$4,000 N ONE POCKET
FORTUNE TAKEN OUT OF AN
OLD MINE.
Located on the Same Lead as the
Famous Bonanza Nine, which in
Early Days was the Richest
Pocket Mine Known
$4,000 In One Pocket.

JAMESTOWN. Cal: A poor man and a
boy have taken ont over $4,000 from the
old Tanzy mine near here in the last few
days Most OF it was taken out in one
afternoon. A. Colby, q pioneer of Tuo-
iumme County, and Roy Becl,with, a
youth Of IA, are the lucky finders OF The
pocket.
The Tanzy is on the same lead IS ,h..
famous Bonanza mine, which in early
days was the richest pocket mine known,
and which has record of yielding the
princely sum Of 1855, $50 IN a single after
noon.
Colby at one time worked the Bonanza
Mine and took out many thousands OF dol
lars, only to spend them in the same place
searching for more gold. and it was By ex-
ercising the knowledge he had of the dip.
angle and direction of the Bonanza Mine
that he was enabled to sink shaft, almost
mile from the Bonanza and strike the
same lead and another pocket of gold the
value Of which has not been equaled III
many years.

Trouble at sisseton AGENCY

Some time since delegation of Sisseton
Indians was sent by the Indians near Will
mot to confer with the authorities in
Washington in regard to an individual
payment of $500, which they claim to be
due. The delegation returned last week
and general counsel of the Indians was
held near the government agency. While
the delegation was making its report a
squad Of mounted Indian police, under
orders from the new agent, johnson,
rushed in, arresting three mem bers of tie
delegation, and for time it looked as if
serious trouble was on hand. The prison
ers were confined in the guard house for
twenty-four hours and then released. The
agent claims the arrest was made because
no permission had been asked from him
for holding counsel. If it had not been
for the efforts of Rev. J. B. Renville and
one or two others there might have been
much trouble. An appeal has been mado
to the president by the Indians.

Mrs. Amelia hohler died Saturday at

written The Last Rose of Summer The
poem was OF her suggestion and the first
line was from her lips. She was. early in

While walking in the garden of the school
with the poet one day Mrs. kohler. so the
story runs, plucked a rose. remarking:
Ills the last rose of summer; write
about ii Mr.. Moore"
The incident suggested the thought that
was afterwards so beautifully woven into
verse. and the poem was dedicated 'sTo
Amelia which is Mrs. Kohler's first
name. She was 81 years old when she
died, and frequently spoke of having seen
Napoleon in her girlhood.
