There is a movement on foot to have the oil lands of southern Utah sur- veyed. There are a great many locations being made at the present time. These In the nature of things are staked out In the crudest manner, and In case the field ever becomes productive, there will be an endless amount of litigation. In Washington and Kane counties, where the greater atnount of development Is now under way. there re 158 townships which are yet unsurveyed, In most of which there are great many locations now being made. The estimated cost of the work has been placed at 1142,000, and the department ol the Interior has been appealed to to urge an appropriation by congress at the present session. It is to be hoped that this end will be accomplished, as the government by its neglect, should not be the means of causing an endless amount of law- suits. Those who are acquainted with the field say that enough work has not yet been accomplished to prove or to disprove It. There are at the present time In the neighborhood of sixteen rigs of one kind and another now at work In the district around Virgin City. The greater portion of these are unfitted for the ground through which Jo drill. In tponsequenoe of they this there have been almost fatal mishaps In all of the wells, and the time has been taken up mostly In fishing for broken tools. In the one well where there was a flow of oil brought In, through the Ignorance of the owners, it was ruined by an Improper shooting of the hole. Instead of using nltro glycerine, they made the attempt of shooting the well with giant The effect of this 'was to powder. close it entirely. In the meantime there should be a united effort upon the part of all who are Interested in the develop- ment of the dlstilct to have the land surveyed. There Is no question but that if the proper representations were made to congress, the appropriation could be secured. A MIDWINTER TRIP TO COAL- VILLE. Where is Coalville? Is that the place where all the coal comes from? as Well, hardly, not even nearly, there are but a few small coal mines e in the neighborhood of the city. Is in Summit county, about 1.400 feet higher up in the air than Salt Lake City, way np in the beautiful Weber canyon. Have you ever been up that canyon, either in summer nr winter time? If you have not, you have missed something both of pleasure and interest. we But let us start from where ought to start, namely. Salt Lake City. We left aforesaid city" (as the lawyers say) on the Oregon Short Line, which, by the way. is one of the finest and best equipped railroads in the United States, and arrived in Ogden in little over an hour's time. After waiting about twenly minutes we boarded the Union Pacific train to Coalville. This train Is by the people, who lire In the beautiful little cities situated In the Weber canyon, called the Ting Pong" train. The reason why It is given that nnme, we don't know, except it should be on account of Its many turns and twists up. down and around tbe mountain. The settlements and cities between Ogden and Coalville are Uintah. Peterson, Morgan, Iienefer and Echo. On the road we passed the Coal-vib- world-famou- s long, deeo gulch called The Devil's Slide," situated on the ridge of a high mountain; a little further up the we road passed the wonderful Witches Rocks, mid Pulpit Rock." These peculiar and mighty rocky eminences arn evidently remnants of the e old of an undent river, standing there as monuments of the erosion that the land around them has suffered. . Well, we arrived safely In Coalville, and were glad to get out of the overcrowded train. At the station we were met by Mr. J. Howard Beard, d who secretary of Coalville Co-oua to his charming residence, where we were heartily welcomed by his sweet and accomplished wife, nee Judith Anderson. We had thought or going to Park City, but upon our arrival In Coalvlll we learned that Park City had. shaking In common shut down, or. In other words, land-surfac- win-ducte- par-lane- e. modern two-storbuilding, about 75x 125, and the front looks very much like the Z. C. M. I. in Balt Lake. This concern deals in everything you can imagine, and does an enormous business. The superintendent is Ml'. Geo. Beard, a gentleman of rare business ability and refinement, and also an artist with the brush. We had the pleasure of visiting his studio, and found pictures there that some day will become world famous for their beauty and perfectness. A mountain scene, painted by him. Is now. on exhibition in Z. C. M. I. in Salt Lake. We visited tbe only barber shop In town, but after waiting an hour we had to leave, there were too many nexts. A barber shop anywhere on God's earth is generally the place where you hear everything that is going on In town; but this place was the limit The barber waa as silent ss the pyramids of Egypt. The silence wsg so great that you could hear each hair striking the floor as they fell from his shears. A tonsorlal artist like him would be worth his weight in gold in Salt Lake. The city owns the electric light plant, but has not any pipe water system. Here is a chance for a person with means to build and get control of the waterworks and made a legitimate profit, because tbe people want the water in their housea now; but tbe city Is at present bonded to the limit. The Coalville opera house Is a large frame building. It la owned by Mr. George Beard, seats about 600 people, and Is well lighted by electricity. The floor is made of polished maple, and rests on a pivot, so that when the place is used for dancing the floor can be swung level. The seats are then removed, and the canvass, which covers the floor when performances are given, la taken off. There is hardly a week but what some eastern company performs at this place, and the patron age is large. The Summit stake tabernacle Is located in Coalville. It la a pretty brick building with many spires and a tower in the center. It is very much like the tabernacle in Provo, both as to architecture and interior, only the Coalville tabernacle Is more handsomely decorated. It scats 1.500 people, Is well lighted and has a beautiful pipe organ. Summit stake academy la situated on a hill to the north of the' city. The huiliRng Is a two-storbrick, and does ont look much like an Institution of learning, but the faculty is excellent. It la the knowledge you want. It la dot the structure that gives you the wisdom yon seek it Is the teacher. The ancient philosophers nearly all taught in the open air; yes, and the greatest teachings of Christ you will find In the Sermon on the Mount. So, it is not the place, after all, but the man. We said before that Coalville is the seat of Summit county, consequently It has a county building, and it is a beauty. It Is by far the most beautiful public building we hare seen for a of its size in any place between city the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean. It is built of a yellowish sandstone, taken from a quarry Just across the river, belonging to nobody. Coalville has a brass band, and it is an exceedingly good one. We were utterly surprised to hear such strains of sweet harmony; not a harsh note heard. The Instrumentation is very good. We dont know tbe leader of the band, but he is certainly a man of ability. The only thing that marred the performance was the operator of the big bass drum. He did insist upon syuroiiatlng the notes. Deputy sheriff John Callls took us through the county Jail. It 1b located about twenty feet behind the court bouae, and is built of sandstone, brick, Iron and steel. It is indeed a modern structure, with ample room for 27 There were no occupants, which goes to show that the people of Summit county are a law abiding people. The county commissioners are; Hon. William Archibald. Hon. Geo Smllh and Hon. J. M. Woodard. The other county officials are as follows: Cbas. U. Jones, county clerk; I E. county recorder: James Donn. county treasurer; Mr. Evans, sheriff; Mr. Jones, surveyor. The treasurer, we learned. Insists upon having bis headquarters at Park City. This is a gross violation of the law. The county treasurer must have his office at the county seat. If the treasurer dont want to have his office at Coalville, he should resign his office; if he don't want to, he can be forced to do It. Mr. Alma Eldredge was the mayor of Coalville up to January, (his year. Mr. Frank Croft Is now mayor, and we think that under his administration Coalville will make rapid strides forward. y NO. liKW. 1. boxes steel belt hooks, 187 picks. 672 C.
