A Colorado silver Mine That IL Richness
ITSELF.

A Colorado Silver Mine That 10 Richness
ITSELF.
ASPEN, Colo, Feb. 2s.-The develop
ments made in the now famous Mollie
Gibson mine during the past few days
have made 1t the greatest bonanza in
this or any other Colorado district. The
problem that has so long puzzled the
company has been solved, and they now
know that the rich ore which was found
in the first level, more. than two years
ago, lies in regular chute. The
ore was found in the fourth level
few weeks ago, but it was not a
pocket, as it seemed to have been
above, but the recent discoveries
remove all doubt and establish the char
acter of the deposit. and the consequent
enormous value of the mine. 1t has now
been proven that the chute runs through
both the third and fourth levels and Is
practically inexhaustible.
The chute was found In the third level
to be identical in character and size to
the extension as opened In the fourth.
There is one streak, IA inches thick. that
assays $4,000 ounces per ton, while the
whole mass, from to 10 feet between
walls, runs up above 1000 ounces. 1t Is
IS feet wide on the level, as 1T is below,
and it is apparent that it Is continuous
from one level to the other, to say moth
ing of its extensions above and below.
The thickness varies, and in some
places the figure is 10 feet, but there
is probably an average of feet that
will go 1000 ounces or over. This would
make over 1000 tons of ore worth all the
way from $3.50 to $500 per ton, to say
nothing of quantities of material of lower
grade. The estimate of parties inter
ested is that there is 100000 between
the third and fourth levels. These fig
ures are almost beyond belief, but they
are very close to the facts, while the
$500, 900 estimate comes from the best
authority. The value of the ore can be
understood when it is stated that ship
ments of five and ten ton lots have run
over 1000 ounces per ton. The man
agement mas been careful not to let the
grade run too high, as the price OF treat
ment advances rapidly when the big
| figures are reached. In running the 40
| foot upraise from the fourth level $685.
900 was extracted. The company Is not
shipping much Of the ore, all being held
| in reserve, excepting such as is taken
| out In the course of development.

A Block OF Vermont Soil That Got a Move
on ITSELF
BARRE, VT, Feb. 2S.-A huge land
slide occurred here this morning on the
land occupied by the Goddard seminary.
The rush and roar of thousands of tons
of stones, trees and earth as 1t swept
down upon the apparently doomed SEM
mary and the dwellings clustered about
1t was simply appalling. Many dwelling
houses were badly damaged. The resi-
dence of William Mcdonald was moved
bodily distance of eleven feet from its
foundation as easily as ship glides
from the ways at launching. The cellar
was instantly filled with the rushing
debris. The tenement house of Martin
Riley also suffered severely, the
lower story being almost entirely
wrecked. 1t is impossible to estimate
the wreck at present, but it will be very
heavy. Fortunately, no lives were lost,
as the landslide occurred at such an
early hour that the inhabitants were
safety ensconced in their beds. The
scene is thronged with sight-seers to-day
from miles around Many who live at a
distance of ten miles, and even more,
state that they heard noise as of dis
tant thunder, and distinctly felt the
trembling of the earth and heard the
rafting of dishes on the closet shelves.
Until the report reached them of the
facts In the case they felt sure that an
earthquake had visited them. Steps have
already been taken to repair the damage

The Plans Maturing for Exhibiting Sitting
Bulls Cabin.

BISMARCK, Feb. 2s.-Parties are at
Standing Rock negotiating for the trans
fer Of Sitting Bulls cabin to the worlds
fair. His two widows will do the selling,
and although they are glad to get rid OF
IT they want good price. The Indians
intend to move the cabin mile away
from It's present site, as they believe that
the locality is haunted by Sitting Bull
and his followers who fell with him in
the conflict with the Indian police last
December. One Bull, a ne gphew OF the
dead chieftain, related an interesting in
cident that happened just q day before
Sitting Bull was killed. He said that
Sitting Bull that day climbed to the top
of one OF the highest neighboring buttes,
where he fell asleep and dreamed OF the
startling tragedy that would happen the
next day. He came down and told his
people that their great medicine man
would be killed on the morrow How
true his words were was atteSted by the
developments the next morning. Much
more true than this postmortem tale. be-
yond doubt.

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 2s.-A special
grand jury in Covington, KY, has re-
ported an Indictment for arson against
w. Winchester, recently proprietor of
chemical works in that city. Mr.. Win
chester, when his establishment caught
fire, hastily drove out the few girls en-
ployed by him, locked the doors, and
begged the fremen to flee for their lives,
as dreadful explosion would soon fol-
low. The fremen treated him as lu-
matte, forced their way in and soon put
out the fire. 1t was then discovered that
he had piled up his boxes of chemicals in
such way as to give the impression of
an immense stock, while In fact there
was but single tier of boxes that were
filled. He had insurance for 1000.
The insurance adjusters appraised the
stock at about 5000. Mr.. Winchester
fled as soon as the fire was extinguished

ScoTTDALE, Pa, Feb. 2s.-Between
1900 and 5000 foreign and American
strikers held another mass meeting on
the outskirts of Vanderbilt, adjoining
Rainey's works. The object of the meet
ing was to force the reluctant employees
of Rainey to strike, either by fair or des-
perate means. They must have succeeded
as hardly o man of the 500 to 600 en-
ployes of Rainey's two plants is now at
work. The strikers, according to pre-
vious arrangements, marched to the
meeting in two directions. One group
came by the way of the Fort Hill works,
where they raided and routed the few
men who were at work. About the
same time bowling aggregation sof
strikers, estimated at 1880 or 1900, de-
acended on the PAUL plant, where few
men were at work. These were COM
PEELED to beat q hasty retreat. A num-
Der of the PAUL works drivers, who were
carrying rifles, were seized by the strik-
ers and forced to surrender. Sheriff Nc
Cormick, of Uniontown, has been notified
of the danger of an outbreak and he and
a force of able assistants are reported as
being en- route to the scene.
