The time for the election Of school trus-
tees is near at hand, and our people should
be waking up to the interests ofthe school
and district, and should be considering
whom they will elect to the very import
ant, but not lucrative, position of school
trustees. There are two trustees to be
elected-one in the place of John II.
Durbin and one to succeed II. S. Oliver.
The resignation of W. c. Brown left a
vacancy, which was 6lled by the appoint
ment of A. G. Snyder in his place, and to
fill out his %unexpired term of three years.
Mr.. Snyder therefore has two years more
to serve before his successor is appointed.
Some have supposed hat in a case like
the one just mentioned the appointee
would hold the office only until the next
election, but in the case of II. s. Oliver,
who was appointed to gil out the unex-
pired term of Col. E. P. Snow, il was
found that the person appointed must
hold the office until such tune as the term
Of his predecessor would have expired
There are plenty of coed men for the
positions.

The second section Of the passenger
train from the West yesterday met with a
mishap while yet on the Central Pacific
and before Ogden had been reached.
The train collided with a western bound
freight train and the result was disastrous
to the last named train. There WERE two
engines drawing the freight train and one
OF them was badly smashed and ditched
also, and the fireman, whose name was
not ascertained, killed outright. Several
other trainmen were more or less bruised.
but lone were seriously injured. The
engine at that time with the passenger
train was somewhat damaged and the
passengers considerably shaken up. The
collision occurred in the night time, but
who was in fault regarding the matter re
mains a mystery SO far as the passengers
were concerned.

vERMoNrs war GOVERNOR.
Hon. !. Gregory smith and Family Pass
Through Cheyenne.

The first section of the passenger train
from the west yesterday brought to Chey-
emit Hon. j. Gregory Smith and family,
who are on their return trip from a visit
to the Pacific coast. They alighted from
the train at the depot and during the
short stop Of the train at the station MI.
Smith scraped an acquaintance with
Judge Bean and other Vermonters who
happened to be present and was made de-
lighted with them and also with Chey-
enne, so far as he could observe it.
Hon. j. Gregory Smith was Vermont's
war governor" and held the position of
chief magistrate of that state during the
greater part Of the time while the war
of the rebellion was in progress. In hat
position he did great honor to his state
and acquitted himself nobly in all of the
duties pertaining to that position. Since
the war MI. Smith was for a long time
president Of the Union Pacific Railway
company, in which position he also won
laurels and did the right thing in the
right time BY all interested while he held
the position.

Early last week Messrs. HANNA and
Bradley. Of this city, started out on an
exploring trip to the foothills northwest
Of Cheyenne, for the purpose Of examin-
ing the granite formations in that locality,
those gentlemen being engaged in supply
ing our contractors with building stone.
While riding over the country in the
vicinity Of A. Gilchrist's home ranch,
about fifteen miles from Cheyenne, they
examined an outcropping of what an
peared to be sandstone, but which, on
closer examination, proved to be lime
stone, somewhat decomposed on the sur
face. A few minutes work in the vicinity
uncovered a deposit of lime carbonates
similar to that found near Leadville.
Several specimens of these carbonates ap
peared to be mineral bearing, and, en-
couraged by this. Messrs. HANNA and
Bradley proceeded in their explorations
and succeeded in bringing to the surface
several fine specimens showing lead and
indications of silver. They abandoned the
search for building stone and returned to
the city with several fine pieces of the
newly discovered ore. This they caused
to be assayed by Prof Aughey and Mr..
Wood. the assayer, who pronounced it
lead and silver bearing carbonate Of lime,
and producing from the specimens several
buttons Of silver bearing lead, the guam
tity being s per cent. of lead and about
two ounces Of silver per ton. This result,
of course, was highly satisfactory to the
prospectors, and they returned on the fol-
lowing day to their discovery and located
for themselves and others several claims
on the lode or deposit. They propose to
develop their property at oace and ascer-
tain its extent and value.
THE LEADER looks upon this discovery
as the most important made in this
county. This mineral bearing deposit of
lime carbonates apparently extends over a
large surface, as the outcrupping can be
traced for several miles in the direction of
North Crow creek. Prof Aughey says
these ~carbonates make the best lux for
reducing refractory ores like those of the
Silver Crown mining district, and are
therefore Of considerable value aside from
the minerals they contain. Similar car
Donates are in great demand at the Color.
ado smelling works. and command fair
prices at these works where alkalies are
used to promote the fusion of minerals.
This new discovery will aid greatly in the
development of the mineral resources of
this vicinity, and indirectly will prove of
i~ncalculable benefit to Cheyenne.

Colorado Junction or rather the people
residing in that vicinity-are very badly
situated so far as mail facilities are con-
cerncd. There is no post Office at that
place and the people at and around the
Junction are compelled to get their mail at
Granite Canyon or Cheyenne. Post
master Snyder states that he has more
trouble about the Colorado Junction mail
than he does over all of the other affairs
connected with his important office, and
he suggests that a post office ought to be
established there, and thinks that there
would be at once if the station agent at
that place would consent to perform the
duties Of postmaster. Fortunately there
is now a probability at least of having a
post Office established at that place if the
people interested will only take hold
the matter. P. D. Bontecon, the new
station agent, would probably consent to
the matter, and as he is a thoroughly
competent young man and well qualified
for almost anything he might be called
upon to do, he would be the right
man in the right place.
