THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, FRIDAY new mining camps, “The best is yot to be found.” But it can safely be said of the hundreds who have visi fold Hill' since it sprang into notoriety and have seen for themselves what there is here, not a n will fail to re. turn if it is in his power. It taust be borne in mind that visitors to the camp have not +been attracted through idie curiosity. A man wouldt't come here for pleasure, nor for his health, in the winter at any rate. The dificuities encountered in getting _in during the past season have been great. But that basn't deterred hundreds from seeing for themselves what there is here, although everybody has been warned beforehand of the annoyance, not to say danger, that has at- tended a trip up to the present time. Dangerous to Describe. Tt would bo rockless for anybody who has any reputation as a Judgo of such matters to attempt to describe the formation of the Gola Hill minoral belt. Some of the ploneer loca- tors have a certain knowledgo of geology and mineralogy. They have been working on theory which may or may not be correct. In | some instances flaws can be picked with the premises from which they reason. It is not unlikely that they have made use of incovrect terms in describing to others the formation of the hills from which rich ore has been ex- tracted. In fact it looks as though some work done this winter n by following out what is called in sporting parlance, a system. 1t may turn out that this was all wrong, or perhaps only partially so. Competent judie declare that such is the case. In that event of course those who have been forced to form a judgment on what they see in shafts and tinnels might come wide of the truth were they toattempt to reason from the faulty logle of somebody else, At present, with the surface rock covered by a compact mass of snow eight feet deep, it is next 1o impossible to form a judgment that can be of any benefit to anybody What the Shafts Show. shafts and tunnels that been been kept open—and there not more than hulf o i of them-—there is indisputable proof that large ore bodies have been struck Frbm pannings, ussays and tests of other kinds, roturns on oro have been made that deal with five nd even six figures. Picked specimens are fairly bewildering in their richness, These may turn out to bo nothing more than chromos to the lucky owners of the lead from which they wer taken out and incidentally an advertisement for the camp, But it does not matte whether or not this particular vein pincnes out so far as the fame of the camp is con- cerned “Therc is enough ore in sight and on the dumps of a dozen claims 0 justity the imme diate ercction of a stamp mill. Ono will be rted i within o week by way of Rawling This of course will bo a help to the district, but tho stamps are few and of light weight. What is needed is big custom mill. Ownors of tho TLeviathian, which is the only claim in the camp that has yet anywhere near obtained the importance of a mine, seriously contemplates putting up a mill of the That would be great, good luck to the entire district, should the'plan be car- ricd out. With a shaft already sunk to a depth of 100 feet, work on the Leviathan would be pushed and some of the knotty problems of the camp would be solved. After visiting Gold Hill any one od in mining, especially in the p work of the development of a mine, has had a wood mental quid to chew on. There is gold there beyond question and a good deal of it The chances are about even, though that there is more silver than gold and perhaps there may turn out to be coppor in greater abundance than either of the other minerals, It 18 a Poor Man's Camp. Right now Gold Hill is a poor man's camp. Those who own claims can afford to refuse to sell for any sum that anybody would feel justified in paying for a mere prospect. There have been some sales made aircady. Undoubtedly the only thing that influenced the owners to part with claims was the demands incident to diro necessity and the urgency for making a raise for agrub stake. One mun ald to have bragged of selling £330 worth of snow drifts. Ho couldn’t have known much about what he was selling, for the locations were mainly made in the snow. Purchases such as theso are visky sort of business in Gold Hill, The ground is t0o rich to permit the indis- criminate staking off of claims 1,500x600 or even 100 feet on tho possibility "of finding something afterwards, The hardy boys who have endured this terrible winter propose to pin everybody down to a’strict compliance to the mining laws. Unless & man has found a lead o location notice don’t go and the grouna is apt to be {umped or oncroached upon by tho ono_ who 5 lucky enough to find some evidence suffi- cient to base a title to mineral land on, It will pay _any man to develop his own claim if it is worth anything at all. The ore 15 free-milling and will