Improvements at Gold Hill.


Mr.. Green informs us that they expect
to rave a ten stamp mill in there in about
a month. 1t will be put in by Capt. w.
S. Tolls of Park City, Utah, and will
have concentrators with it. For putting
in this mill on the Acme group, Capt.
Tolls receives a one-ffth interest in the
Jour claims and on his own valuation of
the cost of getting the mill in and setting
it up, the value OF the four mines is
placed at $50. 900. This is the most
practical demonstration of faith in the
camp that has been furnished by outsiders
and as Capt. Tolls is one of the leading
spirits in the famous Park City camp,
especially in the great Ontario mines, his
valuation of the property in question
must be highly satisfactory to all con-
cerned, particularly as it was made after
a thorough and critical examination of
the group. This will give the camp,
with the ten stamp mill Col. DowneY has
on the road, two mills to aid in develop
ment work during the coming summer.

A Cheeky Tramp Who Tried TO CLUB
an UnresponsIye CIuzen.

A daylight hold-up was attempted last
evening about 6 O'Clock on Capitol avenue
near the depot. F. E. Nelson, a ranch
man from near Table Mountain, was go
ing down Capitol avenue to the depot
when be was accosted at the alley back of
the Cheyenne Commercial e%ompany's
store by a tramp who asked him for some
money and said he must have it to get
something to eat. Nelson told him he
had no money and would not give him
any if he had a pocket full as he would
probably spend it for drink. The tramp
had a club in his hand aud waving it at
Nelson in a threatening manner said, Il
have a notion to beat your head of.
Nelson stepped back, and as he did so the
tramp aimed a heavy blow with the club
at his head, but luckily the blow missed
him and struck a post. breaking the stick,
the broken end of which struck Nelson in
the face, bruising it somewhat.
Sam Finch and a brakeman saw the
attack and started to Nelson's assistance.
The tramp ran up the alley into the
Western hotel, where he was followed by
Finch and captured without any trouble.
Sheriff Kelley was down near the depot
where the trouble occurred and. with
some assistance, landed the hold-u in
Jail.
The man has the appearance of being
a ''Dago, but is certainly a tough citizen.
When he made the attack there were
several others standing around, who are
presumed to have been his pals, as they
offered Nelson no assistance and ran away
as soon as the attack was made. The
Dago's trial comes off this morning at 9
O'Clock. The man refused to give his
name

Governor Barber has received a letter
from the New York Tax Reform Associa-
ton asking him to cooperate with them
10 bringing about the reforms, They
want a direct tax laid and upon real estate
alone, and think that good times will
come when the farmers learn to kick
against paying taxes on personal property.
They also believe that property or money
used as a business capital or in production
should be exempt from taxation.

The development of the railways OF this
country in the last sixty years is marvellous.
In 1880 there were % miles of railroad in
operation in the United States. In ten years
more there were. 2,S0S miles; In 1856, 9,021;
in 1860, $685. in 1870, 81 1922 In 1880, SO, 296
and in 1890, 166,s17. This is nearly half of
the entire mileage of the world. These fig
ures express, perhaps better than anything
else, the extraordinary development of this
country In this last sixty years, and espe-
cially In the last thirty years, or since the
civil war period. In the Introduction IN
Poor's Manual for 1891, an invaluable an
thority upon all matters pertaining to rail-
roads, the amount of capital invested In the
railroads of the United States is given Al
SlO,l22,655.9Oo. The gross earnings upon
this investment are 1913 per cent; and the
net earnings. which represent the amounts
going to the capitalists who have put their
money into the roads, amounts to $50 pc,
cent. on the capital. Ten years ago capital
got 40 per cent. net. 1t Is thus evident that
upon the average, those who have invested
tneir money In railroads are not obtaining
the returns on their capital received by the
small investor with his deposit in the saw
lngs bank. But the railroad earnings are
not distributed evenly. Some magnates are
drawing their ten or fifteen per cent. yearly
out OF some favored roads.as for instance the
owners OF the Providence road lately leased
to the Old Colony for ten per cent. on its
capital stock; while other holders In less
fortunate enterprises, like the Atchisop, are
finding their holdings much deprecated in
value and their incomes diminished.

The political contest now opening in Ohio
Is undoubtedly one of the most important
for many years. Major Mckinley is in the
field on the platform Of the Mckinley DILL !;
and all the hosts Of the free traders, backed
by immense subsidies from the importing
interests of New York and their foreign con-
nections, will endeayor to defeat him In
order to deal an effective blow at the Repub-
lican party and the protective policy. At
the same time another and distinct issue will
be pressed against Senator Sherman. Sena-
Tor Sherman has for many years been the
statesman most prominently identified with
the sound and successful financial policy of
the Republican party. He is a figure who
has stood in the way of the various crazes
for nat money. which have swept
over the country. The Greenbackers
marked him out for retirement nearly
twenty years ago; but he faced the
storm and won. That was famous
battle. But the friends of honest
money rallied the country over, and the
Greenback wave was rolled back after
memorable political contest. Mr.. Sherman
now finds himself involved in similar bat
tie; and, although burdened with added
years and with less assurance of support In
the country. is facing 1t as defantly as ever.
In recent interview he described the pres
eHt contest as drawn on the same lines as
that of 1875. Then the Democratic party en-
dorsed fat money; now they favor free coin
age Of silver, and both years the Republicans
stood out against any cheapening of the cur
rency. Mr.. Sherman complains that now
the East does not appreciate the situation as
1t did In 1875. Then the country was stirred
up over the issue, either to combat or sus-
tain Sherman in Ohio. Now the minds of
the people are stirred by other issues, while
the organized bands of the Farmers ALI
ance are moving against the defeat of a
statesman because he favors principle that
stands as the basis Of our Industrial pros
perity. and is Of as much Importance to 1t
as any of the tariffs that ever were
framed or repealed.

THERE are several forms OF sport
practiced by amateurs that cannot be
too quickly abolished. Among these
are tugs Of war, long distance running
Dughy foot ball and prize fights be-
tween supposedly reputable young
men. The tug OF war is an abonina-
ton. and none but Samson can hope
10 emerge from it without injury. The
spectacle OF young men falling in dead
faints ut the end OF long distance run
ming races is one that should not be
tolerated. Rugby foot ball is II game
specially tending to arouse all the
latent viciousness and brutality in the
natures OF otherwise we'll behaved and
orderly young men. In addition it is
frequently manning and disabling the
player. No father who does not
desire to have his son participate in
one OF the lowest forms OF sport and
at the came time expose himself TO
the possibility OF terrible injury.
should permit him To engage in u
