Jenkins Refuses.

MILWAUKEE,, March 23.-Judge
Jenkins today refused a petition of the
Clybourne Park company of Chicago,
in the Wisconsin Central receivership,
holding that the company was not en-
titled to equitable relief because it
permitted gambling on its premises in
opposition to the laws of Illinois. The
Central company repudiated a contract
to run trains from Chicago to ely
bourne Park at the rate of SIT per car
and demanded $50 per car. The receiv-
ers held that the contract was burden
some. Judge Jenkins said that if it
were not for the gambling, he would
have ordered a referee to determine just
how far i. was burdensome and in
event Of it's being but slightly so would
have overruled the action of the receiv-
ers by virtue of the general powers of
the court in receivership cases.

IN WILLOW CREEK DISTRICT.
Dc LIE Vans Experience in Opening
Up New Mines.


Mr. D. B De LIE Van of Willow Creek
mining district, Ida, is in the city for
the purpose of examining concen-
traitors. frue vanners and other mining
machinery. Mr.. De LIE Van informs
Tie Herald that he IS one of the pio-
neers of Willow Creek district, having
gone in there in 1883, at which time he
made several locations. 1t was not
until 1894, however, when he took his
wife and settled in the new district.
Then he began mining in primitive
way His first performance in this
line consisted in pulverizing ore in a
lard bucket, his wife sitting the pulp
through -four sieve. In this man.
ner he made enough money TO put in a
small arasta. and with this he took out
$500 or 500 in twenty-one days.
In the spring of 1895 the Richmond
brothers put in a small custom stamp
mill. to which Mr.. De LIE Van took
eighteen tons of ore, which netted him
81 200 in gold, and with this money he
put in a small tension Huntington mill
of his own, since which time, although
working only al intervals, he has taken
out from So, 900 to $4,000. Mr. De lie
Van owns five full claims in Willow

developed. The veins are contact be-
tween porphyry and granite. the ore

fo twenty feet in width, and averaging

How the Proposed Road Will Bene-
fit Southern Utah.

fit Southern Utah.
Speaking of the benefits which a rail-
road through southern Utah will be to the
state Representative Andrus of Washing
ton county said yesterday:
"a road to southern Utah will open up
some of the richest copper mines in the
world. We have a whole mountain of
copper in Washington county ami just
across the line in Arizona are more cop
per mines that are as good as can be
for transportation facilities to be de-
veloped The output of the Arizona
mines would all come this way with a
road to the southern part of the state and
Utah smelters would get the benefit of it
as much as though the mines were in
Utah.
Then too we have down there some of
the richest mines. The Silver Reef mines
are being worked only by a few chlorid-
erS but with an advance in silver and a
means of transportation, they would go
to work full blast and southern Utah
would boom.
Besides the mining interests that would
be developed which include vast beds OF
iron and coal, by the advent of the road
which in themselves represent an i'm
mense valuation, the road would open uI
the biggest garden in creation and north
ern Utah would buy her early garden
ing to send to California for il
Then too we would feed a great
many cattle. There is no such cattle
/ country anywhere as in Southern Utah,
but we can't sell fat cattle because we
have no means of shipping. We have to
/ sell our cattle to be fattened in Ne
braska and other states, and that means
that we can't get anything like the
price we could if we had shipping facil-
/ tiles and could fatten them.
But this is not all, our cotton and
fruit industries, which are only in theiI
infancy because of lack of transporta-
ton, would soon become among the chief
I interests of the state
Mr.. Andrus was enthusiastic as he con.
Guided. ooh. I tell you, give us a rail
road and We'll show you the greatest

Mnrderous Tramps.

DENVER, March 23.-A special to the
News from La Junta, Colo, says: This
morning as Santa Fe train No. east
bound was taking siding at Robinson,
five tramps were discovered on the
front end of the train. The porter and
brakeman unloaded them, but they
again boarded the train and as Con-
ductor Lands went forward to assist
in putting the tramps off, the five drew
revolvers and commenced shooting. The
train crew retreated uninjured and
wired the authorities for assistance,
which was sent from La Junta and the
entire gang was arrested at Las Ami
mas. Three 45-cahbre Colts revolyers
were found with large supplies of am
munition. The tramps all had money
and cutlery, and are thought to be bur
glars and possibly implicated in the
Barndollar murder committed in Pu-
eblo Friday night. All are well-dressed
but tough-looking. They will be
brought to La Junta for examination.
