A BELIEVER IN DREAMS.
But the Geological Expert Took No
Stock in Them.

The other day Editor Higgins was
telling of a dream he had two nights
| in succession, says the Mercur Miner.
! He thought ne had found rich ledge
| of ore in a certain part of the caflp
with barrels of gold nuggets in it. HAD
| he dreamed it the third time he thought
he would have gone in search OF the
| ledge. This reminds US of case wnere
a man lost rich ledge by not attend
ing to the warnings OF a dream. IL
was in 1894 during the excitement III
the Granite Mountain district. 1t Will
be remembered that several rich strikes
were made there and a large number
of prospectors went into the country.
Among them were Jim McGregor and
Tom Marshall McGregor was a
Scotchman with all a ScoIchman'S su-
perstition and belief in cmens, dreams
and signs. Marshall was a broken down
college man with no belief in anything
but the ordained laws of nature and
the science of geology. One night he
dreamed that he had found rich ledge
of free gold running along the ridge
of a peculiar shaped mountain. He had
often seen this ledge but knew there
could be no gold in ii for II was of the
wrong formation. But he had the dream
three nights in succession and it made
something of an impression on him. He
told it TO McGregor and he advised
him to investigate the ledge but Mar
shall only laughed at the idea. Fin
ally the Scotchman determined TO pros
pect a little for himself. After getting
minute description from Marshall OF
the place where the find was made in
his dream he went to digging, but did
not say anything to Marshall for fear
of being laughed at. 1t was most
unpromising looking location, being
apparently a lime ledge. He sunk a
shaft alongside the ledge and within
ten feet struck a body of gold bearing
quartz. After sinking for two days he
came upon a rich assure, only few
inches wide, from which in the next
six weeks he took $4,000 in gold. 1t
was the richest strike ever made in the
Granite Mountain district. McGregor
located the ground before anyone knew
there was any gold in that part of the
district. Marshall tried to get him to
give him a share in it as he said il
was really his dream that had led to its
location. The old Scotchman wouldn't
give I'D a nickel. however. He said
Marshall had always made fun of his
dreams and his signs and now he would
get even with him. If he wanted to
get rich mine let him take his geo
logical books and his college theories
and go off and find one.
The episode completely changed Mar
snail he DecdIne d believer III dreams
and q searcher after lost mines. Stories
of buried treasures and wonderful
strikes had a great fascination for him.
Coming to believe in dreams he natur-
ally had some very remarkable ones
and it was a dream that led him to be-
lieve that there were rich placer beds
in the Jordan river south of Salt Lake
The last we heard of him he was pros
pecting along the Snake river in Idaho
McGregor took his money and went to
Scotland.

THE CENTURY MINE.
Promising Gold Property Up in Box
Elder County.

The Brigham City Bugler makes the
following mention of the Century mine.
which is owned by a Salt Lake com
pany:
The Century mine in Park Valley is
now one of the most promising claims
in Box Elder county. This week, Fore
man William r. Bowden passed
through Brigham on his way to Salt
Lake with a lot of fine ore from the
Century In a bottle he carried some
reduced ore from the mine, yell
low with canary gold, that assays $3.50
TO the ounce. Ore from this mine has
assayed into the hundreds, but the re-
turns from eco pound lots of average
ore run about $50 to the ton. Three
shifts of men are at work now; they
have 1.500 feet of good grade ore opened
up. and expect TO erect a mill in a
short time; there is plenty of paying
ore now in sight to justify it. To-
gether with a mining expert from Salt
Lake, some of the Salt Lake owners
have just returned from an inspection
of the mine. All are pleased with the
promising outlook.

I'D in Idaho.

The Avalanche of Silver City. Idaho,
in commenting on the mining interests
of that section. says:
Heber Davis and ALI Sctheren were
over from Quicksilver district this
week, and from the former we learn
that considerable development work is
being done throughout that section. Mr.
Davis and his PARTNER, Con Lowney.
are nearly TO their vein with 500-foot
crosS-cut tunnel. Prospecting work is
being done to prove up the district,
and tine courage displayed by Messrs.
Davis and Lowney, in running a tunnel
over 500 feet goes to show the abiding
faith of the mine owners of that sec
ton. The Avalanche mining expert
will visit that district during the pres
ent month.
Gus Hcltgren and Carl Nelson have
taken a contract to sink the Trade Dol
lar shaft 80 feet. with the privilege of
100 feet if they desire. They are both
good miners and will put the job
through in short order. The shaft is
now about 80 feet in depth and will be
sunk at least 300 feet

Reading. Pa. June Especial to the
Denver News with the additional
departments which shut down today,
1000 men employed by the Reading
Iron company are now idle as the re-

this year. The first took place last
March, which the men accepted. and
the other was to have taken effect
yesterday, but q majority of the hands
quit. The puddlers were to have been

employees were to have received an
average cut of 10 per cent. The COM
pany employees fully 1900 men and the
remainder. it is believed. will soon have
to quit because the departments in
which they are employed were depend

their iron.

who was hailed as The advance agent

promises of steady work and good
wages. The president of the Reading

In the present lockout it was a gen.
eral movement among the men. They

Heretofore. outside of Cable. in the

dropped and the hunt for gold begun.

CHAPTER vi.
A MURDERoUs AMBUSH.

With hasty glance at the sluggish
black water, Maurice and Phil jumped
together, landing FAIRLY in the boat.
Hamid followed instantly, but Grodno
in the very act of leaping was confront
ed by soldier, who presented his rifle
at the convict's head and pulled the
trigger The weapon missed fire, and
before the guard could recover from his
surprise Grodno sprang furiously upon
him and bore him to the deck.
From the boat the boys witnessed the
whole affair 1t was a very brief strug'
gle, for the desperate convict, endowed
with more than ordinary strength,
choked his antagonist into state Of
helplessness, and hastily plundering
him of his sword and revolver sprang
to his feet. He tossed these weapons
down to Hamid, following them with
the soldiers gun, and then made des-
perate leap for the boat, just as half a
dozen guards rounded the corner of the
nearest deckhouse.
Had the fire made sufficient progress
to throw any light on the scene, escape
would have been impossible, but the
water was shrouded in darkness, and
by skillful use of a paddle which was
lying in the boat Grodno drove it some
distance out in the river before the sol
diers reached the. spot
"Stoop down." he whispered, and as
all obeyed half a dozen rifles cracked
from the deck of the barge, and storm
of bullets battered around the boat. A
struggling fire was kept up for two or
three minutes, but the guards were
shooting wildly, and none of the bullets
struck the boat.
Grodno continued padding with all
| his might, and just as the shore loomed
! up darkly ahead burst of flame shot
aloft from the barge, Illuminating the
water for many yards around. The
| tumult was now terrific. The steamers
shrill whistle mingled with the cries OF
the frightened convicts and the hOarse
command of the soldiers. The flames
were long since beyond all control, and
! the barge was doomed. The steamer had
! dropped alongside and appeared to be
taking the prisoners from the burning
| vessel.
Deeply interested in the thrilling
sight, the fugitives in the boat almost
I forgot their own peril
They waited until the barge was a
mass of flames from bow to stern, and
then Grodno drove the boat on shore.
AS soon as Hamid and the boys were
out he turned it bottom up and sent 1t
I adrift with the current
Captain Stanisla thinks we're
drowned" he explained to Maurice.
"Maybe he won't look for Us. Hurry
now; we must get away. They'll soon
miss us.
With last look at the steamer lying
motionless on the water and the blaz-
ing hull of the barge, they turned NJ
the steep bank and plunged into a thick
forest.
Grodno assumed the leadership, and
he hurried the party along at rapid
rate of speed, picking his way with
wonderful skill among the trees. Houl
