BozEMAN, Aug. 3.-Seyeral gentlemen
who went of with the first stampede To
the newly discoy cred placer fields in the
Gallatin basin returned Ia the city to-day.
II is the opinion Of these men that Louis
Micbeuer, the old prospec,or who reported
the placers last week in such q glowing
manner. has several sets of poorly-bal-
anccd wheels In his head. Al any rate,
IL is believed by the prospectors and
miners familiar with placer diggings that
Michener did not find the nuggets in the
basin that he exhibited SO freely last
week. Aud yct il Is possible that the old
miner knows what he Ia talking about. as
some fair colors have been found in pans
from his claim and some Of the claims
near him. There is assuredly gold there,
but II will take expensive modern
methods to make IL pay to mine.
Between 30 and 100 men rushed oil to
the placers at the f,rst excitement, and all
OF them are now disguised with the pros
psct and arc on their way home. or tn
some other part of tho basin. On the
placer beds found by Michcner there are
only few shafts sunk to bed rock. From
these IL takes from one to thirty pans to
find color. IL may he that with a more
thorough search gold will he found In suf-
ficient quantities in the basin TO pay a
profit over the expense of mining.

Pension Commissioner Lochfsn Explains
What His Bureau Is Doing.
INVESTIGATING WITH CARE
The Board of Revision 10 Composed
Almost Exclusively OF RepuS-
licans-How They Proceed
With Their Work.

WAsHISGroS, Aug. 3.-Commissione OF
Pen sions Lochren has addressed q letter
10 the editor of tho National Tribune upon
the subject of pensions. He says:
Il have not complied with your repeated
request that should cause q test to he
made to show the number Of fraudulent
pensions by having 1000 cases drawn
from admitted files and examined.
have not done this for several reasons.
ILL., Fraudulent cases, IL any exist. can
not be discovered In that way. Fraudu-
lent pensions must ordinarily have been
obtained upon false or forged testimony.
On the face of the papers such would
probably appear to bs well established
aud inconiestable. O. No one whose
opinion is entitled to consideration has,
think, had the hardihood TO claim that the
great mass of adjudicated pension cases
is permcated with fraud SO open and plain
Oh the papers that an sanitation oi
1000 cases would disclose an instance.
49, The examination OF juno -, ls9J,
cases ID made not because OF any fraud on
the part Of claimants, but because II was
discovered that this bureau had. by the
adoption Of an erroneous rule for adjudl.
cation. allowed many pensions not an
ihorized by law. All pensions granted
under former laws are presumed to hav,
been properly granted and are not bein,
examined.
