This was aoticipated by those familiar with the Jocality. Provision had been made by those ‘who wintered there for a cessation of devel- opment work for a short pericd while the deep snow banks were meltiug.

Old pros- ager to be at ited them- mp and then eld of opera- xtensive Gold in Hill district. It is known that some of these experienced men have already been rewarded by locating good claims on the hills which are bare of suow, It would not be surprising to hear that rich strikes had been made on someof these claims for it is known that many samples of rock ha q Within the past fow weelk vod in Saratoga who were eaded for the Gold Hill camp after getting an outfit together they struck out in an entirely different direction. From hints dropped by one of these mysterious visitors a clue to the motives. of others may be evolved. It seems that after the gold excite- ment of Hahn’s Peak a number of years ago, some of the men who were attracted there scattered out over the mountains and put in rt of a season in prospecting the Sierra adre and Medicine Bow ranges which sur- round the uoper Platte valley. As tho story goes favorable indications .Of ~mineral "were found in_ abundance. Nothing short of a regular bonanza seems to have been able to satisfy this class. They aporeciated the fact at moderately cod finds in a region that was so inaccess le as that was then did not possess much value to a poor man. But now, with the prospect of the whole district being speedily opened up and with such good facilities for getting into and out of it and a base of sup- {:ueuoconvenlenu_v nigh, these old finds ave attained a certain valve. That stimu- lates the hunt for old prospects. Undoubtedly work will be done on many such locatious during the present season. Reference bas already been made in Tie BEE to the claims owned by Messrs. Wil- liams, Jones and Heather, located on the Tange on the west side of the Platte valley and for which United States patents have been obtained. They bave been worked for & numher of years and developed to such An extent as to indicate that there is a rich silver belt underlying the mountains such as many expect will'in time be struck in the Gold Hill eamp, On oneof their claims in particular—the Yankee Jack—rich gold pros- < Pects were nbtained from surface rock. This \‘:x from a three-foot vein of decomposed which assayed eighty ounces in gold, or §1,600 to the ton. The gold-bearing sur- face rock is not unlike that found on Gold Hill. After sinking only three or four feet this lead carried a black ore which ran 700 ounces in silver to the ton. The lead widened out to thirteen feet when a depth of 135 feet had been reachied. Then a cross section was run and the vein averaged thirteen ounces in silver to the ton on everything. It is worthy of mention that the Yankee Jack's ore at the point where the gold ran out and the silver became strong was similar 1o that found in the Leviathan shaft in the Gold Hill camp at a depth of 100 feet. Al- though no such high assays bave been ob- tained on the Leviathan, thero are indica- tions that its ore will run to silver. Develop- ment to a greater extent has been done on the Leviathan than on any other claim in the camp, but work has been temporarily sus- peaded on it on account of water. But from what has been noticed in the Yankee Jack there is reason to believe that some of the elaims on Gold Hill will turn out similarly to that. A Skeleton Mine. The Yankee Jack is located right on the jummit of the coutinental divide at the ead of Jack creek, and twenty-five miles southwest of Saratoga. While " the water from the miue flows to the Atlantic slopo, an extension of the Yankee Jack lies over on thg Pacitie slope. Southeast of the Yankee Jaci five miles, between Jack creek and the north Tork of Spring creek, is anotber claim owned by the same men which_presents some culiar features. The Galena, as it is called, 1s located on a belt which conies through the mountains. On top galena was shown on a well defined lead ten to twelve feet in width, which in places widened out to fifty feet. A foot under ground all the mineral bad_disap- peared, and after going down ten feet no evidences of it were found except specks of galena and copper in the solid rock. “The walls are well detined and thero are three different veins which would scem to icate that there ought to be found a min- eral-bearing vein on each side of the wall and one in the middle, These veins ry from one to three feet in width, but it is only a ekeleton of a mine. The rock is honey combed and in places has the appearance of cinder, ‘There are crystals that resemble those of a soda formation and where the mineral has appeared to break down oceur marks of cubes and octohedrons which lead would take. tors ef this freak sank® ninety feet on the lead and then went down to tha foot of the hill and followed in on tho for a distance of 100 feet, Here the same general characteristics were observed. The skeleton ‘was located in 1878 but active work on it was bandoned four years ugo. It may be re- sumed again during the present season. Aswde from being @ geological curiosity, the Galena may turn out to play an import. sut part in mining operations in that section, 1t has been suggested that the missing min- erai or the deposit which might be expected 10 be found iu that formation has been ex- tracted by the action of hot water strongly fmpregnated with soda. The famous hot springs of Saratoga are of such a character snd are located on the same velt along which the skeleton lead ru Ouly a short dis- tance away from the Galena steam pours up — Yhrough the earth in cold weather, furnish- g additional proof of the presence of other springs in the vicinity. It the theory as ' the extraction of the mineral, as has been intimated, 1s the cor- rect oue, then there is good reason to believe that either silver carbonates or sulphates be discovered in the neigbborhood. would have such an effect oa the forms of silver referred to. Monster Gold Leads. Both on the Atlantic and lacific slopes of Ahe continental divide are good surface fndi- cations of mineral in well defined leads. On the Roaring Fork, which flows into the nake river oo the Pacitic side, is dne huge *ad which is traceable for miles. For a long Mistance 1t averages twenty-five W hurty yards in width. It has been discussed more I A3 & curfosity than as possessing any real value. While it has always been mnniod as 8 low grade silver ore, it is likely to turn out to be rich in gold. A piece of rock knocked off on the surface I found by assay to run $10 in pold to the ton oesides two ounces in sil- ver. No offort has ever beeu made to exploit any of these big leads Around Battle lake, also on the Pacific slope. are encouraging prospects which no- body has ever taken pains to investigate. The lake is evidently a relio of the glacial age and is held by the last morraine. It is about two miles down from the top of the divide under the shadow of the bighest peak 10 the ranges, which towers upward to an elevation of 11,700 feet. Battue lake is a beautiful sheet of water 700 yards long and 200 to 300 yards wide and very deep. Spurs which run out from the range and hem in tbe lake are covered with quartz and good prospects are reported to have beea found thers. Beiow the lake in the park, a milo and a balf away, the dirt from the grass oots down pans out wel These are some of the many loealities which prospectors are likely to seek during the present season and from which reports of rich strikes may come.

Caxis, - JUDICIAL OPINIONS Given in a Number of Cases in the Dis- trict Court. Most of the judges spent the day in hand- ing down decisi and calling their dockets. In thd case of Olsen against Ward, Judge ell overruled the motion for a new The same decision was rendereq, in the case of William Yohe,the expert whittler against the kiden Musee, The motion for arew trial was overruled in the case of Riley & Dillon agaiust Stortz & Iler. On the trial of this cause it was n that while Pete Woodmansee was ng a saloon the license was issued to Stortz & ller. Goods were sold to Wood- mansee and Stortz & Iler refused to pay for the same. Judgments were sendered against the defendants,after which they moved for a new trial on the ground that the judgments should have beeu against \Woodmansee, In Boggs & Hill against the city the de- murrer to the petition was overruled and the defenaant given thirty days in which to an- swer. In this case the city took certain iands and lots in the evtension of a street. Ap- praisers were appointed and the damages as- sessed at $4,000 On February 25, 1590, the plaintiffs waived the payment in order to give the city time to assess the damages against tha abutting property and collect the same. In May 1870 the council confirmed the re- port of the appraisers but failed to make the collection. Boggs & Hill sued for the amount. The city attorney demurred to tho vetition, alleging that as the plaintiffs had waived payment at the time, they must abide the time or bring maudamus ceedings. In rendering the de the judge neld that if toe plaintiff did the payment the city mustuse due diligence in making its assessment and collecting the tax. Betore Judge Davis in the case of the Bohn sash and door company against Joseph T. Hines the application for a receiver was granted ana tke bond fixed at $5,000. Juage Wakeley rendered his decision in the case of Howard & Co. against the Goodrich Hall association. The action was dismissed aud plaintiffs giveu ten days in which to file an amended petition. Howard & Co. held nfty shares of the Goodrich Hall asso- ciation stock. They conducted a meat market in one of the store rooms of the building, and as they owed a large amount of reut, they offered to credit_the same upon their shaves of stock. The other stockholders objected and suit was brought. The court held thata