A London paper says: Some b.
time ago one of the Shah's pish kheS$
ments (personal attendants), riding in
the neighborhood Of Zenjan, about $50
miles from Teheran, on the Tarbriz
road, found piece of gold ore. On
inquiries he heard that one of the in
habitauts Of the village close by had
occasionally been seen returning from
the mountains in q mysterious manner.
The villager was found and his house
searched, and the pish khedment dis
covered small crucible, a forge and
appliances for smelling and nearly
eighty pounds worth of pure gold. The
man, nearly seventy years of age, said
that he had found this gold at differ
ent times. and by stealth during the
last seven years, but he affirmed that
there existed very rich mine of gold
whence he had obtained it. As the
mountains were covered with snow, no
further investigation could be made at
the time. The man was taken to Te-
heIan and has been interrogated by the
Shah himself. He, of course, Is per-
fectly willing to show the spot wkere
he found the gold, the moro so as the
Shah has gwen him the village in which
he lived, close to the mine, as free
gift. The pish khedment, who was
the cause of discovering the mine, will
receive the long promised 5000 tomans
(tl2OOl for the first person who discov-
cred a gold mine. After few days
high tunctionary, the Amin Sultan,
accompanied by the old villager, is
gong to Zenjau, with some assistants
who know little of mining, and work
is to be commenced ut once. The
Shah has already made a promise to
the effect that he will present his peo- =
pie with one years revenue, sum of
1000, 900 tomans Gel 900, 000). His
majesty will probably himself go to
the mine in the spring to SEQ the treas
ure. Nobody here has the least doubt
of this rich gold mine, which is to re-
generate Persia with its millions and
millions. 1t is, however, not at all
certain whether a rich mine or even
poor one exists.

And he did, for the robbery occur

And he did, for the robbery occur
red.
March 26-I don't think there is
much danger this morning, but great
deal this evening. HAM.
This memorandum shows that Ham
had two jobs on hand that day, the
Gonzales and Austin stage in the fore
noon and the San Antonio and Austin
stage in the afternoon, and the public
knows how correctly he carried his
plans of last Monday into execution.
Ham White is said to have arrived
from Hot Springs in Arkansas about
four weeks ago, and taking his own
diary, and the published description of
the man who robbed the Waco and
Gstesville stage coach in the early part
of the month, and the description of
the horse the robber rode, he is evil
IDENTIFY the man who did it. His ca
reer has been lively one, but like all
the lawless, he has been brought to
grief, and in the very youth and
prime of his life. On putting
White to bed Wednesday night,
the rangers discovered several steel
saws circllng around his legs, and
these were intended, of course, to aid
him in breaking Jail in case of arrest.
Lieut.. Hall and his brave men de-
serve the thanks of the public for this
great work, fraught with danger and
fatigue, and but for them the desper-
ado and bold hlghwayman, Ham
White, would yet be at large. This
service alone argues volumes in favor
of the keeping up for q year
or two, at least, an efficient State
guard organization. The rangers have
more than earned the $3.50 reward
offered, and we are glad to know that
Marshal Purnell and other Federal Off
Gals will urge the authorities at Wash
ington to add another thousand to it.
Bastrop county offered the $1,000, and
Marshal Purnell individually added
the $50. The prisoners were turned
over Thursday to the Federal by the
State authorities.
WHAT JOHN VAUGHAN SAYS.
John Vaughan gays he had nothing
to do with the robbery. He went
from his fathers to Major Nance's,
Monday morning, aud came back to
Mountain City, and was at home be-
fore ~ n. He did not leave his father
during the afternoon, when the stage
was robbed at o'clock. Tuesday
morning he started early to Dewitt
county, to go with Mlllett's herd to
Kansas. He fell in with Ham White,
Tuesday, near Lockhart. He went
with Ham to Luling, and was there ar
rested. He says he did not know that
the stage had been robbed till he was
arrested. He learned all about it, soon
after, when Ham White was captured.
John is in excellent good humor and
spirits. He says no money was taken
from his person. White wanted a
good lawyers Vaughan says he don't
want lawyer, and only trial and an
opportunity to bring his witnesses be e
fore an examining court. He says the
cells In the prison are too small to be
comfortable, and he was already i'm
patient, even Thursday afternoon, of
bis confinement. Ham White stated
further that he wanted lawyer, not
for this robbery case, but to defend
him 'in another case"-supposed to be
the murder of Rowe.
