Gi.rx UOCK , Wi'o. , April 'JS. lS ] > ccnl ! to Ti'B Ur.c. ] This ptaco Is miles west , from Omahn. It Is a little in la- Ing town of nbout tliroo hundred Inhnbltnnts. Its mnln suppcrt nro the Dear Crock coal mines owned by n company of whleh Goorpo W. ti. Doreey U president ; U. H. IJornnrd tvcnsuror ana E. J. Barker secretary. The lessee U tlonry R. ITry , a very palnstnklnR nnd capable ecntlcmnn whoso company \vo cnjoyeil since our leaving Norfolk. Wo ran on the owltuh to the entrance to the mines at the early hour of 4:80 : o'clock in the morn- Inc. Our heavy sloopcrs found some dlfll- culty In turning out , especially as It was an nounced that the ntr was raw nnd n heavy whllo froat , covered thu ground. The sun , however , was pretty warm and nil the lag gards finally made their appuuranco. Each man took either n caudlo or n lamp. The in I no la located In n blurt 300 feet la height , and the coal lira In A VEIN AIIOUT NINE TUET THICK nnd almost on a level with the surfnco of the ground on the outsldo. The working dipi Rradunlly as It extends under the bluff , though the gradation Is so oany as to bo scarcely notlccnnlo. The opening Is six feet high and nbout as many wide. For about two hundred feet the tuuncl has n roof , sup ported on heavy timbers. Uoyond that dis tance there Is u ceiling of coal which re quires no artificial supports. At n distance of ' 100 feet from' the entrance the party cnloicd a "room" which hud been worked out and was moro than two hundred feet in length. Radiating from this wcro drifts leading in all directions. The openings of tho.so , in some instances , were closed with loose rock , showing that the rooms behind them hud also boon worked out. At inter vals thu ulr uasstiRCB were pointed out by IMr. Fry , and the system of ventilation was explained. It was a simple one , consist ing of a special entrance the ducts above referred to which are much smaller than the drifts and n shaft which extends to the sur face of the bluff. The party traversed the whole of the mine. The taller people were COMPELLED TO fcTOOP ( luring the journey , an attitude to which they lind not been hubliuntod nnd which resulted in Home aching baclis nnd nectts. Only In ono place was water encountered , and there for but a few feet on the iloor of the Jim In drift. The conl when picked Is placed in cars each with capacity for n ton. Three of thcso loaded cars constitute n train and are drawn from any part of the mine by a cable worked by an engine. They are rolled to the chute which extends over the track anil there the contents nro dumped to open cars on a scale beneath. The tuition ono of the best managed in the country , and already has turned outn great deal of coal. The company owns eighty acres of the bluffs , nnd Mr. Fry says that every inch of thosu is covered by a voln not l ° s than nine feet in thickness. They have prospected till over the property nnd are satis- lied of the fact. Mr. Fry says that In Unltah county ho knows of n prosnoct which has Eli own n thickness of coal of 211 ! feet. The Deer creek mines were opened about two years ago , and ha.vo afforded employ ment nl various times sincoHo 250 men. Tno minors are of all nationalities nnd as a rule occupy tasty and homo-like cottages. They nro paid at the rate of 73 cents per ton for mlntntr. The company finds no difllculty in marketing , the fuel being sold now by thrco parties in Omaha whcro It sells ntSO per ton. It sells at the mines for ? 2. It is claimed that , in seine respects , tlio coal Is better than that of Hock Springs , nnd it certainly pos sesses qualities which that coal docs not. It is more difllcult to ignite , bnt when ignited bums until it. Is nil consumed. IT 11AS VKIIV LITTLE fUS , nnd It is claimed for it that a 11 ro In a cook- stove may bo kept over night , after the coal is ignited , by leaving tho"llds slightly turned nnd the draught partially open , Next winter the company intends to work the mines to the extent of 1,000 tons per day. Twelve mines from Glen Rock , are too Inez mines , opened nbout n year ago. The capacity ot thuso is about two hundred tons per day , though only fifty tons are now being mined. The mines are about a mile from the trade proper , though a switch runs up to the shaft. There is u similarity between the coal of these nnd that of the Glen Rock mines , but the former on being exposed to the atmosphere slakes badly. It'ls claimed , however , that the moro the mines nro worked the bettor the coal becomes. Returning from our trip to tha region of dusty diamonds , wo reached Douglas , \Vyo. , breakfasting at the Valley house , and many of us waiting throe-quarters of an hour for the buxom beauties in attendance to favor us with thitir attention , DOUQLAS WAS HOHN three years ago. It has a bright nnd pretty nppcnrnnco. The frnmo structures nro shupnly , and those of brick nro solid , sub stantial and beautiful. On ono of the bluffs stands n handsome bnck school house , which at u distance displays many of the features of some of the * moro ornate residences in Omaha. The streets are 100 feet wide , and of a naturally hard surfnco , upon which the rain has only u temporary effect. Tlio town depends upon some flno ranches in the neighborhood , tlio patronage and business of the mines , the granite quarries twenty miles nwuy , nnd the railroads for support. Its in ception was attended with a boom which , liowover , has departed , and now the place is comparatively dull. There is Htill sufllcicnt business to maintain the 700 inhabitants. In the early days there wcro forty- eight saloons , a corresponding number of par- venues who thrive with such surroundings. Kow there nro but seven saloons nud a ilnuco house , the signs over the door and on the windows of which latter read as follows "Angel's Homo , Everybody Rug No linblcs. " Door and whiaky sell for 15 cents a glass. Tno saloons pay MOO license. A shave costs you a quarter of n dollar , but a inenl ut the hotel costs' only M ) cents. The twin bi other of Henry Uolln , county treas urer of Douglas Is here the senior momborof the procury i'rm of Bolln & Rastatter. Pres ident Martin of the board of trade secured a beautiful specimen of polished granite , which In Its crude nhnpo was taken from the quarry nbovo referred to. In hardness and texture , tha matcflal resembles that of the massive columns in the llrst story of the Paxton building In Omaha , The town Is in slgnt of the traditional Larumlo Peak , the summit of which appears covered with peruotuul snow.

