'Horse thieves captured The Record readers will remember that some two weeks ago . Ralph Kenyon purchased two . horses from a stranger and that they were soon reclaimed by Ike Hunter the Thad Brin of Woodland. The Brin horse was a nice animal and valued at $75 or $80, and the fact that it was sold so cheap made Sheriff Harrington suspicious and he kept a close watch on developments. As soon as Brin showed up the . Sheriff went after him and got him to swear out a warrant for James Marsh and William Gibson, they being (he men who stole the A animals and sold them to Kenyon ( for $17. He went to Salt Lake and ' soon located his men at Grantsville, but on arriving there he found that they had been posted by friends , and had slipped away. He returned to Salt Lake and after some hard and judicious work again located his birds at American Fork, whither he went, arriving at his destination about four o'clock in the morning. Getting the assistance of local officers and by the use of a little stratagem succeeded in bagging both men without anybody getting hurt. He arrived in Park City Sunday morning and took his prisoners to Woodland, where James Marsh was given a hearing before Justice Smith and bound ' over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of $ 1 ,000, brought to Park City and pined in , jail. Hunter refused to appear against Gibson and he was discharged. The Golden Age Speaking of the Golden Age, the Mining Journal says: "The past, when viewed through the long vistas of years, becomes bright with the glamour of time time that lends dignity to an unsightly mound and luxuriance to a dung hill.

After all, we suspect it is only gilt that glistens through the avenues of time. There never was a gold age in the actual past in either a moral, material or mineral sense. From a mineral point of view the present age is comparatively more golden than any which has preceded it. Today it is either gold or nothing. Silver pales with shame at the price to which it has fallen; copper loses its raddy hue when it remembers it used to be four times its present value; lead is heavy and depressed with it own weight, and with the fact that to miners it is an unprofitable commodity; even tin shines with diminished luster when it recalls the old prices paid per ton for its silvery-looking ingots; and iron, influenced by the inactivity of its markets, joins in the metallic gloom and wears a look of chronic rustiness. In short, 'gold is on the boom.' This is the age of gold, and every legitimate effort to increase the world's store of the bright yellow metal should be encouraged. Commerce craves for more gold; men of all nations and creeds hunger and thirst for it. Leather circles have ceased to be counters for value; cowrie shells are obsolete as currency except in benighted lands; copper is no longer legal tender, and 'Gold, Gold and more Gold is the universal cry. We live in the Golden Age. " Territorial news The residence of John Toponce, of Corinne, was struck by lightning during the big storm of last week. It caught fire and, with its entire contents, was destroyed. The family was absent on a visit at the time. Enoch Davis, the wife murderer, will not be shot to death at Provo, but at some point in Utah County yet to be selected.

None but officials, a physician and a couple of ministers will be allowed to witness the execution. One of the colored men who are working for Milner and Bothwell, went up to the geyser leaching plant Tuesday evening, and was just in the act of taking a drink of the cyanide solution when he was seen and warned by one of the boys working there. It is not probable that the drink would have proven fatal, but it is not by any means a healthy beverage. Mercur Mercury 50 Years Ago Three fire calls Last Thursday evening the fire alarm sent the "fire laddies' hurrying to upper Woodside Avenue where two vacant homes were on fire. The houses belonged to George Williams and Mrs. Charles Snow, and were ruined before the fire was brought under control. The loss is reported by Fire Chief Berry to be around $1,500, and the cause of the fire is undetermined. At 8:30 p.m. Saturday a fire at the home of John Perez, just north of the two houses destroyed by fire Thursday evening, caused considerable damage to the home and furnishings. Fire Chief Berry states the cause of this fire is undetermined and the loss cannot be ascertained until the insurance adjuster has submitted his report. The third fire was Saturday afternoon, and was at the home of Mrs. William Harding on Marsac Avenue. The fire chief reports it was "a chimney fire" and was extinguished before any material damage resulted. War proves need of metal stockpiles It has been widely urged that a government stockpile of copper as well as of other essential war materials be created to serve the double purpose of avoiding economic distress in the mining districts and of placing the nation in a position of preparedness to meet any future military OLE! emergency, says a writer in Mining Congress Journal. Whatever weakness, if any, can be found in this proposal from a purely economic viewpoint, the bitter truth of our unpreparedness at the beginning of this war is, regardless of any other consideration, ample reason why it should be carried out. The plain undeniable truth is that this country took most dangerous chances after World War I in failing to maintain adequate stocks of essential metals and minerals. A second failure of this nature would be nothing short of stupidity. We have apparently "come through" finally with a sufficient copper, zinc, lead, manganese, chrome, tungsten, etc., to meet our requirements for this war, but our having done so has been a matter of good fortune rather than foresight Congress has under consideration the matter of determining a definite policy and formula covering disposal of surplus government property, including materials. Certainly the definition of .the term "surplus" in this connection involves a determination of the nations's requirements for preparedness to meet any future emergency. Preparedness calls for the creation and maintenance of adequate stockpiles of essential war materials. It seems to follow logically therefore, that the necessary legislation that must soon be decided to handle the problem of disposal of war surpluses cannot be separated from legislation covering stockpiling. The adequacy of the stockpiles will, to a large extent, be a measure of the nation's future safety. Denver Mining Record. 25 Years Ago To all who assisted in Labor Day Celebration Now that Labor Day is past, I would like to extend some well deserved credit and thanks, to the persons and organizations who pulled together to make the holiday a success.

