Brigham Young’s Estate.

A PROSPECTIVE WRANGLE OVER THE MAN'S MONEY - UTAH.

DEAD - MINERAL PRODUCT OF

eee

(Prom the N. Y¥. Tribune.)

There is likely to be a wrangle soon, if I am correctly informed, over Brigham Young's estate. All the apostles, except Taylor and the three who are acting as the Prophet’s executors, are understood to be. in favor of a rigid examination of his finan- | cial huggermugger, as Trustee-in-Trust | Brigham, and Brigham the individual, and | also of the restitution to the church of what | he had without consideration transferred from himself, as church trustee, to himself | as Citizen Brigham. At the same'time, Mr. Ellerbeck, for many years his confidential | agent, offers to open a short cut through | the whole maze by pointing out how the| Prophet took from the church by a few en- ormous grabs $2,500,000. One of these was the famous settlement with the church, by which he charged it in a lump $50,000 a year for eighteen years’ service as Prophet, Seer and Revelator, in other words, as ec- clesiastical ‘‘ Boss.” At other times he charged the church and credited himself with items of a hundred thousand dollars or so on account of the poor. No doubt the investigation will be kept as still as ffus- sible, but Brigham Young’s heirs will, of course, resist, and the hated lawyers will have to be called in. Those who are de- feated may be confidently expected to rein- force the corps of apostates and gentiles in the Territory. It will be curious, too, to see the prophets administering the estate of oe chief prophet, by branding him as a thief.

Carefully compiled statistics show the mineral product of Utah for 1877, to have been as follows :—

Silver, 4,359,708 ounces at $1.05, $4,567,681 Lead, 27,500 tons at $60 a ton, 1,650,000 Cold, 17,325 @ances at $20, 346,500

Gold dust, copper and copper ores, 100,000

~~

Total, $6,664,181 The figures for 1876 are as follows :—

Silver, 1,946,915 ounces at $1.10 $2,141,606

Lead, 25,000 tons at $120 a ten, 3,000,000

Gold, 8,820 ounces at $29.67, 182,309 Copper, 657,539 pounds at 20c., 131,517 Total, $5, 455.432

In these tables lead is rated twice as high in 1876 as in 1877. Valued the same, there would be a gain in the product in the latter year of 2,500,090, which is a total of 6,500,- 000, is a large percentage. The increase is chiefly in silver. There are now sixteen smelters and seven quartz mills running, and notwithstanding the low price of lead, comparatively a prosperous season in min- ing industry is looked for. The steadily increasing product of metals since the open- ing of the overland railroad, is shown by the shipments from Utah Central road,

ithe 43 of the little boroughs.

NO. 219.

Their total population is eight times as great as that of the 43 little boroughs already re- terred to, they have ten times the number of electors, and they pay more than eight tines the amount of mcome tax. And yet they have only 46 members to set against Seventeen boroughs, with an aggregate population of two and a half million,s, and paying over £600,000 in income-tax have the same number of members as 33 boroughs which have only 278,000 of a population, and which only pay £74,000 in’ income-tax. Comparing the voting power of the boroughs of the whole country with populations under 59,000 with those of large populations, it appears that on the one hand a total popt- lation of 3$ millions, an electorate of 600-, 000, paying less than £3,000 in income-tax, returns to Parliament 246 members ; while, on the other, a population of 9} millions, or an electorate of 1,271,000, and paying 4} millions sterling in income-tax, is represent- ed in Parliament by only 114 members— less than half the number returned by the conspicuously smaller electorate. In Scot- Jand, three burghs, with an aggregate pore ulation of less than 50,000, return as many members as one burgh with a population of 500,000. For Glasgow’s three members six burghs not able to count between them half of Glasgow's population have double that number of members. At present the majority of the Conservative Government is derived chiefly from the English and Welsh counties. On the burghs of’ the whole kingdom the Liberals have a mafor- ity. In the Scotch counties parties are equal. In Irish counties the Conse-vatives are im a minority. | ee O80 Ge —

