A TITLED TRAMP
! Count Lanaski, 3 Brave Soldier ffcked
Up By the Police of Joliet.

JOLIET, Ill.,, March 1o.-A venerable
tramp with historical record was picked
up in the streets here by the police. He had
papers on his person indicating that he had
a romantic career. He was sober but des-
ticute. His papers showed him to be Po-
lish Count named Lanaski. He was born
in 1871. entered the French army in 1905
and took part in tn, battle OF Auster'tz:
Lanaski was in the memorable march TO
Moscow and witnessed the burning OF that
city by the Russians. He was one OF the
46 900 out OF half million men that re"
turned to Poland, and thence through Ger.
many to France with Napoleon. Lsnaski
left the army on the abdication ofthe French
Emperor, but when the latter returned
from Elba he again Joined and fought at
Waterloo. After the overthrow OF Napo'
leon the Count fed to Germany, thence to
Austria, where, in 1881, he Joined Louis
Kossuth. He was captured by the Rus
slams, exiled in Siberia, escaped and came
to the United States during the late re-
belliOn.
Though an old man OF 20. he enlisted IN
the Union army and fought under siegel
until the close Of the war, shortly aiter

LONDON, March 1O.-Advices from Anam
state that anarchy prevails in that country
and that bands of robbers are securing the
land; that people are in revolt against the
French authority and that the rebels have

GREECE DEFIANT.
VIENNA, March I0.-The continued prep.
arations in Greece are exciting grave fears
in European Cabinets. It is believed that
the moral effect OF the assembling OF the
foreign fleets in Sudabay will not be snffi-
cient to coerce Greece and that further
measures will be necessary. Greece has
been warned by the Powers that if she rer-
sists in her intention of violating the peace
she will be left to suffer punishment at the
hands OF Turkey. Greece reasserts her
claim to Eripus in accordance with the
terms of the Berlin treaty and declares that
hitherto she has only yielded to force.

a decline. The sales were PSI 900: The
largest trading was in Erie, second Consols'

The frat declines were not large. What
with the strike ON the Southwestern sys-

with lower rates reported and rumors
about the Western Union dividend being
passed, Wall Street did not take very
rose ate view OF the general stock
situation. The firstprices were gen.
orally y to y lower and there was a
dropping tendency until o'clock. with
only slight reaction. The lowest prices
were generally made at about clock and
with vague but somewhat better reports
regarding the general situation, especially
as relates to Transcontinental affairs. the
market became firm and slowly recovered
from the earlier losses. In the last hour
in many cases the highest prices OF the day
we're reached but the range OF fluctuations
was limited to little over 1 per cent. 1or

Mr.. Mullen was very old employe OF the

mine when the little works were put on the
shaft down below tho present works some
twelve years ago, but subsequently left it's
employ and went to the Moulton, where he
worked some months, then to the Alice, but
about four years ago he returned to the
Anaconda, and has worked there eyer since.
He was very faithful and industrious
man, and attended very closely to his
duty. He was q member vi the Miners

Custer Scenery.

The rare beauty, and striking grand

fail to impress the beholder with the
highest degree Of admiration. Nowhere
in the Black Hills region is it even ap-

pleasing variety. Lofty mountains

fringe their rugged sides, crowned with
micaceous rocks that simmer and scin-
tilate in the lingering rays of the setting
sun, present picture, which in its sur
passing grandeur passes the range of
human description, and can only be
realized in the poets dream. Yonder

heights into the margin Of the lowering
clouds, stands Calamity Peak; while
farther out, in marked contrast, dressed
in her mantle of green, appears
pencilled upon the cerulian sky the
dark outline Of Lookout Mountain.
Looking north, Buckhorn Peak, pine
clad from base to summit, intermingled
with huge masses of quartz rock of ala

the green foliage that is surprisingly
grand. Turning to the west, Grand

Seeking silver.

During the past week the attention o.
prospectors in this community has been
turned to the pursuit of silver. The ex-
element has extended to the city where
fifteen or twenty citizens have succumb
ed to IFS magic influence, and departed
for the argentiferous Eldorado, which is
located about ten miles west of this city
in the limestone range. Specimens of
the ore were brought in which plain
ly showed the presence of native silver,
and one sample of ore from another
locality, distant IL miles from Custer,
the direction of which we failed to as
certain, was tested, showing remarkable
high grade. The fact of there being
many silver bearing lodes in the south
ern Hills, carrying small per cent of
silver on the surface, has been known
to us for many years, but the presence
recently found is an agreeable surprise,
but the fact of it being found in a Sec
ton of country that has hitherto receiv-
ed no attention from the prospector,
where all the external indications are
favorable to its presence, gives it the
semblance Of reason, and we can only
hope that future development may
determine the fact of the region in
dicated, being surprisingly rich in that
precious metal.
There is but little question of even
the low grade lodes above referred to,
upon which no development work has
ever been done, being in many instances
Of great value, and we have reason to
believe that the advanced prestige
given to the silver industry in this
country by the splendid success Of the
Iron Hill, and other mines of the car
Donate camp, will result in their early
development.

A few weeks since Mr.. Frye, of Lead.
vile, Colorado, came to this section
fully prepared to prospect for silver car.
Donates, bringing with him the appli.
ances necessary in making tests as to
the value of his discoveries. He left
this city about three weeks ago, accom-.
panied by Mr.. g +. Johnson, Of this
city. and proceeded into the limestone
range, about ten miles in Southwestern
y direction from this place, where it
has been supposed for many years that
silver existed. About ten days ago his
efforts were amply rewarded by the dis
covery of rich silver carbonates in great
abundance, about three miles south OF
Of the Pennington county line, near
what is known as Bull Springs, in Gus
ter county. He made number of tests,
all Of which were exceedingly favorable.
before making the fact of discovery
known, which fact only came to the
surface few days since through Mr..
Johnson, who came in from the camp
for supplies, and who brought number
Of samples of the ore with him.
Tests were Immediately made in this
place which gave positive evidence of
surprising value, which resulted in a
general stampede to the point of attrac-
ton. Many of the stampeding party
went prepared to remain a number of
days, and have not yet returned, others
not prepared to remain have returned
for supplies, who report country, a
number of miles in extent, which is
fairly teeming with the coveted car
Donates.
Mr.. Frye is much astonished at the
fact of this vast mineral deposit having
remained so long undisturbed in local
ity SO near extensive settlements, and
claims that the day is not distant when
it will astonish the Hills by it's surpass-
ing grade, and magnitude of its extent.
Two hundred locations have already
been made, and the rush to the camp is
daily increasing. The excitement, we
are informed has extended to Buffalo
Gap, and as far north as Lead City, and
many hundreds of prospectors will
doubtless be numbered i'm the camp,
before the close of the coming week.

Died.

In this city on Sunday, the 9th inst,
Mrs. Harriet II. Pool, mother of Mrs. j.
b. Dickover, and Nathan Pool of this
city.
Mrs. Pool had been afflicted for the
past nine years with cancer of the
breast, which FIVE years ago had been
pronounced incurable by the leading
physicians Of Chicago, where she at that
time resided, and from which place she
came to this city nearly two years since.
The nature of her malady, being entire
ly hopeless, ELECTED the sympathy OF
the entire community, who done all in
their power to render her declining
days as cheerful as circumstances would
admit.
Mrs. Pool was an early settler in
Chicago where she had may friends
who will hear with regret the sad in.
telligence of her demise. Her age, al
the time of her death, was sixty-seven
years. She was consistent member Of
the Methodist Episcopal church, and
met death as welcome relief from hel
long protracted sufferings, in the full
and mistaken hope Of brighter, and
higher life bevond the grave.
The funeral, which was largely at
tended, took place on Monday, the 7th
from the residence Of Mr.. J. B. Dick
