The September folder of the Burling-
ton Route contains the first official an
nouncement of train service on the new
Toluca-Cody branch now being con-
structed into the Big Horn Basin of
Wyoming. Trains are run as far as
Bowler, distance of seventy three
miles from Toluca, Mont, the junction
of the main and branch lines. New
track is being laid at the rate of a mile
a day, and it is expected that Cody, the
town built by Buffalo Bill, will be
reached sometime in October. The
Mormon settlers in the Meeteetese and
Grey Bull valleys, who have made the
trek from Utah, are assisting in build
ing the new road, and developing what
promises to be a wonderfully rich stock
country.

MORE ABOUT ANCIENT MINES.

MORE ABOUT ANCIENT MINES.
Quoted by the Nebraska City News of
April 30, 1859, from the Wyoming Tel
escope:
Nebraska, although one of the
youngest of the territories, has her
signs of antiquity, that will furnish
material for many brilliant volumes,
and will put the most learned and ex-
perienced antiquarians and geologists
to their "brown studies" to account for
the strange and marvellous freaks of
Nature and art, which appear in our
new and flourishing territory.
Zone of the most unaccountable of
these signs of antiquity is found in our
stone quarries in Wyoming and vicinity
"About four feet above high water
mark, OH the banks of the Missouri
at our levee, is stratum of lime rock,
two feet and half in thickness, and in
the top of it, from one end of town to
the other along the levee, near mile in
length, it's whole surface is literally
filled up with tracks of wild animals of
various species and sizes, among which
are the tracks of the mink, the otter,
the fawn, the deer, the bear, the ante
lope, the buffalo, and various other
species. These tracks are deeply i'm
bedded in the rock, many of which are
scored along by the animals slipping
along for several inches OH what was
then undoubtedly a smooth clay or
soapstone, and the tracks are as plain as
any fresh ones that are made in SINH
liar substance.
'Immediately above this rock there is
a stratum of Joint Clay, or Soapstone
about six inches thick then stratum
of mixed Sandstone about one foot or so
in thickness; then stratum of pure
limestone twenty inches thick; then
stratum of clay, and above that stra-
tum of scaly, rotten limestone mixed
with clay; above which the hill slopes
gradually back to the summit, the
height of over 100 feet from the top of
the rock at a half mile distance from
the river; which bed of earth is COM
posed of stratum of tough clay; next
is bed of pure sand then loan, aud
on the surface black vegetable mould,
three feet deep, of the richest fertility.
"These tracks are not confined to the
vicinity of the river, but wherever the
same strata of rock is found, the same

series Of tracks are plainly imprinted.
"It will be seen by the foregoing that
there are four strata of rock, and over
100 feet of earth above this rock; also,
there are the fossil remains of the ter
rapin, the tortoise, the weasel the
prairie dog, the snake, the gopher, the
mink, the badger, the otter, the snail,
and many other species of animals and
insects, and many species of roots, to-
gether with shells, undoubtedly of salt
water origin, deeply imbedded in the
solid rock, and in the earth above the
rock. These are all distinct and unmis-
taxable.
"There has also been discovered, by
persons making excavations, broken
pieces of earthenware, iron, human
bones, petrified Buffalo horns, and
many fossils closely resembling the
sweet potato in formation. All of these
remains have been found at depth of
from ten to fifteen feet beneath the sur
face"
The editor then propounds six very
deep conundrums, which it is not likely
that any of his subscribers answered,
and continues:
Another wonder in Nebraska an
tiquity is the ancient mines of the
Weeping Water Valley, which have
been lately discovered.
"About six or seven miles from
Wyoming, commences the most exten-
sive operations of ancient mining that
has ever been discovered on the CONT
nent of North America. For miles in
extent, the whole country is literally
torn up and thrown into the most fam
tastic and promiscuous ridges, hillocks,
cutters, trenches, shafts, etc.
"There are the remains of furnaces,
chimneys, stone walls and earth houses,
the fragments of jugs, glass bottles, and
many other things too numerous to
mention. There have been rocks drilled
and blasted, evidently with gunpowder,
stone dressed with the hammer, and
every evidence of these operations being
carried on by civilized men, and not by
the savages that now prowl over the
prairies and rove from place to place in
quest of game.
"Old California miners, who have
visited these mines, say that it would
perhaps cost millions of dollars to do
the work that has been done there, and
the appearance of the surface is similar
to the placers of California where the
miners have been at work. It is evident
that these miners found something that
would pay them for their labor or they
would not have toiled and labored to
such vast extent.

FOUR LINES ARE TAKEN IN.

S[AB)ARD MEN
STRIKE AGAIN
MACHlNISTS RETURN TO WORK IN SA.
VANNAH ONLY TO WALK OUT ONCE
MORE STRIKERS CLAIM THAT NON
UNION MEN WERE NOT DISCHAGED

Savannah, Ga. July 80 There was
another strike OF the Seabos rd's M ach
iuists here today. 1t was of diminutive
size. but msy grow larger in proper.
ticns ss the machinists here claim that
the matter will be taken up by the
international ss,oci. tlon and may
possiaOly lead to another gehe .trl1.
The three union machlnists who
were taken back at the Seabosrd shops
afser the recent Seabosrd agreemenl
walked out this lnorning Their spsoi-
fic complaint 10 that three nOneunion
men awho were taken away from
Americus were brought here and put
to work, Besides thia there we're al
ready two nonunion men remaining
In the shops The union mon contend
that the agree ment reached at Porte
mouth was that all nonu nio men who
could be got rid Of were TO be let OUT
at once and the Old men taken back
and that others to VT ON the Company
might be bound by contract or other
wise shouId be got out as fast as pos
sib!e
TIE bringing of the three non union
men from Americus here is construed
By the men as violation of this agree-
ment. They had expected that the two
non union men already here would be
shortly discharged and that full force
Of old men would soon be at work,
The situation was communicated by
wire to President O'ConneII, of the In
ternati0nal Association of Machinists,
aud the wires we're also used to convey
the information to the other shops Of
the Seaboard. 1t is claimed the men
will stand by the strikers here. The
Seaboard fficials here have denied that
any suoh agreement as olsimed was
entered into with the mAchinists and
say that the Understandable was that
the company would exercise its own
discretion in dischar giug the non union
men.

OVERWHELMED
Mas ths Stock Market with Selling Orders
Yesterday.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
New York. March 20.---The market
was overwhelmed with selling orders
during the course of today's trading,
and there was an eager unloading OF
stocks without any bad news to alarm
them. The bull leaders attempted for
time to contest the decline, but the
market was obviously tired and re-
sponded languidly to manipulations for
the advance. When the bulls finally
ceased their efforts to check the de-
cline, prices crumbled rapidly and stop
loss orders were dislodged on large
scale. Profit taking by bears caused
considerable rally in the last hour
so that the last prices were not the
lowest, although profit taking was re
newed on the advance, making the
closing tone irregular. Taking of spec
ulative profits in Burlington was on an
enormous scale. At the opening a
half point advance was the highest.
and it was steadily under pressure for
the rest of the day. An effort was
made to substitute st. Paul and North
ern Pacific as market leaders. and Mis-
souri, Pacific was marked up very bouy-
antly to 101, crossing par for the first
time in many years. The strength of
the upward movement in Brooklyn
Transit was on report of official
changes and on buying of the same
character in Manhattan. Steel stocks
all continued strong, dealing being
mostly in the trust certificates for de-
posted stocks. U. S. 3's advanced q
