ANOTHER TmAsp ROUND UP.
Raids b, the Police Result IN Gathering
Them In.


The tramp round up still continues and
with gratifying results. Policemen God
dard, Sullivan. Thomson add Nolan on
Monday night made another advance upon
the lines Of the Common enemy, and down
at the water tank they captured nine
tramps who were in the act of playing
cards and drinking whisky. They were
marched to the calaboose and locked up.
and early yesterday morning a part Of the
police force made a descent upon a vacant
house in the vicinity of the stockyards and
captured seventeen of these obnoxious
gentlemen. who were also incarcerated in
the city bastile. Yesterday morning these
parties were marched into the police
courts and their cases attended to. -Four
or five of the most respectable looking of
the gang, and those who evidently were
DESTROYS of obtaining work, were dis
charged; four of them were arraigned be-
fore Judge Fisher and fined $50 each, and
before Judge Lee the following named
gentlemen were given a similar dose and
will be set to work on the streets: John
Bidell. John Ryan, Charles Clark, Geo.
Dray, John Kennedy, John Williams,
Charles Smith. William Allen and Will
liam Clark.

A LEADER Commissioner yesterday Wis
tied the newly discovered carbonate de-
posits located on Mr.. Andrew Chemists
ranch, about twelve miles northwest of
this city. The mineral bearing lime car
Donates are found in the bluffs west of
Gilchrist's home ranch, the surface indi-
cations exten ling several miles in north
westerly direction: Float rock, impreg
mated with lead and silver, is found in all
directions, aud the cliffs of lime rock.
huge masses, overtopped with conglomer-
ate and granite, show everywhere strong
indications of lead sulphides. No devel-
opment work has vet been done, and con-
sequently no prediction as to the extent
and richness of these mineral deposits can
be ventured at the present time. The
plan OF the claim owners, however, is to
pool their issues, and to sink on one of
the claims to bed rock. Thus the value
of these new discoveries may be speedily
ascertained. and if, as surmised, the lead
and silver shall increase as depth is OBJ
tanned on these deposits, they will prove
the most extensive mines ever opened in
this country. The deposits are vast in
extent, and immense quantities OF the
carbonates can be produced by very little
labor and without the many appliances
and machinery necessary in quartz mining
and which make the outlay of much money
necessary. If Silver Crown or the Dem
yer smelters want these carbonates, they
can be supplied in unlimited quantities,
and the present owners of these deposits
will be glad to receive in payment for
their ores the proceeds of the lead and
silver they contain.
A few days work will develop the eI-
e n of the minerals contained in these
carbonate deposits, aud our readers will
be duly advised of the result.

A. Simmons had a very serious time
with a very much demoIali1ed individual
early yesterday morning. The individual
referred to came into the office of the
Simmons house and sat down in a chair
and went to sleep. He was drunk of
course. and Mr.. Summons not desiring to
have him sitting there in that way set out
to get him down into the basement where
he could lay down. The demoralized in
dividual showed fight and a very serious
time was the result. Finally Simmons
translated himself into a police officer. ar
rested the fellow and took Linn to the
calaboose where he was duly locked up.

We have concluded at the expiration of
our present c%opartnership. to change our
business from the mercantile to the land
and cattle business. With this object in
view, we will on Tuesday, April 20, place
our entire stock of dry goods, clothing,
boots, shoes, hats, millinery and every
thing contained in our stocks at Cheyenne
and Fort Fetterman on the market at job
bers' wholesale prices, for cash.
This is the largest closing out sale ever
made in the territory, and considering the
large stock and our well-known business
principles, is sufficient 10 the public that
there never was such an opportunity to
buy goods before. We invite the mer-
chants of the surrounding country to this
sale, as our stocks are now complete with
all the newest style goods. This being
the closing out and end of our mercantile
business, we request all knowing them
selves indebted to us to call and settle at
once. O. +. CowHICR.

10 the hdltof OF lHE LEADER.
Is it not time that the city council
should take some steps toward regulating
the of applying the electric light
to the use of buildings i'll the city2 The
press subverts the facts either through
favor or cowardice. Every FIRE that has been
caused by the electric light is either ''eI-
planned" away or ignored. The instance
at Polack's clothing store ON Monday
evening vas referred to by THE LEADER
as the result of a slight accident, The
Sun ignored it 1t is a wonder that
those papers did not state that some care
less person had dropped alighted match on
the ceiling, and thus caused the blaze.
AT all vents the people are not given
the facts. If a fire is caused by a lamp
explosion. the truth is told. Why not
state the facts if the deadly electric wires
are at fault? The people have a right to
protection. In other cities the electric
light companies are under more control.
The city has the power to regulate the
manner Of putting in and using the
wires. As at present conducted the
electric light is a standing menace to the
safety of property. Defective Hues are
not half so subtle and treacherous and
dangerous. At any hour of the night
the alarm may come.
But at all events, my dear LEADER,
tell the truth" Do not conceal the
facts. If your local wears the electric
light collar take it of. Call a spade a
spade" OBSERVER.

A report was received from Engineer
provinces estimating the cost Of a new
floor for the engine house at the sum of
1925. The committee on water system
reported that the constrcat for an extern
sion of the water system had been let to
O'Brien K Lawler. On motion Of Mr..
Griffin, it was voted to advertise for bids
for the putting in of a new floor at the
engine house. An ordinance in regard to
Migrants was introduced and passed under
a suspension of the rules. The ordinance
provides that persons convicted Of being
Migrants may be put to work on the
streets or public buildings in the city and
be allowed 81 per day. 1t is similar in
nearly every respect with the old one and
repeats all ordinances heretofore in force
on that subject.
On motion the city marshal was instruc-
ted to take measures to have the building
on Themes street removed at once. Ii
was voted that the chairman of the appro-
pirate committee be instructed to lay the
sidewalk in front OF lot 7, block 399, on
Sixteenth street. Mr.. Keefe asked that
an appropriation for the city park be
made. He thought the committee ought
to have $500, and stated that nearly 400
OF the trees heretofore set out are dead
and the committee think they can get
other trees very reasonable. Mr.. Rishel
appeared before the council and asked
that a bridge be put in near his place in
the northern portion of the city. Re
ferred to the committee on streets and al
leys. The city attorney was instructed to
draw a contract to be entered into with
O'Brien 4 Lawler, for the work to be
done on the extension ofthe water system.
A petition asking that an extension OF the
sewer on Warren avenue, was read in
connection with the report of Engineer
provinces, recommending that a larger
main be put in to the creek if the
is extended.
On motion a warrant for 500 was or
dered drawn in favor OF the street and
alley committee. On motion the report
of the engineer on the sewer question was
laid over until the next meeting. City
Attorney Riner stated that he had doubts
whether the city could allow parties to
tap the lakes for water without losing its
prior rights. He considered the CUES
ton a very serious one until after the
question of prior water rights be deter
mined by the courts, which would prob
ably be done this season. Mr.. Draper
stated that the committee had decided
not to permit water to be taken from the
lakes. Messrs. Griffin, Keefe and others
made a few suggestions in regard to more
hydrants, On motion the water commit
tee was instructed to Jay such pipes from
the dam to the city as will enable people
in the city to get surface water tor trees,
etc. The report of the water committee
was made and adopted and the council
then adjourned.
