McKinnie, the well known insurance
man, has returned from a trip to East
ern Oregon. looking as Though he had
been through a second edition Of the
ModOc war. He has a scar across his
nose, a cut upon his lip, and bruises and
Commissions too numerous to mention,
and is minus several teeth. While wait
ing for train at Umatilla on his way
home be borrowed shot gun from Mr..
Kunzie, and vent out to have crack at
a flock of ducks on the Umatilla river.
When he pulled the trigger of his fowl
ing piece It few all to pieces, and Mr..
Nickname was knocked down and walked
over by the fragments. In fact it was a
complete walk-over for the gun. The
ducks were not harmed at all. but they
would not have got of 90 easily if they
had been at the other end of the gun.
From the way in which he and the
pieces few, Mr.. MoKinaie is of the
opinion that the gun had bees loaded

A noteworthy incident occurred a.

Page died az he livsd-a tough citizen.
He cursed the exscutiouers for avk-
xardnsss in choking him with the rope
too SOON, and when offered water on the
pallows demanded drink OF wh'sksy.
There ia nothing admirable in such oon-
duct but it u % different from the general
run "a to excite comment. Page wasn't
a hypocrits. He didn't profess TO expect
a white robe and golden alippers direct

and AFFIRM his regeneration. He didn't

A SINGULAR STORY.
A Cave Lined With Mineral Said TO
Have Been Found In Colorado.

Have Been Found In Colorado.
The Rocky Mountain News publish
es the following remarkable story
from correspondent, who writes
from Pitlxin:
The North Fork is booming, for
right upon the heel of this discovery.
and before the people had time to re-
cover from their surprise caused by
the above rich find, came courier
galloping into town upon a foaming
Durro from the Silent Friend mine.
alighted IN front of the company office
on Main street, and telling the gaping
crowd that a wonderful cave had been
struck IN one of the drifts, that men
went down on ropes from sixty TO
seVenly-hVe feet, and that the rope
gave out, and that he was sent TO town
to get more rope; that as far as ex-
plored everything was mineral. The
manager, Mr.. ID. Sapp, and one of the
owners, Mr.. o. IL. Alden, of Pueblo.
Immediately procured several hun
dred feet more OF rope, jumped upon
their horses and went TO the mine.
There they found at the end of the 90
foot level large hole and a black
ehasn yawning them in the face. \
stone was thrown down aud il was
fully six seconds by the watch before
It was heard to strike anything.
whether the bottom or a projecting
rock II was impossible To tell. But
soon the ropes were fastened and
men went down into mysterious dark
ness, among them Mr.. Sapp. For 275
feet the perllous journey continued,
when bottom was found, and the first
human beings that ever invaded this
cavern OF perhaps eoeene ages looked
wondering around them. TIE small
miners lamps only penetrated the
darkness short distance, but the
m n soon discovered that the fabulous
r,ches OF the cave OF the Count of
Monte Christie was a farce compared
with this. Immense stalactites Of the
most fantastic shapes hung down the
roof and projecting rocks. Some ap-
peared like gigantic chandeliers, some
like immense pipe organs. Every
thing Vas tinted IN a very delicate pale
green, and all these formations seemed
to nave semi-translaeent character.
The effect Was grand.
Upon the floor Of the cave were
strewn pebbles and hboulders, from
the smallest grains lo lotion boulders.
Some Of these were brOken-o frag-
ments. The walls on ali sides were
attacked by the picks OF the men, aud
the discovery Was made that every
thing was mineral. and it is estimated
by the manager, Mr.. Sapp, that
million compared with what he has
in sight, is like "A drop in a bucket.
Specimens of the ore and sialactites
were brought TO town, aud never was
there handsomer carbonate ore and
galena seen anywhere. The stalae-
tites are the most beautiful specimens
imaginable.
IL is probable that still another cave
exists beyond tins one, for strong
drlft issues from some parts OF the
cave. IL will be'fully explored this
week, when | will give particulars.
The finding OF the cave, lined on all
sides with rich mineral, places the
Silent Friend mine into the foremost
ranks Of mines in the country.

A Mountain specter.

X. A. Marr, the young gentleman
who, it will be remembered, visited
Reno in 1881 in the interest of the
Coast Geodetic Survey, gives the fol-
lowing account ofan atmospheric phe-
nomenon, so famous in the Hartz
mountains OF Germany, and known
as the Brocker Specter, and which
he lately witnessed from the Toiyabe
range, near Austin, Nevada. He says:
Suddenly, as l stood looking over
the vast expanse beneath me, / saw
myself confronted by monster figure
of man, standing in mid-air before
me upon the top of clearly defined
mountain peak, which had but the
thin air OF the valley below for rest
ing place. The figure was only
short distance from me. Around it
were two circles of rainbow light and
color, the outer one family defined as
compared with the inner one, which
was bright and clear and distinctly
irridescent. Around the head of the
figure was beautiful halo of light,
and from the figure itself shot rays of
color normal TO the body. The sight
startled me more than | can now tell.
| threw up my hands in astonishment
and perhaps some little fear, and at
this moment the speeter seemed to
move toward me. In few moments
l got over my fright, and then, after
the figure had faded away, l recog
nized the fact that had enjoyed one
OF the most wonderful freaks of ma
ture. Since then we have seen it
once or twice from jeff Davis Peak,
but it never created such an impress
sion upon me as it did that evening
when was doing service as a hello
troper all alone on top Of Arc Dome"
