STRUCK SILVER GLANCE ORE. Rich Dircovery Recently Made in Medicine Bow Range Near the Gold Hill Camp. BAND CARBONATES HAVE BEEN FOUND. JGreat Activity in the Big Mining Dis- trict of the Platte Valley in v yoming. Upper Sout Bararoos, Wyo., June 12.—(Staft Corr ) X spondeuce of Tik Ber. | It will no doutt be ‘ % nsurprise to most folus who are dependent i on outside sources of information to learn 3 B that there has been great activity in the vast ¥ Gold 1111l mining district during tho past fow . Weoks. a2 Btories ve been told about the snow storins that prevailed throughout the month of May and increased the big drift piicd up on the mountaln top since last October in the Famous camp which gives its namg to the ) horseshoe shaped district that is 120 miles fo extent, Melting snow filled the shafts Full of water and made it a difficult matter to get around on Gold Hill. Although develop. ment work thore was necessarily suspended for awhile, the impression seoms to huve got broad that this stato of affairs indicated that the ncw camp would not be opened up this season as soon as expected and that the value 4 of the mincral discoverios would long r. an unknown This misapprehen nain quantity. sion ought to be speedily corrected. On ac . count of the newness of the camp ana the b s consequent lack of proper precautions for keeping it open, all that happened was anticipated by tho men who had intorests there. Those who took pains to inquire mbout the camp before going there f for tho first time had a chance to understand the oxact situation. Nohody has been deceived who soueht information in the 1 right quarter. But bocause sowme men went into tho camp when tho condition for pros pecting and other work wero nnfavoranle ] aod were disappointed in not being able to carry out thoir own plans, reports have been b cirenlated which are caleulated to injure Gold Hill in many wavs It is afact, though, that a great deal of . prospecting has recently been done in the Gold Hill camp and its vieinity. Kich min eral finds have bcen made within th two weeks that are as promising os last ny strikes previously made in that locality Some of the new prospects are of considerablo importance. Indications of extensive denosits of sand carbonates have been found und trenches cut in tho snow and slush exposed beds that seem destined to add greatly to the woalth of the camp. In ono instance the discovery was mado on u claim—tho Euter- Jriso-which hnd nirendy attained sone no- oriety from the richness and magnitude of fts quartz lead. W. H. Cadwell, an old miner, made a similar discovery on one of his claims, from which good returns had previ- ously been made on rock taken out of a biw lead. Owners of other prospects who have not been botherod too much by snow water have been ablo to push forward development work with encouraging results. So it will be peen that the miners havenot been idle. IMPROVED GOOD CHANCES. Great care was taken to warn newcomers of the difficulties to bo mot in_the new camp. ‘When a stranger arrived in Saratoga, which 18 the natural as well as commercial center of tho wholo district and the only route by which the Gold Hill camp could be reached, he was posted as to the inconvenience and danger cf trying to do anything there. Attention was directed to other localities in the vicinity where littlo or no_carcful or systematic pro pecting had yet been done. Miners who took the adyice of those who recommended these new fields of operation havo in numerous in- stances boen yewurded. New strikes are of almost daily occuranco in the Medicine Bow range, whicn lies to the east of the Sura- toga valley, and also in the Sierra Madres which forni tho western boundary of this fortile basin through which flows the Platta ver. Rich fiolds arc constantly being repo cro. Proofs as to the valuo of these discovories aro abundant. 1f a lucky p pootor does mot o to the trouble or expense of testing tho rock ho brings in or sonas it away for assay somo one else will. Half a dozen or more residents of this town have cabinets filled with fine specimens brought {n by the locators of claims. These would bo creditable exhibits for an old and well de- veloped district instoad of being, as is the case, collected from one in which little work was done prior to tha beginning of this ye No longer is there uny particular excite- ment or furore created in town over the re- port of a new find. That1s accepted as a matter of course and tho mother-in-law form By “I told you so” is the comment fre 1 wcutly heard when any oue makes ' iscocery in & now locality. So far the : rospects found in recontly explored places ave been hunted for rather than stumbled upon. It is & fortunate circumstance that those who are doing tho prospecting in the istrict at present are for the most part ex- perienced men. Comparatively few *tender- Zeot!” have as yot begin to ftramplo the hills and tempt fortuno with pick and shovel. What pass for new discoverios somctimes turn out to bo leads which have in reality been known to one man or in . a limited » --@rclo for a year or more. These locations were kept secret until those who found them had an opportunity to test tho rock or were ready w0 do the necessary assessment work to have the olaim recorded. When onn or the other con i:uuu has been fultilled development on o rge or small scale is begun, SILVER GLANCE STRUCK. As an examplo of this sort of poliey refer- nce may be mado to i big copper prospect at tho head of Lake creok, twolve milos due cast of Suratoga.

