.

largo and cnthuslasil c crowd took a halfholiday yesterday to go out to McCormlckpark and sco the Lambs nnd Brewers tryconclusions again ,

And the people wore not sorry they madethe Journey , for they saw the homo team winono of the most brilliant nnd exciting con-

tests¬

over waged In these parts.-It

.

was n ''lavcii liinlnper.-Tno

.

day was again Just right for ball play-ing

-bright nnd breezy and the audience at-

tracted¬

to the purl : won n representative ono.And the ladles were there In goodly num-

bers¬

nnd transformed the usually forbiddinggrand stnnd into a bower of radiance nnd-beauty. .

Of the 2,000 people on hand every ono hadgone more to cheer Omaha on to victory , andthey did it-

.Milwaukee.

was royally wollopped.-In

.

the words of Count Tolstoi the gamewas n lily.

The Ilrcwors went into the light with thebest intentions in the world , but they dis-covered

¬

tliat Shannon's "Lambs were onlywolves In shocps1 clothing. They not onivused the stick with effect , hut played a field ¬

ing game that fairly sclntilllatod.-Kitcljorg's

.

pitching was superb.-Davis'

.was very good , too , on nn average ,

but Omaha irot his range Just nt the propertimes. Twltchell , Halligan , Sutcliffo , Shan-non

¬

, Walsh and Eltoljorp fairly plasteredthemselves with dust and glory-

.Sutcliffo.

drove in the llrst run , Halliganthe second and Walsh the third all of themearned good and solid.

Lot mo toll you that tbls is hall playing.Hut the bright particular star of the day

was Jimmy Donnelly. That boy has Justclambered up hand over hand into popularfavor, and tlio bleachers would dlo for him.His phenomenal stops nnd pickups and light-ning

¬

throws were of the indescribable order.Maybe Ids last achievement , tuning n red-hot

Hut In the exuberance of praise the Brew-ers

¬

must not bo overlooked. They wore inthe thickest of the fight from the openingpun to the last dying wail. Petit, Schoch ,Dalrymplo , Schrlver , and In fact the wholegang, played as if their lives were nt stake.

Ana poor Gush "He's in the asylum now. "There was another individual present at

the carnage also , and his name was KnightAlonzo Knight , the groat. His umpiring wasof the order that deserves commemoration ,bolncr as clean and perfect as such a diftlcult-plcco of work could be , and as impartial asthe sun Is to the earth.-

Ho.

is as impregnable to the roarings ofCaptain Schoch and his oleaginous lieuten-ants

¬

as ho Is to their blandishments orcoaxings.-

In.

n few words , ho is an umpire.But the picnic-.Twltchell

.

led off with a strike out and amurmur of incipient discontent oozed throughthe stands. They wore metamorphosed thenext Instant , however, Into n bubble of de-light

-by a safe drlvo by Colonel Hntllgan

from Buffalo. Then "Old Cy" Sutcliffo wasIntroduced. Ho took his position nt the pintoand swung back his telegraph polo llko it-

woodchopper at a rail-splitting match.Mr. Davlos , after taking n good look at him ,

aimed the sphere at his lower vest button ,

hut Instead of hitting the mark it How againstSilt's' club. The concussion sounded llko apeanut sack when yon blow It up and setdown on It , and while Mr Davlos was stillwondering what had happened the hall hadlanded among the loft Held carriages , Halli-gan

-was homo nnd "Old Cy" was blowing

his hollows on bag number two.You ought to have heard the mad shouts

that greeted this exploit.But the fun was short lived. Petit threw

McCauley out at llrst and Griflln filed toDungan ,

It was a profitless inning for the Brewers ,Burke , Petit and Schoch going out in rapidsecession , Donnelly making n miraculous onohand stop of Burko's vicious grounder , nndthrowing him oat nt Hivst , Walsh attendingto Bobby In nllko manner , and .Hintny get-ting

¬

In his elegant work a second time onlittle Georgia Schoch.-

In.

the second Manager Dan wont out frompitcher to llrst , but Walsh lined her out fora-counlo of acks and another eruption was im-minent

¬

iu the stands. But it didn't eruptworth a continental , for Donnelly hit one toDuugan and the big California ! ! , by a deftthrow , doubled Walsh up with him nt third.

For the visitors Dalrymplo filed out toHalligan , Campion made a slnglo and afterSchrivor's out to Twitchcll , Kltoljorg hitGrim a smash with the ball. But neitherman got homo , for Halligan made ono of thefinest catches you oversaw off of DunganMlong ily-

.And'how.

happy the people wero.Eitoljorg began the third by taking his base

on a Juggle by Mr. Schoch. A sacrifice byTwitchcll moved him up ninety feet , but inattempting to score on another ono by Halli-gan

¬

ho was caught at the plate.For the Brewers D.ivlcs struck out , nnd

Burke , after being presented with Jlrst onballs , was caught trying to steal second , andPotlt Illed out to McCnuley.

And the people were happier still.But n change came over their fair dreams

In the fourth , for after retiring the Lambsfor a blank, Milwaukee came in and by nllttlo lax playing on Omaha's part scoredtwo runs.

Actually , tlioy looked as big as houses tothe spectators , for they thought that theneony was over.

This Is the way they got these tallies.After Schoch had boon retired on a pop-u p

to Shannon , Dalrymplo took his base on ballsand Walsh's fumble sent Campion tlioro-also. .

The crowd looked glum , and glummer stillwhen Ettoljorg hit Scdriver nnd filled thebases-

.At.

this critical moment "Old Cy" can ghtSchrlver napping at llrst , nnd cut him off :then as the three runner. ) wore all betweenthe lines ttioro was ono of the funniestfox-aml-Rooso chases you over hoardof, but no good came of it nil. By somn hook-er crook , after cavorting up and down be-tween the bases for several moments , withthe Lambs all about thorn , every Ucor Jerkergot bac'.i to his base without bolng touched ,nnd the crowd as one man groaned :

"OhI oh ! oh !"Grim Death right hero made a single , a fit-

ting¬

cllnwx to the play Just made , and bothDulryinplu and Campion ran homo. Schrivor ,too. had the gall to trv and got in , but Donnelly got the ball and came within an IICH ofdislocating the big catcher's nook by the em-phasis

¬

with which ho put it on himtjchrlvo was awful mad , but there was no

help for It.Then there was n string of .shlrrod eggs up

to the seventh , when Omaha , amidst an up-roar

¬

of wild applause , lied the scoro. Whatmade It so nil-tired nlco was that U was doneafter two hands wore out.

Hero Is the story :

Donnelly and Kitcljorg wore quietly ro-tlrod

-, then Twitchell made a single and Hal-

Ilgan1-

drove him homo on a throo-baggor.It was ucloso call at thoplato , Lurry skating

in on his milled shirt half way from third tothe Plato ; but Mr. Kntgiit was right thereand ho cried "safe. "

The crowd yelled and stomped andtcroamcd , while Captain Schoch and hismerry imn fairly tore their hair.

Then the battle wnxud llorcor still , and notuntil the last man was out in ttio eleventhtuning would it have been safe to hot eitherway" .

It was one , two , tbrofl n the tenth for both:teams , but in the eleventh there was au ox-plosion.

-.

Captain Shannon was the first mau at batfor the hlto Sox. and with llttlo ceremonyhe belted out a three-bagger and tin ) crowd

;

yellml and laughed and clapped their handsns If In wild delirium , for they know thatanother run meant victory sweet , a wool vic ¬

tory.You V : or we are playing Milwaukee.W H. Walsh wai the next man up , nnd

"Now , .Too. hit her ont''" was the cry thatgreeted him from an Hundred throats.

And what did .losoy do )

Why , ho hit her out , so out that It made theBrewers turn palot

It was another thrco-snckor , but If youthink I'm going to try * to depict the scenethat ensued in the grand stand , you'ro fooled ,that's all.

Hut I wilt say that the crowd went all butdaft-

.It.

was so boautlful to do tlioso nasty Mil-waukcans

-, who had no llttlo regard for our

feelings lost summer.That hit was worth n trip toKuropc , and it

came Justin the Nlcodcmusof time , for thunext thrco men furnished easy outs.

The Brewers came in to do or dlo.They died , but game-.Dalrymplo

.

led off with n safe ono , and itbegan to smell llko brlmcstono right away ,but everything was inndo ns sweet as thebreath of Araoy in the same Instant , for Hal ¬

ligan after recovering the ball , throw Aimerout to Walsh , the old man having essayed tostretch his llttlo slnglo Into ndoublo.

Friday , .lack throw Dal out on third tiresnmo way , nnd hereafter you can bet thatlio'll have n very healthy rcs | oet for theyoung man from lirie'.s fair shores.

Campion followed with nn out to McCauleybut Schnver for the second tlmo hit theball , but ho had his pains , or pain rather fornothing , for Jimmy Donnelly took Grimes'rifleshot , and thu Brewers wore in thesewor-

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION GOLDmcni or incts. t omo 01 tuo early prospoo-tors

-hero had not had the bonollt of much ox-

porieuco-

in locating loads. In some in-stances

¬

they had never seen practical servicein the development of mineral llnds. Thatthose men recognized the value of the sur ¬face indications is but another proof of therichness of their .finds. Every ono in theparty appears to have boon impressed by thebelief that if they found any leads worthlocatintr they must bo gold-boaring. Goldnnd gold alone was what they expected tofind. So when a plcco of float was picked upthat returned 2OOU ounces to the ton In silverthey took it for granted that it came fromsomewhere else. They hunted for lodgesthat would prospect for gold and when suchwere lound they wore satisfied. That isonly ono incident of many that forms part ofthe history of the campaign which resultedin the establishment of this distr'ct.

Ono of the most notable of the early loca ¬

tions , Judged by the showing so far uiado ,was that of the Leviathan. It was struckwell up toward the crest of n high hill in thelast days of July of last year. The locationwas made by L. D. Chase , W. I. Frank nnaP. P. Woods. They staked off 1.150 feet in-a northeasterly direction from rich outcrop-pings

-and fifty feet to the southwest. Thereason they did not talco the full 1.500 foot towhich they wore entitled was because theysubsequently followed up the lead and tracedit along so that they were able to locate an-

other¬

claim adjoining ttio Leviathan on thenortheast cud. This is a full claim COO byl.BOO feet. The name , Little Giant , wasgiven to It and the locators were Woods ,IJrako and P. C. Arcndoll. Afterwards theLeviathan No. - was located to the southwestof the original Lovlathan and beginning at apoint fifty feet from the first strike extends1,500 feet to the southwest.

Likely to Find Silver There.These claims are important for tlio

reason that there uro evidences thatrich silver deposits are likely tobo found underlying the hill. Al-ready

¬

they prospect high up In sil-ver

¬

, although little woric has boon clone onany of the claims , except in the case of theLeviathan No. 1. On that a shaft has beensunk to a depth of 100 feet. On the surfacethis showed a well defined lodge fully six-teen

¬

foot wide. The owners went down onthe load , leaving a streak of quartz four orllvo feet wide to ono side. They timbereddown to u depth ot twenty feet , packing inpay dirt hack of the shaft , which is 4 by 7foot. Going down on the ledge matter tillthey had sunk seventy feet , they struck an-other

¬

streak of quartz. Leaving that to onoside , they continued down on au Incline witha slope of two' foot in ten. When theyreached a depth "of 100 foot they began pros-pecting

¬

for tbo load ! They are now engagedincross-cuttlngfitullnd out the width of theore body botwood iboth walls. Several goodveins hnvo boon found. Ono that variedfrom ono to two : and nearly three foot wasfollowed for upwards of sixty foot as theshall was sunlc ; 'Other well defined veinsfrom two Inches to a footer moro werestruck.

Save for a shorttdistanco all the roclc takenout of the Leviathan shaft shows rich In gold.Whore the woijlfuwas stooped there woregood indciatlons of, ijilver. It looks as thoughcarbonates mighTIn ) found on the lower lev-els

¬

, There majUbd a cessation of work onthis claim for a while for it is reported thatChose , ono of thetQriglnal locators , has partedwith his intercit tp L.

Cliaso is knownto have boon itf'titgotlation with pcoplo whohave becii Impros'itd by the good showingmade by the Lc'iiihthiin the deeper the shaftwas sunk. This those folks saw fqr them ¬

selves. The Otras mining company also hasn conditional interest in the claim. By theterms of the bargain made with this companyit will bo required to prosecute tbo develop ¬

ment work energetically and provide a millfor the treatment of the oro.

Practical Test* to Ho Made.Interest , therefore , Is naturally centered In

the Leviathan , because whatever the de-velopment

¬

company propose to do will bo do-pondcnt largely on the report hereafter to bomade by practical men, who will make Ittbolr Dusluess to canvass the chances of goodreturns to bo made oa the investment neces-sary.

¬

. All that the bravo fellows want whohave pinned their faith on the future import-ance

¬

of this camp is to have the loads workedhonestly. If there is any borrowing done toexpose ore bodies to bull tbo piico of claims ,It will bo by speculators-to

who have been ableget a foothold hero when necessity forced

locators to part with an Interest to keepthemselves n going.

This early no prediction * ought to bo has-nrdcJ

-as to the probable character of t.ho

cnmp. Hut with indication !! no encouragingas those found In the Leviathan It would boreckless on the part of its owners to ignorethem or to delay for long its development.The approaching .WHOM will , under tbomost favorable conditions , bo n short ono forthe sort of work requisite in determiningwhether gold or silver will bo the predomin ¬

ating mineral to bo extracted from the hills.When proper provision ha* been made for Itthe mines that limy bo developed can boworked all the year around. IJut what theowners should llrst satisfy themselves aboutis as to the kind of workings they have todeal with so that machinery can bo broughtIn before it Is too Into-

.Vhlletho.

Lovlathan promises much in theway of solving vexed problems the naturallocution of the Llttlo Giant or Leviathan No.U may afford means for an earlier determina ¬

tion of the extent and character of the orebodies In that neighborhood , The LittleGiant now has merely n prospect hole on It ,ten foot deep. Kook taken out at that depthshows moro tlmn a trnco of silver. It pannedout well in gold from the grass roots down.If returns on the rook are not misleadingthorn Is assuredly gold in paying quantitiesAs for the Leviathan No. 'J , that possessessome special advantages for prospect work.Some ItOO foot from the shaft house of theLuvlatiinn a tunnel has been driven. Themen went in with It twenty-two foot on nnortheast and southwesterly course ana theappearance constantly Improved , They haveboon encouraged to continue thework and will undoubtedly devotetheir attention to It when they arefree to suspend prospecting on the Leviathan.

Another Treasure llouio.Another group of claims that shows up

well llo on the lilll above the postoflluu. TheLaramlo has n sixty-foot tunnel which showsup a four-foot lead. The farther it has beendriven ttio morn cneoura lng have been theindications. Work on the Laramlo has beensystematically done. Thu claim extends 500feet cast and 1,1)03) foot west from whcroprospecting began. About ono hundred feetbovomi the mouth of the tunnel a shaft hasboon put down ton foot. The work turnedout so well that the tunnel was started andwiioii they are Joined there will bo a goodopportunity afforded for rapid developmentw irlc.

North of the Laramie tunnel , 200 foot , Isthe Little Honatiza , and parallel to it. Thatlias a llfty-foot shaft with a twelve or thlr-tjocnfoot -lead. Good prospacU have been

ftnd all the ,vay down and now the rock looksbetter than it lias at any previous time. TheGold Hill , south of the tunnel , 1ms only boonprospected to a depth of ten or twelve feet.

At the surface it looked so well that Its de ¬

velopment would have been pushed couldprovisions for that work have been mado.But the locators had to quit work on asovon-foot load without getting one wall. There isa cross load known ns the Jack Pine located500 feet west of the Laramie tunnel. Suf ¬

ficient work 1ms not been done on the JackPine to properly estimate the value of theclaim , although copper carbonates nrosaid to have been found in the pros ¬pect shaft. Parallel to the LlttloBonanza is the Snow Flake , whichin a twctity.foot shaftshowcd up promisinglyand from which rich rock was taken out.

All of these claims were located by AlexLute , Domtim Poutro and E. J. Lewis. Theysold the Snow Flake to L. G. Davis , Carboncounty's representative in the state legisla ¬

ture. Larnmlo people hnvo purchased an in ¬

terest in the Llttlo Bonanza and are waitingto mniso n mill-run on the ore before decidingto what extent its development will bo car-ried

¬

: , In the Jack Pine , V. C. Ferguson , whoruns the stage line from Saratoga to GoldHill , has acquired nn Interest. He Is so snn-gulno

-as to its ultimate high commercial

value that ho has refused n sum which mightbo regarded ns excessive for a mere pros ¬

pect. But ho did not act on his own judg ¬

ment ns to the desirability of holding onto it ,being guided by the advice of an experiencedmilling man-

.In.

the neighborhood of Greene's camp ,which is the present terminus of the stageline , are several promising claims. Tho. AcmeIs down fifty feet or moro and is showing In ¬

dications of carbonate. Its appearance hasbeen encouraging all the way down , nnd theload shows a number of veins varying in-thickness. . The rock makes gratifying re

turns. Work was recently started on the En-tcrprlso

-, which having boon squared up andtimbered , Is now lu good shape for energetic

development ,lUnoh Work Already Dono.

There are only n few of the many claimstaken up. Up to the present tlmo eighty-twohave been recorded. As the Wyoming lawrequires that n ten-foot hole mustbo put down before this formality canlegally bo carrlo ; ! out , it is rcaionnblo toInfer 'that nt loait this nmouiit of work hasIn each case been done In compliance withthe law. Therefore , It will bo soon thatenough has already been done to demonstratewhether or not there is mineral hero.

So far ns I have boon nblo to learn there isnot A slnglo Instance whcro the nppoarancoof a le.ul has not Improved the farther downon it the owners have gone. That Is noticea ¬

bly the case with the Omaha , which has justbeen surveyed after a shaft was sunk. Thatis the property of W. B. Hugus & Co. , inwhich Messrs. Heals , Mulllson anil others nroInterested. Ono of the moro recent strikeswas that in the ! Volghtlund owned by U. P.Arcndoll and Messrs. Mngoo mid Murkul ,

That prospects well and some rich specimensnro reported to have boon taken out , but 1

have not soon them. This is encouraging ,for it is tlmucht that the Volghtlaud Is an ex ¬

tension of tho.Lovlathau.Some mention ought to bo nindo of theBuckeye , on Gold Uun , located about n milo

from the postofllco and Just below the Patentlilght , the Jlr.st , claim located lu the now dis ¬

trict last .summer. To B. P. Arondoll belongsthe credit of the original find which startedall the excitement that has boon created.Both of those claims nnd several In that Im-mediate

¬

vicinity prospect well ,Tlu- Wyoming is the claim which has fur-

nished¬

most of the rich specimens that havehelped to advertise the district among thosewho have not had n chance to como hero to-sco for themselves what has been found.That is as yet merely n prospect. It has boonsnowed under lor some time nnd n per-sonal Inspection of the 14-font shaftran not bo made now. The Wyomingrock that has been exhibited ismarvelously rich. Those who hud an oppor ¬

tunity for investigating it are all unanimousin the belief that the big vein from whichsuch richness was taken out is not likely topinch out , but that a strong llssuro vein hasbeen uncovered. The ownership to thisclaim has bct'n so largely Increased as to thenumber of ititorost.s that it is dlfllcult to hooptrack of all the holdings in It. If the Wyoming continues as goo , ! n claim as It hashitherto prospected , enough mineral can betaken out to enrich the owners.Guarding Against DUHoiiNious ,

OF HILL

has already boon made in a previ-ous

¬

nrtlclo to the voluntary agreementamonc the miners to restrict their claims tosmaller dimensions than they wore entitledunder the United States milling laws. Theyagreed to take 150 feet on each side of theload , instead of ,' !UO foot. That was to avoidcontentious that wore liable on account ofthe crowding of the loads tosrethor.Some question arose as to the rightof ono or moro of the owners of tlio Wyomingto bind their associates to this agreement towhich then- assent had not boon asked. An-other

¬

lead was found a few days iigo' J5 footfrom the Wyoming shaft. To avoid troubleor complications of any sort , It Is understoodthat some of the owners of the claim have nl-roudy

-consented to deed tbo property oiitido-

of the 150-foot limit to the finders of tbo nowlead , In law probably the Wyoming ownerscould claim all of the ! t)0( ) feet guaranteedthem under the United States laws. Butit is Indicative of the spirit of the camp thatsuch proffers of concessions such as thatnamed should bo mado-

.I'lnoky.

SiirvcyorH Work.Another fortunate thing has been done

which will have a tendency to prevent , or ntany rate lessen , the possibilities of litigation.That was the erection of n monument towhich claims can bo tied and their dellnlto-location determined. Only n plucky surveyornnd ono experienced in mountain work wouldhave dared undertake the task which CharleyBellamy of Laramlo e-of for himself. Ho is-an old-tinier and favorite among Wyomingminors. The difllciiltics encountered in hunt¬ing lor section corners In n wilderness ofsnow ton to llftccn feet deep on a level , withbig drifts scattered abou1. indiscriminately

can only Iw appreciated by a far-western sur¬

veyor. Hut Hcllamy started out to do thatand ho didn't give up till ho had succeeded.This having been accomplished a t'nltodStates land mark rfas erected. It Is In thesoutheast quarter of what will bo section 0 ,or to bo exact , feet south of the centerof the north boundary of the township , wlltcfrl-.s -six nnd n quarter miles long , The menu ¬

ment is mnrkcd on the accompanying map ,pmimrcd oxprtssly for Tnr. HKB bv Mr.nellamy. Township 10. In which Oolil Hiltis situated , lias been survcved , but not soo-lionized.

-. Without doubt that work will

done as soon ns the snow goes off, Hut Itwill not make much difference , for the pies-cut nt least , If the divisions have not boon de¬fined. The law provides that iwhoroclaims nro located moro than twomiles from n section comer thormay bo tied to some monumentwhoso location has been accurately delimit.As most of the claims In the district sirfnr-taken ii ] ) nro moro than two miles from tliosection corners the monument is all that Uneeded to describe thorn.

Surveyor Hotlamy has boon engaged forseveral weeks insurveying claims , and thiswork will keep him busy for ten days ormoro to como. Since n rush of prospectors Isexpected these safeguards are rendered almost un absolute necessity to claim owners ,who appreciate the necessity for havingtheir property accurately laid olT. Hut theiraction is in the line of evidence that tends toprove that Gold Hill Is bound to become agood camp. Giomm: T. CAMS.