yield a good re- turn, Where the lead is followed down, enough pay rock ought to be taken out without the use of machinery to support the owner whilo at work and furnish capital for Aurther and systomatic development. Some predict that water will handicap work in 1ho shafts when the snow begins to melt, Huch fears may be realized, but it is quite probable that many ot the' shafts will stay idry to a considerable depth, Kven should he water get in, that would be no excuse for selling out, because after tho assess- ent work 'is done the claims ald lie 1dle till next winter when fpreparations could be made for sinking hufts. Iu the meantime a miner could nake ood wages by working in the gulches, which are kuowu to be fuli of gold, b Whero capital has boen enlistod in prop- Pc’ny it is cortain that a goodly amount of de- In the few elopment work will be done.” This will give [prospectors an opportunity to find emplo; uent in the camp and lay in stores against the timo when they want to do some dovelop- ment themselves, ! From a Protective Standpoint. Now to the practical part of all this excite- meut. In the immediate vicinity of the pres- ent Gold Hill group of claims most of the round has been taken up, But only a com- aratively small section has s yet been thoroughly prospected. All the adjacent coun- try will bo gane over, with us good prospects for new strikes as any yet made. Townsites Jiave alrcady boon surveyed, but v is a_do- batable question as to which, if any of them, ‘will be the nucleus for a settiemeént of any considerale sizo. For the present Gold Hill, as it is called, is most likely to be the camp ‘which will be the neadquarters of the new comers. But prospectors will strike out in every direction, for the indications elsewhere ®re good enough to justify a careful search for other big mineral deposits. Gold Hill lies in the chain of mountains called the Medicine Bow range, which, be ginning with Elk mountain, trends away in © southerly direction towards the Colorado Jine. [t exact location is township 16 yorth, range S0 west, and it lies ebout two and a half miles south of the iourth standard parallel, north Just behind the hill looms up the snow ran which towers 1,000 to 1,500 feet above i 'he ligher range serves as a sort of Larrier to the camp on ‘all sides save the western sl “There are natural roads load- iz 1nto the district along ‘the wator ways bt flow from the norshern and southern widos During the winter the canons through waich flow the North and South Brush «veeks, as thoy are called, are for a part of e distaneo Lmpassible for the snow. with which they aro choked.

The story of the disastrous start made by the contractor who undertook to put through the Laramie_road has already been told in Tir Bee. With an outfit of twenty-four men he began work on the heavy snow. A storm came up and blinded by the snow and suffer ing great privations the men strock. They were not cqual to the task and throwing away part of his stores, the contractor had to turn back to Laramie. ‘That happoned only last weck, Word has been sent here from Laramie that the road would be surely cut | through before long, Persistence of Laramie.

Spocial Tele- gram to Tne Brk.]—A six-horse Concord conch, with ton passengers, arrived from Rowlins yesterday over the Rawlins and Saratoga road to Gold Hill, making the trip in a 1ittle more thun five hours. Tho pass gers report the road in goodl conaition. There are two outfits now at work on this road, grading and bridging, ana iv will be put in first-class shape before they quit. The conch loft for Rawlins ngain today avith about the same bumber of passengers. It will be run every other day until May 1, when a daily coach each way will be put on, The equipment is complete, and the trip s quickly and comfortably made, The rig driven in here is conceded by old stage men to be the finest turn out they ever saw. V. C. Ferguson & Co. will have charge of the stage line from here to Gold Hill and _the accommodations will be fully upto requirements in every way, The Rawlins stage line gives Saratoga two good routes from the railvoad. It is con- ceded by all the old timers, familiar with the topography of the country, that Saratoga has theonly practicablo road 'to the new mines. Itis reported here that all the freight now lying at Carbon, some fifty thousand pounas, awaiting transportation to Gold Hil), will be shipped to Rawlins or Fart Steele and be taken in over tho Saratoga road. Judge Merrill, Dr. J. E. Osborne, Hon. John €, Dwyer, J. G. Rankin and others from Rawlins wero the guests of the Gold Hill house today. A stock com- any, composed of Rawlins ‘and Saratoga business men, is being formed to build a tele- graph lino from this place to Gold Hill. The line from Saratoga to Fort Steelo will be pur- clased and put in first-class condition, and the line is to be in opevation by May 15, J. C.

