DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
A Promising Prospect Found While
Hunting Chickens.

John Jones of this city, according to
his usual custom, shouldered his gun
one day this week and crossed the val
ley into the mountains of West Noun
tain mining district on his annual
chicken hunt.
Mr.. Jones met with good sport in the
canyons, and on the mountain sides;
ing an eye open for anything else he
bulations he found what he considered
as a very promising piece of float, and
he at once began to look for the ledge;
but go where he would, he could not
find it, and at last he resolved to in
vestigate more carefully the spot where
he first had picked up the mineral
bearing float.
This he did, ard in scraping away
the soil with his foot, he disclosed an
eighteen-inch ledge OF mineral bearing
rock, and with stone he broke off a
sackful of the ore and brought it with
him to this city.
Assays were made of the mineral
yesterday, and it was found to carry
small values in gold and silver, and
while the results e the test did not
cause any great excitement OR enthu-
siasm, they were sufficient to lead to
the belief that the ledge would bear
prospecting, and il is the intention to
sink a ten-foot hole to determine if
the values will increase with depth.
The ore is an oxidized iron and is a.
good locker, and although it has prob
ably been we'll leached at the surface,

THE BEES STING.
The Omaha journal Begins to Fear
Mr.. Bryan


Mr.. Bryan
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 4-The Evening
Bee, published by the Bee Publishing
company, of which Edward Rosewater,
a director Of the Chicago Associated
Press, is proprietor, says editorially:
CAS- a member of the Associated Press,
the Bee was the first to remonstrate
against the perversion Of the service i'm
the interest Of Bryan or any other
candidate for Office. The function OF
the Associated Press is to transmit the
news, not to circulate campaign liter
allure and personal puffs.
when the Associated Press appOint-
ed Mr. Bryap's private secretary it's
agent to travel with Bryan and report
his movements and his utterances, it
was to have been expected that every
thing sent out about the Popocratic
candidate would be distorted and mag
nified in his interest. Judged by the
reports which Mr.. Bryan's private Sec
rotary sent out through the Associated
Press from this section, the tremen-
dous ovations and triumphal receptions
accorded Bryan in the east are to be
taken with large grains Of salt.
"All the way across Iowa the imagin-
ative private secretary peopled every
SLdLIOI WIN IllOuSdHuo ana SNCly
water tank and railroad crossing with
eager hundreds giving vent to their ex-
uberant enthusiasm Such reports were
doubtless highly gratifying to the sill
yer organs west of the Rockies, but
they were an imposition upon Asso-
ciated Press members as we'll as upon
the public.
1T is for this reason that the Bee
is exercising its privilege to keep it's
reports Of Bryan's wanderings and va
porings within reasonable limit. AS
previously stated, the bulk of the Bry-
an speeches are mere repetitions Of the
same old song. Whenever Bryan gives
expression to anything original or new
or meets with any incident that is OF
moment or has any bearing upon the
campaign, readers of the Bee will have
all the particulars"

NEW YORK, Sept. 4-One week from
next Saturday the most deliberately
equipped hunting party that ever was

when it leaves this city, will be W. K
Vanderbilt and DIR. w Seward Webb,
who will be the hosts of the trip. With
them will be other of their close per
sOnal friends. At Omaha the party VIII
be increased by the presence of Gen
eral Miles, Of the regular army, and
Captains Baldwin and Maus. formerly
OF his staff and his companions in several
of the western eampa. gns and outings.
The trip, which will extend over at
least one month and is likely 10 keep
the party in the northwest until after
snow flies, has been most deliberately
planned. The resources Of the Wagner
Palace Car company, of VIII h Dr.. WEBB
is president, has been used TO make the
trip to the park an enjoyable one From
there detachments Of the regular army
will look after the distinguished party.
So far as possible the party will make
its home in the private car of Dr.. Webb.

Another Big Piece of Gold Float
Found in Horse Heaven.
Joe Moses, the well-known mining
operator, returned the first of the week
from Marysvale, where he has been
developing valuable mining claims own
ed by the Aurora Gold Mining 81 Mill
ing company, of this city.
The Aurora group is located in what
is known as Horse Heaven, and is a
south extension of the Dalton property
Since Mr.. Moses began operations in
the spring he has driven a 100-foot tun-
mel on a strong and well-defined vein.
AS work progressed, the size Of the
ledge increa sed, as well as the values,
and when Mr.. Moses left for this city
the face of the tunnel was in four feet
of ore that carried average values of
81 ounces silver and $11 in gold to the
ton.
The officers of the company are highly
pleased over the showing and 1T is
the intention to push work as rapidly
as possible, as all indications so to
show the near presence of a great body
of ore in the Aurora group.
Horse Heaven is noted for the rich
float found within its environments
For number of years pieces OF float
have been picked UP there that were

years ago a piece of float as large as

cording to Mr. Moses. similar chunk
was found in a gulch between the Au-
rora and Eagle properties that fairly
g'lfstened with the yellow metal, and
from which assays were obtained rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 in gold to
the ton.
This float undoubtedly comes from
Dalton mountain, and it cannot be a
great while now before the ledge will
be found from whence it came; and
when this is done Marysvale can boast
of one of the richest gold mines in the
west.
