THE OMAHA DATLT BETO : MONDAY , JANUARY 4 , 1897.
winter will bo aske.l for an appropriation
n Tci nry to make a suitable showing. Wo
bolloro our repreirontntlrcn fully realize the
advantages to bo derived and look with favor
on the proposed exposition. The action of
Nebraska will have great Influence with the
other transmtaslftslppl states. Lot every citi
zen of Nebraska take n personal Interest In
this matter and do all they can to assist
this great enterprise that means to much
to her peoplo.
Hastings Tribune : The Transmlsslsslppl
Kxposltlon , to be held at Omaha In 1893 , bids
fair to bo one ot the beat exhibits ot Itu
kind ever attempted. All of the transmls-
nfoslppl Rtntes should , and probably will ,
participate In this exposition ; and as for
Nebraska , nothing could be more beneficial
to her various Interest than a successful
consummation ot the contemplated exposi
tion. The people of this state , especially
those who arc financially Interested , will
make no mistake If genoraus support Is
Klvpti toward the carrying on of this work ;
and no cl'lzcn of Nebraska who Is proud of
his state will refuse or neglect to give
the undertaking at least his moral sup
port. The preoa of the state will no doubt
do Its full share In keeping the matter bc-
fore the worl 1 by giving It the widest pub
licity possible. Sketches and letters de
scriptive of the various features of the
exposition will appear In the columns of
this paper later on and no doubt will prove
Interesting reading to our patrons.
Kearney Hub : Edward Hose-water , editor
of The Omaha lice , having been appointed
manager of the department of publicity of
the Tr.insmlsslislppl Kxposltlon , Imuca n
circular letter to the prces Inviting newspa
per co-operation In making known the scope
of the enterprise and the advantages that
must accrue to the slates went of the Ml.i-
jdsslppl through the holding ot the exposi
tion. Mr. Howjwntcr's request will have a
hearty response. Ho Is onu of the best
known men In the west , nnd one of the best
fitted for the po'.ltlon , nnd the work that
has been given over to his management
and supervision will bo well done In every
particular. When It In understood that the
country west of the Mississippi comprises
about two-thirds of the area of the country ,
and that It possesses all the elements of
wealth necessary to make It as nearly Inde
pendent of any other rcctlon , as ono country
can bo Independent of another. It will bo
realized that there are great possibilities
in the coming exposition , which will be
moro nearly national than any heretofore
held In the United S la ten , nsldp from the
Centennial exposition and the World' fair.
O'Neill Frontier : Nebraska as a whole
Is justly proud of the efforts now being put
forth in behalf of the Transmlsslsslppl Kx
posltlon , to bo held nt Omaha In 18'JS. The
work of organization has been completed
nnd perfected , congress has pledged a hand
some government display to tha amount
of $200,000 , the capital stock Is being rapidly
subscribed for , different ( itatca nro making
appropriations commensurate to the char
acter of the exposition , and It now remains
for the Nebraska legislature to make a
handsome appropriation to help represent
our great and varied Industries , and the
mtcccas of the show will be assured. What
the World's Fair was to Chicago the Trana-
mlssl&dppl Kxposltlon will be to Omaha and
Nebraska. A glance at the personnel of
A.ho men at the head of the enterprise alone
guarantees Its success , especially the de
partment of publicity and promotion , which
Is presided ever by Hon. K. Itosewatcr of
The Hce. The HUCCC-JH of The Omaha Hce
is a striking example of the ability of Mr.
llosowater In this direction , which alone
would Insure the success of any enterprise
with which ho Is associated.
York Tlnica : Omaha people nro making a
Breateffovt to make the Trnnsmlsslsslppl Kx.
position a HUtcces. They are taking hold of
the Hchcmo with energy and great liberal
ity. The entire west Is concerned In the
project , but Nebraska will bo moro Imme
diately and directly benefited than any other
state , and the people of the entire common
wealth Hhould second the efforts of the
metropolis with zeal and oarneatncsa
Omaha should not hesitate to give the In
vitation to the state , and wo believe the re
sponse will be all that could bo asked. The
Impression should not bo allowed to obtain
that It Is an Omaha project or that the entire -
tire management Is to bo In that city. Suita
ble men from all parts of the state should
bo at once called in to asslrt and should be
aroused In an many localities as possible.
An appropriation should be made by the leg
islature , not for Omaha , but for Nebraska ,
and the enterprising people of the state
should BCD to It that It Is ns liberal as the
times nnd the financial condition of Uio state
will allow. Omaha Is doing all It can of
itself , and It only remains now for the people
