is of almost inestimable value.
We always looked upon it as a
crowning property of Custer
county, but, sincerely, believe
we have never. before, appreci-
ated one half of its real worth.
With silver at coin rates we think
there is practically more than a
million of dollars in sight; and
we have no idea that that's more
than a fifth if it is more than a
tenth of its magnitude.
The Bull of the Woods, Silver
Wing, Cuba, and others, that in
former days, when we used to
visit mountain, were pouring out
very high grade ores, are not
worked; some of them. perhaps
abandoned. Still there is more
more ore, there, without doubt.
In future days when labor will
be somewhat cheaper, and other
advances in the way of cheap
development, transportation and
reduction, these will be opened
again and aid the worlds cur
rency. Still, to US old timers.
their silence made a sad spot in
our heart. We would very much
have loved to have gone to the
Bull and found Tom Riley, Gong
since deceaSedl, in active mining
work, gathering large quantities
of its former rich ore-smiling
at his and his partners good for
tune. That can never be. And
on the Wing, too, if we could
only have seen George Clark and
Owen Long and their partners
and helpers it would have seem
ed better. But the mountain is
grander and better, for those
who have it in care, than in for
mer days by a vast per cent.
The mountain remains while we
fade away.

the engine struck the obstruction II was going
at about sixty-fve miles an hour. with seven
coaches of excursionists attached. Suddenly
the engineer felt tho engine go up in the air. He
reached for the emergency brakes. and the train
stopped so suddenly that many Of the passengers
were thrown from their seats.
investigation showed that the engine had run
partly over the timber, II being firmly wedged
between the two great driving wheels on the
left side, the other end being just In front of the
tender whoels on the left side.
1t is considered remarkable that the engine
did not leave the track, and the. prompt action

Much excitement was caused here about 3

blank shot at the tug Dauntless to compel her to
stop.
Tho auntless has been trying to get out of

week with n throat to fire. This afternoon she
moved out at the same time as the small

a short distance and then. seeing that prepare.
lions were being made for another shot, stopped.
An officer was put on board. and she was taken
to her pier and tied up. She has no arms on

$4,000 OF GOLD IN 4 CHUNK.
Further Facts About the Wonderful Pocke,
the Graves Brothers Opened.


SAN Francisco Aug. 1.-THE Graves brothers,
who made q rich strike In Trinity county on Aug.
4, arrived in the city this morning with a part Of
the pocket which they took out OF their mine on
Coffee Creek. They made the richest strike
known in Northern California in years, akinR
out in one find q chunk of gold. bearing quartz
worth SAC, 900. They had been working the
claim for less than two years, but up to Aug. .
had confined their efforts TO placer digging, and
in fourteen months they banned out over
$4,000.
On Aug. Q the miners started to tunnel under
tho hill overlooking their digginGs. They drifted
in about eighteen feet and found a pocket rest
ing on tho footwall of tho ledge. They knew
they had struck it rich, but instead OF telling
the news, they stuck to their work until they
landed the treasure on tho dump.
1t did not take long to size up the value OF the
pocket, and tho next question was how to get 1t
to San Francisco and convert 1t into coin. Tho
pocket was 3 feet in length. 2 feet In width, and
8 inches in thickness. 1t was too heavy to carry
away. and SO the brothers decided to break 1t in
two. One part they buried. and the rest thoy
carried to their cabin under cover of darkness.
On last Sunday night. shortly after dark, the
brothers put tho precious chunk In an old valise
on a blackboard, and one drove while the other
held q rife across his knees. They travelled in
this way to Redding, where they turned over
the gold to an express company
They say that Trinity and Shasta county
people have gone wild over tho gold strikes and
hundreds are on the way to the d~iggings. The
excitement has been increased by another rich
find near their claim by Murphy and Burgess
who are said to have found $S2 900 in one
pocket, whilo tho surrounding dirt pays from
$50 to 500 q pan.

Taken 70 Inc Scene OF Murder for which
Clergyuian II Imprisoned.

INpIANAPoLIs. Aug. 11.-Noah Baney. q con-
vict from the Northern Prison, was brought here
last night under guard and in company with the
attorneys OF the Rev. William E. Hinshaw, who
Is serving a life sentence for tho murder Of his
wife, and taken to Belleville, q village Of Hen.
bricks county, to corroborate q confession that
he made in the prison generating the minister.
He told the officers that he and Guy Van Tassel
and John Whitney went to Belleville to rob the
minister and thatit was Van Tassel who fired
the fatal shot.
When the attorneys reached Belleville with
him last night he identified the house In which
the murder occurred. and showed where he
had hitched his horse before entering. Going
over tho track taken by him and bis eonfeder-
ates. he entered the kitchen and told how the
furniture was placed. passed into the dining
room, and pointed out the position OF the table.
and thence into the bedroom and showed where
the minister and his wife lay in bed. He said
that he picked up the minister's revolver and
razor as he passed through. and afterward
threw them into the yard, where they wero
found. His description Of the furniture and
surroundings at the time of the murder coin
cided exactly with the facts, and tho attorneys
believe that their assertion that Hinshaw Is in
nocent has been strengthened.
Baney is a thief and Is regarded as a liar, and
the authorities believe that he based his state.
ments on newspaper accounts which he read at

Mrs. FELTON, is perhaps the best known woman

sufficient rope, they should defend their wives
and daughters. At this statement the audience
rose as II by a single impulse. and shouting
themselves hoarse and almost delirious, refused
to let the speaker go on for several minutes.
Mrs. FELTON, then concluded in tho same vein,
and at the close Of her speech hundreds clasped
her hand and assured her that she had voiced
their views and those Of tho people whom they
represented. The gathering broke up in en-
thusiastic confusion.
