CHEYENNE, May oath, 1888.
Eds. Tri6une.-Again grab hold
of the pen, with a view of entrust
ing to the readers Of your paper a
few more facts about this great
country, where apples grow on tele-
graph-poles and oranges on sage
bush. Spring, gentle spring, hath
at last doomed up, and, in eonse-
quence, this city presents a very
busy appearance, especially more so
as the building boom has struck the
city again. The festive cowboys,
after donning their buckskin suits
Of clothes, are fast disappearing
from the streets of the city, and
have struck out for the country, there
to take a hand in the general round
ing up of cattle. The ranchman
HES himself to his ranch to view his
stock and probably figure up the
profits for the ensuing year. Every
property-owner here takes q hand in
helping to beautify the city by
planting trees, laying sods, etc, and,
inside of five years this city will not
be only the Magic City" but also
the COASTS of the Plains" The
majority of the people sway down
East" labor under the belief that we,
out here, are living in the land Of the
heather. Not SO fast, my christian
friends. We have here seven
churches of different denominations,
all Of which are buildings of pre-
possessing appearance. There are
no farmers in this territory, as this
part of the country is more adapted
for grazing purposes. Wisconsin is
well represented out here, and Min
cral Point especially. There are J.
Is. and b. Terues, j. c. Boscha, b.
Goldsworthy, j. Delles, and a good
many others whose names ! cannot
at this moment remember, and all
of whom occupy high and paying
positions. The weather-clerk here
appears to have settled down to bus
mess again, after having been "off
his base" a few times, and given us
nine different kinds Of weather every
day. Travel on the railway is very
heavy at present, and demand an in
crease of trains. Out in Utah, along
the line of the Union Pacific, for q
distance Of IS niles one can daily
see Mormon women telling in the
fields, while their chubby" sits on
the fence and bosses the "outfit. "
My supply of news being exhausted,
will now let up, and give you time
to ponder over the aforesaid.

Difference Between Cyclones,
ToInadoeS. etc.

The difference is one merely of
degree. The shades of difference
in the several words Of our Ian
guage which signify atmospheric
disturbances and agltations are thus
given in Webster's Dictionary. 1t
will be seen that the difference be-
tween n cyclone, tornado and a
whirlwiud is so slight that there is
really no necessity for more than
one word to define them all, and
the same is the fact rs regards a hur-
ricane, a tempest and a gale:
CycioRe from the Greek word
kuklos, a circlc)-A rotary storm or
whirlwiud Of extended circuit.
Tornado from the Latin word
toyudye, to turn "A violent gust Of
wind, or tempest distinguished 10y
whirling, progressive motion, usu-
ally accompanied by severe thunder,
lightning and torrents of rain, and
commonly Of short duration and
small breadth.
UhirhrMd-A violent wind NOV
ing in Il circle round its axis, and
having a progressive motion.
Hmricane - A violent storm,
characterized by the supreme fury
of the wind and its sudden changes
lin the East and West Indies often
accompanied hy thunder and light
ming.
Gale-A strong current Of air; a
wind between a stiff breeze aud a
storm or tempest
GtmpeSi--Au extensive current of
wind, rushing with great velocity
and violence, and commonly attend
/ ed by rain, hail or snow; q storm of
extreme violence
Noyut-A violent disturbance of
the atmosphere, producing wind,
rain, snow, hail or thunder and light
ming; hence, often a fall of rain OF
snow.
Webster's Dictionary explains the
difference between a storm and a
/ tempest thus: "Stoyul is violent ag
itatiou, commotion Of the elements
by wind, etc, but not necessarily
implying the fall Of anything from
the clouds. Hence, to call mere
fall Of ram, without wind, storm
Though common in this country is
d departure from the true eensc of
the word 4 tempest is one of those
sudden and violent storms common
on the coast Of Italy, where the term
originated, and is usually attended
by a deluge of rain, with lightning
and thunder"
The meaning Of two other words
gust and sYta'i is almost identl
cal a gust being "a sudden rushing
and driving of the wind, Of short
duration" and a s7aaH being a sud.
den and violent gust of wind, often
attended byrain or snow - Chicago

New England on the 18th Of June,

ONE OF the speakers at the Brew
er's Convention in Detroit last week
argued that the brewing of beer was
in reality temperance work, and
should be so regarded. In proof Of
his assertion he said that beer had
now become the national beverage,
instead Of whisky. The number Of
gallons Of beer brewcd per year had
increased from G2,205.375 in s63 TO
525,514,6l3 in 1893, He did not
show how much the increase in
whisky was, but he showed that the
number OF whisky.sellers had de-
creased a little in The last few years,
which is presumptive evidence that
less whisky is drunk than formerly,
The amount of whisky now in bond
is proof that the manufacture still
goes on at an enormous rate, If its
consumption has not increased.
Beer-driuking as compared with
whisky drinking is undoubtedly the
lesser evil of the two, aud there is
much less crime charged to beer than
to whisky. Beer makes the drinker
stupid-especially when it is adulter-
ated, as it too often is-while wills
ky "puts the devil in him" Beer,
however, has recently had a new and
serious charge laid at its door by the
last census, the returns showing that
Milwaukee, which makes and con
sumcs more beer chan any other city
of its size in the Union, had double
the number of suicides of other cit
les Of the same population. Is this
due to aduteraton, or what?

THE EMERALD MINE.
Lucky Lancaster Mon In Colora

The SaluertOn Democrat, published at
SilvertOn, Colorado, contains the follow.
ing editorial in reference to the Emerald
mine, OF which N. L. Slaymaker and G.
ID. Slaymaker, late Of Lancaster county,
are owners
"The Emerald mine, situated on Anvil
mountain, about one-half mile from town,
has lately como to the front as paying
property. We learn from Mr.. George
Robin, who together with his brother
Robert, is working the Emerald, as les
sees that the mine was discovered in
1876, by himself and Chas. COgan,
and a third interest was sold to N. E.
Slaymaker. Work was begun and has
since been prosecuted as steadily as Cir
cumstances would permit, Prior to the
advent of the railroad, but little ore was
found that would bear the expense en-
tailed by packing and wagon transporta-
tion. The workings consist of crOsscut
tunnel of 60 feet to cut the vein, a drift of
20 feet, and shaft Of some 80 feet.
Stopping out has been begun and the
lessees have about 90 tons of ore ready for
shipment. The slope contains at last 100
tons of ore which can be taken out at
slight expense and is expected to
yield handsome profit on the entire
cost of development. The vein averages
twelve inches in width, and the ore runs
from Is to 100 ounces in silver and from
eight to ten dollars in gold. We believe
the Emerald will ultimately rank among
the leading ore-producing mines of this
section, and parties who contemplate
mining investment in the vicinity of
SilvertOn would do we'll to carefully ex-
anime the position the Emerald is justly
entitled to hold as one Of the representa-
tive true fissure veins of the San Juan"
We learn that the Messrs. Slaymaker
now own the entire mine, having recently
purchased the shares held by other parties
IN. E. Slaymaker being the owner of
two-fifths and G. D. Slaymaker three.
fifths of the mine.

Heavy Losses by Fire.

The summer residence of Fairmar
Rogers, at Ochre Point, Newport, was
Monday morning destroyed by a fire
originating from defective register. The
loss is estimated at over 10000. About
$4,000 worth of furniture and valuable
articles wore saved. The family were to
occupy the house in about a week.-Two
warehouses and the glazing house of Smith
& Wyman, furniture manufacturers, OF
Minneapolis, were burned Monday after
noon. Loss, $35, ZOO.
The forest fire at Groton Pond, VT, last
Saturday afternoon, was the most destruc.
tive of the kind ever known in that state.
The fire started from burning brush, and,
famed bya fierce wind, destroyed the
depot, tho water house and 400 cords of
wood belonging to the Montpelier and
Wells river railroad, the mill property of
Alvan T. Baldwin, several tenements, %
freight cars filled with live stock and much
other property. Baldwin's loss is estima.
ted at 100000. Twenty families were
rendered homeless. The fire then burned
along to Peabody's station, three miles
distant, causing a loss to the railroad
company of $25, 900 alone. Several per-
sons narrowly escaped with their lives,
and one man was dangerously burned.
