THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, SU DAY APRIL 19, 1891.—SIXTEEN PAGE THEIR VENGEANCE GLUTTED.

Kansas City, 14; St. Paul Sioux City, 6; Denve A large and enthusiasti ¢ crowd took a half holiday yesterday to go out to McCormick park and see the Lambs and Brewers try conclusions again, And tho people were not sorry they made the Journey, for they saw the homo team win one of tho most brilliant and exciting con tests over waged in theso parts. It was a ‘leven inninger. The day was again just right for ball play- ing—bright and breezy—and the audienco at tracted 10 the park was a representative And the ladies were thers in bers and transform grand stand futo a beauty Of the 2,000 people on hand every one had gone there to cheer Omakha o 1o victory, and they did it Milwaukeo was royally woll In the words of C olstol us o lily The Browers went into the fight best intentions in the world, but cove 1 that Shanuon's Lambs were only wolves in sheeps' clothing. They not oniy used the stick with effect, but played a fleld- ing gamo that fairly scintilliated. Eiteljorg's pitching was superb, Davis' was very good, too, on un avorage, but Omaha got his range just at the proper times. "Pwitchell, Halligan, Suteliffe, Shas non, Walsh and Eiteljorg ' fuirly plastered theinselvos with dust and glor, o drove in the firstr i and Walsh the third earned good and solid. Lot mo tell you that tbis is ball playing. But the bright particular star of the day was Jimmy Dounelly. That boy has just clambered un hand over hand into poni favor, and the bleachors would dio for him. His phenomenal stops and pickups and light- ning throws were of the indescribable orde Maybe his last achicvement, taking a red-hof liner from Grim's club, w clor, But in the exuberance of raise the Brew- ors must not be They wero in the thickest of the fight from the opening gun to the last dying wail. Petit, Schoch, Dalrymple, Schriver, and in fact the wholé gang, played as if théir lives wero at stake. Ana poor Cush—**He'sin the asylum now.," There was another individual present at the carnage also, and his name was Knight Alonzo Knight, the great. His umpiring was of the order that doscrves commemoration, being as clean and perfect as such a difficult niece of work could be, and as impartial as the sun i to the earth, He is s impregnable to the roarings of Captain Schocti and his oleaginous lieuten- ants as he is to their blandishments or conxings. In a few words, he is an umpire, But the picnic. Twitehell lea off with a strike out and a murmur of incipient discontent oozed through the stands. They were metamorphosed the next instaut, however, into a bubble of de- light by a Safe drivo by Colonel Halligan from Buffalo. Then “Old Cy" Suteliffo was introduced. He took his position at the plato and swung back his telegraph polo like o wood-chopper at a rail-splitting match, Mr. Davies, after taking a good look at him, almed the sphero at his lower vest button, but instead of hitting the mark it flew against Sut's club. The concussion sounded like a peanut sack when you biow it up and set down on it, and whilé' Mr Davies was still wondering what had happened the ball had landed among the loft fild carriages, Halli- gan was home and “Old Cy” was blowing his bellows on bag number two. You ought to have heard the mad s that greeted this exploit. But the fun was short lived. Petit threw McCauley out at first and Grifiin flied to Dungan, It was a profitless inning for the Browers, Burke, Petit and_Schoch zoing out in rapid sccession, Donnelly making o mivaculous ono hand stop of Burke's vicious grounder, and throwing him out at first, Walsh attending to Bobby in a like manner, and Jimmy get- ting in his elegant work a second time on littie Georgio Schoch. In the second Manager Dan went out from pitcher to fiest, but Walsh lined her out for a couble of sacks and another eruption was - minent i the stands, But it didn't erupt worth a continental, for Donuelly hit one to Dungan and the big Californian, by a doft throw, doubied Walsh np with him at third. Ior'the visitors Dalrymple flied out to Halligan, Campion made a single and after hriver's out to Twitchell, Eiteljorg hit Grim a smash with the ball, But neither man got home, for Halligan made one of tho finest catches you ever saw off of Dungan’s long flv. And how happy the people were, Eiteljorg began the third by taking his baso ona jugglo by Mr. Schoch. A sacrifice by Twitchell moved him up ninoty feet, but in attempting to score on another one by Halli- gan hoe was caught at the plate. For the Brewers Davies struck out, and Burke, after being presented with first on balls, Wwas caught trying to steal second, and Petit flied out to McCauley. And the people were happier still, But a change came over their fair dreams in tho fourth, for after retinug the Lambs for a blank, Milwaukee came in and by a little lax playing on Omaha's part scored 1WO runs. Actually, they looked as big as houses to the speciators, for they thought that the azony was over, This is the way they got these tallios. After Schoch had been retired on a pop-u p to Shannon, Dalrymple took his base on ball s and Walsh's fumble sent Cawpion there also, ‘The crowa looked glum, and glummer still when Eiteljorg hit Scuriver and filled tho bases At this critical moment “Old Cy" caught Schriver napping at first, and cut him off: then as the three runners were all between the lines there was one of the funniest fox-aud-geeso chases you ever hoard of, but no good eame of it all. By some hook or crook, after cavorting upand down be. tweon tho bases for sevoral moments, with tho Lambs ull about them, overy Boer Jevker ot to his base without being touched, and the crowd as one man groaned: 4O ! ofi ! oh ! Grim Death right here mada a single, a fit ting climax to the play just made, and both Dalrymple and Campion ran home. Schriver, 100, had the gall to try and got_in, but Do nelly got the ball and came withi an acs of dislocating the big eatcher's neck by the em- phasis with which he put it on him Schrive was awful mad, but there was no h(‘lp for it. Then there was a string of .shirred eggs up 10 the_soventh, when Omaha, amidst an up- roar of wild applause, tiod tho score. What made it 50 all-fired uice was that it was done aftor two hands were out. Here is the story : Donnelly and Eiteljorg were quietly re- tived, then Twitchell made a single and Hal- Jigan drove him home on a three-bagger. 1t was a closo call at the plate, Larry skating in on his ruftled shirt half way from third to the plate: but Mr, Kuight was right there and he cried “safe. The crowa yelled and stamped and screamed, while Captain Schoch and his merry men fairly tore their halr Then the battle waxoed flercer still, and not until the last man was out in tne oleventh inning would it have been safe to bet either way. T was one, o, threa u the tonth for both teams, but in the cleventh there was au ex plosion. Captatn Shannon was the first mau at bat for the White Sox, and with little ceremony b belted out a three-bagger and the crowd yelled and laughed and clapped their hands ws if in wild delirfum, for they knew that snother run meant viotory —sweet, sweet vie- ne, goodly num- 1 the usually forbidding bower of radiance and spped. the game with the they dis. n, Halligan all of them outs You Ynow we are playing Milwaukees, Well, Waish was the nextman up, and “Now, Joo, hit her ont!" was the cry that greeted him from an hundred thros Aud what did Josoy do?

