CITY LOTS AND TUOLBI.E. This town and its near neighbor Alta are growing very rapidly, and us lots become valuable signs are visible that they will not escape the disgraceful personal difficulties which scetn to be insepcrable from the building of towns in new and rich mining camps because 1 of disputes as to the title to lots. A 1 lew day ago 1 saw several pistols flourished and one fired off, harmlessly by luck, in consequence of a dispute about city real estate. A volley of -i epithets and expletives, exhausting the vocabulary of vulgaiiiy and abuse, accompanied ac-companied this demonstration. This first escapade terminated without i serious damage, but it indicated a I deeper feeling of animosity than 1 thought existed here with reference to the proprietorship of the site of these towns and of particular lots, and I , would not bo supprised if this feeling yet culminates in bloodshed. i THE EMMA IMBROGLIO Is just now the leading euhjeot of conversation con-versation hereabouts. Within a day or two various of the parties in interest, inter-est, lawyers, witnesses and attaches these last constitute an important and well understood element in the conduct con-duct of a large mining suit have been bobbing around; engineers are fixing, by actual survey, the ex ict locality of all tho old claims and landmarks on the bill, and a score of old residenters are here to point out each of these landmarks. When tho survey is finished fin-ished it will be accurately mapped, by which time it is expected that our present judiciary will have gone glimmering, glim-mering, and a new set appointed in place of them. Some persons express themselves astounded at the maneuvering maneuver-ing already having occurred with reference refer-ence to this Emma muddle; but what has occurred is a vague prologue to a high old play which is to follow. ' THE UTAH MINING AND TUNNELING 00. Are pushing their tunnel ahead Tery 1 rapidly, and the indications for an early aud rich strike are very favorable, as the company's cround lies directly in tho line of the Utah Comstock and ' between paying mines. The tunnel is now in sixty-four feet, a result which has been attained in the short time the company have been operating by working work-ing three shifts of hands in twen'y-foux twen'y-foux hours, The work upon the tunnel tun-nel is belter and more economically l done than any similar work I have 1 seen in my peregrinations through the ; mines. It looks like mining, and ) ought to and I be'ieve will result in F success. j MISCELLANEOUS. The snow has disappeared from the I south mountain slopes, and water is being packed to the upper mines i The tramway to the Savage mine will i soon be finished. It is a private en-J en-J terprise, built by the owners of tho r patent. A greatly reduced freight toll , will be charged for transportation up . and down. tome good mmes belong- iny to Goodspeed, Henry and other.-j other.-j are being worked at Snake creek, on i the American F irk aide An im 'i promptu vigilance committee a few (lnys ago at American Fork notified d three desperadoes to leave within one e hour, under pain of pulliog hemp. ii They left.
