UNCOVERED A RICH GOLD NINE.
Find of Wyoming Man Creates
Great Excitement.

RAWLINS, Wyo, Feb. 13.-(Special Tele-
gram)-There Is much excitement in mining
circles today over an assay received by j. G.
Rankin, made by w. S. Robinson of Omaha
The sample sent comes from a new discovery
about forty miles southeast OF town, in this
county. The assay shows as the value of the
ore $i,S23.60 per ton, gold. The great rich
ness of the ore leads many old miners to
think it is tho rediscoyery of an old find
that was made some thirty years ago, which
has been diligently sought for nearly every
year since. Rankin Is confident the find is in
continuation of the Hahns Peak mineral
belt, which extends into Wyoming. He will
take out ton Of ore at the earliest practical
date and ship 1t for a mill test.

KRUGER REBUKES SALISBURY
Uncle Paul Takes Exceptions to the Prime
Minister'S Remarks.
REsENTs COMPARISON WITH IRELAND
Intimntion that the Boer Republic
is n Co1onint Dependency of
Great britain Promptly
Challenged.

| Copyright, 1896 by Press Publishing Company
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-New York World Ca
blegram-Speclal Telegram.)-The statement
is current in certain influential circles that
President Kruger has cabled direct to Lord
Salisbury a vigorous protest against the
references to the Transvaa made by Lord
Salisbury in his recent speech. Kruger, In
his ordinary course makes all his commun-
cations through Sir Hercules Robinson, to the
secretary for the colonies at Downing street.
Kruger Is said to declare in this dispatch that
the comparison Lord Salisbury is reported
to have drawn between the situation Of the
Uitlanders In the Transvaal and the situation
In Ireland involves such Misrepresentation
OF the position of the Transvaal toward
Great Britain that he cannot believe the
British prime minister gave expression to
such views. Salisbury's maladroit references
to the Transvaal are evidently construed to
mean that Great Britain still regards the
Iransvaal as In the position Of a colonial
dependency and not as a republic, inde-
pendent of Great Britain in all respect, save
those reserved by the right of suzerainty.
Prince Bismarck styled President
Kruger as the only born dpomatist he
had ever met. A story is also currcnt that
the presidents reply to Chamberia.u's lnv!-
tat'on to visit England shows that his hand
has not lost its cunning.
According to this report, he not alone
MADE his acceptance of the invitation con-
dt'ona! on the assent of the Volksraad, as
already published but he intimatei that
the assent would be assured IL Mr. Cham
berlan would consent that their nego:ia-
tions should include a discussion of the
convention Of 1884 There is nothing that
the Salisbury government desires less than
any reopening Of the convention of 1854
1t was because of this condition. SO says
the report, that Mr. Chamberlain declined
to make public President E"uger'o reply,
and communications are still passing be-
tween the two governments on the subject.

