THE LOST CABIN MINES
Three More Lives Lost in the Search "a
Its Fabulous Riches.

Three More Lives Lost in the SrAreh for
Its Fabulous Riches.
The discovery has just Geen reported
TO Carbon county authorities of the
skeletons Of three men in G camp in the
widest portion of the Wolf mountains.
The frames were lying close together,
wrapped in blankets, and the manner of
death is a profound mystery. A small
sum Of money and a watch were found
in the pockets of one Of the men. max
ing it evident that, if they were muir
dered. the crime was not committed for
mercenary motives. A diary, which had
been carefully kept to Aug. 2S, 1886, by
one of the prospectors, told their story
to day or so before death. Their names
were Charles E. Burnes, E. Nathan Hub
bard and George Cantline. and they had
left Linkville, Ore, in the spring of 1886
to search for the legendary Lost Cabin
gold mines.
These mines, it is said, were opened by
q party of Argonauts more than forty
years ago, and are reputed immensely
rich. The adventures were driven out
one fall by Indians. and, returning in
the spring, were wholly unable to relocate
their claims. The savages had effectu-
ally destroyed every evidence of the pres
ence of white men. Even the trails had
been completely obliterated. The major
ity of the party gave up the search after
afew months, but two gold fever victims
remained in the region for years. event.
ually becoming demented hermits and
finally dying in their mountain home.
Prominent citizens of Wyoming have
from time to time outfitted parties to
hunt for the mines, but all searches have
been fruitless. The Indians have kept
their secret well. That it is still in their
possession is evident by periodical sales
of virgin gold by the crafty chief of a
small band of predatory Utes Burnes'

that the Indians concealed the wealth,
and says that either an earthquake or
landslide removed the valuable gulch
The three men prospected in different
directions each day, and moved their
camp two or three times week. Burnes
writes in one place: 1--WE will dig over
every inch of this wilderness before we
give up. The discovery will make us
all millionaires." The area of Wolf
mountains is several hundred thousand
acres.
The skeletons of the three prospectors
have been minutely examined by sur
geons, but nothing showing the cause of
death has been discovered Violence
and starvation are out of the question.
They may have favored their game with
some poisonous weed. A favorite theory,
and one with precedcnts, is that one of
the three poisoned, smothered or stran-

The following strange history has been
whispered abroad concerning one of the
principal dressmakers of Paris, a woman
whose taste and elegance of design in
certain details of feminine costume are
we'll known. 1t appears that there
exists in Paris law forbidding any
house that employs work people from
forcing them to work after a stipulated
hour, which is, I think, 10 o'clock. The
pressure of orders inevitable to the exhi-
bition season tempted Madame x to
break this law. Her workrooms were
in full tide of operation one evening,
near midnight, when an ominous sum-
mons sounded at the door, followed by
the dreaded mandate: "Open, in the
name of the law!"
In an instant the goods and sewing
implements were whisked out of sight,
the lights were extinguished, and the
work women were hidden away here,
there and everywhere. One girl, deli
cate little creature, was hurriedly thrust
into great wardrobe hung with dresses,
the door closed and locked upon her, and
the key removed. The visit of inspec-
ton of the police revealed nothing, and
as soon as they had taken their depart
ure the girls were released from their
hiding places. But, when the wardrobe
door was unlocked, the corpse of the un-
happy child who had been concealed
there fell upon the floor. She had died
of suffocation. This story has been
hushed up, not hint of it appearing in
the Paris papers.-Philadelphia Tele-

A Mirage on the Plains.

We witnessed the most perfect mirage
we ever saw on the Laramie plains one
evening recently. 1t was about an hour
before sunset, and, looking out of car
window, we saw beautiful lake a mile
away. 1t was in slight depression among
the hills, and seemed to be about two
miles long by mile wide. Never hav-
ing noticed a lake at that place on the
road, we were considerably astonished
and asked the conductor for an explana-
ton. He was equally astonished, as
were passengers familiar with the road.
AS the train advanced, the lake appeared
to enlarge and rise, but in spite of this
it was difficult to believe the appearance
was simply that optical delusion known
as mirage, and that what appeared to be
lake was grassy, level plain. The
apparent lake was as smooth and bright
as a mirror, except at one edge, where it
appeared to be ruffled by the wind. The
strange sight was viewed with wonder
by hundreds of passengers until it was
out of sight.-Rock Springs Indepen-

An ECCENTRIC millionaire.

