GHOST IN A NINE.
It Il Said to Be Especially Trouble
some to Prospectorn


Haunted houses are common: haunted
men have been reported occasionally,
and in the highest flights of romance the
haunted mine figures. But of all the
'haunts'' testified to by reliable wit
nesses, says the New York Advertiser,
that of the ''lost mine" in the Santiago
mountains. near Las Cruces, n. NJ.
holds its place most persistently. Rail-
roads and modern science have no effect
on it; the most slseptical white ma
terialists realize the presence just as
powerfully as the Indians did fifty
years ago.
The ghost is that Of an old Navajo
Indian, who knew the location of the
mine and was killed by the first white
prospectors for refusing to reveal it.
His name was Jacopo, or is rather, for
he is still on deck, and the latest view
of him was by Henry Williams and
George Goggans, two men from Mil
waukee, who recently made q fishing
and hunting tour, in the Madre de Dios,
a small stream flowing through the
Santiago valley.
Two nights in succession both
dreamed of seeing strengthening
Indian. The third night they watched
and saw him in the spirit or flesh. Next
night he came again in their dreams
and warned them not to seek the lost
mine. They had never heard of it be-
fore, and of course wanted to find it at
once. They started into the mountains.
but soon Mr.. Goggans fell and sprained
his ankle badly, whereupen the old
Indian issued from the rocks, laughed
in derision and vanished like puff of
smoke" They had to ride back to Las
Cruces for surgical aid, and decided not
to hunt for the lost mine any more.
Col. Jenkins and Fred Lathrop, Of
Las Cruces, have also seen the Indian,
and the former gives this account:
II was accompanied by a young man
named Houston, Wat Houston, from
Tennessee, who had no fear of ghosts.

Houston and were riding down a
gorge half way up the range, when all
at once saw an Indian standing about
twenty feet ahead of us. He was
drawn up to his full height and was in
full war dress, eagle feathers, paint,
etc, and was eying US from under his
bent brows as if trying to make us out.
MY horse caught sight of him at
about the same time and began to rear
and plunge in such a manner as to pre-
clude all progress on my part; but
Houston rode on, though his animal re-
sented it also. l watched the young
man approach the stately figure in the
road, and then all at once saw Houston
shoot out of the saddle over the horses

fectly motionless, while the figure of
the Indian vanished, even as looked
at it. then rode forward and, dismount-

EDWARD Fox
New York, March 26.-The latest de-
velopment in the Drayton-Borrows
trouble is that the publication of the let
ters on the duel issue came about
through Mr.. Edward Eox, and that lis
fellow second, Harry Vane Milbank,
may call him out for his breach OF faith.
Mr.. MIlbank has called to the Due de
Morny for a copy of the letter he sent to
the Duke containing the hypothetical
question on which was based the opinion
that Mr.. Borrowe need not fight.
Neither he nor Mr.. Drayton's friends,
however, would talk about the mysteri-
iOus letter OF Mr.. Drayton which, it is
said, has not been published, and which,
it is alleged, is scorching arrangement
of Borrowe.
Both principals are still in the city and
both disclaim any idea of going away for
the present. There is little fear that
there will be any encounter between
them here. 1t is only a question of time,
according to both parties, when a fuller
statement of the whole affair will have
to be made public.

1t is Said That it Cost Dir. Drayton 81 900
to Leave the Majestic
PTTTsBURa, March 26.-George Stevens,
Of this city, who was a passenger on the
Majestic during her last trip, made some
interesting statements relative to the
Drayton- Borrowe affair, aud vouches for
the accuracy Of them
He says that he knew of the incidents
Of the imbroglio before his departure,
and consequently watched the principals
very closely during the voyage. That
while the men faced each other at table
they never exchanged a word, both dis
playing nervousness in each others COM
pany.
Drayton's anxiety to reach New York
prompted him to frequently question the
captain as to how long the passage would
take, and when the health tug ran along
side the steamer, Stevens, who accidently
was in position where he could not be
observed and yet overhear the converse
ton which ensued, heard Drayton beg
the men in the tug to consent to his
going on board their vessel.
When informed that he could come
aboard If the captain consented, he
turned to the latter and requested the
permission. 1t was denied. After some
words the captain said, as though to set
tie the matter, that it would cost Dray-
ton 81, 900 II he landed by means of the
tug. Drayton replied; money is no
object to me-" stepped down the ladder
and boarded the tug, prepared to pay
the fine to make the irregular landing.
Mr.. Stevens says that the episode,
coupled with the conduct Of the gentle
men during the trip. lead him to con-
oluds that there is much more in the at
fair than has reached the knowledge of
the public.
