The Duller matter was called up by the
following report presented by the com
mittee on lire nnd wnter works :
"Your committee to whom was refer
red n communication of John H. Butler ,
asking that Ids resignation be not ac
cepted until the charges made against
him bo investigated , would rcspeottully
report that we have made such investiga
tion and find that Mr , Duller collected
as buihlinp inspector the sum of $447.50
for permits issued , and that lie reported
fUQ on hand in his report of April 1,1885 ;
but in Ids report of 1880 lie failed to make
any return for amount on hand. In
justice to Mr , Butler wo would state" that
lie claims that this portion of Ids report
was omitted by a mistako'incopying ; and
wo Iiud that the testimony would favor
this claim. Wo would also state that
evidently Mr. Butler did not expect the
council to call for this amount , as ho did
not turn over the same to his successor in
otlico. The law uudor which Mr , Butler
acted as building inspector did not com-
ycl him to turn over any funds except
ou demand of the council , and
we therefore find no orimiual Intent
on the part of Mr. Butler in holding the
funda. With regard to the tilling ot cis
terns and use of engines for pumping ,
your committee ia unable to ascertain the
amount received aa no record whatever
was kept , and Mr. Duller testifies himself
that bo docs not know what amount was
received. Wo find this portion of ( ho fire
department's business wns done n loose
nnd careless innunor. And wo further
find that Mr. Hutler' ' hn4 disregarded the
ordinances of the , 'eHjH in reference to
purchases made ann In'llio appointment
and discharge of m nbur of the lire de
partment. Wo recominqndlhatJMr.Butlcr
bo instructed to torn < over nil funds in

that the city attorney prepare nn ordi
nance defining the powers nnd duties of
the chief engineer , of , the lire depart
ment. "
An attempt was lunde'by Mr. Dailey to

