WYOMING NOTES. ?r";" i Laramie Republican: It is reported that W. W. l.reese, who has beon sink-ing an artesian well on the ranch of Oliver Mansfield, fourteen miles out, on the Big Laramie, has struck natural gas in a larger quantity than has here-tofore been found on the plains, and that there is every indication that thera is a large amount of tit her natural gas or oil near at hand. The following from the Saratoga Lyre would indicate that the name of Gold Hill has been changed; "Aren-dal- e, the poetical name applied to Gold Hill, nestles on the brow of the Snowy range among the cloud capped towers and lofty pyramids, overlooking the fairest city of Wyoming. Mountain, torrents and babbling brooks, trickling and leaping from mountain glaciers into crvstal lakes meander through for-ests primeval down to tho Platte." The Cheyenne Sun of Thursday con-tained tho following editorial items "There was considerable qniet discus-sion among the members of the legisla-ture yesterday regarding tho proposi-tion to elect a governor ly vote of the joint assembly and there was a strong disposition manifested to select a resi-dent of Albany county. In addition to Edward lvin'son, other names were mentioned, more especially Meldrum and Col. S.W. Downey." NEW MEXICO NOTES.

The Santa Fe New Mexican hints at a peculiar condition of affairs in the territory when, in an exhortation to the legislature, it says: "Pass a law providing for tho establishment of the office of county surveyor and for the survey of all lands and real estate in the se'veral counties. It is about time that something modern wore done in that direction." Judge Seeds has decided in the Santa Fe election muddle, that he has no authority to punish the sheriff for re-leasing the county co mmissioners whom he had committed for contempt.

Tho Rico News is now a straight-ou- t republican paper, what it should havo been during the late campaign. It is a melancholy fact that accord-ing to the Gazette five residents of Colo-rado Springs got drunk on Than ksgiv-in- g day. An effort will bo made to increase tho number of judicial districts in Colorado by tho next legislature. The Sixth and Seventh are certainly too large and should be divided.

M. Ricketts, and ho wanted the books opened at Kansas City as well as Salt Lake. Colonel Donncllan made the practi-cal suggestion that a paospectus of the road and its resources be published. K. M. Washburne said that ho and his colleagues were anxious to help the project along and that the Idaho men would build the line from Harloy. Secretary Gillespie suggested that the city bedivided Into districts for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions. The committee was increased to soven and now stands as follows: West, J. M. Hicketts, Fred Simon, II. M. Wells, H. L. A. Culnior, N. Tre- - wenlr nnH F. Tf Anerhneh. The men who build cities gathered at the chamber of commerce rooms last evening to lend a hand to help on the Utah is Idaho railroad. There never was a scheme offered our people that promised half as much. A dozen rail-roads to southern California would not open up as great field of local resources as that which lays along the path of tho proposed line. Tho money paid for freight on lumber by tho citizens of this city exceeds that paid for all other products combined. The timber belt on the Idaho line is ene of tho richest in the western coun-try and as Mr. Washburne, viewing the country with iho critical eye of an investor gave it as his opinion that the timber was better in quantity and qua'ity than that of Michigan, Wis-consin or Minnesota. As these belts have made not less than lifty men millionaires, tho resources of the coun-try along the line of the Utah & Idaho road is illimitable. At the meeting last night Major Wilkes, the engitieer-in-cliie- f of the line, who has been familiar with the couutry for years and who has made many survevs reports mat ttio un can be built in Utah for from $3000 to $5000 less than in Idaho. West said it was neces-sary for the company to incorporate for $250,000. "Salt Lake." he said, ' could well afford to donate $500,000 to$l,000,-000- , but that all that it was necessary to subscribe was 9250,00!). The benefits to be derived from securing the road were incalculable to mining men, real estate dealers, property owners and all who were interested in Salt Lake. Idaho would ship all their ore to Salt Lake and get their supplies here. This railroad would belong to Salt Lake and Idaho." Colonel Bryan of Hailey spoko en-thusiastically for tho project. Mr. Washburne gave a graphic ac-count of tho immense resources of the couutry that would be tapped by the new line. Fred Simon, who is always alive to the benefits of any new enterprise that is practical and feasible, said he would subscribe as much as any man in ,the room. George A. Lowe thought the citizens would meet the emergency. N. Treweek said that the people of this citv do not display the enterprise they should when great opportunities present themselves. "Put your shoulders to tho wheel and the capital will come. Denver didn't waitforout-sid- e capital and why should wo. Down east where I have been they talk of Og-de- n because Ogden talks of herself and takea the initiative step without a dol-lar in sight. Salt Lake needs a littlo stirring up-- a railroad revival meeting 6ueh as we have here tonight. Mayor Scott said that the assessed valuation of the property of Salt Lake A NEW STRIKE. A DUcIuiure That Trove, th. Continuity of th. Mammoth Vein. Colonel A. W. Smith of the John P. Jones and Henry M. Teller mining claims of Tiutio Miuiug district is in the city and report everything boom-ing in his locality. In the properties over which be presides a new strike has" heen made recently that proves, it is claimed, beyond all speculation the continuity of the lime horizon along a stretch of thirty miles from Mammoth to Mount Mclntyre. In the Jones and Gelder claims the geo-logical structure is found to be identi-cal with that of the celebrated Mam-moth, while the ores are said to yield as much as to the ton. The disclos-closur-in these properties are regarded as one of the most important that has been registered this season, and it is especially interesting as showing the extent of the mother vein. Colonel Jones has put himself under the hos-pitalities of Mr. Pbilpot, who is making his stay exceedingly pleasant, if not thrilling. THE FAIll LILLIAN. MEN FIGHT KOR HER WOUNDED INNOCENCE. Lonl Scharrar Say lie Wm Knocked Down by Kellt'jr, Kicked by Mayherry and Smashed With a Hear Giant bytha Fair Lillian. Louis Scbarrar called at The Times otlieo, exhibited the scars he received in a fracas in the Walker House cafe, said be bad fallen in with a set of toughs and had been knocked down with a chair, kicked when down and his scalp opened by a beer bottle in the hands of the woman in the case. Not only this, but ho was charged with having pulled a pistol, a weapon that he never car-ried. His heart was heavy, and being a stranger in a strauge land, being an Australian, he desired to make a state-ment. He had met Ed. Kelley and took kindly to him, but the and was not yet, as will be seen from his story. "I was drinking at the end of the bar before retiring for tho night," he said, "whon this man Mayberry called rne into the little room just under the stairs. I walked in thinking it was for a little sociability, when he closed the door. After he closed the door on mo there were in the room, Lillie Dale, who boards at Cheyenne Lizzie's, and Ed Kelley, the saloon keeper, who also sports a gambling room. Mayberry ac-cused mo of having spoken in very bad terms of this woman Lillie Dale, and I noticed ho grew livid in the face when making the accusation and meant some foul play. Having had considerable experience in traveling and suspecting treachery I thought I would have to be discreet, I told him he must be either mad or dreaming. He kept insisting that I should repeat tho words I had said to him about this "lady" as he called her. L said then that neither he nor all the bullies in Salt Lake City could forco me into say-- , ing what I had never said. Kelly gave the nod as much as to say 'go for nim,' when Mayberry let fly into my face. When I found lie didn't havo a weapon I struck him back and he dropped. He was no sooner down than this woman hit me from behind with a beer bottle and glass. I said here Kelly you have always professed to be my friend, are you going to see me murdered by these people? He replied you bugger I'll do you up with them and started iu to punch me and opened up on me. I hit him in the stomach when he raised a chair and felled me to the floor. I was stunned by the blow and three of them, including the fair Lillie, started iu kicking me. The bar tender came to my rescue, and he says since that he saved me from being killed. Mr. Scharrer says that the report that he had a revolver is false, and that he never carried one at any time during his existence. Mr. Scharrer says that he is selling dry goods, and refers to Edward Cone who knew bira for two years in New York city. He also refers to Mr. Alex. Wyatt, the Main street jeweler who has known him for tw enty years, and many others. MAIN STREET BLOCKADES. CaiMad by tha rractlca of Hitching: Tumi Along- - th Sidewalk, While Main street is a broad thor-oughfare, it is almost as impassable as Broadway, New York, where the traffic is a hundred times larger. The trouble with Main street is largely due to the practice of hitching terms along the sidewalk, which belongs to a small-size- d village rather than to a city that is already boasting of its metropolitan proclivities. Then there are telephone poles set as far as six feet outside of the curb line that takes up twelve feet of the street space. Tbu habit ot driv-ing without system, zigzagging across the street also causes unnecessary blockades to travel. The system of keeping to the right needs to be en-forced. Main street is wide enough to accomodate the street traffic of a city of many million people and that there should be any stampede at all is due to stupidity and carulessnes. Tho acci-dent by which the chief of the tire de-partment came near losing his life was caused by the nuisance of hitching teams along the curb line. MR. JOHNSTON'S LOCK- - He Strike a Selitl Streak in tha Sainpion and I Oleeful. j Go hunt the city over, and if you find a happier man than Mr. James John-ston of No. 208 South Main, bring him to The Timks office. Mr. John-ston's good spirit is caused by the fact that ho struck or in the Sampson at Bingham yester-day morning. The carbonate curres between SO and 60 per cent lead, several ounces of silver, and a trace of gold. Mr. Johnston went in tho lovel 250 feet, sunk down 120, and drifted 170 feet, whon a fourteen inch solid streak was struck. He is under the impression that it is the same vein as No. 2. The gentleman is so contident of it that Mr. Ed Egan of No. 2 bet a suit of clothes that Mr. Johnston would not break into his works. FICHTINC THE TAX. There wa a Meeting In the Eleventh School Diatriot Lat Evening-- . Tho end of tax litigation Is not yet. Stephens & Shroeder, who represent-ed the tax payers of thp Eleventh School district in tho rocent litigation, are bent on carrying it to the supreme court, and directed a letter to their clients asking them to stick together, and as an inducement to make them stick, promised that the expenses will be nominal.
