THE BRAEFOGLE MINE.
A Man Who Thinks His Location is in
the Same Belt.

There have been stories current for
years about the rich mines in Death
valley. These stories have been revived
of late by the party of federal govern
ment surveyors who are now exploring
that country, and several prospecting
parties have made locations there
A Mr.. George Montgomery, who has
recently returned from the valley, was
few days ago interviewed bya San Fran
cisco reporter, as follows:
Mr.. Montgomery said: 81 left San
Andreas, in Calaveras county of this
state, last September, on prospecting
tour through the Death valley district,
taking with me a complete outfit with a
packtrain and twenty-four animals. l
entered Nevada south of the Carson and
struck off towards Walker lake. After
leaving Hawthorne left the railroad at
Soda springs and moved west until l
struck the Firebug mountains. Here
began prospecting, and took in the
whole country with poor success until l
reached Timber mountains, as they are
known by the people there. Sometimes
they are called the Charleston mount
aims. Here went through strip of
country fifty miles east and west and
$50 miles in length, north and south.
In the northward trip l found little
worth mentioning, and did not meet
with anything to locate until January 8.
Il found some good groupings five
miles west of north end of Charleston
mountains, from which l got some
coarse gold. A nugget was broken from
the quartz at one point, which was
worth from IS to $6. The next day
broke out some more rock and took out
about $40 in coarse gold. l then To-
Gated the mine. For some days after
prospected in the neighborhood and
found some silver ore, assays from
which, made by Falkenau in this city,
ran Ill so ounces to the ton. That was
fair average of the ore as | took it out
at that time, contemplating shipping it
for reduction. The whole camp was
then moved to Grapevine spring, on the
west side of the mountain, and system
attic prospecting was carried on for
some time in the surrounding country.
As result l made several other loca-
tions, one of which was silver and the
rest on gold-bearing veins.
''Before leaving the camp, l directed
OGllcIs W NcluS anu UuVN lOCdbCu Ol tilCul'
From some of them l have since heard
that they opened out well in coarse
gold. The Yount Bros. made one of the
locations, and 1 had letter last week
in which they said they had just taken
out $25 in one shot. have not made
any attempt to boom this district since
my arrival and do not
wish to be held responsible by
men who start out expecting to
find gold hanging on greasewood. / am
satisfied myself in respect to the dis.
trict; have located property to suit
myself and propose to solve the question
of it's value to my own satisfaction. II
is quite true that the camp is still only
prospect and that it will take time and
money to open it up. But at the same
time it is what will be very generally
admitted very good prospect"
In conclusion Mr.. Montgomery re-
marked that it was unintentional on
his part that SO much publicity haC

FOR WIFE BEATING.
ATTORNEY THEODORE s. SHAW AR
RESTED.
His Wife Is the Complaining Witness.
She Alleges that Her Husband Has
Abused Her.

Theodore S. Shaw was arrested at 8
o'clock last evening by Sergeant JEFF
fries on warrant charging him with
wife beating. Shaw is an attorney and
has an office at 1879 North Main street.
The complaining witness is Mary s.
Shaw, the wife of Theodore S. Shaw.
The Shaws live ON Thirty-second, near
Main street. Mrs. Shaw and her mother
in law, Mrs. McLain, assert that Shaw
has been on protracted spree and that
yesterday he wound up by abusing his
wife, striking her in the face with his
fists. There was lively scrimmage
for some little time, but Shaw, SO it is
alleged, drove his wife out of the house
with hatchet. A telephone message
reached the police station, and the off,
Ger detailed to 60 out there found the
house locked, and of course could do
nothing. An hour later Judge Austin
issued the complaint. Sergeant Jeffries
found Shaw in bed with his two-year-old
girl, the mother having taken the baby
with her when she left the house.
Theodore Shaw married his wife, who
is petite brunette. about three years
ago. The couple have not lived happily
together for some time, and yesterday
Mrs. Shaw is sreported to have instituted
divorce proceedings. This act probably
led up to the trouble which has brought
disgrace upon another attorney of this
city. Mrs. McLain, who resides in the
Howard book, is also reported to have
suffered from the blows of her son-in-
law. The affair created some excitement
among the neighbors of the Shaws.

THE Express, in its local columns,
terms an item published in yesterdays
HERALD, relative to the "cribs" on Ala
media street, and the action OF the chief
of police in countenancing them, as
"vindictive" attack. That is nonsense.
Everything published in the HERALD
relative to the chief, has been a state
ment of absolute, established fact, or
else statement based on the assertions
of reliable people. Vindictiveness does
not enter into the HERALD's treatment
of the chief; if it did a great many
stories which reflect on him, but the alb
solute accuracy of which could not be
established, would have been published.
1t is matter of fact, disgraceful fact,
that the chief has never made the slight
est attempt to remove from the edge OF
the sidewalks of one of the most i'm
portant thoroughfares of the city, the
vile creatures who there pursue their
unmentionable calling. 1t is also fact,
that under another administration Mr..
Glass, who was then called detective.
under orders of his chief, was instru-
mental in driving thew inhabitants OF
the "cribs" back where they could not
offend the eyes of decent people. The
HERALDis never slow in pointing out
official incompetency, or venality, and
is only "vindictive" in consistently,
persistently and fearlessly calling the
attention of the community to such
mattars

