A Maniac Guarded the Mine

Walter Hyde, an Old prospector VINO
has been looking over the old mining
districts of Nevada, for the past year in
hopes of finding some paying vein OF
ore which has been overlooked. tells a
story of strange adventure which hap
pened to him few weeks ago and
which has resulted in a rich discovery.
1t happened while he was prospecting
in the Black Rock Desert, on the north
ern end of Mud Lake Valley, region
whose desolatencss is such that it is
called the Devils Home" by the pco-
Pile in that vicinity.
The few Indians who live along the
edge of the valley claim that the place
is the abode of devils who will kill any
one that tries to live or work in the
desert.
Hyde says that he has always found
that such stories are generally told by
those who wish TO preserve a place
from interference, and it is such places
that the richest mines are usually
found. He therefore determined to
make thorough search Of the Black
Rock Desert. Providing himself with
his usual outfit and in addition heavy
rifle in case there should be something
there which needed killing, he began
his investigation.
In a little valley, through which
trickled q small stream of pure water,
he sat down to rest, and while lying on
the ground he thought he could discern
an old trail leading up the side of the
creek. Following this he reached an
old shaft, and near by stood a cabin,
which had evidently been occu-
pied very recently. At the mouth OF
the shaft were evidences that some one
had been there short time before, and
in the cabin was pile Of sacks which
served for q bed for the inhabitants OF
the hut. Going to the mouth Of the
shaft he peered in. and as nc did so he
felt nervousness come over him, az ii
some one was watching him from the
cabin. Hastily retracing his steps he
went all around and through the place,
but could see no one. He returned to
the shaft and began hauling up the
rope which was attached to the old
windlass. As he did so he heard noise
behind him and turned just i'll time to
see a large man rushing at him with an
uplifted club.
Quickly lodging the blow aimed at
his head he struck the man with his
rifle and Knocked him down. Before
the weird miner could recover, Hyde
had him bound. An examination proved
that the man was insane. He was
naked with the exception of piece of
gunny sack which he had girded about
his loins. His long matted hair and
beard showed that he had been in his
present condition for years. He could
not or would not talk but struggled
desperately to break his bonds. He
refused food at first, but after Hyde had
cooked piece of venison and held the
tempting bit to his face he greedily de-
voured it. An investigation showed that
the poor miner had evidentlygone insane
over the discovery of rich lode, for the
windlass was over shaft which reach
ed to wonderfully rich vein of gold
bearing quartz. Hyde took the man to
Winnemucca, where he was cared for,
but it is impossible to tell who he is or
where he came from. The mine will
be cared for, and should the poor fellow
recover he will be rich man.

THE New YORK Tribune says the
third party will do the republicans in
the northern States no harm, but that
s.thc fanaticisin Of democratic voters in
the South on financial questions, and
their intense dislike OF Mr.. Cleveland as
candidate, may render this same new
party dangerous TO the democrats in sew
cral southern States" There is no 'ianat-
icisln" on any subject in the South, nor
any .sintense dislike of Mr.. Cleveland"
but there were, and if the "ianati-
cisnn' and dislike" were ten times
as great as the Tribune alleges, the
third party would be by no means dan
gerous TO the democracy in any of the
southern states, for few intelligent and
self-respccting southern men will vote
for Presidential candidate who, as
stated in the Washington correspond
ence of Yesterdays GAZETTE, says OF

FIGHTING ON THE AFGHAN From
Notwithstanding the declared
intention of the Ameer of Afghanistan
to extend clemcncy to the insurgents,
the rebellion in the State of Bakaura
and in other places along the Afghan
frontiers continues. Amin Khan, OF
the IIhukikol tribe, made an attack Il
few days ago on the Afghan rifle out
posts in Khiber Pass. The rebels were
not successful. Its expected, however,
that they will return. Heavy fighting
is imminent in the Hazara country, as
the tribes are better armed than was cx-
pected. The retreat of the forces OF
Gholam Hyder, the Ameer's command
er-in-chief, who mad advanced into the
country Of the independent tribes, re-
mains cut off, and it is impossible for
them to get back into Afehanistan.
Umera Khan, of Jandol, is at the head
of the forces opposing the Afghans.
The position of GhoIam Hyder is criti-
cal and he has applied for assistance
from Jellalabad. In consequence ofthe
troubles on the Afghan frontier 800
British troops, with two guns, have
started for Jamrood, an Indian town a
short distance from the border.
