ROBBED OF A GELD NINE
An Ancient Map of Gold Mine Acct
dentally Found by Mexicans.
They at Once Start for the Mine But
are Murdered on the Road,
The MurdererS Secure The Man and
Proceed i'm Search of the Mine.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 9.-The discovery
of the bodies of eight Mexican pros pee
tors at the mouth of the abandoned mine
San Salvador 10 the western part of
Wyoming has brought to light a roman
tic story, rivaling all the stories about
the seekers for Captain KIdd's buried
treasures. Miguel Martinez, at the head
of party of his countrymes was here
last fall for two DAYS. He
confded TO Mexican gambler here
that they were in search of the abandoned
gold mine which they believed to be rich
IN metal, and were going to develop IT,
Martinez carried chart traced On parch-
ment, which hey sail was Two hundred
years old, and was made by an ancestor
of his ii the seventeenth century. The
chart had been lost for years, but re
Gently talned up, and at once the party
was organized. The story that had
been running through the fam
lily for generations was that
Martinez the elder was at the head of
band of Spanish gold nun5ers who were
working rich mine somewhere in this
part of the country. The miners quar-
relied, and finally fought, and their divi-
sion resulted in the abandonment of the
mine, though it was very rich Martinez
was wounded, ind died on the way
home. With his blood be traced
the chart which was to be &
rich legacy to his children. A
faithful friend delivered the document,
which soon afterward was lost, and only
recently turned up. Martinez descend
ant was told of the two mines up north
that mineralogists have declared we're
worked by the Spaniards hundreds of
years ago. His party was no. heard of
again until today, when q hunter named
Keller reported that his party had dis
covered their bodies. All the Mexicans
had been shot, and were somewhat cut up
by knives, showing that the struggle was
a hand to hand One. There were
evidences that the victorious party had
lost three or four men, and they had
made hasty departure, carrying the
dead and wounded with them. What
surprised the hunters most was to find a
mine that had recently been worked. 1t
was not known that pick-ax had touch
ed 1t since two men starved to death there
IN 1877. There is reason TO think that
the San Salvador was not the
mine described in their chart
and also that the murderer,
had taken the map and have gone off to
locate the ancient mine. The fact that
the Mexican horses aud tools were taken
and that their jeWelrs and some money
were not removed from their bodies,
seems to prove this. Keller says there
was every In OCCASION that the Salvador
mine was paying and he believes the mine
sought for by the Mexioans is not far
from the other, AID is known to the
parties who were at work. No one here
knows who the murderous proapectors
were, and as the region in which the
events occurred is almost inaccessible, it
is not likely that any one will ste1b to
work the old mine and bury the Ney leans
before spring.

Shutting down will throw about 700 out
of EN- pIoyment, and the outlook for a
speedy adjustment of affairs is not
good. A strange fatality has been
connected with the property out of
which the Ohio & Western grew. James
l.. Burkey, who committed suicide in S..
a St. Louis hotel, was harassed TO the last
by thoughts of the fortunes he had lost
among the Hooking Hills. George
Lee, who killed himself in a New
York hotel, was haunted in his dying
hour, by che spectre of ruin in coal fields
of Ohio. Royal NJ. Pulsifer, founder of
the Boston Herald, took his own life some
months ego, and though he had many
other business complications he too
sought the tabled spot of gold that
was going to be buried at
the foot of the western rainbow. The
Standard Coal il Iron company, out OF
which the Ohio d Western grew, was
colossal aft air, with a capital of seventy
five millions. This is the company IN
which James g. Blaine aHd S eve
Elkins were interested, holding S25,

and F. L. Harper, president of the late
Fidelity bank, OF Cincinnati, had $780,

still have their bonds.

A GIFT TO HARRISON
A Bible Presented to the General by
121 Old Soldiers.
He Makes Pathetic Response and the
Veterans Pass out i'm Tears.
Mcmillan is Called to indianapolis
by General Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-There is a lull
in cabinet speculation, and the situation
remains practically the same. There Is
no longer any doubt about Mr.. B!aine's
acceptance to the state portfolio. 90
position to exSecretary Window for the
treasury portfolio Is developing to Ger
tain extent. Col. J. G. New is regarded
by number of politicians as having a
fair pros pect of being offered the treas
ury, but there are others who assert thar
he is booked for the Austrian mission.
There has been considerable talk about
United States District Judge Woods for
a cabinet place, but that gentleman SAID
today that he had no such aspira-
tions. This afternoon over a hundred
members of Marion county Tippecanoe
club called on Gen. Harrison for the pur-
pose of presenting him with costly and
elegant bible, purchased by the club
specially designed for Gen. Harrison.
On the blank pages are recorded the
names of 40 veterans who have gone
from earth, and the signatures of the
121 members who partici pated in the gift.
They were received informally by
the general. The sacred book was placed
OCtoLO tho SlcCb anu hSS LIZ.
Henry Day made brief but eloq uent
presentation address in the course of
which ne invoked the guidance of Divine
wisdom and strength for the general in
the new and arduous duties he is about to
undertake. Gen. Harrison responded,
thanking the veterans teelingly
for the many evidences they had
given him of their respect and affection
ate regard, both now and in the past. He
concluded as follows: 'I cannot hope TO
escape just criticism in the discharge of
the enormous and complicated duties
which are soon TO devoIve upon me, but I
do hope that I shall escape fatal error,
and that it will appear when
my inadequate and brief work
is done that have set before me, as the
pole star OF my public life, patriotic
purpose TO promote the true glory of
our country and the hig hest good of our
people. God bless you, every one of you.
May the consultations of this holy book
fill your lives with peace, and make the
last the best day of all your honorable
lives"
At the conclusion of the generals
touching words the veterans passed along
silently and grasped his hand, many of
them nearly Ia tears. The scene was
the most solemn and impressive ever
with messed in the Harrison residence.

Parnell's position by showing the gigan-
tic and widespread organization in Amer

CarOn are palpably incredible, represent
