/ Among tho many strange
specimens sent to us from time
to time. is fine piece Of semi.
opal, showing metallic gold,
which is reported to- have been
extracted from a gold mine in
Idaho, 800 feet below the sur
face. In the same vein charcoal
is said to have been found, and
the question is asked whether
such thing was ever found be-

number of apparently water worn
boulders. They we're about 300
feet from the surface, aud have
been pointed to as proof of the
existence of pre-existing figure.
In the old Nj Wot property on
the Columbia vein, at ward, Colo
RADIO, we have seen geodes of
quartz, looking exactly like granite
boulders. The cavity crystals
were quartz, except in one case
where they appeared to be fuor-
spar. Tie peculiarly about them
WAS their boulder-like form.
Another rather unusual thing
about this property was the dis
covery of large body of pretty
pure limestone, IN the vein at
depth of about 400 feet. The vein
is contact between porphyry
dyke and granite, and there is no
sedlmentary limestone within a
dozen miles of the place. Nor is
the gangue noticeable for contain

DOWN TO THEIR DEATH.

Hungry prospectors caused the
loss of 36l head OF fine cattle
and the deaths Of two cowboys,
near Bannock Butte, Idaho. The
prospoctors, who are now under
arrest, attempted 10 capture STRAY
calf, which ran into the herd. The
prospectors tried to cut out the
calf. A stampede resulted. The
cattle ran toward the brink of
cliff. Two cowboys, Jerome Was
son and Daniel Hancock, sue
ceeded in getting in front of the
herd and attempted TO bring the
animals TO a standstill. Their
horrified companions saw them
swept off the cliff as the maddened

and fell seventy nine feet. The
bodies OF the two cowboys were
found dreadfully mangled.

THE TWENTY-MILLION-DOL
LAR TRAIN.

From New York Press.
The undertaking of the railway
postal service to transport safely
$50, 100000 in gold from the Sub
Treasury in San Franciso to the
Sub-Treasury IN New York has
been successfully accom- plished,
the vast treasure now being locked
up in the massive vaults in Wall
street.
The shipment was the largest of
the kind ever attempted for any
thing like the distance involved
and the precautions taken for its
safe transport were Of an extraor-
dinary character, making robbery
practically out of the question.
The treasure cars themselves were
of steel and supposed to he bomb
proof. Half n hundred and more
trusty guards were aboard the
train, esch armed to the teeth, and
arrangements had been made
whereby the authorities of the
postal service were informed by
telegraph of the location of the
train every quarter or half hour
of the total time consumed in the
journey.
1t devolved upon the Post
Office Department to furnish safe
transport for the gold, and its
custody WAS entrusted to some of
the most faithful employees at
Washington. The train was in
charge of Capt. James E. White,
of the railway service, with 81
The train consisted of five cars,
one prlvete car directly behind

and three express cars. In each
ear was an officer of the railway

zach of whom carried Colt

BRICK AND HIS TUNNEL.

Brick Pomeroy is understood to
have transferred the control of the
Atlantic and Pacific tunnel to Bos-
ton men, who have begun vigor-
GUS campaign among tho New
Englanders, with reported goot
success. Agents are said to be
canvassing New England towns
for the sale of stock, about as ped
dlers canvass. We haven't yei
seen the advertisements of the new
company, nor the "write up" of the
scheme in the Boston Herald
which Tom kerwln was sent out
to do, so we don't know whether
the representations made are as
untrue as those made by Brick or
not. Few schemes were ever
offered to the public with a strong
er support of untruths. For a
long while 1t was worked purely as
a mining project, and when that
begun to grow stale it was assisted
by host of lies about its being
railway tunnel, and that all the
companies would want to use it rs
the only possible means of getting
into a rich and virgin empire west
of the mountains. Every word of
the kind was false. Every prac-
ticable route into the country
spoken of is already claimed by
railway companies, and partially
graded, or completed and in opera
ton. The truth about this tunnel
is that its cost is enormous, and
while 1t may open good mines,
there is no probability of 1t ever
paying an interest on the invest
ment. As a business enterprise it
can be compared to the erection
of million dollar house as
retail fruit and peanut stand. The
universal opinion in Colorado is
that it was started by Brick Pom
eroy as a stock dealing and swind-
Ing scheme, and has been conduct
I'd as such from Its birth. Every
other thing which Brick touched |

THE CARIZO MOUNTAINS
WORTHLESS.
Albuquerque Democrat.