plo of that city 'to enlist Immediately as
many Influential men In other parts of Ne
braska Bf ? they possibly can. It's a good
thing. Push It along.
Pawnee Press : The Transmlsslnslppl and
International Kxposltlon , to bo held In
Omaha from Juno to November , 1S8S , Is an
event In which all Nobruskans feel a keen
Interest , The success of the enterprise
Is on assured fact. Omaha people have
subscribed liberally to the undertaking In
amount over $400.000 and congress has
pledged not less than $200.000 for a govern
ment exhibit. Whatever tends to the up
building ot Nebnaka as a whole Is worthy
the undivided support of all our people.
In this connection , therefore , it Is a matter
of congratulation to know that all citizens
of the state nro collating their co-operation
In the Important event. The coming legls
laturo nhould bo as liberal us pcxulblo with
an appropriation for a creditable exhibition
of the resources of Nobrrska , .which will
bo returned tenfold through the judicious
advertising that will result from such ex
hibition. Sketches and lettcis descriptive
of the varioim features of the exhibition
will be published In the Press * from tlmo
to time , In order that our readers may
acquaint themselves with the scope of the
enterprise and the advantages that will ul
timately accrue to the states west of the
Mississippi , and especially to Nebraska.
Lincoln Call : Through various Muds of
adversity , no state In the union has lest
7ivoro than Nebraska. Ono of the most sub-
Btantlal measures ot restoring confidence
among the people and In the resources ot
this stale la the Tnuimnlsslsslppl Kxpcsl-
tlon. Subscriptions to the amount of $100-
000 have already been aocurod and congress
has pledged not lore than $200,000 for the
Kovornm nt exhibit. In this connection It Is
urged that the coming session of the legis
lature do the proper thing BO far as a state
exhibit Is concerned. U Is well known that
the several transmlsslsslppl states -will vlo
with each other as to the exhibition of
tholr resources , and that Nebraska , being the
chief promoter nnd the present homo of the
inhibition , the center of all attractions dur
ing a considerable period of tlmo. It be
comes Imperative that the Nebraska state
exhibit b ? second to none , and that In
every particular the legislature and the people
plo bo found wanting In nothing that will
inspire nil the west to make the Tranamls-
slsslppl Kxposttlon ono worthy of the gen
ius and energy which has led the course cf
eniplro beyond the Father of Waters. It
should ba remembered that there are many
owners of Nebraska property who no longer
reside hero who should , nevertheless , Inter
est thcinoelvcH In the miccMsti.l representa
tion of Nebraska anil her Interests nt Omaha
in ' 98. Hesldes , It Is none too early for every
traveler from tills state nnd every social
nud business letter that leaves It to carry
abroad some pleasurable Information or so
licitation relative to the expedition. No
such opportunity 1ms over been given to
stand by and to stand up for Nebraska. What
are our people going to do about It ?
Seward Reporter : The board of managers
of the Tninsml&slEslppI Kxposltlon ha been
duly constituted , and elllclent mm have been
put at the head of the various departments.
Thcao men have been delected from the lead
ing buslnoiu men of Omaha , mm who have
demonstrated their ability In business af
fairs requiring great capacity , and under
such management there can be no doubt of
the succcra of the exposition. Subscriptions
have been received amounting to $400.000.
and the government has pledged $200.000 to
inako a national exhibit. The great bene
fit which Nebraska will receive from this
< exposition can hardly bo estimated. While
' * It Is not and will not lu a Nebraska affair
wholly , th la state will bo more largely bene
fited than any other part of the great northwest -
west , which is Interested In the exposition ,
U Is much to bo hoped that the Nebraska
lofililiitmx ) will BOO this mutter In its trim
light , and appreciate the Importance of a
liberal appropriation. Other states In the
contlguouo territory will bo aiked to par
ticipate , and in order to secure their hearty
co-operation Nebraska -must manlfeut her
own Interest In the matter. This In not a
m question of polities or partisanship , but a
- { question of buslnrnt for the Htute , and every
number of the ItgUluture should fcol a per-
nonal Interest In the exposition , nnd Rive
hi * wnliitanco In putting Nebraidm In the
right attitude. Ileyond question every dollar
lar spent by tliu itnto In the exposition wll
be returned many tlmea , and a liberal ap
proprlntlou will be n Judicious Investment
It 19 n matter In which every citizen of the
state Is Intcrcstel , The success of tlic expo
Rltlon will bo of the greatest benefit to Nebraska
braska , nnd Nebraska rtiould ungrudgingly
Invest a sum of money sufllclcnt , with the
other guaranteed UMilstance , to niako It a
success.

