Mcxellop's MIL Burned at Perry.

Thursday morning at 10 o'clock fire was
discovered in the third story of the Nickel
lop's Touring mill at Perry. The building
and contents were soon i'm ashes. This mill
was operated by joint stock company of
farmers and several thousand bushels of
wheat had been stored by them in the mill.
The loss OH the grain is estimated at $3, 900
and on the mill $4,000. The mill property
was fully insured. Water from one hose
and from a hastily formed bucket brigade
prevented the flames from spreading, al
though it seemed at one time that Marshalls
mill across the street would also be burned,
escaping however with bad scorching.
The origin of the fire is believed to have
been in the boxing in the third story.

find considerable complaint among the
small Ianchmen about the tresspass and
encroachment of sheep herds on the little
homes that they are trying to build up.
Their filings are no protection without
fences, and even a fence Is not always a
protection.
In passing over the country We visited
some of the curioslties that abound in
this section. The first is Specimen hill,
on the headwaters of the Little Medicine
river. Agates and crystalized rocks are
left in an immense heap by the mighty
eruption that once visited this region. re.
sembling very much melted lava. This
hill is often visited by curiosity and speci-
men hunters and there Is plenty for all
that 90.
A lew miles south of this and still on
the waters of the Little Medicine, we
have another curiosity called petrifed
hill, which is one of the greatest wonders
of Wyoming. Here we find whole logs
and piles of logs from ten to thirty feet
long, and often broken up into monster
sections and sometimes one to two feet in
diameter, petriiel into solid rock, every
knot and stump of limb fully defined.
This must have been at one time a heavy
forest covering thousands of acres.
10 the neighborhood Of these curiosities
are a number OF fine ranches. That of
Kirk Dyer Is well cultivated and produc-
tive. On SIX acres this year he raised
about twenty tons of sheaf oats. Others
owning fine ranches are NJ. 7. Burnett,

A STORMY SPOT.
Hutton's Lake Lashed to Fury
by the Storm.
The Diver Declares Himself Unable
to Find the Body.
He Says II Is Not Liable to Be Cast
Up by the Waves.

Laramie Republican OF Wednesday,
Diver Dolph has at length acknowledged
defeat He came in from Lake Hutton
this afternoon. and, accompanied by his
assistant, will leave for San Francisco
tomorrow. All the men employed to help
him at the lake are in the city today, but
Caleb Jones and Reuben Reals will prob
ably return tomorrow and remain there
until the last vestage OF hope Of recovering
Mr.. Dawson's remains has departed.
There is an ice fringe 100 feet in width
surrounding Lake Hutton's visible water
today. This morning an attempt was
made to remove the weeds by means of a
wire drag pulled at each end by horses,
but the result was far from satisfactory.
Reals says it was like pulling a brick
house. About a ton OF grass was hauled
out after much difficulty. Then the wire
broke.
The waves on Lake Hutton Yesterday
were shoppers" Though less heavy
in volume than ocean waves would be
under similar irritation, they were really
more dangerous to a boat, as their very
shortuess would have upset a craft which
might live in waves of greater length
and less rapid motion. From morning
until night the water OF the lake was
crushed into foam, and the roar of the
breakers on the beach reminded the diver
OF the Cliff house shore during a storm.
Dolph does not believe the violent a
action on the surface yesterday was felt at
the bottom at all, and ridicules the idea
of Mr.. Dawson's body being moved by
the storm. unless it lies very near the
shore. which is not likely. On a moder-
ately calm day the surface of San Fran
cisco harbor is agitated just as much as
was Lake Hutton yesterday. yet the div
ers work at the bottom without any
trouble. II Dolph had a regular wreck
ing tug on Lake Hutton he would work
in any kind of weather. 1t is not the
effect OF the waves upon himself that
deters him from diving, but a fear that
they would upset the fragile raft upon
which his crew works. Though the water
was comparatively smooth this morning,
it was too choppy to permit the men to
work 10 safety.
Postmaster Butler this morning re-
ceived a letter from a man named Probst,
residing at Denver. in which the writer
oHors to recover the body Of Mr.. Dawson
within twenty-four hours after starting &c
find it. He does not state by what meant
he proposes to accomplish the task which
has thus far bafied energy and science,
He wants his transportation to Laramie
and return and his expenses while here
betrayed by the relatives of the drowned
man. aud for recovering the remains he
shall demand a suitable reward. If he
fails to find them. he will ask for nothing
beyond payment of his expenses.
The letter was turned over to the Daw-
son brothers, and it is understood that
they will wire Probst to pay his own fare
here and they will pay it back to him
when he arrives.
