had him set at liberty. On getting
out of Jail he started at once for the
Ute country, and the next Mrs.
Mickey heard of HIM he had been
hung for horse stealing. He had been
to the mines with ROBBERS before the
trouble, however.
The story told him regarding these
mines was as follows
"While with the Utes he got into a
conversation one day in which he con-
tended that the Indians knew nothing
Of prospecting. To this one of the
Utcs replied that the whites were
'heap-tools: and. in searching for
mineral, went to every place but the
right one. As clincher, the Indian
stated that he knew of one gulch that
contained more gold than all the res,
of the reservation. Edwards after
wards learned where the locality re.
fcned to was. He wanted to bring a
man in to help him work it, but the
Utes refused, telling him that he
might work it alone if he wished, but
that if he brought another man in they
would kill both.
"The Mickeys. Roberts, and McLees
have been waiting for two years to get
into the locality, but the presence of
Indians debarred them. Finally,
about ten days ago, Roberts started
down there with four men and went
to work. Two claims were staked,
called the Big Congo and Maggie
Jack. The ore is found IN veins, is
free milling, and is what assayers call
talcose schist. Samples of this ore
were sent to Prof. Burlingamc of Den
yer. and to Prof. J. Dana Crosby, of
Boston. Prof. Burlingame's certli-
Gates were received by Mrs. Mickey,
Tuesday. On the Big Congo the re-
turns were SIS in gold and s1.1S in
silver. On the Maggie Jack they were
s1o4.4o In gold and $4.S1 in, silver.
The Boston assay gave three ounces
of gold, ninety ounces of copper, 15
iron and a trace of silver. This ASSAY
was from the Congo.
CDR. Jennings has sent men down
there to work, and so has Mr.. R. D.
Walsh, Of Shafer, Dunbar & Co. Sew
eral Others are preparing to 60 within
a day or two. A town site has been
taken up under the name of Jackstown
and there is likely to be a rush in that
direction. The assays are not aston
ishingly high, as may be seen, but the
ore is free milling, and there is said
to be any quantity of it. John Roberts
came up Tuesday and returned yes
terday. The distance is twenty-elght
miles.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
Republican Preparations for the Congress
sional Elections.

Special Dispatch to the Boston Journal.)
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Republican Con-
gressional Committee is preparing for earnest
work. The Democratic leaders, who boast now
that there is little doubt that they will be sue
cessful in the fall elections, would perhaps
aba their confidence if they knew how zeal
ously theRepublicans are determined to contest
every doubtful Congressional district. The
committee has not fully formed its plans, but
the outline is pretty generally known, The
purpose is to concentrate its strength in doubt
full districts and to seek to gain as many votes
in the South as possible There is very much
more hope of returning Republicans or anti
Bourbons from the South than there was two
wears ago. The developments in Virginia last
wear and in Congress this winter have nearly
shown that the Bourbon hold upon the solid
South is much less firm. The lines have been
SO sharply drawn in many quarters that it will
be impossible for the Democrats in the coming
Congressional elections, or in the next Presiden-
tial campaign, to rely upon many of those who
hitherto have blindly followed them. The evil
dence that comes to the committee from the
South shows that the Democratic party is grow
lug weaker and the anti-Bourbon party strong
err and for all the purposes of the organization
of the next Congress, and of the adoption OF
the policy of the Republican Administration,
the anti-Bourbons are faithful allies OF the Re-
publicans.

WASHINGTON, May 19.--It is believed the

ures before the grand jury have tended to
show the plate was genuine and not counter
felt, but it is q mystery how the plate was OBJ
tanned.

president Arthur, If you do not recall the

these penned lines was ritten with black
lead pencil. "This is no idle boast We mean
business You are no American Postmas-
ter Pearson thinks it was sent by some crank.

ties about the Post Office remarked that they
