CASTLE GATE CHIPS.
Bryan's Nomination Favorably Re-
ceived, and Was Followed BY n
Landslide.

CASTLE GATE, July 1.-THE nomi-
nees of the Democratic convention have
given perfect satisfaction in this part
of this grand republic, and if they
don't get elected This November, then
I miss my guess. When w. J. Bryans
father told him to keep out of politics
he little thought at the time when the
advice was given that he was advising
the future president of the United
States. But such is fate Some are
born great, others achieve it, and some
have greatness thrust upon them. The
Democracy could not have chosen more
stalwart champions in the cause of the
people than the present presidential
candidates.
On Friday afternoon large Landslide
came down upon the track about three
miles from Castle Gate west, causing a
delay of traffic for several hours. A
large force of men was put on to re-
move it, and the canyon reverberated
with the sounds of the explosion and in
breaking the immense rocks which came
down with the avalanche.
There was quite a social gathering
at the K P hall Wednesday evening,
the 9Th inst. The installation of the
new K. of P officers of Eagle, lodge
No. 10 took place, and after the cere-
monies a free dance was given with
songs and recitations to change the
order of business.
There are a great number of idle men
passing through Castle Gate just now.
They seem to catch on to the good sa-
maritans. They must be in the secret
signal service.
On Thursday the whole town was
under state of excitement, the cause
being a band Of Indians who came with
their natural persistency to solicit
aims. and they got there all right, es-
pecially as far as bread and sugar was
concerned. Some of them staid until
the next day before they got out.
Mine Inspector Lloyd, who was also
sheriff of this county, has resigned the
Office of sheriff and there are several
applicants for the place. Who will be
the lucky man is a matter of conjec-
ture Petitions have been flying around
in great shape these last few days.

his abilities are, no Democrat need ap-

Especial to The Herald.)
<CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 1.-THE
trial of William Lamoreaux and Fred
Odeu, charged with the murder in
March last of Jim Washable, the favor
lite grandson of the noted Shoshone
chief Washable, commenced today in
the United States court. A jury was
secured this evening, and the prosecu-
ton opened by Judge Gibson Clark,
United States attorney.
The first witness, a half-breed named
John Hereford, testified that on March
he accompanied Jim Washable as in
terpreter in pursuit of the defendants
and two other men, who had abducted
Washakie's wife and were carrying her
off from the Shoshone reservation 10
Montana. They overlook the fugitives
on March 8, and leaving their arms
behind went ahead to their camp to
hold a parley in regard to the
kidnapped woman. AS they approach
ed the camp the defendants opened
fire on them, and shot Washakie in the
back and thigh, infiicting wounds which
proved fatal Hereford's testimony was
not finished when the court adjourned,
and will be continued tomorrow.
Lamoreaux, one of the defendants,
is the half-breed son of Jules Lamor-
eaux, one of the wealthiest stockmen
in Wyoming.

BRITISH POLITICS.

Situation Only Partially Relieved
By the Yielding of BalfOur.
LONDON, July 1.-THE political sit
uation has been only partially relieved
by the yielding of Mr.. Gerald Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland, to the pres
sure directed by Mr.. T. w. Russell,
member of parliament for the south
division of Tyrone and Nlr. Joseph
Chamberlain, colonial secretary for
modification Oh the amendments to the
Irish land bill.
There is a continuance today of the
debate of Mr.. Russell and others for
further notifications of the measure,
while the press and people generally
are giving expression to sentiments of
extreme disgust at the feebleness dis
played by the government. Many con-
servatives admit that if it were not
for the hopeless differences that exist
between the Liberals and Radicals the
government would be in serious
plight Mr. 7. P. O'Connor, discussing
this subject IN his paper, the Sun,
writes:
"The plain truth is that, though Mr..
Russell was the outward and visible
agent of this collapse, the whole affair
was personal triumph for Mr..
Chamberlain and the landlord ring.
The cabinet would have paid little at
tention to RusselPs protests, as, with
their large majority in the house of
commons, they could easily afford to
disregard the clamor of a few Ulster
men But Russell is Joe's protege and
follower and Balfour, who would smile
at the idea of being disconnected by
Russell, retires from the list before a
salaried official. AS Joe cannot afford
to lose a supporter, he has cunningly
seized the chance to- support himself
and his friends and to humiliate the
house of Cecil"

and now have two shifts Of men en-

The showing there is good one. The

That is the Depth kellogg VIII At
tain on the East Golden Gate.
Tomorrow Geo. Kellogg, the veteran
well borer will begin the work of sink
ing a hole from the bottom of the
shaft on the East Golden Gate, at Mer
cur, which will be $500 feet when COM
pleted. The machinery viii be placed
in position today and everything will
be ready for a start Thursday morning.
The machine used in doing this work
is not the diamond drill, such as is
known in workings in this country, but
is called a ''churn drill and has been
used with great success in the gold
fields in South Africa. 1t takes out a
core, and it is the intention Of the COM
pany TO have assays made at least
every three feet the drill goes down.
and perhaps more, owing to the forma-
tons which are encountered. Whether
the MANAGEMENT will make public the
results of these assays remains to be
seen, but of course that will depend
upon the ore bodies encountered. Major
Busenbark said yesterday that he be-
lieved that underneath the sediGnentaGy
formation there are deposits of free
gold and that the object in going down
TO that depth was to get at these de-
posits, if any exist.
heIlog expects to make from
twenty-five to fifty feet a day after the
work gets going in good shape, this
being governed, Of course, by the
character of the formations encoun-
tered. The assayer will be on the
ground all the time and every result
achieved will be known within a short
time after the mineral is penetrated.
These results cannot help being of
great interest to all those who are
working in Mercur when they are
made public.

PARADISE DISTRICT.
Miners Say the Extent of the Copper
Veins Cannot Be Estimated.

Referring to short description of
the copper prospects in the Paradise
district an old mining man who has
just returned from that section says
the magnitude of the deposits there
cannot be estimated. He declares the
Anaconda mines will pale into insig-
nificance when the Paradise district is
thoroughly developed. Take the rich
Cache mine, which lies east of Lo-
gan. The results show 63 per cent of
native copper with a vein from four
TO six feet, which can be traced for
miles down even to the La Plata dis
trict. The belt extends about thirty
miles and anyone can find copper al
most anywhere. At La Plata there are
veins which run as high as 80 per
cent

from the mine are 10 the effect that
everything is looking well; that the
ore bodies are showing up in good

concentration the returns will be greater
by far than at the present time. The
workings are being developed fast and
ore uncovered which is of such a char
acter as to warrant those interested in
feeling very much elated over the fiat

WORK on Antelope ISLAND.
Good Copper Ore Being Found There
in Paying Quantities.

Dave Leech is in from Antelope is
land, where he IS working with sew
eral men on some claims in which he
and Harry Cushing of the Denver &
Rio Grande and one of the Manca
brothers are interested. On one of the
highest points on the island a shaft
has been sunk to the depth of sixty
five feet with good results. The ore
shows up well, but at present the
men are bothered with water, which,
however, can be got rid of very easily.
There is a singular circumstance con-
nected with the water which comes in
the shaft 1t is far above the level Of
the lake and is as pure and fresh as
one could wish.
The character of the ore is princi-
pally copper, although there are small
quantities of silver found there, and
Leech believes that with a little more
development the mines will become
paying propositions.
