NINE JUMPERS.
The Glass Of Hen yho Engage I'm the
Business.

Among the evils which afaict every mining
camp, there is one which is more painful,
begets more animosities. frequently leading
to violence and bloodshed. than any other.
1t is the practices of the mime jumper" He
is generally a man who never prospects for
himself, rarely works a mine when he gets
possession of it, but is constantly on the look
out to take advantage of the enterprise, sa-
gacity and labor Of others. He is of the ma
ture of some classes of birds too lazy to
build their own nests, but always searching
for nests already built.
In most cases his operations are for pur-
poses of black-mail solely, but he has no COM
FUNCTIONS of con science in robbing a prospec-
ter and miner of his property, when by rea-
son Of poverty, sickness, or other mfsfortunes
the assessment work appears not to have
been amply performed. Even where thou
sands of dollars have been already expended
upon a mine he will lie in wait with feline
watchfulness. be on the ground It the last
midnight moment, to take advantage of any
laches, errors or seeming lack of requirement
with the law. and pounce upon his prey as
does the jackal. which he is, upon a car
cass without life enough to resist. 1t is we'll
enough to make known hat the policy of the
Government, as manifested through its Courts
does not favor these wreckers of mines. One
of the ablest of the United States District
Judges of Colorado, in %pronouncing a re-
cent decision upon a jumped claim. used the
following language, substantially: The law
supposes and takes for granted that where q
man put 500 worth Of work on a claim or To-
cation that the mineral was there to justify
the expenditure, or else a man would not be
foolish enough to put his time or money to
such use; and no man has a right to go on the
claim of another and break the surface
ground Of a prospect. In other words, the
law accepts the acts Of a miner and pros
pector in good faith. and his fellow-man
should do the Same and keep his hands off,"
Nearly every mining district in the country
Is infested BY number of these mine-sharks,
and they deserve no more consideration from
the honest locator and the public than does
the road agent from a shotgun messenger.

The Cherry Creek Jockey Club are
making preparations for the Fall races,
to come off the second week in Octo-
Der. Over 81, 1000 will be offered in
purses, and the inducements will be
such as to bring some fast steppers to
our race course. In a week or two
posters, announcing the full pro,
gramme, will be issued and sent
abroad all over the state. AS we have
one of the finest race-tracks on the
Coast and the purses offered are liberal,
there Is little doubt but a large gath
ering of turfmen will be I'm attendance.

Postponed.

A petition was received from the
citizens of Cherry Creek, praying for
the establishment of Road District
No. 8. On motion, the consideration
of the same was postponed until the
next meeting.
This was the disposition made by
the Board of County Commissioners
of the petition Of u citizens, asking
for the opening of a road between
here and Duck Creek. If a few peo-
pie, in some out of the way district.
asked to have a COW trail improved, the
Board would give their petition re-
spectful consideration, but when
the most populous and largest tax
paying district in the county asks
for a much-needed improvement,
they are snubbed, and their prayer
kicked under the table. Evidently
the Hon. Board act as though their
subjects in this section wero entitled
to no consideration. All they want
from us is taxes, attend ~juries, pay
tribute to wayside inns, lodging
houses and other waning institute
tons at the county seat. How un-
reasonable we are to ask for more.

Robert Sargentson, who was blown
up in the Star mine ON the 10th, and
miraculously escaped with his life,
though 1t Is feared lost the use of his
sight forever, will be sent to San
Francisco to-day for treatment. A
subscription was taken up this week
and something over $3.50 raised for
that object. The miners at the Star
contributed $500 of the amount.
Sargentson says he can discern light
with the left eye, but the right II
seems to be totally destroyed. We
hope that surgical science will save
at least one if not both eyes.

Pat O'Malley and d. p. Steadman to

Looking Up.

Star stock ran up to 81 in the San
Francisco Stock Board last Monday.
It fell back to 45 cents the next day,
and is now ranging between go and
20 cents. It's good for $40 before the
LIST of January, and no stock jobbing
business either, but on clear merit.
Watch its bullion shipments. That's
what's boosting It.

been the lucky man. His vacillating
policy was not confined to the post-
Office. He promised several gentle
men that they should be United
States marshal. He wrote a strong
letter recommending Col. d. e.
Thornburgh for that position. He
afterwards withdrew it and wrote
one not so strong, saying in effect, as
we understand, that when he wrote
the first one his spiritual condi-
ton was below par. He then
wrote one for Captain Bearden, or,
at least, urged his appointment.
How many others he recommended
for that position this deponent say
not.
But it did not stop there. He
wrote recommendation for young
Shelley, of Roane county, for a postal
clerksbip on the steamboat line be-
tween lockwood and Chattanooga,
which remains on file. He afterward
went in person and secured the
appointment for another. Whether
these charges arose from the differ

THAT " OFFICIAL BRIEF. "

In the Knoxville Henrigibson, of
this week, we find what is called an
" official brief" filed by Judge Houk,
we presume, in the case of the
Knoxville postofice. 1t is a state~
ment of the opposition to the preE>
ent incumbent in the Office, and
wasmade up, by Houk him
self. But our purpose in abiding to
it is to show up some of its ''peculi~
arities," of which there are many.
We take this occasion to thank
Gibson for publishing it. L. gives
US an opportunity to expose its
peculiarities, and to ascertain the
sincerity of mems professions. We
have had but little time yet to ascer'
tain just the extent of the peculi-
arities contained in this brief, but
we have discovered a few, of which
we will speak.
And first we will mention that it con-
tains paragraph to the effect that
W. Fl. Swan, J. A. Swan, A. T. Cot

Charles Morrow and "other county
officers sent telegram requesting

ferred to one indorsing Representa-
tive Houk." Mr.. j. A. Swan author,
ICES us to say that neither he nor his
father made any such a request fol
withdrawal, but that they signed 6
telegram in the interest of theil
kinsman, Will Fl. Roberts, who hac
received a message from Houk, say
ing that he had sent in his name
(Roberts) for appointment as post
master. By way of parenthesis, We
will here observe that Houk SEN
