Another OF John VI. HoWcilss Letters
TO The Mining journal.
Under date Of Osceola, November
9th, John NJ. Howell contributes the
following TO the Salt Lake Mining
Journal:
There are so many good things in
this part of Eastern Nevada that |
must claim space in the Journal to
say a little about them, that your
many readers may know where to
come in order to load up with
lime contact bonanzas, and come
early-to avoid the rush-for boom
is as certain to take place here as the
rise OF to.morrow's sun.
am not writing To amuse myself
merely, but TO bring into general
notice this more than wonderful min
eral country, that has hitherto been
run over by prospectors not under
standing the horizontal way Of the
ore in lime eontact form. Yesterday
| visited Mount Maria in company
with r. Mlllick. There l saw one of
best mines in lime blanket, cut with
vertical, | ever saw. There Is gray
copper aud yellow ehlorides, and four
feet OF it standing out of the ground
circlng the hill over 400 feet, dip
ping west almost fiat. Next is the
Apex in blanket form, the ore run
ming $500 to the ton. There is a good
wagon road on Mount Maria within
two miles of the Minnie and Apex
lodes, making them easy of access.
There is also a steam saw mill close
at hand. These two mines can easily
ship carload OF ore per day, and
would judge from The quantity of ore
in sight, that this amount could be
be kept up for year. But the above
two mines raise no excitement here,
as they are a common thing in the
many mining districts throughout
Eastern Nevada.
One word about water, timber and
grass. In this the jeff Davis range
of mountains, there is plenty Of
the best of water, good timber and
grass; couple with these plenty of
good ore, and the mining man asks
for nothing more. And these l will
guarantee.

Cowboys on the Rnmpa &c I.

A band of cowboys from White
River were in town Wednesday in
dulging in friendly greeting and So
cial chat Toward evening, however,
they started in to "paint 'er red, and
kept danbing on the vermillion until
past midnight. Our town has been so
quiet of late that none of US object
to little Evening up on any of the
ordinary lines of amusement. But
when it comes to riding up and down
Main street at break-neck speed,
whooping and yelling and firing their
pistols, like wild Apaches, frighten-
ing women and children, and disturb
ing the slumbers of peaceful citizens,
it is time to draw the line. The law
prescribes a fine of 800 for shooting
fire arms within the town limits, and
our local officers give fair warning
that the law will henceforth be en-
forced.

A Cheap Process.

The Deadwood Pioneer is authority
for the statement that during the past
year the Homestead ore has only run
So 60 per ton and Deadwood-T Terra
but 81 40 per ton. yet the former
company has paid 10-cent dividends
every month and has surplus of
$4,000. while the latter is paying
5-ceut dividends monthly and has a
surplus of 100000. If this is cor
rect and we presume it is, Robinson
District, right here at our door, would,
with the same milling facilities. easily
pay a monthly divided of So. And,
yet, capital is slow to embrace this
grand opportunity. We are too far
away from railroads, and there is
where the trouble comes in.

After few days of travel they stoppe
at large city, and went to visit the
sights and principal buildings. In walk

when her attention was arrested by the
inscription over the entrance 'Insape

She expressed desire to enter it.

able TO crafty any wish of hers, gladly
acceded. The attendant led them from
cell to cell where they saw the poor un-
fortunates, some of whom were violent
and foaming with rage, and others
grinning and laughing over their
strange fancieS.
All this was new to the young pair,
and interested them as comedy would.
The man in attendance opened the last

CHAPTER I'll.

The marriage bells rang merrTiy,
while the wedding guests were crowd
ing to the church, all filled with anx-
iety to see the bridal pair. Lena, the
white, teautiful bride, elegantly
dressed, walked with down cast eyes
by the side of young Kleeman, whose
fine figure, beaming countenance, and
eyes shining with joyful light, made
a pleasing picture to look upon.
AS they walked into the church, the
organ commenced, and In its solemn
tones Lena imagined that she heard
the farewell notes of her happiness.
The Priest was waiting Prayer
Book In hand, and they knelt before
him.
Lena was deaf to the voice of the
Priest. and prayed to God with all her
soul: "Glve me now o God, a sign of
thy power. Thou can'st with one word
still this beating heart, and close these
eyes in death. Release me. o kind
Father from this misery! Give me
some token OF thy pity and thy loveP'
She looked aro und as If expecting to
see some Divine interpostIoh, hut
naught met her gaze, but the upturned
faces of the gnests.
The Priest ceased his prayers, and
they all arose, then the marriage cere-
mony commenced. "Will you take
this woman for your wifeP" asked the
man Of God and young Kleeman In
firm proud tone answered, "Yesi''
''Will you lake this man for your
and Lena in fearful an
guish, half senseless, looked around
still, for some token that her prayer
would be answered, but seeing none, a
look OF gloomy despair o'er spread her
and her limbs trembled so
that she could scarcely stand. All
eyes we're upon h er as she turned to
Kleeman and saw the angry glance, and
bitter smile upon his face. mol" she
said III an inaudible tone, 81 cannot
give myself to that man, and L shall
not"
The Priest repeated the question:
''Will yon take this man for your hus-
band?" Lena glanced again at her
almost husband, who was as white as
herself, and summoning all her strength
and courage, she answered In loud,
clear tone, that rang through the
church: mol" and fell senseless upon
The floor.

