Petty thieYing is increasing about
town to an alarming extent, despite
the utmost care of the officers to pre-.
vent it. D%epredations upon the money
tills Of business houses and houses OF
private individuals are of almost night
ly occurrence. Thus far no large haul
has been made by the light fingered.
light footed, and evidently light pursed
gentry, but there Is no telling when the
small change may grow into a full
aedged robbery. Besides, the frequency
of these successful petty thefts, will
give the depredators or depredator a
confidence which may make it unsafe
to walk unfreGuented streets alone on
dark nights, until the wrong nan is
held up and the audacious thief sits
down to contemplate the ups and
downs OF life.
Evidently all this business is carried
on by persons well acquainted about
town, for the transgressions show an
other wise strange familiarity with
local matters and things; and their sue
cessful entries and exits prompt q warn.
ing that door ~fsstenings be made secure
and other little extras attended to,
which will insure the midnight visitor
a cordial welcome.

Boomerang: We regret to announce

States timber agent for this district.
He has won Thousands of friends TO
his standard and made himself one of
the most popular officials of the west
With the most wonderful faculty for
entertaining those with whom he is
brought In contact, he unites the most
scrupulous sense of duty as an officer,
and bis assertions will always do to tie
to unless he is telling something in tine
anecdote line, and then he has been
bothered several times to produce the
papers.
"Timberline" Jones, "a he is called
in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, will
return to Clarinda, Iowa, where he is
one of the proprietors of the Herald,
and will henceforth figure among Iowa
journalists, d state by the way, that

men and God-fearing te-total republi-
cam as any state in the union.

The image . Of tine Denver expo
sition are making progress in arranging
the displays. Ma chine'ry hall is i'm
proving, and but little more is to be
done in the mining department. by
the end of the present week the expo
sition will be about where IL should
have been at the open ing. There is
grumbling at the small a tendance and
some of the newspapers are making
other criticisms. Pomel py's Great

tiou a side show or a part VI a real

than it should be. The result is I bat
tens of thousands of people stay aw; ",
when, were the exposition buildn lg
properly located, and the price of a, /

price to charge men, women and chill
dren for riding to an exhibition that.
had it been properly located, could
have been reached by walking.
The mining commissioners have ap-
pointed a committee to ask the railroad
companies to reduce prices for excur-

| OUR MICA MINES.-AmOng various
| discoveries in the Hartville district or
thereabouts, and they have been numer'
| GUS, the mica claims have attracted a
| deal of attention as showing large
bodies of this material and of a very
fiattering quality. This mica is found in
| Muskrat canon and one claim is owned
by John Comfy, Hi. Kelly, T. Dyer and
F. Schwartze. The body is from thirty
feetto sixty feet wide, and blocks
| of the mica have been taken out from
twelve to twenty inches square. The
surface promises of the mica are most
promising and the claim is regarded as
a very valuable one. The refuse in
mica mines is used in axle grease, dia-
mond dust and other commercial
articles.
A RICH FND.-T. B. Dickinson
went out west a short distance yester-
day with a beautiful specimen OF
galena In his pocket. for the purpose of
looking up the parent vein which bore
such a promising offspring. The speci-
men was about 80 per cent. lead and a
fine per cent. of silver. He will return

vein is situated about thirty miles from
Hartville, and twenty-five from Musk
rat, on the Shanen creek that enters
into the Platte at Bridges ferry. Mr..
Iba has been experimenting all winter
with coal with a view of producing
coke; with satisfactory results. The
vein from which this is taken is from
two to five feet thick and entirely free
from sulphur, but filled with the best

perts that by sinking down farther still

This discovery il Of more real value to
