was quite successful, taking out consid-
erable gold, and finally selling his inter-
ests there for $5.O00.00. He came back
three times to hunt for the lost mine.
Once IN 1875, once in 1878, and again in
1880, but each time without success. The
last time in 1880 he came down from
Deadwood and brought a German pros
pector with him by the name of Stock,
and camped on the ranch Of j. Mullen.
This is the same ground now occupied
and owned by Mr.. Mike Mallon, situat-
ed about six miles east Of Custer on
French creek. At this time Gay invited
Demereau to help him hont for his lost
mine for an interest in it, which was ac-
cepted, and Demereau went down in the
evening and slept in thstent. This was
the first time he haS Ryited or even
permitted any on W 1h him and
even at this time I'd on his
proposition for whey v q % ak en-
ed in the morning he Nki6EI had
arisen and gone off witho5t hl1n, litter
breakfast Demeresu says, eRted out
and followed him, which 1 codld easily
do as there was little snow on the
ground, Git was in November) and his
tracks were plain. discourse was across
the mountains nearly due east to the
Hasstodt springs, from there he follow
ed the trail which is now the Buffalo Gap
wagon road, untfl it reached the fat on
the Hill beyond and there he had turned
off to the north towards French creek.
This would be about mile below where
Durst's saw mill now stands. / did not
follow him any further but returned to
camp. Gay came back in the evening
and apoligized for going away and leav-
ing me, but said he had made up his
mind that it was better that we hunt
separately, and this we did for about
two Weeks, when l gave IT up. 1 came
onto him several times however, while
we were hunting separately, and each
time in different localities, far distant
from each other, and / came to the con-
clusion that he did not know any more
aboat where he found that gold than the
man in the moon, and that he had given
it up, and was trying to find something
else. He described the mine to me as
small vein of reddish quartz, about sig
inches wide at the surface, and that it
cropped out plainly above the ground
for quite distance"
MI. ID. describes AL Gay as quite a
large man whose probable weight would
not be much less than 200 pounds, that
he was always pleasant and agreeable in
camp, but that he was quite heavy
drinker when be was around where
liquor was to be found. He thought his
drinking had to considerable extent
impaired his memory, which was the
main reason why he cousi not recollect
where he had once fbunf, wEas is now
called the celebrated lost AL Gay mine.
1t was in 1880 that Gay left the Hills
and went to Montana, where he lost his
life by being burned up while asleep in
his cabin.

MINING DEAL CLOSED.
DR.. Rate received telegram from c.
j. Sine informing him that the Ivanhoe
deal had been closed with indianapolis,
Ind, parties. This property consists of
IL claims, and the following we'll known
claims are in the deal: Chilcoot, Ivan
hoe, Detroit and Bell Weather groups.
The property lies south of Keystone,
and is considered one of the largest bod
les Of ore in the southern Hills. Now
new hoist and air compressor will be
purchased Immediately and placed on
the Detroit aud 500 feet sunk Just as soon
as it can be done. There is now on the
dump so tons of ore that goes $500 per
ton in gold. Several parties in Key
stone retain an interest in the property
among whom are DIR. Rate, C. j. Sine,
Jas. Dorman, DR.. Smith, w. w. Challis
and Alex. Madill, who will assist in de-
veloping the property. Great credit is
due DR.. Rate as it was he who had the
deal in charge with the eartern men.

TWO CAR LOADS TO BE SHIPPED.
Mr.. ]. N. Wright and sons are ship
ping two car loads of ore to Denver for
test on a commercial scale, by the diff
ferent methods of treating refractory
ores. One of these car loads will be
taken from the London, minnie May,
and the other from the "Oriole" near
Hill City. Two tons will also be sent
from the Sunbeam in Friday gulch. We
are glad to see this, little money spent
in making test of our ores, We believe
is the most profitable money a man can
spend at this time: We only fear that
the tests will not be carried far enough
to demonstrate positively what our ore
contains. We hope they will not stop
short of giving it a preliminary retort
roast with an outlet tube leading off into
a jar of water and then analize the wa
ter. The pulp after roasting may be
treated by cyanide, chlorination or even
amalgamation by grinding in a morta,
with quick silver. A test short of this
may be satisfactory to some but it would
not be to us, who have tried all the diff
ferent methods and found this the most
profitable of all. IF man wants to
know what his ore contains, and he
must know this to know what he il
about, there is no other method that will
enable Him to be sure, When he is deal
ing with refractory mineral. The appli
cation of this method is new, but it is not
expensive, and we claim that it is abso
lutely necessary. Such has been the ex
perience of the writer.

POOR WHITES HELD.
Negroes Are Not the Only Victims
of Peonage In Alabama.
At Troy. Ala. q Rich Turpentine Operator
IL Being Prosecuted for Keeping In
Slavery White Man and HIS
Ten Children.

Troy, Ala, Sept. 1.-The evidence
In the case Of the United States against
Marion Priesthood, wealthy planter
and turpentine operator. which was
heard before Federal Commissioner
Tutwiler, shows that poor whites as
well as negroes are being held in
slavery in Alabama. Priesthood was
charged with holding Robert English.
white man, and his family of ten
children in peonage. The evidence
showed that Priesthood made con-
tract with English in 1902 by which
the former was to furnish the English
family with rations in consideration
Of the latter working 60 acres on
shares. When the crop was made
Priesthood ceased to furnish rations
and seized the crop.
When the English family tried to Sc
cure work to save themselves from
starving Priesthood had the old man
and six boys arrested, accusing them
Of burning turpentine boxes valued at
$40. This charge, Priesthood admitted
to Commissioner Tutwiler, was ground
less. After the arrest Priesthood told
the men that as he controlled the mag
istrate he could send them to the peni-
tertiary, but he said that If the family
would sign contract to work for him
until 1905, to repay the SAC, he would
furnish them what they had to eat.
The father and his sons being fright
ened signed the contract, and have
since been at work for Priesthood.
The Englishs swore that they never
had enough to eat and their looks
sustained the statement. They were
sallow-faced, hollow-eyed and their
lips as white as their shirts. Prest-
wood was placed under heavy bond. ;
He is worth 100000.
Federal officers say that poor whites
are being held as poems in a number
of counties.
