Rich Plaeers.

Some time ago Manager Robertson sent to
the New YORK Office Of the Gold Greek Ne
vsds) Mining eompsBy. three sacks Of gravel
from creyiee guleh. The returns from this
shipment we're received by last mail. The
Ness besitstes to give figures less the great
yslas they represent discrsdit themselves
among old placer miners. but they we're
better than $50 to the cubic yard.
From the gulch as high as 50 has been OBJ
tanned from a single pan. In the sample
sent to New York no attempt was made to
get rich ground, and it is believed the entire
gulch is equally valuable.
This gulch is one Of the many that are
drained into Gold creek proper, where bed
rock has never yet been reached. These
tributaries in time past must have emptied
millions into this one channel.
These gulehes also came down from Blue
ridge, Victor aud star hills where many
millions more will yet be mined from the
known lodges.
II is here where washing will commence
in the Spring and Superintendent Babcock
says that about the middle of May they will
make cleanup that will surprise the world.

A Nest Egg.

The neat sum of 5000 was found by H. s.
Beck, Public Administrator, in cupboard
in the house of the late Judge Hayton this
morning. Mr.. Beck was engaged in the in.
spection Of the effects of the late Mr.. Hayton
in his official capacity when he made the
discoverery
Shortly before his death Judge Hayton
told Rev Father Tubman that his money
was nearly all gone, and after his death the
only money discovered was twenty dollars
gold piece in purse found in his hand. Mr..
Beck and Father Tubman made a search Of
of the premises on the day the old man died,
but they come upon no other money; and
they searched the cupboard at the time.
The 5000 was in small mustard can.
The can stood behind the narrow board
which forms part of the front doors, and
its portion accounts for its being overlooked
when the 6rst serch was made. 1t is prob
able that Judge Hayton forgot about this
money when death approached, otherwise he
would have mentioned it no doubt. --Chron'

mining industry and confirming the belief,
which is demonstrated by facts, that we
have field for investment truly enticing to

Word has been received from the Rt. Rev.
Bishop Leonard of the Episcopal church of
this diocese, that he and DIR. Bell will visit
Phoebe after the conservation of the new
church at DeLamar which will be called

together and practice so as to make as good
a showing as possible.
Plenty OF snow. 1t has been showing
here and in the surrounding country for a
week past, and is the heaviest known for
several years. 1t is as dear to the stock
raiser as gold strike is to the miner, and
has raised hope in them and invigorated
new life, as it is now assured that plenty Of
water and a good range are the assureties of
the coming season.
Reports as to the condition of the roads

go down to the hub, and freight teams are
compelled to double up to the extent of FIVE

his first meeting with General Grant:
In the year 1888 was working as q
boy in country store at Flat Rock,
Bourbon county, KY. Ulysses S. Grant
was then boy, living at Georgetown,
o., not many miles distant. One day
Grant drove over to Flat Rock with the
niece Of my employer Grant was then
10 years old. awkward, ungainly, de-
termined, industrious and very poorly
dressed. He drove vicious horse. The
night after his arrival at Flat Rock he
slept with me in the store. It cold
night. and we boys kept close to the
leo of the counter.
In the morning Grant asked me if he
could assist me. Isaid Yes. He help
Ell me take down tho shutters and sweep
out the store and put stock in place.
After breakfast he drove off. I heard
from him afterward of his drive home.
Before he had gone far from Flat Rock
his horse ran away, and finally brought

the trembling horse by tho bride and

ing myself with allowing him to drop
from one hand by his fine spun thread,
and then either catching him in tho
other or gently compelling him to climb
back again by apparently eating his

days i'll separate box, and then, with

with which nature has provided them
for the capture and slaughter of their
prey, visibly turned pale.
Tiger was the victor, but even whilo

Most of us ut one time or another have

beach of ocean or lake. We have buthed

those stretches Of beach and shore which
seem to have been prrposely prepared
by kind Mother Nature as glorious
cycle path. Whether or not she orig
inally intended it for wheels, she GER
tainly spends IL great deal of her time
i'll keeping the path i'll repair, and these
active servants of hers, wind and wave,
rain and sun. are kept very busy at
work upon it all the time
This long and varied Path stretches
i'll its entirety hundreds of miles along
our ocean shores and around the borders
of our great lakes, but the particular
bit with which we became familiar dur
ing happy summer weeks, and to share
i'll whose delights / would tempt others,
is comparatively small portion on the
southern shore Of Lake Erie. 1t begins
with the extreme end of Cedar point,
which with its long arm holds in per
ton of Sandusky lay, and extends east
ward 8 miles CT more up the shore.
This sandy shore continues all the way
to Cleveland and beyond, but because
Of some intervening piles of rock one
cannot ride the whole 80 or GO miles
The shorter distance is, however, enough
