THE TRADERS TAKE A BLUFF | And Doff Thelr Tiles to the Sur- rounding Wenlth of Fuel. A VISIT TO GLEN ROCK'S MINES. The Sights and Scenes of Douglas and Lusk—The “Angel's Home," Where “Everybody Rags" ~Other Incidents, Down in the Coal Mines. Grex Rock, Wyo, April 25,—|Special t Trr Bee]—This place is miles west from Omaha. It is a little mia- ing town of about three hundred inhabitants, Its main support are the Deer Croek coal mines owned by a company of which George W. E. Dorsey is president: E. H. Barnard trensurer and B, J. Barker secretary. The lessce is Henry R. Fry, a very painstaking and capable rentieman whose company we enjoyed since our leaving Norfolk. We ran on the switch to the entrance to the mines at the early hour of 4:30 o'clock in the morn- ing. Our heavy slevpers found some difi- culty in turning out, especially as it was an- pvounced that the air was raw and a heavy white frost covered the ground. The sun, however, was pretty warm and all the lag- gards finally made their appesrance. Each man took either a candle or a lamp, The mine is located in & bluff 300 feet in height, and the coal lies in A VEIN ABOUT NINE FERT THICK and almost on a level with the surface of the ground on the outside. The working dips gradually as it extends under the bluff, though the gradation is so easy as to be scarcely noticeable. The opening is six feet high and about as many wide, For about two hundred feet the tunnel has a roof, sup- ported on heavy timbers. Beyond that dis- tance tnere is a ceiling of coal which re- quires no artificial supports. At a_distance of 400 feet from the entrance the party entered a ‘‘room™ which had be out and was more than two hui length. Radiating from this w leading in all directions. The openings of these, in some instances, were closed with loose rock, showing that the rooms behind them had also been worked out. At inter- vals the air vassages were pointed out by Mr. F and the system of ventilation was explained. It was a simple one, consist- ing of a special entrance—tho ducts above referred to which are much smaller than the drifts—and a shaft which extends to the sur- face of the bluff. The party traversed the whole of the mine. The taller people were COMPELLED TO STOOP during the jeuruey, an attitude to which they had not been habituated and which resulted in some aching backs and necks. Only in one place was water encountered, and there for but a few feet on the floor of the wain drift. The coal when picked is placed in cars each with capacity for a ton, ‘Three of these Toaded cars constitute a train and are drawn from any part of the mine by ucable worked by an engine, They are roiled tothe chute which extends over the track and there the contents are dumped to open cars on a scale beneath. The mine1s one of the best managed in the oountry, and already has turned out a great deal of coal, The company owns eighty acres of the biuffs, and Mr. Fry sa that every inch of those is covered by a vein not less than nine feet in thickne: They have srn\pcclu(l ull over the property and are satis- ed of the fact. Mr. Fry says that in Unitah county he ws of a prospect which has ehown a thickness of coal of 242 feet. ‘The Deer creek mines were opened ‘about two years ago, and have afforded ecmploy- ment al various times since to 250 men. The miners are of all nationalities and as a rule occupy tasty and home-like cottages. They are paid at the rato of 75 cents per ton for mining. The company finds no difficulty in marketing, the fuei béing sold now by three arties in Omaha where it sells at 86 per ton. t sells at the mines for §2. It is claimed that, in some respects, tho coal is better than that'of Rock Springs, and it certainly pos- 8esses qualities which that coal does not. It is more difficult to 1gnite, bat when ignited burns until it is all cousumed. IT MAS VERY LITTLE GAS, and it1s claimed for it that a fire in a cook- stove may be kept over night, after the coal is ignited, by leaving the lids slightly turned and the draught partially open. Next winter the compavy intends to work the mines to the extent of 1,000 tons per da; Twelve mines from Glen Rock, are tne Inez mines, opened about a year ago. The capacity of these is about two hundred tons per day, though only fifty tons are now being mined. The mines are about a mile from the track proper, though a switch runs up to the shaft. There is a similarity between the coal of these and that of the Glen Rock mines, but the former on being exposed to the atwosphere slakes badly. Itis claimed, however, that the more the mines are worked the better the coal becomes, Returning from our trip to the region of dusty diamonds, we