Made a Rich Strike.

RAPID CRY, 8. D., Feb. 22.- Reliable
word has reached this city of an inn
msnse strike in the Keystone mine,
twenty-five miles from here, on Battle
creek. The whole body explored is
rich, while an inch vein, well defined,
runs $e1 900 to the ton. II is thought
by many that the Keystone, now de-
velopod. for 200 feet, with cross cuts,
will excel the Homsstake and rival the
greatest mines In the world.

M QUEST OF GOLD.
Search to Ne Made for Lest Mine I'm
the Great Colorado Desert.

beArch 70 BE Made Tor Lest Mine tm
the Great Colorado Desert.
BAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S2.--On next
Sunday Thomas l.. Doran and three
companions, all experienced in desert
travel, will start from here 10 hunt for
the lost Pegleg mine, which has been
one OF the mysteries of the Colordo
desert for thirty years. Doran will pack
. train Of burros at San Diego with pro-
visions for six months, and he will thor
oughly explore the desert country where
at least dozen OF his predecessors in
the search have left their bones. The
lost mine lies somewhere i'm the Colo
rado desert, near Warmers ranch, about
= hundred miles from Los Angeles. Il
was discovered in 1880 by an old trap
per named Pegleg Smith, who found .
gold nugget on three little hills but did
not know IL was gold until he reached
Los Angeles. When gold was discov-.
cred by Marshall, Pegleg Smith de-
terminsd to hunt for this desert mine,
but was driven OF by Indians.
About 1856 miner was brought into
San Befnardino almost dead from priva-
tions IN the desert. He recovered and
showed rich specimens which he had
found IN the three hills not far from
Warmers ranch, and which, from the
descriptions, were identified a. the Peg
leg mine He had $1,000 in nuggets
and dust and gave the doctor who cured
him $1,000. He arranged to lead =
party to the mine, but suddenly sick
ened and died, and his secret perished
with him. An Indian vaquero, who
lived at Wamer's ranch, eften rode out
into the desert and returned with gold
dust, which he blew i'm ON sprces in
Los Angeles, but was 80 cunning no one
could track him. Within the last ten
years no less than FIVE parties have
started to search for the Pegleg mine.
In each case disaster and death have
followed. Tom Cover, a rich orange
grower OF Riverside, lies dead ON the
desert, victim to his desire to find this
mine. Whether he succambed to thirst
or was murdered by old enemies il not
known.
Doran has already spent one yeas in
the desert searching for the Pegleg
mine, Without success, but he attributes
his failure to lack of system. He said:
"It is an almost unknown region. The
country Is barren and rough, and it ia
hotter In some places than hades. The
hest literally dries up all the moisture
in . persons body, and few days have
generally driven tho explorer back into
civilization. Every foot Of the way is
winding biek rocks, and under each rock
Is y rat3iesn&ke So dexti1 iurks every
where in the earth and air Of the Color
ado desert. am positive the mine is
somewhere in the Northeastern part of
the desert and we will systematically
search the whole place until we find
those golden hills"
Doran has the map said to have been
made by Pegleg Smith before he died,
giving as nearly as he could the location
of the mine. With this map and his
previous experience he hopes to get a
fortune such as came to Alexander
Montgomery, of San Francisco, by his
recent discovery of the lost mine in the
Mojave desert.

COLUMBUS, Kan, Feb. 2e.-At IL D.
m. lightning struck the glazing mill of
the Latin Rand powder works, situated
about four aud half miles north of
this city, exploding 40 kegs of powder,
which were undergoing the process Of
glazing, scarcely leaving enough of the
material of the building to mark the
site. The storm was 50 severe that the
explosion Of such great quantity of
powder was not distinguishable ut this
place from the numerous heavy peals of
thunder. The powder mills of the com
pany ut this place are the next to the
largest in the United States. The works
include large number of buildings,
but none except the glazing works were
injured.

Fear He Is Frozen.