Ton miles fiom Luslc on our way back to Chudron wo found n train side-tracked on its way west to the termination of the route. Who correspondents of the other morning papers made a rush for it to get copies of thulr papora contalnlni ? the accounts of the trip they hnd sent to their respective ofllces.

" Only three conies could bo procured anil llftonii fneit undertook to rend each copy nt tha same timo. The papers were llnally divided into I > ag0 and the pagoa were distributed among the members of the board. Tlio most grati fying news found in them was the defeat of prohibition In Massachusetts , the announce ment of which was received with cheers. K. A. O'BitiBK. JEII Perkins With Omnhn'e Travelers.

I Imvo learmnl a great deal pf wfcilom nnd truth from the boards of trade Of Omaha , Norfolk nnd Doadwood. At Norfolk I listened with dooji Intercut to a final of information given out by Major Gervcko , of Omaha , nod A , U. Holme * , president of the Business Men's association of Norfolk. When the major had compli mented Mr. Holmes on the growth ot Nor folk ho asked him what wan the population of the town , "What Is the population of Omaha , first ! " said Mr. Holmes , "Our population. " untd Major Oorccko , "Is about cloven hundred thousand. " "Omahn Is some larger than Norfolk , " Bald Mr. Holmes. "Our population Is a fraction under ninety thousand , isn't It , Mr. Olnoyl" Mr. Olnoy , nn old resident , of Norfolk , nodded his head. "Do you have a flno climate hero ! " nikcd Major Gcrccko. "it In n Uttlo too cold for bananas , " snld Mr. Holmes , "but wo never fail on our oranges. " "I didn't know that Omahn was supplied with oranges from Norfolk before , " said the major with surprise , "but I presume you get yourornngo we.ithcr from Omahn. Omaha , " continued the major proudly , "has moro weather than three such states as Pennsyl vania. " "Is It warm or cold in Oraahai" asked Mr. Holmes. "Both , sir. Wo have a very changeable cllumto. Ono dny It Is Florida and the next Winnipeg. Very sudden changes wo havo. too. For instance , the 31st dav of July , If I remember rightly , I felt n llttlo provoked at Mr , U. F. Goodman because ho said ho did not believe In high tariff or Infant baptism. I'm sorry I got mad now , for , without think- In ? , 1 picked m > a snow ball nnd tlung It nt him. Would you believe Itl Just as I Hung that snow bail , the temperature changed , the merpury Jumped up , and poor Mr. Good man was awfully i saldod with hot water wasn't ho , doctor ! " Dr. Schwenk said ho was. "Speaking of Norfolk , " continued Presi dent Holmes , "our harbor Is very linn. " "I should say so , " salt ! the Rov. Rome Miller , "and- " "Is the Klkhorn navigable ! " asked Mr. W. N. Babcock , In astonishment. "Thero Is an Immense licet nt the wharves now , " said Mr. W. H. Johnson , of the Nor folk comuitttoo ; "steamers from Kearney , Sioux City nnd Council Bluffs. " "We had an awful accident In the harbor once , " said Mr. John Olney ; "tho worst I've ever seen on the Klkhorn , and 1'vo lived hero over two hundred years hundreds were drowned. " "Ho w did It happen 1" asked Lewis May , president of the Nebraska llsh commission , his eyes moistening. "It was this way , " said Mr. Olnoy. "Sometime in Juno , 1042. if my memory does not fail mo , the steamship Greek Republic was In tlio harbor loaded with corn for Hastings and Kearney on the Platte river , a branch of the Klkhorn. Hundreds of our best citizens were on board drinking water and baking pies nnd cakes. Thcro was Mc- Clary and Reno and Bigolow and Hughes , of the News. Well , suddenly n great storm broke over the vessel. Billows mountain high dashed over us , the ruddorwas torn off , the masts foil , the waters reared in torrents through the scuppers , and then , all of a sudden the ship trembled , settled , lunged forward and sank out of sight in twenty -ono fathoms of water every soul going down on her. " "How did you escape ! " asked a dozen Omahaitos. "Didn't escape , I went down with the rest , " said Mr. Olney as the tears streamed down las checks. # H * Thcso scones and stories have unfitted me for the Black Hills trip.

