A 100000 Gold Claim.

The interest in mining matters which
Is constantly felt by the people of this
immediate section, says the Buffalo Echo,
was greatly augmented a few days ago,
when Reuben Keays, or 'Reub" as. he
is popularity known, returned from a pros
pecting trip in the Big Horn mountains
with a little package of gold nuggets and
gold quartz. Some of the nuggets were
about the size of kernels of corn, and had
been extracted from the quartz in much
the same shape as one would pick the
meat from a hickory nut.
In an interview with Mr.. Keays. the
Echo reporter learned hat the place
where the quartz was found is but half-a-
days ride from Buffalo, and is in an &C.
cessible portion of the Big Horn range,
which Is but four miles distant from this
city. A citizen who saw the specimens
offered to give $50. 900 for the claim
where the vein is located. but Keays
thinks that if it is worth that much now
it may double In value upon development
and he will not sell. He proposes to
stake off the claim at once.

A LIVELY LAC
The Work of Shooting Irons and
Knives at Rock Springs.

Rock Springs is lively" said Geo. W.
Vallery yesterday. AN incident which
occurred there the other day reminded me
of wild west stories. A great big drunken
bully was staggering about with a couple
of six shooters and would place the muz-
zles at the head of every man he met.
Pretty soon he tackeled a man who re-
fused to be scared, but said he was
helpless and ready to die if the big bully
wanted to kill HIM. The would-be des-
perado started away when the nervy man
bounced IN his back and with timely as
sistance disarmed the big cur. The latter
cried like a child as he was led to jail"
Only last week a couple of Cinnamon
carved another at Rock Springs and a bad
man driven to cover in a shanty wounded
a couple OF citizens before he was cap
tured. Altogether Rock Springs is
about the l~iveliest place in the territory.

Phillips Brooks told an interesting
and amusing anecdote of Dean Stanley
recently. The dean sem a note 10 q
shoemaker regarding some work which
that artisan was doing for him. The
writing was so difficult to decipher that
the shoemaker returned it to the dean
with a note saying, i~nnocently, that
he was ''unaccustomed to the chirog
raphy Of the higher classes, +" and asked
for a translation. Just as it," said
the dean, laughingly, in relating the

Pacific Short Line Coal.

According to the Bessemer Journal the
Pacific Short line had a man out locating
a site for the machinery at their coal
mine. The plant is to | be a large one as
the coal is to be consumed by the company
in supplying their engines and stations
along the line. The mines are located
west of Bessemer, in Carbon county. 1t
is an assured fact that the company pro-
poses to build as far east as this during
the season. They are getting everything
in readiness preparatory to commence
mining coal as soon as the road reaches
this part of the country.

THE CHEYENNE & NORTHERN.

G. Nj. Cumming, assistant general
manager of the Union Pacific, arrived
from the West Yesterday morning. He
will make a trip over the Cheyenne K
Northern to-day, then journey westward,
returning Saturday to meet Vice Presi-
dent H~olcombe, who will reach this city
from Omaha that day.
Mr.. Cumming thought tri weekly SER
vice should be instituted on the Cheyenne
& Northern, as the maIntenonce of daily
service was putting the accounts of the
branch a great many dollars to the bad.
VAR WORK.
Superintendent Barr and Train
master Green have, since their
advent, greatly improved the service on
the Wyoming division and lessened not a
little the expense of maintaining aud
operating the line between Cheyenne and
Ogden. Especially is this noticeable in
the various yards, all of which are under
the personal supervision of Mr.. Green.
Although the men receive better wage
than last year the same amount of bust
ness Is handled at a proportionately less
cost The efficiency of the men is a sub
iect of remark among veterans in the SER
vice. The other afternoon W. G. Bierd,
yardmaster here, sent three trains speed
ing over the hill in halt an hour. A west
end dispatcher who has been here and
~hereabouts for twenty years could not re-
frain from wiring the Cheyenne office
that it was quick work" Chas. K.
Linderman, the Cheyenne night yardmas-
ter just about smashed the record only a
short time ago. He and his crew had
eighteen trains in and eighteen out between
7 o'clock in the evening and twelve
hours later. The trains rolled in all the
way from ten minutes to an hour and ten
minutes apart, and there was lively work.
Bierd and Linderman are superior men
of much experience in yard work. ~
RoCK SPRINGS COAL.
The output Of the Rock Springs coal
mines was l23 cars per day last week as
against 80 cars per day for the correspond
ing week of May, 1888. This announce
ment will be a surprise to many who have
been under the impression that operations
there were practically at a standstill, but
the figures are official. Further, the pro-
duction is to be greatly increased at once.
The force of miners is to be augmented,
and improved machinery recently placed
