The first mine to give any great prominence to Silver District was the Red Cloud. The discovery and development of this mine constitute an apt illustration and exponent ot the element of chance which forms so large a part of the mining his tory of the west. Messrs. Ham mond, Rohwer and Burnham ar rived in Yuma, from California, dead broke, except for a fine shot gun owned by Hammond. The gun was pawned to a merchant for a grub stake, and the party at once set out for Silver District on a pros pecting trip. Two weeks after wards the Red Cloud was discovered, and located with Hammond hay ing a half interest and the other two a quarterinterest each. Neither of the men were miners. The discovery was we'll advertised through the columns of the SENTINEL, and, within two mon ths negotiations were under way for a purchase of the property for con- sideration of$10O,OOO. During the pendency of the negotiation, it was discovered by Rohwer and Burnham that the location had been enormously made, as to points of the compass, and they relocated the mine calling it the Silent, forcing Hammond to be satisfied with a third interest. Shortly afterwards the sale was made to eastern parties, who sent an ex-keeper of a hat store in New York as Superintendent of the working of the mine. Of course he knew nothing of the business and a very fine propvrty, that should have paid from the sur face, was mismanaged to death, as related in the last article.
 
 The mine is developed to a depth of 800 feet, and when silver reaches any decent price it will become a very valuable property.
 The Black Rock and Pacific have also a peculiar history.
 They were discovered and located by Neils Johnson, a miner who was largely possessed of the id iosyncrasy peculiar to his kind, of going on a drunk whenever he struck town. On one of these per- iodical sprees he was boasting to Tom Hughes, who kept saloon in Yuma, of the value of his mines, Hughes being also drunk, when the latter, who had never seen the mines, asked hIm what he would take for them. "Three hundred dollars" was the reply. The money was paid, and the drunk kept until late in the night. The next morning when sober Hughes started out to get his money back, but Johnson had spent the most of it, and Hughes had to content him self with a deed to the property. He visited the mines and then gave an exhibition of nerve that is rarely witnessed. Although there was no development except @ shaft about forty feet deep, he at once placed a valuation upon the property of $I5O,OO0 and refused to listen to any offer of less, His talk and enthusiasm carried the local news papers by storm, and for awhile there was no better advertised property on the coast.
 The result was that he got his $15O,O0O and Boston parties be- came the owners. Hughes took his family to Los Angeles, bought his wife a homestead, gave her $40,O00 in money, took trip os- tensibly to visit New York, and has never been heard of since. The

Missouri Railroad.
AURORA, Mo-, Feb. 28.-'Frisoo train
No. /, west bound, Conductor Wightman
and Engineer Stephenson, was held up
two and half miles east of this city last
night. The men boarded the train at Mar
tinsville, getting on the blind baggage.
When about half the distance between
that place and Aurora they crawled over
the tender, and covering Engineer Steph-
enson and his fireman with revolvers COM
mandcd them to stop the train. They
were then marched back to the express
car, one of the robbers telling them that
II they did not break open the express cor
door both Of them would be shot.
The door was soon opened, and the rob-
bers made search for the express messen-
ger, but did not succeed in finding him,
as he had made his escape through the
door in the rear Of the car locking 1t after
him. After making thorough search of
the car, and not finding anything, and not
having anything with which to open the
safe, the bandits escorted the engineer
and fireman back to the engine and disap-
peared in the darkness, firing several shota
as they departed, and which were an
swered by the conductor and brakeman.
There Is great excitement here and a
posse Ii being organized to search. for the
outlaws. The crew upon the train is the

ings Destroyed.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Feb. 23.-Six per-
sons are known to have persisted In a fire
which started in this city at o'clock in tho
morning. Four large blocks of buildings
were soon laid in ruins, and it Is feared
the number Of dead will be much greater,
rs many people who lived in tho destroyed
buildings are missing.
People who roomed In the doomed struc
ture were caught almost without warning,
and nearly all who escaped did so In their
night clothes, being unable to save any Of
their effects.
Tho dead are: Mrs. Clara Summons,
boarding house keeper, Hot Springs; d. W.
Wing. Glenn's Falls, N. Y; Mrs. Maggie
Hiscock, boarding house keeper, and three
others, names unknown.
The fire originated in o bakery on Ouch
ita avenue, over which were furnished
rooms. Here Mrs. Sammons, who kept
the rooms, was burned. The fire was at
the south end of the gulch in which Hot
Springs is located, and the wind was from
the north. AS a result none of the large
hotels were at any time in danger. The
fire burned both sides of Ouchita avenue
to Hawthorne, one side of Hawthorne to
Woodbine, and both sides Of Orange to
Quapaw street.
