CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 5.-Many tele-
graphic inquiries having come from the
east because of grossly exaggerated &C
counts of losses of cattle sent thence in
specials, the Wyoming Stock Growers
association, the largest body of the kind
in the world, says officially, through its
president, and executive council, to the
Associated Press correspondent here that
though the storm has been unusually severe
along the Union Pacific railroad, it has
been much less on ranges which lie north,
and that cattle are in much better condition
than they have been for many years at
this season. So far as we can learn from
the ranges the loss up to the present time
has been very light, grass being good on
the northern sides hills. If the snow
melts in a few days as it now promises, the
loss OF cattle will be insignificant All
trains on the Union Pacific railroad are
moving on time along the entire road.

IMPORTANT TO MINERS AND MINING MEN.
 The Hon. A. Zehsndelar, A. M., rspresentative of the United States at the exposition at Amsterdam, will also represent the United States at the Crystal Palace exhibition ill London in 1884. Utah and Montana alone, of all our mining territories were represented last year The exposition in London next year will contain ores from Africa, Australia, Spain and South AmerIca and it would be shame If the United States, the chief producer of the precious metals of the world. are not represented.
 Mir. Zehandelsr can easily secure a de partment for the display of minerals from this country. if the states and ter ritories will only take sufficient interest in the matter to collect the ores and pay the freight to the sesbosrd, the govern ment and steamship companies taking it from there hence free of charge with the understanding that the ere will g1 to the Commissioner in charge, at the close of the exhibition.
 Thomas J. Hurley, whose address is No. 20, Upper Montague street, Mont ague Square, London, England. will also assist and do everything in hIs power to aid Americans by furnishing infOrma- tion to those who desire to place ore on exhibition. This is proposition that should meet with favor throughout the mining regions of the west, and the in- vestment of the small sum necessary to transport the ores to New York, would be money we'll invested.

TIE Globe Chronicle has adopted line of reasoning peculiar to itself. It made the statement a few weeks ago, that peace and quiet reigned on the San Carlos reservation. The fact was well known to everybody who knew anything about the question. The Chronicle now comes toward and boldly says that no Indian depredstions have been com mitted in Arizona since last March. So far as the CITIZEN knows no one has said there has been any depredstions since that time. It then goes on to publish rehash of stuff from Pres colt paper that does not contain 8 sim gle word of truth. It regrets that a miserable warfare has been made on General Crook" But as General Crook himself is responsible for his own record it is very much out of place to blame others for his shortcomings. It finds much fault with the CIT1zEs's correspondents. We will state for the edificstion of that journal that the telegrsphic correspond ents of the CITIZEN are among the best and most reliable men in the Territory. They are instructed to report facts, and we are convinced that they do report . o,lDiop The t Shr9aieIs af 5isIst is et committed in Mexico" should be "eI- plained to the average reader" that Mexico is the field of operations" ." Now, the CITIZEN places a much higher estimate upon the capabilities and intel ligence of it's readers than does the Chronicle. When our dispatches state that men have been killed or other dep relations committed in Mexico, the readers of the CITIZEN understand what is meant without further explanation.
 How would it sound to follow up the suggestions of the Chroniclef For ex- ample, let us suppose that the CITIZEN received the following dispatch from its Tombstone correspondent:
 Two Mexicsns were killed by In- disns at Nscossri canyon today" and the CITIZEN then, by way of explanation, add: "Nscossri canyon is in Mexico. The men who were killed were Mex icanR It did not occur n Arizona Peace reigns in Arizona"
 That style of journalism may meet the views of the Chronicle, but it does not strike the CITIZEN as being necessary. We endesvor to publish A newspaper, and we are of the impression that the readers of the CITIZEN understand what they read without explanatory notes-

THH San Francisco Bulletin, in dis eussirg the recent decision of Judge Hoffman on the Chinese immigrAtiO question says: "f the ruling made by Judge Hoffman last week IS to stand, restriction on Chinese immigration will be grestly weakened. The ruling IS to the effect that the status of the ap- pliosnt for admission IS to be determined not by what he was in hIs own country, bat what he is going to be 10 the United States. It will require but very little examination to establish that if this is 8 correct interpretation of the Exclusion Act there then is little or DO barrier to admission. All that IS nsces- ssry for the Coolie is to state to the Canton authorities that he Is going to be . merchant, 6 student, tescher, or 8 trs-sler in the United States to secure ..he required certificate. In that case !. nothing to rely upon but the and re sl know what that is We have gone to the expense and tsz.lble Of sending sn Embassy to China to put a . stop to Chinese immigration; but, &C., cording to Judge Hoffman, we have gained nothing but that the Conlie shi Il say before embsrking for this country that he is not 8 lsbOrer.

