HISTORIES NOT IN DEMAND.
Newspapers and Magazines supply
Savannah's Needs.

War, and the making Of history, has
had no effect on the demand for histori-
cal reading. so far as the Georgia His
torical library is concerned. The publics
desire for information must be fully met
by the newspapers and the weekly and
monthly magazines.
Instead Of Increasing the request for
works of history. the war appears to
have had the reverse effect. and the num-
Der of calls for such volumes has dim
inished as the struggle with Spain grew
more thrilling. II is certainly tribute
to the newspapers and the current publ
cations that they have so fully satisfied
the public's needs The mass of accu-
rate, timely and well written historical
matter which has appeared from day TO
day. and in every issue Of publications of
the hour, has filled any vacuum that may
have existedg0r
Historical reading does not appear TO
DO much in vogue in Savannah, even in
times OF peace, and with war it has stead
lily diminished. Although the Georgia
Historical Societys library is well stock
ed with historical works, as a rule they
lie unopened, unread, uncalled for by the

THE DREAM MINE.
A Kansas Syndicate Formed to De-
 velop Ellet's Find

It is likely that the reliability of a famous dream had by A. Ellet of Goffs, Kan, ten years ago will soon be given test. That dream resulted in the discovery of the Dream mine, located a short distance this side of the Crowned King. Word was received yesterday that MT. Ellet has interested other par ties and formed a company for the de velopment of the mine. Operations
 will be begun on it within a short time. The circumstances of MT. Ellet's dream, every detail of which has been verified, were described by The Re publican several years ago and at tracted the notice of the London So- ciety for Psychological Research.
 The dream was briefly as follows:
 One day MT. Ellet, then living at Goffs, went to Wetmore, the nearest railroad town. He was suddenly stricken down and lay for three days, a part
 of the time in a comatose state and
 a part of the time in a delirious con- dition. At the end of the third day his recovery was as sudden as his ill.,
 ness had been, but it took his friends three days more to prove to him that l he had not been away on a journey.
 l He had a younger brother who en- 1 listed in the army in 1861, and at the i close of the war instead of returning
 home, went to California. His family 1 received letters from him at intervals 1 until 1868. Hearing nothing more | from him within the next ten years he
 was given up as dead and was all but forgotten. But he was resurrected in his brothers dream. He was at Pres
 colt, and the brother while his body i law dead iD a Wetmore hotel was with him in the spirit. The brother, Lew
 Ellet, was in the dream the owner of a
 silver mine about sixty miles south
Arizona republican., 1898-03-26

of Prescott One day the dreaming MT. Ellet went out to the silver mine with him. Having nothing else to do the dreamer measured a distance of 300 yards south from the shaft of the mine and 800 yards west. This brought him
 upon a great fiat rock on the edge of deep gulch. This was the site of the Dream mine. In some way MT. Ellet gained the impression that beneath the rock there was a deposit of gold ore richer than any that had ever been discovered.
 Within less than a week after the so-called dream there was a strange fulfilling of one part of it. A letter was received from Lew Ellet, who was actually resident of Prescott. A cor respondence between the brothers followed in the course of which it was developed that Lew Ellet was the owner of a silver mine about sixty miles south of Prescott In a subse- quent letter the dreamer wrote his brother about the gold mine and sent him the measurements. Lew replied that he had followed them, but they did not lead to any such locality as had been described This part of the dream was therefore temporarily abandoned as unreliable, but so much of it as had come true was accorded considerable space in Kansas City and St. Louis papers.
 In the fall of 1892 MT. Ellet, who had been in ill health, decided to spend the winter in Arizona. He went to Pres colt and said that the place was as familiar to him as if he had been there the year before. One day he ac- companied his brother to his silver mine, and on the way recognized many prominent landmarks which he had seen in his dream. The shaft of the mine was especially familiar. The old man had provided himself with a 10O-foot rope, for he had learned that his brother in making the measure ments sent him had misunderstood the directions. Instead of measuring 300 yards south and 800 yards east he had gone 500 yards south and 300 yards east The corrected measurement led to just such a great fiat rock on the edge of a deep gulch as had been dis closed in the dream, which was now all but fulfilled All that remained to he done to make it complete was to actually find the gold. Lew Ellet dis covered in the gulch a thin transverse ledge of decomposed rock apparently running into the Dream mine An as- say proved it to be very rich. The Dream mine was then located by the Ellets and George Sines of Prescott, and preparation was made for it's inn mediate development. But an early winter settled on the Bradshaws and the elder MT. Ellet, who was suffering from heart disease, sought the lower altitude of Phoenix, where he re-
 mained until spring.
 His brother occasionally came to see him and as soon as the SHOWS be
 gan to leave the mountains be began to report progress in the development work Before the end of the year he had reported the necessary location work to be done. The old man re-
 warded him by giving him money to buy more provisions and encouraging
 him to go back to the Dream mine and get at the gold as soon as possible.
 Lew would set out and get as far as the nearest saloon, taking care only to avoid meeting his brother on the street. In the course of a couple of
Arizona republican., 1898-03-26

weeks he would appear again with re- ports of more progress. Once ne brought several samples of ore Whlcn assayed at different offices something like $500 ton. Lew said at that rate when they got further in it would be nearly solid gold, and the old man suggested the necessity of cold cnlsels for it's removal.
 On one occas.on Lew drank enough to make him reckless and when he was supposed to be at the Dream mine chiseling out gold the old man met him on the street and upbraided him. Lew cursed the Dream mine, said It was a fraud and no good. "How about that $500 ore?" asked the old man. Lew admitted with drunken candor that that ore had never been within fifty miles of the Dream mine. He further confessed that he had never performed an hours work on the mine The old mans disappointment was intense, but his faith in the Dream mine was unshaken, though he had lost confidence in his brother. It became necessary for him to return to Kansas in the spring and he stopped at the mine only long enough to su- perintend the neglected location work by Mexicans whom he had hired. He has revisited the mine on frequent re- turns to the territory and has kept up the location work. The gold was not so near the surface as it had appeared to be in the dream. But if it is there at all this new formed Kansas syndi- cate will find it.