[ Special Telegram to TUB BEK. ] The Omaha board of trade was welcomed in a most hearty manner , this morning , by Mayor Davenport , of Sturgis , and citizens of Sturgis. Car riages were provided and the party was driven through the city and to a number of places of interest In the immediate vicinity. The drive terminated nt this place , where elaborate preparations had been made by Colonel Mizner , the commandant of the Fort , entertainment of the party. The any was most beautiful and the ton companies sta tioned at the post , turned out , COO strong , making an imposing appearance. In the line were six troops of cavalry and four of In fantry. The general parade was followed by nn infantry batallion drill and cavalry maneuvers , which were now to many of the visitors nnd greatly appreciated.

A bill of sale for $ ! 0,2S3 was filed with county Clerk Rocho yesterday lor tjio Omaha National b.iiiK against ICauffman , Davis & Reese , the cigar merchants ; also a mortgage for 85,500. In it this firm ti'ans- fcrs to the bank all of Its stock and store llxturesatNo.207J5outhEifteonth street. An employe of the bank was placed in charge and , with Dave Kauffman , continued to con duct the business us though nothing had happened. Messrs. Davis nnd Rcos and Levl Kauff man wore called upon nnd asked for their version of the affair. They had all boon ud during the night , and , feeling indisposed referred the reporter to their attorney , R. S. Ervin. Mr. Ervin was 'found at his room in the Ramgo bulldlnc. "In February , 1838 , " said he , "E. P. Davis , Samuel Rccs ana Levi Kauffman found themselves sureties for Kuuffman Bros , in , thu sum of 23,000 , and also found the 11 nil ilnancially cjnbarrassod and unn- bio to mcot Its obligations. ICtiutT- man Bros , made u transfer of all tholr per sonal property ana real estate to thcso sure ties to secure them. Kauffman , Rccs & Davis took charge of the business and con ducted it up to the present timo. They ex- tiected to bo abto to pay all Indebtedness , but found the interest on the debts to be so great and creditors so pressing that they couldn't stand the pressure. The cigar store on Fif teenth street proved to bo a paying invest ment. If fruo from incumorancos , but it could not stand the strain laid upon it. After running the business for a year , Messrs. Kauffman , Davis & Itcoa found themselves Indebted to the Omaha National $10,000. They mill paid $15,000 , of the ola debts , and would have been nblo to pay nil if moro time had been given them , To pro tect themselves and the Omaha National banks , which had befriended them , they made a transfer of thu personal property and real estate turned over to thorn by Kauffman Bros , to that bank and 19 the state National bank by flrst nnd second mortgages roapoctlvnlj' , The property will pay the claim of thoie two institutions. All jiorsnnnl ilabts that Is , all debts made by Kauffman , Davis & Roes since the Una transfer from Kiuiffmnn Broswill bo paid on presentation to Mr. Roes. The affair does not nffcct the Recs Printing company or the Davis & Oowgill Iron works. " Sin.'h was thn statement of Mr , Ervin , at torney for Messrs , Kauffman , Davis & Rces. The i-opnrtor also called upon Cashier Wallace , of the Omaha National , but ho refused - fused to soy anything concerning the affair. Mr. Davis ascribes his troubles to David Kaufman's unfortunate speculations in roaltv , Other binles and business houses are also affected , Olllcors. . Mr , W , H , Hall , assistant manager of the waterworks company , says that the an nouncement that Captain Rugor has boon appointed , manager of the local company hcru is premature. Ho has been offered thu position , but has not yet accepted it. Cap tain Rugor has for the past six months boon chief engineer ut the Florence plant. It is rumored that some changes urn llkoly to bo made in the otllces of the company , hut Mr. Hull doules tula report. THE Moron wihti cnoss. To Do So Will Cost Several Thousands In llnrd Cnfth , Complying with the ordinance recently passed by the cits' ' council nnd duly approved by his honor , the mayor , Dr. "Mercer nnd J , J. Young Thursday drove down to the head quarters of the Union Pacific behind Ur , Mercer's bay ponies , to obtain the ncqttlds- conco of the company In the permission granted the motor line to cross the Eleventh nnd Sixteenth street viaducts. They con sidered it only n matter of form , nnd antici pated no trouble In obtaining tfioir object. Consider tholr surprise then , When they were informed by Vlco-Prosldont Holcomb that the company held that the motor line was Unblo to its proportionate share of the original cost ot thaso viaducts , which would bo $23,000. This was something of n surprise party to the ofllcors of the motor company , and for n few hours there was considerable rustling amonest them. Lnto in the afternoon three telegrams wcro received by Mr. Holcombo all from Boston. Ono was from Fred li. Amos , the second from Charles Francis Adams , and the third from Sidney Dillon , nil directors of the Union Pacific. There were in answer to dispatches sent him by J. II. Mlllard , of this city , stockholder - holder In the motor line nnd director of the Ut'lon P.iclflo , nnd instructed Mr. Holcombo to ncqulcsco in the provisions ot the city ordinance , which grants to the motor com pany-permission to cross the viaducts at an nnmml rental of $5. Mr , Holcombo signed n written permit. The motor company will at once extend Its lines across the viaduct. From this polut it will build to Vlnton street , whore it will rest nt present. But the project and ontqr- prlso of the motor company does not stop hero. Thursday afternoon at the confer ence the matter of crossing tljo Union Paclllo br'ago ' to Counull Bluffs was talked over. Nothing definite was arrived nt. The propo sition In the latter respect , ns considered yesterday , was forthe running of motor cars over the the bridge , converting the present ronu bea nnd grade into a graded line for the motor company until a point was reached near the transfer depot. At this point tno circuit turns and the motor lines connect with the dummy tracks , and from the con necting point the Union Paclllo tracks on Union nvonuo are to bo converted Into motor tracks , thereby making the line to the Broau- way aopot complete. An official of the Union Pacific stated to-day that such had been talked ever and that in all probability it would oo carried In to effect. Chnrcctl With "Johnny" Morrison was arrested last night , charged with bogging on the street. It goes without saying that If Morrison was begging it was bocnuso ho failed to llnd any valuables loose In his rounds. His vacations from the county Jail , where ho Is on the sneak thief list , rarely extend over a weak at a time. _ MORTUARY.

