full of sympathy for the poo,
and distressed. His character
was as a child in it's nature. His
speeches were eloquent while
pleading for human rights and
human liberty, for the better
ment of this world and for an
ideal America. Shall we wonder
how we all loved him He
worked to lift men and women
to a higher and freer condition.

self and his own comforts in the
endeavor to better the conditi-
lions OF the whole people.
mo man ever accomplished so
much in his appeals to the people
IN removing religious and polit-
ical prejudice. His whole life
work was the framing of one
brotherhood of man. In all re-
form movements Myron w. Reed
was a great and noble advocate.
Whereas, We recognize in
the departure from this life to a
Higher Life of Myron w. Reed,
a great and noble advocate of the
rights of organized labor, whose
heart and hand were always open
to champion the cause of the
producing classes. The vacancy
can never be filled. Therefore
be it
Resolved, By the Telluride 16

f. of M, that we bow to the will
Of the Supreme Ruler in the loss
Of our esteemed friend, and ex.
Tend to the bereaved family this
token OF our love and sympathy.

E Keen-Eyed Prospector.

A most wonderful discovery
has been made at Buffalo Hump,
that wonderful new quartz dis
trict that has set the mining
world wild with excitement.
The prospector who made the
discovery is entitled to go to the
head of the class of prospectors
of this and all other ages, and
have his name carved deeply in
the temple of immortal fame.
This discovery itself, although
great, pales into insignifcance
in comparison with the manner
in which it was made. The
Grangeville Free Press gives an
account of the discovery in plain
unveneered language, as if it
were nothing great for an Idaho
county prospector. This lucky
finder of a big vein of auriferous
silica sails under the very plain
name of Plenker-initials f. A.
1t is, however, very suggestive
of Plunker, for he went through
ten feet of snow and came down
kerplunk on big gold sprinkled
quartz ledge. Mr.. Plenker at
first sank down through eighteen
feet of snow without striking
solid ground. The discovery is
thus described in his own unro-
mantle language
"Then | looked around for an
other likely place to dig. I went
off into a little about 1900 feet
due west on the Big Buffalo claim
and started again. After sink
ing through the snow ten feet Il
found had struck big ledge
Of ore."
That is a very modest state
nent to come from such a won
ierful searcher after hidden and
uncovered wealth. The man
who could look around and find
! likely place to dig" for ore in
en feet of snow is without doubt |
he greatest wonder Of the nine
eenth century. To the ordinary
'rospector, travelling over snow
en- feet deep, every place looks
little less ''likely" than every
'ther place and surface indica-
ions" fail to indicate anything
nore promising than a hard win
err and a rush of water in the
pring. But not so with Mr..
'lenker. He looked through ten
eet of solid, cold and immacu-
ate whiteness and a few feet of
lack loan with the penetrating
ision of divine divination, and
spied, and knew he had found,
likely spot" so proceeded to
lg. with the auriferous result
foresaid. Mr.. Plenker is all
lght when the depth of the snow /
greater than ten feet, but his {
enetrating vision, according to !
is own frank admission, fails at
lghteen feet or more. Verify. |
II. Plenker hath fine eye for
the beautifuP'--when it is not /
20 awful deep. He's the wisest ]
nd most knowing snow prospec- {
'r we ever heard tell Of. It's 4
