WORK IN THE MINES OF WYOMING.
Gold, silver and Copper Taken Out
DnrfnE the Winter Months.

BUFFALO, WYo., Jan. 22.-(Specal)-
Work in the thinning camps of Johnson
county has not been suspended during the
present winter, and in large number of
mining properties the amount Of develop
ment work which has been done is greater
than that accomplished during the more
favorable seasons. One OF the most active
of the camps is that known as Bull Camp,
in the Big Horn mountains. Rich discov-
cries of gold ore in this district last spring
resulted in the establishment of a number
of mining companies, composed mainly Of
local men, which have since that time been
actively engaged In development work in the
district. The Johnson County company,
composed of a number of Buffalo business
men, has built fine shaft house on its
property, and has shaft down fifty feet.
The lead followed by the shaft contains
20 per cent copper. The members of the
company are well satisfied with their pros
poets, and intend equipping the mine with
an air drill and improved machinery.
Messrs. Burns & Nicholson OF Lincoln,
Neb., are shafting a short distance from the
Johnson County company's mine. They have
gone down seventy feet, and have well
defined lead of gold and silver bearing rock,
with occasional pockets OF copper, showing
400 pounds of pure copper to the ton, The
mine will be equipped with hoisting ma
chinery and drills before further develop
Inent work is done.
The Monte Carlo and Monte Christie mines,
owned by an Omaha company, headed by
Paxton G. Gallagher, are both fine copper
properties. shaft has been put down
fifty feet, and a large lead of copper GRE is
being followed.
During the past week w. H. Holland,
acting as the representative of eastern in
vestors, purchased the Copper Hill, Gold
Standard and independence claims in the
Bull Camp district, and is now preparing to
operate on an extensive scale in the work
Of developing thom.
Among these interested in the district are
a number of railway officials connected with
the B. & NJ. line and as soon as developments
in the region have progressed sufficiently
to get out paying quantities of shipping ore
il is believed branch line will be run from
the Burlingtons Wyoming extension to the

GEORGE DIXON BEsTs MURPHY
CoIorcd Champion Defeats the Irish
mum in Six Hounds.

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-George Dixon.
champion featherwelght pugilist of the
world, defeated Australian Billy Murphy of
Cincinnati in six rounds tonight at the Broad
way Athletic club. Murphy was trained
rather fine, and when he was stripped tonight
the general impression was that he would
never be able TO go the stipulated twenty
rounds. Dixon, on the contrary, never
looked in better shape, and he was made a
pronounced favorite. his friends backing him
literally at two to one. During the first
half of the fight Murphy held his own.
Whenever Dixon would lead with the left,
Murphy invariably swung his right on the
back Of the head and sent home some good
body blows. but at all times he judged dis
tance very badly. DiXons double blow with
the left puzzled Murphy very much, and the
colOred boy landed it a dozen times during
the contest. From the fourth round to the
end OF the fight. Murphy grew visibly weak,
but Dixon showed no effect from Murphys
blows, and at the opening Of the sixth round
was by far the fresher man. The blow
which knocked Murphy out was peculiar
one. II was 4 left swing, combined with
kind of spurt and the butt of DiXons left
hand caught Murphy in the pit Of the
stomach. II doubled him up, and he fell
on bis hands and knees to the floor, whore
he groped about helplessly until he was

THAT CITY MAnsnAL An FLORENCE.
lie il Now Made Defendant In n Suit
for $500 Damages.

willard Green, the city marshal OF the
village of Florence, who achieved such no.
torlety for his oyerzealous o1iciousness in
arrestng a party of bicycling delegates to
the American Law league last summer, Is
in trouble again. He has been sued in the
district court for $500 damages for alleged
malicious persecution, false arrest and a
long line Of similar charges.
The plantiff in the case Is ID. r. Meyers,
the proprietor OF a livery barn in Florence.
He alleges that Green. in his capacity as
poundmaster, brought several COWS TO his
barn and ordered him, Meyers, to conGne the
animals and release them only upon the or
ders or directions Of Green. The petition al
leges that. acting In accordance with these
instructions, two OF the COWS were released
and turned over to their owner upon the Or
der OF Green and another cow was turned
over to its owner upon the payment of 81
as directed by Green. The petition further
alleges that on the following day Green
swore out a complaint in the local justice
court in which lie charged Meyers with
breaking into the city pound and liberating
certain animals confined there.
Meyers alleges that Green served this COM
plant upon him and placed him In the city
lookup, where he was confined several days.
When the case came TO trial 1t Is alleged
that Green utterly failed TO make case and
Meyers was discharged. lie now sues Green
and his bondsmen for $500 for the infamy
and disgrace which has been brought upon
him. and charges that Green has wilfully and
maliclously prosecuted him.

would tend to make flood less severe. for
1t is the thick ice In the rivers which forms