Kaxsas Ciry, Mo, April Jo.—It was 10 o'clock before the wostern states’ congress assembled this morning. James Peabody of Chicogo, read a paper on “Rallroad Pools.” He smid it was not so much low rates that shippers wanted, but stable rates, As tend- | ing to obtain stable rates the speaker dorsed the interstate commerce commission. General Blair of Kansas, read a per on “Transportation as Affecting Commerce and Financ He said the government ought to provide as much money as neces- sary to earry on the country’s business and then leavoe the question of finance alone. In like maunner the government ought also to keep its hands off the commerce and trans- portation and let them be governed by natu- ral laws, A telegram from the president of the ex- ecutive committee of the chamber of com- merce of the stata of New York was read. It asked permission to call the atten- tion of con to the late action of the chamber regarding the improvement of the Mississippi river, and particularly the grave importance of protecting the ad Jacent section from the terrible casioned by the periodical overflows of the nver. William £, Senepp, president of the Whole sale Growers' association of St. Louis, spoke on ‘“Trausportation.’” He thought the fed- eral government should contro! the traftic of railronds just as it now controls interstato trafic He wanted would give the present commission power to enforca its deg s Senator Cochran of Missouri thought the state and foderal government ought to keey their hands off and permit the railroads to do their best, John L.

Dietrichs of Hastings, Neb,, read a paper on * isportation’? support of a resolution introducea by him. The resolu- tion provided t the interstate commerce commission should have supervision and lim- ited control of railroads, State Senator Switzler of Nebraska hoped this question of transportution was the tost importaut hefore th ngress, He advised the congress to consider the matter thor- oughly and attempt to propose a remedy was well to air grievances, but it was better to provide a remedy. He had no remedy suguest, but out of all the remedies proposed in 1!\\" past be believed one remedy could be found. Jay L. Torrey of St. Louis read a paper on “‘Uniform Commercial Laws,” and de- voted particular attention to the subject of ankrupt law. Torrey explained the pro- visions of the Torrey bankruptey bill and promised that it would be before the next ongress with the endorsement of commer- cial bodies all over the country. Hon. A. J. Warner of Obio addressed the congress on “Relation of Money to Bank Credits,” — There should be a limit to bank credits. tate banks no longer had the power to issue money, but they created money by the issu- ance of bank credits. Since they arrogated to themselves the function of a stato they should come under state supervision. At present bank credits in proportion to the actual mouey in the banks was as from five toseven to one. It was out of this unsub- stantial stracture of crodiv money, created out of nothing, that every panie that was known had had a beginning. It should be restricted to 83 of credit to 81 of actual money. Panics would then be impossible. ‘Take a thousand millions from the upper story of our top heavy system of bank cred- its and broaden tne foundation of our system by adding a thousand million or even five hundred million to the real money of either gold, silver or puper and a panic would be impossible. Which should it be, a basis of gold that is coustantly narrowing and its production diminishing, coupled with the over-expand- ing system of bank credit, a currency subject to expansion and collapse'ns the interests or the cupidity of the banks may dictate, or less credit and inore actual money in which coufi- dence was never wanting? Judge R. M. Widner of Los Angeles, Cala., read a paperon the *“National Money Sys- ulating medium must_be increased, said Widner, to meet the growth of population or the busingssof the country must killed off until it is within the compass of the present circulation. There is not enough money in circulation and want of money has cavséd a stringency in the money markets. Freo coinage would not accomplish the do- sired results, for the population was increas- ing too fast. The great objection w free coinage was that tho an- nual product of say $i6,000,000 worth when = coined represented 864,000,000 ora profit_of $18,000,000 to a few silver pro- ducers, ‘That was of too great local benefit to be of any benefit to the wholo people. The farmers alliance scheme of loaning money at alow rate of interest secured by land was too local and partisan to be acceptable. Widner would have a system based upon tho authority of the people, backed by the wealth of the people, and administercd for the benefit of the whole population, using all gold and all silver, supplementing' their use by a legal issue of from 20 to $25 per capita. Inflation, constitutional repudiation and tho threatened chango of gold dollars as & measure of value were dangers to be con- tended against. In ordoer to overcome these “aangers and @ve his system stability he proposed an amendment to the constitution of the United States providing for a national currency circulating medium to the amount of 20 por capita, as shown by tho census of 15%) and each succeeding census, for which when re- quired, the resources, property, and faith of the nation are pledged, for which redemp- tion congress, by a two-thirds vote of each house, may provide for the collection of gov ernment nus for taxes in gold and silver coin, currency, with the gold and silver coin 'of the United States of the present weight and tineness (the gold dollar being the standard unit of value) and such notes as may be issued in licu of gold or silver coin and in bullion beld exclusively for redemption thereof, shall constitute the only logal mone of the United Su s.

