Gold Find in Colorado.


Sensational reports coming from Flor.
risant, Colorado, state that the Ute pass
country is greatly excited over another
gold find. The location of the present
mining excitement is at the foot Of
Mount Pisgah, and about fifteen miles
northeast of the locality which, some
fourteen years ago, was the scene of o
wild rush Of prospectors from all parts.
All old prospectors will remember the
"Pisgah boom" which lasted but short
time. 1t is now demonstrated beyond a
doubt that the furore was occasioned by
Aoat from the present find. All the
gold SO far found is gulch gold, and the
gravel in which it is found is gulch
gravel. Aside from the fact that it's
altitude would argue that it is not float,
both the gold and the gravel prove this.
The nuggets are sharp, lumby and rusty.
The gravel is fiat and edged. Certi6-
Gates run as high as $500 per ton. The
ore of the camp is not yet determined.
The richest so far is lead carbonate
some galena is found; some horn silver
bearing rock. Gold bearing quartz i.
also found. A great deal of decayet
spar assaying $50 at the surface is found
also iron carbonate, blue quartz
abundance Of tale and other sorts.

is attracting considerable attention.
There are four applicants in the field now
and may be Others. Governor Colcord
has been officially notified of the vacancy
and has before him for consideration the
names of Il. F. Prudential, A. s.
Thompson, James Nesbitt and John
Simpson, equally divided as to politics.
but politics should cut no figure in the
selection; the best man for the place is
what is wanted, as the position of county
Commissioner is much more important
one than is generally supposed.

The New Smeltefs.

The retaiaing walls and abutements at
the main grade of the new smelters are
finished and the tramway embankment
for the delivery of ore is about complet-
ed. The boiler and smokestack from
No. 5 works are also on the ground and
carpenters are busy preparing the frame
work for the main building.
There is now some talk of extending
the tramway from the point west of town
to the Day mine. If this is done haul
ing by team will be necessary from the
Mendah and Half Moon mines only, and
from wood and coal camps adjacent to
the line.

Took The Wrong Nan

Early last Saturday morning Bob
Francis and his brother brought in from
Eagle Valley, under arrest, a man sup.
posed to be Hicks, the man then want.
ed in connection with the Griffith killing.
He bore strouy resemblance to Hicks
and was seen prowling about the hills
near the valley. When questioned he
answered vaguely but said he was hunt
ing a horse. They placed him under
arrest and on reaching town learned he
was from here and that his name was
John Butter. He was turned loose and
the boys apologized and offered to take
him back and help him hunt his horse
besides. Butter has since shaved up
and doesn't resemble Hicks now.

press, investigating the circumstances
attending the murder of E. 0. Griffith.
the coal burner, on the 9th inst, met
again on Friday, having before them as
witness W. r. Fontain, one of the
parties who was present at the time
Griffith received his injuries. Fontain,
however, pleaded ignorance Of the whole
affair and that he was drunk. His test.
mony amounted to but little. The YER

Thomas Hicks, the dead man s partner,
who was then wanted. was still at large,
and Sheriff Turner and Deputy Charles
Carrot went after him on Friday morn
ing. On Saturday about noon, Hicks,
accompanied by one of his friends, came
to town and gave himself up. He ap-
pears to have been in the hills around
Tom Hitson's camp from Wednesday
night and knew the officers were after
him. He was suffering from delerium
tremens, from his prolonged spree on the
keg of alcohol he had taken with him,
and imagined a hundred men to be about
him watching his every movement. He
left his gun on the hill and approached
Louie Verdini's camp early Saturday
morning asking for water and offering to
surrender. '''i.'
Hicks was charged with murder and
like complaint was filed against Fon-
tain. The latter was brought in again
from the coal camp, and on Monday the
preliminary examination of Hicks was
begun in the Justices court, and though
the evidence submitted was not con-
elusive of defendants guilt, Judge
Thorne yesterday held him to appear be-
fore the next grand jury, and without
bonds. Hicks offered no explanation
whatever of his actions or the circum.
stances against him.
FontaiD's examination on the same
charge began yesterday. The States
testimony introduced was similar to that
in the Hicks case, and at its conclusion
Fontain also was bound over without
bonds to await the action OF a grand
jury. Neither Hicks nor Fontain offered
to testify in his own behalf or to offel
any thing that would throw light on tn,
affair. ....' .s... sg' ...-..

Fire Politics.

