and therefore he gave up his Interest. He also as
serted that the plaintiff had assigned his interest.
on cross-examlnation the Senator said that he had
learned of this fact from the complainant
Austen c. Fox for the plaintiff showed the re-
lease in which the plaintiff declared that nothing
contained In II should in any way affect the inter-
est he had in the lands. The Senator averre1 that
he did not consider this clause protecting ;he
plaintiffs interest.
Mr. Rencher was then called to the stand. He IS
feeble and very deaf, and his attorney had TO stand
within the bar and shout the questions to him. The
witness said that he first met the defendant in

Remarkable Discovery Of Mineral.
Patterson Valley, Apr;

Patterson Valley, April /, 1895.
To tho Rocky Ford Enterprise:
Our industrious and progressive COM
munity was thrown into fever Of excite
ment this morning by the report OF the
finding Of valuable mineral lode on the
farm OF George I. Forbes. The discovery
was made by Frank Morrison Of Denver,
and Lee Bird Of Nebraska, who were
here hunting wild geese which are very
plentiful in our corn helds. While
Messrs. Morrison and Bird wsre making
small excavation in which to oouceal
themselves from the incoming hocks OF
geese, they were astonished to come
soross rich lode Of brass ore. It was
pure, native, free brass and the only mine
Of the kind west of the Missouri river.
Samples have been submitted to several
gentlemen who have been very successful
In organising companies and selling min
ing stock, and by them it il pronounced
to be OF the highest grade. =. 7. Hauck
says it Is superior TO any that he has
worked in his blacksnith shop for many
months. Lewis Stumps says he has not
handled its equal at his forge for ten
years. A company is being formed for
working the mine, at the bead Of which
is A. 8. johnson, late Of the Star livery
stable. Parties who wish 10 get in "on
the ground floor" should see Mr.. John
son early. II this mineral dep,sit shall
prove to be generally distributed over the
valley our rich farming lands will have
additional value. Sol DAaAIN.
