Big Creek, Oct. 10.

f NJ. Wheeler. a Colorado min
err. who came into this country
last year, is working on a group
of eight claims at the iuncture of
Big Creek and the Platte. The
west extension of these claims is
about i mile from the Gibraltar,
which created such a stir last
spring.
The claims in which Mr.. Wheel
er is interested were located last
spring, and several hundred dol
lars worth of prospecting work
has been done. Mr.. Wheeler and
Dave Bird, who is also interested.
took in a load of supplies Monday
and will work on the Home For
tune this coming winter. The
Home Fortune lead is seven feet
in width on the surface. An
open cut has been made on this
some 30 feet in length and 16 feet
in depth. The vein matter is a
lime and iron formation with a
streak of bull quartz running
through the lead. This bull
quartz is shot through with cop
per glance. The iron carries good
values in gold.

Thomas Hunter are interested in
this group of claims also.
The Cox mine, now closed,
which made such an excellent
showing in copper glance and
gold, is also in the vicinity of
these claims, being about a mile
south. Nothing has been done
on the Cox property for some
time, and the prospect of work
soon is not good. This claim
gave excellent values and should
be worked.
The Gibraltar has been closed
down since spring. G. E. Win
ter and S. L. Phelps of En-
campment, are interested in this
proposition, and it was intended
to put in "a plant of machinery
this spring aud push development

close down and they were not
able to tell anything definite

The Situation in Richmond.

Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gazette.
Richmond, Va, June 26, noon.-
Under the protection Of the militia,
which now thoroughly patrols the most
dangerous portion of the city as we'll as
guards the cars and other property of
the street railroad company, there is a
growing feeling of security. The situa-
ton was quiet this morning. Cars be-
gan running on regular schedule through
out the city, each manned by from six
to eight soldiers with fixed bayonets.
New men are handling the motors and
collecting fares. The appearance of
the streets is much the same as usual,
save for the presence of the soldiery, and
business is progressing. The cars were
fairly well patronized by the general
public today for the first time.
The only disturbance of any conse-
quence last night was in the West End,
where a group of rioters fired on several
cars. On the last car fired upon two
soldiers and the motorman were wound
ed Sergeant Charles Easley, of Lynch
burg, seriously in the hip; his brother Pri-
vate John Easley, in the leg and Motor
man Warford, of Baltimore, slightly, in
the hand. The soldiers in each instance
returned the fire, but so far as known
none of the rioters was injured. Two of
the rioters were arrested. A large force
of soldiers is on duty today in Fulton, a
suburb, where many of the strikers live.
Another force is carefully patrolling the
vicinity of 25th and 7 streets, one of the
worst districts in the city.
Richmond, June 26-2 p. m.-The
strike situation is quiet. Cars are OPP
Grating peacefully and on schedule time.
The struggle is by no means over but in
dications now point to ultimate victory for
the company without actual declaring of
martial law. The Alexandria troops are
in good shape and so far there have beep
no casualties among them.

Today's race was for the cup offered by
!. Pierpont Morgan. The emperor
sailed his own yacht, the American
built schooner Meteor, while Prince
Henry was at the wheel Of the Induna.

prospects of an excellent race. En-
peror William, attired in a COMP lete
suit of oilskins, took the wheel of the
Meteor and sailed her in most skillful
manner. The Empress is sailing on
the lnduno while Admiral Cotton is the
Kaiser's guest board the Meteor.

was between the Cometand the Navahoe