Knnsns City Stnr.
A Nebraska man has written to the gov
ernor of Colorado suggesting that public
silver repositories bo established , under the
control of the state , where silver bullion
may bo deposited and certificates-Hssusd
against It , to bo put In general circulation
for tiso as money. The only good reason
Why the plan should not bo tried Is that
It would Involve a useless expenditure of
public money. It would servo one good pur
pose. It would provo that more money Is
not what the country wanta at the present
tlmo. If there were a scarcity of currency
such certificates might readily get Into USD
In response to tbo demand for a circulation
medium. Uut there la not the least need
of any such addition to the money of the
country , nnd , therefore , no one would use
such silver certificates II they should be Is
sued. The United States exports about ? 30- ,
000,000 worth of silver per annum. If this
much silver or any part of It should ! > -
kept at homo and used as the basis of a cir
culating medium there would be exports of
gold to make up for the silver kept In tlvls
country , so that such a ochome would not
Increase the net supply of money , even If
It could bo put Into operation. The BUS-
gestlon of plans of that sort simply Illus
trates the lack of Intelligent comprehension
of the subject of money among n wly risen
would-bo financial reformers.

Pulse of Western Progress.
Another sheep war Is Imminent In western
Colorado , this time between Utah sheepmen
nnd the residents of Oarflold nnd Mcsn coun
ties , Colorado. Private Information has
reached the state veterinarian , Bays the
Cheyenne Sun-Leader , to the effect that
trouble was browing.
Ho took prompt measures to repress It by
obtaining the advice of Attorney General
Curr on the rights of Utah division of the
would-bo belligerents In their controversy
with the Colorado people , nnd a courier was
at once sent to Thompson , Utah , with a
mandate of the attorney general prohibiting
them from trespassing with their Hocks ot
sheep on the Colorado territory. There are
between 30,000 and 50,000 Utah sheep , under
charge of n strong force of sheepmen nnd
herders , now gathered Just over the Colorado
line , close to Thompson , according to the re
ports received by Lr. ) Oresswcll. U Is said
to bo the intention of their owners to drive
the animals Into Colorado directly after Gov
ernor Mclntlrc goes out of olllce on January
12. The Utah men believe they- can uvado
the provisions ot the state quarantine laws
about the time the change In the office of
governor occurs , and mean to tnko advantage
of It. The seriousness of the situation can
readily bo seen when the scenes which oc
curred around the town of Oobecque , both
In Mesa nnd Garfleld counties , three years
ago , are remembered. At that tlmo sheep
scab was virulent In all the sheep herds of
Utah , and In fear of the contagion the Colorado
rado sheepmen took the law Into their own
hands In keeping out iratl sheep from Utah.
They provided themselves with rllles and
ammunition , and , taking posts on the
trails , they turned back every flock of sheep
that came over the Utah border. Not ex
pecting hostility ot this kind , the owners
and herders of the alien sheep were unpro-
parcd to meet It. They were held up at the
muzzles ot Winchesters and escorted back
to tlitlr original country. Much excitement
attended the process of deportation , but none
of the Utah men sustained Injury , as they
all took It with commendable lucckncsn. As
for the Utah sheep , the Coloradoans In their
resentment of the Invasion slaughtered them
by the hundreds. Ucad mutton lay along
the trail for a great many miles. The
episode was followed by a stormy time , ns
reprisals for what occurred were threatened
upon the Utah side , and for a tlmo It looked
as If an interstate civilian war was likely to
ensue.
NI2W GOLD MECCA.
Dcadwood Is wild about rich gold fields
In Itaggcd Top , says a Dcndwond dispatch
to the Sioux Falls Argus-Lender. Ulack
Hills towns have been emptied by the rush
of prospectors. Spcarflsh , Dear Gulch , Carbonate -
bonato and St. Ongc have taken to the moun
tain. There lias not been such a scatter
ing with ore pans , picks nnd stakes since
Dald mountain and Uuby linsln put the
miners Into n fury. The diggers who first
broke ground In the new field have been
out but little more than n month , an 1 It
Is estimated that a fortune a day has been
the average. It has been a poor man's
bonanza , the mlneial r.ppcarln ? on the sur

