Prospecting and Development Work
M the Gold Htl Camp.

Special Correspondence.
GOLD HILL, May 5.-The snow is dis
appearing fast, aud by another week there
will be some bare spots along South Brush
creek, but | would advise persons coz
t%emplating coming in here to wait until
the first Of June before coming. At
present there is no accommodation for
people, twenty five strangers coming into
camp would fill every available place, and
unless parties should bring tents and
provisions with them, they would be very
uncomfortable.
Messrs. Strickley and Cover of Love
land. Colo, were in last week and will at
once build a large boarding and lodging
house on Gold Run, and also one at the
old tie camp or Brush creek. The citizens
of Saratoga held a meeting last week for
the pur pose Of raising money and acting
in con cert with the citizens of Rawlins to
make a wagon road from the old tie camp
to Gold Hill; there was over 800 raised
at the meeting, and the balance asked for
Is 5000, it was thought would at once be
subscribed. Today l hear that men are
already or the way and will be in here to-
morrow. The road will run on the ridge
as far as practicable. and all soft places
will be corduroyed, thus making a road
that heavy machinery can be hauled over.
The Enterprise is the only shaft which
Is being worked at present. as the water
from the melting snow has driven the
miners out The Enterprise shaft is now
down over forty feet, and if the water is
no worse, will be sunk to fifty feet.
Although the water has stopped the
men from work in sinking their shafts,
these men are by no means idle, but are
busy prospecting and sinking ten foot
holes, and some are opening placer
claims; these last are quite enthusiastic
over their prospects and predict that this
will make a great placer camp as well as a
quartz camp.
There have been a great many new dis
c~overies made during the past week, GOV.
cring a territory from French creek on the
south to North Brush creek on the north,
a distance of some ten miles, so showing
this belt, at least ten miles in width, where
it will end is lard to tell.
Since writing the above | heard of a
strike of a large body of ore on the o. K.
King lode. This claim is a prospect
owned by Combs Bros. and Is. p. Aren-
dell. This claim had a cut on it, and
showed eighteen inches of quartz IN the
face of the cut. This morning the Combs
brothers thought that they would sink
down on the vein. and after working out
what loose rock there was. put in a shot
and uncovered a six-foot vein of quartz
carrying a large amount of brown iron,
which carries considerable gold. This
claim promises to be one of the largest in
the camp. w. ii. GREEN.

Charlie -MIlIeT's Strange Dream and
ThOse Ii Affected.

The prisoners in the county jail have
recovered from their attack of grip and
are getting along nicely.
Charlie Miller, the boy murderer, has
had his supply OF doughnuts stopped and
Is inclined to grumble at the jailer as he
thought he was to have doughnuts all the

night which has bothered two of his
tellow-prisoners more than it does him.

other men, and was telling Parkison, his
cellmate. about it. He said, ''Parklson, |

were on one side and Fillebrowne on the
other side. Just then | woke up and
spoiled it all.
Parkison is a good natured fellow, how
ever, and does not mind the Jokes of his
cellmate.
Kingen and Mckinney, the cattle
thieves, are inclined to be stubborn and
mean, and are always saying they want to
get a chance at the negro, Wright.
Wright is accused by Kingen of giving
away the plans for the attempt they were
going to make to escape. Kingen claims
that Wright got up the scheme and then
when the plot was discovered squealed,
and tries to lay the blame on the other
prisoners.

The game on Sunday between the
Clerks and Maehinists was the best of the
season the score being 9 to 5 in favor of
the Clerks. The Clerks surprised them
selves and everybody else by the stiff
game they put up. and redeemed the
laurels which they lest in the former
game. The Machinists played out Of
luck until the sixth inning when, with the
score standing 6 to 0 in favor OF the
Clerks, the latter taking pity on them,
made several errors, allowing them to
score their first run. From then to the
end OF the game they kept on scoring Until
they had piled up five runs but in the
meantime the Clerks also scored three
runs. giving them the game by a hand
some majority. Coles pitching and home
run hit we're the features of the game.

Prosecution bV Information Com
sIdered bV the Court.

iGNhuAtOn NtNh.I
AS foreshadowed in the Netos several
weeks ago, many difficulties have arisen
at Green River court in tho construction
of our new law In regard to criminal
prosecutions by information. A ruling
upon the many questions involved was
avoided at the Evanston term, because
Judge Knight was absent a good part of
the time holding court for Judge Blake,
and Judge Blake refused to pass upon the
matter in Judge Knights district. The
question came before Judge Knight at
Green River and he decided that in all
cases of crimes committed prior to the
passage of the late act providing for
prosecutions by information, proceedings
must be had by indictment of a grand
Jury, duly found and returned. He further
ruled that in case of felony, whether COM
mitted before or subsequent to the APP
proval of said law, the accused is entitled
to and. unless waived, must have a
preliminary examination. The same
question will probably come before Judge
Blake in his own district, aud there is no
doubt among good lawyers as TO what his
rulings will be.

A COWBOY SHOT.
William Warren Killed by the CIT,
Marshal of Casper.

