OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 2l.- Head
Draughtsman Knox and the men in his
office, about ten all told, are ordered to
transfer from the Union Pacific shops in
this city to those at Cheyenne. Officials
say this is the last transfer that will be
made tor a long tine unless Chief Chem
ist Hodges and his assistants are stationed
there to make tests of material, which
they think likely, as Superintendent Mid
dleton now has his headquarters there.
But those who say this add that the
Omaha shops are bound to be maintained
with a large force of men, though they
are no longer headquarters of the ma
chinery department.

Rich Digging In the Mountains at
Powder Rivers Source.

For the past meath or so crowds OF
people from Sheridan, Dayton and the
surrounding country have been going 10
and coming from the mountains, near
the head of Tongue river, where it was
reported rich placer mines had been
struck. Some went to the rich Eldorado
with the intention OF prospecting and,
finding out for themselves what there
was IN it, while others vent to fish and
enjoy the excitement of a stampede.
Some few came back disappointed with
the diggings. while a great many were
enthusiastic over the discovery.
According to the Sheridan Enterprise
there are upward of fifty men in the
locality and the mountains in all that
vicinity have been stake1 Out. As far as
can be learned only three men have made
any money out of the find. They have
been there several months, and by means
of cart have been able to haul the dirt
to water, half a mile distant. With a
common rocker they have made good
wages, while with sluice boxes three or
four times as much could be cleaned up.
1t seems they have now strnck it rich.
One of their number came to Sheridan
Wednesday after supplies and had with
him a little ove four ounces of the pure
truck" which he stated was the result Of
four days work. No one there has any
way Of testing the fineness of the gold,
but it is believed it will run at least SIT
or $l8 to the ounce. s. B. beaverton &
Co. took the dust off his hands and will
send it east.
In the past two weeks old miners from
Colorado and the Black Hills have gone
up TO the diggings, and all look for great
activity and development there in a short
time.

Special Dispatch TO The Leader.
RAwLINs, Wvo.. Aug. PA splen-
did audience heard the Baxter Carey
Joint debate in the opera house here this
evening. Ladies were out in full force,
Mr.. Gannett and Mrs. Hellman of Chey-
enne we're in attendance. Every seat was
occupied.
This is a Democratic town and of
course sympathy was with MIR. Baxter,
but the audience was generous to Judge
Carey.
Mr.. Baxter opened. He arraigned the
Mckinley and force bills. His tariff ar
gument was the hest ever heard here,
clear, concise, convincing. The infamous
force bill was given a searching scoring.
MIR. Bakers discussion Of local affairs
was unprejudiced, and forceful. His
ideas on land, capital and labor, taxation
and a government at once economical and
satisfactory were approved by all. He
was very effective in denunciation OF the
party Of Capitalization and compared the
state platforms to show the consideration
of Democracy for the whole people.
Judge Carey was not at his best. He
is becoming i'll. His speeches were lame
defenses of the Republican party meas
ures now being daily condemned by lead
ing men and papers of the faith. He
recited again the alleged achievements of
himself and Governor Warren for the peo-
pie of Wyoming. The friends of the Re
publican standard bearer were disappoint-
ed IN their leader. They made excuses
for him. Baxter's admirers we're over
joyed. He will be the next governor if
all counties do their duty as will Carbon.
Even the Republicans conceded that
Mr.. Baxter was the victor.

Carey.

AuS hCh OpcIa uOuoc a. lNoCA Opiiusn
in which the Carey-Baxter debate was
held on Thursday evening is one of the
best arranged and most complete places
OF amusement in Wyoming. The seat
ing capacity is 700. The stage Is large
and well equipped with machinery and
scenery. The house is lighted by electric
light and Is a substantial stone building
of which the town may well feel proud.
Rock Springs also has a very creditable
brass band. 1t has been organized but a
few months but compares iavorably in
merit with many older organizations. The
band furnished the music at the joint de-
bate and showed its non-partizan charac-
ter by having the bass drummer i'm
partially pound his drum for both speak
ers when there was any applause.
The Cheyenne visitor to Rock Springs
hnds many old Ch%eyenLeites all of whom
seem to be well pleased with Rock Springs
as a good business point but all have a
longing to be back in Cheyenne. Dave
Miller who is among the number, is one
OF the most popular men in the town and
is an authority on sporting events looked
up to by everybody.
Messrs. X. b. Horne and Louis Loeb
are among the substantial business men
oil the place and the former is doing much
for the building up and development of
the town.
Coun Won Knoblock is another
former Cheyenne man who has settled in
Rock Springs. He speaks highly of the
generosity and libera'ity of the Rock
Springs people and says it is the hveliest
town in the west
The Carey Baxter debate was a big
sensation In Rock Springs. Toe audi

who listened attentively to every word Of
the discussion Judging from the amount
OF applause the speakers received the
majority OF the audience were Democrats.

this particular debate. He had caught a
heavy cold at Almy and looked worn and
haggard. His speech was labored and
