in-terest In the public mind and causing them to search back In past years for comparisons between today and the times gone past In this connection Recorder Higgins has In his possession an old ledger that makes very Interest vel Ing reading The back pages have been used as a record a of claims which accounts ac-counts for Us being sacredly kept and the main Dart of the book seems to have been used by merchants who owned a store in Salt Lake City and another in Camp Floyd The record commences In January 1839 and covers i a period of nearly two years I Among the items noticed is one In which a charge of 55 is made for a I i sack of sugar and In another account n 5 pounds of sugar are chargefl at a J alue of 3250 Coffee is quoted at 65 cents per pound apples probably dried S130 per pound macaroni 100rice 60 cents raisins 5100 currants Ji cents candles 75 cents and peas l00 per quart and blackberry jams 200per cal In the dry goods line prices seem to have been pretty well up for te find tnat Irish linen is quoted at 125 per yard calico 33 cents silk velvet 5800 gingham 40 cents jeans Zl50 fcottonade 150 and cotton check 100 Some lover of luxury is charged 200 for a Turkish i towel and some young man anxious to shine in the of his eyes lady love or c dignified dignitary for some ceremonial cere-monial ceremony ha paid 400 for a black silk cravat The lovers of liquid refreshments and they seem to have been many had to pay 150 to J200 per pint for whisky brandy Is quoted at 200 while wines are correspondingly high A quart of vinegar brought 150 and alcohol cost nearly as much as champagne does today to-day dayAmong Among other items the third district court is charged 25 cents for a box of I matches 100 for a broom 200 for a f d S300 for a water pitcher I l I i A ream of writing Japer > Is set down nt 1000 and a bottle of In c6st 400 In the list of accounts the names of many men who were prominent in Utah long ag in fact but a few of the prominent pioneers are not mentioned while there Is a long list of captains lieutenants majors and other army officers The beginning of the camp is also pictured out by the record of claims cams I is rather odd to note that the frt claim recorded is a placer claim located lo-cated at the southwest corner of the district and discovered by Lewis Greeley the first recorder Bill Hick man seems to have been one of the king pins of the district for the minutes of the meeting at which the district was first organized held on the 16th of April 1870 show he was one of a committee to draft bylaws i His name frequently appears as I locating claims Walker Bros also i appear among the early locators and I they were the owners of the Mormon I i Chief extension No2 I The names given to many of the claims sound strange now In the great gold camp The Silver Cloud Silver I Circle Silver Cross etc have long asp been forgotten and the Gold Eagle Golden Seals Gold Cup Gold Slipper and golden names generally have taken the place of the silvery titles Past records tell us that in those days Lewiston produced 46000 ounzes of silver I ver and no gold today on the same ground thousands of dollars worth of J gold is being produced dally and if there is occasionally a trace of silver It is so small that i passes unnoticed I and the assayer is under the necessity of putting in a little silver to catch the gold In the ores The only traces left of the old camp and its promised prosperity are a few I holes ti in em silver ledge da a couple I 1 of houses The old mill and the old I mine owners are unknown in the camp and but feW can tell which of the old workings belonged to the Moron Chief and other claims are entirely forgotten So many changes come In a quarter woolly west of a century In the wild and Provos Philosopher Provo June 6Proyo has a perpetual motion philosopherIn the person of P P Rathkey who declares that he has shattered all theories that friction is antagonistic to continuity of motion and that he Is able to produce a machine ma-chine simple in construction but the paragon of perfection which will when once set to work continue on until the crack of doom without the aid of steam electricity or any other force Notice has been filed with the county recorder and I has been duly recorded that this discovery has beet made and nearly two pages of a very large book contains the description of this self propelling mill He states In his description de-scription that no wheels were used in the construction despite the accusation that he had many in active operation in his own brain The machine is constructed con-structed on a plane slightly elevated in the centre upon which were set rolling balls which evolved power by their increased in-creased distance from the centre and were regulated by a pendulum Although he was advised that perpetual per-petual motion fiends had been juggling with that same problem from time immemorial im-memorial no man can convince Rath key discoverer that he Is not the original and only AT PARK CITY Scarlet Fever Cases Personal and General Notes Park City June 6A 4yearold son I or Mr ana Mrs James vjorngan was taken sick with

two boys then returned re-turned to camp having the buckague badly but soon recovered the steadiness steadi-ness of their nerves The next morning Victor Peterson another ofScorups herders being told of the excitement armed himself with a revolver and a Winchester and boasting that hewould kU the bear before night calling five dogs Including includ-ing the staghound started boldly on the bears trail After going a half a mile he ran onto an object in a bunch of timber which he took to be the bear firing one shot and then beating a retreat re-treat to camp swearing he had seen the bear and