WINNIPEG, Man, Feb. 90. The ex-
traordinary disappearance of Matthew
Riley, master machinist OF the Canadian
Pacific railway work shops, creates
anxiety here. For some time he had
been suffering from influenza. Three
days ago he arose from his bed, took
some money out of the drawer and told
his mother he was going to see q doctor.
Since then there has been no trace Of
him, although police and relatives
searched diligently. Some fear foul
play, but the most plausible theory is
that while in q delirious state he
wandered off on the prairie and has been
frozen.

Iolhis from the Proceedings and Icgisla-
tion Proposed.
LoNDoN, Feb. 10.-Contrary to general
expectations the attendance at the open
ing of parliament yesterday was unusually
large. Everybody had predicted that there
would be a scanty showing of members of
the commons, but by actual count there
were over SEQ present, which is said, to
break the record for the first day of ses-
sion. The lobbies and galleries presented
scene of much animation, and the al
most universal tenor of the expression of
opinion on the subject was that dis
solution of parliament was not far off
Both houses assembled in the house of
lords to hear the queens speech Just be
fore the assembly of parliament the Irish
factions met separately and held short
meetings.
Points from the Queens Speech.
The principal features of the session as
laid down by the queens speech will be
bill applying to Ireland the local gov
eminent system already adopted in Eng
land: also some additional provisions for
the English system; also measure to IN
crease the number of holders OF small
farms in England: also a bill to extend as
| sisted education in Ireland, and some mi
nor measures for England and Scotland
The speech opens with an expression of
gratitude for the many evidences of sOr-
row from all parts of the empire at the
death of Prince Albert Victor.
Harcourt Attacks Salisbury.
Harcourt criticised the measures pro-
posed and denounced Salisbury's speech at
Exeter, Feb. ,, crediting to his lordship the
assertion that the Roman Catholic priest
hood in Ireland had always been on the
side of England's enemies Balfour
warmly defended Lord Salisbury against
what he classed as the distortions and
Misrepresentation of the Liberal press,
claiming that the words Lord Salisbury
really said and the words attributed TO
him were widely different.
An Ancient Ceremony.
AT abont II O'Clock in the morning a de-
tachment of "Beefcaters" arrived from
the tower of London. Headed by SER
geant they made a search of the vault of
Westminster hall, custom that has pre-
vailed AT the opening of every session
since the discovery of the Guy Fawkes
plot to destroy the houses of parliament

They Take OTense at Our Emigration
Commissioners Report.
LONDON, Feb 10.-The Standard and
The Globe contain articles denouncing the
report made by the American Emigration
commissioners, in which, among other
things, 1t is said that convicts are system
atically sent from Great Britain to the
United States, and that there has been
for eleven years thoroughly organized
movement here encouraged and patr on
lied by the government of Great Britain
for the purpose of of sending convicts and
eX-convicts to the United States The
Standard says it is doubtful whether a
more untruthful statement was ever made
in official report. The report, The
Standard adds, is another instance of the
absolute inability of many citizens of the
United States to exercise in affairs con-
nected with Great Britain either imparti-
ality or common sense.
''Scandslous and Prejudiced Remarks
The Leeds Mercury, referring to the
subject, says that the commission came TO
establish a precOnceived grievance, and
that there is little to justify the scandal

quet, given at the Broadway theatre last
night, proved to be an attraction that filed
the galleries with throngs of people. The
proceedings had a convention air about
them, as 1t was understood that Governor
Boles, OF Iowa, the principal speaker of
the evening, would sound his first slogan
tor the coming campaign. When the
march was begun into the banquet hall,
which presented the picture of bower
OF plants and roses, the applause and
cheers shook the building State Senator
Alexander b. Mckinley, of Colorado, and
Governor Boies, of Iowa, were in the
lead
Notable Men Who Were Present.
Before the governor was permitted to
take his seat at the head of the centre

Duty of the Democracy.
Governor Boics began with a brief re-
view of the work of building up great
community in this far western country,
and then proceeded to the topic of his dis
course, which was the tariff almost eX-
clusively. He said that in broad sense
the Democratic party must continue to
stand the champion of the personal
rights of the individual" and applied this
principle to the obligation of the party to
promote tariff reform by saying that each
individual has the right to he as fairly and
justly treated by the country's laws as is
every other member of the same.