s holder caunot pay his debts to the association by having the amount he owes credited on stock that he owns. Judgze Doane heard the arzuments in the case in which Herman Kountze applied for a receiver to take charge of the affairs of the panorama of the “Battle of Gettysburg." He denied the application, stating that it would be hard to find a parson who would be willing to run the plan®. It would be like a receiver running a circus. The injunction restraining the removal or disposition of the pictures was granted and the owners ot the building instructea to make repairs upon the property and, as rapidly as possible, pay the proceeds of the entertamments over to the creditors. HOPE FOR THE SOLDIER. He May Be Better Cared for When ‘Nounded He-eafter. Dr. Bache, surgeon of the department of the Platte, returned yesterday from New York City, where he spent two mouths as a. member of the board of medical examiners and also as a member of the board appointed to revise the supply table and the medical corps equipment for field use, Dr. Bache said last night to Tz Ber that the board had apoointed five of the appli- cants examined. About thirty young pbysi- ciaus presented themselves for ‘examination, but many of them were physically incapaols of passing muster. There were seventeen vacaucies to be filled, so there are twelve places yet vacant, Tne board appointed to revise the fleld equipment for the hospital corps will recom- mend some decided improvements in the field equipment. The use of pack panniers for medical and surgical equipment will be rec- ommended, aud a personal equipment of a surgical and medical case for each man in the hospital corps will also be recommended. The insufficiency of the hospital corps equipment has long been realized by United States army surgeons, Dr. Bache found this the case last winter at Piue Ridge, at the time of the Wounded Knee fight. The regulations recommeaded by the board will supply a case of plain surgical instru- ments and medicines for each man in the hospital corps. to be carried as a knapsack over the shoulders when in the field. In cases of emergency each man will then be enabled to becowe a full fledged surgeon for the im- mediate relief of the wounded. They are all trained men, so that where it is necessary they can dress a wound, temporarily, with- out’the assistance of one of the surgeons. e e b It Was a Mistake. Arrona, Neb., May 21.~To the Editor of Tur Bee: Your correspondeut, in speaking of the soldiers’ home, says: “A small war cloud bas arisen between the building board and the visiting board.” For the benefit of those who desire to koow the facts please say that this is a mistake. I have beeu sec- relary of the visiting board since the organi- zatiou of the home, aud have been present st every meeting of the board, and there has never been the slightest contflict botween the two sets of officials. The vouchers referred t0 required the approval of the board of pub- lic lauds and buildings, and the visiting board made not the slightest objection. Laxa A, Bare Secretary V. aud E. B,B.uds."li.

Third parties Ohio State Journal (rep.): These seeth- ing elements of unrest and discontent will unsettle and disturb all political calcu- lations until after the presidential election of 18@2; then they will disappear as know- nothingism, greenbackism and fiatism have disappeared iv the past. New York Times: The forces will fly apart and there will be no cohesion in the third party. The ious elements that were to compose it will fail to coalesce, and in the polit; agitation of next year thev will be absorbed again in the political parties from which they have revolted. Indianapolis Journal (rep.): What with the farmers’ alliance, citizens’ alliance, peo- ple's party, Kuights of Lavor, mdustrial alliance, Christian socialists, unchristian so- cialists, anti-monopoly party, single tax party. Ignatius Donnelly, John P. St. John and Helen Gougar, war is bound to come. New York Sun (dem. The conference, congress or confabulation which began at Cincinnati yesterday includes the largest y of cranks, corner-grocery economists piowtail socialists, out-at-the-clbows politi clans, thinkers with a screw loose, and patriots waiting for something to turn up that has ever been ou exhibition. Kansas City Times (dem.): Looking ahead to next year, while the shrewdest can not yet say whether the people’s party will carry one or twenty states, it may be sufely estimated that it will cut most deeply into the republicans. The platform in its gen- eral propositions very mnearly parallels the democratic doctrine. It is in’ opposition to the republican record from end to end. New York World (dem): A morning newspaper refers contemptuously to the men assembling in Cincinnati as the “delegates of the discontented.” The men in question may be very wise or very unwise—what they do will detérmine that—but it is no reproach to them that they are tne ‘‘delegates of the