaker's beach station of the Cliff House ifc Fer-ries railway and walk along the track nearly a quarter of a mile toward the tunnel until you come to a precipitous bluff looking down on tho waters of the Golden Gate. Several tons of newly blasted rock are seen over 100 feet be-lo-amdr IseTe'T'hat a'gartg drilling and blasting an opening to tho drive or tunnel that is being made into the bluff with the intention of ex-ploring the coal vein and seeing what quality of fuel can be found. The tun-nel will be driven at least seventy-fiv- e feet, and if the indications are favorable a shaft will be sunk and the mine worked. The reporter was shown over the grownd by Assistant Superintendent Thomas (j'Leary. There are indica-tions of coal for over 100 feet in a ver-tical line. Specimens from the differ-ent sections of the vein were secured and are at the Chronicle business office for inspection. Foreman Harrison, who is in charge of the work for Adolph Sutro, said everything looked favorable for good results. There was coal beneath the surface aud the formation of the rock and sand stone were to be relied on as showing a fair cyiality of bituminous coal. Ho believed the quality of coal to be superior to that of the Livcrmore mine. It was possible that the newly discovered deposit may develop an ex-cellent article. Tho old Wellington coal miner who made the first discovery is understood to have sold his claim to W. M. Js'eff, a saloon keeper near ilaker's beach. Mr. Sutro visits the mine twice a day and takes the greatest interest in the work as it progresses. Although the vein shows on his property, there is every indication that it extends over into tho land of the railroad company, a couple of hundred feet distant. Su-perintendent Lynch is very enthusiastic over the coal find, and predicts a rise in the stock of his company should the coal pan out, as it would decrease ex-penses in the cost of fuel for the motive power. The original proprietor has been joined on the Marin side by several others, and the Lime point government reservation is being fully explored. Should coal be discovered there the finder will be entitled to a strip of land to work 1500 feet long and 000 feet each side of the vein. MONTANA NOTES. Ou Tnesdey Jeff Xelson killed a cougar near his home at Camillas, that measured seven feet from tip to tip. The animal made a hard light. Some of the finest timber in the northwest can bo found iu the Flathead lake country.

Tho members of tho city council of Walkerville have hit upon a now idea in regard to the choice of a city 'mar-shal. 'They have advertised for bids, as appears from the following paid no-tice which was published in tho Tele-graph: Theclty council of WaSkerville will elect a city marshal at tlinir next regular meeting, Aprils. Appll-atto- for the position must r-- sent In wrttliiK to the elty clerk ou or be-fore 4 p. in., on Weduesday, April 1. Judge O. R. Milburu of Billinjrs fined J: II. Conrad for disregarding a .summons to appear as a trial juror, it being a contempt. Though in town several days before time for the jury to appear, he made no effort to be excused but left Billings when the jury was called. When the tine was announced Mr. Conrad refused to pay it, and said he would tight. Ihe judge lined mm $23 more for contempt and saiil it would stand unless ho apologized, which Mr. Conrad refused to do, where-upon he was fined $0 for contempt and ordered committed till paid. The slier-il- l took him out of court and Mr. Con-rad paid the $100 aud was released. F. M. WRICHT Complete! III! Contract on th New Com-mercial Itlork. F. M. Wright tho well known con-tractor has just completed what is 'known as the syndicate portion of the Commercial block located at the corner of Commercial aud Second South streets. Tho building is one of the most imposing and substantial struc-tures in Salt Lake City, the material used being the very best quality obtain-able, aud the workmanship of the finest and highest order. Mr. Wright has been the recipient of countless compliments from the owners of the building and his host of friends and therefore has good rea-sons to point with pride to tho tower-ing monument that has been carefully reared under his able supervision. Mr. Wright was also sole contractor for the new Hooper block which is one of the most modern and complete of-fice buildings ia tho west, In addition to these contracts this gentleman has been awarded the contract for the construction of the Clayton block opposite tho temple and likewise a three-stor- and basement business block to be erected on South Main by 1. P. Alexandor. Mr. Wright has a number of other large project! in view, and bids fair to eclipse all former efforts in the direction of securing large contracts for the construction of busi-- I ness and office buildings. His office in room 14 in the I'tah Hardware building has recently been the scene of much and' mystery, and no surprise would be occasioned if he were shortly to announce the roeeipl of another big undertaking. The Barllaf ton Route With 7000 miles of steel laid track penetrating the states of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas.Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota, is the designation of the B. & M. rail-road and other roads controlled by tho C.

Professor v . T. Foster of St. Joe, mro.., nun uiaiiH- a iciouiNla..o.ti.vl icooiu u,.fi storm prediction during the past win-ter. His predictions have been pub-lished by tho Denver News, and they have been accurate almost to precision. The latest forecast, uuder date of March 29th, is as follows: "My last letter gave forecasts of the storm w ave due to pass the meridian of Denver about March to ijlst. The next will also be an important storm, both as to its force and the amount of rainfall that will accompany it, especi-ally in the low lands. It will be due to leave the Pacific coast about April 4th and pass Colorado about tho 5th, but will not reach its greatest force until about tho time it passes tho Mississippi going east ou tho Gth or Tth. Tho cen-ter of tho low barometer of this storm is expected to pass north of Colorado, and the severe gales that will accom-pany it will probably not affect vour state to any great extent, and the cold wave and frosts following it will prob-ably not be very severe as far south as Denver. Very warm weather may be expected just preceding this storm wave. "Unusually heavy rains will accom-pany the storm, and with the melting snows in the mountains, great Hoods in the Missouri valley during the first half of April may be expected." |
