AGAIN nave the moss-backed deni-
zens of that antique settlement of
Gold lsave tho mark y Hill stepped on
themselves; one more blunder have
they committed, to their everlasting
cost.
Three weeks ago, Mr.. G.. +. Tenni.,
son, gentleman of culture and re
hnement. who represents an Eastern
syndicate with millions of capital,
went to Gold I y Hill with the inten-
ton of looking about for investmen
First, however, it was his aim, with
the assistance of certain documents In
his possession, and under the guidance
OF that veteran prospector Peter the
Hermit, to locate some of the old
jesuit workings supposed to exist
there. Failing in this, it was his in.
tention to invest i'll one or two prop
critics which he considers are not be.

ceptlnS an occasional sucker, ever is
at Gold Hill.
Behold the stupidity of Gold Hill
ties Because Captain Tennison. who
Is, rs we said before, n gentleman of
culture, refinement and education. did
not stand upon the housetops and de-
clare his business to the open mouthed
multitude. certain persons, ostensibly
respectable business men. but who.

gentleman of culture, refinement, ed
ucatlon, and good breeding-these
swine, because he chose to step light
ly while in their sty, took exception
TO his quiet and gentlemanly way OF
OF conducting himself; and Mt the
darkling hour of two o'clock n. m,
when all decent people should be in
bed, cut-throat horde came and
burst In his door, and, under pain of
death, compelled him to leave their
camp-which he was, no doubt, glad
to do.
Like the gentleman of culture, re.

and unerring judgment that he is,
MAJOR Iennison came to New Kimber-
ley as fast as his legs would bring
him, knowing full well that the peo-
pie OF the city, who knew gentle

him with hospitality and considera.

who behaves himself in anything but
cold Hills popular hoodlum style.
The distinguished visitor is at
present the guest of Judge Williams
ana his charming spouse Mt their
palatlal home On Citrus avenue, and
has spent the past two or three DAYS
looking at some of the Judge S partially
developed bonanZas in this vicinity. !"
The next issue of the Miner and
hanchman presented the following:
Last week the Miner and Ranch

the way, has made some heavy invest.

incidentally, the colonel states, with
out reservation, we may interpolate,
that the Miner and Ranchman is the
best newspaper west of st. Louis and
south of Denver.)
There is another chapter to the
story, and an interesting one. Attn
last hour before going to press, we re-
celved by special courier a message
from Deputy Revenue Collector BogGs
aud Deputy United States Marshals
Newton and Dryer, stating that thew
have arrested the parties who, for two
years past, have operated the illicit
whisky still that has so long been baf-
fling the vigilance of the Government
officials, and will arrive here with
their prisoners before this issue of the
Miner and Ranchman (which has the
news exclusive, as usual, the old.
worm eaten, musty Prospector being,
rs 1T ever was, too stupid to know an
Item OF interest when it sees one) is
cold from the press.
And Will the venerable, moss grown
Prospector believe it? 1t affords ne
uumingled satisfaction to record for
the hlde-bound editor of that spavine I
sheet that first and foremost amono

conviction than he ever was of an hon

have exposed time and again i'm the

at appears that the night before
Colonel Tenhison was assaulted, he ac-
cidentnlly overheard conversation
between two loungers on tho hotel
porch, IN which one OF them said some
thing about revenue officer" On
reelection, the colonel decided that he
was the person referred TO, inasmuch
as several parties had tried uusucccss-
fully TO learn his business aud the re-
suit was that he put two and two to-

IN our Office, told him OF his theory as
