PRINCE OF WALES AND FAMILY
A Dutiful Son, Loving Husband and
Devoted Father.

In the Ladies' Home Journal George
Smalley writes Interestingly of The
Personal Side Of the Prince of Wales.
The domestic relations of the prince, :"
he says, ARE not a topic for free dis
cusslon, but at least one may saw that
one source of the general regard for
him is his bearing both to the queen
and to the princess of Wales in public.
Numerous public occasions have pre-
sented the prince in an attitude of af-
fectionate Difference to the queen
which is plainly no matter of decorum
but personal son to the mother;
and when the princess was present
the husband to the wife
Those who know will tell you how
deep has been the devotion of the
father to his children from their in
fancy and youth, when the prince
used to be in the nursery early each
morning, down to the present matur-
nifty. A word may be said also of his
brotherly affection for the Empress
Frederick, who has so narrowly missed
or at most nOminally shared for a
short three months, one Of the great
est imperial thrones IN the world. 1t
was her nearness to Homburg which
WIS among the inducements that
brought her brother there regularly.
He was constantly at the old Schloss,
where till her new Palace was finished
she lived. The empress was constantly
in Homburg-her carriage, with its
black horses and the familiar imperial
liveries, always in front of the Princes

TIE most exciting stampede to occur

Transporting the excited gold seekers to
the scene of a new discovery in the
limestone range.
The Juror was created by n 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 $1,000 per ton. Mr.. Nelson

record and set the town ablaze with ex-
element when, on Wednesday afternoon
he had a test made upon ore from a

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

There has been no development upon

expected that much better results will
be obtained by the attainment of depth.
For the better information of our
readers VT desire to state hat the camp

the old and well known Penobscot
mine, u miles northerly from Earl

Judge Metz Impeached.

/ Information vas 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 that 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, upoL the showing made. ordered
the case reopened and the cancellation
Of the transfer. The matter was then
taken up by the state legislature 10
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 natter

After nine months waiting, says q Hot

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 Il. 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 $47, COO
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.
