GRANT INTERVIEWED.
He Tells of the Wonderful
Mines Near Laramie.
DOUGLAS CREEK.
And Gives an Idea of the Vastncss OF
the Of the Great PIac-
ers Which lie AIon. the
slope 10 the Platte.

In an interview with President
Grant of the Laramie Mining and
Stock exchange, the Denver Republic
can says:
Mr.. Grant is largely interested in
Wyoming mining properties and his
interests extend over into the Hahn's
peak country in Colorado. The Wyo-
ming gentleman anticipates much ac-
tivity in the mining industry of Wyo-
lief on the fact that Colorado's won
derful boom will undoubtedly spread
over into his state.
CROWDED INTO WYOMING.
He says that investors will find
themselves crowded out of choice pro-
positions in the Centennial state. and
that they will then direct their atten-
ton to the gold fields of Wyoming and
Utah.

which are found the rich gold deposits
o. Cripple Creek and West Creek
camps in Ell Paso county; Central City
and Black Hawk in Gilpin county; Ida
no Springs and Georgetown in Clear
Creek county; the Caribou and Gold
hill in Boulder, and the Hahn's peak
district in lRoutt county. continue
without a break across the entire state
Of Wyoming. This fact has already in
duced the capitalists of the east to
look upon Wyoming in a rather fav-
orable light. But there are very few
people who realize that our state Dos
sesses some of the largest and strong,
est mineral deposits along the great
Continental divide. | say this without
any disparagement to the foremost
gold and silver producing state, or to
Utah, Idaho. Montana or any other
sister state. Wyoming is situated in
the very center of the belt and the
huge veins are so well defined thai
they can be traced on the surface for
miles by the groupings.
"As yet Wyoming has not had the
best of success in having outside CAPT
tai take hold of its wonderful resour,
ces. Altogether the statistics of the
mineral industry of the United States
show that this gold belt of which our
state is the center has produced over
81, 200, 900 600 in gold and silver since
the organization of Wyoming in 1865.
l must say we have contributed a very
small mite to hat share. But we in
tend to increase Il proportion, and
we shall commence in real earnest this
summer. 1t will be mostly with local
capitak too.
THE PRINCIPAL PLACERS.
The principal properties that will
be worked extensively this season are
the Douglas placers. the Albany plac-
ers, the Spring creek placers, the Key
stone mines. and the Home placers, all
situated in southern Wyoming. Again,
the people are greatly absorbed in the
wonderful Hahn's peak district, in
ROutt county. Colo, and the Four-Mile
country south of Rawlins, across the
Wyoming line into Colorado. Laramie
is he nearest route from
Denver to The Hahn's peak
camp, it being within 252 miles, 162
miles Of which is by rail. OF the 30

DOUBLE MURDER NEAR DENVER.
Mrs. Miller and a Step-Son Killed Up
on a Ranch.

Denver has another sensation in the
shape OF a double murder. The Re.
publican gives the following details:
Close to l o'clock this morning a
telephone message came to the Cen
trail police station conveying to the
officials there the startling informa-
ton that Alexander C. Miller's wife
and step-son had been murdered on
Warren ranch. IL miles east of Denver,
on The line OF Colfax avenue. extended.
A restatement of the communication
developed the fact that Mrs. Miller
still! survived, but was in a condition
which precluded any hope that she
would live to see daylight again. The
boy a lad of IL years. had been dead for
hours, so the report ran.
From what scanty information could
be obtained, the double crime appears
TO be a clear case of carefully planned
assassination. Either this, or a mys-
face.
The first story Of the affair that
reached Denver was t%elePhoned from
the Crippen ranch, one mile from Mil
ier's dwelling, by J, G. McCass. He
stated that Alexander C. Miller had
spent the day in Denver. and did not
return to his residence until after II
o'clock last night. On leaving the
house in the morning his wife and
step-son were well and safe.
when he saw them again, according
TO the story told McCass, the boy was
stone dead, his body having been
hacked horribly with a carving knife,
or some similar weapon. Mrs. Miller
still breathed, but the knife wounds
that let her blood out in half a dozen
places were of such a character as to
Danish all hope Of her recovery.
Whether she made any statement
to her husband Of the manner in which
her son was killed and she sustained
what will probably prove her death
wounds, Miller's messenger to the
SllppSs laltH III Aot hhUN, Jul lie
thought Miller had said she was I'M
conscious and at least almost at deaths
door.
This herald OF the awful crime was
a ranchman, whose place closely ad-
Joins the Warner ranch. where the
dead end dying ySttims OF the knife
wielder lay. On discovering what had
taken place during his absence, SO 1t
was made to appear, Alex Miller ran to
the neighbours ranch house and re-
quested him to hasten to the Crippen
ranch and telephone tt Denver"
The Republican adds the following,
which will probably be news to Mr..
Otto Gramm:
The ranch where the Millers lived is
owned by Otto Gramm, for some time
treasurer of Wyoming and at present
president of the First National bank of
Laramie, Wyoming. For some time
past Miller has held a lease on the
property. working it on shares with
others.
He had for a partner up to a year
ago Simeon NJ. Vaughn, ex-mayor of
South Denver. Miller is well known
in that locality, having figured in poll
tics and private scandals there four or
five years ago. His repute was at that
time rather noisome in South Denver
society, owing to his incorrect relations
with the woman who was stabbed last
evening.

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1896-05-22
Gov. Woodbury. VS.. The Rutland
Herald.

Last week we furnished our readers
residing in the county the details of the
trial of the libel suit Gov. Woodbury. VS..
the Rutland Herald, not because of any
individual Importance that is attached
to the trial as we regard it, but because
of its illustration of a feature Of our legal
system. Nobody has any disposition to
impute contempt or opprobrium to our
excellent governor or to insinuate in any
sense that he is malefactor. Neither do
we wish to aid in creating any impression
that any member of the press has under
taken to maliciously libel him. 1t is
claimed on the one hand that the plaintiff
did what he did and acted as he did, do
ing the best he could in the circumstances
IN which he was placed and under all the
embarrassing circumstances in which the
law had involved him. On the other
hand it is claimed that the defendant said
what he did not to impugn the character
or motives of the plaintiff but using the
facts connected with him and his business
to illustrate the inevitable results of
what was considered by the publisher as
a vicious law. Now on this question we
are not called upon nor would it be be-
coming in us to express any opinion.
But as this proceeding involves and illus
trates to greater or less extent the
workings of a law about which there is
so much discussion, and in which every
individual in the state is interested, we
have furnished the proceedings ofthe trial
to our readers so that they may read
and judge for themselves,