A special dispatch to the Denver Nelos
from Casper gives the following details of
q shooting affair in the latter place :
This morning William Warren, a COW
boy in the employ Of Senator Carey, came
into town and commenced drinking. To-
ward noon he got on the fight and bant-
cred right and left for a fight. The town
marshal, William Hodge. then attempted
to arrest HIM, when he mounted his horse
and started toward the G. Y. ranch.
The marshal told him to stop, but be kept
going the faster, when the marshal fred
two shots, hitting him in the back. He
died almost in an instant. Warren is a
new man in these parts, and lately came
to this place from near Laramie, Wyo.
There is considerable excitement in the
town, and for fear the cowboys might
make any attempt to avenge Warren's
killing eight extra policemen have been
sworn in"

SPeclhl Dlspatch 10 The Leader.
OMAHA, May lI.-During the past
few days rumors have been current in
railroad circles in this city to the effect
that the Pacific Short Line had been
ordered sold by the receiver, in order to
satisfy the mortgage Indebtedness of the
road. 1t is stated that the parties who
have purchased the mortgage are ready
to sell aud hat a sale will be made within
sixty DAYS. The road is completed from
Covingt)n, opposite Sioux City, to Oneil,
a distance of 1870 miles. There are three
would be purchasers, the Chicago & North
western, the Illinois Central and the
Chicago, Minneapolis & St. Paul. The
road was commenced last year and it was
the intention to build the line from Sioux
City to Ogden, the whole line being sur
veyed and located between those points
crossing the mountains in the Sweetwater
valley and South Pass, one of the easiest
grades and shortest routes known. 1t is
safe to say that the line will not go beg
ging for purchasers and it is more thar
likely that the sharp competition will
force the price up to a good figure.

Hon. s. W. Downey, of Laramie, and
b. p. Arendall, OF Gold Hill. we're in
Cheyenne on Sunday on their return
from Denver, where they had been look
ing at machinery tor the Gold Hill camp.
Hendrie l. Boltholf. manufacturers of
mining machinery at Denver, are greatly
interested in the Gold Hill camp, and one
of the members of the firm will make a
personal visit to the mines early in June.
Col Downey saws he is putting in the
stamp mill now on the road to the mines
to demonstrate the exact standing of the
camp. If the ore will justify it there
will be no difficulty in having plenty of
machinery. as there are plenty of people
ready to put in ample machinery to run
the camp in good shape.
At the present time, Mr.. Arendall says,
there is over a thousand tons of pay ore
mined and over ground, ready for milling.
The Leviathan, Acme, Independence,
Lar imie. Little Bonanza. Wyoming and
several other mines are developed to such
au extent. that an average OF twenty tons
Of ore daily can be mined from each one.
In some of these mines ore can be mined
for from fifty cents to seventy-ive cents a
ton, much of it being in soft formations
and easily mined.
There are over twenty mines at the
camp in which sufficient development has
been done to establish the fact that they
are good prospects and show good ore.
Mr.. Arendall says that not much can
be done at the camp until after the first
of June. as there is still considerable
snow in the mountains.

A Legend of the Origin of Tea.

According to a japanese legend the
origin of tea is thus traced: An Indian
prince named Darma, of a holy and reli-
gious character, visited China in the year
SIC A. d. for the purpose of instructing the
Celestials in the duties of religion. He led
a most abstenious life and denied himself
all rest or relaxation of body and mind.
At last tired nature rebelled against
such treatment, and thoroughly exhausted,
the prince fell asleep. When he awoke he
was so mortified at his weakness that in
order to purge himself of what he consid-
cred an almost objectionable sin, he cut
off his eyebrows, considering them the I'm
struments of his crime
They fell upon the ground and each ill.,
dividual hair became transformed into a
shrub, which eventually came to be known
by the name of tea.
Prior to that time it had been unknown,
but Darma quickly discovered the agree
able property OF its leaves, which endowed
his mind with fresh powers to master alb
struse religious principles, and prevented
sleep from closing his eyes at inopportune
moments.
He recommended its virtues to his dis
cipies, who in turn sang its praises to all
whom they met. In a very short time its
use became general throughout the celes-
tial kingdom, from which it gradually ex-
tended TO all parts Of the earth
Darma's memory is perpetuated in Chi
nese and japanese drawings by the repre-
sentation of a rude figure of an old man
standing in the water with a reed under his
feet, and one of his eyebrows sprouting out
into tea leaf.-Detroit Free Press.

Like most institutions Of the kind, thu
Strangers home sprang originally out OF
missionary efforts among the seafarina
population OF the riverside. 1t was opened
in 1857 by the prince consort, and the Ma.
harajah Dhuleep Singh was one Of the
principal contributors. Since then it has
been supported mainly by English charity,
although some OF the eastern governments
subscribe to the funds. Its best friends
have always been British officials connect
ed with the east; among whom may be
mentioned the late Lord Napier, Lord
Reay, Sir Charles Atchison and Sir vii.
liam Muir.
Considering the very admirable work
done by the home in keeping Asiatics of
all kinds out of the hands of riverside
harpies and in looking after their physical
mental and pecuniary welfare, it is matter
Tor surprise as well as regret that it should
receive no support from the wealthy
oriental houses established in London.
This may be due to an idea that it is a
proselytizing center; but that is a mistake.
Although the underlying spirit is that of
the Christian mission, no religious pres
sure is brought to bear on any man. The
objects of the Institution are practical; to
afford good food and accommodation to
Asiatics ashore, to take care of thei1
money, to find ships for those out of en-
ployment, to take in such as are stranded
here destitute and friendless, and assist
them home
The majority pay, and so far, it is self
supporting, but about $500 a year is re-
quired over and above the receipts for
board and lodging. The accommodation
Is from 80 TO 200, but a varying number
