SURVEYS IN WYOMING.
The Government Proposes to Expend $50.
900 on the Work This Year, all on
Contracts,

Laramie. Wyo,. April 20.-It is
learned here to-day that the govern
ment will expend between S15,0OO and
$2O,OOO this year in making survey
of mining lands In this section. The
survey will extend to The Colorado

the lowest bidder and no deputy sur
veyor will be allowed to do more
than 5000 worth of work. The land
office in Washington has placed GER
tain restrictions on surveyors. which,
it is claimed, will greatly restrict the
bids. inasmuch ns they must state
the price at so much per mile. The
area for each contract will also be
specified by the United States land
office, also in what particular sec
tion the work is To he done. The trou-
BILE in these restrictions arises in the
fact that in certain portions of the
snowy range it is practically impossi-
BILE 10 make an acurate survey. In
this section there are no less than thir-
ty-three lakes. many of which are sur

already been surveyed twice. but in
each Instance the government has re-
fused to accept the work. 1t can be
seen from this how important IT is

SILVER NEW ENGLAND.
Mr.. Towne Says the Cause Is Growinl
There.


Washington. April 2O.-Chas. Towne
chairman of the Silver Republican
party. has just returned from n trip To
New England. where he has been for
the purpose of working up an interest
in The coming Silver Republican con-
ference. He is very much encouraged
AT the outlook. and expects 10 see II
very crcditablc and enthusiastic show
ing al the conference of silver men, by
Silver Republicans from New England
and other States. Mr.. Towne says it is
II great mistake TO suppose that there
are no Silver Republicans in New Eng
land There was not time 10 effect an
organization during the last campaign.
and the silver Republicans voted aud
acted with the Silver Democrats. but
there are enough of them to make n
very good showing when the convcn-
tion is held. Mr.. Townc also found n
condition of things which agrceably
surprised him. The men who were al
most ostracised last year for support
ing silver. now have many converts
from the ranks who supported the gold
ranks. while there are no dcsertions
from the silver forces. Mr. Towne
says that the gold men will not be able
to build tariff so high that they can
forever keep New England from the
cause of silver.
After his arrival in Washington Mr..
Townc had consultations with Senator
Jones of the Democratic committee and
other silver leaders both Democratic
and former Republicans, as well ms
with the Popnlisis. He intends to con.
tinue his work in different States.