JUgged Top has been passed over time and
again by oil the men who came to Deadwood -

close to the town , which.lies not been con
sidered productive of mineral wealth. It

miner , dreaming of riches , put In his tim >
rambling over the precipitous cliffs over
looking the canyon to the east. There were
open fissures and outcropping shalen , and ,
picking out a favorable spot , ho started a
camp. lie struck It rich. ' The word quickly
passed that all the drift was full ot gold ,
nnd two new towns have already sprung
up In the camp. Thcro was n crazy run of
prcepcctora and surveys have now been
made ES far west as 'Hear Gulch cud Nigger
Hill , fifteen miles away.
Dcadwood papers have dally Items about
the locations of rich new claims. Morris
Kllenburg sold n fractional intciest In one
of his for $7.000 cash. It has been a paying
proposition from -tho grass roots. Thcro
Is ir.oro money than this In the fnro of the
shaft , which Is not down more than ten
feet. Wlldcy , Hayes & Co. have struck a
four-fcot V.ln , the ores from which ns-
nay $100 to $200 a ton. The vein Is widen
ing nnd growing richer os the work pro
gresses. The whole section Is filled with
stories of fabulous wealth nnd there are
a.ssnys to prove that many of the claims arc
not boycnd the expectations of those who
have ruabrd Into the now field.
NOUTHKUN PACIFIC EXTENSION.
It Is authoritatively stated that the North
ern Pacific will extend Its line the coming
F'imincr from Kdgerlcy to the Missouri
liver , traversing llio country ! n a south'
westerly direction , which is calculated to
bring It to Kulm , Ashley and Kuroka. The
work , says an Aberdeen dispatch to the
St. Pr.ul Pioneer Press , will be pushed
From Kdtcrlcy ; and will make that a lively
town during the summer and fall. The
building of this line Is nioro than likely
to result In the extension of the Great
S'orthcrn west from Kllendale. the See from
[ Culm to nismarck. and perhaps the Mil
waukee from ndgorlry , 01' Eureka , or both.
It would seem to be not at all Improbable
: hat while the roads are nt It the grade
ictween this city and Lcola and Ashley
will bo Ironed nnd operated , probably by