To two great gals Rita Smith and Susie Williams went the job of calling on all the local businesses for their financial help. Gib Martinez and Rene not only handled the races and games at the ball park, but Gib spent many hours collecting donations from the local residents. Bea Kummer, in addition to her many other civic jobs, took the responsibility of planning the bazaar and entertainment on Main Street. The mining contest success was handled by Rich Martinez, Mark Jolly and the crew from the mine. To Gib's crew at the ballpark; to those members of the Lions and Kiwanis clubs who made the breakfasts a success; to Gail Boyle and his power company crew; to Ted Smith and Jay Collins and their dynamite; to the City Council and the City Police Department for their help; to Sheriff Ron Robinson and his jeep patrol; to the Chamber of Commerce barbecue chefs; to the Woman's Athenaeum for the flower show; to Connie Andrus for the art exhibit; to the local businesses for their financial help; to Don Putman and his baseball boys; to the Silver Palace for their parking lot; to Herb Armstrong for his hay rack; to the many entertainers who performed for us; to the participants in the parade; and to the many hundreds of eager hands and strong backs who helped; to all of you my sincerest thanks. And a special thank you to the individuals who took floats and decorated cars to other parades in other towns in our area. It is because of this that we receive many additional entries in the parade. Now that this Labor Day is history, I would like to comment on the response that I had when I asked for help. Everyone I contacted and asked, responded and did their job well. It is because of this that the whole weekend went off so well.

In closing I have saved one last thank you for Niles Andrus and United Park City Mines Company, both the mining division and the recreation division who gave and did much more than their usual obligation toward the celebration. And if I failed to mention an organization or name, please forgive me, there have been so many. Thanks to everyone. Dave Novelle 1 0 Years Ago Tour will focus on history Next Friday, Sept. 21, members of the Utah Heritage Foundation will be on hand to recognize preservation efforts in Park City. A tour of new and historic buildings is planned by local foundation board members Abby Whitney and Bill Ligety. 'The tour will begin at 5:30 p.m.," said Whitney. "We'll start at the City Hall building, one of the two buildings which will receive awards from the foundation this month. There maps will be distributed and refreshments will be served. We'll then move up to the Masonic Building, the other foundation recipient, for an explanation of the restoration work done there. "After that, guests can go on a self-guided tour to both the Blue Church Lodge and the new Main Street Marketplace Mall." The event is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by a number of Park City real estate interests who will see part of their donations used to establish a preservation education program at local schools. Ligety added that the Utah Heritage Foundation would submit both the City Hall and Masonic buildings for national recognition. It was this same group that drew the attention of the National Trust for Historic Preservation to the restored Miners Hospital, which last year won an award. The library was the only recipient of such an award west of the Mississippi. cuisine n PRICE COUPON 1 j j5l. n i iVi Upon arrival present this coupon to your waitress-Buy waitress-Buy one dessert at regular price & receive the 2nd dessert for 12 off.