discontented.” The congress which adopted the declaration of independence was com- posed wholly of the delegates of the disco tented, and so has beea every other gather- ing of men which has instituted any of the great reforms of history. New York Tribune (rep.): The discordant elements ix the Cincinnati coavention ‘ot logether” to such an extent yesterday that “'the people’s party of the United States of America” was launched, a platform adopted and a national committee appointed. The Ehllurul demands the abolition of national anks, advocates the ‘“‘sub-treasury plan, favors free coinage of silver, a tax on in- comes, the election of president and vice president and senutors by popular vote, ete, On the tariff there is no clear utterance. The comparatively harmonious action of the cou- vention at the last was a surprise to the del- ogutes themseives. How soon the barmony will disappear time will show, New York Times (ind.): The new party, constituted by the disgruntied politicias and the “cranks” and dreamers of nalfa dozen western states, announces in its plat- forp the purpose of capturing the convention already called for the 22d of next February but, failing that, its central committee is di- rected to call & national convention “uot later than Jume 1, 1592, for the purpose of nomi- nating candidates for presidest and vice president.”” This is an omen of division and not of union. The abler aud more level-neaded leaders of the organizations which joined in_the call for the Febraary convention will never submit to the control of the short- sighted aud feather-brained fazatics who ruled the Cincinnati conference. The seeds of dissension and wutagonism in the ranis of the discontented have already been sown. The result will probably be two independent parties next year, but the chances are that there will ve %0 little cobesion in tnem that they will not seriously 'diSturb the political balance of the country. The contest will be, as of yore, between e two parties into which the people always divide in the agita. tions of national poiftis upon the chief Irua! that appeal to inteitigence and coavic. tion That the extent of these evils assu aggerated proportions in the minds people doubtless is truéi that some of the remedies proposed by the conference would work results far worsa than the disease is certain; that there is not in the resolutions of the conference & 'single declaration to which reasou can give assenttbat is not | likely to be found in the platforms of one or both of the old parties 1§ certain. But, for his, the voice of the tonference is as “the voico of one crying in the wilderness,” It is an earnest voice, and the wrongs of which it complains must be remedied. This is the lesson of the last futile attempt at the forma- tion of a new people's party, Chicago Inter-Ocean: This is what the student of politics perceives, and what it is needful that the practical politician should perceive; the conscience of a large part of the American peopie is troubled. That is what the outeome of the Cinciunati confer- ence teaches. The power of great corpora- tions is regarded as oppressive; the danger of transmission of large fortunes from sire to son through many generations is appre- hended: the power of speculators and money Kings to raise aud lower the prices of neces- saries of life at their pleasure is feared; the falsification of the ballot in various states is recognized, the power of wealth upon nomin- ating conventions and upon legislatures that elect senators is discerned. Washington Post (ind): The platform adopted at Cincinnati yesterday is more iogeneous 1n character than might have been expected of a convention composed of 0 heterogeneous elements. It {s devoted iy to industrial and economic rather tnan social or sentimental issues. Its chief nce from the pletforms of the old par- ties consists in its endorsement of the sub- tre scheme of gove nent loans and its | | | | | | aj of a graduated income tax. In hese respects the convention takes an ed position. It also declares substan- n favor of government ownership of ilroads and of the election of presiaent and vice president by a_direct vote of the people. * "% Tt will be well for the politicians to put their houses in order. By -visdom they may break the force of the storm, but tho storm s in the afr. It may spend itself, but ila it lasts it adds an clement of doubt to all political calculations. Dos Moines Register (rep.): The ‘“peo- ple's’” party, “believing in equal rizhts an special privileges to none,” proceeds to de- clare, after providing for the issue of mill fons of treasury notes, that “such notes when demanded by the peopic shall be loaned tothem at not more than ¥ per cent per annum, upon nou-perishable products, as indicated in the sub-treasury plan, and also upon real estats, with prover limita- tion upon the quantity of land and amount of money W is this but class legisla- tiou of tne wmost palpable kind!