In the ening a reception was tendered the delegates at the Commercial club. 1.

Then Lawrence Twitchell stepped forward. The ex-Philadeiphian immediately took a lik- ing to him and made him a present of a base on balls, “Over the fence means a home run, don't it queried Jocko Halligan to Umpire Knight as he tapped the plate with his club. “Thav’s what it does,” reptied Alonzo, and then the ball and bat collided. There was a loud report and a little smoko, and the ball soared away out over Mr. Pettit’s head and the sades too, and the first home run of son was scored. From this on until October Adam_ Morrell will lather and _fondle and scrape Mr. Halli- wan’s Grecian chin for nothing. Of course the brilliant strike awoke the dormaut fives of enthusiasm and the 1,000 happy souls on the bleachors and in 'the stands made the welkin ring. 1 think it was the welkin, but it may have been the brass in Gussio Alberts’ cheel, but something rang any way. That was all, but wasn’t it nice? Sutcliffe went out to Vick and McCauley to Burke and the Brewers hove to. Larry made a start by giving Burke his base; then Bob Petit got in a neat lttle bunt, which landed him safe and sent Barke like a rabbit to third. Schoch, who works his jaw as fluently as of old, was the next batter, He made a wild lunge of two, then popped a high one, which after a hard backward run McCauley allowed to escape, and Burke came home, Péttit reached third and Schoch first. Pettii, however, in the meantime had stolen third. Dalrymple, old Abner, who used to play three-old-cat' with General Putnam, Benedict Arnold and the other boys on the commons at Boston over one hundred years ago, ambled to the plate, with a watch-me-bring-"em-in air. But the best he could do was to pop one up to Shannon. Campion_also hit a fly, and it had never said a word to him, but Grifiin squeezed it, and Camp joinea Dal on the mourners’ bench, Schriver and his rosy mug went to first on four wide ones, and Girim swiped her for a double, and Pettit and Schoch came home, and the smilo that danced a mazurka over Chiurlie Cushman’s handsome phiz made everybody sick. But that wasn't all, hus streak of gencrosity and gave Gussie Al- bert his buse, and Vickery, by a beautiful upper cut, sent the horse hide where Grim Lad placed it, and all three of the runners came home, Tt was getting serious, and if Burke hadn't sent a nice easy one to Griftin there's no tell- ing wh it might have happened. "Phis inning seemed to knock all the Wor- cester sauce out of Shannon’s Lambs,and the grand stand and bleachdrs were so still you could have heard a gumairop. Dad Clarke had his (swogo eye with him, and took first ou balls i a starter in the sec: ond, but that was alj it amounted to, for Grihin, Walsk and Dounelly were retired in quick succession. For the Blow-'em-offs, Walsh threw Petit out and Griftin atteadollto Captain Schoch, and it looked like an Baster egg. Butas the old woman said, “looks is de- cewvin,” Uncle Abner laced oyt a single and stole scond. ‘Then Camplon dupticated the trick, hich put uncle on third, both trotting in on Schriver's safe drive.
