WYOMING BOARD OF MINES.

Mining Convention to BE Held i'll Chew
enne, Commencing Monday
During the summer of 1880 the press of
Wyoming pretty generally advocated the
holding of a mining convention. Late in
the fall the matter took shape, and a call
was made for a convention to be held at
Cheyenne, the capital Of the state. ON Dec.
30 and 81 and Jan. l and 2. The call was
signed by persons in every county in the
state. At the same time a request was
made that specimens of mineral be brought
to the convention from as many camps az
possible. Winter was fairly on, but the
miners and others interested in the devel-
opnent of the mineral resources Of the
state took the matter in land and there ap-
pe6red at the convention q collection of
mineral that would do credit to the best
developed states. Fremont county alone
made a showing worthy of An empire; Car
bon county, in which Gold Hill is located,
made q fine showing and won a reputation
for rich mineral. Other localities followed
close after, and taken altogether the display
was in every way creditable to tho persons
who had taken the trouble to make the col
lection.
There was iron from the celebrated Hart
vile deposit, also from Rawlins, and num-
erous specimens of oil taken from half a
dozen oil districts; gold, silver and copper
ore from all over the state. and a large
number of fine specimens of coal taken
from numerous mines. There was marble
and building stone in great variety. The
convention was made up of delegates rep
resenting the various counties and camps,
and each locality WAS given an opportunity
TO speak for itself. There were paperB read
and speeches made on all subjects connect
ed with mining and mineral. The conven-
tion YVES numerously attended and WAS pro.
nounce to be q grand success. At this
convention the state board of mixes WINS
born. A committee appointed for the pur-
pose made the plan of Il state organization,
and the convention elected thirteen dele
gAtes, one for each county, who in turn
elected q president. Col. Stephen w. Dow
Eby, OF Laramie City. a gentleman largely
INTERESTED III mining operations in the state.
Joe DeBarthe, of TIE Buffalo Bulletin, was
elected Treasurer. and G.. G. Coutant. editor
OF tie Con- monweslth at Cheyenne, was
msde Secretary.
Eefore the convention adjourned it was
determined TO hold another this fall and to
make IT the one great event in the history
o. the state during the year 1891. With
this end in view the board OF trustees went
TO work to secure specimens for the dis
play and papers from individuals who could
give reliable information in regard to the
various mineral deposits. The one aim has
been to secure reliable data in regard to ali
kinds Of mineral, its quality and quantity

No Question as to How James Van Mes
Met His Fate.
M1ssou1A, Sept. A recent article in
Montana paper purports to give tho insid,
history Of the cause of the taking off O.
James Van Ness, which took place abou'
fifty miles from Missoula about fourteen
months ago. The story is so ridiculous al
scarcely to warrant attention, did it moi
lead the reader to infe. that Van Ness die
not commit suicide, but was murdered, and
that there was a family war waQing, circum.
stances pointing suspiciously toward mem
bers of the family. There are -four men IN
Missoula who could have toldsthe writer of
the sensation all there was in the Van Ness
matter, so he need not nave depended upon
the tale of a prospeotor, who was not pres
ent at the time Van Ness died. Your cor
respondent has seen these gentlemen, and
these are their stories:
MI. G.. b. Mahoney, a gentleman OF un-
questioned responsibility, stated to the
writer that he was sleeping in the adjoining
room to Nh. Van Ness. That he was awak-
ened by a shot, shat he and Alfred Shipley
Immediately went into the room, found Mr..
Van Ness lying in bed breathing heavily,
a bullet hole through his head and a smok-
ing pistol in his hand. Mr.. Shows father,
a brother-in-law of Van Ness, was sleeping
with him but had not yet realized what had
occurred. Mr.. G. w. Staple stated that he
was sleeping in an adjoining room, was
awakened by the shot, went in and saw
Van Ness with the pistol in his hand, dying.
Mr.. Pearson stated that he was sleeping
in the same building, went to the door of
Van Ness room, saw him lying there, did
not 90 in but smelt the powder smoke in
the room and saw the wound. Mr.. Van Ness
had not more than a week previous stated
to parties that he suffered SO much from
rheumatism hat life was not worth having
and that he had on several occasions taken
such large doses of morphine that he had
hot expected to wake up again.
DR.. j. M. Hargrave stated that he
stopped at the milk ranch frequently, and
then would write up Van Ness books for
him. That he was we'll acquainted with
all the business matters and that the rela-
tions of Mr.. Snow and Van Ness were
pleasant and no family war ragged.
The weather was warm at the time, and
the stage journey to Missoula and back
occupied two full days. F. 0. Kennedy.
county surveyor and q notary, was there,
and swore in a jury. Took dispositions of
witnesses. The jury SO obtained did not,
perhaps, fulfill all technical requirements
of the law, but was considered the best
that could be had under the circumstances,
The jury's verdict of suicide, together
with the dispositions Of all the witnesses,
were sent to Coroner Myers, who examined
them, placed them before the county attor-
ney, and requested his advice. The county
attorney thought everything necessary had
been done.
