One large reef has been discovered
running through the property and traced
at the surface for over two miles, A
series of trenches, cut through il ut the
surface, prove the width to be from 2
feet to l8 feet. This reef is COMPOSED
of quartz, strongly charged with iron,
some of which, having been washed, has
yielded very fair prospects of gold, suf-
1clent, as estimated, to produce from
Two ounces to three ounces to the ton.
The engineer is of opinion that this reef,

LOST THEIR LIVES,
Tho Story Of Two Young Men who were
Lynched Ms Squuttcru.

A curious mobbing story is that which
comes from Devils Lake, in northeastern
Dakota. About half a mile from the
town of Crcel City there, which is com.
posed of half dozen houses, was q
quarter section of land located upon by
man named Bell. The vicinity has
never been regularly surveyed, the occu-
pancy was but little moro than nominal,
rs often happens, and two brothers
named Ford, in Bells absence took pos.
session, built n second shanty and began
living there. One night recently Bell
went to tho place, found tho intyudcrs,
and ordered them off. They refused to
90, whercupon Bell reused the people Of
Crcol City with the report that his claim
was being dumped" and returned With
- other men to drive the Fords out
Just how the proceedings began is not
very clear, but there appears to have
been some firing on both sides, and al
the close both TIE Fords were killed
One report says that n member of the
attacking party was wounded in the arm.
but that il not certain, and none were
killed. Tho plain truth Of the case Is
that n party of mon in tho vicinity dc
liberately attacked and murdered two
men for jumping n claim, and the part
OF the business most comprehensive to
eastern people is the fact that the out
rage was justified hy the community.
An inquest was held, il iH said that every
one of the 13 testified, md nobody con.
cerned hesitates about admitting the
general facts as stated, but the verdict
wns simply that the FordB were shot by
some unknown persons no arrests were
made, and the killing is regarded upon
all hands as q rough but necessary ar.
plication of Justice. And yet th" com.
munity is quite up the average of those
on the western frontier. and its seati
ment in this matter is merely the one
common under all similar circumstances
Precisely as horse stealing il rcckoned
worse than murder on the plains, claim
jumping is considered the greatest of all
crimes in places like this. Tho land is
open to all, there is no immediate wny OF
getting legal title, and an unwritten law
has grown up that he who first takes n
tract of 100 acres shall hold it, and death
iR the penalty for it's violation. The

ran. They wcro nephewB Of Congress.

THE CHILDREN WE KEEP.

The children kept coming, one by one.
Till the boys wore FIVE and the girls were
three,
And tho big brown house was alive with fun
From the basement floor to the old roof tree.
Like garden flowers the little onos grew,
Nurturcd and trained with tho tenderest care.
warmed by loves sunshine, bathed in its dew,
They bloomed into beauty, like roses rare.
But one of the boys grew weary ono day,
And, leaning his head on his mothers breast,
He said, "I am tired and cannot play;
Let me sit awhile on'your knee and rest."
She cradlod him close in her fond embrace,
She hushed him to sleep with her sweetest
song,
And rapturous love still lighted his face
When his spirit had joined the heavenly
throng.
Then the eldest girl, with her thoughtful eyes,
Who stood where "the brook and the river
meet
Stole softly awsy mo Paradise
Ere "the river" had reached her slender feet.
While the fathers eyes on tho grave are bent,
The mother looked upward beyond the skies;
"Or treasures" she whispered "were only
lent,
Our darings were angels In earth's disguise. ~
The years few by and tho children began
With longing to think Of the world outside /;
And az each, in his turn, became man,
The boys proudly went from their fathers
side.
The girls were women 30 gentle and fSir
That lovers were speedy to WOO and win;
and with orange blossoms in braided hair,
The old home was left, new home to being,
So. one by one, the children have gone
The boys were five, and the girls were throe
And the big brown house is gloomy and lone,
With but two old folks for its company.
They talk t" cach other about the past,
As they sit together in eventide,
And say. "All the children we kept at last,
