Jadge Goodwin, editor of the Salt
Laka Tribune, is the untiring advocate
of a railroad from Salt Lake City west
ward through Narada to California. Ia
a recant iaarte of bis paper Mr, Goodwin
my a:
Colon? Gou made a preliminary iar
vey of a read lost winter, starting from
Milford and going through to beyond the
Sierras on the southern route. Ha re
ports the route practicable and the grad
mg osbj', though io places it would run
up to over two par cent, grade. Ha was
aitfjnishd at the mineral resources of
the wssiry; says thera are indications of
rick mines all the way, and he found
three or four quartz mills abandoned on
rich mines for want of fuel to run them,
At oiKi jj(aco (they reported that the last
wood tlrn-y bought cost $34 per cord.
Hi thinks the road should be extended
from MiliVrd, with a branch to the Cedar
City coal measures, and that another
road bbould be run west and southwest
from this city to tap the mining district
which would lio directly in the path of
the rofid. Where they should connect
and jjo un, thence to the coast, would
depend upon mora oarefnl surveys and a
more thorough calculation of the work
which would be supplied tbe roads.
There is, however, no doubt about the
immense possibilities of the country u a
mining region. There Is one load sixty
miles west and sixty miles south of
Pioche that forty foot wide, aud ex
perts have told us the whole mass would
yield from twenty-Eve to sixty per cent
lead and thirty ounces of silver. Col.
Uow estimate the cost of a standard
gauge road for two or three hundred
miles west of here at about $1,000 per
mile for grading, $6,000 for rails, $3,000
for ties, bolts, etc., and $3,000 for roll
ing stock. (We are copying the Colonel
without authority. It was a passing
conversation, but as it was not told in
confidence, and as it was not meant to be
official, we do not imagine that he will
care.) This would make 700 miles cost
$9,000,000. Fifteen per cent on that
sum would be $1,350,000, or about $4,
600 per day. One thousand tons of ore
at $4.50 per ton freight would pay the
amount, would pay eight per cent, for
Working expense and repairs, and seven
per cent, on the investment. That
amount of road ought to secure 1000 tons
daily at $6, it ought to carry back 200
tons of coal besides any amount of ma
chinery, bullion, merchandise, mails ex
press and passengers; enough to easily
raise the fifteen per eent. to thirty. If
tbia city or the men of this city would
take the matter in hand, Salt Lake
would be the center of trade of all that
region. If some other company builds
it, Denver or Omaha or Saa Francisco
will receive the benefits; Salt Lake will
be way station where maybe some 200
extra men will be employed on account
of the road.
A Buffalo newspaper tells of a young
man, the usual "well known young so
ciety man," of course, who wrote to a
pretty girl in the east whom be had met
nd admired, asking her is the course of
the letter a good many questions. She
answered promptly, not the questions1,
-but tbe letter, and asked some questions
on her own hook, suoh as these: "What
kind of tooth powder do yon uset Who
gave yoo this name? Do worms think!
What do you think of the pre-Adamitist
theory? Are the Jews going to return to
Russia? If you are discovered, are you

A youngster of the mature age of 10,
captain of the Boomer club, a baseball
nine in an adjoining city, recently re.
eived a challenge from a rival club to
play; which be accepted. Before the
game took place, howevor, he prepared
two reports for the local papers, either
one of which could b used as occasion
demanded. One set forth in glowing
terms a victorious result for the nine,
The other merely left a apace for his
core, with this oonolnding comment
"The game was lost to tbe boomers
through bad umpiring," . This was

Mibe Mnrphy and Harry Jackson are
prospecting a mine up New York Can
yon. They have been at work for some
time. In the beginning thry used to
"hoof it" up in the morning and back in
the evening, the distance being about
two miles. This finally grew monoto
nous, and they provided themselves with
a horse and buggy. They are now to be
seen taking their daily ride to and from
the mine. As ainers they munt be
bangers, for it only requires them about
six hours to get in a fall day's work
They go up at about 9 in tbe morning
and return at 4 in the evening. Posnibly
their sympathy for the horse may have
something to do with it. They don't
care to keep him out all day. When
they strike it in their mine they will no
doubt secure Roman chariot to convey
them to their work. The name of the
mine is "The Perpetual Perapiration,"
The rumor that they have worn out three
grosses of kid gloves in striking the drill
is regarded as a gross slander in well
informed mining circles. Eureka Sen
tinel. 4, Tbe excessive charges of the C. P.
monopoly for hauling necessaries of life
to the people of Nevada is what keeps
this State from thriving. All the talk
of journalistic enthusiasts about "boom
ing Nevada" will be thrown away until
this powerful corporation which aeems
to be experiencing a few of the prelimi
nary pangs of remorse, through the toast
ing it has had on the Railroad Commis
sion gridiron condescends to take its
hoof from the neck of the State and give
it a freight tariff which will enable it -to
lie and prosper. V a. Chronicle.