Albuquerque Democrat.
The Democrat has received
through the courtesy OF Hon. An
tonia Joseph,a copy of the letter of
July 2 addressed to the secretary
of the interior by r. V. Belt, act
ing commissioner of Indian affairs,
showing the work of the commits
sion appointed to examine the
part of the Navajo reservation COW
cred by the Carlo mountains, and
the conclusion it had reached as to
the advlsability of negotiating with
the Nayajos for Its purchase. The
letter is very long one and The
Democrat has only space for a
brief summary of it. The Carlo
mountains, lying in'this territory,
were supposed to be very rich in
precious minerals, and it was for
this reason that their purchase was
desired. The commission to ex-
anime the mountains, accompanied
by geoIogists and trained prospee-
tors, assembled at Fort Wingate
on May 10th, last, and on May 10Th
commenced the work of prospect
ing the mountains to determine
their mineral value. The work
was thoroughly done, and the fol-
lowing letter shows the result:
"The commissioners report that
the geological conditions were
found to be extremely unfavorable
for she probable occurrence of ores
of she precious metals; that sand
stone forms the mass of mountains
which aro traversed here and there
by dikes of eruptive rock of vary
ing character; that in the vicinity
of these dlkes the sandstone has
been changed and altered, showing
some small bodies of specular and
allied ores of iron, which, however,
carry no appreclable values of the
precious metals; that small amounts
of copper and iron pyrites were
found, but not in workable bodies,
or in veins that could be traced
that no lead ores were found; that
it does not seem probable that any
true fssure veins exist IN the
referred to; that they |
the opinion of each indl-
yidual member ofithe party who had
examined the Carlo mountain
region. and that geologists, scient-
lists and prospectors alike concur
red in the conclusion that there
were no surface appearances of
valuable mineral deposits and that
the region was barren of metallic
wealth and worthless for mining
purposes"
In order to verify their eonclus-
ions the commissioners had the
specimen rocks secured in the Car
izo mountains assayed in Los
and the result in all cases
showed either no precious metals
,r at best but traces thereof, prov I
ng that the ores from this section

A NEW DANGER IN THE
SOUTH VEST.
FROM the FL Paso Bullion

From the FL paso Bullion
Years ago when the writer first
entered New Mexico, before the
Santa Fe Railway had penetrated
through the Ration Mountains, and
when III Paso was little village
called Franklin, it was the boast
of old timers that hydrophobia
was unknown III the south west,
save when the frontiers man was
exposed to the bite of tho skunk.
In fact the latter animal was more
dreaded 10y the knowing ones than
the Apaches, for the latter could be
avoided by taking precautions and
by being prudent, but the solitary
camper was ever exposed to the
deadly bite of the hydrophobia

of recent years new danger has
been added to life upon the
plains from the attack of the
bolder coyote or wild dog of the
plains. Under normal circum-
stances the coyote is a cowardly
animal. The writer has seen
hundred or more formed in circle
around his campfire without mis-
givings; in fact in those days
coyote attracted no more attention
than jack rabbit does now But
due to some fact unknown to the
writer, of late years coyotes have
been frequently known in the south
west to attack travellers in broad
day light or to sneak upon them
when wrapped up in their blankets
at night resting unsuspicious of |
danger Eve deaths occurred last
year in New Mexico from this
cause, one of them near Albuquer-

Dorison without question did as he
was bid. Reaching headquarters he de-
livered his letter, and a moment later
was leading the way to his cab, followed
by the man hastily summoned, and was
soon driving back as rapidly.
Entering the hotel, Cathcart met
them.
HE is still here,r he said to Dorison.
"Stay where you are. will rejoin you
in a moment"
To the shadow he said:
II will, in a moment, point out man

business, his associations, his habits, in
fact all you can learn about him. Re-

He went directly to the art gallery and
pointed out the man sitting at table
near the door, which the young man was
watching, without being observed by ths
object of their attention.
THAT is your man." said Cathcart.

what places he haunts."
Cathcart returned to Dorison, who
was awaiting his return with Impotence.
"What has occurred?' he asked anx-

What further might have passed be-

out of the hotel.
The shadow was behind him.
''Good night" said Cathcart, as he,
too, moved off.
Dorison had already learned not to
question him, and so he did not seek to
detain the old man.
He, too, went out in the night air to
cool his burning excitement.
