PAOTCfl. THEIR VENGEANCE GLUTTED , Omaha's ' Ball Players Dot Even with the Outfit from Wisconsin SHANNON'S ' LAMBS ARE ONLY WOLVES , They Surprised nnd Conquered the Jlrcwnrs Oilier Western "Winners American AHSoulallon Games Homo HporlhiK Gossip. Omaha , ft ; Milwaukee , 2. Minneapolis , 0 ; Lincoln , 0. Kansas City , 14 ; St. Paul , 5. Sioux City , C ; Denver , C. A largo and cnthuslasil c crowd took a half holiday yesterday to go out to McCormlck park and sco the Lambs nnd Brewers try conclusions again , And the people wore not sorry they made the Journey , for they saw the homo team win ono of the most brilliant nnd exciting con tests over waged In these parts. It was n 'lavcii ' liinlnper. Tno day was again Just right for ball playing - ing bright nnd breezy and the audience at tracted to the purl : won n representative ono. And the ladles were there In goodly num bers nnd transformed the usually forbidding grand stnnd into a bower of radiance nnd beauty. Of the 2,000 people on hand every ono had gone more to cheer Omaha on to victory , and they did it. Milwaukee was royally wollopped. In the words of Count Tolstoi the game was n lily. The Ilrcwors went into the light with the best intentions in the world , but they dis covered tliat Shannon's "Lambs were only wolves In shocps1 clothing. They not oniv used the stick with effect , hut played a field ing game that fairly sclntilllatod. Kitcljorg's pitching was superb. Davis' was very good , too , on nn average , but Omaha irot his range Just nt the proper times. Twltchell , Halligan , Sutcliffo , Shan non , Walsh and Eltoljorp fairly plastered themselves with dust and glory. Sutcliffo drove in the llrst run , Halligan the second and Walsh the third all of them earned good and solid. Lot mo toll you that tbls is hall playing. Hut the bright particular star of the day was Jimmy Donnelly. That boy has Just clambered up hand over hand into popular favor , and tlio bleachers would dlo for him. His phenomenal stops nnd pickups and light ning throws were of the indescribable order. Maybe Ids last achievement , tuning n red-hot Hut In the exuberance of praise the Brew ers must not bo overlooked. They wore in the thickest of the fight from the opening pun to the last dying wail. Petit , Schoch , Dalrymplo , Schrlver , and In fact the whole gang , played as if their lives were nt stake. Ana poor Gush "He's in the asylum now. " There was another individual present at the carnage also , and his name was Knight Alonzo Knight , the groat. His umpiring was of the order that deserves commemoration , bolncr as clean and perfect as such a diftlcult plcco of work could be , and as impartial as the sun Is to the earth. Ho is as impregnable to the roarings of Captain Schoch and his oleaginous lieuten ants as ho Is to their blandishments or coaxings. In n few words , ho is an umpire. But the picnic. Twltchell led off with a strike out and a murmur of incipient discontent oozed through the stands. They were metamorphosed the next Instant , however , Into n bubble of delight - light by a safe drlvo by Colonel Hntllgan from Buffalo. Then "Old Cy" Sutcliffo was Introduced. Ho took his position nt the pinto and swung back his telegraph polo llko it wood-chopper at a rail-splitting match. Mr. Davlos , after taking n good look at him , aimed the sphere at his lower vest button , hut Instead of hitting the mark it How against Silt's ' club. The concussion sounded llko a peanut sack when yon blow It up and set down on It , and while Mr Davlos was still wondering what had happened the hall had landed among the loft Held carriages , Halli- gan was homo nnd "Old Cy" was blowing his hollows on bag number two. You ought to have heard the mad shouts that greeted this exploit. But the fun was short lived. Petit threw McCauley out at llrst and Griflln filed to Dungan , It was a profitless inning for the Brewers , Burke , Petit and Schoch going out in rapid secession , Donnelly making n miraculous ono hand stop of Burko's vicious grounder , nnd throwing him oat nt Hivst , Walsh attending to Bobby In nllko manner , and .Hintny get ting In his elegant work a second time on little Georgia Schoch. In the second Manager Dan wont out from pitcher to llrst , but Walsh lined her out fora counlo of acks and another eruption was im minent iu the stands. But it didn't erupt worth a continental , for Donnelly hit one to Duugan and the big California ! ! , by a deft throw , doubled Walsh up with him nt third. For the visitors Dalrymplo filed out to Halligan , Campion made a slnglo and after Schrivor's