REFUGE IN JAIL.
A Husband Turns Out His Wife and
Little Ones,


Miguel Alveres, his wife and four chill
dren, ranging in age from l6 months to
13 years, live at 6l2 Mission road.
Early last evening, it appears, Miguel
went home. He had been drinking a
little, his wife states, and was in quar-
relsome mood. He told his wife to get
out with her children, and when she de-
INJURED he told her he would thrash
her if she did not go. 1t was getting
late by this time, but the poor woman
was afraid to stay when ordered to go !;
so she wrapped her little baby up in a
shawl, and with the three other children
hanging on to her skirts she started out,
she knew not where. She trudged
along as far as Sainsevain and Also
streets, when her strength gave out and
she sank exhausted to the ground, where
a policeman found her with her fright
ened brood around her.
The patrol wagon was called for, and
at few minutes after midnight the
poor woman found shelter in cell at
the city Jail for herself and children.

In THE old days the plea was that any
body that sought refuge in the United
States was going away from intermin-
able tyranny at home. We now know
better as to this point. Pretty nearly
every body that now lands at
Castle Garden in New York city is
seeking a mendicant's home, and the
genial gentlemen at New York are quite
willing to be good natured to the point
desired. This thing ought to be
stopped. Neither Alaric nor Attila are
disturbing our people. At the same
time it might be better that both Alaric
and Attila should mount both the Capt.
toline and other hills rather than that
these noble propositions should be neg
lected. If the American people are not
able to maintain their state, why not?

The very elegant dimensions OF David

dent were very we'll exemplifed at a
free trade meeting at the Cooper insti-
tute last night in the city OF New York.
Mr.. Hill said that his views on the
tariff were too we'll known to be eX-
planned at this late hour. OF course,
this was followed by cries for Cleveland
There is one thing about this supposi-
titious candidate for president, yclept
Cleveland, and that is that he is stand
ing around like house on fire, waiting
ior any kind of nomination. The
Democracy can win so easily without
him that it looks like the abuse of a
good lot of raw material, in connection
with the next presidency, to trot Cleve-
land out again.

wished information on the subject from
him always got it without any attempt
at exaggeration. The mines, he claims,
are in the same belt as the old Breyfogle
mine, but he does not flatter himself
that he has been fortunate enough to re-
locate the long lost bonanza.
The other experts who started to in
vestigate the district are now on their
way to the camp, and number of sur
veyors will leave Daggett during the
week. As the men in charge of the ex-
pedition are we'll known and competent
Nevada miners, fully equipped for pro-
longed stay in the camp, the true state
of affairs will be learned before long.

Last Night.

Last night it was discovered that
burglars had entered store in the Po-

ton sales OF Persian rugs and carpets
from Teheran and Constantinople. An
entrance was effected from the rear, and
it was thought that about 500 worth of

in war. All the same, it will present to
the government of the United States the
most interesting proposition of martial
character ever known in our annals,
short of the war of 1872 and the rebel
lion. In other words, it will indicate
that we need and must have armaments.

New Years day comes around once
in so often. In this country the ma
jority of the people have concluded tC
locate it for general purposes on the
first day of January. This is to avoid
collision with the 18th of July, and also
the first day of the new school year
which in Vermont has come TO be very
muck like the movable feast days oi

The Chinese have theirs along towards

would interfere with planting. The

place again. 1t viii probably stay now

to have New Years day of his own,
reckoning from his visible appearance
upon this planet. But under such an
arrangement the difficulty wodld be
that in a well regulated community Of
average size aud intelligence there
woald be from three 20 five New Years

maa mind is not constructed 10 bear
such strain as such state of things
would impose. In other communities,

thought il would be better not to have

out having a beginning for the year.
This would be well enough if it were
not for one little circumstance, if the
year had no beginning it would have
no ending. There was never thine

EDITORIAL NOTES.


Vermont is under great obligations
to the Argus and Patriot for the good
work it has rendered the State in the
last issue, by the article on its sum
mer attractions entitled "Through YER
mont by Rail-" II gives concise,
well written and beautifully illustrated
statement of the many advantages Ver-
mont offers those seeking a place to
spend the summer months, and is the
best thing we have yet seen on sub
ject that is Of the greatest Importance
to the State. New Hampshire annu-
ally receives an income Of about &c.
900, 900 from its summer visitors, and
this State but small sum, yet the at
fractions Vermont can offer are equal
if not superior to those OF her sister
state. The only difference is, the at
fractions of one are advertised by the
State and by private individuals and in
the other not at all. If every newspa-
per in Vermont would copy this article
and later write up the beauties and at
fractions of their respective localities
and let the world know what a beauti-
fnl state Vermont really is, we should
see thousands of dollars coming into
the State where one comes now.

LATEsT.--Gov. Page and Supt. Palmer
met at Montpelier recently to consider the

there was found to be such diversity Of
opinion that the question was formally
submitted to the Judges OF the Supreme
Court by the Governor. II they de-
eide against the law an extra session Of the
Legislature will he Immediately called. II
will thus be seen that the question is con-
sidered to be very serious one-whether
districts not holding "A weeks of school
between July l, 1890 and March 20, 1891,
