THE WELL LAID PLANS.
The silver delegates played star en-
gagement today. There were only %
of the silver men who left the hall, but
there was feeling that the hearts Of a
hundred more who voted with the ma
jority followed the departing delegations
down the long aisle as they strode along.
Nevertheless the band played, the con-
vention Joined in singing The Red, White
and Blue, and the business of the great
gathering proceeded as If no unusual
event had occurred.
The men who walked out held min
iature convention of their own and
agreed to spring Senator Teller Of Col
orado, who has been their leader in the
Independent movement, as a candidate
for president. This plan will be con-
summated at a meeting to be held to-
morrow, when an address will be issued
over the signatures of the dissatisfied
delegates who turned their backs on
the convention, and probably by some
others. A canvass for signatures was
made tonight among the silver men and
the canvassers expressed satisfaction
They do not expect to secure the names
of all the delegates who voted against
the gold plank, but they say they have
received words of encouragement from
a majority of them. This address will
simply suggest Senator Teller's availa-
bility as presidential candidate upon
whom the entire silver vote can be con-
centrated and calling upon the voters of
all parties who believe in bimetallism
to unite upon him.

GOLD IN THE BLACK HILLS
Discovery of Deposits of the Precious Metal
Hade About 1872

The question is frequently asked.
when was gold first discovered in the
Black hills?" Although the exact date is
not known, the following extract from
the Bee of February 81, 1872, is believed
to be the first public mention of the dis
covery:
During the past two weeks rumors
have been circulated on the street that
gold in large quantities has been discov-
cred in the Black hills, and several ad-
Venturous spirits began quietly to pre-
pare for visiting that locality as soon as
spring should open. By the most of our
people very little attention was paid to
the rumors, as they could be traced to
no reliable source, but quite recently
news has come to this city via Sioux City
which puts the reported discovery be-
yond question of doubt. The region of
country where the precious metal is said
to be glittering in the sun has hither
to been inaccessible to white men be-
cause of the hostilities of the Indians,
but since the removal of the Sioux to the
hills last summer the wagon trains
which brought them supplies have made
a kind of protection that induced sew
eral persons to explore the country. 1t
is from them that the first news con-
cerning the richness of the deposits came
out, and now the Indians themselves are
odI IleilHS SpieHull SpeCllleliS loI pldH-
kets, food, etc. The Sioux City Journal
of last Tuesday has the following con-
cerning these discoveries, from which
it will appear they are no humbug:
j. w. Crawford returned to this city
on Sunday, after an absence of two
months on the upper Missouri He re-
ports that the gold discoveries in the
Black hills are creating intense excite
ment in the upper country, and hun
dreds are preparing to start for the new
mines. An Indian from Spotted Tails
camp came into the MILESTONE agency
while Mr.. Crawford was there with sew
eral excellent specimens, among which
was some very rich gold quartz. Craw-
ford obtained a specimen of the latter
and now has it on exhibition at e. B.
Crawfords store in this city. Those who
have examined it, among whom are gold
miners, pronounce it very rich The In
dian said gold could be found in the beds
of streams, in the side hills and in the
canyons in large quantities. 1t is the
general opinion of those who have in
vestigated the subject the most that the
Importance of the discovery has not been
exaggerated in what has reached us,
but on the contrary that subsequent in
vestigation will develop gold fields rival
ing in richness any yet discovered in the
country. Further intelligence will be
looked for with impatience, and ifthe re-
ported discoveries do not fail of confir-
nation there is sure to be a rush of gold
seekers which will make things lively on
the Upper Missouri
'These discoveries open a new oppor-
tunity for the miners to get rich. and we
have no doubt but that a company or
two will be formed in this city to pros
pect for dust."-Omaha Bee.

press the misery 1 endured during those
years. / was reduced in flesh until l was
mere skeleton. My sight and hearing
were badly impaired; was constantly
troubled with constipation and piles, and
had a sewers chronic cough. In short. life
was a burden and death would have been
welcome. l was treated by various spec

year-old twenty-flve-foot whale was sue

Efteha, after putting on his harness, start
ed for the shore Bulshoy, as usual, started
after the bidarka, and in doing so made
the discovery that everything was not as
1t should be- and then he reared and
plunged around at lively rate, lashing

Bulshoy kept up his antics for two whole
days. Next morning he refused to come to
the call of either Whitley or the Aleut
hunger. however, soon brought him to his
senses and on the morning of the third day,
as the native was out in the bay In his
bidarka, Bulshoy came meekly alongside
and seemed to beg for his breakfast, which
was given him. From that day Bulshoy
made no trouble.
On October / Whitley and the native took
the long boat belonging to the station, and,

