AIerts VS.. Durants.

The Alert and Durant hose compa-
MES met on Hill street last night at
8 O'Clock, as was announced in the last
issue of THE LEADER, to give our citi-
Iens a trial Of their speed in laying two
hundred feet of hose. The Alerts led
off, running five hundred feet to the
hydrant at the Inter Ocean corner, and
attaching the hose to the hydrant, laid
two hundred feet of hose, and had the
water on, without nozzle, in just sixty
seconds. The distance was made with
out water in fifty seconds.
The Durants then rolled up TO the
starting point and made ready, and
away they flew like the winged winds.
They made the terminus in sixty-three
seconds, without water, and by the
time water reached the hose cart, two
minutes and three seconds had elapsed.
This gave the Alert boys the victory
by a Large majority" 1t should be
remembered in passing upon the victo-
ry of the Alerts, that the Durant boys
had only a two wheeled carriage for
their hose, while the Alerts had a four
wheeler. The latter is much easier
drawn, and the hose used for the same
is more than twice as light. This
gives the Alerts a great advantage ver
their competitors.
Both parties, however, can make
much better time than they did last
night; in fact, we believe they can ac-
complish the same work in about ne
half the time by a little practice. Both
companies are made up of live, active
men, and all that is required lisa little
practice. A large number of our pro-
minent citizens were out TO witness the
contest last night, and a great deal of
enthusiasm and interest was manifest
ed during the races. We hope to see
them repeat the contest in n few days.

N A FROM.


Mr.. Frank A. Olney, formerly of the
Denver News, and well known to some
of our Wyoming citizens, writes us
from Oakland, California, in this wise:
81 am working here on the Oakland
Daily Tribune, running q double cylin-
der. / have been in the Office about
fourteen months. V-is over in Frisco
dead broke. He wishes he was back in
the Herald office at Omaha. Col. John
W is ditto. Times are downright
hard here, and no foolishness. All the
Denver folks who are here are very
anxious to get back to Colorado, but
they havn't got the wherewithal to ac-
complish it."
From the above we are inclined to
infer that pulling up stakes and going
to California is not a paying operation.
To Ego west" is a good thing for a
young man, but there is danger of 60
ing too far. Taken altogether, Wyo-
ming and Colorado have fewer draw
backs than any other sections in the
United States. Times are harder both
east and west than they are here. This
country is good enough in every respect
for anybody. y man who isn't happy
in the Rocky mountain region wouldn't
be contented in Heaven-if he should
ever succeed in getting there.

Correspondence OF The LEADER
SALT LAKE CITY, April %, 1878.
Several parties of miners and pros
pectors have left here within a week
for the Salmon River gold mines, and
others are going. These mines are very
inaccessible, but the ore is very rich,
yielding as high as $1,000 per ton.
They are located in eastern Idaho, along
the Salmon River range of mountains,
and the main region is near Salmon
City, about 120 miles north Of Ross
Fork agency, on the Montana road. 1t
is reached from this latter place by per-
sons on horses or mules, but there is as
yet no wagon road from this side of
the range, though doubtless one will
soon be in use. A number of men
have packed their ore out on mules dur
ing the winter Just passed, and have
been in every case well paid for their
work. There will doubtless be a rush
to these regions before long. as they
promise to be very rich.

Powell's survey, and DIR. Hayden are
at loggerheads about who first discov'
cred that the Port Neuf Canon is the
old outlet for Salt Lake. Each claims
priority in discovering and solving this
scientific problem.
Your correspondent outlined the
whole course of this outlet, in a letter
to THE LEADER, some months ago
without claiming anything extraordi
nary about it, and without costing the
government a cent. 1t is q story thai
