GOLD NUGGET DREAM.
X Kansas Man Has a Vision of Great Wealth Which is
 Verified.

mere Is mine on Sas'Ie C!eek that will be worked to finish, as its owner thinks he is being directed by the all powerful hand that rules the universe. This is the claim located by A. B. Ellitt, of Gofis. kansas, the man who four years ago dreamed a dream of golden nuggets and located the place where they are to be found ID the exact spot cn Castle creek where this claim lies. Strange as it may seem, no man can know Mir. Ellitt and believe he tells anything but what he considers gospel truths.
 In conversation yesterday to the Gazette he said: "I had never seen mine in my life, and had never been further west than Kansas. Four years ago l was taken very sick, and for week l was out Of my head q think l was in trance, during which time my wife and friends despaired of my life. When l grew better told my wife Lew was still alive. as l had been with him all week. Lew is ny brother, whom l had not seen or heard Of for twenty-two years. l had been with him in strange noun tsinous country I had never before seen. He had a mine of base gold ore that would run Sl0O to the ton. The shaft was 50 feet deep. Having never seen a mine before went prospecting in my dreams and discovered claim of rich gold nuggets, fifty yards west and fifty rode south from my brothers shalt"
 MT. Ellitt related bis vision 10 kic neighbors in the Sunflower state, and they thought ne had gone crazy. That fall he and his wife went to Atchison county On a visit among old friends and schoolmstes. One of these old friends had recently received 6 letter from Lew Ellitt of Phoenix, Arizona a prosperous farmer who lives but three miles from the city. This letter in quired about his brother A. B., whom he had not seen for twenty-two years. The Kansas brother wrote, and the next fall he came 10 Arizona to try and regain his health. He needed two men 10 lead hiIn 10 the train, being 65 years Of age, and sick besides. His brother Lew met him at Prescott. In two weeks lie was able to walk, and in month his health was thoroughly regained.
 He was now ready to go and get his golden nuggets. He and his brother went to the mine, where sure enough was the G0-ioot shaft. They took A rope and measured. The exact spo, was reached to within two and half feet of the creek, just as he had dreamed. Two men were set 10 dig ging. The surface showed ro indica- tions of mineral. "Dig three feet" said he, land if you find granite kidney about as thick os my arm and three feet long, you are right"
 They did so, and found the granite kiGdey. Just below this was the open ing Of rich vein oi gold ore. It was bu, ten inches wide, but by sinking twenty feet it thickened considerably.
 1t will require just sixteen feet more," said MT. Ellitt. "to reach 6 large deposit of gold nuggets. and t3- morrow we will start 10 do the work, I sold sll my houses and land in Kan sss except one house and half an acre, where my wife will live. She is left with ample cash, and when hat IS gone I can send her gold," says the ssnguine old Kansas farmer, who in his visions discovered what may yet prove to be & great mine. No amount Of testing or reasoning shakes his faith and he has ample money to go several hundred feet if necessary.
