PLEASED WITH THE CAMP.
The Views of an Expert on the Bramel
Mining District.

The following communication is
self-explanatory and will be good news
to all mining men of this section:
Editor Republican:
In answer to my W agreement
made by some months of correspond
ence with your most agreeable fellow
townsman and citizen, Louis Miller, |
reached Laramie at 12:12 o'clock,
March %, 1896. the next morning start
ing On Il 35-mile trip to Cummins,
this county. to examine the Bramel
Mining district for Mr.. Miller, myself
and a syndicate of Chicago and eastern
capitalists.
found many good mining proper
ties at Cummins, but regret to say they
are not being properly worked. largely
for the reason that the camp has not
had suficient capital to purchase the
necessary machinery to really deter
mine what your lodes contain.
The Bramel Mining district COM
pares favorably with the formation
and grade of ores of the Cripple Creek
mining district, in Colorado, but to my
mind much richer in gold on surface
discoveries. In Cripple Creek they
were compelled to reach a depth of
about 200 feet in order to find paying
gold. think gold. copper and silver
will be found in many Of the lodes and
developed mines in the Bramel district
that will become paying shippers at a
depth of 100 to 200 feet.
While in Cummins, with assistance
OF several Of its quite willing citizens,
we took samples Of ore and pulverized
them and washed them, and l have in
my possession several nuggets of gold
I also have several nuggets Of bullion.
which contain each and every compon-
ent part. have several samples of
ores from different claims in the dis
trict which I will have assayed, that
may more fully determine their exact
va1ue on my return to Chicago. But
from my observation OF the ores
at the camp, l look upon 1t az a much
neglected camp. but a very valuable
one. With the proper machinery and
proper development, it will become a
paying mining district.

Active Work Will Begin at the
Earliest Possible Date.
OTHER MINING MATTERS.
4 Communication From n Chicago
Expert Upon the Prospects Of
the Bramel Mining
District.

Mr.. A. f. Reed left for the grounds OF
the Albany Placer company on Doug
las creek today. He will make an
examination and report to his COM
pany as to when it will be advisable to
begin work for the season. 1t is
thought that it will be possible to com
mence in two weeks time, and even be-
fore then men will be put to work
cleaning out the boxes ard making
other preparations.
1t is the purpose Of the Albany COM
pany to push the work on the property
this summer with all possible vigor.
To begin with two shifts will be put
on, to work eight hours each. and it is
thought that a light can be secured by
which a third shift can be probably
worked. If this can be accomplished,
every hour in the day will be occupied.
At first only one outfit will be run,
but If matters prove as anticipated, two
will be put on and an immense amount
of work performed this summer.
1t will be remembered that when the
Albany company quit work last fall it
had everything in readiness for active
development, and that a test of some
thing like 20 yards of earth was made.
From the showing then made it is be-
lieved that the work of the present
year will open the yves of even the
most sanguine believers in the rich
ness of the Douglas creek district. The
test made gave over 81 per yard. and
the conditions were not altogether fav-
orable either.
Where the Albany company's groud
Is located. plenty of water can be Sc
cured and the work will be kept up
for a period of six months, until 1t is
stopped by the frost.
The first operations of the company
for the present season will be on
Dawes gulch, which is just opposite
Moore's gulch On Douglas creek.
The work for the present season has
been given into the hands of a board
Of managers consisting of Charles Gull
ross. M. N. Grant and John Marks,
and under the direction of such prac-
teal and energetic men it is hard to
see how there can be any such thing as
fail.
All eyes are on the Albany.

CALIFORNIANS AND A BAG OF
GOLD.

