Not long since a prospector was ex-
ploring the Death Valley country. He
camped in the mountains at d spring and
stayed at the same place for some weeks.
His pack mules strayed among the noun
tains, and he went in search for them, says
the Inyo "Independsnt."
They were found near a spring where
there was good grass. The miner went to
the spring to get water, and near by saw
part OF an ore sack sticking put OF the
ground. lie removed some of the dirt and
found that the sack was full OF ore, and g.
little furthsr search brought to light four
other sacks of ore. All the sacks we're very
rotten and had evidently been in tue
ground a long time. The miner
caught his mules, vent back to his
camp for sacks, and then returned
and got the ore. He carried it out to where
it could be milled, and from the five sacks,
each containing about seventy pounds of
ore, he realized $1,000. Not long after
finding this ore the miner met an Indian
who is well known in that region and who
knew that the man had found the ere. The
miner asked the Indian what had become
OF the men who had hidden the ore, and the
Indian replied: "Mebbe so Indian heap kill
'um."
Men are now searching for the ledge
where this ore was taken from. In O. small
canyon on the east side of Death Valley is
O small spring. Prospectors went there for
water, and b. short distance above the
spring found groupings that are very rich
IN gold. There are slight traces that a lit.
tie work had been done there at someform-
er time.

Bow Knot LOOp.

The famous Bow Knot Loop is on the
Colorado Central Division OF the Union
Pacific just beyond Georgetown.
After leaving Georgetown. the chief point
OF interest is 1.-THE Loop and here it is
that the real glories of the trip are appre.
ciated. The mind can readily understand
now q train may wind through q chasm.
1t is less easy. however, to realize how, be-
ginning to rise along the side, the eleva-
ton continues until the tourist looks
down upon a town, as it were in miniature.
Continuing on it's tortuous course, the
train worms it's way up a steep grade
and skirts the sides OF the mountains
that lose their crests in snow. In the
valley flows the little stream of Clear
creek. Past DEVILS Gate and Bridal Veil
Falls the engine curves and climbs. Look
ing directly above, q railroad track is seen
on a high iron bridge over-spanning the
track almost at right angles, but in the
form OF a crescent. The tourist wonder
ingly inquiries, what road ia that above,
and how did it get there?" For a little
way the track is comparatively straight;
then it veers to the right, crosses the
creek and starts down the valley, but still
going up grade. For perhaps a quarter OF
a mile this continues. Then the creek is

ing directly down, a track is seen below.
Then the tourist wonders what track that
is and how it got there. He looks
again before satisfying himself that it is
the same track he has just passed over.
He is o on the bridge up to which he was
looking but a moment ago. He then re-
alizes that he has just ridden over an i'm
mense loop-one of four in existence.
There is one on the Southern Pacific, one
in Switzerland, and in the Andes of South
America, but this is the most complex of
them all. The bridge just crossed is 300
feet long and &c high. From Georgetown
it can be seen one way, nestled in the noun
tains; looking at it from the other way
there seems to be nothing but a confusion
of tracks.
1t is a remarkable climb from here to the

A Safe Bet.

A couple OF well known gentlemen made
a bet yesterday which clearly illustrated
that no matter how much the average man
denounced ''sure thing" propositions, the
mate desire to get the better of some one
else lies latent within everybody. The
gentlemen were discussing the s~lugging
match Of the day before between the two
champion brutes and one OF them wondered
whom the next person to be knocked out'
by Sullivan would he. The other studied
q few moments and then replied that he
would be willing to be fifty dollars that it
would be some ~bootblack, servant girl or
person Of that kind and said he would put
up his money for six months. The bet
was taken and the money deposited with q
stakeholder and the gentleman who bet in
the affirmative is now congratulating him
self on the fact that the sucker" crop
this season is fully up to the average, not
w~ithstanding the drouth.

PREDICTS AN ECONOMIC REVOLT
TON.

In the "F0rum" for June, the Rev. DR..
William Barry constructs an argument
to show the essentially unchristian meth
DDS of distributing and holding wealth,
and predicts an economic revolution
proceeding peacefully from the Christian
standard of justice. The ordinary mo-
nopolist he describes as one who is con-
WINGED that, on the side of those that
have, among whom he has gained a foot
ing, there stands not only legal Justice,
represented by parchment and red tape,
but also the nature Of things, or what
the late Mr.. Matthew Arnold would term
reason and the will Of God"
The highest powers, he thinks, are with
him. The inheritance of mankind from
past ages-the arts, titeraturss, sciences,
distinction of manners, individual free
dom-all, all, he cries out, repose on the
practically unlimited right Of private
property as their sure foundation.
But, Mr.. Barry adds, IL that alone is
civilization which brings out the ethical,
the human aspects of life, II do not hest
tate to say that the manner in which
wealth is now made, and the conditions
under which it is divided, are among the
least civilized that could be dreampt of.
The decencies Of life, the glory Of intel
~lectual discovery, the progress of relig-
ion-what do these owe to the custom
whereby a man goes on doubling his in
come every two or three years, while his
~wage-earning slaves become more and
more dependent on him, more and more
defenseless against him, the richer he

Marcus Days Valuable Trotting Stallion
Gone to the Horse Heaven.
DIR. Bovett received a dispatch last even
ing from Anaconda summoning him hastily
to 60 down on q special to attend Marcus
Days horse Governor, who won the g.
minute race at the track last Friday. The
horse had suddenly ami without any pre-
monition developed an alarming case of
sickness, from what cause is at present IN
known. Before the special could be made
up DR.. Bovett received a second dispatch
about 1890 O'Clock last evening saying
that the noble animal was dead. but direct
ing him to go down to Anaconda in the
morning to hold a postmortem. The horse
had been owned by Mr.. DAILY for about
three years and was valued at about $1O,-
300. He was 5 years old and this was the
first season he had been trotted. He was
sired by Echo, a California horse, damned
by the Senator Jones mare, and was a full
brother to Senator. and had every prospect
OF a brilliant record. The race he ran here
is the only record he made. He is pro.
nounced to have been without doubt the
finest looking stallion in America, without
a blemish on him, and his loss will be a
source OF great regret to his owner.
