PIPE LINE UNION WITH A WATER ROUTE Gold Hold ! In Colorado nnil Utnli-A Ulg HlrlUe In Nmv Mexico Mmitimn'ii 4 L' nl Mlnrfi ( irncrnl Wnlrrti A company , composed mostly of St. Louis capitalists has been organized and will file rtlclcs of Incorporation In n few days , to ty a pipe line to run oil from the Bait 'reek oil fields through Orln Junction to ort I irainlc , xays the Wyoming Derrick. "rom there the oil will bo shipped In barges own the Plutte and Missouri rivers to St. ' . .oiils , where It will be treated and put upon ho markets of the world. H Is only 135 mllrs from the Salt Crook 11 wells to Fort I.aramlc , and Orln Junction , Ighty mllps from the wells , Is on a direct ( no between the two points , thus giving in outlet over the Union Pacific for oil going west. If arrangements can bo made with MIC Cheyenne & Northern ( the Union Pacific ystcm ) tanks will be erected at Orln or 'licyenno for the western market. If no arrangements can bo made with the Union Pacific olllclals then the oil will all tie run to St. Iouls. It was first Intended to pipe the oil to Casper and from Casper by water , but it was found upon Investigation that the raphlu in the Plaits river at Fairbanks were an insurmountable obstacle. Then It was decided to run the line from the wells up Salt creek to Its sotirco and thus bo able to connect wllh all the wells hereafter to ho drilled In that valley without laying more pipe. When at the head of Salt creek It Is a down hill pull nil the way to Fort Laramle and on to St. Louis. It Is surmised by some that the Pennsyl vania Oil company Is the power behind the throne. Others bay It Is known that the Pennsylvania company Is now negotiating for better rales with the Northwestern rail road , and while their negotiations are pend ing , they would not take n hand In any other gchoiue. It Is certainly the most feasible and prac ticable plan yet biiggeslcd lo get nil out to the world , and will result In the thorough development of central Wyoming's vast oil fields. GII/r-RDfiKO MONTBZUMA. Monte/.uma county , which Is In the south western corner of Colorado , Is one of the best , If not the very be3t , agricultural , min eral and stock raising counties In the state , to say nothing of Its many other resources , writes a prominent mining expert and corre spondent of the Deliver Times. Hero the winter Is over and spring Is here. Plowing and the putting In of crops by the farmers has commenced. Grass Is springIng - Ing up ; Iho slock has wintered well with but little loss and Is In good condition. Pros pects wcro never better for a good harvest of everything planted and every farmer Is making an extra effort to Increase his acre age and crops In anticipation of a greater demand for farm products , owing to the In flux of emigration which Is sure to come. Many will como on account of the rich gold fields at the head of the Mancos river and Us branches , and the unsurpassed mineral wealth of the La Plata mountains , especially In gold , and the rich placer mines along every stream leading from them. Rich dis coveries are occurring In the Ute mountains , which seem lo Increase as development progresses. There are also the moat Inexhaustible placer fields of the San Juan river , from the mouth 'of the Mancos river to the Colorado river , where shipments of placer gold are even now being made dally , notwithstanding the primitive methods by which the gold Is being recovered. With the new and Im proved machinery now being' Introduced our popalatlon must Increase rapidly. The La Plala.gold. fields , situated In Montc- znnia and La Plata counties , are unquestion ably among the richest In the world. Cer tainly they are the most extensive and con tain the largest gold deposits In the state. Hero are largo deposits or contact veins of free gold ore and Innumerable mines of auriferous sulphides , aralnlcal-phyrltuous and tellurium ores , the latter often rich In values per ton , but pockety , Iho former averaging from $10 fo $40 per ton. Arrangements are now being made for the Introduction of the cholorlc system and a mill will bo erected as soon as a demonstration can be made that this process can treat these ores suc cessfully. This demonstration will be made by shipping a quantity of the La Plata ores to a plant now In operation , which will de termine the value of the process for the La Plata mines. - IMPORTANT DISCOVKIUBS. Twq discoveries , which have just become public , are of vast Importance to Cripple Creek , as they not only extend the region far north of Us previous supposed limits , but , being widely separated , prove that the mineral bearing belt Is fully as wldo In this locality as further south. Prospcc ors wllo recently arrived brought news of an immense strike of free gold at a point ono mile cast of the Midland station In a gold bearing lode. The other strike Is In the Ituby mine , which Is two miles west of here. The ore Is reported to run $250 to the ton. It was encountered at a depth ot 32 feet , and an assay of twelve and a half ounces was re turned by Hersoy of Leadvllle. A carload of life mineral Is ready for shipment to Denver. GAMP FLOYD PHOSPKCTS. Some very substantial and gratifying news comes from Camp Floyd , Utah's great gold field , Messrs. Sherman & Jacobs have struck a body of pay ore , ono and one-half mlle.