-
Washington, D. c., April 1.-Samuel
Hamilton, a lawyer from Los Angeles,
and William Davis, a merchant from
| San Francisco, arrived at the Ebbitt
house at a late hour on the night Of
November rs last. A day or so after
ward they received a bag of gold and
deposited it in the hotel safe. In a few
days they departed from the hotel and
took rooms elsewhere. For safety they
left the bag Of gold at the Ebbitt house.
About the LIST Of January Davis had one
of the clerks open the bag and began
using from it, and drew out at inter-
walls sums amounting to $500. Yester-
day Davis and Hamilton went to the
hotel to get the bag and take it away
with them. Upon receiving it they at
once declared that it felt very light.
The money was counted, and the two
men said that $500 had disappeared.
They are positive that when the bag
vas shipped from San Francisco 1t
contained 5 1850 in gold-all except SO
in $120 pieces. They say the original
amount has shrunk to $3.50. They have
demanded reparation at the hands of
the hotel management.
Manager Burch says that neither he
nor any one of the hotel employees ever
knew how much the bag contained.
Detectives are at work on the case.
Davis retired from the commission and
liquor business in San Francisco,
Hamilton is his attorney.
UNIQUE RAID ON INCONSISTENCIES.
Lexington, KY, April 1.-The most
peculiar raid on moonshiners ever
made in Kentucky was that Of Revenue
Agents Houston and Fleming in Law
renee county yesterday. They had To-
Gated the Illicit still of George Sturgill
on Ebenzer creek. Houston went out
yesterday morning to destroy the still,
leaving Fleming at the house where
they were stopping, to do some clerical
work. He returned about noon and
told Fleming that he would have to 60
with him. that he was having trouble.
When they arrived at the still house
they found Magistrate Boggs holding
court.
Bill Bently had stolen sturgfll's stir,
and had hidden 1t, 80 that he could lead
the revenue officers to 1t and obtain the
SO reward. Sturgill found that Bently
had his still, and caused a writ OF re-
plevin to Issue before Squire Boxgs.
About thirty m~oonshiners werc lis
tening to the trial. and Just after the
revenue men rode up the magistrate
decided that the sti1 belonged to stur-
gill. and that 1t be delivered to him.
The revenue men selxed the still and
cut It to pieces. This nrakss y illicit
stills cut up in Kentucky in tie hst
nine months, more than were destroy
ed during the previous two Year,.

"Perhaps we shall tide over tonight,
after all-who knows?" said Lomaque,
ringing his hand bell for lights. They
we're brought in, and with them oml-
nously returned the police agent Ma
gloire with small sealed packet IL
contained an arrest order and tiny
three-cornered note, looking more ike
o love letter or d ladys invitation 10
party than anything else. Loma1qpe
opened the note eagerly and read these
lines, neatly written, and signed with
Robespierre's initials-M. R.-formea
elegantly in cipher!

"Any more work for me to-night?
asked Magloire, with yawn.
"Only an arrest" replied Lomaque.
Collect our men, and when you're
ready, get coach at the door"

went out. "The devil seize the Arlsto-
Gratis! They're all in such hurry TO
get to the guillotine that they won
even give a man time to eat his VIC
tuals in peace"
"Theres no choice now" muttered
Lomaque, angrily thrusting the arrest
order and the three-cornered note lhlo
his pocket. His father was the saw
ing of me; he himself welcomed me Ike
an equal; his sister treated me ike a
gentleman, as the phrase went in those
days, and now"

then unlocked his desk, produced bot
tie of brandy, and poured himself out
a glass of liquor, which he drank by
sips, slowly.

Courage! courage! what must be, must.

exclaimed Lomaque, locking up tha
brandy bottle, and taking his hat
after all, as this arrest is to be made
it's as we'll for them that l should

Consoling himself as he best could
with this reflection, Chief Police Agent
Lomaque blew out the candles, and
quilted the room.

THE LEGS KICKED.

Surprise OF an English Visitor Who
Thought He Was Rescuing Man.
Frank Hyatt, who has long enjoyed
an income of $4,000 derived principally
from his vocation as booking agent
for London Thespians, two weeks ago
landed in the American metropolis for
the purpose, as he said of seeing what
on earth Mr.. ]. A. Bailey could do with
so many men and beasts as he had been
shipping to him. New York and its
ceaseless rush amazed him. Mr..
Baileys winter quarters at Bridgeport
were past his belief, the swiftly moving
Broadway cars, "a lot of trans pulled
by a string" surprised him, says the
New York World.
His idle moments "at '0me" are spent
upon the race-courses Of England and
there, in times past, he has met many
of his friends. Recently, at an uptown
Broadway hotel, as he glanced out into
the street his kindly blue eyes seemed
to start from their sockets. Rushing
into Broadway he shouted:
"Hold on here! Don't start that car!
Here, somebody, call an ambulance"
Then Mr.. Hyatt plunged almost head
foremost under the car and began tug
cling away at a mans legs that were
lying across the rails beneath the center
of the car. As he did so the legs be-
gan to kick vigorously. The rescuer
felt himself pulled away violently, saw
the brawny fist of the conductor shak-
ing close to his nose and he heard the
angry voice of the conductor saying:
what do you mean, sir, by trying 10
keep that man from fixing the car? Do
YOU think we want to block Broadway
all day?"
Mr. Hyatt turned toward the hotel
and was greeted by laughter from the
crowd that his cries had attracted.

