The La Plata Miner reports
another rich discovery in San
Juan. This time the lucky finder
is Charles Gibbons, and the find is
second to none in the country for
richness Of silver from the very sur
face. Last week Mr.. Gibbon, ac-
companied by Messrs. Wood and
Frazier, started for the San Miguel
Lakes for the purpose Of spending a
few days fishing. At a point eight
miles up Mineral creek they went
into camp, and Mr.. Gibbon started
out to hunt mountain sheep. In
ascending the mountain he came
upon a piece of rich float, and, his
curiosity thus excited, he COM
menced a search for the lead, and
after looking the ground over near
ly all the afternoon was rewarded
by the discovery of the vein. He
returned to camp, and the fishing
excursion was postponed by a unan-
imous vote. In the morning the
boys went up to the discovery, aud,
having no pick or shovel, they
sharpened a stick a one end and
fastened it at the other, and began
taking out mineral. They secured
ia pounds, which they brought to
the Silyerton Smelling Works and
had a mill run made, which gave
267 ounces in silver to the ton.
which, we believe, is the best mill
every made in the country from ore
taken at the very surface, without
the use Of either pick or shovel.
The ore which was brought to the
smelter ia not a fair average Of what
they are now taking out. They
have put a force Of men at work
npOn the mine, and are now taking
out one ton OF llrst-class ore per
day. They will increase their force
as fast as they can work men to
advantage. They are sinking a
shaft now, aud will be able in a few
weeks-as soon as they get stopping
ground-to take out two or three
tons per day. This rich find is To-
Gated about miles from Silyerton,
on the San Miguel trail. The gen
tlemen who are interested in this
new fnd-Messrs Gibbon, Moore,
Frazier and Wood-are all temper
ate, hard working men, and in
every way worthy Of the good for.
tune which they have met with.

Five Years ago Erich was a page
in the royal palace of King VIII
helm. His brother is now an oil
Ger in the Russian army. He emil
grated TO this country upwards of
four years ago. He had some little
money on hand, but that, by free
living, was soon spent, and the al
Tentative Of labor or starvation
stared him in the face. He had the
education generally given to the
sons of gentlemen. There was
nothing practical in it. 1t was su-
perfcial in the extreme. He was
not even perfect enough in genteel
requirements to earn a living rs a
tutor by any one of them, and,
therefore, was driven to common
labor. Coming to st. Louis three
years ago, he worked awhile as a
mental in a hotel kitchen. lie
saved a little money and bought a
hand express. Since then he has
struggled along and secured an ex-
istence from it. But disease over
took him, and he could not drag
himself out into the sunlight, much
less pull his numbering cart. Yes
terday he came into the Dispensary,
a wreck Of man, not lcng for this
world, and asked to be sent to a
pauner's bed in the hospital.

Democracy anywhere that they

ceedings Of the State Democratic

In the afternoon, when they met
again, Nj. Lamb, who was chosen
temporary chairman, began with q
speech in favor Of preserving the
credit of the commonwealth, when
he was asked if that question wa;

it was not in order to criticise the

forced to discontinue and announce
that the chair was ready for bust.

A man, living under the name
of Moos, died recently in Woolwich,
England. His real name was Shaw.
lie was the valet of the late Duke
Of Brunswick, and stole the dia-
monds of his master. They were
very numerous and valuable, and
the theft, which occurred eight
years ago, made much noise at the
time. The jewels were in an iron
box, fastened with a lock very diff
cult to open. The box was placed
in a cavity in the wall of Dukes
bedroom, and the place was secured
by a small iron door. The door
was hidden by the silken covering
which decorated the entire wall OF
the apartment. The Duke carried
the keys of the box and the wal
door perpetually in a belt, which
never left his waist except during
his toilet. Nevertheless, one even.
ing he found diamonds strewed
upon his carpet, a portion of thu
diamonds, valued at over a million
of dollars, taken from the box
Shaw had also disappeared, but wa
%afterward arrested in Boulogne
France, and condemned to twenty
years Of Imprisonment and hare
labor at Cayenne. In three year
he managed to escape from there
and took refuge in England, wher,
he lived incognito, and very pr.
yately. N
