Bout this time his little gran son
was CROWN up, and Nuggets began for

to the canyon. Mrs. Hittel, she objected
at first but when she seen the boy
liked TO 60, and her father was dead set
Oh havin' him with him, she didn't make
no more objections. The boy yoused to
say that while they was in the can
yon Nuggets spent most of his time
huntin' for something he couldn't find.
One evening in the summer time
bout ten years ago--I was here then
myself Nuggets and the boy ken In TO
town and gave il a surprise that il amt
got over sence. You can believe il or
not, as You want 10, but he'd got back
his mind all right and talked as sensi-
bly, as I'm talkin' now. Don't believe
he ever was crazy himself-just think
he'd got his mind set on one thing and
couldn't get it eff. But he was purity
near crazy with happiness. He'd an
old rusty knife in his hand, and he kept
sayin' TO us all the time: 'Twaru't no
dream after all-'twarn't no dream.
Seems when they was in the canyon the
boy got TO playin' around and crawled
under a big tree that 'ad been blown
down, and found the knife stickin' in it
underneath. Course we know what that
meant.
well, Nuggets is all right now. So
was his claim. He sold it for a purity
nice sum to a couple of big mining men
down below. See those smokestacks In
the trees over in the canyon7 Well,
there's a 14-stamp mill on the spot
where the knife was found.

The stranger arose, stretched himself,

MAPS OF VALLEY FORGE.
Recent DiscOvery-Tradit
Of the Camp.

1t IS somewhat remarkable, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, that the only
known maps of the Valley Forge en-
campment during the winter of 1777-
rs were made known to an American
as late as last summer, when Judge
Pennypacker discovered them in Am
sterdam, and that, presented before
the Sons of the Revolution on their re-
cent visit to Valley Forge, they will
only become known to the American
public when published in the society
year book. The series of maps now In
Judge Pennypacker's possession and
made originally by French engineer
with the American army, include not
only careful drawings of the Valley
Forge encampment, but plans also of
the battlefields Of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey.
II is understood that the plat of the
Valley Forge encampment modifies
materially the traditions concerning
the camp, showing the location OF
troops where heretofore no troops
have been supposed to have had their
encampment. The careful Hollander
who contributed so heartily to the
American cause appears to have con-
tributed the last chapter TO the his.
tory of the cause by preserving these
maps until they fell into the right
hands.

MATANZAS BOMBARDED.

New DIRK, Puritan and Cincinnati
Shell Forts For Eighteen Minutes.
Off Matanzas. April 2S.-The New

bombarded the forts at the mouth of
Matanzas harbor yesterday afternoon.
There were no casualties on our side,
but it is believed that the hail of iron
which pounded in the forts must have
caused loss of life to the Spaniards,
though nothing is known definitely.
The engagement commenced at 1857
and ceased at lis. The object of the
attack was to prevent the completion
of the earthworks at Punta Gorda A
battery on the eastward arm of the
bay opened fire on the flagship, and this
was also shelled. About IL eight inch
shells were fired from the eastern forts,
but all fell short. About five or six
shells were fired from the half COM
pleted battery. Two of these whizzed
over the New York, and one fell short

1000 yards.

The half completed Spanish earth
works and battery were apparently all

All the ships engaged showed excel

gagement, and when they were firing

shell took effect. The forts which We're
bombarded were on a low lying point,
and were considered merely earth
works. They did not make good tar

fort could be seen flying in the air at
