| | | I ALLEGED GOLD DISCOVERY Big Stampede in P;—ren to the Olarke's Fort Placer Diggings. MINING MEN WHO REGARD IT A FAKE Meported New Gold Strike Located in Fre- mont County, Wyoming, Jast Across the Montna the Great e-News of Northwest. The great majority of gold huvters are turming expectant and anxious eyes in the aitection of the new placer grounds which have recently beet discovered on the Clarke's Fork river, in Fremont county, Wyoming, Just across the Moutana line, and which ars 8aid to be phenomenally rich, says the An: conda Standard. ¢ These diggings were dis- covered nearly throe weeks ago, and their discovery was kept quiet until the origiual locators and thewr friends could get about everything they wanted, The matter could not long be kept a sccret, however, and dur- ing the past few days there has been much excitement among the Butte miners and mining men. “‘Chariey™ Carr and Tom Por- ter, who are backed by Coroner Thomas C Porter, and several other miners of Butte, backed by J. P. Reins and other capitalists, have left for the new Eldorado during the past thres , and other ties are now being made up to stary at ouce. City Treas- urer Simon Jacobs and Mayor Dugau have started out Tom Murray at the head ofa thoroughty equipped party. The new dig- gings a; bout thirty miles south of Red Lodge, on the stage line between that city and Lander, the county seat of Fremont county, and Red Lodge 1s wild with the ex- citement, I he new gold fields were aiscovered at al- _most the same time by W. R McDonnld. who was sent out by Linneman & Schmidt, Joe Henworth, of the Butte & Boston co! pany, and Jumes Orr, who was sent out by the Lexington compan, They at once located some of the best ground, together Wwith the water rights. Mr. MeDanld woi up 480 acres for the men who had seat him out and located 30.000 inches of water. The round located by Mr. McDoasld runs along th sides of Clarke's Fork, and is ten acres wide on each side. Every one who has visited Fork plac thatth o the ricnest discovery made in recent years. The indica- tions grow more flattering cvery day. Mr. McDonald shivped 100 pounas of the dirt to Butte, and, after being on the road for two weelks and tumbled around in a | sack for that ti it ran nearly 5 cents to the pan. Mr, Ore and Mr. McDonald both found any quantity of dirt that runs 15 cents to the pan. Two men made a clean up amounting to from a five daysrun witha sluic modern machine the ground will yield rich returns. A very few ola workings have been discovered, showing that some of the ground was worked tou limited extent as far back as 1860. The miners were probably driven out by hostile Indians who in the country at that time. Since the: ing but flour gold has been discovered. for the reason thut no one went below the sur- the Clarke's eral people have gone from this city to the point where the discovery is alleged to kave been made, says the Butte Miner, and until the return of those of the stampeders who can be depended upon to tell the truth thing definite will be known. Whether the present attempt to stampede #he world to Clarke's Fork isa railroad icheme or the scheme of others, or whether 4t is a scheme at all, is not yet kuown, but it soon will be.. James Brown has been here and it is understood that he s the whole Shing is a fuke. Coroner Portersays he believes there is some gold there, but he is satisfied there is 10 such quantity as the boomers would have people believe. He is an old placer miner and has also ““been there.” In 1874 a man named McDonald came here from Bezeman and reported that he had dis- covered gold in the vicinity of this same excitementdiggings that wonld zofl0 perday totheman. He was conscientious in what he said. On the strengh of this allegations Frank Murra e fire marshal, got up an expedition consisting of seventy or eighty men and started y them for the place. McDonald was with the party. 1t was known as the Hart mountain ex- peaition. The Indians were bad in those days, but notwithstanding this fact the ex- pedition reached the place, prospected it thoroughly and found only a limited quantity of flour gold. Then the Innians attacked them, and Dr. Frost bit the dust at their hands. It huving been reported that old workings have been fouud in the present diggings, Mr. Murray 1s of the opinion that they are the same ones made by his party in 1574. Mr. Murray is not a bit_excited over the ‘“dis- covery" as he, too, has been there before, Joke on Cowboya. What might prove good ground work for a seusational Indian war in the eastern papers occurred upon the ceded lands west of Pierre the other aay, says the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader. Two cowboys known as “Jim” Quinn and “Reddy”, while rounding up cattle, passed some Indians in camp. Suddenly a dog ran out and bit Reddy's norse. The cowboy leapeli from his sadale and hit the dog with a club. The Indians aid not like this and started for the boys. They mounted their horses and rode away. Travelinga few miles the stopped for lunch. While thus engaged they espied a party of Indians on horsebick making for them at a wild gallop. Ihey quickly mounted their horses and commenced their mad flight to Fort Plerre, some twenty wiles away., The cowboy “Reddy” had the better horse and soon left his companion in par, notwithstanding his earpest pro- testation not to let him be sc the wild and woolly red men. V" never stopped until he reached Fort Pierre and there he related his miraculous escave from the Indians and gave out the opinion that he thought his brother cowboy had undoubt- edly been taken in by the Indians. A search- ing and rescuing party was immediately sent out for *Jim." It was about dusk when they started out. They were out all night, but no trace of hun could be found und in the morning avother party started out. They soon found him, about six miles from Fort Pierre. His horse tired out and he was compelled to lay out all night. He was still pretty badly scared, but stated that soon after'dusk he got awiy from the Indians. Upon iuvestigation it wus learned that the Indians who were after the boys were going to Forest City, and were not the ones who ownea the dog. They saw the boys near the campfire and noticed their sudden flight. So they yelled, and this had the proper effec and they let out their horses until they ha sport_enough and then turned off and re- umed their journey. They say they had “heap big time with papoose cowboys.” The dog which the boys knocked over was not seriously hurt even. Other Indian wars }I‘lvfl probably startea on as little founda- ion. Immense Forest Roser: A tract of land extending alon d includ- ng the sumwit and slopes of the Cascade ra from the Columbia river to within twenty miles of the southern boundary of the tate, was withdrawn from settlement and set apart & public reservation by Pre: nt Cleveland on the 25th of September umuder the title of the Cascade Range Forest Reserve, says the Portland Oregonian. The reserve 1s of irregular width, but for a con- aiderable distance is about thirty miles wide, and for some distance much wider, and is estimated to contain 4,500,000 acres. The reservation was made in accordance with the request of a tiumber of prominent eitizens of the siate under an act of con- gress allowing the president to set aside such reservations iu stales or territories baving publio lands beariug forests. whether of commercial value or not. The fiud on which the reservation was asked was thut it was necessary to prevent the mountains from being denuded of forests, and to thus keep up the suoply of water in she numerous streams having their rise in the range. Who first started the scheme is not known, :-s [ v;;- pmmoll: and :rrhd m:‘l p;;a pal geut Savery ai s u..'x Steel. ere Was some opposition 2was. atout to laue & sroctamation was aboul ue & prociamati Seoiting spart she reserve & rewousirauce THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY OVEMBER 20, 1893. was sent on which caused him to postpone | Watertown, Wis., and one from Missourl. the matter, and it was left for his successor | o carry out. The ‘reserte is probably a proper thine enough, and but little will be said against it 80 long as it is allowed to remain as a forest reserve. but any attempt to strip it of its forests will cause a remonstance from the public, who wili then be convinced that the scheme was engineered through in the interest of private parties Wil Botd the Koad, The people of Rapid City are very much pleased with the announcement which has been made that the money has been secured for the building of the Dakota & Wyoming railroad from Chamberlain to Rapid City, says a correspondent of the Sioux Falis Argus-Leader. Last week negotiations were completed vetwoen parties in London and the company for the placing of bonds to the £20,000 a milo for 320 miles from a the Missouri river to some point in This, with the agreement of Chi- 120 parties to proceed with the building of the road, means that over 500 miles of rail- road will be built in South Dakota next year. X ate u thorough examination of the plans of the company, Incrensed Cattle Shipments. Last year only 176,000 cattle were shipped m Montans ays the Miles City Stock irowers' Journal, and it was predicted that this season's run te market would not exceed 150.000 hiead, but already the run has passed that mark and is good for 200.000 by the close of the season. While in some quarters this has excited surprise, the reason is not far to loak for. The drouth which extended from June till September reduced the range very much and the extensive prairic fires which raged wiped the feed off of vast ranges and forced the cattle to market to avoia starva- tion ‘IThen, too, the sudden change in the financial condition of the country forced men who could no longer get accommodation at the banks to market cattle to get some ready money. and as cattle are low it took more cattle to bring a given sum_than heretofore. So these three disasters which overtook the cattle industry, fire, drouth and tinancial pauic, are responsible for sudden changes in the minds of those who would otherwise have held their cattle over a year or so. Caught Slick Burglar, Johin Hagerman, porter of the Rosenfela- Smith company, wholesale dealers in cigars, went into the store the other morning to put out the lights and found there Oscar Sand- man, porter for J. M. Arthur, dealer inma- chinery, whose establishment is on the other sids of the block, the rear of the build- ings abutting, says the San Francisco Chronicle. When asked what he was doing there, Sandman, who sleeps in Arthur's store, said that he neard some one in the store and came in to see what wasup. Hager- man seized Sandman and started for the telephone, when a scuffle ensued and Sand- man bro . jumped through a trap in tho floor and disappeared. There is no cellar under was found tha the store, and it andman had got through a trap deor in Arthur's store, crawied along and came through a similar trap into Rosen- fold's stove. Unaer the floor was a gunn, sack filled with fine o cutlery, ete. Sandman was found and arrested. Down on Auctions, A very lively and interesting little fracas is just now on in the town of Dell Rapids. Some weeks ago the Palace Dry Goods com- of thisplace established a brauch house at ihat place and at once began to auction off goods, s: the Minneapolis Jour: “This stirred up the local merchants; the auctioneer, Mr. Bell, had vai. nothing could be done until the city council, a meeting, took sides with the local mer- ants and revoked Bell's license. Bell r fused to accept the amount tendered him by way of refund and kept right on selling woods. At a subsequent meeting of the coun- cil an ordinance was introduced and p: its first reading fixing the license for tion, bankrupt ana transient store ver day. Afterwards the auctione W. H. Allison, one of the proprietors of the store, were arrested for ringing an auction bell on the street. They gave bond sum of $200 and will stand trial. In judgment is against them in the local court, they will appeal to the circuit court. The disturbance has attracted much attention locally and will attract much more over the state, as similar questions are arising con- stantly. Salt Cure for Snake Bites. To prompt, heroic treatmeat for rattle snake bite John G. Fulton undoubtedly owes his life. He came from eastern Kansas to Pueblo to visit his son and traveled by wagon, says the Denver Times, When twenty-eight miles from town he was bitten by a rattlesnake and had no reg- ularly used antidote on hand, nor was he neara ranch. Having heard that common <alt was beneficial in such cases, however, he cut the flesh away for half an inch around the wound with his pocket knife and bound a handful of salt over it. He has since felt no ill effects from the poison and the wound is healing. Mr. Fulton killed quite anumber of snakes on his trip, one of which had thirteen rattles and & button, and anotber eleven rattles and the button. The reptile that bit escaped. An Arvesian Fizzle. The drill is down 740 feet in the insane hospital artesian well hole and is still being sent downward, says the Yankton Pr This is 140 feet deeper than Yankton's deepest flowing well, but the hole does not yet yield an artesian flow. Such is the situation in spite of the fact that the drill is now 175 feet into the water bearing rock— a formation that has never before failed to yield a great abundance of arte water. In wells heretofore made in this vicinity the water bearing rock has been from sixty to eighty feet in thickness and has sent upa strong flow after being penetrated half its tbickness. Conditions indicate that no flow can be produced at tbe hospital from the stratum which everywhbere else gives a strong supply of water. Nebrasku. A fire company is being organized at Wayne. A council of the National Union is being organized at Grand Island, A tent of the Knights of the Maccabees is to be organized at Ashland. A black wolf weighing forty-five pounds was killed near Merna last week. The Protestant pastors of Burt county have organized a county ministerial nsso- clation. George C. Granger, one of the oldest sottlers of Dakota county, died last week, aged 84 years. A coursing ¢lub has been organized at Wallace and it will hold a tournament Thanksgiving day. G. D.

While County Judge Belding of Pawnee City was climbing into & haymow he lost his balance and fell, severely injuring bis spine. he convention of the twelfth district Women's Christian Temperauce union at St. Puaul last week was interesting. Mrs. W. E. Morgan of Scotia was elected president of the district; Mrs, E. E. Post, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Mamio Claflin, recording secretary, and Mrs, M. J. Wilcox of Grand Island, treasurer. George Moseberger, from Louisville, and % man named Lupluntz, from Greenwood, serving sentences in the Cass county jail for stealing, picked three Jocks, pri up the floor in the county depariment, knoocked a hole in the wall and made their escape. A tramp followed them out and noufied the iler. No trae of eitherof the men has n found. A circle wolf hunt is soon to be organized in Sarpy county, in which every man and Doy in the couaty will be asked to partici- pate. Itis proposed to select some section of the county where wolves are most abun- dant and there encircle & given amount of territory so completely as Lo make impossi- ble the escape of the wolves. A commander- in-chiet will be chosen and captains ap- vointed for every sohool district. ‘Three sneak thieves, who give their names as Frank Martin, Frank Hill and William Doxhs. bave been arrested at Wayne, and had tneir preliminary examination before County Judge Martin. They were commitied o jailin default of $500 bonds each. In addition to a lot of plunder taken from werchants they had iu their about §8 in postage stawps, & lot of pocket kuives, three revolvers and & numl of silk bankerchiefs and muftiers.

Several have already lost stock, as the disease asserts itself as cool weather sets in. The & an Lake company is building a new dam to more effectuaily coufine the waters which are expected to find their way into the lake from the heavy snowfall which is expected this winter in the Hills. Ttis hoped the present dam will be watertight, and the lake will become one of the pleas- antest summer resorts in the laud. Colorado. Gold has been struck on the Alden farm at Garo, south of Como and ecast of r"airplay. A strike of ore runving from four to twelve ounces gold is reported in the fifth ievel of the Amethyst mine at Creeae. About 1,000 men are now at work in Aspen. The Argentum Juniata is talking of resump- tion. This would give employment to 200 more, Assays on specimens from a twenty-four- inch streak at Difticult camp, eighteen miles southeast of Aspen, show nine to twenty-one eunces gold The northern telephone circuit has been switched in and Fort Collins, Greeley and all the towns between these points and Boulder civen telephone connection with Denver. Eighty men are employed 1 the Revenue mine, Ouray. A tunnel is being run to meet the thirteenth level, decreasing the expense of taking out ore. It will be completed by February. More gold prospecting has been done in Summit county this summer than before in twenty years. Among the strikes are sev- on Red Peak which have $300 ore in shipping quantities. They will be worked next year. Four parties are preparing t ground on the Golden Crown placer in Sum- mit county during the winter. Tais property is attracting considerable attention, and the preparations made for winter work show great faith in the leased ground. Moody, generally known as “Moody, the goldbug,” this name being given to him be- cause he has discovered, located and sold gold claims and vrospects that have yielded over $40,000,000 in gold, has returned to Sum- mit county, after traveling avound for three years among all the gold camps in the Rocky mountain states and territories, and he says that Summit county is the best place on the North American continent for a gold miner and prospector, The surveying party swhich started out some three weeks ago to settle the conflict- ing claims of Eagle and Garfieid counties in reference to the western boundary line of Eagle county has completed its labors and the survey just completed is a decided re- lief, as definitely settling the vexed ques tion. The result of the expedition is the ac- quisition by Eagie county of considerable valuable ranching land and about two and one-half miles of ra d. adding about $25,- 000 a year to the county revenue.

The third shipment of oil has been sent to West Virginia by Judge McCalmont from the Rock creek wells. The purchasers re port finding it superior to lard oil for lubri- cating. The new Dillon coal mines are now down 200 teet and being pushed day and night. A superior quality of very hard coal is being taken out. Water has been encountered in great quantities, Garnets have meny times been found in Wyoming, and among them some besutiful specimens. A miner who bas been prospec ing twenty-five miles northeast of Laramie brought in a small sack full of the garnets. He found tb in a mineral ledge. Some of them were perfect specimens, Arapahoe Brown was shot and dauger- ously wounded by ex-Sheriff W. G. Angus av Buffalo. They had disagreed over a board bill on & matter of 50 cents.
