BIG GOLD STRIKE IN GARFIELD COUNTY A wonderful showing of placer gold wai recently discovered In Garfield county on the east slope of the Henry mountains and about eighteen miles from the Colorado river. A large tract of this land was located and a company known as the Crescent Placer Mining company formed to develop the property. This company was recently incorporated under, the laws of this state and permitted by the state securities commission to sell stock for the purpose of raising: fund with which to install machinery necessary to work the property on an extensive scale. Heber Leonard, one of the directors and an old resfient of that section, who, by the Way, Is one of the lo-cators of the property and had worked it in a crude way for a time prior to the organization of the com-pany, came to Bingham some weeks ago for the purpose of Interesting local capital in his enterprise and ae- - cordingly a number of mining men were fascinated with Mr. Leonard'! representation to the extent that a number of them went down in the country last week to see for them selves. In fact, there were a num-ber from different parts of the state who went down at the solicitation of the company to make investigations, among the party being Warren Myers, engineer of Salt Lake. City; Wm. Nidman and George N. Doren-so- n, Mendon; Edward Edward,. L-a-gan; Jos. Blix, Gunnison; Georga Caldwell, Walter Christensen and. Tad. Burns, Bingham Canyon. ... The Bingham men have just . re-turned from their visit to the prop-erty and express themselves aa be . tng highly elated with ' what they found. One of the gentlemen- - r-e- . ported to the news that he warn'' only highly enthused overthe poas-f-bilities of the concern but said ,Mr. Leonard had been very conservative-".- ' in his representation of his offering. to the public. The new company plans to be in operation soon. Work is progressing rapidly on machinery which is being purchased in Salt Lake City and a 10-in- ch pipe line is being constructed at the workings to be used in hy-- . draulic operation. U. S. Mining Co. Suffers Fire Loss Members of the local fire depart-ment worked up a fine appetite for breakfast Monday morning at about 6 o'clock when an alarm summoned them clear to the top of the hill at the old workings of the U. S. Mining company where this company owns a number of apartments and resi-dences which are occupied mostly by employes. The distance is about four miles from the fire station and the road is so steep in places the boys were doubtful as to their ability to scale the heights with their automo-tive equipment. They made the trij however, but not until three apart-ments were practically destroyed. The firemen were not long in check-ing the flames when they got on the job. Most of the splendid results be-ing obtained from use of their chem-ical engine. It was necessary to re-fill the tank and about 100 gallons of chemical fluid was used. It is estimated that about $6,000 loss was sustained. The occupants of the burned apartments, G. T. Targo, Roy McPeak and Neal Fresh, with their families, escape! without in-jury but lost most of their household effects. It is thought that the fire originated from defective wiring but this is not certain.

Favorable ' weather conditions with the stren uous and effective efforts of efficient fire fighters, backed up with excel-lent equipment, was all that prevent-ed this very thing from happening. ' Fire broke out in an upstairs room of the Dahlstrom boarding house, a veritable fire trap adjoining the big Catholic church, a wooden structure and immediately in the heart of a big community of wooden buildings. Fortunately there was little or no wind frpm down the canyon and the , firemen were on the job promptly as usual. Boys from the Utah Copper and the Utah-Ape- x mining com-panies lost no time coming to the rescue and the Salt Lake county vol-unteer fire department reached the spot, just forty two minutes after re-ceiving summons, with their chemical car, the regular equipment following a few minutes later. The fire had gained good headway before the firemen got on the job. The entire upper rooms being gutted and the flames reaching to the roof of the Catholic church. Heavy streams were plied to both buildings and with-in thirty to forty minutes were un-der control with little damage to the church building and the boarding house partly saved. The firemen are I entitled to great credit for efficiency ' and strenuous work performed in be- - i half of the public and the city offic- - I ials are to be commended for their I wise judgment in procuring adequate t firefighting apparatus. It proved of v inestimable value at this fire. ' The total loss is estimated to be , in theneighborhood of $8,000. The ! . building was valued at 110,000 and i - was covered by insurance. The furn- - ; iture was uninsured. There were 12 ; ' rooms upstairs and 5 down. It was rebuilt after the fire in 1906. Fire started in the 3rd story and is thought to have originated from a lighted cigaret stub. UTAH VS. ERROR; FIRST DEGREE MURDER The preliminary hearing of Mike Error, charged with the murder of Pete Miller at Highland Boy on the evening of August 31, began in Judge Dudley's court here at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Attorney D. A. King appearing in behalf of the defendant and Ray Christensen of the county attorney's office prose-cuting. The prosecution's contention was that Error is guilty of first degree murder. According to reports, Pete Miller and wife, Mike Error and Steve Raddich were on their way home from a party when Miller took Error to task Tor placing his arm around the waist of Mrs. Miller as they walked along the road. Error re-sented the objection, it seems, and a fight with rocks and clubs ensued. Error is reported to have knocked Miller down with a club and then to have pounced on him with a knife or other sharp-pointe- d instrument in-flicting a dozen or so ugly wounds from which he died twenty-tw- o hours later.