out to Twitchcll , Kltoljorg hit Grim a smash with the ball. But neither man got homo , for Halligan made ono of the finest catches you oversaw off of DunganM long ily. And'how happy the people wero. Eitoljorg began the third by taking his base on a Juggle by Mr. Schoch. A sacrifice by Twitchcll moved him up ninety feet , but in attempting to score on another ono by Halli gan ho was caught at the plate. For the Brewers D.ivlcs struck out , nnd Burke , after being presented with Jlrst on balls , was caught trying to steal second , and Potlt Illed out to McCnuley. And the people were happier still. But n change came over their fair dreams In the fourth , for after retiring the Lambs for a blank , Milwaukee came in and by n llttlo lax playing on Omaha's part scored two runs. Actually , tlioy looked as big as houses to the spectators , for they thought that the neony was over. This Is the way they got these tallies. After Schoch had boon retired on a pop-u p to Shannon , Dalrymplo took his base on balls and Walsh's fumble sent Campion tlioro also. also.Tho The crowd looked glum , and glummer still when Ettoljorg hit Scdriver nnd filled the bases. At this critical moment "Old Cy" can ght Schrlver napping at llrst , nnd cut him off : then as the three runner. ) were all between the lines ttioro was ono of the funniest fox-aml-Rooso chases you over hoard of , but no good came of it nil. By somn hooker or crook , after cavorting up and down be tween the bases for several moments , with the Lambs all about thorn , every Ucor Jerker got bac'.i to his base without bolng touched , nnd the crowd as one man groaned : "OhI oh ! oh ! " Grim Death right hero made a single , a fit ting cllnwx to the play Just made , and both Dulryinplu and Campion ran homo. Schrivor , too. had the gall to trv and got in , but Don nelly got the ball and came within an IICH of dislocating the big catcher's nook by the em phasis with which ho put it on him tjchrlvo was awful mad , but there was no help for It. Then there was n string of .shlrrod eggs up to the seventh , when Omaha , amidst an up roar of wild applause , lied the scoro. What made It so nil-tired nlco was that U was done after two hands were out. Hero Is the story : Donnelly and Kitcljorg were quietly ro- tlrod , then Twitchell made a single and Hal- Ilgan drove him homo on a throo-baggor. It was ucloso call at thoplato , Lurry skating in on his milled shirt half way from third ig.o the Plato ; but Mr. Kntgiit was right there and ho cried "safe. " The crowd yelled and stomped and tcroamcd , while Captain Schoch and his merry imn fairly tore their hair. Then the battle wnxud llorcor still , and not until the last man was out in ttio eleventh tuning would it have been safe to hot either way" . It was one , two , tbrofl < n the tenth for both : \ teams , but in the eleventh there was au ix plosion. xat Captain Shannon was the first mau at bat for the \V hlto Sox. and with llttlo ceremony he belted out a three-bagger and tin ) crowd ; yellml and laughed and clapped their hands ns If In wild delirium , for they know that another run meant victory sweet , a wool vic tory. tory.You V : or we are playing Milwaukee. W H. Walsh wai the next man up , nnd "Now , .Too. hit her ont' ' " was the cry that greeted him from an Hundred throats. And what did .losoy do ) Why , ho hit her out , so out that It made the Brewers turn palot It was another thrco-snckor , but If you think I'm going to try * to depict the scene that ensued in the grand stand , you'ro fooled , that's all. Hut I wilt say that the crowd went all but daft. It was so boautlful to do tlioso nasty Mil- waukcans , who had no llttlo regard for our feelings lost summer. That hit was worth n trip toKuropc , and it came Justin the Nlcodcmusof time , for thu next thrco men furnished easy outs. The Brewers came in to do or dlo. They died , but game. Dalrymplo led off with n safe ono , and it began to smell llko brlmcstono right away , but everything was inndo ns sweet as the breath of Araoy in the same Instant , for Hal ligan after recovering the ball , throw Aimer out to Walsh , the old man having essayed to stretch his llttlo slnglo Into ndoublo. Friday , .lack throw Dal out on third tire snmo way , nnd hereafter you can bet that lio'll have n very healthy rcs | > oet for the young man from lirie'.s fair shores. Campion followed with nn out to McCauley but Schnver for the second tlmo hit the ball , but ho had his pains , or pain rather for nothing , for Jimmy Donnelly took Grimes' rifleshot , and thu Brewers were in the sewor.

