But little has been accomplished In
extending Developments in the new
mining district on the North Platte,
during the past thirty days; and at the
present rate IL will take several years
to open up the mines. which promise at
present such good results. The want
Of capital to speedily develop the many
fine prospects near Hartville, was APP
parent to the writer during a visit to
the camp recently. To be sure, there
are q few well directed efforts by Chey-
enne parties at opening out their claims;
but 1t takes money and labor. and a
great deal Of both, 10 accomplish any
thing. Several failures to find good
bodies OF mineral. after sinking shafts
from ten to twenty feet on good sur
face indications, are reported, but this
has only stimulated the luckless miners
to renewed efforts on other prospects.
It Is now generally taken for granted
that the copper and silver-bearing ores
In the Platte Canon mining district
will be found in fat deposits only. In
some places these deposits are near the
surface, such rs the Empire and the
Sunrise lodes; but in other localities
the miners have 10 dig through many
feet OF the hardest porphyry. before
they can expect to get down to the
mineral. This necessitates the expen-
diture Of much labor. and as n majority
OF the men In camp are without sufi-
cient means to prosecute their work, the
prospects will have to lie undeveloped,
until capital enters the field TO aid
them.
The prospective sale OF the ''Green
Mountain Boy" to n company Of capt.
t~alists. who will enter upon extensive
explorations and work, and establish
reduction works, will inaugurate n bet
ter era for the new camp. The sale
will bring In other men Of means, and
other transfers Of valuable mines will
be made. Until then, progress will be
slow. aud our ''second Leadville" will

A Taveiiux Zoo.

Express messenger Sweet was be-
moaning. yesterday afternoon, the fact
that 1t was bis trip ont with No. 4, and
a little Investigation revealed the cause.
Occupying one-half of the express car
were eight or nine woven crates, con-
tanning q collection, most pleasantly
viewed behind iron bars. This collec'
tion belonged to, and was under the
personal supervision Of Capt. J. r,
Mullett, and consisted of seven sea
lions. two African hons and three Cali.
fornia lions, which he was bringing
from the Pacific coast en- route for Chi
cago, from whence they are to be dis.
ktributed among the various eastern
showmen. Informed In advance by tel.
egraph, of their coming, express agent
Longhurst bought up all the fish he
conld find in town for their feed, as
they win eat nothing else. Water was
given them from the hose in a shower
bath, and seemed to be far more ac-
ceptable than food. They were GER
tainly very savage looking beasts and
their more savage believing was not
very reassuring. Altogether it is NOT
to be wondered that expressman Sweet
hesitated about being n of a party Of
two, to keep these fellows company
from Cheyenne to Omaha.