They tried to keep as a socret the vichness of the pore as disclosed i the prospect shaft. But 1t leaked out that Sheriff Hadsell, who is one *of tho owners, had a big thing and that at- tracted minevs thithor, for his popularity makes uny good fortune to him a matter for genoral congratulation. Just how rich tais ‘ew strike is cannot be found out with ,any degreo of cortwmty.

Carbon people have been at work since the middle of April trying to cut a road over the moutains to Gold Hill whieh would give them direct communication with the camp, « Forty men were engaged until o few days ago when after enduring many hardshins they gave it up as abad job. A stamp mill was hauled out over the Carbon road but is stuck fast, and if it ever gets into Gold Hill by that route it will be too late for much practical uso this season. Saratoga kept open & road to the camp all winter. That part of it through the timber was hurriedly built and davgerous Lo travel. Although no mishaps ocenrrad the road was not serviceable for eight miles of jts length after the snow began to melt.

She was introduced by Rev Y. Shank, editor of the Nebrasks Christian Advocate aud presudent of the hospital ussociation Mrs. Meyer said there seomed to be a do- plorable misunderstanding of the work of the Christian chureh, and this had been brought about by the church neglecting to do Work of its share of chai work. The aims and object the deaconess movement were to set the church right befors tho world by doing somethin for the poor. the sick and distressed. These deaconcsses did the work without pay. Tho church simply provided them with the absoluto necessitics of life. The ostimate was $200 a year for ohioncotiess, This. pajd for board, oloths ing and $2 per month for “pin-money There were two ordors of deacondsses nursing and the visiting, Tho former ook charge of the hospitals, and the latter visited tho sick and the poor in tho city where the home was located. ‘The object was not ouly to relicve physical suffering but to spread gospel truth as weil. Whils they were ministering to tho wants of the body, they also looked out for the welfare of the soul. She thought that the church had 100 loug neglected one of Christ’s command- wents, He said to preach the gospel and also to heal the sick. The church had been neglecting tue lattor. This the deacouesses boped 10 ssist in doing. or then gavo a numbor of apt il- lustrations of the beneficial effects of the work among the poor and suffering. In Chi- cago many of the poorer classes had boon carried away by socialistio ideas and wero almost ready to become anarchists because the churches’ had dono nothing to reliovo their distress. T'he work of the deaconesses amony such people had a_tondenoy to cou- vince them that there was a humaue side to Christlanity. When Jesus Christ was on carth he rclieved the suffering, healod tho sick and comforted the poor. The first hos- pital ever opened for the care of tho sick was opened after tho birth of Christ i the city of Jorusalor Mrs. Meyer sad she was giad that tho church in Omaha had taken up this noble work. The church people and th world needed an object lesson in charity, and these institutions would creato a public sentiment in favor of broader and more thorough benovolont work than had heretofore been accomplished. She congratuiates the Omaha on upon tho splenaid start that had beon made. The Omaha hospital was capable of accommodatiug about forty patignts. This was larger than any other yet opencd by the deaconesses, and overything indicatod great usetultess and magnificent results in Omaha, Mr. Meyer was askod to say a fow words about the financlal management of homes and hospitals, and he gave a very practical tali of ten minutes, Rev. Shauk then opened the subscription list for membership subseriptions, and ten members at §10 each were secured in a fow moments.