-i southeast of the Glcncoo property and about live miles southeast ot the famous Mcrcur , which enlarges this rich district wonderfully , and verifies hopes and predic tions ot nvon experienced In mining. Sam ples of thin ere have been brought to this city , and It Is almost Identical In appear ance with the Mercur and Marlon ore , says the Salt Lake Tribune. It carries cinnabar , nnd an average of a dozen assays shows that It ruiu from $2 to $7.CO In gold. The ere body Is being developed by double shifts , and Is about four feet in thlckncas. The strike la an Important ono for the district , as It shown the vastncss of the Hold , and Is an Indication that the prediction made that It Wll ) provo the most wonderful gold belt over discovered Is about to bo verified by tangible results. Messrs. Sherman & Jacobs have done a. great deal ot prospecting In the district since last November , and the strike Is the first commercial ere found by them. They are Colorado men and will endeavor to niako the most of the golden opportunity presented to them. ULACIC DIAMONDS OF MONTANA. Next to the gold mines of Montana the coal deposits are today attracting the most attention. U has been known for years that Montana has oxtenslvo deposits of coal of excellent quality , but It has only boon during the lust live years that capital has been interested and has gone system atically to work to develop them. Wher ever tills has been done the Investment has paid , and as a result the coal deposits of tlio state are today more nearly apprecia ted at their trim value than they have over been before , * aya the Helena Independtnt. In fact conservative men say that at the present rate of Increase In production the mining ot coal will soon maku up for the rtagnatlon In the silver mining In- dijst.ry/.aiid that 111 the next five years tlio coal output In Montana will reach a value that few unacquainted with the subject would believe. There la no reason why coal mining In Montana should not have as great a growth as In Colorado , where It has Increased from 375,000 tons In ISS3 to 4- 200,000 tons In 1S93. The coal output In Montana In 1893 was 500,000 tons , the prin cipal producers being , the Ilocky Fork. Helena & Livingston. Sund Coulee and Tlniborllno mines. All the big mining companies of the state , such as the Ana conda , IHltto & lloston , noston & Montana , Parrot , the works owned by W. A. Clark , and a number of pthem , are using coal , and the consumption of this fuel by the mining companies will Increase very rapidly from this on , as wood U growing scarcer every yfcar and the contractors are compelled to go. every teuton farther and farther away from the railroad after their supplies. In quality too coal produced lit this state In equal both In heating and cooking capac ity to the coal produced both In Wyoming and Colorado. Montana Imports thousands of tons of coal every year , but this will not long continue , and In a few years every pomp ! of coal burned In tfils state will coma out of Montana mines. The larger the rail road mileage. In the state the more valuable do the coal flchU become and the more anxious are capitalists to Invest. GOLD MINES AT CIIEVASSE. Lawrence Link ot Clnnabnr , who Is In terested In gold properties at Crevcassc , Mont. , believes that will be the liveliest camp In the fitato during the coming season. He xays that the Montana Mining and Milling company are only running from five lo ten stamps of their mill at present owing to a scarcity of water , but they contemplate the construction of a water ditch Ihls glimmer which will furnish all the water necessary to run the mill at Its full cnpaclty twenty stamps. This ditch will tap Knowlcs' creek , will bo about four miles In length nnd will coit In the neighborhood of $25,000. Mr. Link also says that the Campbell claim has been bonded to a syndicate- who will erect a mill on It this season , and that within the past few days William Sncarloy has bonded a valuable claim for $7,000 to another syndicate who will also erect a mill this ncason. Ho believes that a cus tom mill at Creveasse would be a good In- veslnicnl , as the Crevasse company does no custom work , and there Is a largo quan tity of ere In Email quantities awaiting treatment. RIO GRANDE PLACERS. E. H. Durgln of this place returned from the newly discovered placers on the Rio Grande nlxlcen miles cast of Tres Pledras , bringing with him at least $1 worth of gold , the result of panning seven shovels full of gravel. It Is all coarse gold , says a special to the Denver Republican. Among the lot Is a nugget worth at least 25 cents. The gold Is found In a bed of gravel on cither side of the Rio .Grande. It underlies the tmilpl and volcanic rocks , and Its extent up and down the river Is as yet not known. It Is beyond question a rich placer district and unlimited water privileges to work It. There are about twenty miners on the ground , and they held a meeting and passed mining laws and named the district Mclgs camp , In honor of R. S. Mclgs , the discoverer of the gravel strata. W. A. Glpson