Perished in the Snow. Three weeks ago a young man named David Bullock started ont from Cedar City on horse-back to go to what is known as Winter Ranch, a station some distance off kept by his brother. The snow, as will be remembered, was very-deep at the time, and. when about twenty miles from the ranch, Bullock sent his horse back and attempted to finish his journey’ on snow-shoes. The horse went back to Cedar, but as it was known that Buljock had taken snow. shoes.along with him, no anxiety was felt until a letter was received at Cedar from his brother stating that he had not arrived ‘at the ranch. A search was immediately instituted, but beyond where Bullock parted company with his horse, no tracks were discernible, and it is supposed that the unforttinate young man lost his way and has perished in the snow. . Traveling companies report Salt Lake a bad place for amusements... The theater, no matter how great the attraction, is not filled asin former days, when Ey and cabbage passed current. At the Catholic Church on Tneeday evening next, Father Heyde will deliver his prom. ised (second) lecture on “‘Africa..’ Doors open at 7 o'clock; lecture to commence at 8. Admission, 50 cents. We understand that the Jump-off Jee," on the Grapevine Waeh, about half a mile south of the Romulus, has about four tons of $100 rock onthedump. Now, by St. George, the work goes bravely on. A couple of the old Reef boys, Johnny MilJer and ** Sandy” Loughney, are now in Frisco running @ restaurant, and doing a rushing bueiness. Like the fellow who saton a redhot stove, they ain't to be kept down. The Fourth of July comes this year Sunday. This will enable preachers to orate nnbeknownst.. The bankers will have to work one day more * the month, and for once the Sunday school schoflar can claim a truce from the catechism class. Under the head of ‘ New To-day," in this fasue, will be found the card of W. B. Sager, the popular young merchant of Stormont. Sager’s prices will be found to compare fay: orably wilh those of the Reef, and he invites the boys to give him a call. One of our New York exchanges, in noticing the arrival of a “bar” of Christy bullion in that city, worth about $1,200, gets it *car.”’ “We can assure our cofein., however, that *‘ bar’’ isthe ‘correct card.”’ The Reef bullion is finer than coin — and keep it in your memory, Mr. Exchange. The work of putting In the three additional pans at the Stormont mill will commence tomorrow and probably be finished in a week. With this additional amalgamating capacity the Stormont will produce more bullion for the number of stamps in operation than any Other BOR crashing institntion in the Territory. The rumor eet afloat by some unmitigated scoundre! that a MINER reporter was seen the other night in company with two individuals who ‘were on a tare,” it is almost. necdiess ‘to remark is false in every particular and has not the slightest foundation in fact. It-is a . noterious fact that printers never — well, har—who threw that stove-lid ? The bullion shipments from Silver Reef through Wells, Fargo & Co. for the week ending February 7th, aggregated $19,573.42. With the Barbee mill running, three more pans in the Stormont and the Christy capacity enlarged, the rippling stream of bullion that will soon flow from the Reef will challenge the attention of the world. One of our exchanges says that ‘if you sit down when assailed by a ferocious dog, the animal will not touch you.”’ This only holds good provided you can sit down on top of a house or a tree, and leave thé dog barking below. But if you are as heavy as Jack Shean, a better way would be to sit down on the dog.. He wouldn't touch anybody after that. The whistleof the new Barbee mill gave out Its first toot yesterday noon, and a more’ welcome ‘sound to the ears of our citizens than those screams that rent the air of ‘the Skodtumpaw could hardly be imagined. By the 10th, or the 15th at the latest, the stamps will again be clattering on Barbee ore, and big shipments from this famous mine may be looked .for, At an adjourned meeting of the Silver Reef Educational!

While Mike Tarpey was book keeper for the Meadow Valley in 1870, a dainty kidgloved young man of strictly temperate habits and sporting a plug hat (the first plug ever worn before..or--since in. Pioche,) was sent up to supersede Miké. Steps were at: once taken by Mike and friends to circumvent him. They got the trice young man “billing” drunk, and kept him drunk for severaldays. At last they got him in such acondition that, he did not know what Jand he lived in. The supreme moment having arrived they mashed in his plug, blacked his face, put him on the stage and shipped him back to San Francisco. The young man did not turn‘up again, and Mike held his position at $300a mouth until Pioche began to decline. i es The Southern Hotel. Among the finest buildings that Southern Utah can boast of is. undoubtedly, the structure just finished by Mr. J. A, Farrell at Frisco, and known to the traveling public as the Southern Hotel. The building is of rock and flre-proof, complete in all its appointments and elegantly furnished throughout, the proprietor having spared neither labor nor expense in Atting up the Sonthern-equal to any hotel inthe West. Mr. Farrell has. an unbounded faith in the future of the great carbonate camp of Utah, and having invested liberally we hope that he will soon receive good returns on his outlay. When the Reefers visit the Bonanza camp, they can-do no better than place themselves under the protecting wing of Mince Host Farrell. ——-—_—_ <2 a ——————__ —— A Serious Accident, At-the target practice on Thursday The injuries received by Michael Hanley in therThompson & McNally mine last Saturday afternoon terminated fatally.on Tuesday night. The accident by-whieh Hanley lost his life was one of thog¢ixmentable occurrences which unfortunately happens only too freduently in our mineg,and for which human | foresight has not yet devised any prevention. The funeral services took place in the Catholic Church on Thursday afternoon, and after a brief sermon by Father Heyde the remains were followed to the grave by about 300 of his brother miners—a tribute of respect worthy ef the man— There, beneath the breezy Wast, Tired and thankful, let him rest: Like @ child that sleepeth best On its mother’s gentle breast. Cod Save Yankee Doodle. Mr. William H. Bishop, of Fillmore, Utah Territory, sends us a piece of paper, which, in taking the mountings from an old broken Indian gun, he found imbedded under the breech piece. The gun had belonged to the Ute Indians. The paper had- on it, plainly and well written, the following: ‘This rifle was made by Ebenezer Kellogg, in the city of Worcester. the Common-wealth of Massachusetts, Juty, 1852. God save Yankee Doodle and ail the rest of the American family.” This was accompanied with a pendrawing of an eagle and the American flag.
