H. H. Cole Reports Rich
Copper and Gold Ore
Near Victor—Best
Prospects He
Has Seen
in Years.
Mr. H. H. Cole, a mining expert of
many years experience all over the coun
try, who is investigating the mineral
resources of Fremont county, came
down from Victor Tuesday. He is very
well pleased and deeply surprised over
the results of his investigation, notwith
standing the deep snow which still lies
in the canyons.
In an interview, Mr. Cole said: "I
have made as thorough an investigation
as is possible owing to the deep snow
and can conscientiously say that what I
have seen, since I left St. Anthony for
Victor about three weeks ago, beats
anything that has come under my ob
servation in thirty years mining experi
ence, for the amount of work done, and
Isay this without attempting to exag
gerate." Continuing, Mr. Cole said that
copper was the backbone of the camp.
"I have mined from Alaska to Mexico
and have been in every strike in the
west for years, and I never saw in all
my experience a more true formation.
There are big veins of copper bearing
gold bedded in the granite which con
tinues around the mountain side for
several miles."
Mr. Cole says he will make a further
report as soon as the ground is bare, and
he is satisfied now from the appearance
of the ore which is copper chloride, that
there is no limit to the valuation of
these prospects if the values develop
with depth.
Mr. Cole visited the Teton BaHin and
Victor district in 1878 and has kept a
close tab on this section, visiting it sev
eral times since. He is confident of the
existence of oil in the Basin, and says
he knows personally of two places where
crude petroleum oozes out through the
shale but he thinks the oil is at a great
depth.
While at Victor Mr. Cole made the ac
quaintance of a number of prominent
personages including Hon. Fred Davis,
L. C. Moody and Mr. F. S. Hunt, geo
logists and minerologists, who are there
investigating in the interest of capital
ists. Mr. Colo returned to Victor
yesterday and will remain until the
snow is off, when he will make further
reports,
Death of Thomas Davis.
Twin Groves, Ida., March 23.—Thos.
Davis succumbed to a sudden attack of
heart disease oil March 17, about mid
night. He was born in Shropshire, Eng
land, June 10, 1833, and came to Utah
with ox teams in 18.79: was a pioneer
with his family to settle at WellsviUe,
Cache county, Utah; afterward moved
with his family to Portage, Boxelder
county, Utah, where he resided for 30
years. He was called to fill a mission to
the states, laboring among his many
friends and relatives in the state of
Kansas. He, came to this ward about
two years ago witli his family. Since
we have known him he lived as a con
sistent Latter-day Saint. Ho was a sin
cere, kiiul-hearted husband and father,
and leaves a wife, four sons and two
daughters and 11 grandchildren to cher
ish his memory. Elder Ernest Bram
well preached his funeral discourse in
the meetinghouse, March 20, and ap
propriate remarks were also made by
Bishop James J. Wellard.—Deseret

