CGUR D'ALENE.
A Returned Cheyenneite Speaks of
the Situation There.
The Big Rush is Over and Hundreds
are Leaving.

Mr.. Daniel Murray. an old resident OF
Cheyenne aud well known to most of our
people, and who is moreover, a sagaciOus
observer and a reliable man, came in night
before last direct from the far famed CGur
d'Alene mines in the northern portion of
the territory of Idaho. Mr.. Murray left
this city some months ago for the new
gold fields, and has since her been one
of the number who have sought to make
something out of the situation as il exists
in hat region. He stated to THE LEADER
reporter that he disliked to say very much
about the mine, for it was not his desire
to influence any one to either go there or
stay away. So far as he was concerned if
he had been satisfied with the situation
there he should not have come back, and
yet, some others if they had seen what he
saw there, might, unlike himself, have
been perfectly satisfied with the prospects
and situation. In regard 10 the finding
of gold there, he says that it is found
there, but whether in paying quantities
was a question that as yet remains undo
termined. Some think it will. while it
must be confessed that a great many are
discouraged. When the snow, which is
nov melting away very fast, has disap-
peared so that there will be no impedi-
ment in the way of a thorough and effect.
ual prospecting of the country, it NAV
transpirc that something far better than
has yet been found will be unearthed and
brought to light. While he thought that
this might be the case, vet Mr.. Murray did
not himself appear to be very hopeful
that it would prove so. There are several
little camps clustered near together in
what the outside world terms the Cour
d'Alene mines. The largest of these
camps is M~urraville, and in addition to
this there is Eagle Rock and three other
small camps all lying quite near together
yet separate and distinct camps. There
are at present in the judgment of the
gentleman about 1000 people in these
camps and not so many as there were.
While ii is It fact that some are going
into the mines constantly yet it lisa fact
also that many more are leaving. In fact,
as Mr.. Murray expressed it, The big
rush is over. II costs a man 81 per day
for board and lodging in the mines, 81 per
meal being the regular price, and this
consists only of pork and bean and some
other little matters in the way of eatables.
If you want 4 potato or an egg it costs
twenty-five cents extra. The price of
lodging per night is invariably the sum of
81. The nearest point from which to
reach the mines is-from the west across
Lake Ponpadore on which runs a small
steamer which takes passengers to a point
within six miles of Eagle Rock, and from
the east the nearest route which is at all
accessible il via Belknap a point only
about thirty-five miles from the mines.
MIR. Murray manifestly has no intention
of returning to the mines unless some
thing excessively rich is found there, and
he does not anticipate this.

THE IoSEER HOOKS.
An Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last
Night.

Night.
The members of the Pioneer Hook and
Ladder company held an enthusiastic
meeting at their rendezvous last evening,
Foreman Miller presiding and Harry
Blake officiating as secretary. There
were a large number in attendance and
the boys were feeling quite encouraged
and gratified at the situation and affairs
of this old and reliable company which
has stood in the front in 50 many desper-
ate battles with the elements when the
city was endangered and almost ON the
verge of destruction. The present mem
bership of the company is upwards of
sixty-fve and last evening wo new mem
bers, Hon. Alfred jackson and John
johnson. by unanimous vote, were re
ceived into the company. The meeting
last night was to a great extent an in
formal one, and although many import
ant matters were discussed, yet no def
mite action was taken by the company ex-
cept in regard to a few things. Back dues
to the amount of $3.50 were paid in.
The financial affairs of the company are
in a very satisfactory condition
Certificates oi exemption from jury
service and poll tax, in accordance with
the recent act of the Legislature, were is
sued by the secretary to such members of
company as are entitled to them.
Several matters were discussed in which
Messrs. Kabis, Miller, Blake. Rutledge,
FallOn and others participated, after
which the meeting was adjourned.

Watch, Chain and Rings Forced from a
Woman.

Yesterday a man, who has not Il yet
given his name to the officers, went to the
residence of Miss Blanche Porter, and
there found also another young woman
with whom he had u conversation about
some previous slight acquaintance They
did not agree it appears, and eventually
there was considerable trouble between
the two. Not very much i, related BY the
parties interested as to all that occurred
between them while at the house. The
outcome Of the affair was that the man
got possession of three rings belonging to
the girl, and finally forcibly took from her
possession a valuable gold watch and
chain, The thief then beat a hasty re-
treat from the place. Miss Porter went
ut once to the Court house and found
Sheriff Sharpless to whom she related the
story. Sheriff Sharpless started at once
to find the fellow, and from the descrip-
ton given by Miss Porter he was not
long in discovering him. lie attempted
to escape, but after a hard chase he was
captured and taken to the Court house,
where he was searched. The three rings
were found with him, but no watch and
chain. He was placed in Jail, and will
doubtless have an examination to-day.
In regard to the taking of the articles
there is probably another side to the story,
which will be told when the proper time

Our readers ar. already very familiar
with the case OF Fred Hope alias Fred
elcomc who was arrested in Cheyenne
some four years ago for the murder of
young Turner, at Park City, in Utah. He
was twice convicted Of murder in the first
degree, but twice was the Judgment re
versed by the supreme court of that
territory. For The past few days his
third trial IN the same charge has been
in progress and !. Jeff Carr and Officer
Thomasson went 10 Salt Lake last week
to testify in regard to some admissions
made by the defendant at the time of his
arrest in Cheyenne. Yesterday morning
the following telegram was received here:
SALT LAKE, May !, 1854.
Welcomes third jury out one hour.
Verdict murder first degree.
Y. JEFF CARR.
Later in the day Officer Thomasson
returned to Cheyenne and from him we
learn that the trial was a protracted one
and hotly contested on both sides. When
the verdict ofthc jury was announced the
defendant never hinched nor showed the
sign of emotion, and when he with
drew from the court room in charge of
the officers he went with Il firm step and
head erect. Welcome will hardly succeed
escaping the penalty of his crime this
time. Under the laws Of Utah he can
take his choice in the mode of execution
shooting or hanging.