The most eccentric millionaire in New
York is probably Charles Broadway
Rouss He served in the Confederate
army under Stonewall jackson and is a
Virginian by birth. Thirteen years ago
he was ruined and S50,000 in debt. To-
day he is building massive structure,
200 feet deep, rs feet front and 10 stories
high, on Broadway. This building will
cost 81 900, ,000when finished, and is paid
for step by step. His business methods
are unique. He has 400 employees and
pays 70 off every day. This makes every
day pay day. His annual income is
estimated at S550,OOO. Mr.. Rouss' en-
ergy is wonderful. He works from in
the morning till 10at night. He does not
spend more than $1,000 per year outside
of his household expenses. His principal
source of amusement is to stand on the
rear platform of a street car and throw
dimes and nickels to boys. A short time
ago an English syndicate offered him
So, 100000 for his business. Mr. Rouss,
who is So years old, is a great advocate
of phonetic spelling, and writes all his
personal letters on that plan.-New York

Railways in China.

An imperial decree has been issued
directing that the two ends of the Pc
king -Hankow railway shall be begun
simultaneously. In the opinion of the
emperor the extension of the railway
system is essential to the prosperity and
influence of China At the same time
his majesty recognizes the existence of
popular distrust and suspicion, and in
ofeler that they may be dispelled calls
upon the viceroys of the various prov.
inces to issue proclamations explanatory
of the innovation. He earnestly enjoins
upon all his subjects the desirability of
working together to attain success.

Beyond all expectation with the grand sue
cess that has crowned our efforts to supply
the good people of Henry county with relia-
BILE clothing for as low prices as they had been
accustomed to pay for ordinary goods, we
have bought double the quantity of any pre-
vious season. We base our claim for your
patronage alone on our lowest prices; we
fearlessly assert that our shapes are prettier,
the styles more tasty, and the trimmings bet
ter than can be secured in any garments sold
by any firm in Napoleon. And, again, there
is another advantage of buying from us, which
is this: We show a stock from which TO se-
lect that is as large as would be the combined

don't have to take what you can get; no, no,
you can get just what you want And keep
this fact in mind. No matter what prices

KOssuth's Patriotism.

A rumor of offered Italian naturaliza-
tion has prompted Louis Kossuth to de-
clare in advance that he should decline
such a proposal, preferring to die Hunga-
rian. This declaration, as coming from a
patriot who has never looked after the
loaves and fishes, is invaluable. In nine
out of ten cases the change of nationality
is only an affair of tleshpots. and in crisis
between the two lands the human chame-
leon will be sure to take his native hue,
which has never been really absent, but
only hidden by the creature.-London

Very Funny, Indeed,

Two very humorous boys are in Jail at
Burlingt On, Ia. They had a tame crane
and funny idea. The idea was to catch
another smaller boy and hold him while
they made the crane peck at him. They
did this, and the crane pecked out one
of the small boys eyes. The judge sent
the boys to Jail for fifteen and thirty
days. When they get out the victim of
their humor ought to organize posse
and capture them and tie them up and
have little fun with the crane himself.
This would appeal strongly to their
moral natures. Chicago Mail.

been on trial for several weeks ia the
circuit court before Judge Jameson,
was finished yesterday when the jury
came in with its verdict. The suit was
brought by Mrs. Leslie Carter, who
charged her husband with unnamable
offenses. Mr.. Carter filed a cross bill
charging his wife with adultery. The
prominence of the parties, the unusual
beauty of Mrs. Carter and other matters
unusual in such hearings, made 1t u
celebrated case, and the court room has
been crowded since the trial began. The
verdict when announced was TO the ef-
feet that Mrs. Carter was guilty Of
adultery as charged in the cross bill, and
that Mr.. Carter was not guilty of the
charges preferred against him in his
wife's bill. Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Carter
were present when the verdict was am
nounced.
