Ecene tus Court.

Whom the first case was called In the
District Court yesterday morning, a
lively scene occurred between Judge
Cole aud Crittenden Thornton, in
which a question arose rs to whether
Thornton had heard Judge Cole give n
verbal order to Sheriff Sias to stay Il
certain proceeding for II day. A
heated conversation was kept up for
some little time between the Judge
and Mr.. Thornton. which resulted in
the latter being fined and imprisoned
tor contempt of Court, as will be seen
from the following, which we copy
from the District Court records:
In the matter of the contempt of
Crittenden Thornton - The above.
named G.. Thornton, in the immediate
view and presence OF the Court, hav.
ing been guilty of con!emptuous and
~insolent behavior towards the Judge
of said Court, to wit: The said Thorn.
ton, while arguing a motion in the case
OF Galen vs.. Ley, having accused the
Judge thereof OF making a false state
ment, and on being ordered by the
Judge to take his seat, the said Thorn
ton, in a conteinptuous and insoleni
name refused to obey such order.
and used other incident language to
said Judge. 1t is therefore ordered
that G. Thornton be adjudged guilty
Of contempt, and that he be punished
by imprisonment in the County Jai|
for the term OF twelve hours. and that
he pay a fine. III addition, IN the sun

THE OsCEOLA GOLD MINES.
More Authentic Information.

WARD, June 10.
Since l last wrote you, l have been
to see the elephant O~sceola-and
must say that l was agreeably sur
prised in what / saw there. / was
there but one day. but / took every
thing in; visited the quartz and placer
mines; panned out several pans of
dirt myself, ard got fine prospects Of
gold. The placer mines there are Ger.
tainly no humbug, and will be worked
systematically by their wner TIE
greatest draw back to the camp Is the
scarcity of water; n little stream of
three or four inches is all that there is
in the immediate vicinity, but the
miners are packing and hauling their
dirt a mile or more 10 water, and are
making good wages. Yesterday
George Doane returned from the dig
gings. and stated that q chunk of gold
had beenifound Ia the Chappelle claim,
or gulch, which was valued at $500.
Lots OF specimens, valued at from
IS to $50. have been found, and a min
or brought in eight ounces Of dust to
dispose Of here to day for coin. 1t is
useless for outsiders and poor men to
go TO ths digyings at present, for every
ravine, gnlch and quartz lode for miles
around has been located. The owners
OF placer mines claim 20 acres to each
location, which is a drawback to the
place. II is estimated that at least
81 900 in dust has already been taken
out. Ii there was a plentiful supply of
water. 1t is my candid opinion there
would be an old fashioned White Pine
excitement and the Black Hills would
be discounted.
The quartz lodges, 70 far as worked,
show strong veins. ranging from two
to four feet in width, and run in an
east and west course. They carry
gold principally, and very little, il
any, silver is found in tho rock. a
5 stamp mill will be in operation by
the lst or middle of next month, but
as it is somewhat primitive in its
makeup, l scarcely think y fair test
can be shown from the result of its
Workings; however, the men that are
putting it up are energetic millmen
and deserve all the good luck that we
hope Is In store for them.

ltaiists, and l believe they would b
