Judge of Alaska.

The President has sent to the
Senate the name of Hon. M. G.
Brown, of Laramie, to be Judge
of Alaska. The salary at present
is but $4,000 per year, but there
is a bill pending in Congress to
increase the salary to $4,000 per
year, on account of the great ex-
pense of living there.
Judge Brown is a well known
legal light i'll this state, and has
always been very prominent in
politics. He is a very able man
and will fill the position with
great credit. THE Sun, in COM
mon with his many other friends

ulations, while it regrets that the
state will lose him if he concludes

SHEEP ON THE DESERT.
Have Wintered in Fine Shape-A Bar
rem Desert Waste Crowded With
Over a Million Sheep.

H. D. Blydenburgh, the presi-
dent of the Jack Greek Land and
Cattle Co., who recently returned
from the Red Desert, where his
sheep are ranging this winter, as
usual, says that the winter has
been very fine and that the loss
will be less than two per cent, the
greatest loss arising from what
few the coyotes have gotten now
and then, Mr.. Blydenburgh says
the desert was SO badly crowded
with sheep this winter that it was
almost impossible to find feed for
his focks. He estimates that
there + now on the Red Desert
fully 100000 head of sheep.
The question of range in that
country is as much a puzzle to
the sheep mel as it is in any part
of the entire state. There are no
streams in that country. The
country consists of salt marshes
and short stunted bushes, inter
spersed with a short growth of
grass and the entire area is totally
unfit for anything but a winter
sheep rarge, and not adapted to
that dnless there be sufficient
snow to furnish water for the
sheep.

A DANGE RoUS JOB.
Miners in the Rudefeha Mine Working
Directly Under the Old Shaft,
Which has about rs or
30 feet of Water
In II.

The miners in the Rudefehs
copper mine have been at work
the past ten days, gradually max
ing their way upward from the
100 foot level, to the bottom OF
the old shaft, which contains Is
or so feet of water. The levels
running out from the old shaft are
also full of water and the job has
been to work up to, and let this
water out gradually, without
drowning the miners like rats in a
trap. There was water enough in
the old shaft and the S5 foot levels
to food the new level and probab-
ly part of the shaft.
Hon. George Ferris went up to
the mine yesterday. He said he
was quite sure the boys in the
mine would have the work done
by the time he sot there, as they
only had from ten to twelve feet
to go when he was up there last.
1t has taken some nerve to do
this work. While the nature of
the formation is such that there
was hardly any danger Of o cave
in from above, still there has been
an element of danger connected
with the work after nearing the
the bottom of the old shaft.
This opening up of a connection
between the 100 foot level aud the
old shaft has been much needed
to create an air draught through
the mine. Up to the present
time the men have had to work
in very bad air, occasioned by the
smoke from the blasts not
being able to be cleared out. The
opening up of the passage between
the new and the old level has
done away with all of this trou-
BILE and furnishes the miners with
pure air very shortly after each
shot has been set off.

THEY RAN AWAY.
When the Stern Parent said "No" they
concluded to Risk it Anyway.

Thomas Elwood, the mail con-
tractor from Encampment to Bat
lie, and Miss Bessie Humphreys
of this place, were married at the
residence of Justice of the Peace,
w. T.. Peryam, on Encampment,
last Saturday night. They had
intended to be married at the
same time that j. T. McAnulty
and Miss Wilson were, but they
were prevented by doing so by the
objection of the brides mother,
who thought her daughter too
young to marry. The license had
been procured, the wedding
clothes made and all was ready
for the event when Mr.. Elwood
should appear. He came down
from Encampment Saturday even
ing and when he saw how matters
had turned out took his intended
with him to Encampment, where
they were married hat night.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Humph-
reys, who formerly lived at Bat
tie, but now reside here. She is a
very bright and attractive girl and
has a host of friends. Mr.. Elwood
is engaged in carrying the mail
from the Transfer, half way be-
tween Encampment and Battle, to
the latter place. He is said TO be
a very excellent young man and a
hustler for business. Every one
who knows him speaks we'll of
him and they all wish the newly
welded couple all the happiness
they SO richly deserve.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
Gilman MeKinnie's Fall From a Horse
Causes Conclusion of the Brain.

Gilman McKinnie is in a criti-
cal condition brought about by a
fall from his horse. When he fell
he lighted on his back and struck
the back of his head very hardly,
producing conclusion of the brain.
At this writing he is resting easily,
but his physician has enjoined ab-
solute quiet.
He had gone on one of his daily
coyote hunts, this time toward the
old sandstone quarry. Near the
latter place, in galloping over the
country, the horse must either
have fallen, or, perhaps, both. The
horse, with the saddle turned,
came home accompanied by three
of the hounds; the other two chung
to their master. A search was in
slituted, discovering Gilman at the
above mentioned place. He was
in a semi-conscious condition,
which still lasts.
incidentally, the faithfulness of
the dog was beautifully illustrated.
The peculiar actions of a horse
and dog on the flats south of Raw
Inns, was remarked. 1t was the
yellow hound trying to drive the
pony into town. By working at
its head and heels the dog finally
succeeded in driving the horse
across the tracks where the milk
man picked it up. The dogs pur-
pose was obvious; and but for this
purpose, Mr.. McKinnie told us,
this hound would have been the
last to leave his master. -Rawlins

Careless Shooting in Town Limits

There is entirely too much care

inhabitants. There is no neces-

No serious damage has been done
as yet, but hat does not signify
that some one is not going to suf-
fer by it, sooner or later, either by
losing their life or receiving a SER

stringent law against the careless
handling of firearms and all such
cases should be promptly reported
to Deputy Sheriff George w. Sis
