Douglas Town Lot Sale.

The sale Of town lots began at Doug
lls Tuesday afternoon at > o'clock under
the supervision of +. Whitney, of the
Western Town Lot company. The day
was cold and damp, but the inclemency
nf the weather only seemed to stimulate
were sold daring the afternoon, ranging
in prices from three to six hundred dol
lars.
Wednesday the day was more pleasant
and buvers went for lots with e%agerness,
and ut noon l37 lots had been sold, the
aggregate sales amounting to $4,000.
The highest price paid was $1,000 for II
corner lot hy the First National bank.
Other corner lots sold at prices from
1925 down, and one inside lot brought
500.
Capitalists were present from FREE
mont, Cheyenne and other points on
the Union Pacific road, and they made
investment as If they had great conf
dence in the future prosperity of Doug
las. 1t would appear that the Cheyenne
people were assured Of the building to
Douglas as the Cheyenne and Northern
road from the very deep interest they
manifested in the sales.
The townsite il located on the east
side of the Platte river on a plateau
sloping gracefully toward the river, and
is the best site for a city to be found in
that country. The Douglas people are
sanguine in the belif that both the 3. &
X. and Cheyenne roads will cross the
Northwestern at that point, and their
opinions are strengthened by the fact
that both lines have made Surveys
through Douglas.

Considering the extent ami VARIETY OF
the mineral resources of this country it
j. strange that a better understanding
of their economical development does
not more generally prevail. Mining
operations in the coal, iron, coppcr and
lead fields throughout the country have
been prosecuted with varying successes
for years, and the vicissitudes have not
been considered different from those at
tending the prosecution Of other lines #
business. Gold and silver mining has
been largely misjudged and misnnder-
stood by people generally. especially by
capitalists and investors Of surplus mon
ey. The idea too universally prevails
that all mining operations are hazardous
and uncertain in their results, that
mining as a whole has been an eX-
p~ensive and Improbable industry.
Statements are common, and reappear
with periodic regularity, that every
dollars worth Of gold and silver taken
out Of the ground required two dollars
TO be put in, etc. In proof of such base
less statements the dividend tables Of a
few stock companies are scanned and
the amount Of public dividends paid to
stockholders are set against the assumed
| cost of mining and stock Investments
and the balance drawn. As a matter of
fact it is well known by those cognizant
Of the real condition that not one mine
in one hundred that is returning a salts
factory profit to the operators, ever has
made Il public announcement of this
profit. Throughout the entire mining
country. old and new, there are thous-
ands of private mining properties work
ed by a few men that have for years
Welded IA bountiful return for every
dollar Of money and day of labor put
into them and no public mention has
been made of the fact. In addition to
these mines is Il larger number that, if
not yielding a surplus Of profit, have
furnished q livelihood to Il large class Of
industrious men, and sill beyond this
there is an important class ofindividual>
who have lived, and, in many instances,
prospered by single handed efforts with
the most primitive methods, on isolated
and scattered claims, or in working over
what others have wasted.
Compared upon the same basis with
agriculture, which in numherle@s in
stances affords but the scantiest living;
or to merchandising, which is proverbi-
ally uncertain or To manufacturing,
subject to the fluctuations Of supply and
demand, or, in fact, To any enterprise in
which capital and energy have engaged
and the Industry of mining, when justly
considered, will show greater security
and larger regular profits.
Not only are the direct cash returns
from investment Of labor and capital in
mining operations to be counted, but
this industry must be largely credited
with the multitudinous enterprises tla'
spring mp by its side and live upon it

During the past few weeks there have

night and day break, II Ia thoug.s) On at-
tempt wss made TO enter the dry-goods
store Of fourqurean, Price a Co. Their
establishment has IN entrance on Broad
and one on Fifth street. The psrtiss
were frightened away by the barking OF
a dog in the back yard Of . gentleman
who lives near by.
An examination Of the premises BY
the police showed that the thieves went
through the rear premises OF Q house
fronting on Grace street, ascended .
tree. got on top Of a stable, and then
attempted to prize out the iron grating
Of q window in the second story Of the
annex of Messrs. Fourqurean, Price q
Co.'S store, fronting on Fifth street.
The noise made in the attempt was
heard by Q dog in the yard, which
barked furiously and caused tho thieves
to leave. They then got upon the roof
Of the main building, and, forcing out
the iron bars Of Mrs. b. W. COsby's
kitchen-window, entered the same and
went to the millinery department
(which is over the dry-goods store),
where they ransacked the drawers Of
the desk, but failed to get anything.
Upon leaving these premises. the
thieves, by means Of ladder which
they found at Mrs. Cosby's, descended
to the yard in rear Of Elsom's Labor
Agency and made their escape. Doubt
less they entered Mrs. Cosby's estsb.
lishment thinking it was the upper
floor of the dry-goOds store.
Between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday
morning Officers Wren, Shields, aud b..
NJ. Angle, while in the alley between
Broad and Marshall and Second and
Third streets, heard a noise in the rear
of Behle's shoe.store, which sounded
like some one jumping over fences.
This was followed by the barking Of 3
dog. The officers secreted themselves,
when presently negro boy was seen
toNump over the fence into the alley
and start to run, when they stopped
him. The boy was in his stocking-fset
and had his coat turned wrong side out.
his shoes were in his hand. When ar
rested the boy said his name was
George White, but refused to
give an account OF himself. He
was taken to the station.house
and locked up. When his case was
called in the Police Court yesterday
morning White said that he was from
Hanover county, but had been in the
city for some time that he had been
sleeping under Q shed in Mr.. Behle's
back yard for the past three nights ;
that yesterday morning the dog got
after him, and he was getting out Of its
way when the police grabbed him. He
was required to give bond in the sum
of sl0O for his good behavior for six
months, and was sent to jail in default.

Hore Trouble Ahead for Them.

Ida Lee was before the Police court
yesterday morning charged with being
drunk on Sunday and being person Of
improper character. When asked by
Justice Ryall where she go. liquor On
Sunday, Ida said that she went to
Charles Herbst's saloon, Franklin and
Mayo streets, and after getting tight
there Herbst's clerk pushed or put her
out Of the house. She was fined "a and
costs. Justice Ryall at once issued 8
subpana for Herbst returnsble to-day,
to answer the charge Of violating the
Sunday liquor law, and this witness was
recognized TO appear against him. BE
was up on a similar charge few weeks
ago, and was fined s25.
Saturday morning Richard Davis, q
youth about eighteen years old, WAS
before the court, charged with being
drunk and disorderly on the street.
When asked by Acting Police-Justice
Ryall where he got his whiskey Davis
said be would not tell. When told that
ii ne ulu HOt tcli Ho WVuiu w yum
mitted to Jail until be did, he replied :
"All right. You can send me to Jail,
but it will be cold day when blow
on my friends" The accused was &C
cordipgly sent to Jail, and by yesterday
morning decided that he would prefer
blowing on his friends to remaining in
his new quarters. He was therefore
brought up to court yesterday morning
and said that he knew the location Of
the place at which he got the liquor,
but had forgotten the name, bat that
he would ascertain the name Of the
keeper of the place yesterday and re-
port it this morning. lie was released
on these conditions.
During the recent local-option cleo
tion the liquor dealers of the city adopt
ed q resolution binding themselves
neither to sell on Sunday nor to minors.
They said at the time that thoy had not
been violating these laws, but adopted
this resolution to assure the public that
they meant to keep them strictly in fu.
ture.
Justice Richardson has declared his
determination to try and break up these
violations Of law, aud Justice Ryall an-
nounces his intention to unite in the ef-
fort to accomplish this desired end.
