In the enthusiasm of the chase he had
not noted which way he travelled and he
realized that he was lost in the heavily
timbered mountains, with night coming
on. He knew it would be useless to try
and find the camp that night 80 ne
gathered a pile of dead limbs and kindled
a fire against the ledge Of rocks and
laid down with his feet to the blaze and
prepared to sleep. While lying there he
noticed that the rocks sparkled in the
lire light. He got up and examined it,
slpnosing it was the fools gold he had
been warned against. But the rock looked
SO pretty that he broke off several pieces
and put them in the pocket of his hunt
ing coat, intending to carry them to Iowa
with him as curiOsities.
The next day he wandered all the
forenoon and then found the Gore pass
road over the range and followe it to
the camp That very afternoon a regular
mountain snow storm began and the par
ty broke camp. returned to Steamboat
Springs and from there went east.
The druggist, whose name l have for
gotten. stayed in Denver for a few days
on his way tohis home in Iowa. In the
LOBBY of a hotel in Denver the talk drift
ed to mining and the druggist mentioned
the specimens Of stone he had found and
was taking home. An old miner never
misses a chance to examine a specimen
SAA - Nils Situp III lut upltl lODDN WAS
an old prospcctor. He asked to be shown
the specimens. The druggist went to
his room. tished up the old hunting coat
from the bottom OF his trunk and took
out the piece of stone. The miner exam
med ii closely and exclaimed:
Man. that's the richest specimen of
gold bearing quartz I have ever SEEM
The druggist thought at first that he
was being joked with. but at last the old
miner induced him to take the specimens
to Burlingame. the best assayer in Dem
yer. Burllneame assayed a piece of the
quartz and reported that it yielded gold
at the rate of ST. 900 to the ton. The
druggist was not satisfied. He submitted
another piec" of the quartz to another ex-
pert a&sayei and got a report that it
yielded gold at the rate of SIS. 900 to the
ton.
Ihe druggist returned at once to
steamboat Springs, but there was SNOW.
IN the mountains. He went back to Iowa
and returned to the Gore range the next
spring, and has spent every summer since
then looking for the lost lode. and others
have searched for it, too, but no trace of
it has been ound.

THE LOST LODE.

They were telling mining stories yester-
day IN the court house, and Dee Reese,
the lawyer, asked:
Did you ever hear of the lost lode of
the Gore range
The other lawyers sitting around him
said they had never heard of it and then
waited for him to begin. Mr.. Reese Dor
roWed a fresh chew of tobacco and told
his story:
Hundreds of experienced and mex
p~erienced miners as we'll, have spent a
great deal of time and money looking for
the lest lode of the Gore range. and they
are searching for it yet. This famous
mine was found and lost in the fail of
1896. \ party of men from Iowa visited
HCutt County, Colo. in the fall of 80
on a hunting and fishing trip. The par
ty made its headquarters at Steamboat
Springs. In the latter part of October
the party moved up and went into camp
on Rock Creek. in the Gore range of
mountains, which runs through north
ern Colorado. One of the party was a
druggist who had gone on the trip for
his health. He knew nothing of mining.
He had been warned by an old miner be-
fore he left Iowa not to be fooled, as
many Il tenderfoot had been by what is
known as FOOLS gold Or iron pyrites.
SO this druggist paid no attention to
the rocks, but attended strictly to his
hunting and fishing.
One afternoon, while hunting for deer,
he started a fire buck and fired at him
and wounded him. Thebuck fell, but got
up and ran before the d~ruggist could get
to him. Where he fell was a pOoI Of
blood, which showed that he was badly
wounded. Thehunter trailed him by the
blood spots on the dead leaves and grass
for a mile and there found where the
buck had lain down and then rising had
gone on again. In this way the chase
continued until sun down and then the
hunter, who was exhausted, sat down on
an outcropping ledge of rocks to rest.

