The Famous Mountain of Iron Has Ceased
To Be Productive.
The celebrated Pilot Knob mines have
been worked since 1876, and during the
years intervening Ia the present time have
produced an almost fabulous amount OF
ore. says the st. Louis Republic. The
mines reached their zenith in 1884. when
they produced 10000 tons. This output
was continued for about three years, when
ID began rapidly falling of. and two years
ago the Vulcan works, whose capacity is
1900 tons per month. were closed for
want Of sufficient ore. The company com

clusion was forced upon the company

ANOTHER GOLD EXCITEMENT.
This Time ON Turn Creek. Near Lander,
Wyoming.

Wyoming.
LANDER, Wyo., July 17.-Since the re-
port Of the gold strike on Turn creek,
near here, several days q rumors IF
discoveries have been coming i'm almost
daily, which eliminated Saturday in the
receipt Of news which is corroborated by
fifteen or twenty late arrivals of n very
rich strike near Atlantic, ~ miles south OF
this place. Two boys, Phil Harsch. Dr.,
and Sam Davis, aged Ii and II respec-
lively. have been working three new
claims 800 feet south of the famous Buck
eye mine. Saturday they struck a lead
which has since proven to be the richest
discovery i'm the country for years.
Not fully realizing the value OF the
find the boys gave n bond To a Colo
radio man to sell the three claims inside
of 20 days for 5000 cash. Immediately
after the bond was given the purchaser
left for the railroad tn get his money.
After his disappearance the boys had
some of the ore assayed, and their cha
grin may be imagined when the assay
showed S23, 400 per ton in free gold. Some
later assays has given as high as $4,000
per ton.
For years much rich fioat rock has been
picked up i'm this vicinity. but all efforts
To find the lead have up to the present
time proven fruitless, unless this discovery
is the solution of the question.
Claims are being gobbled up in a hurry,
as the excitement has become intense.

The hoary trees, with May-dews wet,
Dropped SIS the shadow past;
And as thy lessening form departs,
While stand the eleven around.
Thy blessing falls into their hearts
Like dew upon the ground.
"And still the silver cloud from Heaven.
That stopped to be thy car,
Mounts upward from the lone eleven,
Like some receding star;
And hymns come down, like whispers heard
By those who love them well,
Tones OF the old prophetic word,
The voice OF Israel:

Doors of the eternal dome
Be lift, that in triumphantly
The King OF glory come"