Nix. EnIToR Next to national politics
nothing 50 much claims the interest and
attention OF the public as the approach
ing election OF officers to serve the Homo
lulu Fire Department Tor the next two
years. An institution unrivalled in the
peoples estimation, it has earned the
gratitude, good will and substantial sup
port OF everyone, except croakers, "
and those are never satisfed-unlesst they
are miserable; and, generally, they are
folks with nothing to lose by ire, water
or anything else.
The ticket OF Company No. is before
us, and we believe a wise, jldicious
choice has been made of capable, good
men, with excellent records, acquired
not only in the department but in the
various walks of life they have chosen.
Mr.. Robert More. Foreman oil Engine
Company No. ] has held that position
tor no less than eight years, seven oil
which years he was elected by acclama-
ton, and when sometimes his position is
glibly styled honorary, let US think OF
the foresight, energy, self-denial, and
make up the qualities and nerve neces-
cary 10 such a responsible post. think
ere are none but those specified 10
deny that Robert More has "won his
spurs" and is IN the line OF fair, legiti-
mate, honorable promotion. SIS super
intendent OF the Union Iron Works, and
by reason of his mechanical industry
and special knowledge, he is qualified i'll
every sense for the Office he has been
nominated for, namely, that OF Chief
Engineer of the Department.
Mr.. J. w. Mcdonald, the nominated
candidate for first acknowledgements,
was an active member OF the late Pacific
Hose Co. for years, being foreman for
about Two years, building it up-as he
did-by hard earnest work, from zero TO
a membership OF about one hundred
and ten, when it was disbanded for
reasons not necessary to enter into. MIR.
Mcdonald joined Engine Co. No. 2 about
q year ago, and it was a splendid recog-
milton of his merits and abilities as fire.
man when, on the evening of his cleo
ton, he was also duly elected as assist
ant foreman OF the same COM
pany. Like Mr. More, Mr.. Mcdonald is,
by reason of his occupation, specially
adapted for the work he aspires to.
Next we have Mr.. VIM. Keawe, the
candidate for the position of second as
sistant-engineer. who has been an active
member of Engine Co. No. 4 for years
and now occupies the position OF assist
ant foreman of his company. a certain
modesty, natural to himself, has always
appeared to be sin his way" when
elected to the higher Office of foreman;
still can say without hesitancy that
this plain unassuming man has made
record for himself which the Department
may well be proud Of and emphasize by
his election to the position he has been
duly nominated to.
There are other Richmonds in the
field and no doubt more TO hear from,
of them more anon; still we believe the
above ticket is one which well deserves
the title of cosmopolitan and the gener-
ous support of firemen. 4 FIREMAN.

PIaviue ou the Pibroch.

Mr.. ED1ToR-SIR: Although it is
q subject interesting to Scotsmen
only, l would ask space to make a
few remarks in regard to the Bulle-
tins report about the Thistle Clubs
discussion on the use of the word
"pibroch." According to the Bulle-
tins report it would seem as if the
members of the club were evenly
divided on the question, or, if any
thing, that the majority present
we're in favor of the Bulletin writer's
use of the word. Such, however,
was not the case, for, with the ex-
ception of one member, who stated
that he had been told by San Fran
cisco piper that the word ''pibroch"
was Gaelic for the bagpipe, all the
members who spoke were unanim
ously against the Bulletins use of
the word.
The Bulletin writer says it is the
common usage to speak of playing
on the pibroch." Would he kindly
give an example taken from a Scot
fish book or newspaper where such
an expression is used. Piper Mac
donald is made to say that pibroch,
or piobaireachd, is a Gaelic word for
the bagpipe, and also that there is
no such thing as march in bagpipe
music. On consulting Mac Eachinn's
Gaelic dictionary the following
words are found referring to the
bagpipe, viz: Piob, a pipe; piob-
mohr, the bagpipe, the large war
bagpipe; piob-mhalaidh (mala, a
bag) bagpipes; phipir, piobaire, a
piper; piobirachd, piobaireachd, a
tune on the pipes. In Jamieson's
(Lowland) Scottish dictionary the
bagpipe is simply mentioned as 1.-The
pipes" Robertson, in his ''Histori-
cal Proofs on the Highlanders,"
speaks of the different kinds of bag
pipe tunes, such as laments, ''porsts,"
"falltes," or salutes. ETC., and winds
up by stating that "there are many
other -piobaireachd' or pipe tunes"
At all the principal Highland
games held in Scotland it is the in
variable practice to divide bagpipe
playing into two classes, viz: l. Pi-
brochs, and 2. Marches, Reels and
Strathspeys. A recent Scottish
newspaper, dated September 5, gives
an account of two Highland games,
viz: The Braemar and the Aboyne
gatherings. At the former the Queen
and members of the Royal Family
are usually present and some of the
crack pipers in Scotland compete for
prizes.
The prize list of the Braemar
gathering gives the following
amongst other items:
