A Rich GoIu Strike,

A CAPTAIN, n. NJ. dispatch of May
IS says: The richest gold strike prob
ably ever made in the United States
was made yesterday in the American
mine at Nogal. In the main shaft.
which is now down about lSJ feet, a
vein 10 inches wide was encountered,
which, in richness, has never before
been equaled in the annals of mining.
The rock in this lead is so closely in
terwoven with wire gold that it is al
most impossible to break it and it is
estimated by competent experts to
carry at least l0O,o o0Os in gold to the
ton. In fact, so rich is the strike that
guards have been placed in the shaft
to watch progress made by the miners
and prevent the ore from being carried
away. Since this remarkable lead was
encountered no one has been allowed
to enter the mine and orders have
been issued to guard the entrance day
and night.
When the strike was first made it
was thought to be only pocket, such
as occurs frequently in this country,
but after further and more careful ex.
animation it has been pronounced a
genuine tissue lead. The lead has been
exposed for several feet and it shows
no signs of pinching out or decreasing
in richness.
The American mine, in which this
discovery was made, was worked years
ago, and is credited with having pro-
duced over 5OO,OJys in gold. Work was
however, discontinued on it some years
ago, and since that time it has been
idle until few months ago, when it
was purchased by the American Gold
Mining Company.

The Man Behind the PICK.

There has beer all kinds of gush about
the man VINO is "behind".-
And the man behind the cannon has
been toasted, wined and dned;
There's the man behind the musket
and the man behind the fence;
Aud the man behind his whiskers and
the man behind his rent;
And the man behind the plowbeam,
aud the man behind the hoe;
And the man behiud the ballot, and
the man behind the dough;
And the man behind the jimmie, and
the man behind the bars;
And the Johnny that goes shopping on
the stage behind the ''stars";
And the man behind the kisser, and
the man behind the fist;
And the girl behind the man behind
the gun is on the list;
Aud they mis- sed one honest fellow, and
am raising of kick,
That they didn't make a mention of
the man behind the pick.
Up the rugged mountain side thous-
and feet he takes his way,
Or as far into the darkness from the
cheering light of day;
He is shut out from the sunlight, from
the glimmer Of the lamps;
He is cut off from the sweet air in the
sickly fumes of damps;
He must toll in cramped positions; he
must take his life in hand,
For he works in deadly peril that but
few can understands;
But he does it all in silence, and he
seldom makes kick,
Which is why | sing the praises of the
mau behind the pick.
He unlocks the bolted portals Of the
mountains to the stores
Hid in natures vast exchequer in her
treasure house of ores.
He applies the key dynamic, and the
gates are backward rolled,
And the ancient rocks are riven to
their secret heart of gold.
Things of comfort and of beauty and
of usefulness are mined,
By this brave and quiet worker--he's
friend OF humankind;
Who though trampled down and un-
der paid, tolls on without kick;
So lift my hat in honor of the man
behiud the pick

Thousand Millions in a Mountain OF
Gold.

A Helena, Montana, dispatch to the
Daily Mining Record says: There is
over thousand million dollars in gold
in Que deposit, about - miles south.
west OF Helena, so situated, however,
that only the best mining and engi-
neering skill and the very largest capi.
tai able TO extract it. This vast SUN
of gold has been known to exist for
many years, bat it was thought, until
recently, that it would be i'm possible to
handle it, partly because of the lack of
water aud other necessary requisites to
successful mining, aud partly because
it was situated too high up in the
mountains. The deposit has been pur-
chased by men of unlimited capital,
whose reputation for skillful mining Is
such to warrant the utmost confidence
in their ability to extract the golden
contents of these literally mountains
of gold.
The Porphyry Dixie, as the deposit is
called, consists of big group,
several thousand acres, south of Hell
ena on the continental divide at the
head of the Little Blsekfoot, Ten Mile
aud Basin creeks, and is deposit of
low-grade gold ore in the shape of a
"Y," the main truck being over mile
aud hal ia length and one branch of
the "Y" ranging from half mile to a
mile and half 10 width aud over three
miles ia length. The other branch OF
the "Y" is from 8 70 feet to upwards
of half a mile in width. These two
branches of the "Y" are separated by a
lower deposit also of porphyry. The
whole deposit in area is over three
miles in length and from a half mile to
a mile and a half in width and the
whole mass carries gold of an average
value of over d per ton. There are OF
course, barren streaks in it, and there
are also some very rich, which will run
upwards OF .5s to 3 3 per ton. The
whole area Of this deposit has been
within the last three years year ac-
quired either by purchase or location
by three syndicates. one called the
Mcclure syndicate headed by Chas'
Mcclure, of Sit. Louis, the well known
mine operator, who made tremendous
fortune in the Granite mountain mines
of Montana; the other called the Pan'

The report circulated in the town
yesterday to the effect that Mrs. Will

tied relative in Priceburg where a
case of smallpox is said to exist and
that one of the family from that place
had called on the Pollard family here
on Sunday last. This report, which
flew like wild fire, caused decided
sensation. Health Officer j. b. Grover
and President II. l.. Thompson, of the
local board of health. We're appealed
to. These gentlemen at once proceeded
at once to make Il thorough invcstiga-

the report was u highly colored one
and greatly exaggerated, providing
and story told by Mrs. Pollard is true.
She claimed no relation to the family
and stated that she had not visited
Priceburg for some time and that the
relatives who did call on her on sun
day last We're in no way connected
with the family who have contracted
the disease. The local board of health
are investigating the affair more fully
and are prepared to act if the case
warrants further procedure.

HoNEsDALE "P1PEo STORY.
Excitement Over Cost of Hull Trial
Leads to Pitiful Exaggeration.

Harken to this Honesdale pipe"
story in the latest issue OF the Wayne
Independent:
"The cost OF the Hull trial to Wayne
county so far amounts to $1,901.29, be-
sides indirect costs of which there is no
basis for an estimate. In addition to
this, II. j. Neary, a Carbondale con-
stable, has presented bill of nearly
$1,000 for detective services. He asks
$3.50 per day from the date of the find
ing of Sehoonover's body till the trial,
and at the same time he received pay
for serving subpoenas, covering a por-
ton of the same time. For this alleged
service no benefit was derived, as he
furnished no material evidence for the
trial Lackawanna county individuals
are well schooled in the art of making
bills of costs for taxpayers to liquid
ate"
There is so much falsity in these
characteristic Honesdale newspaper
ramblings, that the easiest way to dis
pose of 1t is to say that the man re-
sponsible for them was either "kidded"
by the persons who gave him the infor-
nation, or he has made such willful
eXaggeration of facts that he owes an
apology as long as his arm to Constable
Edward Neary
The fact is that Constable Neary has
sent in no bill for thousand dollars
He has sent in bill for $40, which Is
but meagre compensation for his SER
vices, as compared with the fees which
are usually paid in such cases, ana
such as were paid by the county of
Wayne, ITSELF when it had Pinkerton
detectives doing nothing but shadowng
everybody against whom there was
suspicion in connection with the escape
of McCabe, who was executed for MUIR
der Constable Neary was engaged by
the district attorney to collect evidence
in the Hull case, and has papers in his
possession to this effect. His suit to
secure what his labors in the Hull case
earned will be only one of a half-dozen
or more that will be instituted by Car
who We're denied the fun
share Of fees that, as witnesses, they
were entitled to under the law.