KANSAS CITY , Mo. , April 18. [ Special Tel egram to Tun BnK.I The Blues looked very much moro like champions today than they did yesterday. They defeated St. Paul cos ily , winning by the wide margin of 14 to 5. The Atiostles after the fourth inning were out of the game. There was n crowd of about twenty-live hundred present and the game scorned to satisfy them perfectly. It was not a well played gnmoon St. Paul's part. Their pitchers were decidedly on * . Osborno , a left-handed pitcher , now to the Western association , was put In at first. Ho , did pretty well until the iiftli inning , whetr ho began to got wild , giving two men bases on balls. This , coupled with two two-bag gers , n slnglo nnd n sacrifice hit netted live runs. Ho was then replaced by Dalton , who gave eight men bases on balls. The scoro.

Some of these which must bo dismissed with n mere men tion or ignored altogether may yet turn out to bo moro valuable than others which nro now much discussed hero mid have obtained n certain reputa tion or notoriety outsluo the camp. Only such persons as have visited Gold Hill during ttio winter and it must bo berne In mind that that season or the effects of it still lingers on , here can appreciate the disad vantages in trying to measure the importance of the mineral discoveries that have boon made. To say that everything is snowed under gives but a faint idea of the extent to which the elements tiavo contributed towards the mystification of those who have tried to study the camp , and how effectually the snow Iting has guarded the treasures which ore confidently believed to bo locked in those hills , lint there Is n duty which the representative of a nowspaiier Is obli gated to perform for the public in thu way of a plain statement of all that can be seen here. At the risk of depreciating the importance of rich pros pects by withholding publlcltv as to their worth as estimated by others , all that can bo expected of n visitor hero now is to talk about what has como under his personal ob servation.

Thu claim extends 500 feet cast , and 1,1)03 ) foot west from whcro prospecting began. About ono hundred feet bovomi the mouth of the tunnel a shaft has boon put down ton foot. The work turned out so well that the tunnel was started and wiioii they are Joined there will bo a good opportunity afforded for rapid development w irlc. North of the Laramie tunnel , 200 foot , Is the Little Honatiza , and parallel to it. That lias a llfty-foot shaft with a twelve or thlr- tjocn-foot lead. Good prospacU have been ftnd all the , vay down and now the rock looks better than it lias at any previous time. The Gold Hill , south of the tunnel , 1ms only boon prospected to a depth of ten or twelve feet. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF GOLD HILL mcni or incts. t > omo 01 tuo early prospoo- tors hero had not had the bonollt of much ox- porieuco in locating loads. In some in stances they had never seen practical service in the development of mineral llnds. That these men recognized the value of the sur face : indications is but another proof of the richness of their .finds. Every ono in the party appears to have boon impressed by the belief that if they found any leads worth locatintr they must bo gold-boaring. Gold nnd gold alone was what they expected to find. So when a plcco of float was picked up that returned 2OOU ounces to the ton In silver they took it for granted that it came from somewhere else. They hunted for lodges that would prospect for gold and when such were lound they were satisfied. That is only ono incident of many that forms part of the history of the campaign which resulted in the establishment of this distr'ct. Ono of the most notable of the early loca tions , Judged by the showing so far uiado , was that of the Leviathan. It was struck well up toward the crest of n high hill in the last days of July of last year. The location was made by L. D. Chase , W. I. Frank nna P. P. Woods. They staked off 1.150 feet in a northeasterly direction from rich outcroppings - pings and fifty feet to the southwest. The reason they did not talco the full 1.500 foot to which they wore entitled was because they subsequently followed up the lead and traced it along so that they were able to locate an other claim adjoining ttio Leviathan on the northeast cud. This is a full claim COO by l.BOO feet. The name , Little Giant , was given to It and the locators were Woods , IJrako and P. C. Arcndoll. Afterwards the Leviathan No. - was located to the south west of the original Lovlathan and beginning at a point fifty feet from the first strike extends 1,500 feet to the southwest. Likely to Find Silver There. These claims are important for tlio reason that there uro evidences that rich silver deposits are likely to bo found underlying the hill. Al ready they prospect high up In sil ver , although little woric has boon clone on any of the claims , except in the case of the Leviathan No. 1. On that a shaft has been sunk j to a depth of 100 feet. On the surface this showed a well defined ledge fully