Startling Discovery. . |

4 MISEK wiTtH $10,000 FouND IN A cavE NEAR ST, CATHARINES.

The other day, says the Review, two young men started on a hunting expedition from St. Catharines, and during the day wan- dered into the hollow between Jordan and Glen Elgin (otherwise knuwn as Ball's Mills), villages in the township of Louth

which was formed by the action of the water of the Twenty Mile Creek. After go- ing along this hollow and killing a number of rabbits, of which species of game there is quite an abundance in that’ neighborhood, they accidentally, in climbing up the hill side, rolled a fair-sized stone out of its place. Under the stone they discovered a small hole in the ground, and this attracted their attention, and led to an examination of the surroundings, A short distance fur- ther up the hillside, they discovered an en- trance large enough for. a human being to pass through. After a great deal of re- luctance, they finally summoned up enough courage to enter the cave, and, with the assistance of a light, they commenced to explore the interior, which they found di- vided into well-shaped apartments.

Curiosities of Representaticn Great Britain.

in

The ‘‘ Financial Reform Almanack,” one of those cheap English annuals which, for the small sum of a shilling, furnish a vast amount of valuable information, contains some singular statistics of the manner in which the people of the United Kingdom are represented in the House of Commons. An analysis of these figures shows that the British House of Commons contains 239 inembers belonging to the fighting interests, 175 to aristocratic interests, 102 to official interests, 286 to magisterial interests, 122 to moneyed interests. 145 to railway inter- ests, 20 to the liqv- interest, 78 to liter- ary, professional, < cientific interests,and only 120 to manufa....<ing commercial, and trading interests. Of course a number of members are associated with more than one class of interest. Hence the above figures will add up to more than the total number of the Commoners. The fighting interest include militia, yeomanry, and volunteers. Leaving them out, however, the number of aative and retired officers of army and navy amounts to 111, a very remarkable propor- tion. There are 119 members connected with the peerage by birth, and 53 by mar- riage, and 4 Irish peers have seats. One hundred members are barristers, eight of whom have retired from practice. There are 105 railway directors in the House of Commons, 20 bankers, including 3 bankers and brewers, 16 brewers, exclusive of the above mentioned three, and 1 distiller. Seven members are Bank of England Direc- tors. The official interest above enumer- ated as 102 are made up of 50 ministers and and plycemen, and 52ex-ministersand place- men, although this classification is not likely to be very agreeable to the latter. Ten newspaper proprietors, two newspaper edit- ora, and one newsvender have seats in the House.

here are some curiosities of the represen- tation : Forty-three boroughs, with a popu-

short time frightened the boys, but being intent on seeing the contents of the chest, they, after some trouble, wrested it from him, and, opening it, discovered it filled with silver and copper coins, amounting to about $10,000, as near as they could tell by the size of the bulk. He seized them wit the grip of a lion by the back of the neck and marched them out of the room. Dur- ing all this time he had not uttered a word that could be made out, as he had evidently lost his speech. Noone in the neighbor- hood knows anything about his former his- tory, and, in fact, never knew that such a person was in the vicinity, although it has been known to almost every man, woman and child in those parts that there was es cave in the vicinity, but no has ever ven- tured into it. Residents in the neighbor- hood, however, have often seen the man, and believing hitu to be wild, have shunned him. He is the terror of the young folks, who always give him a wide berth. He is fully armed, and would resist any intru- sion. it is amystery as to how the old man managed to subsist in this dreary place, as he has never made his-way to any ot the houses or people in the vicinity, but it is supposed that he obtained the means of subsistence by making midnight excursions into the adjoming country. —_——-_ 2-4-0 -

A Goop Answer.—At a hop on Monday evening, a musculine without a proper idea of things, called out loudly across the re- freshment table to a lady, ‘‘Can I see you home.” The reply came, cooly, bnt ‘de- cisively, *‘ Thank you, but 1 have yentleman to see me home. That particular young man would have been willing to allow a whale to swallow him up that moment.

The English Ministry ask for only $30,- 000,000 extra for war purposes. Perhaps it is not going to be much of a shower, but if this demand is granted, as it undoubtedly will be, the situation will have a squally aspect.
