THE EARL IS EXCUSED.
Charitable Decision of the Inves-
tigating Committee.
DUNRAVEEs CHARGES DIsPRovED.

The Investigators Think His Accusations
Due to Error of Judgment, but criticise
His Course-Mr. IseIIn and the Defender
Syndicate Fully Exonorated.
NEW YORK, Feb 1.--At last the COM
mittee appointed by the New York Yacht
club to investigate the charges Of Lord
Dunravon has submitted its report and
finding. The committee, which consisted
Of Messrs. u. !. Phelps, J. Pierpdnt Nor
gan, W. G. Whitney, A. Il. Mahan and g.
l.. Rives, made a thorough Investigation
of the accusations Of the Earl Of Dunraven
that Mr. 1sclin and the Defender syndicate
had been guilty Of unfair, unsportsman-
like and fraudulent practices In connection
with the international yacht races. The
report, the gist of which has already been
made public, is a volumnous document.
While for some time it has been known
that the committees report, supported by
the evidence. would entirely exonerate
Mr.. Iselin and the Defender syndicate and
mildly critioise the Earl Of Dunravon pub
lio interest is felt in the terms of the de-
cision.
The Committees Finding.
The official conclusion Of the committee
Upon careful consideration Of tho
whole case the committee are unanimously
OF the opinion that the charge made by Lord
Dunravon had its origin In mistake; that
II is not only not sustained by evidence,
but Is completely disproved, and that all
the circumstances indicated by him as CIV
ing rise to his suspicion are entirely and
satisfactorily explained They deem it,
therefore, but just to Mr.. 1selin and the
gentlemen concerned with him, as well as
to the officers and crew Of the Defender,
that the committee should express em-
phatically their conviction that nothing
whatever occurred IN connection with the
race I'm question that casts the least suspi-
cion upon the integrity or propriety of
their conduct.
And the committee are not willing to
doubt that II Lord Dunraven had remain-
cd present throughout the Investigation,
so as TO have heard all the evidence that
was introduced he would Of his own mo-
tion have withdrawn charge that was so
plainly founded upon mistake and that
has been so unfortunate in the publicity
10 has attained and the feeling to which it
has given rise.

Prospect the Surface,

Prospsctors should bear In mind that
all ledges have barren places. and that
vein is not necessarily yalueless be-
cause it's ore does not prospect gold, ex
actly on the spot where the miner places
his discovery notice and commences his
SHAFT, open cut or other development
work Of like character. Should unusual
luck favor him it will probably lead
him to the place at once where gold is
galore, but If he belongs to the majority
OF common mortals who prospect round,
unaided by this goddess of fortune he
will have to spend time and money to
find it. As a rule he starts his work at
The place where the largest outcrop of
rock is. He commences his shaft and
sinks it down certain depth with tie
hope of finding pay ore if he fails in
this and his means do not allow him TO
continue sinking in the shaft, he will
d'mn the district or country for his
sfalurs. This is an every day eaaar-
renee. Now, the fact Of the matter 10
the prospector is to blame himself for
this to him useless labor, for no man
should sink on barren spot of the
ledge except he has sufficient means to
90 down to water level and drift on the
vein for the ore chute. An experiment
Of this kind is well enough for capital
lists to undertake, a prospector, how
ever, should confne himself to the sur
face till he finds the ore chute. That
this theory is practically correct has
been demonstrated. The discovery Of
pay ore or the Golden Slipper mine
was by means of stripping the vein for
q long distance on the surface. This is
also true of the New Eldorado, owned
by Smith Bros. The latter have sank
many holes on that ledge without find
irg anything till they began to uncover
the ledge and discovered the place
where the ore prospected. From there
they took the ore to the mill which net
ted them s24 in gold to the ton of
rock. Perseverance on the part Of the
prospectors brought this gold bearing
ledge to light, which is now rewarding
them very handsomely for it. As an
other instance can be cited the Sunny
side mine. Years ago shafts were sunk
on that same vein at the head of the
gulch in barren rock with the expecta-
ton Of finding something in sinking, but
not realizing this hope the work was
abandoned. Now, it is reasonable TO
suppose that had this labor been spent
in uncoyering this ledge the ore chute
of the Sunnyside vein, which was laid
bare bya windstorm up.rooting tree,
which was standing on the ledge, would
haye been found long rgo. These facts
ought to be sufficient evidence to any
prospeetor that it pays to spend time in
prospecting a ledge on the surface for its
kSshols length before commencing deve-

Comforting Comment.

The editor of the CHRONICLE is not
unlike many other faberists who bulle-
tin their ideas for public inspection.
We have not been conspicuous among
the eminent few who have been singled
out for favorable public mention as a
forcible writer, therefore our reproduc-
ton Of the following commendatory
comment upon the write up Of Sylvan
lake appearing in q late issue, in which
we made a feeble attempt to describe
the matchless beauties Of Clusters most
delightful attraction, will doubtless be
graciously excused. Commenting upon
the article, the Hill City News says:
The people of Custer and the pro-
prietors of the Sylvan lake resort, must
be quite Indifferent to fine descriptive
writing and fine boom literature of the
very best type, If they fail to show lively
and tangible appreciation Of Sam Shank
lands superb write up of the mountain
lake and its strange and beautiful sur
roundings in late issue Of the Custer
CHRONICLE. Ii takes soul 10 properly
value natures wonders, poetic edge to
appreciate her beauties, and facile
pen to properly record such impressions.
Shankland has these. His picture Of
the lake, its granite setting, the pines
that sing to the waters, and the weird
stone monsters that guard every ap.
proach to its shores is one of the finest
things in the literature OF the Black
Hills. The Improvements, including
the beautiful, admirably appointed and
admirably kept hotel, are freely de-
scribed, and few who read the CHRoS.
rCLE's article can resist the desire to
behold such beauties and enjoy the rest,
comfort and luxury which man ias
provided.

Worse Than Reported.

From parties up from French creek
about fifteen miles below Fairburn word
is received concerning the effects of the
recent water spout and washout that i,
amazing. Many will express surprise
that the state of affairs should have re.
mainsd practically unknown until now
but when the facts ofthe case are known
it is not to be wondered at on account OF
communication having been almost en-.
tirely cut off by the large amount oi
wire fencing being down. The Jour
nails informant states that travel of any
kind is almost impossible by reason oi
the many miles Of barb wire fencing that
lies stretched all over French creek
valley.
Many will be surprised to know that
ten families were obliged to fly to the
bluffs TO escape drowning when the
water went down the creek in such vol
ume caused by the cloud burst near
Fairburn. Several houses were washed
from their foundations, and the contents
csrrisd beyond recovery. As the avail
anche Of water started on its way the
alarm was carried down the creek by a
man on horseback, which gave the set
tiers time to get to the bluffs. One man
was in his house when the water struck
his place and before he could get out he
was wading in water in his own cabin
up to his neck, and if it had been deeper
he would haye drowned 40 he could not
get out. At Will Morris place French
creek was forty feet deep. Charley Ed
gerton was in dug out at tho time and
would have been drowned had not the