Geo. Lewis, who a faw days since
killed Piocoli at Bullion, has been in

Jury. This is quick work all around.
But the Grand Jury happened to be in

at once. The coroner's jury also de
clared him guilty of murder. Hia trial
ia set for the 26th of this month. Dor

defend him. Eureka Sentinel.

He was immediately locked up in the
county jail. He has been in hiding

West Green leaf, Mich., has a sensation
in the presenoe of several bears in the
woods near by, and In this connection
comes the funny experience of one of' the
residents of tho neighborhood recently.
He was passing through a stretch of
timber, when ha discovered two bears
devouring a pig. The bears also dis
covered him, and, whatever their notion
may have been, both came headlong in
his direction. He climbed ft tree, which
was too small fc-r tho bear's grasp, but
they hung a round the neighborhood for
five hours, white the man who had been
to school and could read and write and
make a speech atid vote, remained aloft
because ho was afraid to eomo down.

"Do yon hear that!" said a young lady
to a feroenine companion, aa a faint
squeak, like a rusty hinge, emanated
from her drapery; "that's the last new
tiling in bustle an inflated rubber ar
rangement that will never go out with
mc again if I live to get home with it."
They were at a theater, and every
time she stirred the movement was ac
companied by unearthly breathings and
festive snorts made by the inflated
bnstlc. The companion ami led, and her
friend turned on her iudignantly. As
she did bo the patent bustle emitted
something like a smothered scream. It
seemed as if she couldn't move ber hand
but that dreadful bustle responded with
some sort of noise, as though her ribs
wore cracking or her lungs were wrong.
"Shall I take a hat pin and prick it?" ,
asked the other. "You w ill .lose your !
figure, to be sure, but anything ia better j
than this trouble."
"Oh, do," whispered she, and the
bustle wailed like an aaolian harp.
The friend removed her hat pin and
plunged it in up to its j it head. As she
drew it out there followed ft shrill
whistle. Perhaps tho scene shifter
heard it in the wings and thought it wan
tbe prompter's call. Anyhow, they ran
on ft pair of flats painted to represent a
garden scene, aud the actress, who was
just Hinging herself on a sofa in the elegant
boudoir, looked with horror on a foun
tain that seemed to be playing on a

A comparatively new class of music !b
likely to be heard a great deal of in Chi
cago before uny of us are many days
older. Thia is nothing more nor less
than whistling. At the first reading,
with one's mind full of the recollections
of the whistling fiend of the street-car,
sidewalk and office, the statement may
appear little far-fetched. But until
one has heard a really accomplished
whistler, like several young people I
know, whistle pretty and intricate music
to an artistio piano accompaniment, and
with ft faultless regard for time, shading,
etc., he can have no idea of the beauty
of the accomplishment. Tbe ordinary
human whistle, like the ordinary human
voice, is rough and discordant, and
grates harshly enough on a cultivated
ear but such performance I hawe had
recently the pleasure of listening to con
vince me that the really talented butler
has an object an a future. A notice that
I saw recently in a New York society
paper of a young woman whose husoaud
collapsed suddenly from wealth to pe
nury, and who is now helping him by
earning $25 a night by whistling at pri
vate entertainments, lends color to my
view. Tbe really good whistler, once
heard, becomes so popular that I fancy a
school for instruction in scientific whist
ling would find a ready road to prosper

Stenographer' Convention at Alexander

of over 250 words per minute. ' For two
years there haa bsen a controversy be
tween eastern and western stenographers
relative to maximum speed in accurate
court reporting. Fred. J. Ireland, of
Detroit, claiming that there were steno
graphers in Detroit and Chicago who
oould report 250 words a minute for
several consecutive minutes if occasion,
arose. A. P. Little, of Rochester, bet

man living. Mr. Dement causually
dropped io an remarked that Mr. Little
might select his piece and he (Dement)
would do the writing. Mr. Dement
there and then wrote 122 words in five
minutes, reading tin notes back ac
curately to the committee. President
Dick in sod, of New York, said he didn't
dream such speed was possible, and
handed over the laurels to Chicago and
