The Coincident Curse Of Gold.

The goldseekers of both America
and Australia have a singular but
we'll grounded superstition that the
discoverers of hidden treasures are
sure to meet with violent deaths.
The original proprietors of between
35 and 40 of the most prosperous
gold and silver mines in this coun-
try are known to have come to just
such ends. Out of the 40 or less
IL were shot or stabbed to death in
saloon and other broils; five COM
mitted suicide; three were engulfed
by landslides; five turned murder
ers or robbers and were caught and
executed in various ways; one fell
into boiling spring and had the
flesh literally stewed from his bones,
while the others have disappeared
and no one knows what ever be-
came of them. George H. Fryer,
once the millionaire proprietor of
the "Fryer Hill Mine," committed
suicide in Denver after spending
the last nickle between himself and
starvation. The discoverer of the
great Standard Mine (Cal. was
caught and swallowed up in an av-
alanche; Colonel Story was killed
by Indians; VIM. Fairweather of
the famous calder Gulch Mine,"
died with the "frenzied horrors"
after a continuous two years de-
bauch. "Farrell of Meadow Lake"
died with a terrible disease in San
Francisco hospital. The owner of
that great mine, the "Homestake,"
became highwayman and was shot
while robbing a stage coach. John
Homer tried the same route that
Fryer went. "Doughnut Bill"
"Ninemile Clarke" "Old Eureka"
and many others were killed in
saloons. Plumer, known as "Mon-
tana," the discoverer of the richest
mine in the world, and at one time
"Sheriff of the largest county in
the United States," was finally
hanged on his own scaffold.-Ex.

Hunting For Ore.

One wonders sometimes at tn
cratic and apparently senseles'
work disclosed in some prospects
and mines. Drifts are driven il
every direction, some almost de
scribing circle and others proba
bly, almost paralleling the tunnel
leveling back again towards the
surface, with now and then a slight
pit or raise. Inquiry usually elicits
the statement that at the point o1
radiation of all the wild work, "the
foot wall jumped across the pay
crack" It was the work of despe-
ration, and it is not to be wondered
at that the drifts lead around like
the tracks of a bewildered man, who
is in snow storm, circles around
all night, probably within a hun
dred yards of his much sought af-
ter cabin. But lost pay streaks are
often as hard to locate as a dug-out
in blizzard and threatening death
to hope and cherished anticipation
is as terrible as a prospective disso-
luton of body and soul. Under
such circumstances it is we'll to wait
for light but in many instances
want Of money and courage bring
death to the waiting enterprise as
sure as cold and want of strength
bring an end to the wanderipgs of
the lost one before the dawn of day
breaks upon him.
With plenty of work, however,
always to be had, the prospector
need not lose courage and abandon
a temporarily unfavorable project,
if at any time previous it gives ev-
idence of becoming valuable.
Work elsewhere will replenish his
purse and may teach him some
thing regarding the vein system
and formation in which his pros
pect is located, and others near him
may make disclosures that will aid
him in recovering his lost pay
streak, or else prove that his prop
erty is valueless and save him much
useless work. Every foot of ground
opened should be for some definite
purpose, and based upon clear reas-
oning and judgment. There should
be reasonable conviction that the
work will disclose something. If
one cannot arrive at satisfactory
conclusion, go call in more expert
enced miners, surveyor of the dis
trict and others in whom confidence
can be reposed and get their opin-
ion. It is no disgrace not to be
able to see beyond the point of the
pick in many instances, deductions
frequently can only be made from
analogous cases, which may have
come under observation of some
more experienced than yourself

Stump Speaking.

"Once in a while a speaker gets a
wrong impression as to the wishes
of his audience. During the cam
paign of 1880 was addressing q
mass meeting in a grove one even
ing. The chairman had informed
me that after the speech the audi
ence would be addressed by two or
three local speakers, who were then
sitting on the platform, but whose
names he did not mention. After
l had talked for about an hour and
was about to close l made q point
that seemed to meet with marked
approval, for several persons in the
audience cried out, Right, rightr
1t was pleasant to be thus indorsed,
so talked on little while longer,
and when another period was
reached hundred voices shouted
Right, right, right! l said: Yes,
gentlemen, l am surely right, as
you say, and l am glad you agree
with me, but l must not talk all
night, as there are other speakers
to be heard But being so COM
pletely en- rapport with the audi
ence, l felt disposed to crafty their
wishes still further. So l talked on
for about twenty minutes longer,
when there came a still louder
shout OF Right! rightl' I closed
and sat down with a self-satisfied
feeling. Immediately the chairman
stepped forward and said to the
audience The hour is quite late,
but in accordance with your ex-
pressed desire you shall now be ia
vored with a short speech from our
for State Senator, Mr..
Wright
"Then it was that the cold truth
dawned upon me and I realized
that / had been most cruelty SELF /.
deceived as to the temper and
wishes of that audience"

The Third Party.
The sweeping drift of opinion in
Colorado in favor of independent
action in the approaching national
election demonstrates the convic-
ton of the people that there is small
hope of the reconciliation of silver
through the agency of either of the
old parties. The complete ascen-
dency of the money power over
both expressed in the nomination
Of two such pronounced monomet-
allists as Cleveland and Harrison,
abundantly sustains the popular
judgment on that point of vital
concern to this state. The truth is
that the party through which silver
shall be restored to its proper coin
age status must be unhampered by
obligations to the great monopo-
lies which dominate the industries
and transportation facilities of the
country and which have a common
interest with the gold trust in the
debasement of silver and the con-
traction of the currency. To sue
cessfully assert the rights of silver,
given it by the usage of mankind
and by the organic law of the United
States, the combined power of the
now overbearing corporations and
of the money brokers must be re-
sisted and overcome. The force
that can do this must emanate di-
rect from the American people and
the agency through which it shall
be executed must be reasonably
free from the compromising and de-
moralizing influences of machine
politics, through the manipulations
of which the old parties have sacri-
feed their integrity and are found
arrayed against the producers and
miners of the country on question
of the first Importance to the pub
lie welfare.
A deep and widespread convic-
ton of this truth is at the root of
the independent political move
ment which is steadily gathering
force and assuming form almost
spontaneously, for as yet there has
been little time for organization,
while all the advantages Of wealth
as we'll as its attendant corruptions
are with the old parties. The real
significance of this movement is its
absolute necessity as a means of
giving effect to sound popular con-
victons upon finance and economic
questions that are now pressing for
4 solution. The overwhelming sup
port given it in Colorado proves
that its significance is thus inter-
prcted by the great body of our
people. TO them the third party is
to the subversion of sill
7er's enemies and its organization
must be maintained and reinforced
f silver's potential money quality
8 ever to be successfully reestab-
ished.-Denver News.
