LOADED FOR EMERGENCIES
The Adventures ofthe Representative of
Capitalists and Railroads.


Several days ago a tall man, who wore a
fuii beard and fairly good clothes, APP
pearod in the city. The man had two no
tooable eharacteriatics;h he shaved circular
spot in the middle Of his chm and he wac
always drunk The former habit gave to
his face an unusual, IL not a distinguished
appearance, and the latter was evidently
a confirmed one, which lacked but little Of
being a mania. He stated that his name
was X. w. Champion, and that he had
been sent to this city in behalf Of the Bur
lington & Missouri road to look over the
ground for a line from La Sale to Chey-
enne, and possibly northward through the
territory. He displayed railroad passes,
and gave other documentary evidences
Of his identity. He also carried proofs Of
his genius. Indeed, he was loaded for
emergencies.
A few nights ago he appeared at one of
the editorial rooms in this city and gave
to a reporter n full account of the plans of
his surveying corps, but closed his narra-
tive with a request that it be not pub
lished. Then he exhibited a printers
rule and assured the reporter that he was
one Of the Oldest printers in the country.
Bitter experience had taught the reporter
what was coming. It came. Byrequest,
the reporter took up a collection in the
composing room and the man departed.
While sitting in a restaurant about an
hour later the reporter mentioned the oc-
c%urrence. A telegrapher present seemed
to be interested in the casual remark and
the following conversation ensned.
Telegrapher-s"TaIl MANI"
Reporter-''Yes."
Long beardS"
Yes"
SLAVES CHM"
"Ump-umph.
Stout BREATH
Very"
Name crampton?'
80 he says"
Came to my Office last night. Said
he was third oldest operator in United
States Had the trade slang pat. Got
a dollar from me-"
A few moments afterwards it was
learned that Champion had worked
every reporter in the city and had visited
all Of the telegraph Offices. 1t is also
stated that he manage to borrow 500 of a
leading territorial official.
Yesterday a tall man with hole shaved
out Of the center Of his beard was stood
up before Justice Lee. 1t was Champion.
He had been drunk for a week, and ergo,
he was penniless. He now strokes his
long beard while he PAGES the corridors Of
the city jail, but he still preserves his
stately dignity. During the next week
the Burlington & Missouri will miss its
special agent, and the Boston syndicate
of capitalists" of whom he casually
speaks, will wonder what has become Of
their representative.

A Thrilling scene.


The Office of the Inter Ocean hotel is
now more or less adorned by a large oil
painting. At least it is painted on can
vas. In the foreground is the wreck Of
a buggy, beneath which is the form of a
man. Lying near at hand is a bottle and
a hat, and in the distance a horse is run
ming away. The background consists Of a
row Of disreputable looking one story
buildings. One Of these Is lettered with
the following legend: Mansion House.
Meals Is to 25 cents. Open all night. "
This is the most disreputable looking
house in the disreputable looking row.
Standing near a convenient lamp post is a
man who quite closely resembles Mr.. John
Chase. and who is supposed to be saying,
II escaped unhurt." Various little re-
ferences were added TO the sketch just be-
fore the train arrived from Denver. and
when Mr.. John Chase entered the hotel
the Office was filed with people who were
anxious to see him. The canvass is eight
feet square and attracts much attention.
Mr.. Tom Branson is accused of being the
patron and protector ofthe work.

Oliver d, Byron and his company APP
peared at the opera house last evening in
Rags and Bones. The drama is based
on an old hackneyed plot. A poor young
man in love with a girl a rich man also
loves her; ein actually prefers poor youth;
nch n a seeming aaint, but an actual
sinner he causes arrest of younger man
for robbery; abducia girl; young man, by
extraordinarily strange circumstances,
proves his innocence, regains girl. and
everything is lovely. Two attempted
murders. a fire, and a live donkey are
added by way Of variety. The play was
well acted, however. Indeed, it was given
for all it was worth. Mr.. Byron was
good. as usual, and the support was fully
up TO tile standard. 1t is really a pity
that 40 talented a young actor us Mr..
Byron should waste his time and oppor.
t~unities upon inferior plays. The audi
enc was not large, but was apprecia-
tive.

MORE TESTIMONY.



Mr.. d. Sheedy, the we'll known cattle
man. and whose interests are perhaps
larger than those of any single stock
grower in this region. arrived from Colo
RADIO last evening. In conversation with
Representative of The LEADER Nh. Shee-
dy stated that ne received weekly reports
from his foreman, who has been riding
over his ranges on the north side Of the
North Platte. This range is in Nebraska,
adjoining the eastern boundary Of Wyo-
ming. The foreman returned to the
ranch the other day, after a ride over the
ranges which it required seven days to
complete. During this hunt the bottoms
along the river, where weak cattle would
naturally gather, were examined from
Camp Clark to Spotted Tail. and but few
dead cattle were found.
There have been but two bad storms in
that region this winter and the cattle are
all in the hills. The loss has certainly not
been greater than usual, and, indeed, con-
sists in the main of the natural and reason
able mortality which must exist in large
herds In the country referred to there
are fully 1000 cattle, most of which are
owned by Mr.. Sheedy, and in all Of that
vast herd not 100 head of cattle have died
this winter. The cattle consist ofmixed lots
and many Texas cattle are now on the
range. He added 5000 Texas cattle to this
herd last fall. Some cattle have drited
in from other ranges during the winter,
but all are doing well. Mr.. Sheedy
added that horses and cattle wintered
remarkably well in that region this winter.
The loss will be in6nitesimal.