reachod Douglas, Wyo., breakfasting at the Valloy house, and many of us waiting three-quarters of an hour for the buxom beauties in attendance to favor us with their attention, DOUGLAS WAS BORN throe years ago, It hasa bright and protty mppearance. The frame structures are shupely, and those of brick are solid, sub- stactial and beautiful. On one of the bluffs nas a handsome brick sehool house, which @ distance dis s many of the foutures of some of the' more ornate residences in Omwaha. Tho streets are 100 feet wide, and of a naturally hard surface, upon which the rain has only o temporary effect. ‘Ihe town depends upon some fine rauches in the neighborbood, the patronage and business of the mines, the granite quarries twenty miles aad the raiirouds for support. = Its i n was attended with a boom which, has departed, and now tho place is ively dull. There is stiil sufiicient business to maintain the 700 inhabitants. In tho early days there were forty-eight saloons, a corresponding number of par- venues who thrive with such surroundings. Now there are but seven saloons aud a dance house, the signs over the door and on the windows of which latter read as fellows “Angel's Home, Everybody Rug— No Babies.” Beer aud whisky sell for 15 cents a glass. The saloons pay #400 licouse. A shave costs you a quarter of a dollar,but a ‘menl at the hotel costs only 30 cents. The twin brother of Heney Bolln, county treas- urer of Douglas is here the senior member of the grocery firm of Holln & Rustatter.

Holwes, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY D iy APRIL president of the Business Men's association of Norfolk. When the major had compli- mented Mr. Holmes on the growth of Nor- folk he asked him what was the population of the town “‘What is the population of Omaba, first?" said Mr. Holmes, “Our population,” said Major Gerecke, ‘‘is about eleven hundred thousan “Omaha_is some larger than Norfolk," said Mr. Holmes. Jur population is a fraction under ninety thousand, isn’t it, Mr, Olney Mr. Olney, an old resident of Norfolk, nodded his head “Do you have a fine climate herel” asked Major Gerecke. “It_is a little too cold for bananas,” said Mr, Holmes, “but we never fail on our orangos.” “T didn’t know that Omaha was supplied with oranges from Norfolk before,” said the major with surprise, “*but I presume you get your orange weather from Omaha.

Johnson, of the Nor- folk'committeo; ‘‘stcamers from Kearney, Sioux City and Council Bluffs,"" **We had an awful accident in the harbor once,” said Mr. John Olney; “the worst I've ever seen on the Elkhorn, and I've lived here over two hundred years—hundreds were drowned.” “How did it happen?” asked Lewis May, president of the Nebraska fish commission, his eyes moistening. “It was this way,” said Mr. Olney. *'Sometime in June, 1642, it my memory does not fail me, the steamship Greek Republic was in the harbor loaded with corn for Hastings and Kearney on the Platte river, a branch of the Elkhorn. Hundreds of our best citizens were on board drinking water and baking pies and cakes, There was Mc- Clary and Reno and Bigelow and Hughes, of the News. Well, suddenly a great storm broke over the vessel. Billows mountain high dashed over us, the rudder was torn off, the masts fell, the waters roared in torrents through the scuppers, and then, all of a sudden the ship trembled, settled, lunged forwurd and sank out of sight in_twenty-one )m homs of water—every soul going down on her." “How did you escape?” Omabhaif *‘Didn’t escape, I went down with the rest,” said Mr. Olney as the tears streamed dow:l nis chc(\ks‘.. asked a dozen . .

Fowrr MgeApe, Dak.,, April 26.—[Special Telegram to Tng Beg.]—The Omaha board of trade was welcomed ina 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 at this place, where €laborate preparations had been made by Colonel Mizner, the commandant of the Fort, entertainment of the purty. The day was most _beautiful and the ten companies sta- tioned at the post, turned out, 600 strpng, making an imposing appearancs. In the line were six troops of cavalry and four of in- fantry. The gencral parade was followed by an infantry batallion drill and cavalry mancuvers, which were new to many of the visitors and greatly appreciated. They left Sturgis, this afterncon, for Spoorfish, White- wood and Deadwood, in visiting which vlaces three days will be consumed, the trip being made in Jim Stephenson’s coach2s, The excursionists will return to their train at Sturgis, Monday next. At Deadwood, Deanwoon, Dak., April 26, pecial Tele- gram to the Bre.|—Two tally-ho coaches have just arrived with the Omaha board of trade. They were enthusiastically received.