six teen foot wide. The owners went down on the load , leaving a streak of quartz four or llvo feet wide to ono side. They timbered down to u depth ot twenty feet , packing in pay dirt hack of the shaft , which is 4 by 7 foot. Going down on the ledge matter till they had sunk seventy feet , they struck an other streak of quartz. Leaving that to ono side , they continued down on au Incline with a slope of two' foot , in ten. When they reached a depth "of 100 foot they began pros pecting for tbo load ! They are now engaged incross-cuttlngfitullnd out the width of the ere body botwood iboth walls. Several good veins hnvo boon found. Ono that varied from ono to two : and nearly three foot was followed for upwards of sixty foot as the shall was sunlc ; 'Other well defined veins from two Inches to a footer moro were struck. Save for a shorttdistanco all the roclc taken out of the Leviathan shaft shows rich In gold. Where the woijlfuwas stooped there were good indciatlons of , ijilver. It looks as though carbonates mighTIn ) found on the lower lev els , There majUbd a cessation of work on this claim for a while for it is reported that Chose , ono of thetQriglnal locators , has parted with his intercit tp L. G , Davis , who has been n largo Investor here. Cliaso is known to have boon itf'titgotlation with pcoplo who have becii Impros'itd by the good showing made by the Lc'iiihthiin the deeper the shaft was sunk. This these folks saw fqr them selves. The Otras mining company also has n conditional interest in the claim. By the terms of the bargain made with this company it will bo required to prosecute tbo develop ment work energetically and provide a mill for the treatment of the oro. Practical Test * to Ho Made. Interest , therefore , Is naturally centered In the Leviathan , because whatever the de velopment company propose to do will bo do- pondcnt largely on the report hereafter to bo made by practical men , who will make It tbolr Dusluess to canvass the chances of good returns to bo made oa the investment neces sary. All that the bravo fellows want who have pinned their faith on the future import ance of this camp is to have the loads worked honestly. If there is any borrowing done to expose ere bodies to bull tbo piico of claims , It will bo by speculators who have been able to get a foothold hero when necessity forced At the surface it looked so well that Its de velopment would have been pushed could provisions for that work have been mado. But the locators had to quit work on asovon- foot load without getting one wall. There is a cross load known ns the Jack Pine located 500 feet west of the Laramie tunnel. Suf ficient work 1ms not been done on the Jack Pine to properly estimate the value of the claim , although copper carbonates nro said to have been found in the pros pect shaft. Parallel to the Llttlo Bonanza is the Snow Flake , which in a twctity.foot shaftshowcd , up promisingly and from which rich rock was taken out. All of these claims were located by Alex Lute , Domtim Poutro and E. J. Lewis. They sold the Snow Flake to L. G. Davis , Carbon county's representative in the state legisla ture. Larnmlo people hnvo purchased an in terest in the Llttlo Bonanza and are waiting to mniso n mill-run on the ere before deciding to what extent its development will bo car ried : , In the Jack Pine , V. C. Ferguson , who runs the stage line from Saratoga to Gold Hill , has acquired nn Interest. He Is so snn- gulno as to its ultimate high commercial value that ho has refused n sum which might bo regarded ns excessive for a mere pros pect. But ho did not act on his own judg ment ns to the desirability of holding onto it , being guided by the advice of an experienced milling man. In the neighborhood of Greene's camp , which is the present terminus of the stage line , are several promising claims. Tho. Acme Is down fifty feet or moro and is showing In dications of carbonate. Its appearance has been encouraging all the way down , nnd the load shows a number of veins varying in thickness. The rock makes gratifying re turns. Work was recently started on the En- tcrprlso , which having boon squared up and timbered , Is now lu good shape for energetic development , lUnoh Work Already Dono. There are only n few of the many claims taken up. Up to the present tlmo eighty-two have been recorded. As the Wyoming law requires that n ten-foot hole must bo put down before this formality can legally bo carrlo ; ! out , it is rcaionnblo to Infer 'that nt loait this nmouiit of work has In each case been done In compliance with the law. Therefore , It will bo soon that enough has already been done to demonstrate whether or not there is mineral hero. So far ns I have boon nblo to learn there is not A slnglo Instance whcro the nppoaranco of a le.ul has not Improved the farther down on it the owners have gone. That Is noticea bly the case with the Omaha , which has just been surveyed after a shaft was sunk. That is the property of W. B. Hugus & Co. , in which Messrs. Heals , Mulllson anil others nro Interested. Ono of the moro