Asylum for the Inourable Insane Was a Snap for the Oontractora GO-AS-YOU-PLEASE RULES IN BUILDING. No Attention Paid to Anything in the Contract Except to Collect the Price from the Sadly Swindled State. Hasrixas, Neb,, June 13.—To the Editor of Tie Bree: 1 see that plans and specifications are being arawn for the construction of two additional wings to the asylum for the in- curable insaue in this city, and that bids for their erection will soon be asked. I thought it would not be amiss to call the attention of the board of public lands and builaings to the fact that the citizens of this eity, especially, and tho taxpayers of the state do not desire to seo a repetition of tho methods resorted to iu the construction of the original structure. As o citizen of the third city ot the state, I hav: not only the interest of a taxpayer in this matter but a local pride as well. I not only desire to sec the state have a just representa- tion of value in those additions for the monoy expended whnen completed, but | want the latter constructed in such a manner that they will bo a credit to the enterprise and in- tegrity of the city of Hustings. While the location of this institution stands as evide of the progress mado by the citizens of Hastings, the building 1t self, constructed as it was, ‘stands before the taxpayers of the state as one of the most elaring frauds ever perpetrated upon the state, Hastings had two architects, C. C. Ritten- house and 5. J. Weigle, who wero rivals, These submitted plans to the board for adoption. The lattar, to please all factions, adopted Rittenhouse's and avpointed Weigle as superintendent of construction. Whon Weigle was installed ho changed the plans. When the building was turned over for use it was found to be Inadequate and_Defective in many respects. To remody this entailod 4 houvy additional expense upon tho state. Tho “contract for the construction of the building was awarded to Ells, Reynolds & Sprecher for the sum of 54,000, exclusive of plumbing and heating. The fivst mistako was an error of judgment on the part of the state board, but what fol- lows was charged to the superintendent. Tho basement, which 1s of stoue, was well built, but from that to the roof the building was constructed almost wholly without re- gard to specifications, The brick was to_be of tha best quality of hard-mould kiln burned material. 1t was, however, manufactured upon the premises of a very inferior quality of clay and poorly burned. "I saw a sample of the brick taken from tho inner wall near the foundation when the fire escapes were being put up, whic b could be taken between tho thumb and finger and crushed to powder. The wmortar used in the walls was very much impoverished as to lime, but very in sand taken from tho sand Dt from which the clay had been dug for the manufacture of the brick. Thismortar was profusely used, the mortar lues in a greater part of the walls being from one and a half to three-quarters of an inch thick. The mason work was done in_a_manner cor- responding with the quality of the material used. In fact, during the rany season of 1889 I was shown numerous places throughout the institution where the Rain Beat Through the Walls and the mortar lincs were so softened that a leadpencit could be run several inches into the seams. The roof was found to bo moro shoddy and defective. The spevifications and contract originally provided that the roof should be of No. 1 redwood shingles laid not more than four and o half inches to the weather. But upon the representations of the contractors and superintendent of construction, the board, by some means was induced to consent to a tin shingle being used at an extra expense of nearly $500. These tin shingles wero so budly laid and so many of them failed to lap at all that the roof, when completed, afforded but little wore protection to the building than a sieve. As a result, the structure leaked so badly that the walls and ceitings were baaly damaged, and some of the ceil- ings had to be replastered within a year. After expending several hunared dollars in vaiu attempts to patch up this roof, the board finaily, in December, 1859, was com- pelled to put a new reof upon the institution at an expense of nearly $000. Wits reforenco 1o ‘the above facts, Hon, Jonn Sieen In his bicunial report as commissioner of public lands and buildings, says: Tho Kitchen was wholly inudequate to the requirements of the instication, and a new bascment kitehen hnd to be constructed. The sowerago was very dofeotive and insufficiont to meot the sunitary neads of tho building, und u now sower had to bo buflt. ~ Olosots and wardrobes had to be constructed throughout the lustitution, and no_rooms had been pro- vided for tho necessary ;help employed in- tho wsylum aside from thiose employed upon the wards; nostore room had been provided; the towar had boen S0 poorly bullt s to render it unsate i cuso of high winds: the roof of the ontire building, which was of tin, had boen so poorly luid that it leaked badly, and the sys- tem of water supply was totally fnadequato to supply the needs of such an institution.

