who was charged with swindling in issuing a bogus order on mr pomeroy and giving it to his landlord in payment for his board and lodging bill was decided this morning the decision being that lie he pay a fine of 15 and settle his board bill the of dolman prevents him from paying the fine in greenbacks green backs though be can work it lutat out at a dollar a day on the tile public works but how

pioche and surrounding districts are supplied from the mine and a large number of the tile people use it fer far fuel there is little or no room to doubt that iron county is na naturally aurally the richest parl pare of utah its resources in r ome come directions being apparently inexhaustible there them are immense deposits of or as good iron ore as exists in any part of the world in the mountains to the east and in the mountains to the west inexhaustible coal mines with but a narrow valley vailey intervene lug ing it needs but railroad communication and the invest investment of capital to open up and develop those great resources tho the pioneer work of development has been already commenced and even prosecuted to a considerable extent under circumstances cum stances that would have discouraged boum cou raged ed less intrepid and enterprising men it will not only be a better day for iron county when the railroad is completed to that point and when the resources there begin to be extensively utilized and developed but the benefit will extend to aped t the ae whole of utah if not to the entire western country every mile of extension made in the utah southern herp road brings the people nearer the realization of that desirable state of things and if the people in the counties southward from utah county manifest the same degree of public spirit energy alacrity faith and gaoa good works as the latter haxe have done done should the railroad question guestion be blought brought before them in the same wayla may be considered but a matter of a little time A du