recent strikes was that in the ! Volghtlund owned by U. P. Arcndoll and Messrs. Mngoo mid Murkul , That prospects well and some rich specimens nro reported to have boon taken out , but 1 have not soon them. This is encouraging , for it is tlmucht that the Volghtlaud Is an ex tension of tho.Lovlathau. Some mention ought to bo nindo of the Buckeye , on Gold Uun , located about n milo from the postofllco and Just below the Patent lilght , the Jlr.st , claim located lu the now dis trict last .summer. To B. P. Arondoll belongs the credit of the original find which started all the excitement that has boon created. Both of these claims nnd several In that Im mediate vicinity prospect well , Tlu- Wyoming is the claim which has fur nished most of the rich specimens that have helped to advertise the district among those who have not had n chance to como hero to sco for themselves what has been found. That is as yet merely n prospect. It has boon snowed under lor some time nnd n per sonal Inspection of the 14-font shaft ran not bo made now. The Wyoming rock that has been exhibited is marvelously rich. These who hud an oppor tunity for investigating it are all unanimous in the belief that the big vein from which such richness was taken out is not likely to pinch out , but that a strong llssuro vein has been uncovered. The ownership to this claim has bct'n so largely Increased as to the number of ititorost.s that it is dlfllcult to hoop track of all the holdings in It. If the Wyo ming continues as goo , ! n claim as It has hitherto prospected , enough mineral can be taken out to enrich the owners. Guarding Against DUHoiiNious , There has boon much sagacious forethought displayed on nil sldo for making this a proi- l.orous and orderly camp , should the de- - t.nsit-4 ttivtl nut. na ntitti.Mtntnil A1..1 has already boon made in a previ ous nrtlclo to the voluntary agreement amonc the miners to restrict their claims to smaller dimensions than they wore entitled under the United States milling laws. They agreed to take 150 feet on each side of the load , instead of , ' ! UO foot. That was to avoid contentious that wore liable on account of the crowding of the loads tosrethor. Some question arose as to the right of ono or moro of the owners of tlio Wyoming to bind their associates to this agreement to which then- assent had not boon asked. An other lead was found a few days iigo' J5 foot from the Wyoming shaft. To avoid trouble or complications of any sort , It Is understood that some of the owners of the claim have nl- roudy consented to deed tbo property oiitido of the 150-foot limit to the finders of tbo now lead , In law probably the Wyoming owners could claim all of the ! t)0 ( ) feet guaranteed them under the United States laws. But it is Indicative of the spirit of the camp that such proffers of concessions such as that named should bo mado. I'lnoky SiirvcyorH Work. Another fortunate thing has been done which will have a tendency to prevent , or nt any rate lessen , the possibilities : of litigation. That was the erection of n monument to which claims can bo tied and their dellnlto- location determined. Only n plucky surveyor nnd ono experienced in mountain work would have dared undertake the task which Charley Bellamy of Laramlo e-of for himself. Ho is an old-tinier and favorite among Wyoming minors. The difllciiltics encountered in hunt ing lor section corners In n wilderness of snow ton to llftccn feet deep on a level , with big drifts scattered abou1. indiscriminately can only Iw appreciated by a far-western sur veyor. Hut Hcllamy started out to do that and ho didn't give up till ho had succeeded. This having been accomplished a t'nltod States land mark rfas erected. It Is In the southeast quarter of what will bo section 0 , or to bo exact , fl/cil feet south of the center of the north boundary of the township , wlltcfr- l.s six nnd n quarter miles long , The menu ment is mnrkcd on the accompanying map , pmimrcd oxprtssly for Tnr. HKB bv Mr. nellamy. Township 10. In which Oolil Hilt is situated , lias been survcved , but not soo-/ lionized. Without doubt that work will \M \ done as soon ns the snow goes off , Hut It will not make much difference , for the pies- cut nt least , If the divisions have not boon de fined. The law provides that iwhoro claims nro located moro than two miles from n section comer thor may bo tied to some monument whoso location has been accurately delimit. As most of the claims In the district sirfnr- taken ii ] ) nro moro than two miles from tlio section corners the monument is all that U needed to describe thorn. Surveyor Hotlamy has boon engaged for several weeks -surveying claims , and this work will keep him busy for ten days or moro to como. Since n rush of prospectors Is expected these safeguards are rendered al most un absolute necessity to claim owners , who appreciate the necessity for having their property accurately laid olT. Hut their action is in the line of evidence that tends to prove that Gold Hill Is bound to become a good camp. Giomm : T. CAMS. : ALTOX IIOV1OTT.
