wANDnR1Ncs IN WYOMING.
some ofthe Natural Resources Of Ter
ritory Almost Unknown In the East.

Correspondence OF the NJ. Y. Graphic.
RAwLINs, Wyo. T., August 2S.-While
Montana has gone wild over the roundup
of its thieves, murders and other outlaws,
Wyoming at the present moment is ex-
cited over a more peaceful and altogether
more comfortable cause. There is to be a
new railroad built into the heart of the
Territory, and the people all along the
line of the Union Pacific are anxious to
find out the point of junction. Cheyenne
wants and expects it, Laramie City is
more or less sure oft, while Rawlins, the
wide-awake and rapidly growing metropo-
lis of Carbon county, is morally certain
that it is elected as the coming railroad
center. The object of this new road is to
open up and develop the enormous natu-
raj resources in the heart Of this vast Ter
ritory of 100, 900 square miles.
OF these resources the East knows
nothing. You New Workers know that
the Yellowstone park is in the northwest
corner of Wyoming; that it was near the
Big Horn mountains that Custer made
his last stand, that cattle and cowboys are
plenty here; that Cheyenne-enterprising,
go-ahead, prosperous, solid Cheyenne-is
here; and what else do you know about it,
except that the Union Pacific cuts across
Wyoming on the south, and that the
Northern Pacific is a near neighbor to the
opposite boundary line?
But do not feel crushed by your ignor-
ance-that was all | knew about it till l
came here a few weeks ago. Since then
l have had my eyes opened very wide, for
these, among a mass of lesser things, are
what | have found out.
First-Wyoming has the largest deposit
of hematite iron ore in the world.
Second-Wyoming has deposits of lig-
mite coal larger than the total coal area of
Pennsylvania.
Third-Wyoming has the only natural
deposits of soda in the world.
Fourth-Wyoming has a petroleum ba-
sin larger than the combined oil fields Of
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Hfth-Wyoming is to have the next
boom. 1t will be big enough to astonish
the whole country, and it will come to
stay.
The iron, the coal, the soda and the oil
l have personally inspected and know
they are here. The boom we will sec
presently.

THREATENED DEcApITArIoN.
Pacific officials Who are said to
he in Danger.

from the Chicago Times.
The air was full of rumors yesterday of
impending official changes ON the Union
Pacific. If all reports were to be credited,
tie revolution is likely to be a sweeping
one, but so general is the report that
there is little doubt that several important
changes will take place beford October /.
The entire aggregation known as the
CLARK c%oterie'' have been marked by
Dame Rumor for decapitation, but it
is doubtful if General Manager Gala
way will consider it expedient to draw the
line SO conspiciously. Among those who
regarded as morally certain to leave the
service are J.. w. Morse,i General Pas
senger Agent; p. p. Shelly. General
Freight Agent; p. j. Nichols, Superin-
tendent Nebraska division; A. A. Egbort,
Superintendent Colorado division, and
w. B. Doddridge, Superintendent Idaho
division.
There seems to be little doubt that
George c. Kimball, General Manager of
the Chicago & West Michigan, will be
appointed General Superintendent of the
Union Pacific. He is now making 4 trip
over the line, and it is thought to be set
tied that he will accept service with the
road.

JupIcIAL GOOD LICK.
A supreme Court Judge and His Big
Piles of Gold.


From the Laramie Boomerang,
Hon. j. B. Blair for some time has
been interested in several different quartz
lodges, in Wyoming and New Mexico F;
but none of his ventures seemed to re-
turn sufficiently large assays to please the
Judge. This morning he pulled from his
pocket a specimen OF quartz, literally
glistening with free gold, and informed us
the vein is four feet two inches between
walls, with tons on tons Just like the sam
pie in sight. The mine from which this
piece of exceedingly rich mineral was
taken is within forty-two miles of Lara
ME. The ore is the richest we ever saw
in the Territory, and will run away up
into the thousands, if not into the tens of
thousands.

POLICE ETCHINGs.
A Row in ChicagO--Mrs. DIR. Mulrhead
Again.