MONTANA'S DIG WOOL CLIP.
According to reports of the commissioner
f the Montana state bureau of labor , In-
ustry and agriculture , as well as statistics
urnUhed by the American Wool Growers'
ssoclatlon , Montana leads all the states and
( trritorics of the union In the number of
er nhcep and In the quantity of wool pro-
need during the last year. In addition to
Ills , says a Helena dispatch to the Mln-
eapolla Times , the wool of Montana Is pro-
ouneed to bo of superior quality nnd hlgher *
rado than that produced by any other of
10 newly created western states. The num-
icr of sheep assessed throughout the state
f Montana for the year 189d was 2.812,829 ,
vhlch allowed an Increauo of moro than 210-
00 over the number assessed In 1895 , In
ormor years , to get an approximate call-
iato of the total number of sheep In the
tate , 0 per cent was added to the assessed
number , to cover the shearing sheep that
were supposed to have escaped amcnsment ,
The only dUcouraglng feature regarding the
ale of the wool clip the present year was
the low prlco paid to the pound and the largo
amounts of wool which the owners were
compelled to consign to eastern houses for
utorago or for sole. While , tbo sales ot las' ,
year's wool aggregated , nearly 200.000. the
clip of this year. wH6n rill sold , will only
aggregate $1,750,000. Approximately 25 pet
cent of the entire weol-cllp this year was
i sold at an avcrago pricu of S.01 cents n
pound , being less by 2 or 3 cents than the
I nvwago prlco of last -year. The balance ,
i about 75 per cent ot the slip , was consigned
I to eastern houses , at,0.11 , , .advance Generally
i of 5 cents n pound , or less , on which Interest
has to bo paid. These ( Wo causes combined
' have produced a loss of . $500.000 to the wool
I growers of Montana. Since the election ,
| however , there arc Indications of better
i times for the sheep ami Tattle Industries of
| the Elate. The sheep men , who have been
' so discouraged by the low prlro of wool that
1 they wore ready to discontinue the business.
) are now feeling In much better spirits on
account of the advance In mutton , and are
very hopeful regarding the prlco of wool
for the next year.
NK\V KLDOKADO IN UTAH.
In the Illuo mountains In the southeastern
part of Utah la being opened one of the
richest gold mining districts probably yet
discovered , nays the Aztec , N. M. . Index.
Tlic ore Is free milling and of high grade.
As work progresses , richer and larger bodlc.i
of ore arc opened up , and confidence In the
district has reached that degree which Indi
cates that there will be an Immense boom
there In the next sixty days. There is
abundant sulxtnncc there to sustain a boom
of any size and the stuff Is In sight. In
the early history of the district the Immense
amount of lloat In which free gold could bo
seen , attracted attention , nnd finally gold
scckora began to prospect In the piophyry
dykes , which are to bo seen on every hand.
Many experienced miners did not think It
pcsslblc to find gold In any mich formation ,
but It3 \ there , nevertheless , and In large
quantities. The richest lead yet found Is In
the Viking , from which five tons of ore were
taken within ten feet of the grass roots
that averaged $15(5 ( per ton. Picked samples
r.s.uyed from $3GOO to $7,000 per ton. Cap-
tnin Jackson has his five- tamp mill running
on Dream ore of n very high grade , and a

TUUNK FULL OF GOLD.

tholr story Is true , but there Is n lurking
QKsplelon thr.t they have found a quantity
of counterfeit coin. J. G. Wofi'ord. formerly

for the report of the discovery. To n Call
correspondent I'o exhibited n couple of the
bags In which the money was found In the
trunk. The inprlnt of the coins could be
scon plainly In the cloth , which was ready
to fall apart from ago. Mr. Wofford stated
that the money was . all In gold and
amounted to about $150,000. Ho stated that
In hi ? opinion the treasure had been burled
there years ago by Joacjuln Murletta , the
noted outlaw of the early days. The ox-
olfi'-cr believes that the nionry Is the plun
der of BOine big robbery by the daring bri
gand , and that Vnsquez burled It on the
plains for future use.or prohably boeauso
! t Impeded his flight. According to Wof-
ford's story , an old Jjcxlcan who died re
cently told the person who afterward dis
covered the treasure of Its existence nnd the
piaco where It could be found. lly a streak
of fortune the trunk was found In one of
the first dlttglnps for It. Mr. Wofford re
fuses to give any further particulars , nnd
will not tell the narieJ of the finders. The
exact point Kt which tl'o trunk was found .
eaiinot bo learned. WoJTird elves the place
a ? bolus within a mile of the cemetery. Of
rourso , there Is n possibility that Wofford'.i i
'
friend has found a foriune , but It Is moro
probable that ho has discovered counterfeit
coin. Deputy Sheriff Tlmmlns stated that
i convict whom ho had taken to the state
prison from this cqiinty had to' 1 him whllo