Curve it with Warner's Log Cabin Cough and Con- sumption Remedy, old-fashioned, reliable, grandmother’s cure, THE KAU It Was Made for the Bencfit of a Friendly Bank, A bill of sale for 10,283 was filed with county Clerk Lioche yes for the Omaha National Dayis & Reese, the cigar merchants mortgage for §5,500. In it this firm trans- fers to the bank all of its stock and store fixtures at No. 207.South Bifteonth street. An employe of the bank was placed in charge and, with Dave Kauffman, continued to con- duct the husiness us though nothing had happened. Messrs. Davis and Rees and man were called upon and ask for their version of the affair. They had all been ud during the night, and, feeling indisposed referred the reporter t their attorney, R. S. Ervin. Mr. Ervin was found at his room in the Ramge buildine, *In February, 1888, said he, “'E. P, Davis, Samuel Rees and Levi Kauffman found themselves sureties for Kauffmuan Bros. in Jhe sum of $28,000, and also found the firm financially embarrassed and una- ble to meet its obligations, Kaufr man Bros. made a transfer of all their per- sonal property anda real estate to these sure- tios to secure them. Kauftman, Rees & Davis took charge of the business and con- ducted it up to the present time, They ex- vected to be able 1o pay all indebtedness, but found the interest on the debts to be so great and creditors so pressing that they conldn’t stand the pressure, The cigar storo on Kif- teenth street proved to be a paying invest ment if free from incumorances, but it could not stand the strain laid upon it. After running the business for a year, Messrs. Kauffman, Davis & Rees found themselves indebted to the Omana National $10,000. Thoy nad paid $15,000 of the ola debts, and would have been able to pay all if more time hud boen given them, To pro- tect themselves and the Omaha National banks, which Lad befriended them, they made a transfer of the personal property and real estato turned over to them by Kauffman Bros, to that bank and to the state National bank by first and second mortgages respectively The property will pay the cluim of these two institutions. All porsanal dabts—that s, all debts made by Kauffman, Davis & Rees since the first transfer from Kauffinan Bros. -will be paid on presentation to Mr. Itces. Tho affair does not affect tho Rees Printing company or the Davis & Cowgill iron works." Such was the statement of Mr, torney for Messrs, Kauffman, Davis & Rees. The reporter also called upon Cashior Wallaca, of the Omaha National, but he re- fused to say anything concerning the affair, Mr. Da ascribes his troubles to David Kuaufman's unfortunate speculations in reaity, Other banks and business houses are also affected, i Kaufr- vin, at- Waterworks Oflicers. Mr, W. H. Hall, assistant manager of the waterworks company, suys that the en- nouncemeut that Capiain Ruger has been appuinted . manager of the local company here is premature. He has been offered the position, but has not yet accepted it. Cap. tain Ruger has for the past six months been chief engineor at the Floronce plant. It is rumored thut some chunges are likely to be made in the offices of the company, but Mr, Hall deuies this report. THE MOTOR WILL OROSS, To Do S0 Will Oost Several Thousands In Hard Cash, Complying with the ordinancs recently passed by the city council and duly approved by his honor, the mayor, Dr. Mercer and J. J. Young Thursday drove down to the hoad- quarters of the Union Pacific behind Dr, Moroer's bay ponies, to obtain the acquies- cence of the company in the permission grantea the motor line to cross the Eleventn and Sixteenth street viaducts. They con- sidered it only a matter of form, and antici- pated no trouble in obtaining their object. Consider their surprise then, when they were informed by Vico-Presidont Holcomb that the company held that the motor line was liuble to its proportionate share of the original cost of these viaducts, which would be §23,000. This was somothing of a surprise party to the officers of the motor company, and for a few hours there was considerable rustling amongst them, Late in the afternoon three telegrams were received by Mr. Holcombe—ail from Boston. One was from Fred L. Ames, the second from Charles Francis Adams, and the third from Sidney Dillon, all directors of the Union Pacific. There were in answer to dispatohes sent him by J. H. Millard, of this city, stock- bolder in the motor line and director of the Union Pacific, and instructed Mr. Holcombe to acquiesco in the