To do th.s required considerable thie and the expenditure of a large sum of money. In tho iuterior the work, if possible, was Even More Poorly Done than upon the exterior, In tho finishing the specifications were almost wholly ignored and the work was done in a sort ol wo-as- you-please manner. ‘I'he matorial used was Wholly inferior in quality to that called for in the specifications. Tho finishing lumber used was away below the grade requived, while the hardwaro was totally different and infevior to that demanded and contractea for. The mortar used inplastering was in keep- ing with thatused in the walls. As a conse- quence the walls and ceilings throughout the institution aro continually cracking and crumbling off, while some of the rooms had to be replastered within a year from tho time the building was accepted. Tho state was not only defrauded of the amount paid for this sort of work, but was put to thousands of dollars’ expense beside in remedying these defects, When it came to the plumbing and st heating contract tho stato was still Further Imposed Upon, This part of the work was lot at 8,000, Tho contract called for double-pipe systom of steam heating, first-class in all respeots. Tho radiators were to be furnished with nickel plate trimming, ground brass unions, eto. The specifications plainly set forth the various sizes of pipes and radiators to be used, and how the same should be put in When the work was done, the slats had a bipe system instead of a double pipe, constructed of the very cheapest grades of tixtures, Tho pipes, radiators, ete, wore from ono to two sizes smaller than cailed for. Whon the cold weather came, 1t was impos sible to keep tho huilding warm. Complaints were made to the board, and experts were sont out to inspect the system. To show how many noar my assortions are correct, I will quote from tho report made by Hon, John Jonkins then commis- sioner of labor, who was one of the oxperts that made the examination. He says: The system as It now exists Is what fs aper ¢ bipo dor alled o and ytom nd AL, Heutlon time at our disposal his not pormitt us hrough all the detalls of mporfections. but enough to show that there ll-u been an eatire violation of the specitica- fons. After expending about 100 for expert re- ports I was informed by Superintendent Stone thut the board then entered into a con- tract with the samo steaw-heating firm to romedy the Defects in the Work, for which it was to recelve the sum of $430, Ho further stated that they came out bere, put In about one hundred and seveuty-tive feet of one-inch pipe for draiuage, put on a couplo of small gates or valves, covered some of the pipes in the basement with ordinary brown express puper, roturued the ono-pipo system, & much che not as effeotive as a double The specitications very pluinly Ewo-pibe systom and Airst oluss apy Tho Work Is not up to s nd th to Lincoln and filod & bl for the 8450, to gother with board formen at the Bostwick hotel, and this was aliowed by the board in the face of his protest and recommendation that it should be cut'dbwn! The state has already expended over 81,000 in endeavoring to remedy the defects of this part of the work and has only & very poor and uusatis factory system to show for it. Not safisfied with dofrauding the state in the above manner, thessvarious contractors managed to file and bave allowed claims for extras sufticient to exhaust the 5,000 ap- propriated for the construction of the build- ing. Not only was the State Shamefdly Swindled in the construction of that building, but thousands of dollars had to be expended at once upon a building just accepted 1n order to make it somewhere near what it was dosigned to bo and what the specifica- tions and contract originally said it should bo: this, too, after tho superintendent of con struction had, upon oath on Dacember 29, 1888, cortified that the building had boen comploted in all particulars in accordance with the plans, specifications and contract. The state beard as composed at that time ac- cepted it on behalf of the state, Tho question naturally prosents itself: Why were such gross frauds permitted! Waa it ignorance, indifference or culpability on the part of the Loard of public lands and buildings, under whose administration this work was done?

