The Bee-

.Custer.

City , D. T , January 9.The town Is very much excited overan organized attempt made byminers from the north to "jump"-eome of the' best claims on- BattleCreek in the npper or Harney Dis-trict.

¬

. There is no doubt about thefact that they are very rich claims ,and eomeof the owners-will un-

doubtedly¬

fight before they will givethem up to the "jumpers. " Thereis the greatest chance in the worldfor cheating and rascality in a newmining district if the recorder is dis-posed

¬

to do it. A recorder can re-

cord-

claims to' Smith , Jones orBrown , or all three of them , audthen record a transfer ef the claimsto himself , by stating what the con-sideration

¬

was and when he ob-

tained¬

It. The old miners aroundDeadwood are coming downby scores, and the immigra-tion

¬

Irom the south and east has in-

creased¬

greatly since the holidays.-We

.shall certainly have lively times

here during the next four months ,and blood Is sure to be shed beforethe conflicting parties can adjusttheir differences.

Nearly five hundred teams are re-ported

¬

between Custer and Chey-enne

¬

, but this is , of course , an exag-geration.

¬

. A large number are alsoreported on the (Sidney route , butnothing definite with regard to theirnumbers can be ascertained. Aline-of stages will be running from Cus-ter

-to the new mines in a week

from the date of this letter, andJohn Featherstun , division super-intendent

¬

of the C. & B. H. stageline , informed me to-day that thecompany would put on a line inabout two weeks from this timeOne toll road is finished to Harney ;another will be opened to Hay wardin' loss than a month. A heavysnow storm day before yesterdaycovered the ground to a depth ofabout five inches. It is over a footdeep on Harney's Peak and Look-out

¬

mountain , and over two feetueep on Crow Peak and Inyan-Kiara , and about the same at Dead-wood

-, BO we shall have plenty of

water in the spring-.Today

.

1 saw the most enormouselk that it has ever been my lot to-witness. . Prank Smeth , the hunterthat shot him , placed his feet on-9ne point of one antler and justtouched the other with the top ofhis hat as the royal animal lay on-iiia Slue oil the' ground. Thatsounds large , I know , but any of-3chlining's men here will confirmthe statement.

Beef is very scarce in Custer atpresent , and costs from 16c to 20c a[ ound at retail. Pork , fresh , sellsit 20 cents , aud elk and veni-on

-at from twelve to fifteen. Flour

is very plenty , and I bought a lot ofColorado on the street yesterday atseven dollars a bundled in BattleUreek dust at twenty dollars an-junce. .

Henry Homan has brought in-lome specimens of gold quartz fromlis lead near Point of Hocks , whichie will take to Omaha to be as-sayed. . He starts to-morrow , butixpects to return m a few weeks to-peu it up and work it. The quartzooKs very rich , and Mr. Homaneels confident that .he has got a bighing on bis bands. The rock is-

irown in color, considerably de-lomposed

, and is full of tiity yellowpecks. c-

anch near Mountain City last p-

reek. . They -have been prospectdog up thereTand he says they have I-

he citizens here received a letter trom Crawford last week. He was clien in Connecticut connected withome kind of a theatrical troupe , e-

Ye have considerable tiouble ubout our press dispatches here , therfro being prostrated about one-bird of the time between Cheyennend Custer.

An.

express line has gone into op-

eration¬

between Custer and Hay-ward

-, on Battle Creek , since my

last letter went down. We havegreat difficulty about our mails here ,and all our letters and papers areiu-vonably

-delayed from one week to-

twentythree days between Omahaand Custer. We generally leceivethem in a bunch when they finallyarrive. The Sidney company runtheir stages to u station abomt onemile east of Buffalo Gap , where an-

The wagon trains continue to ar-

just across the street fromthe office. The boys are very bois-terous

¬

The party now owning the Dis-covery

claim , in Harney district ,seut two of their number on thestampede to Wolf mountain earlyin the winter ; one of the men hasreturned , and reports that the otherwas killed away to the north of In-yan

¬

Kiara. It was done by somedisappointed miners who thoughtthat he had a considerable quantityof dust about his per0ou. A partyhap gone m search of the murderers ,

but tney are probably safely secretedby this time. The Custer SocialClub was organized here the fore-part of this week , with W. D. Gard-ner

¬

, formerly of the First .NationalBank of Omaha , as president. Theymeet every Thursday evening , andyou will see by this that we do notlack for amusements here. Wehave had a charter election , and atax sale in the city recently. Thevoters used printed tickets for thefirst time and any amount ot elect-ioneering

¬

was done by the opposingfaction. The lots sold tolerably wellat the tax sale but no high figureswere reached. WINCHESTER-

