SILVER PEAKS MICH STRIKE Y.

A Carson dispatch of May 2 says:
Word came to this city to-day of a re-
markable gold strike in the Silver Peak
mines, the property Of the Blairs OF New
Jersey, and over which a fortune has
been spent in litigation. s. A Knapp and
DIR. Berry. both OF Hawthorne. brought
the news. They report that the company
has had a force Of fifteen men at work re-
Gently, under the direction Of Samuel
WATSON. In following a small stringer they
came upon a treasure-house of gold mug
gets. In one day more than 500, 900 was
taken out and the pocket" has not
yielded all of its wealth.
For many years the Silver Peak mines
have attracted the attention of mining
men and many experts have declared
that they we're the greatest low grade
properties in the world. Charles Lane
visited the camp only a few months ago
and made an offer to the Blairs for the
claims. His proposition involved a time
payment, which was declined. The ow-
ners demanded $4,000 cash, no time,
no bond and no conditions. John w.
Macksy also took a look at the property,
but %relinquished his intention OF a pos
sible purchase because the claims were
being fought over in the courts and he
could not get a clear title. As he ex-
pressed it, he refused to buy a law suit. "

Salt Lake City, Jan. 3O.-A special
to the Deseret News from Cheyenne,
Wyo., says: A mob of 100 armed men
is patrolling the railroad yards at
Casper, waiting for the return OF
Sheriff Tubbs and his prisoner,
Charles W. Woodland, the murderer OF
Sheriff Kicker, who was killed three
weeks ago in the Rattlesnake noun
tains while pursuing Woodland and
two other escaped prisoners. Armed
men are guarding the stage stations
and others are watching the county
Jail. Every street leading to the Jail
is being watched, and it is almost
certain that Woodland will be lynched
unless state troops interfere.
Acting Gov. Chatterton has in
str,Gted the Casper militia company
to be in readiness to move, but they
probably will not be ordered out un-
less the sheriff asks for assistance.
This it is thought, he will not care
to do, as the people seem determined
to take the law into their own hands.
Casper is filling up with cowboys,
ranchmen, miners and others.

THE WAR TAXES.
The House Ways and Means Committee
Fav0rs . BILL to Repeal All
OF Them.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee held a private conference
last night and decided to frame q
bill for the reduction Of war revenue
taxes before proceeding further with
the subject Of Cuban reciprocity.
Chairman Payne at once called q
meeting Of the full committee for IL
o'clock this morning, when work on
the war revenue reduction bill will
begin. No draft of bill has been
prepared by the republican members,
but it is pretty fully understood that
the majority is prepared to favor a
measure effecting very large reduc-
tons, amounting practically to a re-
peal of the entire war taxes and ag-
gregating about S6s,OoO,Oo0. The re-
striction of recent hearings to beer
and tea led to the belief that reduce
tons might be confined to these two
articles, but the sentiment of the ma
jority now appears to be favorable to
a much larger reduction.