FEW DARK HINTS
Come That Butler Plans
Another Attack
ARE HARDLY BELIEVED
AS He Will Not Have Enough Menft0
Make the Attempt Certain Victory
Beers Retire to the North OF the
Tugela. =. 4

London, Dec. 80, 5 a.. m.-The latest
special dispatches from Chieveley camp
hint darkly at some important movement
as imminent. This is interpreted, with
some missivings. to mean that General
Butler contempiates a renewal of his at
tempt to relieve Ladysmith.
1t is reported by the same dispatches
that the Beers have now retired to the
north bank of the Tugela, being afraid
that the swollen river may bar their
retreat. They are also moving their
laagers nearer Ladysmith, probably
with the intention of putting further pres
sure on the garrison, which now seems to
be suffering pretty heavily from bonn
1t is difficult. however, to conceive
that General Butler would make another
frontal attack, especially now that the
river is rising and an additional indica-
ton that this is not his purpose is the
fact that he has removed his h%eadquar-
ters back to frere.
Inc EOer move ment nOrthward from the
Tugela is quite in keeping with the ene-
mys plan of securing a safe line of re-
treat.
1t is known that further artillery is
due to arrive for General Butler, but
~HN NAi~ AA~l1 10 thtll liz ORC even
then will be too weak. He may, how
ever. be animated by a desire to accom-
plish something before the arrival of
LORD Roberts and to satisfy the keenness
OF his men to retrieve their defeat.
The reported engagement with KAT
mrs is very vague and cannot be ex-
planned, pending the arrival of later
dispatches.
The Earl of acknowledgements, BROTH
er-ln-laW OF Lord L~andsdOwne, says the
war office would countenance a scheme
to enroll volunteers in a sort of prepara-
tory stage for drills and the like.
Members of the house of commons who
nave volunteered for the service at the
front threaten to seriously injure the
governments majority when parliament
reassembles.
The R~othschilds have donated $4,000
to the Buckinghamshire volunteer fund.
1T is estimated that G20O.0 600 will be con-
trlbnted throughout the country. Already
the fund for the relief of the families Of
soldiers exceeds $500, 0GO.

CHICAGO STYLE LAUGHED AT.

New York Times: Chicago, where the
changeable and reversible shirt bosom
was invented. has now come out in favor
of the abolition of suSpenders as 4 nee
essary part OF the dress of it's male citi-
zenS. Its tailOrS recommend to their Gus
toners the use of a belt in place of the
'SallllSeS' OF their grandfathers. One
writer on Chicago fashions has gone so
far as to say that most of the well dressed
men in the city ave adopted the new
TAD, and find it so very agreeable that
they will III the future have their dress
trousers held in place with the belt in
stead Of suspenders. That sort of thing
may go in the wild west. but fashionable
tailors here laugh it out of court. Il
couldn't get a fit for my customers" said
ore OF them in speaking of the latest
Chicago freak. 'and even if | could T
couldn't GEL any Of nay customers to do
away with the modest but useful sus-
pender. Belts with knickerhockers are
all right, but with any other sort a man
would be in a perpetual state OF hitching
in order to keep his trousers in place,
Possibly New Workers have more time
in which to dress than do the young men
OF Chicago. It's certain they'll never
get in such a hurry as to do away with
their suspendsrs. That's a sure thing. if
there ever was one. The idea is too pre-
posterOus to DO seriously entertained for
a moment. 1t must be a Chicago Joke"

JURY VIEWED HER ANKLE

the Hudson county supreme court to ash,
damages from the North Jersey Street
Railway ompany she was not at all
handicapped by the fact that a pretty
2-months-old baby cOoed in her arms.
m plaintiff asked for $1,000 damages
for injuries received while aIiehting from

ear. Her ankle was fractured.
My client will show the jury her
ankle said her attorney.
Mrs. Ames blushed and hanued the
baby to her lawyer. Then she raised her
skirt demurely and the jury inspected
the ankle, each man looking as severely
judicial as he could.
They at once gave her $3.50 damages.