Immediately ahead of the fore fiippers, be-
gan to cruise around the bay and in a sur
prisingly short time. according to Col.
Black, Bulshoy would pull the boat in any
desired direction.
During the rest of the year the pup was
daily exercised. On May 81 of this year
Whitley and his Aleut took the net away
from the mouth Of the cove, and, according
to the program laid out, struck out into
deep water for the Island of Onga, sixteen
miles away. The voyage was made with
out mishap. They afterward ma lie a voy-

1t is Being Driven, They Say, Across

From the Portland oregonian
Col. F w. Black of the customs depart
ment at Sand Point, Popof Island, situated
In the Shunagin group of islands off the
Alaskan peninsula, is in Tacoma, and is
authority for a remarkab BILE story Of cap
tive whale, which, If the plans have not
miscarried. is now being driven to San
Francisco harnessed to boat and driven
by his captors down the coast through the
waters Of the ocean.
The whale, named Bushoy, an Aleut word
for immense, was captured in the spring of
1891, when calf of some eighteen or TWEEN
ty months old. 1t was then about fifteen
or sixteen feet long, and though SO young
and small was possessed Of considerable
strength.
During chase for whales by whites and
Indians 1t was driven into Pirate Cove, the
entrance to which is not over 100 feet wide.
though 1t is fully twenty fathoms deep.
John c. Whitley, a storekeeper at the island,
Immediately stretched across the mouth Of
the cove a strong wire net.
Shortly afterward Whitley and his native
servant attempted to feed the animal and
were successful. Whitley rugged up a wal
rus bladder, to which was attached six or
seven feet of rubber tube. About half
gallon Of cows milk was put in this impro-
vised nursing bottle, and Whitley and Eff
died alongside the pup, which by this time
would allow them to come alongside with
their boats. After several hours of patient
coaxing the Indian succeeded in getting
Bulshoy to drink from the rubber tube.
When the bidarka turned for the shore
Bulshoy followed close behind 1t. More
milk was obtained. and this time Bulshoy
needed no coaxing to drink 1t.
For the next six weeks Whitley and the
Indian fed the pup twice every day. The
pup would stick his head out of the water.
close to the landing. and look for his nurses
long before the feeding time.
1t was not until the following spring that
the actual training of Bulshoy began to
take definite form. Whitley one day said:
Il am going to tralr that pup SO that I
can drive him to San Francisco
He and Efteha were constantly to be seen
on the bay playing with Bulshoy. who by
this time had become SO accustomed to
his owner and nurse that he would come
to them whenever they called him from
any part of the bay and allow them to
handle him at their pleasure. While this
process Of tanning going on Whitley
had taken the pups measure for a set Of
harness. and both he and his native spent
the nights for several weeks in making 1t.

and had begun to believe that the Indians

horses and riders went down--the fourth
horse made sudden spring as bullet
wounded him, and then went tearing away
across the level. This was the horse on
which Ninette Livingstone was mounted,
The outlaw behind her escaped the first
vclley, but the horse had not gone two
hundred feet when a second volley was
hred, and he threw up his arms and fell
out of the saddle. She caught the reins as
she settled herself down, but made no at
tempt to check the horse. Two or three
of the Indians were mounted on horses
taken from the ranch, but after a pursuit
or half mile they gave up the chase. 1t
was lucky they did, for at the end of
another half mile the wounded horse came
to halt and lay down in his tracks and
died. AT o'clock in the morning the girl
sat down on a stone beside the dead horse
and tried to realize her situation. She had
escaped the outlaws-she had escaped the
Indians but she was alone in the foothills
and perhaps worse off than when cap
tive. She dared not move until daylight
came. and when it came how could 1t bene-
mt her? She orouched down and shivered in
the cold night air and shook with fright
as the mountain lions and gray wolves
snarled at each other in the thickets. At 3
O'Clock In the morning she heard footsteps
approaching. Soon thereafter she could dis
tirgutsh the head and shoulders of a man
against the starry sky. An Indian? No. An
outlaw? Perhaps, but she preferred cap
t1V1ty to the present situation. She rose up

not over two miles behind the gang when

reflection of the burning house and heard
the volleys fired by the redskins. Haskell
at once jumped to the conclusion that the
Indians were out, and his approach to the
valley was made with the utmost caution
The Indians had killed three of the out

UP hot fire on the entrance bf the cave
and then two or three exposed themselves
to witness results. A bullet in-the soulder
rewarded the nearest one. Half en-
hour later all the Indians gathered en-

began to collect and throw down dead
