SLATE CREEK MINES.
A New Copper District in Laramie
County.
Plenty of Mineral and an Abund-
anCe of Timber and Water.
Miners Arriving and Development
Work Progressing.

The Slate creek mining district will
o com to the 'front.'" said Max Myer,
who has Just returned from the North. to
a LEADER reporter yesterday.
What mineral brcdominates in the
quartz?" was asked.
Copper, with a good proportion of
gold and silver"
Where is the new district?
Its locality doesn't seem to have been
very definitely determined as yet. The
principal belt of mineral is between the
Squaw and Papoose mountains on Slate
creek. 1t is said that the distance from
the Cottonwood on the Cheyenne &
Northern is twenty eight miles; from
Wheatland eighteen miles and Bordeaux,
or John Huuton's place, fifteen miles. l
cannot vouch for the correctness of the
figures given, however"

You may rest assured of that. Every
man l met swore by the Magic City. Of
necessity Cheyenne will be their supply
point and many of the miners belong
here. They seem as much interested in
Cheyenne as the most enthusiastic resi-
dent"
From Mr.. Meyer and others familiar
with the new mining county it was learned
that the future of the Slate Creek district
is very promising. The mineral assays
high. The camp is in close proximity to
railway communication and wood and
water are plentiful.
The Messrs. Teschemacher and de Bill
ler and several other Cheyenne gentle
men of means own claims in the district
and development will not be retarded for
lack of funds. 1t is absolutely certain
that several thousand dollars will be ex-
pended in sinking shafts and driving tun-
nels on Slate creek this season. The mine
owners propose to thoroughly test the
veins before placing expensive plants to
treat the ore, They have adopted a very
wise course and should succeed. Had the
money expended in machinery at Silver
Grown been used in development work,
there would to day be a prosperous min
ing camp almost in the suburbs of Chey-
enne. The LEADER is pleased to note,
however, that the error is being corrected
SO far as possible.
The county records will attest the accu-
racy of the statement that scarcely a day
passes without the location of several
claims in the Slate creek district. Unos-
tentatiously, and on merit alone, the new
camp is attracting widespread attention.

Frank st. Clair, who has recently be-
come quite well known in Cheyenne and
Laramie City police circles, is at liberty
again. The youth was held in the county
jail, charged with burgIarizing the resi-

his attorney, instituted habaes corpus
proceedings, and at the termination of the
hearing yesterday Judge Maginnis or,
dered the discharge of the prisoner. There
is little doubt of st. Glars criminality,
but the evidence in this particular ~insancc
was insufficient. While the stolen prop
erty was practically found in the boys
possession, the fact that he had any con
nection whatever with the robbery could

Doing for Us.
AS Is well known the River and Harbor

our own Congressman, the Hon. Charles
II. Gibson, who Is n member Of the River
anj <Harbor Committee, gets approPria-
IONS that will accomplish most excellent
results In the improvement Of her water
ways. The chief Of engineers Is making
preparations TO carry out his provisions
Of the bill. The sums Of money appro
priated are with few exceptions immediate.
" available so that Gen. Casey expects
to begin work as soon rs the usual official
routine Is accomplished. The work OF
the Maryland harbors aud rivers will be
pushed forward with as little delay as
possible, rs there are no qualifications In
the provisions relating TO them excepting
In that relating to the Improvement Of
Chincotcaguc Bay. In the hill this item
Is set down under The head of Virginia
appropriations, but IL is well known that
the bulk of improvement proposed is with
in the State Of Maryland, and the appro.
priation is principally due to the efforts
Of Congressman Gibson. whose indcfati.
gable efforts and zeal. especially in i,chalf
ofhis own district. and Worcester county
in particular. should commend him 10 the
sgratcful hearts OF all, and be the means OF

Bay alone is $50, 600, while other harbors

pally due To having our able Congressman