One more of tho pioneers of Omaha has passed away and gone to that country from which no traveler returns. This time it is William Nile, who had reached the age of sixty-seven years, Mr, Nile died at his residemce, 1902 Pau street, Saturday a¥ 12:30 o'clock p. m. The funeral will be beld from the same place at 10 o'clock this morning and will probably be attended by many of the old settlers of the city. The deceased was born in Ohio. In 1854 he was married to Miss Carrie Wilson at Car- roiltown, O., and 1n the spring of 1856, with his young bride, started west. The couplo journeyed by steamer from Pittsburg, Pa., to avenport, la., and by wagon across the country to Omaha, At that time Omaha 'was a scattering frontier town, but iu it Mr. Nile saw great possibilities, He decided to make It his home. For a number of years he resided at Soventcenth and ‘Cass ' stroots, aftorwards removing to the Paul strect res idence. During the early years of his res- idence in tho city he was " engaged with the Creightons in freighting to Denver, and by economy and good judgment amassed a suf- ficient sum of woridiy goods to place himself and family beyond want.

Today marks the boginning of the end of another school year in the history of Brownell hall. In accordance with tho annual custom the baccalaureate sermon was delivered at St. Matthias’ church last night. The young ladies of the hall occupied saats at the front of the church. The sermon wus deliverod by Bishop Atwill of Missouri, who ctose as his text Philliplans iv, 8: *“1hlnk on theso things.” Tho bishop urged on the young ladies thé fmportance of thinking on the things studied inschool. The tendency iu this age was to do too littlo thiaking. . Tt was as ipossible, he smd, to become a thinker without the exercise of the mind as it was to Locome an athlete without the vig- orous oxercise of the muscles. It was constant thinking which mado thinkers. He admirted that it was no.casy matter to bocome a thinker in this ago of change, whon intellectual food of all kinds was thrown be- fore us in such great profusion as to render it extremely difficult to coufine the thoughts to any particular subjec The prevalent quostions of the day were “tlave you heard (" or “Have you read?” aud not Db you think " Tho démands of fashionablo society wore likely to_distract the mind from the consid- eration of more serious things The highest mission of schools, the bishop held, was to tach thoso who attend to thiuk. The Suprome ond of education was to make the mind a well ordered kingdom. Ha com pared the mind m its universal value to a steam engine, which is usoful for not only one single purpose, but for inuumerablo purposcs. Tho bishop stated that every man must educate himself, Ho = was not thoroughly educated unfl he had the power 4o summon Uis mind to the contemplation of anything he might desire. He urged his hearers to be content to work during their school life and cheered them by reciting numerous instances in which women had earvied off the honors in colloges in_compotition with men, holding that thore was no doubt but that women had capacity for thought equal if uot superioe Lo wan, He warnod them that they would be sorely tempted to lead & thoughtless life, but ap- poaled to them to avoid such a course. It would be possible for them to drift aimiessly through lifo and suffor their minds to become narrow and inflexiblo through misuso, and ho strongly urged them to guard against such a dangerous couse. It was cheerful in this day of Godless odu- cation, the bishop said, to thiuk of girls who wero being taught to think of things Godly. He closed with an_carnest appeal to his youni liearors to build up their characters by arnest thought in thinking of tnose things which were worthy of their thoughts, As an offertory the duo und chorus Waited for the Lord” from Meudelssohn's “Hymu of Praise” was rendersa by the Brownell hall chorus class under tho divee tion of Mrs. Cotton, the duo being rendered by Misses Stella Thorpe and in a lighly artistic manuor. This e 1z will ocour the aunual cale of the hall. pPRICE' Flavoring Extracts NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS. Vanilla - Lemon - Orange - Almond - Rose etc., Clara I almer musi Of perfect purity.
