A Murderous Onslaught on the Chinese.

CHEYENNE. Sept. 2.-The Leader las the
following special from Rock SPRINGS, Wyom-
ing: The largest coal mines In the entire
Union Pacific system are 1t Rock Springs,
$50 miles west Of Cheyenne. The company
recently imported large number Of Chinese
to take the places Of the white men. This
afternoon the entire force Of white miners,
about $50 strong, organized, and armed with
shotguns, marched to Chinatown.
After firing volIsy into the air, they re.
loaded and ordered The Cinnamon to leave.
The order WAS obeyed 1t once, the China
men fleeing to the hills like . drove Of sheep,
closely pursued by the miners, who fred
several volleys st the fugitives, with fatal
effect. The Chinese quarters were then set
on fire, and thirty nine houses, owned by
the company, were destroyed, with their
contents. The miners next visited the W
rious mines In the camp, unearthed all the
Cinnamon 1t work therein, and bid them
dee for their lives. or the 400 Cinnamon
here this morning, not one remains. All
are In the adjacent hills heading for Green
River, fourteen miles distant. 81
Seven we're killed outright By the shots

wounded. 1t 10 said thst several who were
feeble aad helpless from disease persisted In
the flames. Sheriff Young arrived from
Green River ON special train this evening
with posse Of deputies, but too late 10 pre-
vent the mob from carrying out their plans.
The miners quietly dispersed after making
sure OF the departure Of the elestials, and

HERPEoPLE's REMARKS

On her last great voyage the steamship
"Etruris" collected In passage money $50,-
600. She received from her government
money enough for carrying the mails TO pay
for her coal. Her cargo and express matter
more than paid oil her other expenses. The
"Etruris" cost $l,250,0oO. Interest on
money on realty IN Great Britain Is only
three per cent; four per cent. Is held n
large interest. The "Etruria" cleared four
per cent. on her cost by that six days, five
hours and thirty-one minutes work. SINH.

coasts almost daily. Can any one estimate

continued the publication OF the paper for
several years, when he sold out TO A. b

an independent journal kiser published
the Madisonidn until December !, 1854, when
he sold the establishment 10 Tom Baker, who
had filed the position of editor and loca

1t is needless TO say much. He came to Mon

tons on the Courier, ut BozemaE, and on the

''rHE BurTE MINER"
In 1876, at Virginia City, the Kontanian
was absorbed by the Madisonian. This left
II. T. Brown, who had been manager of the
Montaaian, out OF job. Brown, rapid
compositor aud first-class practical printer,
landed ia Montana In 1851. For years be
filed positions on the Montana Post, the New
NOkTH-W EST the MONtQNi0N anu OS0cr Jour
mails. The death of the Montaniaa left Brown
adrift, but rustler Ike Brown would not
remain long in idleness. The Butte boom
had fairly started, and Brown drift. ed into
the rising mining camp. He formed . part
nership with Mills 8 Kessler, and com.
menced the publication Of the Butte Miner.
The first number Of the Miner was issued on
june 1, 1876. It was first printed on the
Warrington hand press formerly used by the
Madisonim: The Miner prospered from the
start, and from tri-weekly became daily.
For long Tune, and before any other paper
was started Ia Butte, the Miner was power

ing the Developments Of the immense mineral
resources Of the Butte district Since the

Whitewood Placers.

Pioneer: The placer miners on lower
Whitewood are all busy from a point
opposite S. c. Fargo & Sons store to a
short distance below the Falls. Every
claim is being opened up for sluicing.
Jack McAleer is at work on his old
claim that he worked with profit in rs,
and has uncovered his old bedrock
tiume under eight feet of gravel, and
found it to be as perfect as when he left.
it. In a short time he will be ready TO
take out dust. Bedrock Tom has a force
of men on his claim working digging
bitches to turn the water, LAYING boxes
and ~sluices, and in a few days will make
a cleanup.
Messrs. Williams and Higgins have
leased Fargo's claim and like beavers
are making the dirt fly.
The Turner boys on the old site OF
Montana City, are and have been sluic.
ing for some time, and taking out eight
dollars per day to the man, with p..enty

There is the greatest activity along

The Other Side.