Three fair, frail damsels, who reside in
the Chicago precinct, came up before
Judge Lee yesterday and donated sl3
each to the judicial Golfers. One of them
in particular showed the effects of a little
disagreement that happened on the preyi-
Gus evening.
The officers received notice of a row
which was in full blast at the tenement in
which the tattooed damsels reside. When
they arrived at the place of disturbance
they found the proprietress lying on a
lounge, her head terribly laceated and
the remnants of a broken pitcher lying
promiscuously around. The inmates
claimed that a stranger had entered and
commenced to abuse the landlady and
finally ended the performance by break
ing a pitcher over her head. This was
the story told by them and they stuck to
it presistently.
Mrs. DIR. Muirhead, whose antics were
related in yesterdays LEADER, is at lib
erty again. On Tuesday she appeared
before his honor in such n condition as re-
suits from imbibing too generously the
juice of the grape The performances
which she went through were similar to
those rendered at a Black Crook panto-
mime and his honor had to use all his
authority to get rid of her ponderous
presence. The well known specialist is
too trusting and must, in the future,
avoid the little indiscretions of which she
has been guilty.

A MARRIoR RoLp.
Another Crank Gets Excited and Comes
TO Grief.

He came in slowly and surveyed the
establishment as if he wished to buy the
entire concern. After gazing at every
nook and corner, crack and crevice he
stepped up to one of the clerks, and. in
Teutonic English, wanted to know if they
wanted a cook.
The clerk, with a smile which becomes
natural to vendors of silks, laces and other
dry goods, informed him that they did
not, Not at all abashed, the inquirer
began to state his record.
He was from Omaha, the city of much
need and frequent showers. Unfortun-
ately he was in as bad a financial condi-
ton as a busted Leadville bank, and the
contents of his pocket-book were below
h~igh-water mark. People did not respect
him as they should. Then he informed
the clerk in stentorian tones that he was a
warrior and would not submit to insult.
!. just then the proprietor came to the
front. He looked as if dyspepia had
knocked him out in four rounds and
consumption had a chattle mortgage on
his frame. He approached the warrior
and told him to go u
The bold, bad man did not move, but
it was plain to perceive that his courage
was of Bob Acres sort. The proprietor
was as impatient as a confident candidate
awaiting the election returns. Heclasped
the warrior in what is termed by Greco-
Roman asperants, a Nelson lock, and in
less than a second the warrior fell on the
walk.
He didn't stop to say goodbye but
picked himself up and started on his
journey. The last seen of him was at the
City Hall, where he was interviewing the
Marshal on the subject of a night Y
lodgings.

A Road to the Marias.

The great question which agitates the
minds of the residents of the lower Te.
ton and Marias Is a new practicable road
one which will accommodate the set
tiers on the Missouri as we'll. MANY
plans have been devised to bring about
this result, and the universal opinion of
all is to turn the current of the Teton
into a new channel in two places, which
can be done with little expense, and by
this means secure q road under the bluffs
to the old fourth crossing road, which
with little repair can be made an easy
grade and travel not diverted from it's
old channels. AS it is now there are
several ranches which might be taken
up if this plan is adopted. It has be-
come a necessity that the county should.
build a road this winter, for in case the
reservation is thrown open the present
roads will not do, and travel will be di-
verted from Benton therefore some
action should be taken at once to pre-
vent this. One resident Of that locality
said he would willingly take the con
tract for $500 and furnish bonds to COM
plete the road to the fourth crossing,
Something Of the kind should be done
at once.

light. The old gentleman was wrapped

all night to keep from freezing. When

WoIF CREEK, Mt, Dec. Is, 1884.
Editors Of the River Press:
During the past summer and fall sew
eral bands of Indians have been through
the Judith Basin, driving horses which
had evidently been stolen. Their dep
relations have not been confined to
stealing horses. Their boldness induces
them to enter the cabins Of ranchmen
and steal provisions. A party was seen
last week with fifty or sixty head Of
stolen stock, going towards the Bears
Paw mountains, and stealing from every
camp they came to. At the range cabin
on the Judith a camp Of six hunters
were left without anything. but only
three were enabled to follow them, the
others having good excuses. We thought
at first they could be overtaken on lower
Wolf creek, but they left during the
night. One old hunter Of the party who
was following the Indians said he wish
ed he could pull his ''old Marlin on
them. We followed on all the forenoon
and caught up with them on Arrow
creek, in the bad land country. Then
the man with the s'old Marlin said:
"Gentlemen, 7 have an interesting fam
lily consisting Of a wife and five Chill
dren, and they need me badly. I do
not propose to trail after them / or
twelve Indians any further. You may
call it coWardice or what you please.n
The rest Of US persuaded him to go on
with us, and we followed them until
they camped. We came upon them In
the Arrow creek bottoms, where they
were hid in the brush. We then con-

that there were enough now to corral
them. Night coming on we procured
meat from the hunters and laid on our
arms all night. In the morning it was
found that four of the party had lame
horses, SO we were obliged to give up
the pursuit, aud the Indians were al
