GOLD THIEVES.

Solon McClosky and fremont
McClosky, arrested at Cripple
Creek, Col, on the charge OF steal
ing ore from the Union Gold
Mining company, we're taken to
Colorado Sprlngs and released
after furnishing $1,000 bail each.
The complaint alleges that sys-
tematic stealing was carried on for
about one year, and will aggregate
sum of between $4,000 and
100000. The McCIoskey broth
ars bad a lease on the main work
ings Of the Pixies Peak lode, which
they secured from the Union Com
pany. Some time ago the royalty
on ore from the lease dropped to a
very low figure. The company
began AN investigation which ended
in the arrest OF the brothers.
1t is claimed that their method
was to chip of gold bearing rock
from the quartz they mined and
subject 1t to a process Of their own
in order to get the gold out of it.
The ore they had subjected to this
test was then, il is charged, mixed
With common rock on the dump
and shipped to the smelters. Con-
the smelter rs.srns were
not one half what they would have
been had not the greater part of
the gold been Clipped out of the
quartz, the retorts thus secured
being kept by the miners, who did
not have to share the profits,

MASSACRE BY GOLD Hun
TIERS.

Vancouver, b. O., March l8.-By
mail via steamer Miowera, comes
an astonishing story from the dis.
tant gold fields of Western Aus
tralia, hardly creditable had it not
been borne ont by the arrest Of the
ringleaders IN the terrible tragedy.
Fabulous finds have lately been
reported from Ninety Mile Point
nuggets between 30 and 100 ounces
of pure gold being picked up ON
the surface of the ground. These
stories made men mad with lust
for gain, and prospectors in race
for wealth pushed on for hundreds
of miles in the wilderness, far be-
yond where white men had ever
been. They had scarcely enough
food and water to keep them
alive. They we're brought back
raging with fever and placed in
the Coolgardie hospital, already
overcrowded with dying miners.
The fate of these desperate men
did not deter eight new arrivals
from forming syndicate, and.
with heavy packs OF provisions.
water and rifles, they started for
Ninety Mile Point, the extreme
limit of Coolgardle, to'prSepect in
the interior. They started Dec1
OF last year, and, as nothing had
been heard OF them since, it was
supposed they had met death.
Dan Roberts, one of the syndi-
cate, returned from his camp, 100
miles from Coolgardie, Jan. 81,
and confessed to the police that.
after discovering n mountain OF
gold quatz, the party returning to
camp found that a band Of blacks
had stolen all Of their provisions.
The syndicate pursued the blacks
to their village and butchered the
entire encampment, shooting the
men and grolning the women and
children. The other murderers
have been arrested.
The solid hill Of quartz which
the syndicate found is 10 feet high,
250 feet wide at the base and six
teen at tho summit, full of gold.
The rush is setting in to the ecene
Of the find.

JUSTICE FOR MINERS.

Some years ago one Blackburn
appeared at the Prescott land
office, says the Courier of that
place, aud applied for a patent on
50 acres OF land which he had pre-
empted and, after due process, the
patent was granted, not before a
ledge was located on the land,
however. The land was next
transferred to @. C. Clay. In the
meantime, this ledge known as the
Silver King mine, had been de-
veloped and was being worked
with all modern appli ,nces, con-
sistng of quartz mill, etc. The
mine w,s very rich. the ore milling

But in addition to the wealth
brought out of Egypt, where, il
should be recalled, the gold mines
were prolific at that period, the
natloN had also in Solomon's time
the profits of their commercial
operations begun In the reign Of
David. And as the Hebrews were
originally an agricultural neopls,
and were now settled upon soil
flowing with milk and honey"
they must have produced much
corn, wine and oil for the pur-
poses OF commerce with their
natural allies, The Phoenicians'
who had little or no productive
territory, and whose cities were
on the adjoining seashore and
filled with teeming maritime,
manufacturing and commercial
populations.
In their offensive wars the He'
brews seem net to have attacked
these natural allies, from inter.
course with whom they doubtless
obtained some gold and the great
quantities of silver in Jerusalem
in Solomon's time; for we know
tbot the Phoenician colonies in
northern Africa, in the islands of
the Mediterranean, and especially
in Spain were then returning a
great deal Of silver and also some
gold. As Solopon's people were

Phoenician co!onists and the
backward condition Of
Greece of that period, which last

AMERICAS NICKLE MINES.

The United States has Only one
nickle mine, which has paid pro-
fit, 'and it has now closed down
owiog to Its inability TO compe;e
in cost of production with the Can :
adian mines. 1t ia located in
Pennsylvania, near Lancaster 1t
embraces several lodes. They were
operated rs early as l744, when
they were mined for copper. Ira
ditlon says that they were known
and operated as early as l718. For
eighty or ninety years after l744,
they were operated at times by
different companies aud we've
finally abandoned because the ex-
pense of mining was more than
was realized from the metal OBJ
tanned. After remaining idle for
forty years or so, in 1849 the Gap
Mining Company was organized
and mining operations were re-
sumed. Nothing was known at
that time about nickie being con
tanned ia the mines. They were
operated for copper alone, and 1T
was not until 1882 that Captain
Charles Doble, the present super
intendent, discovered that there
was nickle in the mines. For
years the mlners had been finding
and throwing aside as worthless
ore which they mistook for a sui
phuret Of iron and had debbed

GOLD FROM COAL.

Mr.. Ludwig Llppert writes to
South Africa" that analysis has
been made of 13 different coal
samples which were taken from the
chief Witwatersrand coal basin
Each sample consisted of bag OF
200 pounds OF coal, which we're
burnt separately, aud the ashes OF
each of these bags was carefully
analyzed by competent and reli-
able chemist. They realized from
mere traces OF gold to 6 dwts. 5 grs.
of gold per ton of 1000 lbs. of
coal. Researches are now prepar-
ing to be made on much larger
scale in Europe, gold by samples
taken at 40 or 80 different places,
and by several thorough analysis
by different chemical methods, and
the result will be known in not too

Chairman Elliott Shows That Assessme nts
Were Once Higher Than This Year.
Chairman Charley Elliott has been in
vestigating the assessments of former
years made by the Republican county
central committee since the complaints
have been made that the assessments
were too high this year He said: II
find that in 1889 the sheriff. county clerk,
treasurer and register of deeds were as
sessed the same amount, viz: $500 each
In 1891, 1925 each; 1898, with no fight
whatever, $97 so each. In 1895, the can
didate for sheriff admitted the fight was
on him and asked that his assessment be
made higher which was done and he
paid the full amount the day it was
made.
1T is generally conceded that all can
didates were expected to pay for the
campaign, whether the fight was on
them individually or not, and further
that about so much of campaign has to
to be made, fight or no fight, for the good
of the party, and if the candidates who
received the emoluments do not pay for
it, who should?
frank Brooks, register of deeds, ad-
mitted himself that his office was worth
So, 500 year. Charley McCabe stated
mis- was worth over $4,000, and if the
county treasurer'5 is not worth over
$1,000 year l cannot understand why
such good men as we have in that office
make scramble for it."