and 13. W. Illff , old Crecde miners , acted as chairman and secre tary of Iho meeting , which passed resolutions that no stuko should hold a claim more than ten days without bona fide work being done on the ground ; also , that no claim should cross the Rio Grande , making the center ot the stream the dividing line between the en Is of claims. THR DAKOTAS. The Ice gorge In the Missouri above Cham berlain has broken. The river Is completely filled with running Ice , and Is slowly rising. At n meeting of the Lake Madison Vet erans' association , held at Sioux Falls , It was decided to hold ( he annual district encamp ment of this organization In Sioux Falls , June 19 , 20 and 21. Four gentlemen , forerunners of a largo Danish colony from Wisconsin , have been looking over Roberts county lands with a view of settling. They express themselves as greatly pleased , and say that about 100 families will bo hoar In the early spring and buy deeded lands. The Missouri river bridge engineers are still at work sounding the river bed at Yankton for bridge piers. There are twelve men In the gang and they will be employed at this work until April 15. Recent devel opments Indicate that the bridge Is to bo built for the Great Northern road exclu sively. Insurance Commlsloner Cudhle has Issued an advance statement of the Insurance busi ness done by the fire and marine companies In the state ddrlfac the past year. This statement shows that the losses Incurred In the state during that time have amounted to $1,219,802.80. The total losses paid during the past year amounted to $1,179,060.83. The artificial rain committee of Drown , Marshall and Splnk counties met at Aber deen and effcctcdja comblnailon of Interests. Each delegation guaranteed that ample funds could and would be raised for the pro posed test. A , committee , was appointed from each .county togp.to Goodland , Kan. , and Ireat with . - Je.wel nd. other alleged rain makers.

Specimens have been found by several re cently In the vicinity of the lake. Mr. Nel son , not content with prospecting on the north side , crossed over to the reservation , where he found gold-hearing quartz. Governor Sheldon' has Issued a proclama tion quarantining southern cattle from ex port Into South Dakota. The boundaries of the district quarantined are the same as adopted by the _ department of agriculture and the restrictions about shipment of cattle from Infec cd districts Is the same. The quarantine holds gpod from March 15 to December 1 of this year. The state I3oard of Health and the state veterinarian and his deputies are charged with the execution of the proclamation. COLORADO. Three new strikes of gold ore are re ported tn the Bear creek district , Idaho Springs. " The city waterworks at Greeley are being Improved by the addition ot a new pump with a capacity of 1 500,000 gallons dally. The Carr mine' , Gllpln counly , shipped seventeen cars of gold-Iron ore to the smel ters last week , which netted $100 per ton. A parly of Denycr men , o.mong whom Is Judge Yeaman , 'will develop the Phenlx mine , Qoulder county. Stamps will bo used. Gulf railway officials will assist the Cheyenne counly commissioners to construct a good wagon bridge across the Platte at Wendover. The question of Issuing $25,000 In bonds to construct a sewer system will bo sub mitted to the voters of Grand Junction at the municipal election In April. The Cornfield reservoir system near Crow creek Is nearlng completion , and It Is ex pected that work will al , bo done In about thirty days. The system's capacity Is about 800,000,000 cubic feet. The sheep men are beginning to realize that the Plateau valley In Mesa county Is no place for them , and are fast with drawing their flocks , while the settlers are organized against any new comers. Duringo , says the Herald , is fast filling up with strangers , and by the time snow disappears In the La Platas there will prob ably bo several thousand people ready for the spring campaign among the hills of southwestern Colorado. The excitement over the gold fields at Canon City Is still at fever heat , and sev eral prospecting outfits have left there for the now camp. Two lown sites have been laid out. It Is claimed that ono claim which Is down ton feet shows wlro gold. Pros- pcclors are coming In from other places and from present Indications Cripple Creek has got another rival. The Florissant Deacon states that last week while out driving with her father , Miss Slao Frost discovered some very fine jasper float. They traced It to a lead which showed a vein running from five to twenty- five feet In length , and showing for over a quarter of a mile. Miss Mae located Iho claim and has named It the Sadie D. , and will Immediately begin developing It. A party ot seventy Swedes has arrived at Las Anlinas lo examine the agricul tural lands of the Arkansas valley. They were taken In charge by Manager Cooper of the Colorado Farm. Land and Irrigation company , who provided carrlagcn and drove through the farms ot the north bide. . They are all favorably Impressed with the lands , and quite a number ot them have already expressed their Intention to Invest and malio their homes In the valley. WYOMING.