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY or GREAT MINES.
 10 is strange that so many great mines of the world have been acc dentslly dis covered The Plsnch de Plstss of Peru were discovered by sn Indian who, while climbing up the side of a steep mountain. caught held of small tree or shrub Co cid him in the ascent, but not being firmly rooted it gave way, carrying ths thin coating of earth that had formed over the rocky surface with 1t, sxposlng pure mslesble silver such as vas never before found, and from which millions of dollars worth of pure silver vas subsequently, taken. The Lesdviile mines, which have proved to be among the best minss ever discovered, were found after thousands of pro7pectoTs and miners had run over them for years and years in search of gold quartz. The writer of this article was among the early pioneers of that region, and passed sver the ground time and again, never dreaming of the wealth that WAS hidden below ihe rough surface of country rock. The great Comstook mine. from which zore gold and silver bullion has been extracted than from any mine of which ve have any account, either m ancient Q. modern history, was discovered some tme after the gold had been washed out of the gulch al the foot of Mount Ds- vidsou, and on the final clean up, when she sulphurets from the Comstock, which had wsshed down into the gravel and sand, intertered with the successful col lection of the gold in the tluice boxes. The Silver King mine of ArlZona, one of the richest silver mines in the world, was long supposed to be cliff of rockFr and inc error was not discovered until one of 6 party of prospectors broke piece of the ere to throw st lazy mule, he wss driving into camp. The Hermo-s mine, in the Patagonia mountains from which nesrly million dollars WAS taken was discovered by Mexican while hunt ing horses.

pocroRKD GOODS.

The necessity for inspectors of all kinds of prepared food, medicines and liquors becomes more apparent every day. There are many men in this world who are willing to destroy the properties of a medicine, even though it may be the means of shortening the lives Of scores of human beings, if by 30 doing they can add few dollars io their year ly income. One of the largest pork and beef packing houses in the world, was few months ago proved to have been engaged in manufacturing spurious lard, and if the firm dld this, it IS not unrea- sonsble to suppose that the same firm, which is largely engaged in canning beef, will not be oyerpsrticular as to the quality of meats they put up for market. But the latest exposition of adulter- sted goods comes up in the way of doctored whisky, which never would have been made public. had it not been for little family quarrel where one oi the principals applied for 6 divorce, and whose brother-in-lsw, who took sides with his sister, happened to be the com pounder for the firm. When the brother in-lsv was discharged, he at once pro ceeded to Washington, and gave the In ternal Revenue department the benefit oi his knowledge. The Chief Revenue Agent was sent out from New York to examine into the facts of the case, and found that the informer had told the truth The Handy & Robinson, of Troy New. York; was in the wholesale hquol business. Mir. Cumstook, the com pounder, showed the Chief Revenue Agent, Mir. Sewell, how, under the direc ton of the firm be pumped out nine teen gallons of straight whisky from barrel holding forty gallons, and put il nineteen gallons of spirits, coloriDg mat ter and flavoring, which the firm sold ai straight goods. In one barrel of vha is known ss sidney whisky, only ter gallons of pure whisky were left. ana the balance of thirty gallons WAS msnu fsctured with compounds, thus showing that to every one gallon of good whiskl three gallons of the compound ver' added. What is needed is law O Congress which will provide for a sys tenn of inspectors to inspect all kinds O prepared food, medicines and liquors Let us have everything as pure ss pos sible. We believe the majority of peo pie would be willing to pay the sddi tionsl cost of pure article rather thai be deceived into the purchase o spurious goods st any price.
