WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
Pure Sodium Carbonate Found at
Green River.

A special to the News from Green
River, Wyo., says the people Of this
city are highly elated over the discov>
cry just made of the existence OF al
most pure sodium carbonate in and
about Green River, the extent of which
is yet to be ascertained. Prof. e. e.
Slosson of the Wyoming university,
was recently sent a gallon Of water
taken from the well just drilled by the
Green River Fuel and Oil company.
This company was looking for oil, but
the analysis informs them that they
have struck something Of far greater
commercial importance, for the analy-
sis Of the water as 1t bubbles and foams
from the 690-foot well contains 81 per
cent pure sodium carbonate, which ia
worth not less than $25 per ton. as 1t
crystalizes by natural evaporation. The
overflow from the well has deposited
two feet Of sodium about 1t which
many people mistook for snow while
the latter covered the surround
ing surface, but when the snow disap-
peared, investigation was made of the
white deposit when its value was
learned. Five thousand acres have
been recently filed upon as mineral
land in this locality.
BEN" THE EDUCATED HORSE.
Laramie has a horse which is pos

he is the property Of Mr.. George Hunt
Of the Popular market. Ben has been
accustomed to hauling meat from the
slaughter house southeast Of town to
the market and he knows his duties so
well that 1t Is now unnecessary for a
man to accompany him to and fro. He
will come to the market with a load OF
beef and after the wagon is unloaded
he will go back to the slaughter house
unattended. The other morning a
neighbor was watching Ben coming to
the city with a load. He had a very
hard pull for some little distance, after
which he stopped for a few seconds to
rest and hen came on just as If moth
ing had happened. On account Of his
learning. Ben is quite a fayorite with

Are Something Kruger Would
Avoid if Possible
TOO GREAT RESPONSIBILITY
Ia View of the Influence Brought
TO Bear
A Party Of nlchignn Timers Just Home From
Africa Think That Hammond De-
serves No Sympathy

Associated Press Special Wire
New YORK, Feb. S.-A special to the
World from London says: A cablegram
from Cape Town reports Mr.. Hammond's
release on bail under strict surveillance.
Arrangements have been made for medi-
cal and legal attendance for the American
mining engineer and for house in which
he may remain until the conclusion of the
trial. The company and all the other au-
thorities here and in the Transvaal mines
profess complete ignorance regarding the
prospects of their accused employees. They
have no definite information even yet of
what may be the punishment under the
laws of the Transvaal for tho offenses
charged, except that it may include contis-
cation of all If the property of the accused
and Punishment from the republic.
TOO GREAT RESPONSIBILITY
NEW YORK, Feb. GA special to the
World from London says:
Although nothing on the subject has
been printed here yet information reaches
here that President Kruger proposes to
hand over John Hays Hammond for trial
with Jameson, in England, for direct COM
plicity in the offense Jameson committed
against English law. But the British gov
ernment declined this proposal on obvious
ground that Mr.. Hammond being an Amer.
lean citizen and not having committed any
offense in British territory, his trial in
British court will give just ground for COM
plant by the United States government.
1t is surmised that President Kruger de-
sired by transferring Mr.. Hammond to the
British authorities to avoid the response
bility of trying in the Transvaal courts an
American in whose behalf such great ihflu-
ence has been brought to bear.
Captain Mein, formerly of California,
another of the noted American engineers
of the Rand, is still awaiting trial.
DESERVES NO SYMPATHY
CHICAGO, Feb. "A dispatch from Iron
wood, Michigan, says: Captain William
H. Knight and his party who left this
city last spring for the gold fields of South
Africa, have returned home rather unex-
pectedly. For couple of weeks before
Jameson's raid the officers of the min
ing companies were smuggling rifles and
ammunition into the country in the bot
tom of coke cars. On Tuesday, Decem-
the men were ordered to take guns an am.
munition and be prepared to march to
Johannesburg by 4 o'clock in the after
noon. The Michigan men refused to obey
this order, whereupon they were informed
that they must either take up armes
mines, Captain Knight and party left at
once and was just over the line in the
Orange Free State when the battle be-
tween the Beers and Jameson occurred.
Many other miners, however, were forced
into taking up arms by the officials, who
shut up ali the boarding houses and bought
all the available provisions and literally
starved the men into accepting their terms.
The Michigan men say the miners or the
foreign population have no fault to find
with the Boer government. They also say
that John Hays Hammond deserves no
sympathy.
