A Small %SaIamander.

The c. & 3. II. coach which arrived
here yesterday brought Superintendent
Voorhees,, Messenger Scott Davis and
the usual complement of live passen-
gers. Fastened to the bed of the coach
on the inside, was an inanimate passen-
ger-an oblong, insignificant looking
box, made of the finest hardened steel
and iron, which, when opened, was
found to contain six hundred ounces
(ahout s12 ,000) in glittering gold dust.
This iron box, or safe, was manufac-
tured recently In Cincinnati for the
special use of this company. 1t is
made after the style Of those now In
use by the Union Pacific Express Co.,
and is indeed a salamander. Its size is
16x3O inches. The sides, end, top and
bottom are three inches thick, leaving
a space 10x24 inches for the storage of
valuables. The latest style Yale lock
Is used, and the manufacturer warrants
that the safe cannot be opened inside
of six days by any means except a
knowledge of the combination.
The safe has just made the first round
trip between Cheyenne and Deadwood,
and the coach containing it will run
once a week hereafter to Deadwood and
back. Scott Davis and another trusty
messenger will accompany 1t on every
trip, and q cavalry escort will ride
beside the coach whenever asked for,
on the night drive between Jenney's
stockade and Hat creek. Road agents
may as well turn their attention to
some honest pursuit, for they cannot
make anything out Of this safe, and
passengers will carry their wealth in
| drifts

Stamp Mills Wanted.

Luke Vorohees, who returned from
Deadwood yesterday, states that while
there he visited all the mills and the
principal quartz mines. He became i'm
pressed with the idea that so far only
coffee mills" have been sent in and
set at work upon the ores Take the
great Keets mine as an illustration: In
stead of there being a half dozen mills
Of one hundred stamps each pounding
the gold out of its ore, there are four or
five ten and fifteen stamp mills working
upon it. There are three or four
Thousand tons of ore upon the dump,
and the pile is being increased by a
large force of men who are working day
and night.
This is about the situation at all of
the quartz mining camps. Every mill
is busy, and all have contracts which
will keep them running for months.
Many miners who have large quantities
of ore on the dump are unable to Sc.
cure facilities for having it
crushed, and must wait until new mills
come in, or make disadvantageous bar.

the latter agree to erect mills. This is
why we advertise for more stamp mills.
A dozen mills of one hundred stamps
each would find speedy, steady and lu-
crative employment in the New E.

Yesterdays Fire.

\ small frame dwelling on 18th
street, near Hill, was burned to the
ground yesterday morning. An alarm
was sounded about 8 O'Clock, the
Durant steamer and the Hook & Lad
der boys being promptly on hand. The
engine was of no service whatever, as
it was fully three quarters of an hour,
and some say an hour, before water
was thrown. Half an hour was con-
sumed in getting up steam, and the
remainder of the time in fixing defec-
tive hose.
The Hook &c Ladder boys and the
crowd did effective work in preventing
the fire from spreading. Everything
in the house was consumed, the occu-
pant, Mrs. L. Knowland, escaping in
her night clothes. The building be-
longed to Underwood and Kent, and
their loss is is about $500. Nc insur-

Deadwood Drunkards.

As a general thing u people are not
strictly a~bstemious, in fact the majority
take their regular "bitters," but abso.
Lutte i%ntoxication is very exceptional.
Occasionally an unfortunate fingers a
little too long with the flowing bowl
and fills his tank a little too full. Un-
less noisy or disorderly, he is permitted
to triangulate the streets unmolested.
One popularity of the Deadwood
''boozer" is that instead Of retiring to
the privacy of his tent or cabin to sleep
off the effects of his potations, he in
variably selects the sidewalk of our
crowded Main street. There undis-
turbed, and scarcely noticed, he can
sleep the sleep that only a drunkard
can enjoy. Pioneer.

OF course, an independent paper Ike
THE LEADER cannot be expected to
please everybody and we shall not make
the attempt. There are u great many
people in every community, however,
who think they know all about running
q newspaper, and il they could only be
permitted to manage THE LEADER for
a while, what a wonderful ucces they
would make Of it. This fancy Is q
guileless one, If the amateur newspaper
man is fortunately kept from coming
in contact with a newspaper Office; he
Is thus saved a great deal of money,
and much annoyance. But when a
person with this newspaper malady
accidentally stumbles into the editorial
chair, and commences his efforts at
pleasing everybody, he generally makes
short work of it; or the sheriff does it
for him, in behalf of numerous credi-
tors.
Everybody knows how to run a news
paper better than the mar who actually
has run 1t for years-at least they think
they do; but they find themselves wofnlly
mistaken when they are required to set
their wits to work in conducting a
business about which they pretend to
know all, but really know no more than
u babe.
THE LEADER has always been and
always will be ''run'' as the ''organ'' Of
Cheyenne and Laramie county, and
never as the ''organ" (under the COM
mon a%cceptation of the word) of any
man or party of men. While it has
supported and does now support the
great principles of the National Repub-
lican party, and the administration
chosen by that party, in local affairs it
has always advocated the election of
goud, efficient and honest men, and
favored the enactment Of good, benefi-
cent laws, without taking into consid-
Grafton the political faith of the for
mer, or the political bearings and
effects of the latter.

Of health at present. The many friends

Some Of our Republican friends are
surprised that Tar LEADkR ahould
speak q good word for the Democratic
nominees for the Legislature, all of
whom are good men and true,
and as such are known and
respected in this community. 1t is
rather late in the day and too near
election day, for us to go back on our
arguments in favor of the election Of Il
non-partizan legislature. There are
certainly no political Issues at stake
and we havs not seen the slightest
necessity of drawing old party lines in
this local campaign.
II the Republican organization will
take hold and improve upon the tickets
nominated, we shall be glad to see #
done, for THE LEADERS aim has been
to see our best citizens nominated,
no matter what their former political
preferences may have been. We shall
regret to see a disposition to divide po'
~litically on this question of repre-
%sentation in the legislative assem-
bly,; or a desire to urge the claim,
Of INT aspirant Of the other sim
ply because he happens to call himself
a Democrat or Republican. Let worth
intelligence and ability be the standard,
and let men of that character be chosen
as candidates. Then we shall not fail Of
being well represented, no matter who
are elected; and Laramie County's in
terests will be safe for the coming two
years.

Silly canard.

No such man as Frank Carroll was
hanged in Deadwood on Saturday
morning, nor has any such man ever
been sentenced to be hanged here: nor
has any such man ever been arrested
here for stage robbery; nor has any
such man ever been in our Jail as a
prisoner; nor have u officers ever
heard of such a man; nor has any road
agent been arrested this summe for
robbing the stage; nor have we ever
heard of Frank Carroll as a desperate.
Lastly, no man has been hanged in
