coLoRAoo'S GOLD DISCOVERY.
1t is Said to Be the Richest Known on
This Continent.

This Continent.
DENVER, Col. (Special).--what Is said to
be the greatest gold discovery ever made
on this continent, and perhaps in the
world, is the rich find just reported in the
Isabella property Mt Cripple Creek, which
caused the greatest excitement in
Stock Exchanges. In stope
just started from the s50-foot level the
company has twenty and a half feet of
sylvanite ore that will run into the thou
sands, and besides this there Is a strike OF
metallic gold from two to three inches
thick and eighty per cent. fine. Manager
Kilburn, of the Isabella, has given out the
Following statement:
k"Some of the pieces OF ore are eighty per
cent. gold. l never saw such mineral, and
1 do not believe that its like was ever mined
In this or any other camp In the world. We
have had No assays taken on the rock, but
a ton OF 1t could be picked out that would
run anywhere from $50 900 to 5000, 900.
Armed guards are watching the property.
"The strike was made In the new ore
body, at u depth of $50 feet below the
surface. The chute has been cut at
the seventh level. 200 feet above, and
also at the fifth. At the latter place an
assay was obtained In the breas. OF
the drift on two feet OF ore hat went bet
TER tnan @lUuV TO tne ton. Inere was
blocked out In the one level bel ween the
ninth n the seventh level IS, 000, 900
worth of ore. I do not say this to further
excite the stockholders, but to correct
some reports which have been current"
The Isabella has an area of las acres and
Is situated In the centre Of Cripple Creek
district. 1t has six shafts and a total gold
output OF noarly So, 600, 900 in the last six
years. The first discovery made In Grip
pie Creek was one OF the claims now q part
OF the Isabella consolidation.

VANCOUVER. b. G. Especially After es-
Gaping death by drowning, eleven Of the
crew of the ship Manbare were captured
and eaten by cannibals of New Guinea.
The Manbare was bound for Sydney, Aus

gale Of December. Near Cape Nelson
Il began to sink. The crew, eighteen alto
gether, left the vessel in two boats, and
soon became separated. One boat, contain
ing twelve men, was finally Thrown ashore
ten miles from the cape. The sailors were
seized by natives from the interior and hur-
rled off to the village of the chief. Ono
man, James Greene, escaped.
The victims were stripped and bound
and killed, one each day. A wild orgie
was participated in by at least a hundre
savages, who had gathered for the feast.
In several cases the sailors were tor
tured by the old women and children
OF the tribe. The eyes OF one were
gouged ont. The doomed men stol-
cally watched the elaborate prepara-
lions for their death. A huge pot filled
with boiling water was used for the feast,
which on the first day was prolonged away
into the night. In most cases the men
were b~eheaded, their heads being stuck on
poles and paraded before the men who
were to suffer the same fate.
Greene was rescued by a steamer, after
tramping without food a day and a night
to reach the coast. The scenes of horror
