NEW DISCOVERY.
/. The Mines Near Cheyenne.

We are indebted to some unknown
friend for copies Of the Cheyenne
Leader containing the following account
of the new discoveries at that place, and
as Z. 3. Coleman's name appears in the
paper, we conclude that he is the one 10
whom thanks are due. 1t will be seen
by the following that he is interested in
the mines and town and we hope that
he has struck it as rich as he did when
he got hold Of the DcSmet;
The writer returned last evening from
a two weeks visit to the copper mines
Of Copperopolis in the northern part Of
Laramie county. The developments in
this camp during the past month have
been on an extensive scale. Many new
discoveries have been made and our
predictions hat all the hills leading from
the Platte to the Rawhide are mineral
bearing, are gradually being verified.
Early last week the discovery Of a
vein Of rich silver and copper bearing
ore was reported on Mineral Hill" at
the Indian Springs, about five miles
from Copperopolis.
A stampede Of all the miners OF the
Platte Canon mining district soon after
set i'm for Mineral Hill, and a large camp
was formed at the Springs in q few days.
P~rospectors in great numbers swarmed
over the mountain, and in a weeks time
eight leads we're discovered and located
on this hill, all of them showing mp fine
surface indications Of silver and copper.
Specimens Of the ore assaying from 500
to 1925 per ton. The miners are now
hard at work developing their e dis
coveries. Blasting is heard in every
direction, and every shot brings to the
surface the rich mineral heretofore hid
den in the mountaiLs.
A meeting of the miners located near
Indian Springs was called last Monday
evening, for the purpose Of organizing a
town site company. Thirty-two men
were present at the meeting and much
enthusiasm was manifested. II. Claiche
Wis cIcClcu picclOtilt, ana d. ~. OtdCy,
secretary and recorder. After some dis
c~ussion, the new town was given the
name of Hartville, by a unanimous vote
of the miners. This is in honor of Col.
'. X. Hart, major 9Th Y. 5. cavalry, who
has been identified with the new camp
for some time, and is developing several
very promising locations in the vicin-
ity.
The plateau south and southeast of In
dian Springs, including the latter, was
by Il vote of the meeting, designated as
the town site of Hartvllle and upon
motion the president, Messrs. Coleman,
Hart and Strattou, were appointed a
committee to stake oGtlie lots and cause
Il survey to be made. Upon motion of
Col. Hart, the size Of los was fixed ut
zyxlUD feet.
There being no other business, the
meeting adjourned, subject to the call
of the Recorder, with three nearly
cheers for H.l,yliie and Col. Hart.

The Wal Street News relates the io,Iowing
story A few months ago a prominent New
Yorker purchased soIe mining lands in
Colorado, and hardly had the transaction
been completed when he received a notice
that a survey had been made and it had been
discovered That he was working six feet of
a claim belonging to other parties. Tie gen-
tleman was or the ground himself, aud in
this emergency he called for the advice of an
old friend who had been through the mill.
"Leave it all to me-" replied the man after
the case had been stated, and he sent for the
surveyor to come and see him. The latter
promptly replied to the summons, and when
he sat down he could not fail to observe that
a $50 bill lay on the table before him. "Are
you u first-classs surveyor ~ asked the media
tor after some general Talk. 81 am, SIR"
care your instruments in perfect order 20
was the next query, as a second fifty was
laid down. "Yes, sir.'' 'Whcn you were
making this survey were you dead certain
that your level was in good trim ?" was the
third query as a third bill was laid down.
The surveyor hesltated, scratched his head,
and looked at the money before him. "Don't
you believe" continued the mutual friend. as
he made the pile all even 5000, sthat your
level wobbled about six feet ~ "Y-e-s, |
think do. Yes, l know it did," was the re-
ply, and the four bills were hidden away in
his vest pocket with a simple twist Of the
wrist. "Well, | thought So" remarked the
other "and you'd better hint il to the other
company. Good day, sir awful busy this
afternoon

Matt. Carpenter On Christianity.

Professor David Swing, in a recent sermon,
spoke feelingly of the late Senator Carpenter,
and made his quotation from a letter received
last September from the senator: s.Whoever
will read Cicero's Twighlight Speculations
About Duty and the Future Life, remember
ing that perhaps, he was the fullest man of
antiquity, the ripest scholar and student of
the highest period of Roman civilization, and
remembering that from the birth of Cesar to
the birth of Christ the only change that came
to civilization was a delicate child, and that
Jesus belonged to an out-of-lhe-way people
a people apart from the high tides of human
greatness-and then will read he Sermon on
the Mount, | canno comprehend how he can
escape the conclusion that the difference is
not one of degree, but Of kind. That Jesus,
surrounded as he was, could have promulgat-
ed a system of morals embodying all that is
most valuable in the prior life of the world,
ard to which nineteen centuries of ~civlliza-
ton have been unable to add a thought or im-
part an ornament, is a fact not to be explain
ed.by any ridicule.'

Diseases or Miners.

Iu the Popu{ar Science Monthly for March
a uinmary is given of the diseases OF miners,
as they have been specially studied by'Dr.
Paul Fabre, Of Coininentry, France. The
diseases prevalent among wOrkmen who labor
III damp or wet galleries are largely governed
by certain accessory circumstances No no.
bid symptom is developed among those who
work IN a gallery which is simply damp aud
of il temperature not exceeding IS deg. But
# cold water falls upon them, or If they have
to put their legs i'll water, they become sub
iect to lumbago, ~sciatica, to indefinite pains
in their limbs, and often rheumatism,
generally Subacute, sometimes chronic, most
frequently localized in a single joint-gen-
orally that of the left knee, Oh which the
pickmen and beavers rest in working. In
galleries saturated with moisture, and where
the temperature exceeds 70 Or ~ deg, the
wOrkmen are soon overcome with an extreme
lassitude; they get hot, they gasp for breath,
the sweat rolls down their bodies, and they
are obliged to stop working and rest for
awhile in a cooler spot. A rapid enervation
comp.ls frequent changes Of the men in the
gallery, and sudoral or military eruptiOns oc-
cur, sometimes bolls, rarely eczema. If,
while the gallery is constantly damp. the air
is initiated by poisonous or irIepressiblc gases,
and if the water contains sulphates or sui
phuric acids in solution, the men. in addition
to pains in their limbs and difficulties in
breathing, experience lively feelings and
painful smarts whenever the surface Of the
skin has been abraded. Those who have
labored for a longtime in the damp galleries
contract a chronic Inflammation OF the gums,
together with muscular pains IN the limbs'
and have often intestinal troubles and spots
of purpura. These phenomena indicate the
coming of a mild form of scurvy. The
remedies are improvement Of the sanitary
conditions of the mines, and the usual applica'
ions for scurvy whenever the symptoms OF
that disease appears.
