Lost on the plains During i Cold Biz
gard.

Considerable anxiety was caused in this
city yesterday by the reception Of infor-
nation that n young man named Bacon
had become lost on the plains about the
V. B. ranch on Bear creek. Bacon is a
partner of Mr.. G. 7. Seabury, and for
some time has been staying tat the ranch
Of Gardner Brothers, commonly known
as the V. B. ranch, on Bear creek.
Tuesday he went out with a hunting
party in quest Of antelope. During the
hunt the several members of the party
became separated, but all returned to the
ranch but Bacon. He failed to appear
that night and as n cold blizzard was
sweeping the plains anxiety was felt as
to his safety. All day Wednesday an
unsuccessful hunt was made for traces of
the missing man and at night it seemed
almost certain hat he had persisted.
Telephone messages relating the par
tculaD of Bacon's disappearance
were sent to his friends in Cheyenne, but
communication was interrupted yesterday
and a feeling of apprehension was ag-
.grayated by the uncertainty of suspense.
Late last night THE LEADER received
a telephone message from the ranch Of
Gardner Brothers stating that Bacon had
been found.
1t seems he became lost but managed
e.
to keep a direct course which led him to
Horse creek, and after following that
stream a short distance he came to a
ranch twelve miles from Gardner's, where
he was obliged to remain until the search
ing party called at hat ranch while prose-
cutting the search. Yesterday afternoon
the party returned to Gardner's.
Bacon came here from Boston and has
a number of friends in this city whose
anxiety for his safety will be ended by the
information Of his safety herein contained.
As he has not been long in the county, as
the very low temperature made it impos-
sible for a man too long survive exposure
on the plains, and as he was moi found at
yesterday the fears hat he had per-
ished were certainly well grounded.

GOVERNMENT
The Public Domain to be eserred for
Actual Settlers Only.

In this western country, where there is
so large an area Of ~unoccupied public
lands, general interest is taken in the
action of congress regarding the repeal, or
amendment, Of the existing land laws.
Secretary Teller has recommended the
amendment of the homestead law, and in
his last report he endorsed the opinion of
the commissioner of the land Office that
combinations of homesteads should no
longer be permitted. The presumption
has long been a leading avenue of fraud,
and abuses have arisen under the desert
act. On the other hand it is claimed that
the repeal of the land laws is a measure
earnestly sought by the railroads and n
that will benefit them, as from them large
quantities Of land can alone be obtained
after the present laws shall cease to exist.
The bill now before congress has passed
the house and has been reported favora-
bly, by the senate committee, although
some changes are recommended by the
committee. In case the bill passes the
senate it will be returned to the house
where the alterations will have to be en-
dorsed ere it can become a law. There is
little prospect of the presidents veto be-
ing interposed and it is quite generally
thought that the bill will become a law
during this session of congress. In re
Spouse TO inquiries as to the probable fate
Of the bill Delegate Post, who SNOW in
Washington, yesterday telegraphed as fol-
|lows to E. W. Mann. of this city:
WAsHINGToN, Jan. l5.-The bill as
amended by the senate viii undoubtedly
become a law. GSigned] NJ. E. Posi-.
The bill repeats the presumption, desert
and timber culture acts and amends the
homestead act. By its provisions a citizen
can obtain butl60 acres of land, and title
to this can only be acquired by an actual
residence upon and the improvement of
the land. The law will probably go into
effect at an early day and in the mean
time the land offices will doubtless be
flooded with business.
So far as the law will prevent a monop-
oily Of landed estates by home or foreign
capitalists or syndicates, it must have
a wholesome effect. The barren desert
lands will not be wanted as homesteads,
but will afford an open range for cattle.
AS these ranges would be almost value
less if cut off from water, there will be a
scramble for the lands adjoining water
courses. The control Of these will give n
control of the desert lands. Those at all
familiar with the condition of ranch pro-
prietorship in Wyoming need not be told
that the cattlemen now located in this ter
ritory will have a monopoly, nor need they
be told of the practical effect of the new
land laws on this territory.

A wyoming Cattle RANCH.

From the Greeley Tribune.
Mr.. George L. Hutton of Laramie,
Wyo., last week purchased II, 900 acres
Of land from the Union Pacific, in the
Bull Mountain range in Northern Colo
RADIO.
This immense tract has the three great
requisites of a first-class range for cattle,
namely, plenty Of water, grass and shelter.
This tract is watered by a great number
Of neyer-falling mountain springs and by
the numerous tributaries Of Big Sand
creek. 1t is a well understood fact that
grazing is always good here and that the
grass is extraordinary heavy and nutri-
tious. AS for shelter, the draws in
the Bull Mountain range and in the
Chimney Rock hills are in reality nothing
but immense barns without a roof, and
they are so numerous and easy OF access
as to guarantee the successful wintering of
thousands Of cattle.

CARBON, Wyo., Jan 16.-1:30 a. NJ
There is but little excitement around the
mines to-day. The 300 men who refused
to go to work yesterday held a meeting
this morning and declared they would
not accept any settlement without Boss
Miner Larry Quealy's resignation being first
requested. Quealy resigned this after
noon. Superintendent of Coal Mines J.
M. Tisdale was here yesterday and held a
conference with the miners. When
Quealy's resignation was rendered
and accepted the miners blew the
whistles, rang the church bells, and shot
anvils IN a great ratification Of the event.
No one was under the influence
of liquor and the men seem
to be determined to carry their
point Seventy-ive Finlanders joined the
Knights Of Labor tonight, these being
the only men who had been working yes
terday. 1t is probable that no n will go
down tomorrow.
General Manager s. X. Galloway, Cen
eral Superintendent Smith and Assistant
General E. Dickinson were here last
evening and met a committee of the
miners. Nothing definite was learned re-
garding this conference. There is a rumor
that the company intend to send Chinese
labor here to work the mines, and the
miners seem to have no definite object in
view.
A special train with the party Of Union
Pacific officials will reach Cheyenne to-
morroW at noon.

From the Rock Springs. wyo.. Independent.
w. ]. Stewart, superintendent of the
Colorado and Wyoming stage line, ar
rived in Green River on Saturday last
from Fort Washakie. He left Lander
Thursday and says at that time there was
very little snow in the Wind River valley,
and that all cattle on the ranges were in
excellent condition. In the hills, how
ever, there was considerable snow. though
this is Of little consequence, as few stock
men are endeavoring to winter their cattle
outside Of the valleys.
From d. Payne and John Parea, whose
ranches are on Sage creek, thirty miles
south, We learn that cattle were never in
a better condition at this time of the year
than at present. The snow fell in hat
locality to a depth of six or eight inches,
but the recent warm winds and bright
weather have so far removed the snow as
to afford good grazing.

Attached to the east bound train yes
terday was the Pullman coach O0alaRa,
which came through direct from the
Pacific Coast. The train arrived here
shortly after u o'clock and was therefore
but two hours behind time. For nearly
four weeks the operation of the Oregon
Short Line has been retarded by heavy
snows, but the road is now clear and trains
will probably be regular over the line.
A new road through the region traversed
by the Oregon Short Line is subject to
certain disadvantages, but the track is
being protected from the snow, where the
heavy drifts seem liable to form, and ere
spring the sheds and fences will be ade-
quate to the needs of the line. The pas
scngers on the Pullman yesterday had a