Teton Basin Toots.
It seems that spring is getting here for
ail of tlio juggling that our weatherman
lias been doing with the elements and
the predictions that the snow would not
go off till June.
Hay is getting scarce and some are
looking for seed grain.
The Basin seems to he in the grip of
LaGrippe. It is a kind of a fad to have
tlie LaGrippe these days.
The material is being put on the
ground for the derrick preparatory to
starting to bore for oil. The coal beds
are all getting to lie considered worth
looking after, as there have hern several
experts in here for that purpose.
There are a great many prospectors
coming to Victor to look after the talc
lieds and they pronounce them all right,
so the Basin will have the greatest
boom this summer in the history of
Idaho.
Another thing we are not loosing
sight of, is our horse and cattle range.
There was a mass meeting held at
Haden on Saturday. March 14, for the
purpose of organizing a stock associa
tion to bo known as the The Teton Ba
sin Stock Growers' Association, The
purpose of the association is to improve
our grades of cattle and horses and to
protect the range from the invasion of
sheep and transient herds of cattle
which are driven in here from a dis
tance for tlie summer season only. A
temporary organization was affected at
Haden and tlie meeting was adjourned
to Driggs, which met on Saturday the
21st, when a permanent organization
was effected. Sam Swanner was elected
president; Geo. Watton, vice president;
and Oscar Foot, secretary and treasurer.
The meeting was very largely intended
and much interest manifested. There
are about 2000 head of cattle and horses
represented in tlie association.
Plano.
Sunday, the 29th, was a very sad day
for the people of Plano for they were
all gathered together at the Plano meet
ing house to pay their last respect s to one
of their weil loved friends and neighbors,
Mr. Joseph Brown, who was killed in
Idaho Falls by highway robbers. There
was never such a large funeral held in
Plano before. There were friends from
Ogden, Utah, St. Anthony, Teton City
and in fact from nearly every part of
the county. About 80 teams followed
the remains to the Plano cemetery.
Some of the most eloquent speaking was
rendered. The speakers were Hon.
Judge Donaldson, Senator A. Heath,
John Pincock, Win. Flint and Bishop
Hyrum Lucas. They all spoke very
highly of Mr. Brown as an honest and
upright man. It was a very pitiful
scene to see his loving wife and child
ren sitting around the casket of their
father and husband who left home hut
few days before hale and hearty.
His brother, two sisters and a brother
in-law from Ogden, and a nephew from
LaBelle were in attendance. The
brother-in-law was the husband of the
sister whose funeral Mr. Brown was on
His way to attend when shot. Mr.
Mr. Brown's sons from Canada failed to
attend the funeral although they kept
him a week from the time he was shot.
"Weep not that his toil is over,
Weep not that his race is run;
God grant that we may rest as calmly
When our work, like his, is done.
Till then we yield with gladness
These treasures to him to keep;
And rejoice in the blest assurance,
Though we grieveth, our loved one
sleeps." C. H. W.

The following articles of incorpora
tion were filed with the clerk of the
court during the past week.

Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident, is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows
"I was in an awful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite, growing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had given me
up. Then I was advised to use Electric
Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I con
tinued their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they robbed
the grave of another victim." No one
should fail to try them. Only 50 cents,
guaranteed, at Watson & Moore's drug
store.

The surprise given by the people of
tlie ward on the bishopric Thursday
night, the 50th. was a grand success.
On being brought into the hall to at
tend what he thought was a special
meeting, the bishop was bewildered to
see before him a long table spread with
the luxuries of life and to see all the
people present. Some of the reception
committee marched him nr and the
table while the merry chorus of voices
rang out "surprise, " followed by three
cheers for the bishop. He was then es
corted to thi' stand and seated in a new
chair which ...

Drunkards Classed
With Lunatics.
the}' passed a law in Iowa last year
permitting the confinement of confirmed
drunkards in lunatic asylums. It made
little stir, hut within eight months three
hundred uleoholie patients were under
restraint and treatment. An Iowa dis
patch says that inebriates continue to
itow into the state asylums at the rate
of about fifty a month, and that an Iowa
court has just ruled that their constitu
tional rights are not violated by their
TT' , 8ome of the Inebriates don't
, 0 to bo »hut up, but the treatment
they get seems to be humane and sain
tnry. Their liquor is stopped, and they
have to work on farms, and are encour
aged to improve their habits. When
they seem to be cured they are dis
charged, and report says that so far,
about i5 percent of tlie eases have so
resulted. This seems like excellent
management of drunkards. Men who
cannot or will not, control their thirst
ought not to lie left at large to get them
selves and others into mischief. Neither
should they he sent to jail. If they are
irresponsible because of their propensi
ties. they should lie shut np and looked
after until they are cured, and while
under restraint they should be made to
work for their living. The Iowa meth
od seems a good deal more enlightened
than the New York plan of keeping an
endless chain of dipsomaniacs between
Manhattan and "the Island." An easy
legal method of securing timely periods
ol seclusion for unmanagable drunkards
ought to make for the peace of families
and the diminution of drunkenness.
Men have no moral right to be drunken,
11 they have demonstrated a dangerous
and continuons lack of self-restraint,
some other sort of restraint should be
substituted for it. The Iowa idea seems
pretty sound Harper's Weekly.
A Great Sensation.
There was a big sensation in Lees
ville, lud ., when W. H. Brown of that
place, who was expected to die. had his
life saved by Dr. King's New Discovery

dured insufferable agonies from Asth
ma. lint your New Discovery gave me
immediate relief and soon thereafter
effected a complete cure." Similar
eures of Consumption, Pneumonia,
Bronchitis and Grip are numerous.
