The Horse Race E;:: i.lSnt Is by LonE
 Odds the Least of It.
 It Is matter Of twenty odd miles from London to Fps om. ill whose vii einity the historic race course lies, and samples of almost every curious thing there is in old England are to be seen along the various roadways. If there were but one road to Epson, half of the procession that starts from Lon- don on the morning of Derby day would be left struggling in the out skirts of the city long after the great race had been run. But there are many, though none too many, since each is packed to the point of discom- fort from early dawn until far into the night.
 The Derby is q thing for the foreign CT to see once and ever afterward to hold in grateful memory. because it is all experience that could never repeat itself to the satisfaction of tue mere onlooker. Primarily it is, of course, 6 horse race, but the race, which occu- pies such q feeting breath of time, is by long odds the least of it. Other wise it is an expression of Britishism such as may not be witnessed upon any other occasion. It is the one day in the year, I believe, on which Eng fish society levels itself out upon the first principle of the brotherhood of man. "Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief" without distinction and with perfect camaraderie, come together with the evident if unconscious pur pose of proving that to be merely Brit ish is all that any true Briton can req sonably desire.
 The foreigners are the only specta. tors. Everybody else is 'in the cast" as 1t were, and it is difficult to judge whether the king, with his nobles and their bevy of brilliantly attired ladies, or the coster in his donkey cart, with "the missus and the kids,' is the lead ing actor. Perhaps it would be bet ter to call it a variety show and to de- eide that each in his turn" is a star in his own particular performance Leslie's Weekly.

BIG DEAL IN OIL LANDS.
Chicago Men Buy Holdings of BeIgo-
American Co. in Wyoming.

The arrival here of Fred ]. Lobelf. the
Chicago attorney. to look after the tan
gled affairs of the oil company owning
much land in the Popo Agile fields dis
closed the fact that the Belgo-American
company has sold out it's entire holdings
TO Joseph H. Lobell, says a Lander dis
Patch to the Cheyenne Leader.
The consideration is reported to have
been 100000. The property consists of
several hundred acres of oil lands only
part of which have been patented They
have thirteen flowing wells and are now
selling sixty barrels a day to the North
western railroad for the operation of an
oil-burning engine being tested on that
road. The tests are proving successful.
and it is expected that the company will
place an order for $500 barrels a day to
operate all of its engines between here
and Omaha.
The Lobells stand a good chance of los

ployes of the company. who claim the
assessment work was not kept up. The
jumpers assert that the Lobells adopted
the subterfuge of simply moving a set
of drilling tools from one claim to an
other and leaving them remain for a time
The Lopells are making preparations to
fight the case. as il is estimated the
value of the five wells jumped is over

ORE WORTH $500 TON
AT ROSES WELLS, NEV.

Rhyolite, Feb 15.-What may prove to
be the richest strike ever made in this
district was made public this morning
by J. A Largent of the Rhyolite Min
ing and Brokerage company. The strike
was made by Tom Leroy, an old pros
pector and one of the pioneers of Gold
fleld. Nevada. about four miles north OF
Roses Wells on the San Pedro railroad.
LeRoys actions since his arrival in
camp two days ago have been shrouded
in mystery. Several of the large broker
age firms had representatives in his usual
haunts, but no one succeeded in locating
him until this afternoon. when he called
at one of the local assaying offices and
got his certificates. He was followed by
an immense crowd to the offices Of Judge
Ray, whose firm announced that the as
says on the rock from the Chicasaw claim
ran $3.50 to the ton. while twelve assays
from his other claims averaged $500 per
ton.
Leroy is typical of this country, about
forty yer9s of age. modest and unasSum-
ing, he attributes his great luck solely
TO perseverance; he had prOspeted all
around the strike for several months and
located claims running in values from s.
TO 80: he had decided to come int ocamp
and Try to dispose of these when he ran
across fellow prospector almost dead
| from exposure and thirst lying in gull
ley between two big lodges. He did all
in his power to save this man, but to no
avail He died a few hours after and
his body now acts as one of the location
monuments for property that Leroy, a
poor man, has refused half a million dol
lars for.
The sheriff left this afternoon for
Roses well. Leroy leaves in an automo-
bile for the strike tonight. Not less than
80 people are preparing to leave here to-
morrow for the scene

While there has not been a great deal
of whnoping and hurrahing about the rich
mines in this locality. yet their true merit
is being demonstrated in a most practical
way. says the Elko Free Press.
The Gold-Quarfz has paid its way from
the grass roots, and now from the recent
rich strikes a shipment of ore is TO be
made from Beowawe to Salt Lake. con-

about $50 10 the ton. This rich treasure
will be sent by express. Besides this. il
is learned that two cars of ere will he
shipped TO Salt Lake averaging about s5ao

All OF the ere to be sent by express is
from the two rich strikes on the Golden
Quartz. recently published in this paper.
On the Trout lease the recent strike
proves to be a six-foot ledge. carrying
gold. silver and copper averaging si25 per