effectual , nnd the report of the committee

k KEEP
A Little Legal Dlfforonoo Between the
County ana City Authorities.
Considerable attention is being at
tracted to the habeas corpus case in
Judge McCullocli'a court , In which the
release of Chase Green from the county
Jail ia being attempted. Green was fined
$50 andcoata in Judge Stenberg's court for
an rt sauU upon a fpllovV colored citi/.on ,
Joe James , and in default of payment ol
his line wns sentenced to scrv'o n term of
fifty days in the county jail. Now comes
Green's attorney , Pat O. Hawes , and
seeks Green's release on a habeas corptn
Writ on the ground that under the state
law the prisoner is allowed sf8 per day
for time served , nnd that Groom lias ac
cordingly served his time. Judge Ston-
berg claims that Green was sentenced
under nn ordinance of the city providing
tor the keeping ot city prisoners
In the county hill nnd holds
that the prisoner , while serving his sen
tence for a municipal offense , does not
como under the jurisdiction of the slate
laws. Judge McCulloeli Ims been an
noyed by n number of similar cases of
late , and has decided to use Green's casi
ng a test one to establish n precedent for
future cases of the kind. He accordingly
asked the county commissioners to take
some action in the matter that nn under
standing may bo arivcd at between the
county and rity authorities. The com
missioners have requested County Attor
ney Cowln to file nn opinion with tno
board upon thn matter.
' . 'There is but little question as to what
General Cowin's opinion will bo , " .said
Judge Stcnborg in speaking ot the mat
ter to a But : reporter last evening. "Ho
will decide that the county is not bound
and in fact has no right to
keep the prisoners sent up
by the city authorities except
for such offenses as came under the juris
diction of the statutes. The result will
bo Hint all of the prisoners lined for petty
oIUuisos , such ns drunkenness , and other
violations of the city ordinances , will
have to bo conlined in the city jail while
serving out their lines. Wo have no room
for them and will probably have to chain
them out or build a prisoners' pound in
which to keep them and Idre a guard for
them. "
General Cowin's opinion will bo filed
with the county commissioners on Satur
day , nnd will bo looked for with interest
by both the county and city authorities.
Two Youthful Tourists.
The great faith the American public
have in the faithfulness and kind heart-
cdness of the railroad oflicial.s was no
ticeably exemplified at The depot last
night. The incoming "overland" train
on the Union Pacific brought in little
Miss Sarali Tabor , aged nine years , who
was going to Wnupnea , Win. , after sev
eral weeks' visit in Cedar Rapids , Neb.
She was entirely alone save a generously
filled lunch basket , a ticket and tlio
promised naro of the tram officials , who
will not fail to turn their charge over to
their successors on connecting roads and
new divisions , with positive instructions
to "lookout for this little girl. " Sarah
is just as safe in the giiardiaiiRhip of the
railroad boys as if her mother , grand
mother and her sister were witli her and
twice as independent.
The outgoing "overland" carried
James Boddy , a youth of ten years ,
bound for Dillon , Mont. He is a nephew
of ex-Chief of Police Skinner , of Council
Bluffs. He also was alone and well
equipped for the journey , and the train
ollicials' ej-es will also be upon him until
he reaches his destination.
The JunkctiiiK Japs.
After a day's enjoyment iu Omaha , al
though the early part of the day was not
what it might bo on account of the
rain , Prince Fushimi aud Ids suite de
parted for San Francisco last evening.
They occupied three sections of the
Pullman sleeper Messina and had all the
little etceteras with them that knowing
Americans have when they travel.
Young Goto seems to bo the reader of
the party. Strapped to a paper box of
bou bens ho had the two volumes of the
"Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant"
bound an calf and Mrs. Braddon's ' 'Evil
Genius" in paper cover. It is probable
that the prince and his party will run
down to Salt Lake City from Ogden , but
they all seem anxious to reach home and
will lose very little time in reaching the
steamship.
A Miniature Mcriacerle.
The Pacific express company forwarded
last night via the Missouri Pacific train
from this city a collection of prairie
curiosities from J. K. Rico , Gibbon , Neb. ,
to W. A. Conklin , in charge of the ani
mals in Central Park , New York city.
There were two peculiarly looking
cranes , one being over four feet in
height ; three crates of prairie dogs and
and immense rattlesnake in a glass
topped box. The latter made his pres
ence hnown by continued rattling1 , and
presumably the express messenger will
not sleep extra soundly to-night if ho
sleeps at all. Mr. Rice , it is said , makes
a business of collecting birds , snakes , iisli
nnd prairie animals for eastern sale , and
nt certain seasons of the year the express
men have to handle plenty of live freight.
A "Horsc-Slioc" Day for Them.
Ed and Arthur Rothery can put a big
red mark on August 3 for the year 1880 ,
as it was a day Of great luck for both. In
the first place Ed received a copy of the
Police , Gazette witli his picture promin
ently placed and looking as natural ns
life , with the legend underneath , "Tho
leading sporting man in Omaha. " Arthur
had his turn next for the evening express
brought him a Chinese terrier , one of
those hairless canines that are so high
priced and in such great uemand among
the ton. This ono came from a friend of
the received in Now York , and is cer
tainly the smallest matured dog in the
west. _
AVrathy AVostlakc.
Wcstiako , the ox-confectioner of St.
Mary's ivvonuo , whoso failure caused a
very slight ripple in retail business a
short time ago , was summarily called to
time last night by Bean , the Douglas
street ice cream man and general con
fectioner. The trouble was all about
$50 indebtedness , and Bean alleges that
Westlako was endeavoring to avoid pay
ment by flight. Tlio two were together
at the depot about 0 o'clock , and while
Bean turned around to speak to a friend
WcstlaKo boarded the dummy and was
soon in Iowa. A telegram was sent
across thn river to hold htm , and the next
train over the bridge curried the creditor ,
who was about as mud a man as Omaha
has scon In some years ,
Condnmuing Property.
The board of appraisers appointed to
condemn property for the new freight
depot of the Union Pacific have reported
condemnation on lots 3 and 3 in block
178 , .fronting north on Jackson street be
tween Seventh and Eighth. This is
known as the old Davis property , on
winch was the first mill ever Btartcu in
Nebraska. The present owner is John

Ilaln All Around Omaha.
Train officials and passengers on thu

ing report a very heavy rain which
reached from Denver to a point about fif
teen miles of Omaha. The fall was un
usually plentiful and it is said that Colorado
rado has had moro rain this season that

Viitais-tv , Nov. , July 33. [ Corres
pondence of Hie lir.K. ] Still craving for
now fields to conquer , now risks to run ,
and new sights to see your correspond
ent stopped at Reno , and came to this
plneo to take a look at and know Ity
personal observation the mines that have
supplied so much of the precious metal
for the medium of i-omniorco ; the mines
that have made paupers , princes , and
have In reality surpassed the extravagant
imaginings of Dumas' Monte ( .Yisto. We
are here in this strange side-hilled city ,
that views barren heights , dreary land
scapes and knows no wealth save those
idols of man , delved from mother earth's
deepest bowels. A town that in her
palmy days had but 20,000 people , with
untold millions of wealth , now a half-
dead village , With her mining Immlet.s
round nbout barely numberingS.OOO souls
Still hope , that ever impelling power to
man's nobility , claims a still greater fu
ture for this mining town.
We looked up Superintendent A. C.
Hamilton , of tlio Combination shaft , aud
were furnished with his most trusted
guide for n tour of the mines forming the
combination. This is the great shaft
sunken 3,200 feet to strike tlio famous
Comstock lodes. This shaft has four
compartments , No. 1 is Gx7 feet in the
clear , Xos 3 , 3 aud 4 each 5.\0 feet in the
clear , all joined together and making a
shaft 10x30 feet and 3 , > ' ' 50 feet deep , all
of which is walled wfth sawed timber ,
cai-li piece 1-1 inches square. From this
great shaft there arc drifts loading off at
the following depths : Sovcntc.cn hun
dred feel , 2.-100 feet , 2,000 feet , 2,800 f cot ,
! 5,000 foot , 3,100 feel and 3,200 feel. Those
loads reach out into the flinty rocks
of these massive mountains from 700 to
2oOO , feet , making under ground
cities in the way of streets and alleys.
The power tint is doing this wonderful
work I must mention somewhat in detail.
The main power is from huge hydraulic
engines or pumps placed along'the side
of tins shaft in largo rooms cut out of
solid rock HUxUO feet and 12 feet deep.
There are three of these huge hydraulic
pumps , each having four 10 to 13 feet
plunger stroke , and placed 2-tOO feet ,
2,000 tcet , and 3,000 feet under ground.
These minips are run by water from a
reservoir 425 ieet above thn surface by
direct pressure , giving a power of over
l.COO pounds to the square inch. This
water is brought from Carson river , some
twenty-six miles distant , and then
through Sntro tunnel some three miles.
These hydraulic pumps are all constant
ly working , and have a capacity of 4,000 ,
000 gallons per day , and are discharging
3,700,000 gallons each day. Besides these
hydraulic puuip , there is also a huge
Cornish pumping engine on the surface ,
with tits rod , shaft or piston 3,155 feet
long , so that its cylinder is so many feet
under ground. This rod is 15 inches
square in 00 feet lengths , madi out of
Oregon timber bolted together and faced
with steel sides , and carrying two pumps
of 15 inch diameter each , with some
seventeen foot stroke. The capacity of
this pumri is 1,000,000 gallons per day ,
while it is constantly handling 000,000
gallons .each day. Besides these there
are three dummy engines or pumps in
the shaft , so that the total number of
gallons handled each day amounts to
4,300,000. The hoUling is doim by lliese
immense powers with three other hoist
ing engines on the surface by means of
cable ribbons , woyen at these works from
the bcbt English steel wire , being 3,000
feet long , and each weighing ten tons ,
three tons are brought up at each load ,
the trip requiring about four minutes.
Thus the labor and materials are carried
up and down. These great works have
cost ? 3,000,000 and required twelve years
in their progress thus far , and all for
naught but to prospect In the very depths
of the earth and lind again a Bonanza
pocket in the Conibtock lode. Tnis nx-
penso is paid by assessment on the stock
holders of the following mines , viz. : Sav
age , Hall and Nnrcross , Collar and Po-
losio , which have combined to work all
their mines from this one shaft and
works. 200 hands are constantly em
ployed at an average of $4 each for eight
hours work. The works run constantly.
All needed precautions are taken , and
no expense saved to make everything
most complete and safe. If one set of
machinery breaks or gets out of repair
another ohinds by its side to take its
place. These deep mines are , well venti
lated , and each cooling room has ice and
cool \vator for their hands. On entering
the mine you are required to unstrip and
put on n woolen suit of pants- and shirt
with socks and shoes furnished tor the
trip ; also oil cloth hat mnda especially
for thu purpose and a huge oil cloth coat
and a lantern. Then you uro plaeoJ on
a narrow pin tform , with iron railing on
ono side , when you nro positioned nnd
directed to stand and remain just so.
Soon down you start. Two with the
guide nro a plenty for this narrow and
oion elevator. Tlio temperature gradu
ally changes , and when at 2,000 or 2,000
feet ( loop you have liad a fine introduc
tion to Unit elornal place so many of you
are trying to escape. You slop at the
different levels , examine the pumps
already described , lake off Ihe oil cloth
coat and hat , go into the cooler for water
and a breath of heaven's pure air. Here
the miners como from the side leads.
These miners are find looking men , wear
ing naught save pants and shoes , and
sweating from every pure. They drink
the ice cold water and turn Iho same all
over them , with pleasure and goo l re
sults rather than distress or injury.
Many of them told mo they had length
ened their day. in fact siived their lives
by working in these extreme heats.
Soon the guide called out , "arn you
you ready for moro ? " My reply is al
ways yes , and so again wo put on our
coat and hut , mount tlmt fllrango eleva
tor and go .still deeper. Wo nnxt go to
the U , 200 f out load , and oh , how hot ! Wo
actually smell the mfornnl fumes , felt
the hellish heat and heard the dimmed
siz/.lings , or thought wo did , of that place
to dread.
In some of the lower leads the hunt is
intense , notwithstanding the cold air nnd
water forced through them. The torn-
porutnru ia all the way from 8" > to 105
( legs. The water , as it courses its
way through the rock crevices , is
so hot ono cannot endure to put
the hand in it. Wo are now at thu lowest
lead , and see the dinmond drills and
blasters at work follow the railroad
track to somn far point whore thn prom
ise is good and great dincovoritw hourly
expected so it lias jrom for years , and
each poor fellow pays hi * asw.ssinunt and
dreams that he la soon to bo a million
aire. Many of thu miners hold * tock
nnd have great faith. We nnxt take a
good , long cool-off for our heavenly ridoj
dross up warm and button up everything.
Still we feared we wuro leaking lo denlji.
as every pore had. luvuad its fniinit and
lot our very Mood's water out. Soon wu
tignin mount that shaky carryalland with
a jerk of the wire the power U applied
from the top and up wo go. It jrrowa
distressing cooler too rapidly , uud wo
really suffer before wo reach heaven
DA warm bath is awaiting us. Wo doff >
that strange gurb , pluiigo in , nnd In a
few minutes are all rlulil , and feeling
that an epoch of life hnsoceurrcd in the
past two hours. All this is and has taken
place in nature's great treasury , in a
plaeoone and n half miles long. 100 feet
wide , and 1,000feut deep. Over ? 100,000 ,
000 have been taken out by America's
poor laborers ; made European digni
taries nnd Rothschild millionaire * , and
the discoverer died a pauper in Idaho in
18T-J. We miKt stop. Still many other
things of Interest ask for mention.