BF.I : . ] The gloom that the death of General HAich cast over the garri son is gradually clearing up , and rumors are becoming rlfo as to the probable changes that will take place In the uoar future. You hear on ono sldo Clint the now colonel , Til * ford , will rotlro before taking clmrtfo of the regiment , and that doncrnl Brlsbin , who Is next on tlio list , wilt .rccclvo the command. Wo would nil Hue to. see General Brisbln at the head of the regiment. Thcro are quito n number of ether rumors afloat , but they are lee absurd to receive nny attention , for your ordinary soldier Is an Imaginative - aginative creature , and , between his guards or fatlguo , keeps his brains busy moving his regiment to the best posts In tno division nnd changing the whole regimental adminis tration. As it now stands , Colonel Tilford ( It Is rumored ) is n regular bugbear , a hard worker , a martinet , hard on prisoners , very sanctimonious , nnd stirs up all the depart ments vigorously : in fact , it is supposed bo never sleeps , but keeps continually planning work for the imaginative sous of Mars. The work of completing the how post Is progressing vigorously under the direction of the temporary commander , General Bris- bin. A new system ot sowaeo and water pipes nro being laid , and a water tower is belnir erected. Lieutenant Mercer nnd family loft here , Wednesday evening , for tholr now post , Nio- brarn. It is rumored that Monocr endeavored to tnnko a transfer with Lieutenant Tcrrctt , which would scud Torrutt to Nlobrara In stead of himself , but for some reason it fell through. It Is presumed the authorities did not think It "conducive to the good of the service. " Dross parades nro now the order of the day , nnd after the warrior bold abandons his pickaxe nnd shovel nt 4:30 o'clock p. m.

It Is pretty nearly time for the contractors who have the build ing of posts to do their own work with their own men and their own tools , and leave the soldier to do his legitimate duty.