City , Jauuary 17. Onthe 15th inst.Chief Justice Schaeflermade a ruling in favor of Mr. Hunt-er, in the Flagscaft mining caseand,

granted an order restraining Messrs.Patrick and Davis from interferingwith the new management of themine. In the concluding paragraphof the ruliug his honor says : "Ihold , therefore , that the parties whocontracted with Davis and Patrick ,had no right to restrain the corpo-

ration¬

from removing Patrick , upon*a proper case "malleflor T r godacause shown , and to confer almostunlimited power upon Davis tomanage and control the company'ssuperintendent aud manager , thaton the contrary I think the corpor-ation had the right to removePatrick for good cause , aud havingexercised that right, claiming tohave good cause , this court will notrestrain it , if at all , unless it clearlyappears t'uat there has been a grossabuse of authority. " The attorneysof Messrs. Patrick and Davis areworking to act the ca e before thesupreme court of the Territorywithin a few days , so as to have auearly decision on the question. It-is reported on our streets ILat wheuthe news of Judge Hcuaeffer's de-

cision¬

reached London , Flagstaffshares darted up from twelve toeighty shillings per share.

The case of the notorious John D.Lee ii set down fjr Monday next onthe docket of the Supreme Court.Should the judgment of the lowercourt be confirmed the prisoner willdoubtless appeal to the SupremeCourt of the United States at Wash-ington

¬

, as allowed by the Polandbill. If the decisions of the localtribunals are not reversed , or thecase sent back for a new trial , itwill be the next thing to a miracle ,as that has been almost without ex-

ception¬

the result with cases fromUtah , that have been appeal-ed

-to the highest tribunal in

the land. The lack of confidencein the judgment or fairness of U. tt.judiciary in Utah shown by Con-gress

¬

in the passage or the appelateclauses of tae Poland Dill , has beenshown to be fully Justified by thedecisions of the Supreme Court ,which , with one exception , enoughto prove the rule , have almost in-variably

reversed the judgments ofour local Supreme Court. This Po-land

.

.- .* ,f * rfmorning information was receivedat the A. & P. telegraph office inthis city , that the Western Unioncompany had organized a large forceof men in the oil regions for thepurpose of destroying the wires andpoles of the Merchants .Nationaltelegraph company , which were be-

ing¬

operated by the Western Unionunder a lease acquired by the recentconsolidation o'the Pacific and At-lantic

¬

lines. This lease being aboutto expire , the wires which extendthrough the oil regions would revertto the control of the opposition Co.The Western Union company , it issaid , preferred a suit for damagesrather than toallow these importantconnections to fall in the bauds oftheir opponents , and proposedtaking advantage of the adjourn-ment of court and the absence of thejudges on Saturday , and completethe work of destructiou before aninjunction could be had to restrainthem. In this , however , they werebaflled , as the Atlantic & Pacific of-

ficers¬

employed the most eminentcounsel in Pittsburg and had an in-

junction¬

issued in the chambersthrough the presiding judge , Ewing ,

at 6 p. m. , and served the same onall the officials in this city that couldbe founi' , and telegraphed copies ofthe sam to all points in the oil re-

gions¬

, me Congers being sent out en-trains io get off at different pointsand take the road with horses insearch of the gangs , armed withthis injunction , and following theirtrail by the work of destruction.One party had cut down the polesand destroyed the wire for sevenmiles before the messenger overtookthem 'and stopped the outrageouswork. All the wires between Frank-lin

¬

and Oil City were about de-

stroyed¬

, and probably at otherpoints not yet heard from. The su-

perintendent¬

of the Western Unioncompany having absented him-self

¬

from the office in Pitts-burg , he could not be personallyserved with the papers , though hissubordinates , wherever found , weresupplied with copies before 8 p. m. ,

and as the work of destruction be-

gan¬

at i a. m. , there seems likely tobe.seriouH litigation over the affair ,which niusl SSaUlt finally to the" ad-vantage

¬

The President , iu conversationthis mornlug with a fnendt * aidthat the compromise bill to settlethe Presidential question was , inhis opinion , as far ca could be madeto both sides , fie tbougiit it wouldpass Congress by a decided majority ,in which case he would uadoubted-ly

-sign It. The very popular man-

ner-

in which it had been receivedby the people of both politicalparties was to his mind a sure indi-cation

¬

that they were detenniued-to have a peaceful ssttleraeut of thepresidential question. The factthat this bill was popular with themasses and also received the sup-port

¬

of eminent men of both partieswould no doubt relieve iu a greatmeasure the anxiety under whichthe country had labored since the7th of JNovember. The presidentreferred to a conversation he hadheld some weeks since on this sub-ject

, wherein he expressed the opin-ion

¬

that no trouble would grow outof the Presidential question , but. onthe contraiy , he had an abidingfaith that it would be settled peace-fully

thority¬

, and that no matter wherethe power to count votes is lodged ,Congress has the right to regulatethat power.

The Herald also says it is propos-ed

¬

to call a meeting of the bar asso-ciation

¬

of tbls city to give expressionto the opinion of its members on theconstitutionality of the electoral billnow before Congress ,