We find in the Chicago Inter-Ocean
that a bill was filed in the circuit court
Of that city on May 22d regarding the
affairs of the Greenwood company, the
compliments comprising all the stock
holders Of the company excepting
Latin:
n = y They now charge hat Latin
has acted unlawfully in trying to Gust
them out Of the management and pros
pective profits of the enterprise. For
this purpose it is claimed, he conspired
with Robert Flormann, Isaac b Ham
mond, and Louis Z. Latin, his grandson,
to deprive the compliments of all control
Of the mines and to wreck the property
by pretended judgments. In the mean
time mills, both for saving wood and for
stamping ore, had been built on the
property in Dakota, and houses, Offices,
and sheds were erected and machinery
put in altogether to the value of several
thousand dollars. The assays made are
said to have shown an average profit Of
81 to 80 a ton, with but 81 per ton ex-
pense in stamping, and the capacity of
the mills brought to $500 tons per week.
1t Is further said that to superintend this
Robert Flormann was appointed by Mr..
Latin at a yearly salary Of $1,000, with
out the authority or concurrence Of the
other stockholders. Joseph Taylor
ousted Flormann on his return from
Europe in October last. Then Latin
appointed, also without authority, it is
said, Isaac b. Hammond at a much
larger salary, and has since tried to keep
Taylor out Of all control. Latin il
further said to have removed the books
of the concern to his own office, and to
refuse sight of them to all other stock
holders, claiming superior rights. Latin
has olso begun suits in Deadwood, ID. T.,
against Joseph Taylor, claiming SlGG,O 900
damages for having been induced by
Taylor to engage in the scheme, and also
obtained a judgment for $l7l 900 in
against he concern, and be-
gan another suit in Custer county against
fhe stockholders, claiming $4,000. The
complainants in conclusion claim that
by mismanagement Of Latin and those
under him the property is in
danger of passing entirely out Of the
hands of the complainants and being
S swallowed up in litigation. An injunc
ton is asked to prevent the sale Of the
whole property, as well as tho so-called
illegal annual election of officers on May
2S. The bill is filed by M. N. Jones, as
solicitor.

Indians.

Silver City, N. NJ, May 2S.-The
Apaches are making a bloody trail
through this section. 1t is now thought
that three or four different bands are
depredating and numbering in as many
different sections of the territory. The
hostiles number about three hundred
four chiefs are with them. This morn
ing the corpses Of a Mexican, his wife
and three children we're found five miles
from here. Another Mexican is known
to have been killed in the same vicinity,
and his companion badly wounded. A
posse Of citizens left here last night, and
returned to-day for supplies and fresh
horses. They report numerous ranches
on the Bear creek sacked, horses stolen
and cattle killed. An Indian trail was
followed from there to the Pinos Altos
foot hills. The Indians approached
within four miles effort Bayard. Three
troops of cavalry are now in pursuit. II
is reported that the Indians are doubling
back on the old trail in the direction OF
Bear creek. This band numbers about
eight. Another band on the CHA river
drove off 1870 head of horses. Two
couriers are missing.

Gen. Terry has been notified that
Gabriel Dumont, Riel's right hand,man
Is now in custody at Fort A~ssinaboine.
1t appears that he had fled across the
border, and was found on the Milk
river trail in company with another of
the rebels. The department at Wash
ington has been asked for instructions
as to the disposition of the prisoners,
and the decision is likely to raise some
interesting questions, and possibly in
ternational complications. Doubtless a
great deal will depend on the nature OF
the charge brought against them by the
Canadian government. Should the &C,
cusation be political in character, the
government of the United States might
not feel justified in surrendering them
1t is probable, however, that the Cana,
,dians will make a strong case. it being
exceedingly important for them to sc.
cure possession of Dumont, the man
whose influence they have even greater
eason to dread than that of Riel. With
him in the tolls there would be little
danger Of another outbreak like the one
that has just collapsed. 1t may be ex-
pected, however, that the sympathizers
of the rebels will do all in their power
to prevent his extradition.
Later-Dumont has been given his
liberty by the u. s.. authorities.
