Tie lilr0ad 'SpDtter."

"The work of the railrold spotter, or
detective, as he wishes to be Gale |, is a
despicable one, though the system is as
near perfection as human agencies usually
acquire" said T. B. Moore, Il Detroit
drummer, at the Llndell. "About the
only man in the railroad service who is
able to spot the spotter with any certainty
is the naughty aud overpaid train porter.
If a spotter travels all night OF a car
without his identity beng discovered he
must sleep with his shoes and his baggage
under his pillow, for when the berths are
made and the spotter retires the porter
is going to search his belongings and dis
close his business. If the search proves
the correctness of the poTter's suspicious,
then Mr.. Spotter is fixed So that his
identity is revealed to the next crew as
plainly aud as easily as though he wore
a tag on the lapel of his coat telling VINO
he is. The porter who makes the DIS
covery cuts three little notches in the
heels Of the spoilers shoes, aud the tell
tale notches give the detective away to
the succeeding potter. Then, Of course,
the whole crew is 'on to the spotter, and
ii he escapes violence on the train it is
because the traiumen don't want trouble,
and not that they don't know they are
being Swallowed as thieves or pickpock-
cts. The salary of the spotter is a big
one, aud few men in any legitimate rail
ROAD employment are paid as well as he.
Recruits for this service are drav n from
the large detective agencies, like Piuker-
tons and they are directly responsible to
their own SIperintendents, All not t.
the railroad companies for whom ths7
do their nefarious business. The spotter
business is oae Of the most lucrative Of
the Pinkerton service st. Louis Globe

of it is. the ''deii shes" is touched of

The Silver Strike at Creedc.

A story of millions made in a day, a
story that takes the pioneers back to the
days of 40 and the famous Comstoc1 aud
White Pine strikes in Nevada, crops up
to-day here in this city, where no mining
excitement of note has been witnessed
in the last decade. H. R. Henderson, of
Henderson & johnson, mining operators
of Creole, COL, is in the city and stay
ing at the California Hotel, where be
told the story yesterday of his success
full search for the vein which has made
the new camp so famous.
"The canyon in which Creedc is To-
Gated" he said, ''runs north and south,
with a gulch running to the eastward
below the railroad depot. In no place
is it more than seventy-tive feet wide,
and the sides are precipltous, so that no
trail scales them. My notice was at
tracted by the rich strikes in the Anne
thyst, Last Chance and Holy Moses
claims about the first of the year, and
Will johnson, of Milwaukee, and | i'm
mediately started for the scene, Mr..
Creole already had a mine on the slope
of Mammoth Mountain. where he was
breaking up fallen powders and getting
rich out of them, and my partner aud |
determined to go above his claim aud
find the original VEN. We started out
about 10 o'clock in the morning of Jan
uary 22l. There was ten feet of snow
on the ground, and | tell you it was cold.
We climbed up the almost inaccessible
cliff and dug through the snow. 1t was
hard work, but it paid. At 5 o'clock
we had struck the vein. and its richness
is almost beyond belief. Why, if you
poured molten silver from a ladle it
would look no richer. We determined
to get the assessment work finished at
once, and in four days we hal goae
twelve feet into the vein. The full
width is fifteel feet, as we founl later.
A million-dollar syndicate has been
formed to run a tunnel from the canyon
wall 5000 feet into the mountain, cut.
ting all III claims, of wlich we have
ten. The railroad runs Immediately be-
low the m )uth of this tunnel, aa1 the
present cost of putting the ore Oh the
cars is only five cents II ton. 1t is o1ly
a week since L left Creole, aud that
seventy. five foot canyon is buster to day
than any San Francisco street, though
so many prospectors are out in the
mountains that it seems deserted, com
paratively speaking The population is
nov about 5000 or 10000, or [ should
say it was last week, for crowds of peo-
pie are pouring in there each day."
Mrs. Henderson adaed that certainly
if anyone deserved success her husband
had, for at first he had to do all the
work himself, and his %tireless climbing
over the cliffs had earned for him among
the miners the sobriquet of the "'Mount-
ain She3p."-Sa1 Francisco Chronicle.
