very suddenly Of heart disease Mt his
cabin about two miles above Center
Vile last winter. He was living alone
and no other person was present at the
time Of his death. His brother David
COugbnn0ur, who IL suporinto ndont Of
the Gold Hill Mining company, at
Quartzburg, was sure that Daniel had
n few hundred dollars In gold
coin In his possession short
time before, and, as none Of this was
found upon his person nor about his
cabin and no one knew OF his having
disposed Of II In any. way, II was
thought he had buried II some place
about the cabin, which method 10 very
often brought into service by some
miners, temporarily. for the safe keep
ing OF valuables In their possession.
In order TO lind this money, David
Coughanour, few days ago, got n
head Of water on the ground where
the cabin stood, burned the cabin
down, and proceeded TO sluice away
the ground. The irst thing he found
OF any Importance was bottle OF
mercury, and Friday forenoon nj

marked by two little stakes, q baking
powder can was uneartbod which was
found 10 contain twenty-six shining
double eagles. Mr. Coughanour says
he will use the money TO put monu-
ment over his brothers grave.

ing. James Ivers 4 Co. have the con.
tract anu are hauling with SIKH orse
teams and trail wagons. The King
has much ore ahead and will begin

during the present week.
There Is trouble at the reservoirs
again. The recent warm weather has
started the snow to melt In good shape
and the flume constructed by the
reservoirs to carry oil the water COM
ilg from the Anchor mine Is not large
enough to receive the Increased
volume OF water. The result IL that
Wednesday last the creek forced It's
way into the upper reservoir and in "A
few hours all three were bank full, and
but for the discovery and PROMPT
attention OF Marshal bennett Ia
shutting the creek out tho chances are
that the reservoirs would have given
way under the strain and carried
death and destruction down Empire
canyon. OF course tho water com
pany and Its employees knew nothing
Of the trouble and danger until alter
the damage had been repaired. Thus
the causes OF complaint are pilipp IN
against the water company aud aching
as an incentive to the city council, and
1t Is q 10 be hoped that the evil will
result Ia new water supply and the
laying OF strong iron mains for its dis.
lribution.
