JudRe Metz ImnannhAd

: Information Was received here yes
terday that District Judge Metz of Sun
dance had been impeached by the
Wyoming legislature, charged with mall
feasance in office. 1t seems Judge Metz
was the attorney for an estate some
years ago, previous to his elevation to
the bench, the administrator Of which
defaulted to the amount of $4,000. In
settlement Of the matter it is claimed
that attorney Metz, advised the heirs to
accept from the administrators certain
real estate. This was done, and when
Attorney Metz became Judge Metz he
confined the matter in court. The heirs
now claim hat the estate so transferred
was without any value and heavily en-
numbered, and claim that Attorney Metz
was fully aware Of these facts. Action
was commenced by the heirs before
Judge Riner Of the United States court,
who, upoh the showing made. ordered
tine case reopened and the cancellation
Of the transfer. The matter was then
taken up by the state legislature now
in session in CHEYENNE. the result being
as reported, the impeachment of the
judge. The case seems to be a peculiar
one, and in all probability Judge Metz
will on trial, if such is made, be able to
put a different face on the matter

Receiver Appointed.

After nine months waiting, says a Hot
Springs special Of the 3lst ult. to the
Lincoln Journal, the long looked for
decision in the case Of Dudley, Jennings
ct al. VS.. The Dakota Hot Springs COM
pany has been made. Judge Gardner
confirmed the report of the referee in
part and decided that a receiver should
be appointed for the Dakota Hot Springs
company, giving the parties interested
until Z o'clock last evening to try and
select a man who would be satisfactory
to both. They finally decided on ii. J..
Curtiss, agent for the b. d NJ. in this
city, formerly Of Omaha. AS the prop
erty OF the company amounts 10
thing near a million dollars, including
the Evans hotel, the principal bath
houses, the plunge bath and other large
interests, Mr.. Curtiss will no doubt re
sign his position. The court also made
a ruling that Mr.. Evans, the president
of the company, should receive $4,000
out of the first monies received after
payment Of the principal mortgage of
100000, before division was made
among the stockholders, The appoint
ment was something of a surprise to
Hot Springs people, but is generally
conceded to be a good one.

done by going from Crown Hill. The

The Edgemont Smelter.

From Mr.. Goddard of the Express we
learn that orders have been placed with
the EdCemont Stone Co., for 20 car loads
ofbuilding stone to be used in the con-
struction Of the smelter at that place
which is now an assured fact. The
stone will be taken from the dgemont

which the B. & Nj. has a switch The
quarry is one of the most wonderful in
the country. 1t is about so feet thick and
practically all what is known as grind
stone, with a three foot layer of glass

harder than the grindstone Pioneer.

A GOLD STAMPEDE.
Ore Found in the Limestone Belt West
OF this City Which Gave a Re-
turn of al 76 90 Per Ton.

turn of $1,000 Per Ton.
The most exciting stampede to occur
in this place for years was that of last
Wednesday night, when every available
means of transportation was utilized in
transporting the excited gold seekers to
the scene of a new discovery in the
limestone range.
The Juror was created by a test made
by Pitcher Bros. assayers, upon surface
ore found about 10 miles west of this
place by w. A. Nelson, and which gave
a return of Sl75.00 per ton. Mr.. Nelson
had been prospecting in the lime belt
for a number of days in the interest of
himself, G.. B. Hitch, w. M. Granger
and NJ. j. Bailey Of this place. and had
made a number of locations in different
localities, submitting the ores to assay
test, which showed values ranging from
$500 to 600 per ton, but he broke the
record and set the town ablaze with ex.
element when, or Wednesday afternoon
he had a test made upon ore from a
a claim located in the name OF George
b. Hitch, with the result stated. The
effort made to keep the matter secret
was a fiat failure, and in q few hours
after the test was made the woods was
full Of anxious men, and before the sun
had gilded the crests of the outlying
mountains the country was staked for
miles in all directions. The ore is of "a
reddish character, fine grained and
strikingly similar to the higher grade
ores Of Ragged Top.
This character OF ore is very abundant
in the region, the whole face of the
country for miles being literally covered
with float, and it is believed that it is
OILY Il question of a short time when
verticals will be found similar to those
of the Ragged Top camp. Ore taken
from Mr.. Changers claim, adjoining
that of Mr.. Hitch, which gave the large
return, assayed Sl6.20 per ton, and the
sample tested was a piece of detached
rock found upon the surface upon which
the moss and lichen was plainly visible.
There has been no development upon
either of these claims as yet, and it is
expected that much better results will
be obtained by the attainment of depth.
For the better information Of our
readers w desire to state that the camp
is located about p miles northwest Of
the old and well known Penobscot
mine, II miles northerly from Earl
Peterson's ranch. At this time the
snow is about one foot in depth in that
locality and prospecting is consequently
exceedingly difficult, but this does not
seem to prevent, to any material extent.
the mad rush to the attractive scene,
and the glorious end is not yet.