A number of good mines are running day and night , and will liavo a sea son from six lo seven months. Besides these mines , quite u number of gulches , heretofore not having much water , are being ground- sluiced by ranchers. The .season's gold out put on Foot's creek this year will probably bo doubled , and reach over $100,000. WASHINGTON. The crow's nest cut-off , by which the Canadian Pacific will gain direct entrance to Spokane and other Washington cities , will be completed this year. During the year ending March 5 there wore more rainy days than clear ones nt Seattle , Wash. Rain fell on 193 days , leaving 172 on which no rain fell. Old Fort McDowell , A.

The church Is said to have purchased 3,000,000 acres ot land In northern Mexico , on which It will locate 20,000 Mormons. The tract Is situated In the Degolldo district of northern Chihuahua , about 120 miles south ot New Mexico. Since the discovery of rich placer beds at Torres , Mexico , many prospect borings are being sunk. The gold comes up on the augur as large as graJns ot wheat , and the soil gives evidence of being as rich ground OH was over discovered in Mexico. Native and American prospectors are flockIng - Ing In by the hundreds , and many are meet ing with good results , although they are jealously watched by the Indians. Efforts are being made to liavo the reser vation ot the Mescalcro Apaches In New Mexico opened for settlement. There are 575,000 acres In the reservation.

It Is generally ntlmltted that Hon. D. I' Ilolfo of Nebraska GUr lias tlio best com mand of stories of nnjriof ttic pioneer settlers of Otoo county. As die relates thorn they preserve n crisp freshness that Is delight- ftilly entertaining. This cnnnot , bo repro duced nt second-hand and so the writer will not attempt. It , but many of the stories arose so valuable from an historical point of view that It would be a losa to the community If they wcro not preserved , Imperfect as the attempt must necessarily he. One of these stories of early days was related to a Nebraska City 1'ress reporter recently. It Is as follows : Early In the 'COs John and Jed Oilman kept a ranch at Cottonwood Springs on the 1'latto river. Moth were known far and wldo throughout this country , and John died only u few years ago In this city. Jed Is the Jovial farmer who lives Just west of the city and 1ms even more friends than he tins corn. Ono winter's night In the early 'COs , during a eovero and driving storm , an Indian came to the ranch and asked for lodging. He was sick and almost dead from exhaustion. They took him In and made a pallet of skins for him near the lire and there they kept him for several days , taking good care of him until he quite recovered from Ills sick ness. That Indian's name was Two-Pace. Ho was a half-breed , Ogallala Sloti.x and Cheyenne , but none of his friends among the white men will ever tell you that his nnmo was significant of perfidy. Notwithstanding the end to which he came later , and which I shall narrate , he always acted honorably toward the bottlers , and were It not for his generous assistance many a white man would have bit the dust , who lived on to grow rich at the expense of the Indians. Two-Face recovered toward sprlns from his sickness , but he did not leave the Gll- Inun ranch. He acted for them as a trader among the Indians , and for about two years went back and forth from the ranch to the tribe with merchandise and furs , often having In his possession many hundred dollars worth of goods. And In all of his transactions he was found honest and faith ful. ful.In In the winter of 1863-4 Two-Pace told the people at the Gllman rancho repeatedly that there was an Indian uprising Im minent , and that It would break out with the opening of spring. He warned them to make all needful preparations and to bo on their guard ; and the actions of the Indians seemed to establish the truth of what he said. They had already toward the end of winter begun to make raids upon the ranches and to drive on" stock. Ono night In August , 1SG4 , a runner came to the Gllman rancho from Two-Face. The Indians were ready for the attack , and were even then on the way toward the valley to fall upon the wlilte settlers. The warning hod not ( come any .too soon. Believing Implicitly In the word of Two- Face , John Gllman took his family and fled to Fort McPherson , fifteen miles west of the ranche , and there they were afforded protection. Jed Gllman and two or three men , one of whom was H. W. Angell of this city , remained behind to do what they could to protect the property and the cat tle. They corralled all the stock. In the stockade ; and with their guns In , their hands awaited''the coining ! of the , Indians. Jed says now ? when reminded ot the time , , that both iliei'and' JAngolI were sossearcd ithat they wouldn't have bled a drop If their heads had been cut off. Well , the Oilman ranche was not molested , except only that a few cattle were driven off , a very Inconsiderable loss , but the other set tlers In the neighborhood were almost ex terminated. Only a sh'ort distance below the Gllman ranche live men wcro killed. This was the beginning of what has been known ever since as the I'lntte Valley Sioux war. Many ranchmen and their families were mas sacred , their ranches burned and their cattle driven off , and others escaped only by flight. During all the latterniart of the summer the business of overland transportation was Impeded , and the few trains that crossed the plains after that ttlmo did so only under guard. Two-Face , the faltutul Indian who saved the lives of the Gllmans and many other settlers at that time , , was afterwards hung at Fort Laramlo at the order of Major Daumcr , after whom the Grand Army post in this city has been named. lie was accused of complicity In other Indian depre dations , yet those who knew him best be lieved him Innocent , as he himself claimed. Ills-friendship and gratitude to the white man dated from the time he was taken In and cared for at the Gllman ranche , and Just before he was hung he called several ot his red brethren about him and made them a speech , as only an eloquent Indian can. With protests of Innocence ho said that ho had'always been a friend to the white man , yet this was his reward. He advised them not to follow his example. And who shall say that the stinging rebuke of Two-Face at the Injustice and perfidy of the white man , that went on ringing in the cars of his Sioux comrades , was not one of the Incen tives to the greater uprising of 187fi , which culminated In the massacre of Glister's brigade ? Croup and Whooping Cough. "I have three children who are subject to croup , and have found that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will euro them quicker than anything else I can get. If you do not bo- llevo that this remedy will euro the croup , do as I did , try it , and you will soon be con vinced. " H. M. Chatman , Uewpy , III. Whooping cough Is also deprived of all dan gerous consequences when Chamberlain's Cough Hemedy Is freely given. There is nothing equal to It for cither of these ail ments. For sale by druggists.

Common carriers of a passenger should 1)0 held to the strictest accountability and bo required to exorcise the highest degree of care and forethought of which the human mind IH capable. This rule Is founded on principles of public policy nnd enforced by I ho courts for the piotcctiun of the trn'vellng public. 3. When the proof HIOWH that one was a passenger of a common carrier , and while such passenger was Injured , the law raises the presumption of the carrler'n lla- lilllty from the fact of the Injury ; but this presumption Is not a conclusive one ; It is such a presumption as In the absence of all evidence as to the cause of the pan- sengcr's Injury would render the carrier liable. And In such case , when the carrier showH that the passenger \MIH Injured by stepping from Its running train , the pre sumption of liability raised by law against the. carrier Is overthrown , and It then ilu- volveH upon the passenger la show some justifiable reason for such action to relieve ilmself from the Imputation of gross nog- igeneu ; and the supposition or belief of the lassciigcr that the train was Hlnndlng still when he took the step which Injured him H not competent evidence from which tim lury may rind that the passenger was not legllgent , unless accompanied by evidence lending to show circumstances rendering ihls supposition reasonable or at least ex cusable ; IIH In the absence of such ovl- lence no reasonable mind could honestly Hiiy that the passenger wan not guilty of tress negligence , and u verdict for such wssenger would bu without evidence to mistaln It. 4.
