ANOTHER TEN STRIKE!
The Mount Diabela Lode, a New Find, Looms
Up in Mineral Bigger than an Elephant

Ounces

Each week, or we might say each
day, an additional name of a rich lode
finds its way before the public and is
written upon the historical pages of
Ruby Camp. Nor does its fame stop
here, but it is taken up and sent by
the pony express. mail, tele gfaph and
telephone over the entire world. Such
news has made Ruby famous, and to-
day we are attracting more attention
from the capitalist than any other spot
the world ever produced.
THE MOUNT DIABoLA
Is the name of the latest strike in
Ruby Camp, that will in the near
future cause eastern capitalists to
scheme for its possession, but we can
tell you now. gentlemen, its going to
take f" big scheaming" as well as "big
money" to get it,
The strike was made the early part
of this week, by two prospectors, one
mile and half east of camp. Being
inexperienced timers, they brought
some Of the "peculiar looking rock I"
into camp and displayed it to the
gaping crowds assembled at the corn
ers and public houses. OF course ma
jority of those who examined it as if
they had an eye of a tonnoIsseur,
were tenderfeet themselves and did Mt
know manganese from brittle silver,
yet each and every one pronounced
on it as wisely as an owl. They made
it good, bad and Indifferent. They
called it iron, zinc, lead, tin, and
gracious only knows what they didn' t
call it.
Finally Mr.. Frank Winters, an old
timer, was consulted, after the boys
were pretty thoroughly disgusted.
Frank examined the rock, said it was
good, offered them fair price for
their claim and finally bought it fol
himself and partner, Mr.. Harry Earle.
The next morning Mr.. Winters
commenced work on his purchase, and
at the depth of a few inches struck an
1S-inch vein of very fine grained
quartz carrying ruby, native and
brittle silver, which can be plainly
seen with the naked eye. AS depth
was gained richer became the ore and
wider the vein, and now they have a
regular bonanza. Assays give 1900
ounces, and an average assay from the
dump gives 500 ounces.
Numerous offers to bond or buy the
mine have been refused. One bond
of $50, 900 was also refused.

LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS !!
Two Men Get Lost in the Mountains and One
Is Deyoured by Mountain Lions.
Kn French Escapes from tb. Beasts and is
Found After Eight Days Of
Starvation.

This morning W. ]. Emigh and
VIM. Rumpf, who had been on the
reservation prospecting, brought into
camp a man who gave his name as
Thos. French, from Hannibal, Mo.
They had found him about IS miles
southwest of here, in the neighbor-
good of Coal and Ohio creeks. Mr..
Rumpf had shot at a deer when some
one called to him from the brush.
Looking in the direction where he
heard the voice he espied a wild look
ing man lying on the ground with his
head partially raised and resting on his
hand. Mr.. Rumpf pointed his gun at
the man and demanded why he called.
He exclaimed, I" For God s sake don't
shoot me I'm almost dead now"
After Mr.. Rumpf got hith up and
placed him upon horse he told the
follow story;
About fifteen days ago, in company
with John Shafer, from Cleveland, O.,
he left Irwin for White river. After
being a few days out they lost the
trail and wandered about the noun
tains hunting way out. One day as
they were thus wandering about, they
were attacked by mountain lions and
his partner, Shafer, devoured before
his eyes. By running away he escaped
a similar death. For eight days he
wandered about alone and without
food. Said he believed in visions and
had one the night previous that he
would be rescued by the party who
brought him in.
He presents terrible sight, and at
times speaks as in delirium, although
his story was told in a straightforward
manner without the least sign of false
hood.
There is considerable complaint
among prospectors about so many
"stakes" being put up without any
lead, lode or vein, thereby keeping
legitimate prospectors out. Wherever
there is good lead staked, there are
a certain class of men who 90 and
stake all the adjacent ground, without
looking for the vein, thinking that they
will get chance to sell their stake
for few hundred dollars because it s
close to some good mine, and if pros
pector gets within gunshot distance O!
said stake, the cry is somebody is
jumping my Aa1." The United States
law says that a man has no right to put
up stake for the location of claim,
until he finds lode or vein within the
limits of said claim.

Women and Ladies.

