GARED 0N SACRED CROUND Joction Hallowed with the Memeries and Bacrificos of Frontier Heroesr, ERIDAN BUILT ON HISTORIC SOIL ed Activity In All the M.neral and In- lustrinl Centers of the West—New Do- velopments and New Enterprises— Summary of Current Events, Mhe town of Sheridan, Wyo., is located on ric ground and in a region consecrated the lives and services of many of the untry's ablest soldiers. On the very sito the town General Crook camped his gal- tlittle army in July and August, 1876, iting for reinforcements, after the battle the Rosebud, forty miles away. In this gagement with Sitting Bull's forces, Gen- 1 Crook's command was outnumbered ir 10 one, according to Gen- al Crook's own estimato, yet the general d about 900 figinting men. Our little army b1d its ground and tae Indians retreated. ral Custer cncountered Sitting Bull on o Little Big Horn just one week later, and at portion of his command which went th him into the fight, about 565 men, was nihilated. here the town of Sheridan now stands ere was n busy and & martial scene August 1870, Genes Merritt, with the Fifth aited States cavalry, joined General Crook that date, and immodiately the order was ven to move against the hostile Sioux. ere was to be no for the reinforcing lumn, which had marched for many days. fie camp that might, betwecn the two o0se croeks, was alive with active prepava- bns, and the carliest streak of dawn found 0 entire command, stripped of a1l impedi- enta, on the march toward the north and st. Tts subscquent carecr—its battles, arches and starvation—are known to the ntry. At the present site of Sheridan, General ‘rook had all his wagon train and animals at wero not essential to his purpose con- pntrated and pinced under the control of ajor John W. Furey. quartermaster, and th a small force of citizen employes us es. brt, he was ordered to take the train-back Fort Laramie and the Black Hills. Our ridges were burned behind us when we loft ie camp on ‘which now stands the town of eridan. The lovely outlines of the Big orn mountains, the beautiful streams full trout, the grassy mesas, the restful peace waiting were soon to be only a memory. ittle did those who participated in the vents of those stirring times think that hey wore preparing the way for railronds nd towns and civilization in the heart of hat then center of savage life. Our homes nd friends were many hundreds of mi way and around in there wasonly tho s geenemy. The town of Sheridan Is all hese incidents and their presentcontrasts. jut there v r great soldier who ad proceedc e. General P. E. Con- or led & command into this very region in 365, and camped on the same ground. He bught the entire ahoe tribe ouly a hort distavce from Sheridan, and with such uoccess that they never afterwards played ny important part in the history of frontier ostilities. e hac small command, but, ith a lion-hearted leader, no obstacle and p enemy is too great. Captain H. E. Pal- her, now of this city, was with him in that ampaign, and performed such service as to ndear him fo in the general's affec- on. It was the good fortune of the writer 0 hear from the general himself, his personal account of the conduct of his licers and men in this campaign, and it a8 always the tribute which a good soldier loves to pay to another. He never tired of talking of the gallantry of his officers and men, under the most trymng, ‘dificult and dangerous circumstances, of which his march into that country at that time fur- nished abundant occasions. The old Bozeman trail to Moatana, on which Sheridan is located, was the scene in later times of many of the most bloody con- flicts with the hostile Indlans which have occurred in our history. Fort Phil Kearney, twenty miles east of Sheridan, and Fort C. 'F, Smith, thirty milcs beyond, were estab- lished on that trail. After the massacre of \Captain Fetterman and his 100 men on the ridge running from Kearney towards Sher- idan, December 22, 1866, these posts were withdrawn, ana the entire region was abandoned to the hostiles. It remained in their possession until General Crook began lis operations against them in. February, 676, In him they found a foemun so crafty, 0 brave, so gencrous and so determined, hat their obstinacy was of no avail, and in s year's time they were subducd and went onto the reservations set apart for them, [I'ne greater part of Wyoming, Montana and 1l of South Dakota was added to the civil- ed portion of the country by his genius nd unflagging o ory. The town of Sheridan has done well to ommemorate the namesof the men who id so much to make its prosperity possible. u looking over the mup of the townsite, one finds the name of Sheridan avenue, Crook ivenue, Custer nrgt, Canby street, Carlin treet, Carrington 3treet, Connor street and jhers which tell of the men whose names nould ever be cherished. One name that ‘oes not appear should have been remem- ered, and that is of the gallant Fetterman. section that is crowded with the memor- hs and sacrifices of our best men (and the wn of Shecidan can lay claim to this) ould not omit the name of Fotterman.

At present, while all other classes of labor are b0t only organized into unions, but also into federations, the miners have only their local unions. The object of the gathering is to consider the wmatter of a federged jor- juization, with an organization that shall bave general charge of union masters in the thwest, aud shall establish, if possible, soale of wi forall.

These things have led to the belief among the lenders in_miners unions that only by a head organization can the miners attain their full strength. Marhle City's Resnuress. From present indioations the next puint in Colorado to attract attention will be Marble City, located in Gunnison county, about twenty-three miles In & airect line south- west of Aspen and upon the north bank of Crystal river. At the present time two railronds are being built up that beautiful valley, one of which is already graded to within threo miles of the town. With the advent of steam transportation will come great activ- ity in developiug the wonderful and varied resources that abound in its immediato vicinity, Perhaps there is no section in this state thar can show so many induce- ments for profitable industry in such a small area as Marble City and iis surroundings. About one mile southeast of the town are located vast marble beds, varying from white to black, and of almost cvery known shade. This marble has been pronounced by the best experts in America to be the finest in the world. Within a half mile to the cast and south- east lies one of the largest slate beds on the continent; this slate is of the class known as rock slate. being very durable, and is worth about 81 per square foot more than the finest Pennsylvania slate. From one to four miles east of Marble City is located Sheep mountain, well known for its mines of precious metals. On this moun- tain the showing for good, permanent mines is said to be botter than that of Aspen at the same stage of development. Ore has been taken from these mines almost as rich as that mined from the wonderful Mollie Gib- son, and with railway transportation to the mountains doubtless this district will be- come one of the leading producers of min- eral. One mile southeast stands White House mountain, on which and underlying the white marble is found a blanket vein of carbonate ore varying from three sto twelve feet in thickness.” This is one of the largest ore bodies in Colorado. One mile northwest of Marble City a body of semi-anthracite coal is found of & good grade, Extensive forests of pine and_ spruce tim- ber stand withiu two miles of the town. ‘Within a radius of one mile iron and sul- phur springs are found, the waters of which are said to equal any iu the state for medi- cinal purposes. The valley in which Marble City is located is one of the most picturesque and fertile in Colorado. The river furnishes fine trout fishing along its shady banks. Many kinds of game abound within a_short distance of the town, among them elk, bear and deer. The tourist and sportsman can find amuse- n\;‘nlin abundance in and around Marblo City. Gnleun at Belt Mountain. ‘While excavating for a water tank in rear of the shaft house of the Moulton the work- men struck a vein of galena, the exact width of which cannot be determined yet, says the Belt Mountain Miner. They exposed it for about ten feet but did not attempt to find the walls. One boulder found just below the surface weighed 700 pounds. Yesterday afternoon vhey again struck the vein, this time in the shaft and at a, depth of ten feet. It is the entire width of the shaft, which is about twelve feet wide, and resembles the are taken from the Tiger. They did not expect to strike avything for some time vet, ana although this was unexpected it wiil be none the less welcome. About three tons were re- moved from the strike made on the surface and it was all nice and clean with hardly any waste. The vein dips to the north towards the old shaft lower down the hill and in which there is a body of iron thirty feet wide. Itis expected that when this iron is reached they will have an immense body of ore. They are working eight men and will add another shift the first of the week and take out ore as they proceed. On Monday the hanging wall in the Tiger was encountered and disclosed fourteen feet of ore. The work on the upraise con- tinues, and from present indications they will break through next week, as the sound and jar from the shots can be plainly heard and felt on the surface. As soon as the rouds are in fit condition ore will be shipped 4s fast as teams can haulit. They have quite a number of men at work cutting out the road leading to the mine and getting it in shape to ship. Charles Gibson arrived in camp Monday evening, and Tuesday morning he had a force of men at work on the Barker mine pumping the water from the shaft and giving the mive u general overhauling. It was a very difficult task, as the tunnel was also flooded and frozen, but by hard work night and day they have managed to overcome it, and soon they expect to have it clear of water. It is the intention of the company to thoroughly overhaul the mine, and if the result 18 suffi- ciently encouraging they will go ahead and work it, Farmers Fighting Freights. Farmers living in the vicinity of Elkhorn, Summit Lake and Wheatville, Cal., are about to prove that it is possible to run steamers from their neighborhood to San Francisco. They want to send their wheat to market by waterand are convinced that there is nothing in the way of doing it. Tho crop of wheat on reclaimed lands, of which thousands of acres are planted this year, is the largest ever known. Some time ago these farmers, who had grown tircd of wa it- ing for engineers and companies to move, appoiuted & committee of their own to ex- amine the slough from Elkhorn to White's bridge. They looked over the route and saw that boats could be run, except in one or two phces, where $100 would remove the obstructions. They went to San Francisco, and bar- %ninnd for avery small steamer and six arges to cost only $3,350, to be bought in caso the rest of the farmers about Elkhorn approved of the bargain. They then went home and called a mecting of all the people who favored the idea. This meeting was to meet at Wheatville last weok. This place lies so far away that the result of the meeting has not yet been learned. The steamer is small, but it is thought that it can tow to barges from Elkhorn to San Franci The plan is to have six barges. While two are being towed down two will be loading and two unloading. Each will carry sixty or seventy tons. During the summer and fall considerable grain can be taken to market if the project can be carried out. There is all the money needed backing the business and the people of that vicinity say that while Fresno, Bakersfield and Visalia are arguing the matter Elkhorn will send its wheat crop to market by water. The Indian Not an Ideal Soldier Yer, The enlistment of Indians into the mili- tary servioe of the United States has not proved a success as regards the Indian sol- diers who aroe stationed at Fort Meade, A great denl of trouble hasbeen experiencod with some of the Indian soldiovs there. One of them at that post has been diseharged from the service by a special order fram the War department, and Trumpeter Oscar Bear, who was tried before a general court martial for forging the name of his licuten- ant to twochecks on a Sturgis bank, was convicted of the act and sentenced to four years confinement in the penitentiary, but the reviewing authority remitted vhe sen- tence to threo months confinement in the post guard house. These, with the case of Tarry Woodface, the Indian soldier who was convicted of striking a superior officor. is not an enviable record for the Indian solaiers at Fort Meado. John Too Smart for His Own Good, The Chinaman is a wonderful irrigator, and his presence ou the bigirrigated ranches of California is » great boon to the pro- prictors. He is the most perfect type of the servile laborer, and is, therefore, very satis- factory to those who have no objection to servilelabor. Where there is a good system of irrigation eight Chinamen will irrigate 1,000 acres a day at a cost of 5 ceuts per acre. They work with remarkable speed and accuracy, and often locate checks by the oye that would ordinarily require the services of @ surveyor. The Chinaman works so well and so cheap that he would soon drive out all white labor if uo restriotions were m- Posed on immigration. It would require much apace to -ot forth & com st of his pointa of superiority over the usual hired help of the farm, An Electric Lina from Besemer to Pashlo. Pueblo is about to have a second electric raflway company. For soveral days inter- ested citizens have boen ongaged in solicit- ing subscriptions for a stroet car line di- rectly connecting the two cities of Pueblo and Bessemer. They announce today that sufficient tunds are assured, and that, if the present Pueblo City Railway company will not construct the new line at once for a reasonable bonus, a new company will be im- mediately organized. The movement is in the hands of the proprietors of the Philadel- phia and Colorado smelters, the stock yards and packing companies and other manu facturing plants which have no communica- tion with the city, except by private convey- ance, nlthough some 8,000 people live in that vicinity.

The Ponca papers haven’t found out many facts yet concerning the failure of the First National bank of that plgce, but there are plenty of rumors, and this is the way some of them are treated by the Journal: “If creditors have been wronged and if credit has been obtained by a course of fraudulent prices, such measures will unquestionably be taken as will preserve bona fide creditors from loss. Looking over the field. andad- mitting the apparent blackness, rottenness and infamy of the wreck, we have still nou the least doubt as to the payment of every dollar which the bank honestly owes. If all the rumors are correct,if the bank has been plundered regularly of money as fast it came in, it every depositor’s money has, in fact been swopt awny for fast horses and champagne, and to maintain the gorgeous state and un- scrupulous and arrogant extravagance of an imperial court of the middle ages, we still have the utmost confidence that in the end every creditor will receive his own. Thi confidence is not foolishly based on faith alone. The wreck has created the utmost consternation and excitement. There are some who had deposited there every cent they had in vhe world, and the cold blooued infamy and cruelty in'not giving scme hint to them, 80 they might draw it out before the crash came, is a feature which excites an_indignation, which is hard, and every day grows harder, to suppress. But such feelings must kept under the rule of reason, and reckless acts, born of despair, must be avoided. We rare are in- formed that one man tried to shoot Mr, Dor- sey on Tuesday evening. The man had sold his house and the procceds he had left in the bank for safe keeping. It was all he had, and the thought of himself destitute and his family without a home maadened him beyond reason. Had he accomplished his purpose, it would not have given him his money, and it would have plunged him and his family into trouble and suffering com- rure:l ‘with which his present losses are noth- ng."
