They Secured $4,000.

BROWNSVILLE, TEX, Jan. 19.-At
noon to-day the train on the Rio Grande
Railroad between here aud Point Isabel
was wrecked and robbed by 10 masked
men. They placed distractions on the
track, derailing the train, held up the
passengers, and got away with about
$50, 900 in American money, which was
en- route for shipment at Brazos by the
steamboat Morgan to New Orleans.
The ships mail was also taken and
passengers robbed of money and valua-
bles. A brakeman was badly injured in
the wreck. The Sheriff and posse are

Hres were rekindled, and more explorers
went out than had visited that country for
years. Their reports were invariably '.too
gooo TO believe and were set aside as in
credible, and not until they were verified
Dy the actual bringing in of large quaint
tleS OF ore and assayed were they accepted.
Inc ellison strike in the Buckhorn mine
was the signal for q stampede to Dugway
ana Deep Creek, and for the past two
weeks the western mountains have been
awe with prospectors. Yet tho
country is so extensive, and the spring so
backward that it will probably be six
months before it can be even meagerly
prospected
The fact that ore is being hauled to this
city by wagons will stimulate the railroads
and 1t would not be surprising if within the
present year at least two lines will be built,
DUGwAY
Sam Gilson'S recent strike in the Buck
morn has turned attention to Dugway and
for the last few weeks that camp has
largely monopolized the attention of the
mining men and attracted thither large
snare OF the prospectors that have set out
to the Deep Creek country.
This wonderful find in the Ruckhorn is
no chlmera but an authenticated fact
The carload of ore that was sampled at
the Conklin sampling works, and as as
sayed by McVicker lately went 81 per
cent. lead, COB. rs ounces in silver and 3. FOL
ounces in gold to the ton. Several speci-
mems from the mine gave an assay of IA per
cent. lead, 2,375.04 ounces silver and 3
ounces in gold. The second class ore
yielded 275 ounces of silver and IL ounces
in gold.
Its richness is also verified by half a
dozen prospectors who have since returned
to the city and who saw the body of ore
with their own eyes.
THE SILVER KING
mine at the north end of Dugway, owned
by William L. Mills, is big low grade
property with vein that spreads out as
far as fifty feet wide. The first class ore
from this vein was ten ounces of silver and
35 per cent in lead The vein has hean

plenty OF water barrels and kegs. as the
distance between watering places is far
Pickles and acids are very essential on &C
count OF the bad water of Fish Springs.
THE ROUTE.
1.-THE route I would take" said DR..
Faust, would be through Rush valley by
the old Faust station, Point Lookout, Simp-
son springs, then you can go to Dugway
or Fish Springs.
1.-The distance from here to Stockton was,
by the old mail route 40 miles: Faust sta
ton is % miles further; Point Lookout, 9
miles; Simpson Springs, miles; Dugway,
70 miles; Fish Springs, 30 miles; Willow
Springs, 35 miles, and Deep Creek or Cliff
ton, 80 miles"
JUDGE wAMPLER'S OPINION.
1.-THE most ore will come from Dugway
and Clifton" said Judge Wampler 1.-The
average in Clifton is thirty ounces OF sill
yer, 40 per cent. lead, and 81 in gold. That
Is The medium of a thousand assays. The
ores in Clifton do not vary much from
those in Dugway. The Harriet and Ameri-
can mines have their shafts down 100 feet
The vein in the American is from three to
i've feet wide and the ore grows richer
every time you strike the pick. The assays
OF ore at the 100 foot level run thirty six
ounces silver and 30 per cent lead.n
RESOURCES OF THE COUNTRY.
J. w. Moffat, chief engineer of Salt Lake
q Wyoming railway, in speaking Of the
resources OF this country said:
"Ihere are rich agricultural la nds in
Iooele ana Skull valleys and well calculated
for raising stock, which industry is
now carried on to small
extent. The first mining country
reached is that of Grantsville,
Tvh "a hn Tn,, h;,,lr
and this mine alone has over 10000 tons OF
ore in sight. Further on is the Dugway
district which will be reached by branch
This section will develop into another
Iintic with the advent of a railroad. Across
the desert is the Deep Greek country on
the Nevada line, with which many people
are familiar and which contains the Clifton
and Furber districts former being on
the Utah side and the latter in Nevada
Then in close proximity and on the line of
the road when continued on to Nevada are
the Kingsley district where is situated
the famous Morning Star mine, the Dolly
Warden, Spruce Mountain, etc.''
THE STAGE ROUTE.
The stage route as indicated on the map
| will be adhered to- though certain changes
may be made where the route can be
shortened by little expense in grading a
''cut off," Colonel Lett, who is at the head
of the stage line, said last evening that the
exact location Of the stations would not be
definitely known until the return of MIR.
Wallace, who is now on the route arrang-
ing for their location. All that is known at
the present time is that the route will be-
gin at Stockton, the terminus of the rail-
way and the first station will be at st.
Johns. He did not know whether Serb.
ner's or some other point would be Sc.
lected. One of the principal stops will be
at Dugway and the present terminus for a
few days will be at Fish Springs.
AS soon as the line can be supplied with
additional horses it will be extended to the
Deep Creek country.

when he inquired of druggist of the same

cold. 1t was not necessary for him to say
more; his countenance showed that the pet

the druggist. "His baby, when eighteen
months old, got hold of bottle of Cham

vomit very freely, but did not iniure it in
the least and what is more, it cured the
