Miss WeltOn.

DENVER, SEPT. 27.--Later informa.
ton of the death of Miss Carrie J.
WeltOn. who perished in snow
storm while making the descent Of
Longs Peak yesterday night is re-
celved. The opinion becomes gen.
eral Miss Welton was deserted by her
guide, who did not return to rescue
her until the next morning. Mr..
Gilbert, q livery man at the park,
says Obedlent to Miss Welton's orders
he drove over to the guides house
Wednesday morning to meet her on
her return from the summit and to
drive her back to Estes Park Hotel.
On reaching the guides house he was
informed of Miss Welton's death and
told the father and son were on the
peak bringing the body down. The
livery man drove rapidly up the trail
five miles, where he met the men
with the body, which was found only
a mile further on. II was then 10
O'Clock in the morning, six hours
from the time the guide says he
found the body. Residents of the
Park discredit the guides story and
charge him with criminal cowardice,
and possibly responsible fer the
lady's death. The coroner will in
vestigate.

A Bold Robbery.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-To-day an
unknown man stole b bar of gold
worth $500 from the brokers office OF
Martin Rungor, in the basement OF
No. II, broadway, in the presence OF
the clerks. He dashed out of the
door hotly pursued and ran up the
steps leading to the offices in the
building through the Office. On the
fifth floor he reached q fire & cape
and descended to the roof Of the ad-
joining building x.aLd got down
through a scuttle to Pine street,
where he escaped. It appears the
thief visited the law office Of Mr.
Comstock through which he escaped,
both yesterday and this morning.
He pretended to be workingman
and asked permission to examine the
fire escapes and some wires. Leave
being given he descended the fire es-
cape this morning and took the op-
pOItunity to open the scutt]es in the
flat roof to which escape leads.

Little Rockies D1gglngs.

We give few spllnters from the
River Press showing what the stam'
peders think of the Little Rockies
diggings:
Tom McDevitt and Mike Lynch re-
turned from the mines yesterday
They will take q new outfit and re-
turn in day or two, Tom is very
enthusiastic. He had determined
never to 20 on another stampede
(having Just returned from the Celi
d'Alenes). but the Little Rockies
were so convenient he could not re-
sist the temptation, He says he be-
lieves there has been more money
taken out since the discovery OF the
mines than was ever taken out OF the
Coeur d'Alenes.
Main & Smith are taking out from
$40 to $40 day. Tom is of the opin'
ion that Develin will make harvest
of $4,000 before winter. Many OF
the Benton stampeders h I'VE Located
claims on Peoples creek, among
them Edmund Ingersoll, Dave Nc
Daniel, John Evans, and himself
The camp, in his opinion, promises
to he the best discovered for many
wears. Good prospects are found al
most everywhere. and the feeling
among all the miners is one OF con-
tent-every one satisfied with the
work they have done, and are nope
full of still better things.
In regard to taking goods into the
Little Rockies for sale we would say
that any person doing SO will be ar
rested and brought before United
States commissioner and his goods
confiscated Tor violation of the inter-
course laws. These laws Will oe en-
forced and the parties guilty OF Its W.
olation punished. People should
hoar this in mind and until the res
ervation is thrown open avoid any
thing of the kind as it will only COM
plicate matters.

AN INTERVIEW
With Col. w. 7. Pemberton,
In Which he states Some Unde
ulable Facts

Wnlle MINER reporter was IN
search Of matters of interest yester-
day to give TO the public he accident
ally ran across Col. Pemberton, the
Democratic nominee for District At
torney. As the gentleman looked as
though he would submit to a little
pumping by the reporter, the faber
pusher pulled his double -barrelled,
stem-winding. back action Knowles,
from his vest pocket and launched
out with: "What do you think of
the chances of Mr.. Toole's election ?"
With that frankness of manner
and emphasis of speech which char
acterizes our popular District Attor-
ney he replied: II think there can
be no reasonable doubt of his success.
His record as a Democrat and a gen.
tleman OF ability cannot be i'm
peached. He is personally popular
with all who know him. No gentle
man in the Territory stands. better
socially. 1 can see no reason W! y
every Democrat in the Territory
should not heartily support him.
He came to Montana a poor boy;
what he has achieved either in name,
fame, or fortune has been among our
own people. He is young man of
whom all our people should feel
proud"
R.-"Will you take an active part
in the campaign?"
Col. P.-'I suppose as I am a can
didate on the ticket it will be ex-
pected that I help. The office of
District Attorney is not, strictly
speaking, political one, although it
is customary for the different politi-
cal parties to treat it as such. Ilave
known nc man on account of his
politics, or his position, religion, race,
color, or previous condition of SER
vitude, and if reelected 1 shall pur-
sue the same course. While am,
and have always been, Democrat,
and have invariably voted for party
nominees when the office was a PC
litical one, yet I am not running
solely on my Democracy for District
Attorney, nor do I expect to be sup
ported solely on that claim. If I am
elected again I hope to be elected on
the record I have made as a lawyer,
capable of filling the office, and
faithfully discharging its duties re-
gardless of any political influence.
/ do not think man ought TO be
elected to this office solely on account
of his politics. I certainly do not
want to run on that one issue. 1
would not vote for a man for the Of
flee if such were his only claims to it.
A man ought to have the qualifica-
tions of reasonable ability and lnteg-
rity. So that while am a Democrat
I shall feel grateful if the people shall
be so well satisfied with the manner
in which I have tried to fill the Of
flee for the last two years IS to re-
elect me-"
AS the Colonel concluded the last
sentence he turned upon his heel and
walked towards his office, while the
reporter wended his way in a Charley
Ross search for other matter.
