LETTER FROM ATLANTA.

Ed. WoRLD:-Slnce your regular
correspondent, "Roustabout," LETT there
has been little or nothing to speak of.
Captain Bledsoe and a gentleman by
the name of Brown came in and COM
menced operations on their Atlanta
claims. BledSoe having made sale of
the eight hundred feet he had bonded.
They have located and are sinking a
two compartment working shaft abont
100 feet from their east line, which
they intend to sink 800 feet by the
first of January, at which time we
hope and believe they will commence
taking out shipping ore But should
they be fortunate enough to strike
shipping ore they will order the neces-
sary machinery for reducing the ore
at home and save the two hundred
dollar expense of shipping it out of
of the country for reduction, which
benefits no one here They are work
ins ten Or twelve men at present, but
will increase their force as fast as
room permits them They will run
levels every fifty feet. Their hosting
process for this year will be carried on
by VIM, which they have under
course of construction. There being
no machinery in camp suitable for
hoiSting works, they will have to wait
another year.
We have not heard from Baldwin &
Co, who are talking aboutpmcIlasing
the William Tell. Should they invest,
we hope they will meet with success,
as all companies should do at the pres
ent time, if this camp ever comes up.
One more dead blk" like the Lucy
Phillips will ruin us FOREVER.
Messrs. Newton, Heath & Co. have
resumed work on their Last Chance
mine, and arc taking out as rich ore
as ever. They calculate to work one
hundred tons yet this fall. We hope
they will meet with better success
in saving the valuable metal than they
did before. Their tailings assayed be-
tween seventy and eighty dollars,
which is too much to lose in free gold
rock.
Mcssrs. Schenck, Dardis & Thoms
have leased the Leonora mine for one
year, and they being energetic men, |
think they will make money out of it.
1t is there, if they can only find it.
Henry Casey left here with his
teams yesterday for Rocky Bar. He
has contracted to bring in the Buffalo
roasers Mr. MalIaney thinks they
will have their machinery in running
order by the 18th of August.
Mr.. Hogan has leased Tillman's
saw mill and is saving lumber. We
have two saw mills running now every
day. Lumber is worth from thirty to
forty dollars per thousand.
Col. A. B. Smith il out at Salmon
lakes with broken leg. | do not
know the particulars.
Robert Furey, who was blown up in
the Monarch mine, is getting along
nicely. NovUs HOMO.

Her case is worth the attention Of

The Philadelphia Press thus emu
merates some of the people who are
injured by the lawless interruption of
the commerce of the country: "There
is not merchant, mechanic, manu-
facturer, or producer there is not a
farmer, nor a widow looking for her
interest from her railroad stock not
an insurance company; not build
ing association not saving institu-
ton not o shipper OF a ship building
company, that does not feel this bane-
full. blind, and utterly illogical terror
ism and there is nothing left but the
hw-law violated and trampled under
foot-nothing, indeed, but a manly
and indignant protest from the great
mass of our American wOrkingmen.
1t is they who should speak. Let
them repudiate the horrors enacted in
their name by comparatively few
reckless disturbers of the public
peace"

The Governor on the Field.

Governor Hartranft made careful
examination of the situation through
out the State and country on Wednes-
day evening and yesterday morning,
and the result was the decision 10 li-
rect the most active efforts to concen-
trate the entire available military
force of the State where it Is likely to
be needed, as promptly as possible,
and employ all the moral and physi-
cal power of the government to restore
the highways of the country to their
proper public uses and protect the
property of citizens and corporations
from the control of all lawless men.
After perfecting his plans, the Gov
ernor started out on the line of the
Pennsylvania Railroad with Major
General Hancock, to make the neces-
sary preparations for the early move
ment and protection of freights. Be-
fore leaving his headquarters in this
city, Governor Hartranft issued the
following order to the State militia,
what soldier, like our Chief Magis-
trate, means by instructing the troops
that when the military can maintain
peace only by the bullet, "every
soldier will be expected to fire with
effect" and that 1.-THE firing will con.
tinue until the mob disappears" The
following is the text of Governor Har-
tranft's order: .,.'.'

This is a bad year for life insurance
companies. A suit for $4,6OO.OOO has
been begun in New York against the
Universal life insurance company.
This has given rise to the expectation
that there are to be additional and
more startling developments relative
to the management of the Universal,
and especially concerning the manner
in which the Universal absorbed the
Guardian Mutual. The suit is to re-
cover from the Universal the assets of
the Guardian Mutual, estimated, it is
understood, at $4,6OO,OOO, the charges
of the most serious character are made
against the persons resposible for the
absorption of the Guardian Mutual by
the Universal. Concerning the Char
ter Oak, which is also involved in
serious difficulty, it appears that the
certificate of authority to issne new
policies in Connecticut was revoked
by Superintendent Smith on Tuesday.
Many insurance men incline to the
opinion, however, that the company
will come out all rigth, and no one is
advised to sacrifice his policy. Many
persons in Williamsport and Lycom-
ing county hold policies in the Char
ter Oak, and there is feeling of un-
easiness among them, but it is hoped
that the company will be able nltima-
tely to make good all its obligations.

The Indian department has received
information concerning Sitting Bull
and his bands of hostile Sioux, num-
bering about 1900, fighting men,
who have been in British territory
ever since the unfortunate Custer
campaign. They have apparently
been behaving themselves, and are
well equipped with horses and guns,
but are short of ammunition, which
the Canadian traders are not allowed
to sell to Indians, except under such
restrictions as will prevent their OBJ
tanning supplies for a campaign. The
Canadian officer, from whom the in.
formation is derived said that the
force of mounted police, only 800 men
would be insufficient to drive them
out of the country, in case the United
States demanded them. 1t is believed
that they intend returning sOnth of
the Yellowstone this summer:
