M. IV. SuUon yesterday resigned the of
fice of County Attorney of Ford county.
A petition signed numeronaly has been
prewnted to Judge Strang asking that Thos.
S. Jones be appointed to Oil the vacancy.
Mr. Sutton has held the office since 1876,
and was three times elected lo the position.
The first comiction and rentetice to the pen
i'enliary frome Ford county was msde by
him as County Attorney. He has faithfully
discharged the duties of the office for fix
years past, and gives up the trust on sccount
of his increasing law buibes,which requires
his ucdivided attention. Mike can congratu
late hiimelf on the record he has made as
county attorney and the success which haa
also attended him as practicing attorney.
Few young men hare earned a reputation in
so short a time through their own efforts un
aided and alone. Having an extensive and
lucrative law practice he can afford to resign
the empty honor of an office.
Jndge Strang appointed Col. Thomas S.
Jones County Attorney, vice M. W. Sutton
resigned. Colonel Jones is an experienced
lawyer and will discharge the duties of the
office faithfully and satisfactorily. He haa
before held a similar position, and this
knowledge will give him prestige at once.
The Colonel's aflable manners nukes him
hosts of friends. Tney congratulate him up
on his appointment.

The prairie fire that burned over a part of
Sheridan and Rswlirs counties Iat week,
finally drifted into Colorado, though it was
still burning when the snow and sleet storm
came, which latter had a dampening eflrct
upon it- Scores of miles of territory were
burned over, but fortunately there were no
settlements to be harmed by it. It wss the
largest prairie fire that ever occurred in the
State, beyond doubt, and is said to have
originated from a spark from a Kansas Pa
cific locomotive.
Some fellows in Dodge are pretending to
eat crow on the County Attorney appoint
ment. There are some men who are always
hovering around like carrion looking lor
diseased meat. If they get a dish of crow
occasionally it ought to appease their appe
tites.

Tax Gektbcbe Mise. Tfce IXdge Coy
Mining Company owns an exten'iin of the
Gertrude mine, and the following from tl e
Park County Balletic, publiobed at Alma,
Colo., will te read wilt, interrstby those in
terests I, and the frienda of those who have
intereiis in the Djdje City Mining Cum
pany: On tevtral occasions we have been shown
very rich ore from this mine. The lichee!
we have yet seen was brought from tLe mine
a few day sirce by Mr. I!ub, the tuperin
tendent. It is a very fine quality of quaitt
studded with frevgtld, and showings large
per centage of silver as well. It is taken
from an eighteen inch streak which was de
veloped some werVs ago. The ore then
scanned through the rock for three feet.
It is now condensed into a "ell defined streak
of eighteen to twenty inches and is very
much richer.
The mifte i opened by three tunnels, ore
above the other on the vein lengthwiw. The
upper on i 150 feet Ion and 30 feet betow
the surface. The eeco&d is 100 feu le'ow
the upper, and ia 220 feet leng. while the
thiid is 120 feet below the second and is K0
feet long. In the upper tunnel the vein m
from three to four feet thick the entire length
of the tunnel. Two and a half feet U silver
ore which carries from 100 lo200 ounces per
ion, while the remainder of the vein is a free
gold ore mentioned? In the face of Ibis
tunnel the vein is wider and richer than it
was farther back, and is rapidly increasing
in width and value.
One hundred feet in thin tunnel from the
mouth, a winte has been started to connect
with the lower tunnels. In it the vein ia the
same widib. In the poriion carrying gold,
black oblong boulders from the size of a
walnut to the size of an egg are found be
tween the wall and vein. They have the
appearance of hiving worn round oi oblong
from friction. When broken open the flee
gold is discernable witb the eye. In the
mii'dle tunnel the vein is three to four feet
wide of same grade silver ore as in upper
tunnel, the ore showing free gold liberally
distributed through it. Two hundred feet
from the mouth of the tunnel a pocket ten
feet long and five feet thick of soft decom
posed f re was atruck, which yielded largely
in gold in the pan.
In the lower tunnel the vein is from three
to four test wide and higher grade in sil
ver than in the other two, and runs wel' in
gold.
To winze will be driven down to the
lower tunr.tl and ore taken from upper tun
nels brought to the surface through the lower
oae. The present development, allowing
an average ol two feet of ore and $100 per
too which is the lowest test of silver so far,
and not calculating the gold, tnere are up
wards of $300,000 shown. Tatre is probably
doubly as much gold as silver.
The company are woiking a force of eigh
teen men and are pu'hing development work
on as fa't as possible. They will build a
twenty stamp mill early in the spring, one
fourth of a mile below the mine, to which
they will deliver the ore by a tramway.
There are between 1,500 and 2,000 tons of
ore on the dumps which will mill at least
$180 per ton.
The building and repairing at Camp Sup
ply, io contemplation for this spring, U to
begin on the first day of April and the ap
propriation for the same is $10,000.
Why should Vennor annoy the people
with his predictions of heavy snowstorms in
April while it is still February? Such fore
bodings are not pleasant to contemplate.