provisions of the city ordinance, which grants to the motor com- pany permission to cross the viaducts at an annual rental of §5. Mr, Holcombe signed a written permit. The motor company will at once extend its lines across the viaduct. From this point it will build to Vinton street, where it will rest at prasent. But the project and enter- prise of the motor company. does mot stop ere. Thursday afternoon at the oonfer- ence the matter of crossing tho Union Pacific bridge to Council Bluffs was talked over. Nothing definite was arrived at. The propo- sition in the latter respect, as considered yesterday, was for the running of motor cars over the the bridge, converting the present road bed and grade into a graded line for the motor company until a point was reached near the transfer depot. At this point tne circuit turns and the motor lines connect with the dummy tracks, and from the con- necting point the Union Pacific tracks on Union avenue are to be converted into motor tracks, thereby making the line to the Broaa- way depot complete. An official of the Uniou Pacific stated to-day that such had been talked over and that in all probability it would e carried into effect. Charged With Begging. “Johnny” Morrison was arrested last night, charged with bogging on the stroet. It goes without saying that if Morrison was begging it was because he failed to find any valuables 100se in his rounds. His vacations from tho county jail, where he is on the sneak thief list, rarely extend over a week ata time, ——— MORTUARY. Lizzie Geis, the thirteon-year-old daughtor of Mr. and Mrs. Geis, Deadwood, Dak., died on last Monday, after a long and lingering sickness.

We would all like 1o seo General Brisbin at the head of the regiment. Theroe are quite a number of other rumors afloat, but they are too absurd to receive any attention, for your ordinary soldier is an im- aginative creature, and, between his guards or fatigue, keeps his brains busy moving his regiment to the best posts in tne division and changing the whole regimental adminis- tration. As it now stands, Colonel Tilford (it is rumored) is a regular bugboar, a hard worker, a martinet, hard on prisoners, very sanctimonious, and stirs up all the depari ments vigorously; in fact, it is supposed he never sleeps, but keeps continually planning work for the imaginutive sons of Mars. The work of completing the new post is progressing vigorously under the direction of the temporary commander, General Bris- bin, A new system of sewaes and water pipes are being laid, and a water tower is eing erected. Lieutenant Mercer and family left here, Wednesday evening, for their new post, Nio: brara. It is ramored that Mercer endeavored to make a transfer with Lieutenant Terr which would send Terrett to Niobrara in: stead of himself, but for some reason it foll through. It is presumed the authorities did not_think it “‘conducive to the good of tho service.' Dress parades aro now the order of the v, and after the warrior bold abandons his pickaxe and shovel at 4:30 o'clock p. m. (fatigue call), he hies him to his quarters, whero he dons his war togs, and, tired and disgusted turns out for parade, and mentally curses the man who invented quartermastor’s labor for the enlisted man, for show me the individual who, having 'worked all day digging ditches, doing carpenter work, pounding iron in the blacksmith's sho, painting buildings, wrestling with heavy packages in the quartermaster's and com- missary storchouses, driving muies or dog robbing for an ofticer (although, by the way, this dog robbing, which means doing s vant's work for an officer, is the easicst of all), can turn to with’ any spirit of pride, clean his accourtrements and take any in: terest in his proner duties. It is protty ncarly 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. 1t is cortainly wonderful what patienco and persistont attention to business will ac- complish. The Ninth cavalry, one year ago, had one of the worst bands in the arm y, but under the untiring instructions of Prof. James Watters, who at that timo took them 1889 in_hand, they have slowly but surely im- proved until to-day it is a pleasure to listen to their rendering of some n?'ho most Jifl cult pieces, as the Omaha board of trade can bear witnoss, they having boen serenadod for over half an hour during their sojourn here Wednesday. A military post is always @ great news- paper reading centre, and wo are happy to sny that Tae Ber is moro sought after than any other paper at mail time.
