ANOTHER Ell DORADO.
TIE LATEST RUSH OF THE GOLD
SEEKERS is TO WYOMING.

The New DiggfnEs at PurgatOry GuIch
Are Said to BE of the Bonanza Order.
Some Monster Nuggets The Region
Difficult of Access.
The gold fever seems to have become
epidemic. It has almost come to such
pass that it is considered an of day
when some new goldfeld is not discov-
cred which rivals the Klondike. -
Even staid old New England has gone
into the Ell Dorado business, for, lacking
facilities for placer mining, some enter
prising citizens of Connecticut have dug
up the old theory of the possibility Of
extracting gold from sea water, and
they actually claim to have their appa-
ratus for accomplishing this long sought
end in practical operation. The public
seems to have lost much of its old time
distrust of gold strike yarns, but as yet
there has been no rush to stake out
claims along the Atlantic seacoast.
In southern Wyoming, however, a
discovery has been made which is re-
ceiving much serious attention. Incl
dentally it is causing no little excite
ment. A white quartz bowlder, not
much larger than an ordinary wagon
wheel, is the center of interest. It is
what miners term surface float, . for
when first found it showed traces of
gold. Upon closer examination this
mass of finty rock was found to be hon
eycOmbed with the precious yellow met
al, and it is stated that the rock holds
no less than $24, 5S4 worth of pure
gold. Just how the able boomers of the
Wyoming ColcOnda have ascertained the
exact value of this monster nugget I de
not know, but exact mathematical in
formation never seems to be wanting
concerning new goldfelds no matter how
recent their discovery.

DIAGRAM OF wYOAIING's NEW GoLDFIELDs-
to delight the soul of Bret Harte Pur-
gatory gulch, it might be well to men
ton, is in the very heart of the Sierra
Madre mountains and through it runs
Grand Encampment river, a tributary
OF the Platte. Like most goldfelds, this
brand new Wyoming camp is almost in
accessible The gulch is so miles from
the nearest railroad and is shut in fram
civilization by mountain barriers for
100 miles to the south, east and west,
leaving the only entrance from the
north, whence it may be approached
from any one of half dozen stations
along the Union Pacific.
Since the big find miners have been
swarning into the vicinity from all
parts of the west and excitement is at
fever heat. The customary mining ex-
perts have bobbed up and have enthusi-
astically declared that the surface indi-
cations are richer than those of Lead
vile or Cripple Greek. Quartz showing
gold can be picked up all along the can
yon and from these pieces of float some
wonderfully alIuring assays have been
made.
What the prospectors pin their hopes
to is the chance of finding the ''mOther
lode" or original vein, from which
these pieces have been washed as out
groupings. Four miles southwest of the
new town of Grand Encampment which
has sprung ur in the gulch is a noun
tain generously sprinkled with this
golden float. The prOspectors have al
ready named it the Mountain of Gold,
and each and every one of them firmly
believes that somewhere in the solid
breast of that mount runs a streak of
ore in which are tons of pure gold.
All sorts of fascinating stories are
being told about the Mountain of Gold.
Here is a sample: pieces of float no
larger than hens eggs have been found
to contain from so cents to S. worth of
free gold and chosen chunks have assayed
as high as ST., 600 ton. When it is
considered that ore which yields $50 to
the ton, about the value of rock taken
from the famous Portland mine at Grip
pie Creek, is considered rich, it will be
seen that this is a good story to tell.
The mountain Is traversed by nine
great parallel dikes Of heavily mineral
lied quartz. These dilzes are all tech
nieally described as cropping and
stand out as plainly as the rows in a
cornfield. They are separated from
each other by quartzite and mica schlst,
and the miners believe that in the bowels
of the mountain they converge and form
one great body Of ore. 1t is said that
great di6es of white quartz rise often
four and five feet above the ground,
and their surface shows particles of free
gold even to the naked eye.
These conditions are unusual in
qu;.rtz mining, and even the alleged ex-
perts who are on the spot admit that
they are unable to make an intelligent
estimate as to the character or value of
the hidden rock Thus far the deepest
shaft sunk in the canyon is down only
30 feet, and the vein has widened from
inches to 3 y feet. The reported assay
is 81, 32I Ie a ton, and if this is 50 the
richest mine in the world is not IN the
Yukon region, but in southern Wyo-

detail was that of Miss Julia Wikidal

at one O'Clock at the home of the
brides mother on Quincy street me
Aeolion Mandolin club behind pank o.
palms in the front haIl, playeu thS
Lonengrin march as the bridal party
entered. The ceremony was performed
by DR.. A. S. Embree. The bride was
given away by her brother, Mr.. Mar
tin Wikidal. The bridal party stood in
front of the pier glass in the first par
lOr; it was banked up on either Slde
and in front with palms ana WnIIe
chrvsanthemums. An interesting fact
is that three auntS of Miss W1kldal
have been married in the same place.
During the ceremony the ManGOln
club played the Angels Serenade from
Iohengrin The bride looked very
beautiful in a gown of rich white satin
trimmed with point lace; the gracefully
draped long veil was held in place by
a handsome diamond pin, the gift Of
the groom; she carried roses. The par
lor was decorated entirely in green and
white while the library presented
gorgeous appearance with dozens OF
American Beauty roses which smiled
from every conceivable place: In the
dining room where an eight course
luncheon was served, pink bridesmaids
roses were the prevailing flower; the
dining table in the center of the room
was feStOOned with them While smaller
tables were grouped around It, A
great many elegant presents were re-
ceived, among them was one from Pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley who are warm
friends of both the bride and groom.
MIR. and Mrs. Wells left on the after
noon train for a several weeks trip
in the east. They will be at home after
January I, at The Avenue, Evanston,
III. The brides going away gown was
blue, tailor-made broadclOth, braided
in black with which she wore a small
black felt hat. Miss Wil1idal is a beau
tiful young woman whose charming
personality has won her many friends
and she will be greatly missed from
TODeka society.