It wns another threessacker, but if you think I'm going to try- to depict the sceno that ensued in the grand stand, you're fooled, that's all But I will say that the crowd went all but | daft it was 50 beautiful to do those nasty Mil waukeans, who had so little regard for our feclings last summer.

PROSPECTING _ON THE “'LEVIATHAN." What Some kittie Development Work Has Bfolight Out— he Lara- lllll"q neonraging Lead Making § veys. [Stafr Correspondence of The Bee.) GoLp Hivr, Carbon County, Wyo., April 15.—However conscientiously a disinterested person might prosecute an investigation of this new mining district ouly a partial descrip- tlon of a few of the claims already located can bo attempted at this time. It would seom Iike doing an injustice to the owners of rich prospects to siuglo out particular propertics as specimens of the camp. Some of those which must be dismissed with a mere men- ton or ignored altogether may yet turn out to be more valuable than others which are now much discussed here and have obtained a certain reputa- ton or notoriety outsiae the camp. Only such persons as have visited Gold Hill during the winter—and it must be borne in mind that that season or the effects of 1t still lingers on, here—can appreciate the disad vantages in trying to measure the importance of the minerul discoveries that have beon made. To say th everything is snowed under gives but a faint idea of the extent to which the elemeuts ave contributed towards the m; ification of the who have tried to study the camp, and how effectually the snow king has guarded the treasures which aro confidently believed to be locked in these bills. But thero is a daty which the representative of a nmewspaper is obli- gated to perform for the public in the way ‘of a plain statement of all that can be seen here. At the risk of depreciating the importance of rich pr pects by withholding publicity as to thel worth us estitated by others, all that can be expected of a visitor here now is to talk avout what has come under bis porsonal ob- servation Only Looked for Gol There is no discrodit attached to a state- | bas a fifty-foot shaft with a twelye locators to part with an lnterost to kl‘flp' themselvos agolng This early no predictions ought to bo haz- arded as to” the probablo character of the camp. But with indicatfons so encouraging as those found in the Leviathun it would be rockless on the part of its owners to ignoro them or to delay for long its development The appronching season will, under the most favorable conditions, be a short one for the sort of work requisito in de ining whether gold or silver will be the predomin ating mineral to bo extracted from the hills, When proper provision has boou made for it the mines that may be developod can | worked all the year around. But what tho owners should first satisfy thomselves about Is as to the kind of workings they have to deal with 5o that machinery can be broughe in before it is too late, While the Loviathan promis way of solving vexed problems the natural location of the Little Giaut or Leviathan No. may afford means for an earlior detormina. tion of the extent and character of the oro bodies in ghbortiood. The Little Giant now has merely a prospect hole on it, ten feet decp. Rock takon out at that depth shows more than a trace of silver, 1t panned out well in gold from tho grass roots down If returns on the rock are not misle ading thero is assuredly gold i paying quantitios As for the Leviathan No., %, that possessos some special advantages for prospoct work Some #00 feet from the shait house of the Leviathan a tunnel has been dviven. The men went in with it twenty-two fect on a northeast and southwosterly “course and th appearance constantly improved, They b been encouraged to continuo work and will undoubtadiy their attention to it when free to suspend prospecting on than, 08 much in the the dovote they aro tho Levia Another Treasure House, Another group of claims that shows uy well lie on the bill above the postofiice. The Laramie has a sixty-foot tunnel which show up a four-foot led farthor it has been driven the more encouraging have boon th indications. Work on the Laramie has been systematically done. The claim extonds 500 feet cast and 1,000 feot wost from whore prospecting bogan. About ono hundred foat bevond the mouth of the tunnel a shaft has been put down ten feet. The evork turncd out 50 well that the tunnel was started and whon thoy are joined there will be a good ooportunity afforded for rapid dovelopmont work he North of the Laramie tunuel, 209 foot is the Little Bonanza, and parailel to it I'hat or thir- toen-foot Good prospects have been Rad all the way down and now the rock looks botter than it s at any previous time.