A MINING BOOM
A Description Of Rich IRE From The
silver Crown.


The most beautiful and valuable ore Of
copper yet produced in Wyoming or
Colorado has just been discovered in the
King David mine in the Silver Crown
district, Laramie county, Wyo., twenty
one miles west from Cheyenne. The
mine is owned by Mr.. Ferguson, to whom
Is indebted a great amount Of credit for
his energy and p~ertinacity in the face of
great difficulties which he has, with the
assistance Of business men Of Cheyenne,
surmounted.
The elegant specimens are composed of
native cupric sulphide in blush black
hexagonal plates and spheroidal masses,
known to mineralogists as ''covelIin.n As
sociated with it is a cuprous sulphide, oc-
curing native as copper glance Or rednth-
lite in lead gray ~hexagonal prisms be-
longing to the rhombic system of crys-
tails, probably united with sulphides Of
anthony, arsenic and bismuth. This ore
is always associated with heavy silver.
With it also is seen tetrahedrite, and
beautiful specimens of crystalized malachi
lite, or the green carbonate of copper,
also the erubescite or purple copper in
various monometric forms of crystalli-
zation.
The depth Of the mine is n little over
sixty feet, well timbered, with an inclined
shaft approximating to about fifteen or
twenty degrees from perpendicular.
Two mines nearly alongside of the King
David, known as the Stanton Copper
King, and the Good Venture, have the
purple copper erahercite. with streaks Of
the same ore as the King David. but not
yet down to the same depth. The chief
ore now reached in these mines is a fail
ore and is a cuprosoberric sulphide.
Within a few hundred feet are other
good prospects which are likely to produce
similar ore at like depths. The ores Just
developed always carry a large amount of
silver. and though l have not analysed
the specimen ret I am satisfied il will
assay largely in silver.
This ia a smelling ore, very heavy in
copper aud when the sulphur Is partly
eliminated, will be very easily reduced.
Wyoming has reason to be proud Of the
rich find within her borders, and it is GER
tainly the most valuable ore of copper en-
masse yet found in the West. The APP
proaches to these mines, or rather pros
poets, for they can hardly be called mines
at so small a depth from the surface, is
very good, by a wagon road to within 200
feet of the development.
The specimen in my possession will
probably run about rs per cent copper.
My many years of experience in copper
ores iusti6es me in saying that neither in
Colorado or Wyoming has anything equal
to it ever been found. It is very little
less than native copper, and much more
easily worked. PRoF. L. J. STANTON.

saults. 1t concludes Il recent reference
TO territorial officers by stating that Chey-
enne has 6,OO0 of the $4,000 people in
Wyoming. The Boomerang is not cor
rcctly informed. This city has TO- 900 of
the $4,000 people in Wyoming. The
other $1,000 live in various portions of
the territory. The deficiency of 1000 is
accounted for by reason of a mistake made
by the census officials, who included 1000
kickers in Laramie among the people Of
the territory.

Editor GEAPHIc:

Editor GRAPHIC:
I see by the last issue
Of the Chamberlain Register that its
editor has been propounding some
very pertinent questions to the
Attorney General, and likewise giving
the President some very consequential
talk which, no doubt, Will have a
very salutary effect on the admins
t-ation. AS Mr.. Cleveland has not
only shown great respect for the
opinion Of eminent %inrists, but has
sought to put himself in ~communica-
ton with them he undoubtedly will
rejoice that another is added. 1t is
barely possible that he never had
heard of the editor Of the Register,
if so ! presume that he has discovered
by this time that he has been very
unfortunate and henceforth will en-
deavor to be benen,ted by his counsel.
But | see by the communication that
Mr.. King omitted one, to my mind,
very important item in giving some
thing of his experience, which is that
he was at one time a member of the
firm of King, Kellam; Goodykosntz,
Stearns e Co. OF course he need
not have told that he furnished the
brains for the company, SO that the
President and Attorney Geaeral
would undoubtedly have got the i'm
preston that they We're all eminent
~jurists like himself which would, I'M
doubtedly, made a more profound
impression (if possible) than the very
forcible language which he did use. |
think the President and Attorney
both must have been very busy OF
they most certainly would have
entered more fully into the discussion
of the subject. 1t is barely possible
that the depths of knowledge shown
by the question propounded by the
learned and experienced att orney $,
paralyzed them that their presence d
mind might for a time have left then
!, if so We shall hear more from then
when they recover. The Presiden
