Salt Lake Daily Tribune and Utah Mining Gazette (Newspaper) - December 27, 1871, Salt Lake City, Utah ait Sake Co DAILY a free independent newspaper is net the organ of any person party or sect but io the interests of the Territory and Trill maintain the supremacy of the laws DEC 27 1871 THE STATE The with naivete tells us that there is one thing that ought to be done this very Winter and that is to admit Utah as a State into the This ought to have done years ago It is a long delayed act of merited justice not to say a word of generosity or Thia is well as far as it goes but the Church party never sees any aide but their own and in this they are lite some of the extremists on the op position It is time that all parties con cerned should learn that the course and direction of Utah affairs belong not merely to one division of her citizens no matter how large or small that divis ion might be but to every division and to all collectively The Gentiles who in time will doubtless become the equal of the Mormons in numbers must to be just consider the interests of the old settlers and heartily accord to them their rights indeed must help to main tain them On the other hand the Mormons amsi be willing to consult the interests of all parties of their Church and to ask them what is also their will and purpose concerning Utah Until this the case there will be juet reason found why she should not be admitted into the Union crowned with the dignity of Statehood But all ers Mormons themselves ex cept a few apostate Gentiles are entirely left out of the consideration and this the editor of the Juries shows every time he writes on this subject Utah still belongs exclusively to the Saints they alone have a right in shaping its affairs and a voice in pronouncing upon its issues Thus it stands in this edi tors mind and evening as usual having marked this exclusive Mormon right to possess Utah he enumerated their virtues and shows why become a State Now we again most emphatically insist upon the policy of not admitting Utah to Statehood until all parties can be rep resented in it and their interests se cured their fite and affairs in their own hands and not in the hands of Brigham Young and his priestly orders which are ramified throughout the Territory embracing both sexes even to the youth Utah must be redeemed from priestly rule and before it will be safe to admit her to State independency Abstractly we are as ranch for this consummation as the church withstanding their charges that cru saders and the opposition press of Utah are moved to their counter course and action by a spirit The Mormons want their rights and guar antees but the THE SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU The value of the Signal Service Bu reau has recently been very clearly demonstrated in California where the storm predictions issued by the Cen tral Bureau in Washington have proved correct in every instance The tion of the great storm on the Pacific coast which was telegraphed from the War Department was fulfilled to the letter as our late reports from Califor nia Oregon and Nevada show A sec ond storm foretold by the observer in San Francisco although not on was experienced a day or two later and its arrival indicated the correctness of the deductions of the local weather re porter which were questioned and even ridiculed by the wiseacres of the Cali fornia press The poor observer was overhauled and denounced in ured terms by the San Francisco press for daring to express the opinion founded on careful observation of the indications of his instruments and his knowledge of the well settled laws of storms that the coast was again to be visited by a heavy storm of rain and wind But before the papers had fairly been read the storm began and on Sat evening in Sacramento the wind blew a fierce gale and rain fell in incessantly and the weather was more severe and terrifying than during the previous storm which did so damage Since the last proof of the correctness of the general predictions of the weather observer has been vouchsafed to the Californians that personage has become an object of admiration if not of worship He is greater in the eyes of the nation than the ancient the oracles of old who indulged in predictions couched in language so ambiguous that they never failed to come true pne way or another Gen Myers is more explicit and clear and is also more correct in his and we shall probably pec less fun made of his predictions since the last proof of his powers of generalization in weather reports from all parts of the Union alluding to this subject we may mention that the extraordinarily stormy weather has piled up fresh ob to the successful working of the tion should have theirs also More Union Pacific Railroad The snow blockade is more serious

surveyed and legally established places all mines located on the north side of Dry canyon and above Porcupine Gap in Rush Valley mining and not in Ophir district Therefore Resolved That all miners and owners of mining locations on tho north side o Dry Canyon and above the place as Porcupine Gap are properly and le gaily jn Rush Galley mining district and all such be invited aud allowed to participate in the proceedings of this meeting either in person or By prozi presented H 8 Jacobs reported a survey of the line on the northern boundary of Ophir and southern boundary of Rush districts as recently surveyed and mark ed by the Recorder of this district in with a department States Surveyor and with transit in On motion the following and resolutions were unanimously adopted WHEREAS The northern boundary line of Ophir mining district in bylaws adopted August 6 1870 de ciares that the said northern boundary should run due east from a point on the western boundary line of West Moun known as Red Bluffs and said line as surveyed by and the ion of the Recorder of Rush Valley min ing district actually cuts across Dry Canyon below the point known as Sif ver Gap and next the point known as Porcupine That this meeting of min ers of Rush Valley mining district de clare that the dividing boundary on the north of mining district is and should be proper ly established on an east and west line running between said Silver Gap anc said Porcupine Gap as run and marked by the recorder of this district and thai all miners and persons interested in mining locations situated north of said line belong to Rush Valley mining dis On motion of John Frank the re corder of this district was requested to obtain from the recorder of Ophir min district transfers of all notices of mining locations made in Ophir records of mines north of line as reported and established at this meeting On motion of E J Butler the fol lowing preamble and resolutions after a free and full discussion were adopted Jumping or relocating mines as sometimes done for the pur pose of getting up controversies on old doubtful and pretended prior claims or for driving a bargain and levying black mail on recent purchasers or for hold ing possession and intimidation only so long as jumper may work the mine profitably or opportunity to sell out may offer are practices highly injurious and should be everywhere de and discouraged Whenever an honest dispute or con about mining locations or working mining claims arises a resort to injunctions fostering vexatious lawsuits is detrimental to the entire dis retarding development of the lor hindering or keeping away capi tal from investment and in the end generally enriches lawyers and court officers at the expense and sometimes at the ruin of parties litigant and should be deprecated and avoided Therefore That in discovering locating and holding mining claims we will mu tually maintain require on the part of every person i strict compliance with the pining laws of the district to be carried out in good faith and honest in tent That an habitual jumper oi mining claims we hold in contempt and we equally denounce the practice of set ting up old and defunct pre tended prior claims long after new and genuine discoveries and actual develop ments have demonstrated the value of mines and against all such we pledge to each other our united opposition anJ warfare that in ease of an honest difference as to priority of claims or genuineness of vein or lode ive advise and recommend a submission of matters in controversy to an arbitration or com selected from miners in the dis or mutual agreement on n mise believing that if any mine is worth going to law about it will pay far more to claimants holding honest rights o adjust the controversy in good faith and work the mine without going to law It was moved and carried that a com of three the recorder one be appointed to present the proceed ings ot this meeting to the recorder of Ophir district and to request a confer ence and concurrence on the part o said district in making and establishing the line between the two districts S B McCall E J and J C Reynolds were appointed