Some of the early prospec tors here had not had the benefit of much ex- perience in locating leads. In some in- stances they had never seen practical service | in the development of mineral finds, That | these men recognized the value of the sur- faco indications is but another proof of the richness of thew finds. Every one i the party appears to have boen impressed by the belief that if they found any leads worth locating they must be gold-beariug. Gold and gold alone was what they expected to find. So when a piece of float was picked up that returned 2,000 ounces to the ton in silver they took 1t for grantea that it came from somewhere clse.” They hunted for ledges that would prospeet for gold and when such were tfound they wore satisfied. That is only one incident of wany that forms part of the history of the campaign which resulted in the establishment of this distr e, One of the most notabie of the carly loca- tions, judged by the showing so far made, was that of the Loviathan, 1t was struck well up toward the crest of a high hill in the last days of July of last year. The location was made by L, D. Chase, W. I Frank ana P. F. Woods. “They staked off 1,150 feet, in a northeastorly direction from rich outerop- pings and fifty feetto the southwest. The reason they did not take the full 1,500 feet to which they were entitled was because thoy subsequently followed up the lead and traced it along so that they were ablo to locate an- other claim adjoining the Leviathan on the northeast end. Thisis a full claim 600 by 1,500 feet. The name, Little Giant, was given toit and the locaters were Woods, Drake and P. B. Arendell. Afterwards the Leviathan No. 2 was located to the southwest of tho original Leviathan and beginning at _a point fifty fect from the first strike extends 1,500 feet to the southwest. Likely to Find Silver The, These claims are important for reason that there ure evidences rich silver deposits are likely bo found underlying the hill. Al- ready = they prospect high up in sil- ver, although little work hus been done on any of the claims, except in the case of the Leviathan No. 1. ' On thata shaft has been sunl to a depth of 100 feet. On the surface this showed a well defined ledge fully six- teen feet wide. The owners went down on the lead, leaving a streak of quartz four or five feet’ wide to one sid mbe down ton depth of twenty feot, packing pay dirt back of the shaft, which is 4 by 7 foet. Going down on the ledge matter till they had sunk seventy feet, they struck an other streak of quartz. Leaving that to one side, they continued down on an incline with a slope”of two feet in ten. When they reachied a depth 0£100 feet they bogan pros- pecting for the laag!

Save for a out of the L the that to hort/distance all the rock taken iathuy shaft shows rich in gold Whero the wouk (was stobped there were good indeiations of silver. It looks as though carbonates might bg found on the lower lev- els. There may'bd a cessation of work on this claim for a while for it is reported that Chase, one of the.qpiginal locators, has parted with his interest L. G. Davis, who has been a large invésfor here. Chase is known to have been id'‘kgotiation with people who bave been impresbd by the good showing made by the Leufhthun tue dceper the shalt was sunk. This these folks saw for thom- selves. The Otras mining company also has a conditional interest in the claim, By th terms of the bargain made with this company it will be required to prosecute the develop- ment work energetically and provide a mull for the treatment of the ore. Practical Tests to Be Made. Tnterest, therefore, is naturally centered in tho Leviathan, because whatéver the de velopment company propose to do will be do pendent largely on'thoe report hereafter to be made by rm-l)unl men, who will make it their business Lo cauvass the chances of good returus to be made on the investment neces- sary. All that the brave fellows want who have pinued their faith on the future import ance of this camp is to huve the loads worked honestly. If thore is any borrowing done to expose ore bodies to bull the price of clauns, At the surface it Jooked so well that its de- velopment wouid have been pushed could provisions for that work have been made. | But the locators had to quit work on a soven- foot lead without getting one wall, Theroe is a cross lead known as the Jack Pine located 500 feet west of the Laramie tunvel, Suf- ficient, work has not been done on tho Jack Pine to properly estimate the value of tho claim, althouch copper carbonates aro to have been found in the pros. pect shaft. Parallel to the Little Bonanza is the Snow Flake, which in a twenty-foot shaft,showed up promisingly and from which rich rock was taken o Aliof these claims were located by Alex Lute, Domina Poutre and E, J.