In the days of our fathers, there were
such things to be met with as ''men"
and "women"-but now they are ell
gone, and in their place race of "gen-
tlemen" and "ladies," or to be still more
refined, Of "ladies and gentlemen" has
sprung up. Women and girls are among
the things that were, but '9adies" are
found everywhere. Miss Martineau,
wishing to see the women wards in a
prison in Tennessee, was answered by
the warden, "we have no ladies here at
present, madam" Now, so far as the
ladies were concerned, it was very well
that none of them were in prison but,
then, it sounds little odd-ladies in
prison 1t would seem bad enough for
women to go to such place.
A lecturer, discoursing upon the char
acteriytics of women, illustrated thus -
"Who were the last at the cross La
dies. Who were the first at the sepul-
chre Ladies'" On this modern i'm
provement we have heard of but one
thing that beats the above. 1t was the
finishing touch to marriage ceremony,
performed by an exquisite divine up to
all modern refnements. When he had
thrown the chain OF Hymen around the
happy couple, he concluded by saying,
81 now pronounce you husband and
lady" The audience stuffed their hand.

into the Democratic camp the large Green
back and other peculiar support that
General Butler leans upon. Butler will
doubtless be the candidate of the united
party for Governor next fall, and if the
National Convention makes iudicious
nomination the prospect of giving the
electoral vote of Massachusetts to Dem
ocratic President will be more than fair
The reunion also furnishes an excellent
example for the Democrats of New York
to follow" And this admirably expresses
the general sentiment. The Indianapolis
Sentinel. very able representative Of
Western Democratic sentiment, says:
To tight such party as the Republi :
cans. with such resources, appliances. and
tactics, will require, on the part of the
Democratic party, harmony, solidity, full
appreciation of the interests at stake, ag-
gressiveness, and the enthusiasm of
crusaders; and every candidate named
by the Democratic party. or any branch of
il. TO be brought before the Ciucin-
natl convention should be with
special reference to the harmonizing and
qualification Of the Democratic party.
This accomplished, the outlook is full Of
cheer. Harmony insures success, while
discord presages defeat, Sectional issues
must sink out of sight while the great
questions which relate to the liberties of
the people and the prosperity Of the whole
country must be elevated and digui6ed,
The Democratic press of the country
should at once engage 10 the work of har-
monizing factions Of, and unifyiug the party.
Listening to the voice of patriotism, Dem
ocrats everywhere should see to il that
discords cease, In the coming contest
there is nothing so important as success,
and if defeat comes of petty wrauglings in
the Democratic party, those self constitut-
ed leaders who foment strife, and who
cherish their own selfish ambitions rather
than the welfare of the whole country,
will be justly chargesble with the calami-
ty, and will be held responsible for the
consequences.
| These sentiments ought TO meet with
general approval. There is no good reason
why the Democracy of every state in the
union cannot heartily unite on national
grounds in support of candidates for PRES
ident and vice presidents who shall truly
represent the best sentiments of the peo~
pie and can be elected Compromises are
out of the question. 1t is useless to potter
over petty local disturbances. There is.an
almost universal disposition to forget the
past. Let bygones go. and work unitedly
and with enthusiasm to elect for president
Democrat whom every American can
respect and every Democrat will have a
reason to be proud of. To nominate such
a man will be to elect him. To nominate
any other is to be defeated before the
battle begins.

what It Means,

The principal reason why General Grant
should be nominated Essay his supporters,
that he would take his seat. What do
they mean by the constant assertion that
''he will,take his seat?" Are we to infer
that the programme OF 1876. in revised
form. ia to be repeated in 1880? DO the
managers of the Grant boom imagine that
the people will submit to any such high
handed outraged If they do. then the
illusion may as we'll be dispelled, now as
any time. 1t may be q source of con-
ISOLATION to some of the stalwarts
70 picture success, whether it be OBJ
tanned legitimately or illegitimately, but
they will discover their mistake. Gen'
Grant is good military man, but were ne
a Napoleon, unless he be legitimately
elected he cannot force his election, and VIII
not ibe allouoed to take his seat. 1t has
been the custom of the Republican mana
gers to brow beat, bully and threaten into
submission the weak kneed members OF
their party, and in a measure they have
been successful. So far as party disci-
pine goes, fthis may sbe albright. but
when they assume to introduce the same
tactics to forcei the people, they viii have
undertaken job beyond their capacity to
handle. General Grant, will nc
doubt be the nominee of the Repub-
lican party. As such he will be entitled
to all the votes he legitimately OBTAINS
but no more, When he becomes candi-
date he does so as an American citizen
and beyond this he cannot 90. Ii is all
very easy for Cameron and Conkling to
map ont the programme,,it looks well on
the face of it, but to carry out the same IN
it's details is quite another thing. The
American people are yet tree,
they yet ehave the rights of freemen,
and as such will brook no antocratlcal
assumption of power. 1t will not be veil
for the Grant managers to inaugurate q
revolution, and it may as well be under
stood now as anytime, that any lattempt
to subvert the will of the people s1iU not
be tolerated. The crime of 1876, was
allowed to pass without more than a civil
protest, but in 1880, the American people
will speak in q manner that will not be
misunderstood. Let the Grant managers
take due notice thereof and govern them
selves accordingly.