rho prisoner said ho would tell the officer
ivhcrc It wa located when ho should have

this was the trunk that Wofford's friend

ANOTHER OIL GUSHKIt.
A flno flow of oil'lias been struck In
the old Occidental tunnel In the Santa
Vnc2 ran o , between Monteclto and Car-
| ) lnterla , where for many years public-
spirited men have strained their bank ac
counts and burled their hopes in a vain
[ ( Tort to discover the- fountain head of the
apparently Inexhaustible amount of crude
all that has filled tile sandbcds at Summerland -
land and persists in oozing out of the
ground all alongtlm coast In Santa Darbara
county and In a number of places In the
: hannol miles from shore , nays a Santa liar-
> ara dispatch to the San Francisco Exam
iner. When the report came to town that
* twenty-barrel How of fine light oil and a
conbldorablo quantity of water bad been
struck in the old tunnel it waa almost unl-
versally discredited , because other flatter
ing reports from the same source had always -
| ways proved false. A stockholder wna sent
to the place to Investigate. Ho returned
nnd his report more than corroborated that
of the miners. The tunnel 1s only about
four feet In height nnd the. root nnd Hides
are composed of rough rocks , covered with
grease- . Near the farther end of the tun
nel the roof Is of solid blue sandstone , very
hard and does not leak. In the lower left-
hand corner , where the face and floor of
tl.o tunnel come together , the black water
bolls up from a crevice In the rock with
trcmcndaua force , making the stream whirl
and slush around for some little distance
before It runs smoothly enough for the oil
to rise to the surface. The present inten
tion of the company is to extend the tunnel
entirely through the ledge and then run
lateral chambers for the purpose of openIng -
Ing as tunny largo fissures cs possible. Tlio
fact that this oil Is lighter and liner than
any yet found elsewhere on the const Is
significant nnd will have an Important bearIng -
Ing on future operations. The strange fca-
tu'ro Is that the oil Is found In fissures. Oil
experts nro nt n loss to know what to mnko
of It. but they cannot deny the fact that
the oil is there In endless quantity and ot
an unusually high grade. It Is thought
by some to bo an Indication that the lighter
ell has been forced up by pressure Into the
crevices , and that the main body of oil
Is still lower down. The territory con
trolled by the company covers the oil-bear
ing ledge n distance of over throe miles.
GOLD NKAU OLYMPIA.
Olympla Is In a fair way toward expert-
cueing a genuine mlivlng excitement. For
sjveral weeks , says the Tacoma Lsdgor ,
workman have been blasting out rock from
the cliffs nt the head of the bay , near tha
lower Tumwnter falls. The rock Is n black
basaltic formation , but the last few days
the blasts have reached the Beams of gold-
bearing quartz and the ba.ialt rock Is becoming -
coming sprinkled with pyrites of Iron. It
Is anticipated that as greater depth Is
reached the basalt rock will gradually dis
appear and the formation run Into either n
load of free milling quartz or smelting ore
carrying gold. The samples already obtained
have been examined by experienced mining
men and pronounced from all appearances to
bo tin genuine article. No assays have as
yet ben made , but will bo In a few days
and Olympians are awaiting llio result with
a great deal of Interest. Gold It found In
nearly nil ot the streams flowing Into the
upper sound , and Captain Monroe , an old
mining man , has always claimed that there
was a strata of gold quartz underlying Olym
pla. The rook now being taken from the
Tiimwnler cliffs Is used for bulkheadlng In
connection with th ? harbor improvement ,
hut If the hoptu of Olympians ns to Its gold-
bearing properties are icallzcd It will bo