with grief; sobs choked hsr utterance
as she tried to speak.
The Count continued: "How often
nave dreamed of the golden future
i0hted by your sweet smiles, Lena, my
lost Ovel | have sat by the hour, trying
10 picture our happiness when we should
journey through life, side by side. And
now to think that all is overall lostl
An Inexorable, cruel fate has torn You
rom me and henceforth must lead a
ionely, loveless, joyless lifeI o my God,
how can bear it?"
Every word that the young man had
spoker, added to the pain that Lena
mad already experienced; but her first
thought WAS of his anguish and how
she could comfort him. She kissed
him ferventIy, and said in broken
tones: "My Albert, as long as
live, my thoughts will be al
ways OF you. In all my
misery, | find comfort In the thought
that you love me, aud feel that II /

should die happy, dearest-and then
L would be yours to all eternity; my
spirit would watch over you and com
fort you - but when | think of marry
ing that man he knows that do not

"And do you love me 80 much?"
asked the young man, as he kissed her
eyes and sweet mouth. Are YOU

very hard, my Angel. that one should
come between us and our happiness.
But you are mine to all Eternity,
Lena, even If you do bear the name of

YES Albert, l am yours forever"
sobbed Lena, "and-" but the kisses of
the Count prevented her from finishing
her protestations, and caused her to for
get for the moment, that on the next
day-she would become the wife of
another man, and that the low being
In whose arms she now rested, would
lose all that LIE held dear in life.
And you Will swear always to re-
main mine, Lena?"
Albert, 1 swear that 1 will,
And tomorrow, you must"
Lena gave a cry and covered her
face with her hands, for she remem-
bered that she had come to bid her
lover adleu. She stood so long sobbing
that the Count became impatient, aud
gave her most unlover-like look, but
the poor girl did not see 1t. With a
great effoct she I rned her tear-stained
face toward him. and, taking his hand
said: Dear, dear Albert, we must
part now. o cruel Fate that has for
hidden me to become your wife and
bear your beloved namel-but remem-
Der that I shall remain yours heart and
soul though world should revolve be-
tween usl Farewell!'-and she fed TO
the house.
The young Count looked after the
light form until 1t disappeared from
his view, and said with a sarcastic
laugh, my 1Cife! Truly that would
be fine piece of work to join my high,
titled name. 10 that of a low-born shop

CHAPTER VIII,

| Again the marriage bells rang right
/ merrlly, and again the CUES s came
crowding into the church, with a much
greater anxiety to see the ''bridal
pair" than they displayed the first
time.
The young couple entered the church.
What changel Instead of the " hite,
trembling girl that they saw six
months ago approaching the same al
tar, beautiful woman, with blushing
cheeks and beaming eyes walks
proudly beside the man that she loves.
How her heart beat with Joy and
thanksgiving for the gift that she be-
lieved Heaven had sent to herl Only
six months before. she had shrunk FROM

than she should I Q 'oms his wife. o,
the magical change that love has
wrought
They knelt again before the Priest
upon the steps of the same altar, but
now praise and prayer were In Lena's
heart; 30 God l thank thee for this
great, great happiness, and l pray that
we may never be parted either in this
world or the nextl'
The Priest finished the prayers, and
they all arose. "WllI you take this
man for your husband?" he asked
turning to the happy bride, and with
beamlng face ste answered in loud,
clear, joyful tone, "Ye>r" "Will you
take this woman for your wife?''
There was no response, and all eyes
were turned upon Kleeman as e
looked around with sneerlng sm'lr.
The Priest repeated the question,
."Wil you take this woman for your
wife?"
Kleeman looked into his face and
answered in a loud tone that rang
through the church, where the stiffness
OF death reigned, "Nol" and roughly
releasing the hand of the bride, he
walked proudly out.

"D-n ill'' said the young Count
BeIssn, as he tore the letter that he had
received from Lena, in fragments,
.sthat girl has placed me In pretty