Financial Proposition of n Self-
AfOiiHiMl Murderer.
Early Saturday inoriiing Charles Good ,
who has resided in tins city oil' and on
for the lust thirteen years , wns standing
on the corner of Eleventh nnd Hnrnuy
streets. A rough looking man came
along und accosted him.
"Say , pard , you look rather dry. Como
let's take a drink. "
The invitation wns accepted and the
two men adjourned to a neighboring
saloon , As is usually the case on such
occasions , especially when there Is plenty
of money around , the inaugural bever-
nges wcro succeeded by many others ,
nnd the stranger , who evidently had im
bibed before meeting Good , became very
talkative , Taking the latter to ono side
he whispered in his ear :
"How would you like to make $1,000
clear ? "
Good , not being a real estate agent T"
with a skeleton wagon nnd a bos stall
for an olllce in some store corner , said
$1,000 would not bo amiss if it came
honestly , and he would like to
know how it could bo acquired. Then
the stranger commenced to tell of an at
rocious murder that was committed in
Red Oak , la. , a little over two years ago
n which the proprietor of a brick yard
was brained with an ax by a former em
ploye and the murdered man's daughter
shot and seriously wounded bv the same
dastardly villain. He went onto rulnto all
the details of the terrible crime ; the es
cape of.the murderer nnd the. reward of
$100 ollered by the county and ? , " 00 by the
cityboth of which up to this day failed to
bring the man to justice. The stranger
then said Unit ho knew the
man who committed the deed that ho
was now in Denver and if Good would
assist him they could rake in the $1000.
It so happened that Mr. Good resided
in Reil Oak , la. , at one time und > vas fa
miliar with nil the details of the crime
mentioned but he pretended that he know
nothing of it. More drinks were indulged
in and mellower became the stranger.
Again the subject of raising the if 1000 was
broached and the stranger repeated Ids
story with the exception that : tt this time
ho located the murderer a short distance
from Council 15lull's where he was chop-
pint : wood. "
"We'll have to go well armed , " said
the stranger , "for Hnyden's bad on the
shoot. He brings down his man every
time. "
Mr. Good now became interested for
the name of the man who committed the
murder in Red Oak was Hayden. In
order to draw out his curious new-mado
acquaintance he accused him of endea
voring to get up a sensation about some
thing of whiuli he knew nothing , Ho
openly told the stranger that ho knew
nothing about the Red Oak affair what
ever. This irritated the latter and with
an oath he replied : s <
"I don't , you say. lousht , for I'm the '
man. I'm ' Hayden , and there's $1,500 on
mv head. If you don't believe it , look
here. "
Then the stranger rolled up his sleeves
nnd showed two peculiar scars on his left
arm , and ho also showed another scar on
the right shoulder , all of which as well
as the name Hayden correspond ex
actly with the description published
of the murderer. Immediately afterwards
he disappeared. Mr. Good is satisfied
that the right party wis , and perhaps is
iu the cityDili ! informed the policeand a
block watchman subsequently wrested a
man answering Hayden's description ,
but Good not being present th Man was
allowed to go. The sheriff at Red OaK
has been communicated with and further
developments are anxiously awaited.
Two Iowa gentlemen informed a re
porter of the BIK : yesterday th t they
wore in Red Oak at the time of Iho mur
der , that they know Hayden well , und
that lately on two or throe occasions they
felt satisliod they saw him on the streets
of Omaha. Here is a chance for a very
nice still hunt for a bold , bad man , with
? ! , COO as an incentive.
