VAST WALLS OF WEALTH.
Wonderful Discoveries Made In the Grand
Canon Of Colorado.

Colonel Stanton, commander of the recent
exploring expedition in the Grand Canon OF
the Colorado river, makes public some inter
estins precious mineral discoveries which his
party made in that far-famed canon. IT now
appears that the whole rposon why Harry
Mcdonald deserted the expedition was on nc
count of these rich discoveries. lie quit the
party in the canon, and made his way to
Knaub Utah, where he made known the new
finds, organized n company of prcspectors, and
they arc now in the canon in force, the news
having leaked out and general stampede
being the result Mr.. Stanton has fine selec-
ton of minerals rs we'll rs coal, marble etc.
He saws that four hundred miles OF the
canon shows wealth of the precious mineral.
The top walls of the canon show quartz veins
in places and assays from specimens obtained
on the trip down the river demonstrates that
these veins are remarkably rich. The action
OF the water has worn smooth the sides OF the
canon. and the vein of matter is clearly dis
cernible Placer gold is found nearly the Ell,
tire length of the river. Every point panned
produced color, and in places the bars were
found to contain coarse gold III surprising
quantities. Inonc place south of Lees Ferry
veins were found which had evidently been
developed in crude way by the Indians,
perhaps by the now extinct race OF Aztecs.
Mr.. Stanton says the placcrs can be easily
worked because there is no. lack of water
fnciliti s. a short distance below Lees Ferry
the expedition ran across old Jack Sumner, n
member of Major Powclls original expedition,
1869, washing out gold in primitive way,
and taking out from IS to 81 per day. Sum-
ner, aged with the twenty odd years he has
spent in the canon, is still looking for the i'm
ncnse mineral Outcroppings which were dis
covered by Major powcls expedition in 1Ste.
Col. Stanton is of the clicf that he has rclo-
Gated the bonanza so much talked about by
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1890-04-19

MUTILATED UNTIL DEAD.
,hc Horrible Murder ofa Miner In Hibcr-
min New Jersey.

The Horrible Murder ofa Miner In Hibcr-
mia, New Jersey.
INTEL gence of horrible murder comes from
Hibern;a. It is a mining village, where about
two hundred Hunearians are employed. A
party o: miners were drinking in the princi-
pal saloon, when quarrel broke out between
three of the party about The payment Tor some
drinks -xhi ii they had had. The man who
started the quarrel has been very unpopular
for some time, and upon HIM the other two
set, and one of them smashed his skull with a
beer bottle. After receiving the blow of the
bottle he was thrown down and kicked most
brutally. TIE bartender then helped him out
of the saloon, and he staggered 10 his room in
a boarding house nearby. Thence he was iorci-
by t ken by his assailants, and, all bruised
and blte ing and half unconscious, was banged
to tree. The whole affair lasted but few
minutes. Passers-by found him and cut him
down som after the gang had gone but life
was extinct. He died soon afterwards: There
is hot feeling in the neighborhood against
the prisoners. The police rested three Of ais
assailants shortly afterwards. Two are stlli
sought by the police.
The dead mans body was found TO he
frightfuIly mutilatod. Ills head and body
were mass Of Commissions and bruises: Ills