brother. They had sat talking together
long after sunset, and had let the dark
ness steal on them insensibly, as peO-
pie will who are only occupied with
quiet familiar conversation. Thus it
happened by curious coincidence,
that just as Lomaque was blowing out
his candles at the Office, Rose was light
ing the reading lamp at her brothers
lodgings.
Five years Of disappointment and sor-
row had sadly changed her to outward
view. Her face looked thinner and
longer; the once delicate red and white
of her complexion was gone; her figure
had wasted under the influence Of some
weakness which already made her stoop
a little when she walked. Her man
ner had lost it's maiden shyness only
to become unnaturally quiet and sub
dued. OF all the charms which had
so fatally, yet so innocently, allured
her heartless husband, but one re-
mained-the winning gentleness of her
voice. It might be touched now and
then with a note of sadness, but the
soft attraction of its even, natural tone
still remained. In the morning Of all
other harmonies, this one harmony mad
been preserved unchanged Her
brother, though his face was care-worn,
and his manner sadder than of old,
looked less altered from his former
self. 1t is the most fragile material
which soonest shows the flaw The
worlds idol, Beauty, holds it's frailest
tenure of existence in the one Temple
where we most love to worship it.
"And so you think. Louis, that our
perilous undertaking has really ended
we'll by tb!s time?" said Rose, anx-
iously, as she lit the lamp and placed
the glass shade over il. What re-
lief it is only to hear you say you think

well even hoped is a great word
from you, Louis-a great word from
any one in this fearful city, and in
these days of Terror"
She stopped suddenly, seeing her
brother raise his hand in warning. They
looked at each other in silence, and lis
tened. The sound Of footsteps going
slowly past the house--eeasing for a
moment Just beyond it-then going on
again-came through the open window.
There was nothing else, out Of doors or
in, to disturb the silence of the night
the deadly silence Of Terror which, for
months past, had hung over Paris. 1t
was a significant sign Of the times, that
even passing footstep sounding lit

At this avowal, Danville's suppressed
anger burst beyond all control.
Give it him back" he cried in a
voice of fury. You shall take no, pres
ents from him; the venom OF the house
hold spy soils everything he touches.
Give it him backw She hesitated you
won't?" He tore the book from her
with an oath-threw it on the floor and
set his foot on it.
ooh, Louis! Louis! for Gods sake, re-
memberw ...,. ..-.--
Trudaine was stepping forward as
the book fell to the floor. At the same
moment his sister threw her arms
round him. He stopped, turning from
fiery red to CHASTITY pale.
"No! no! Louis" she said, clasping
him closer. mot after FIVE years
patience. No-nor'
He gently detached her arms.
"You are right, love. Don't be afraid;
it's all over now"
Saying that, he put her from him,
and in silence took up the book from
the floor.
won't that offend you even?" said
Danville, with an insolent smile. "You
have wonderful temporary other
man would have called me out.
Trudaine looked back at him stead
lily, and taking out his handkerchief,
passed it over the soiled cover of the
book.
IF l could wipe the stain Of your
blood off my conscience as easily as
can wipe the stain of your boot Off this
book" he said quietly, you should not
live another hour. Don't cry, Rose, -
he continued, turning again to his sis

but he gave 1t no utterance. There
was an instant's pause of silence; and
through it there came heavily on the
still night air the rumbling Of distant
wheels. The sound advanced nearer and
nearer-advance and ceased under
the window.
Danville hurried to it, and looked
out eagerly.
Il have not fastened my return with
out reason. wouldn't have missed
this arrest for anything! thought he,
peering into the night.
The stars were out, but there was no
moon He could not recognize either
the coach or the persons who got out Of
it, and he turned again into the in
terror of the room. His wife had sunk
into chair-her brother was locking
up in cabinet the book which he had
promised to take care of for her. The
dead silence made the noise Of slowly
ascending footsteps on the stairs pain
fully audible. At last the door opened
softly.
