PLENTY OF GOLD.

In conversation with Major Simmons,
of the Keystone mine, that gentleman
stated that The report of wonderfully
rich prospect found in the vicinity of
the Keystone was entirely true. The
ground is about 400 feet west of the
Keystone mill and was formerly located
by Blair and Franklin, but had been al
lowed to go back on account of not doing
assessment work. The discovery of the
prospect was purely accidental. About
a week ago William Franklin and his
daughter were seated on the ground in
conversation during which Mr.. Frank
lin was carelessly driving his pick in the
ground. His daughter picked up piece
of rock, and Immediately discovered
that it contained free gold in consider
able quantities. The report of the rich
ness of the rock could hardly be credit
ed, and all day long men were pounding
up the rock thereby satisfying them
selves on the subject. Charles Upman
brought over 500 Of gold that was
pounded out by hand by different par
ties during the past few day, which be
brought down with him to the city yes
terday. Work of developing this pros
pect will be at once commenced in order
to find the ledge which cannot fail of
being exceedingly rich. The Keystone
mill is again at work after a wait of two
weeks on account of the late CAVERN and
barring accidents will be kept running
continuously all summer, there being
plenty of ore at hand to run for months
to come.-Journal.

Mining Itema.

Messrs Haserodt and Harbach are still
engaged in the development of their
promising gold lode on the Penobscot
belt west Of this place. known as the
Globe. They have been sinking for
some time and are now down over fifty
feet. The ore has shown gradual i'm
provement in quality from the surface,
and the vein has increased from a width
Of Is inches to over FIVE feet. The pros
poets are exceptionally favorable for
this mine, which may even now be
safely considered a profitable mining
proposition.
Another extensive cave occurred in
the upper workings of the Keystone
mine last week which extended 10 the
surface. This cave however did not in
terfere With the working of the mine as
the chamber where the cave occurred
was abandoned last year. The Gill Aoor
on the lower level is now bulkheaded
and is perfectly safe, and the work of
taking out ore goes steadily on. All the
drifts are now carefully timbered as the
work goes on.-MineT.
KNGLEHAEDT BRoNISE PROCESS.
This new method of treating ores is
evidently pronounced success. Such
is the opinion of many prominent min
ing men Of Colorado who have had an
opportunity Of being present at the tests
made in Ghe experimental plant at
present located in Denver. DR.. NJ
Rogers returned from there yesterday,
and informs the Times that from the
results obtained in the numerous tests
made the process is capable Of treating
nearly all classes or characters of ore.

Especially those found in Lawrence
county, are at present being investigated
as to their character and value. The
gentleman doing the work is thoroughly
competent and is well pleased with the
result so far obtained. He proposes to
soon establish works which will be
operated under new process by which
the cost Of treatment will reach from
$3.50 to $500 per ton. The method is
very simple one and but small amount
Of machinery is required as is evidenced
by the fact that mill of 25 tons daily
capacity can be put up for 5000. All
characters of ores can be treated by the
method, all metals contained in them
being separated. The gold is recovered
by amalgs nation. Sulphite ores give
up their mineral under the process Just
as readily as the oxidized and free mill
ing varieties. Another class of ores
which are abundant in the Black Hills
are the decomposed porphyries and
quartzites carrying fine -four gold in
paving quantities which it has been
found impossible to save by the methods
in vogue owing to the fact that the metal
is coated with sulphur or some other
foreign substance. Under this new
process all such costings are removed
and the gold left clean and bright. In
this condition it readily amalgsmates
and from 80 to 95 per cent of the assay
value recovered. Many Of our Black
Hills ores contain gold, silver and per
centage of lead, ranging in value from
$40 to SIS per ton. This combination Of
minerals is such that it defies any treat
msnt except smelling, the cost Of which
exceeds the value contained in the ore.
The discoverer of the new method
claims that il will treat such ores with
profitable results. In the near future
the Times will be able to publish full
description of the process. 1t can now
state, however. that it has no connection
with stamp mills, chlorination. smelling
or cyanide methods as now operated

Smooth Politicians Rolled.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 20.-At late hour last night Governor Renfrow be- came aware that Walker, Republican, and Oberland, Populist, mem bers of territorial apportionment board, had conspired to defeat the apportionment of the territory into legislative districts by staying away from yesterdays ses- sion and preventing the report being made by the required time. midnight last night. This was according to a preconcerted scheme of the Republican leaders to prevent session of the legis- lature this winter, and Oberlander had been induced to join them. Governor Renfrow at once revoked Oberlander's commission and appointed Senator Pulliam, leading Popullst, and he and Pall, the Democratic member, by hard work completed the districting and made their report at 12 o'clock.

A Big Wheat Dea, Engineered by
 Some Rich Californian.

SAN FRANcIsCo, Sept. 20.-Somebody stands to lose $1 ,000, GOO on wheat, and San Francisco graiu men are wondering who the victim is. For months L. E. Mclaughlin bought wheat for some un- known spectators until he had &C., cumuleted between 175, GOO and 20o,000 tons of wheat, for which he paid an average of $1.20 per ceDtal. At present prices he cannot realize within 25 cents of as much as he paid per cental.
 It IS said hy grain dealers here that ex-Senator James G. Fair is the only man on the coast who has enough ready money to back Mclaughlin in such deal
 It is calculated that there are at pres ent 500, ,O0O or COCO tons of wheat in the state that 8 market must be found for. All this wheat must be shipped out of the country and ship owners are holding back for high rates.

 CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 20.-A Times Star special from mble, Tenn, says Yesterday Jim Harber and others were sitting in front of grocery store. Bob Fellow focused a sun glass on Harber's uncovered head. The concentrated rays did not reach Harber's scalp but suddenly his head was mass of flames caused by the ignition of bay rum on his hair, he having just come from a barber shop.
 When his head caught fire he started to run, but Frank Gordon caught and held him while others extinguished the blaze with their hats and handker- chiefs. He would doubtless have killed the joker on the spot had he not been restrained by friends. Today he brought suit against Fellow for $l5, 900.
 Physicians say Harber's head will never be adorned with hair. Fellow is quite we'll to do.

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Neither the Chinese nor Japanese legation received any advices as to the great naval en- gagement off Yalu. Lieut.. Mycaka, naval attache of the Japanese legation, returned today from an eastern trip. He is we'll acquainted with the scene of the battle and says 1t is so far removed from Japanese telegraph stations that word would first have to be carried by dispatch boats to Tushima or Nagasaki before the Tokio authorities could be informed of the battle.
 As the fight occurred last Saturday. it is expected that the dispatch boats will have the official version transmit ted very soon. Japanese officials here are much elated over the latest reports, as they say the sinking of China's big battle ship, Chen Yuen. fatally cripples China's navy.
 The Chinese minister declines to dis cuss the recent battles or any phase of the war. Ia response to an inquiry today he sent word that no advice had been received and that he was very busy. He is building large ballroom in the rear of the legation, with the pros- pect of extensive social festivities in the near future.
 There is apparently no disposition to share in the panic at Pekin over the Chinese reverses on land and sea.

 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 20.-Jamea P. Wright, an old railroad brakeman, had long talk with Engineer Prescott of the Santa Fe, which was stopped by train robbers near Garin, Mo-, couple of nights ago.
 ''He told me-" said Wright, that the battle between the supposed train robbers and the detectives was very queer and that he would never have been wounded If the detectives had met the men who stepped on the engine with we'll directed shot."
 Prescott said it was very strange that the detectives did not kill some of the would-be train robbers. He said he pointed out man after he was shot who was standing so close to the engine he could have knocked him down with lump of coal if his arms had not been rendered useless by the wound; and shouted to the detectives: "Why don't you shoot that fellow ?'' Then he said the detectives fired several shots at the man, but he noticed the gln barrels were sll pointed away above 6 level with the mans head.

Tie fact that the Quinn ranch lies near the Osborne ranch gave rise to suspicion that the disease was tu- berculosis, communicated from the Osborne herd of Jerseys.
 Several of the farmers have called upon Dr. Norton, the territorial veteri- nary surgeon, who having already in- vestigated the case, was prepared ta allay their fears. As iD the case of the cattle on Eager's ranch seven nises west of the city, the disease, if it may be called g disease, was due to impure and insufficient water. Arrangements were made for pure water in abundant quantity and since then there has been no trouble in the herd. Scientific tests also showed that the disease was not tuberculosis.

Past National Treasurer Short
 in Her Accounts.
Mrs. Anna E. Grubb the Culprit- Many Bitterly Want to Push

By the Associated Press.
 PITrsBuRG, Pa., Sept. 20.-By an of- ficial announcement today Mrs. Anna E. Grubb, of Camden, \. J., past na. tional treasurer of the ladies of the G. A. R., is charged with misappro- priating the funds of that organiza- ton.
 This statement in the ladies' meeting today created sensation unequaled in the history of the order since it's begin ming. The proceedings of the conven- tion were secret, but one of the ladies, who is in high standing, makes the statement that Mrs. Grubb has de- faulted to the amount of $500, and suit ~has been brought against her bonds- men to recover.
 Mrs. Grubb, she says, was reelected to the office several times, and had the confidence of the ladies to such an ex- tent that the auditors. ir going over her books, considered it necessary only to make clrsory examination. How long the shortage has existed is not stated, but at the Washington encamp- ment the books were thought to be cor rect and she was rszasked.
 
 At Indianapolis, where a new treas urer was elected. Mrs. Grubb failed to turn over some of the books and in- vestigation then discovered the dis crepancy. When Mrs. Carrie V. Sheriff, who was president in 1892, learned of th1s fact, she, together with Attorney John M. Vanderslice of Philadelphia, conferred with Mrs. Grubb in Camden and suit was filed through Voorhees Bros., attorneys of Camden. This was six months ago, and the case will come to trial next month. It appears that nothing of this was known to the mem. bers of the order until today.
 In the very warm discussion which l followed the announcement Mrs. Mar. garet A. Stevens, of Camden, a mem. Der of the council or administration and Mrs. Laura McNler, who was the first national president, made urgent appeals in behalf of Mrs. Grubb, and suggested that the ladies donate enough to make up the deficiency, hoping to keep the scandal from becoming public. Others, however, bitterly denounced the ex-treasurer, and insisted that the law take it's course. The majority voted in favor of prosecution, and the end is not yet. The excuse made by Mrs. Grubb and her friends is that when she used the money it was to help her husband out of financial straits, and she could not return it when called | I1rl
