A RICH FIND.
The Mollie Gibson Mine, in Colorado, a
Real Bonanza.

The Mollfe Gibson Mine, in Colorado, a
Real Bonanza.
ASPEN, COL, Feb. 5.-The Mollie Glib.
son mine has probably made the richest
strike of any on record in this state.
The discovery of rich ore was made more
than two months ago. Everything has
been kept very quiet, and the owners
nave had secret motive in concealing
the facts. 1t is only within the past few
days that the strike has assumed man.
moth proportions. Tons of ore have
been hoisted in the last three days, and
conservative estimate places the value
at $4,000. This is The lowest figure.
Inc ore is OF two classes. An assay OF
the old fashioned pink spar, carload
OF which Gillespie shipped to Dem
yer by express two or three
years ago, ran 1900 ounces. There is a
stlll higher grade, specimens of which
are more than half pure silver. An as
say OF this class to-day returned $500
ounces. Taking these figures as basis
Tor calculation the ten tons would be
worth about$75, 900. This ore comes from
the fourth level north, which mine is
also shipping about ten tons of ore a day
that runs 100 ounces. The Park Regent
also has new strike. one of the biggest
ever made on Smnggler mountain. A
new ore chute has been uncovered in the
north end of the property. 1t was cut
almost Simultaneously in three levels.
There is 5-foot body, running hun
dreds Of ounces. The overs are highly
elated, and consider the strike the most
important OF any made in this mine
which has produced more than 81 600.
900.

LONDON. Feb. THE prince of WalcsI
will shortly appear as a witness in al
court of law. During the St. Ledger
race week the prince stayed at Arth,lr|
Wilson'S house, at Doncastcr. DurinsI
the stay the prince seems to have playcdl
at baccarat with wealthy military bar

ing the baronet referred to was accused
OF cheating. He fatty denied the
charges. The prince of Wales, dreadlny
unpleasant notoriety and the disagrcea-
bic comments of the radical press, inter
posed and a settlement was made.
One of the stipulations was
that the accused baronet should give a
written undertaking not to play cards for
money in the future. On the other hand
the baronet's accusers agreed not to men
ton the unfortunate dispute. But j,
seems the accused baronet found the
charges were soon publicly discussed
and commented upon in aristocratic
London clubs. The baronct has served
the members of the committee who
watched his actions while playing with
writs in an action for libel. The baronc,
has retained Mr.. Gill, and the committee
Sir Charles Russell. In the meanwhile
the military baronct's fellow officers
have, in the kindest manner possible.
advised him to retire from the service
pending the result Of the trial. This he
has done.

AT HAZELTOn.
The Tedious Work Begun of Clearing
the Mine of Water.

Inc N10G OF water.
HAMILTON. Pa Feb. THE pump
ing is still going Oh i'm tho mine. but with
little advancement. The water on the
pitch uts ,hc slope has raised 300 yards,
which is a higher point than any of the
breasts reached. The large inside mine
pump. which was stationed at the bot
tom of the slope to keep the lower level
free from water. is covered with water
and is useless. I've smaller mine pumps
have been placed side by side in the
gangway of the first level, and the work
of removing the vast body of water was
commenced.
1t is now believed that while Charles
Boyle and Patrick Coll were drilling a
hole in the face of their breast. they UNI
cXpectcdly broke into the old abandoned
workings of No. shaft. and that the
water instantly tore away the interview
ing rock and rushed in upon them.
Some of the miners and officials are in
clined to doubt the correctness of this
theory, however. as upon examining the
old workings from the shaft it was found
that the water was disturbed but very
little, if at ALL Another theory ad-
vanced is that the water is from Carriers
old mines. better known as the Colerain
These mines have been abandoned for
many wears, and We're filled with
water and the lines between the works
run very close together. Until it is
learned where the water is from it is i'm
possible to tell how soon it can be re-
moved. as they cannot ascertain the
amount of water that will yet run into
these works as it is being pumped out of
the slope.
Lief. Womclsdorf. the mining engineer
from Pottsville, who did the surveying
for the firm, arrived at Jeanesyille yes
terday. He descended into the mine and
made an investigation for tho firm, but
declined to give any information for the
public or any idea as to when the bodies
of the men could be rescued. Sentiment
in the town OF Jeanesvillc, sas we'll
as in the region, is somewhat
divided. Conservative miners are will
ing to await full investigation before
passing censurc on the firm of j. c.
Hayden & Co., whose mines have been
very carefully operated. and accidents
have been very rare, and danger re-
duccd as low as it is possible in mining
coal. Others there are who see nothing
in it but carclessneSs, or still more GRIM
inal negligence. These are outspoken
in their assertions that the mining en-
gineer has not visited the mines as fro
quentlY as the occasion demanded, rely
ing upon assistants who were young and
and who did not under
stand the work or realize the RESPONSE

EVA is HOPEFUL YET.
n1rs Mann still! Believes Robert Ray
Hamilton Alive.


Hamilton Alive.
New YORK. Feb. 5.-NIrs. Eva Mann,
as Surrogate Ransom has decided her to
be. does not believe that Robert Ray
Hamilton is dead, nor does she for Il
moment believe that her charms have
lost their power over him.
'sIf he and ! were to meet now. > she
said. ssthere would be no question as to
our relations. He loves nc still and
love him."
Eva has said that she never married
Ray Hamilton for his money, nor from
any of the motives that have been
attributed to her. She married him, She
says, simply and solely because She
loved him. And she also AYERS that he
married her for the same reason. LAW
yer Charles w. Fuller, who has been act
ing as counsel for Mrs. Mann, said to-
day that he believed his client still had
the greatest regard for Robert Ray Ham
ilton and his family.
Since she has become notorious Mrs.
Mann has received scores of curious let
tiers. Some of them are from theatrical
managers, who hold out to her the al
Turing temptation of the fortune that
can be made if she will consent to appear
in any kind of play, but she does not
care to make a fortune in that way. Mu-
scum managers have also sent her let
lers by the score, assuring her u fabu-
lous salary if she will but consent to APP
pear in their establishments. Mrs. Mann
has not taken the trouble to reply to any
OF the communications.

Troublesi-Hho VIII Lead:
CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 1.-An import
ant conference of democratic leaders in
Ohio was held at Cleveland at which
Gov. Campbell was present. There were
a number of politicians on hand from
different sections of the state to discuss
the prospects for the fall campaign and
consider the advisabilty OF Campbell an
nouncing himself as candidate for re-
election. All those present were
the friends of the governor, and it was,
OF course. almost the unanimous demand
that he should make the race again this
year despite the bitter opposition to him
in Cincinnati. The rural democracy
think that they can overcome the disaf-
fcction against the governor, on account
OF his course in regard to the alleged
corrupt boards in Cincinnati, by Repub-
lican recruits. Gov. Campbell, when
questioned in regard to the matter, said
that he would be a candidate for re-
election if it was the desire of his party.
He believes that Major Mckinley will
be his republican opponent, and that
was the general sentiment of the confer
ence. The ward workers in Cincinnati
and Columbus will bitterly oppose the
denomination of Gov. Campbell. and the
party is likely to have bad fight on it's
hands in the nominating convention