Ratio of the Prorate Percentage to the Sum of the Two Locals— Other Magic City News. The enforcement of the provisions of the interstate commerce law by the Western Freight association is still the cause of con- siderable complaint and kicking. Under the lax practices in vogue till a month ago, the market was largely in the interest of ship- pers from this point, and to & corresponding amount against local packers. Shippers then could buy stock and get the rivilege of forwardiug on through oillings from western points at the pro rata schedule rates, thus ing frowm 5 to 10 per cent of the priviiege. Under the well enforced laws, requiring the preservation of the identity of stock, this caunot be done. Other than through stock must pay local rates. This enforcement in no way works to the detriment of this ma ket, as stock properly billed to Chicago via South Omaha may have the benefit of this market and on being sent on through will have the benefit of through rates. In case the stock be sold here only local rates from the point of origl tion to this place will be paid. ‘The ouly cases or complaint are where shippers fail to bave sir shipments properly billed t6 Chicago a South Omaha. If billed direct to South Omaba and it afterwards be forwarded to Chicago, two local rates will be charged Shippers have, or claim to have, substan- tial grounds for complaint against the pres- ent practices. For instance, they claim that with a $10 rate on a_car of stock from Papil- lion to South Omaha, that on buying the same stock and shipping it to Chicago, they are compelled to pay to the Union Pacific railroad company 40 per cent of the through freightage of §7.20 or 22,88 more than twice the local rate. The same applies to nearly 4ll points within a near radius. From this it is argued* that they are not only discriminated agaimnst, but are actually robbed of considerable mouney on freights under the 40 and 60 per cent apportionment rule, or else are likely to be driven out of this market. They boldly maintain that with- out them the market would be ruined. An analysis of even this extreme o demonstrate that shippers are rather bene- fited than injurea by the pro rata rule. At 28 cents per 100 pounds, the tariff rate from Pa- pillion to Chicago, a car of stock of 24,000 poands would 2.40. 1f shipped through the 40 per cent west of the river would be £24.00, or $14.06 greater than tne local rate from Papillion to this market, and the 60 per cent east of the river would &37.44. This on ts first face shows a direct loss or disadvantage to shippers of $14.95 on each car load of Papillon stock bought ou this market for shipment to Chi- cago. And the same applies to all other near- by points. But when it be recalled that the local rate ot #10 from Papillion bere and 23i; cents per t e will legisiation. Philadelphia Times (ind.): Several times already in the history of the country a po- litical organization or more or less pretension has been formed with the title of ‘“The Peo- ple's Party.” As every party claims and is supposed by its acherents to be in the inter- est of ““the peopls,’” the use of such a title is expressive of nothing more definite than dis- coatent with existing organizations, and while discontent is often an important factor in politics, it can never furnish a permanent basis of political action: As & consequence the so-called people's parties have been short lived, and it is scarcely probable that those who joined in rganization of the new people’s party at Cincinnati expect a very long duration for it But while it lasts it may have some importance, * * * Itis impossible and unnecessary to predict the immediate effect of this organization. Like the original greenback and other allied movements it is likely enough to tempt both of the two great parties 1nto bids for its sup- port, or it may become no more than so much political merchandise. But so far as it goes 1t indicates that the revolution which gave the new congress to the democrats has not yet spent its force and the element which it represents is a factor that must be reckoned in the calculation for 12, Chicago Tribune (rep.): Oneof the reso- lutions passed by the cranks In_the ‘‘peo- ple’s” convention assembled at Cinci demands that the ex-union soldiers shal pald the differenco between the values of paper and the gold during the war, and char- acterizes this as “equal and exact justice.” On the contrary, it would be rank injustice to the otber people who would bave to pay the money out of their earnings. The fact is, the pay of tae soldier was raised by succes- sive steps from $3_to $16 per month for the express purpose of compensating them for the existence of the premium on goid. There were also large state, county and town bounties granted to volun- teers at the time, and most liberal pen- sion allowances since then. Do the cranks waat to pay yet again for theservice! If they do the next step should be to reimburse ail those who lent money or sold goods before the warto persons who afterwards paid their debts in the depreciated