Not long after this a detachment of soldiers was sent to Rush Valley with the horses belonging to the command, the grazing there being excellent while that in the neighborhood of Fort Douglas was poor and getting poorer. Early in the spring of 1864 the men camped on the ground which is now the town of Stockton and was so named os soon as the few civilians had located and put up habitations there. At once the town became the headquarters of the newly inaugurated mining industry. The soldiers themselves having been duly granted permission by Gen. Connor himself, Joined TREA8URE P H0U8E. i . , . The story, of Alta, at the head of Little Cottonwood canyon, is a most novel and interesting one. At this time of the year It presents an Alpine appearance that la not surpassed anywhere In the United States, If Indeed in any other country, including that which contains the Alps themselves. Snow, snow everywhere; not a patch of bare ground visible, only a Jutting ivdge or great boulder here and there, the emblem of purity holding all the other natural features In its immovable grasp until spring la so far advanced that when the white mantle gives way one of green Immediately appears, like a transformation scene In a fairy play. It Is all very beautiful even in its monotony; grand in the midst of much inconvenience, and as elevating to the mind os to the person even though dangers dire lurk within thi crystalline beds. Alta, os a town, had once a considerable population, with a corresponding number of structures for resldece and business. When the writer of these lines first went there, Jn the winter of 1873, he thought thfe place must have been destroyed before he got there. 'A few roofs were visible and smoke drifted upward from a dozen or more mysterious places; but there was an under-worl- d which hod to be penetrated in order to ascertain the extent to which life and livelihood It was as easy th get prevailed. around on the surface of the snow os on any of Salt Lakes streets, especially in their present condition; the snow was so well packdd that but for the absence of the lower part of buildings one could scarcely realise that he was moving around on fifteen or twen-- : ty feet qf snow, the delusion being heightened by the appearance of horses In abundance going along os safely and comfortably as the bipeds.

' Burrowed beneath that surface were from 600 to 1000 people, chiefly men and always busy; thtre1 being all kinds of stores, half a dozen saloons with in the movement hi an active .00 OOOACLO(Jpj33iOOC( JOHN HAWEft Marysvsle,, Utah, Dealer In GENERAL MERCHANDISE.

Now that the ground Is being cleared for the skyscrapers and preparations for the excavation are under way. the most skeptical must surrender to the overwhelming evidence ot reality. The change In this section of the city will recall to memory an item printed some two years ago by .Moody Dow of Montana, who foretold the improvements which today Interests every real Salt Laker, although at: tbat time no one surmised any such movement as was indicate- - by the article. The above Item was inspired by the discovery In the cellar or the uwi Drug store, the eonnarkflejrtil ;iereek'S4ortteY'1SQhrBa jiulrouim; tfcztt - ing a little too strong a prescription for the situation, although the paper was well patronised. The name of the paper was the same as this one The Alta Independent, but here the resemblance ceases, as this one is a stayer. It looked, for a time as if Altai beginning was destined to be its end lng, as well as that of the mining Industry generally hereabouts. The awful scandal growing out of the nefarlous manipulations of the Emma mine, was one wereby our British cousins were fleeced to a finish and the ven - turesome disposition of many men ot capital, whose eyes 'were turned this way, was chilled to a standstill. Some of our best and most prominent men were Inveigled in the proceedings, but they extricated themselves as soon as the situation became fully apparent to them. The bottom of the mine, (a false one, as the sequel has shown), which was plainly in sight when the fraudulent deal was consummated, was reached, the property immediately ceased to be productive, and sympathetically every other property there-abosuffered. It looked for a time like a general collapse, which is another example of jhow short-sighte- d the great bulk of the human family is, especially when dealing with subjects so occult as the hidden wealth of the under world. It is true that the blow hod a numbing effect for a number of years, but you cant keep a good camp, any more than a good man, down; and so, by dint of plodding and pushing, exploring and developing, stimulated by the faith born of experience and backed by American determination, Alta is itself again and a good deal more, too. It is not only a greater producer than before, but the production comes from deposits which are inexhaustible so far as this generation is concerned. It wants now but a railroad to put it in the front rank of the great ore producers of this western country, and this will be had without much more delay. HI8TORY OF 8TOCKTON. 1 x.

The miners on the west side of the Oqulrrh, however, subsequently met and effected a separate organisation known os Rush Valley district, those on the eastern or Bingham side Joining the secession movement about the same time or shortly after. Tullldges History of Utah contain 4 the information that the town organ-atio- n was effected by Gem Connor, Major Gallagher, Johnson and Joseph Clark, the latter acting as surveyor, As on inducement to settlers, all who would build houses theron were given every other lot, except corner ones. About a year, or perhaps a little later, after the founding of the place, the first smelter was erected by Henry Monhelm and EL P. Johnson, and in 1866 a reverberatory furnace was put up by Gen. Connor, and considerable metal was run out. The fortunes ot the town ran down to a pretty low ebb during the period following, this condition being aided by three extensive fires, the last in October, 1886, which destroyed a solid block of buildings. A revival began two years later and from that time on there was steady growth, the subsequent part of the town's history being current EVOLUTION ILLUSTRATED.
