About Ashcroft.

To the Editor of the REooRp.
l will write you few facts about
our camp. We are located on the
head of Castle creek, Pitkin county.
The Tam O'Shanta group of mines,
owned by Tabor & Co., was recently
sold to them for 100000. They are
shipping orc to the Leadville smelters
which runs 400 ounces to the ton.
The Philadelphia Mining company,
Samuel Alsop, jr., manager, whose
residence is in Colorado Springs has
got some fine property in our camp
Messrs. Brooks 6 Dunbar made some
good sales last week to eastern men.
Simons, owner of the Per group, is
shipping some of his five hundred
dollar ore. There are four stores in
camp and the necessary number of
saloons. The stores sell about s4O0
worth of goods each per day. There
are about 1900 men in the camp and
about twenty coming in daily. We
have got no town site boom and we
don't want it for we all well know
the consequences of it; building up a
large town and not having much
mineral. We have got good mines
and we know the town will take care
Of ITSELF The Castle Peak Mining
company will have their smelter run
hing in about three weeks. Brooks
Il Dunbar are doing good business.
They made one sale to-day, or rather
completed it, for 100000. We don't
wish to blow our camp, but am an
old miner and have been in good
many mining camps and examined
some valuable property in my seven
teen years experience and l never
have seen such bodies of high grade
ore in any camp in Colorado that is
in fissure veins. MORE ANON.

To the Editor of the RECORD.
The writer in company with Rev.
DR.. Sawyer, Geo. o. Baldwin and
wife and Miss Mirtie Mcclure, left
Canon on the 3 O'clock train Thurs
day morning, August 4th, to attend
the meeting of the Southern Colora-
do Baptist Association at Saguache.
We witnessed the beauties of the
Grand canon and at South Arkansas
fell in with the Colorado Springs
delegation. At Mears we found
teams in waiting to carry us to our
destination where we arrived at 6
p. M, finding the San Luis valley in
its richest robes of green. The Sa-
guachc branch of the d. & r. G. is
almost completed to Villa Grove and
the ore mines. The Baptist church
and Sabbath school at Saguache is in
ilourishing and prosperous condi-
ton. They have a new brick build
ing, well finished and with the only
church bell i'll the San Luis valley.
We found the hospitality of the citi-
zens of Saguache only surpassed by
the immensity of the valley itself and
we must say the association was mosI
royaly entertained. We found in the
city an air of prosperity prevailing
over all kinds of business. A new
court house is being built there near.

added to the number. The delegates
returned on Monday, the church at
Saguache furnishing teams to Mears,
at which place we had the pleasure OF
taking supper with our old friends
and former citizens of Canon, Mr..
and Mrs. ii. l.. Davis, and also the

AFreak OF ofLighfniur.

From the cimarron tN. M News and Press.
On Monday Andy Beardslcy, OF
Ute creek, was OH top of Old Baldy
during storm and was struck by
lightning. His hair was burned off,
leaving his head as smooth as bill
lard ball; his hat. excepting the rim
one side of his clothing, and one shoe
save the sole and heel were bufSssc
to cinder. One side of his body
from head to foot, was scorched, and
strange as It may appear,hc was onl,
stunned. When he regained con
scionsness, by firing his pistol he at
tracted the attention of the men il
Henry Messure's camp, which il
situated a short distance down tll'
mountain, who came to his assist
ancc and took him to q place o
shelter.

a sensation by appearing in the Treasury
Department, Washington, demanding
gold for $1,000 in bonds. was robbed this
morning at three o'clock. lie kept his
money in an old fashioned safe under the
stairs, in the hallway of his residence.
The party of burglars numbered five.
The family slept upstairs, and the first
intimstion they had of the burglary was
the furious noise made by the blowing
open of the safe with powder. George
Lewis, Baldwin's son.in-law, fred three
shots at the robbers as they left the house
with the bags of gold in their arms. The
burglars fred back. Nobody was in
jured Oh either side. The robbers had
previously taken two Of Bsldwin's horses
and the best carriage from the stable, and
had them standing near the residence.
They jumped into the buggy and es-
capped, going south. Baldwin has offered
q reward of $1,000. 1t is just learned
that the carriage broke down four miles
from Baldwin's house.

The next was colored man, remarkable

The next was an Irishman named
Michael Sheehy, with very pronounced

subject of Guitteau's crime, except that
the man was cut of his head.

change his opinion: A long faced young
colored man named Foster, declared that
he was perfectly free from any prejudice
in the matter, but he had mentioned it
(the murder of Garfeld) TO several par
ties as quite serious accident. He was
challenged peremptorily by the defense.
Samuel +. Hobbs, native of Maryland,

T. w. Gates, young machinist, q

eighth juror. After that, for about an
hour, every man called confessed that
he had formed firm, or decided, or IN
slterable opinion on the question of the
prisoners guilt, and was excused. There
was one exception in the person of
colored man named Ralph Wormely,
8 plasterer by occupation, who thought
he could render fair verdict and said
he had not read more about the case than
he did in an ordinary case Of that kind.
He did not believe everything he read in
the newspapers, because they had pub
lished things about himself that were not
true. He could not say whether the Pre-
sident was shot by the prisoner until
he would hear the testimony. OF course
If an insane man did the shooting he
would be as much guilty as anybody
else. The crazy part. the business was

The real reason of the entirely un-
looked for nomination of the Presi-
dent at Chicago has never been printed
so tar as we know.
During the few last ballots, showing
the gradual increase of Blaine's
chances, and while the whole conven-
ton was listening in breathless sus-
penses to the summing up Of just
taken vote, a man in the gallery began
whistling, "Neyer Take the Horse
shoe from the Door" He had hardly
got to the everlasting and ineradicable
chorus when Garfield arose, passed
out on tiptoe, and ascending to the
gallery, quietly beckoned the man to
follow. In short time the General
returned, wiping Bowie knife on his
coat sleeve. In less than ten minutes
he was nominated for president OF the
United States. San F,an6isfo Post.