currency Further- more, all persons who contracted debts dur- ing the war in paper curreacy and afterwards paid them on a gold basis would be equally entitled to call for a reopening of the account and payment of the difference. Then we would have a grand leveling up aud down in defiance of all law aud agreements to the contrary, and a chaos of confusion little short of that which would follow a granting of the convention's demand for the issucofa fiat currency by the billion. UNCLE — - AM'S PROPERTY. Collector Peters thers Up Some in Omabha. John Peters, collector of the internal reve- nue at the Omaha office, has been rounding up the wholesale liguor men of Omaha dur- ing the past few weeks and has found some property that belongs to the government in the possession of the brewers, distillers and other liquor merchants, He found five cases of instruments used by guazers in testing liquor in the possession of theliquor men. Mr. Peters said yester day that he knew these instruments belonged to the government for, so far as he knew, there was no other source through which such instruments could be secured. These instruments have evidently been uscd by eaugers and have been sald or given to tho liquor dealers. Each case is worth about 50, Mr. Peters has also séized ten whisky bar- rels that bad uncancelled’ stamps upon them, and the parties who bad-them in possession will be prosecuted for au attempt to defraud the government. Several parties have also been caught with oleomargarine stamps , that were not can- celled when the cas»s were emptied. In one grocery store Mr. Peters said his deputies found forty cases with uucancelled stamps on them.

W. Gring's under- taking rooms. Albert T. McLaughlin, the president and manager of the Omaba Medical institute, was the first witness, Manager McLaughhin denied that he styled or advertised himself Into as a physician, and stated that, while tho office records showed that Melody had paid $419 for the operation and treatment, he did not see the patient until a day or so after the second operation.

Mr. McLaughlin said tnat whils man of the institution he was not familiar with every case in the hospital, and as he was not a physician could not auytning about cases from a medical point of view. Dr. J. P. Williams is the examlaing physi- cian at the hospital and stated that he exam- ined Melody on the day of his arrival at the institute. Dr. Williams next saw tho de ceased when on the table at_the time of the first operation aud assisted Dr. Sinclair, the surgeon. The wituess stated that he thought Melody was strong and_healthy, considering his age, and believed him able to stand an operation Dr. Isaac Sinelair testified that ho was the surgeon of the hospital and performed the operation upon Richard Melody. Coroner Harrigan questioned the surgeon at some length upon the anesthetics used and their effect, also upon the physical condition of the patient at the time he was placed under the knife. Dr. Sinclair closed his testimony by stuting that he had been a hospital surgeon in Chicago and also a railroad surgeon some 3 ago. Dr. J. A. Hurhson stated that he adminis. tered ether to the patient when he lay upon the operating table. Beyond that he knew nothing about the operation C. W.

The weekly meeting of the county commis- sioners held yesterday afternoon was of thirty minutes duration. On motion of Mr. Timme the board went into committee of the whole, with Mr Berlin in the chair, Mr. Timme offered a resolution providing that I. N. Hascall be allowed $1,000 ground rent for the use of the land on which the ola hospital building stands. Mr. Timme had examined the records and was unable to find that Hascall has any right to demand 3,000 forrent of the building. This was backed up by an opinion from County Attorney Ma- honey.

The application of Auditor Benton for leave to intervene in the case of Madden against the Nebraska Insurance company was heard by Judges Wakeley and Irvine yesterday afterncon. The auditor was rep- resented by Assistant Atwrney General Summers. The petition, beside asking for leave to in- tervene, asked for the appointment of D, B, Welpton, Mr. Albright haviag declined o serve. The point was raised by the attorney for the company that the tion should have been made by the atto: geveral in his own name and not by tue auditor. The court decided that the point was well taken and held that the attorney general may inter- vene in the pending suit in his own name, but that the auditor has no such right.

He stated very emphatically that there was uothing whatever in the case as far as the present board was concerned and he be- lieved that the statement had been made simply to_prejudice the case. (It appears that the stal was made in an answer filed by Doty in a case in the district court of Lancaster county.) ‘The auditor stated further that the board had held a meeting ana bad talked the mat- ter over and he was prapared to state, under cath, that no memner of board bad re- ceived a dollar in any shape or form from the firm named.
