A RICH GOLD FIND.
Remarkable Strike Made in the
Casper Mountains.
Relocation of a Gold Mine Rban,
d0ned in 1866.
Original Owners Stopped by Indians
at that Time.

In 1866, DR.. Benson tolls the Casper
Derrick, two miners held rich claims in
the mountains in the vicinity of old Fort
Casper. At hat time old man Seminole
had a cabin in tie same vicinity. The
miners ran out of grub one DAY and
traded Seminole gold for some provisions,
after which they would frequently come
down to Seminole's for provisions, etc,
for all of which they traded gold. They
were asked if they had paying ore at their
claius and invariably replied yes, and
tried to get people from Semipole's to 20
up with them and start a mining camp.
The claimed to have rich, free-mIlling
shot-gold ore, but the Indians were so
numerous and troublesome at times that
even a greed for gold and silver failed to in
duce anyone to join the two adventurous
miners. From Seminole's cabin the miners
could be seen going and coming, and dur
ing their visits they wonld frequently
point out the location OF the claim. This
state of affairs continued for several
weeks when finally one day one of the
miners rushed exeitedly into Seminole's
cabin with the new that his partner had
been killed. He had heard four shots fired
back in camp and had heard Indians
yell and knew that his partner had been
killed or there would have been more
shooting. The next day the people at
Seminole's (among whom was Benson
were going after the body, but found the
Indians so numerous they had to aban-
don it. Benson Joined a party going to
Goose creek where Sheridan now isl and
had forgotten the circumstance until it was
recalled to him BY the recent mining ex-
element IN Casper mountain. He has
frequently recalled the circumstance since
then, and expressed his confidence OF be-
ing able to find the mine. Accordingly,
Tuesday, he and II. A. Lilly started.in
search of it. They first located the site
of Seminole's old cabin, and from there
proceeded to the canyon from which he
used to see the miners come. They en-
tered the canyon and soon found an old
blazed tree. Then they found another
and another, until they reached the spot
that Benson declared resembled the one
the miner used to describe as the camp.
A search revealed an old rotten piece of
cloth that resembled a coat collar, when
suddenly Mr.. Lilly stopped and picked up
an old Colt army cap aud ball ~six-shooter.
1t was of the patent Of 1850 and could
hardly have been in use later than 1866.
1t was in a remarkably well preserved
state, and four chambers were empty
while two we're loaded with powder and
ball. That evidently accounts for the four
shots that Benson has repeatedly stated
had been fired as the Indians had few fire
arms in those days and the shooting was
probably done by the unfortunate miner.
Benson and Lilly her broke off a few
pieces from a remarkably rich gold and
silver ore, ard returned to own much ex-
cited. They are keeping the location of
the ore a profound secret.

Ear Jewels.

It is exceedingly gratifying to
observe that this relic of barbarism
is fast disappearing. Already many
of the best ladies' of the land have
discarded this manner of adoru-
ment and many others would
speedily follow suit, could they
once be prevailed upon to stop and
consider what it means. They have
worn jewels in their ears simply
because it was the fashion, and
never gave it q thought beyond that
fact. They never paused to realize
that they were perpetuating and
handing down to posterity q heather
practice, for it certainly is nothing
less than barbarism. Punch holes
in the ears! Mar the human form,
and especially the divine form Is
woman, to hang a jewel.
The very idea is revolving. A.

mated in the creation Of woman,