POstpOnement of Trial
Copyright 1896. by Press Publishing Company
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Feb 49,
(New York World Cablegram-Special Tele.
gram)-T further taking of evidence in the
trial at Pretoria of the reform committee
men arrested for treason against the Trans
vaal republic has been postponed at the re-
quest of the states attorney. All the de-
PENDANTS are out on bail as before, except
Hammond. Colonel Rhodes, Farrar, Fitz-
patrick, Gear and others have returned to
Johannesburg.
In his answer to Mr.. Chamberlain, Pres
ident Kruger notes that the. Transvaal gov
ernment has before 1t the British colonial
sscretary's dispatch, but he feels In duty
bound to say that he considers. it undesir-
able and unwise to give publicity now to
the opinion the British government pre-
sumes to hold. 1t makes the situation em-
barrassing.
not suffer interference nor meddling, how
ever well intended, and Secretary Chamber
lain's meddling with the republics internal
affairs will initiate against the success of
the efforts to bring about good understand
ing between Great Britain and the Trans
vaal.
President Kruger warns Mr.. Chamberlain
that it would endanger peace and order, not
only in the republic, but throughout South
Africa, to again excite or disturb the minds
Rand.
LONDON, Feb. 13.-The correspondent OF
the Times at Pretoria teleg! apis: "Mr.
Rhodes return, the publication OF Mr..
Chamberlain'o dispatch and the reply thereto
Of President Kruger has led people to be-
lieve that trouble is again impending. Tine
government Is undoubtedly much incensed at
what IN cons dered the discourtesy of Great
Britain in publishing the Chamberlain dis
patch before its delivery here Its contents
meet with the approval of no party. The
Uitlanders regard the suggested remedy as
impracticabe unsuitable and tending to en-
phasize existing differences instead of heal
ing them at johannesburg
'There Is the best authority fer stating
that President Kruger's reply to Mr.. Cham
berlain is really intended for home consump-
tion, and does not imply desire to rupture
negotiations. President Kruger Is still
anxl lous to visit England. The Holanders
and Germans are doing their best to pre-
vent him. But the government believes a
permanent agreement is only possible by
Kruger and Mr. Chamberlain"
The Standard says: '"There is reason to
believe that before accepting the invitation
to visit England President Kruger tried to
stipulate that England's treaty right of SUI
erainty should be open to discussion. The
government refused to accede We under
stand that President Kruger complained OF
the language of Lord Salisbury's speech to
the Noncontormist association"
saws: "Mr. Chamberlain's first mistake in
dealing with the Transvaal is bad one.
The publication Of his dispatch has stiffened
President Kruger's back. A crisis seems
to be imminent again and nobody can say
how 1t will end"

HEADING OFF THE GOLD RAIDERS.
Making Places Other Than New York
the RedemptiOn Point.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Mr Dockery to-
day introduced in the house a bill, which, no
believes, If passed would do much to pre-
vent the raiding of the gold reserve. 1t pro-
poses to strike cut from section of the re-
sumption act of 1876 "The city of New
York." where 1t occurs, and substitute THE
city of st. Louis" Section 3 of the resump-
tion act makes legal tenders redeemable at
New York and San Francisco
1t is at New York, Mr.. Dockery says,
that the endless chain is operated to de-
plete the gold reserve. 1t Is there the gold
spectators secure their gold from the treas
ury. If the greenbacks were not redeem
able there, but at some interior point the
spectators, he thinks would be embarrassed
by the inconvenience of transferring green
backs to that point and the gold back to
New York, and also by the expense Of trans
portation and loss of time to such an extent
that gold could not be withdrawn save for
legitimate purposes

State Auditor Dunn Scouts the Chip
pewa Falls Yarn.


Minneapolis paper yesterday pub
lished what purported to be a special
dispatch from Duluth charging that
the cruisers in the employ of the state
land department, instead of investigat-
ing the timber frauds, were prospect
ing for iron ore on the government
lands. The special also charged a.
Chippewa Falls firm with the frauds
which the cruisers recently reported
State Auditor Dunn saw the alleged
special, and he was nearly ready to
him about it yesterday.
It's lie Duluth lumbermen are
amused, are they?" he said quoting
from the special" which lay on his
desk before him. when I get through
with them they may think it's some
one else,s laugh. Chippewa Falls firm,
Ell? L don't want to say just where
this firm is located or who it is, but 1
don't mind telling you that when they
pay for that lumber, and I think they
are responsible for the value of that
timber, I don't think the check will be
drawn on Chippewa Falls bank. Du-
luth lumbermen amused? Oh. yes!
Think I don't know who cut it, Ell?
And as for this iron ore business, I
want to tell them that the crew which
/ had out in the northern part of the
state prospecting was headed by Capt
Jonathan Chase, who has lived in Min
neapolis for years, and has a reputa-
ton as a cruiser and prospector. 1
don't believe he spent his time pros
pecting onusllise own 7Taceount while
drawing pay from the state. We have
just sent out another crew back Of
Tower, and they are not looking for
iron ore, either, and if they find the
same condition of things that was
found by Mr.. Mcclellan, the Duluth
lumbermen may think the laugh is not
so funny as it was"
