There is. scarcely a doubt but that
during the coming week orders wil]
-bo received from the Hast to recom—

‘ Sneath and Clay quartz mine, Gold

New York for the purpose of work. ing this and other properties in Ne~vada district experienced no trouble

will be necessary to put new timbers

Through Death Valley” will be produced in this city. The plotis based
upon incidents immediately pre‘. eeding the Mountain Meadow nmiasgacte. A train of emigrants is coming to California, in the early days,
with ox-teams, over the plaitis.
When near Salt Lake City, Mormon emmissaries get among the people of the train and endeavor to per~
suade them to remain in Utah and
become ‘‘Saints.” This treates a
a division among the emigrants,
which, however, is. healed by the
strenuous exertions of ‘‘Bety Eldon,”
‘astrong-minded woman, who is
backed ia her work in that direction
by ‘Johp Henry,”. an excentric emigrant ‘with an opinion.” .A young
scout, named ‘Jack Croft,” who has
been with the train since it struck
the Rockies, assists Betty and John
and also conducts to the train a
young girl, Fonda,” who ‘had been
kidnaped by a Mormon Elder, ' who
proposed to add her to his numerous
wives. «In revenge of this,.and to
destroy the train, ‘because its people
would not join “The Chureh,” this

the same villainous Elder, with one
of his men, became guides to the
train, and instead of showing it the
best way.to reach California, led it
into ‘‘Death Valley,” an arid plain,
where all are about to perish, the
Elder and his henchman having . esleaped, taking ‘‘Wouda” with. them.
In this, however, they afe again

The Chinese Will Go.
T. D. Riordan, Esq., of San Francisco, who is now here looking after
the interests of the Chinamen that
desire to rebuild their cabs in the
burnt district, held a consultation
with the Committee of Eleven on
Thursday evening. It was announced at the meeting that the Chinese
preferred remaining im the old quarters, but that if. so desired ‘by the
Trustees and citizens they will, remove to a more remote neighborhood
providing a suitable location can be
found. The Chinese themselves will
pay the rent of whatever property
they determine to settle on. It is
pretty certain that the whole matter
will be satisfactorily settled during
the coming week. As soon as the
final arranyements have been made
by the Committee of Eleven, the
Chairman will call a mass meeting at
the Theatre and inform the public
as to the full facts in the case.
