FINDS A RICH MINE
Kicks in an Old Door and Be.
holds Astonishing Sight.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 9.-In the
famous old Peck mine, behind locked
and rotting door, has been found
bonanza vein of silver ore, plainly hid
den by it's finders, and who may have
been killed by Apaches, their secret
dying with them.
The Peck was about twenty-five
years ago considered the richest mine
In Arizona. 1t has been known since
the first coming of the Americans and
had produced more than $3.000,000 in
silver. It's ore was marvellous, much
of it being almost pure silver.
About twenty years ago It's owners
supposed it had been worked out, and
since then it has been worked only by
lessees, who have hunted for knife
blade seams that led off from the main
ore body. The latest lessee, G. E.
Eagan, son of eX-Commissary Gen.
c. z. Eagan has been cleaning out
some of the old levels. In drift, long
abandoned, he cleared away a great
cave-in of earth, uncovering heavy
pine door only $50 feet from the main
shaft. The paddock was still in place,
but only kick was necessary to break
down the rotten timbers.
On account of the foul air it was i'm
possible to penetrate farther for sew
eral days. Then, on the face of the
drift, was found an eight Inch vein,
carrying 1000 ounces to the ton in sill
yer. This ore will be sacked and
shipped. Many old time miners of the
Peck are still in the vicinity, but none
Of them knew more than that particu-
lar drift had caved in many years ago.
They had never heard of the door.

REWARDS KIND ACT
Man Once Tried for Murder Re.
members His Rescuer.

WINDSOR, Ont, Nov. 9.-Joseph
Aubin, keeper of small hotel In the
village Of McGregor, a few miles from
here, awoke yesterday morning to find
himself comparatively wealthy because
of kindness he had done his half
brother, Jaques GAIA, when both were
residing in Montreal few years ago.
GAIA was In Jail charged with the
murder of a friend and because Of the
strong circumstantial evidence against
him and also because he was without
funds with which to fight for his. life
in the courts, he was sentenced to be
hanged. Aubin had saved $1,000 by
hard work. With the money he expect
ed to marry, but instead he placed the
entire amount at the half-brother's dis
posal. Eminent counsel was secured
and a new trial for GAIA was granted.
After fight against tremendous odds
GAIA was acquitted.
Discouraged and refused employment
in his native city, GAIA drifted to Chill
and in a few years prospered exceed
ingly. He did not forget Aubin's kind
ness, and a letter which reached the
latter yesterday contained draft for
$4,000, payable to Aubin's order, and q
promise of more.
GAIA writes that he is rated as a
millionaire in his adopted country, ana
as he Is unmarried purposes making
Aubin his sole heir.

WILL SCRAMBLE
FOR GOOD LANDS
Only a Moderate Rush Is Ex-
pected at the Red Lake Res
evation Opening Today.

Special to The Globe.
CROOKSTON, Mimi, Nov. 9.-To-
morrow at o'clock there will be a
scramble for entries on land in the
Red Lake reservation, which the gen.
eral land Office is throwing open to set
tlement. There is approximately 450,-
600 acres which can be filed at the local
land office in blocks of 100 acres. This
will make it possible for 2,S38 people to
secure 160-acre farms, but as very
large percentage of the land is swampy
and worthless until drained, the rush
will be for the exceptional quarters,
which will make 200 farming lands.
Practically all of these quarters have
been settled for from five to eight
years. On many of them there are two
squatters, and it is in such instances
that the competition will be fierce. For
instance, this evening there were two
men in the United States land office
at one time who had squatted in the
same quarter section of the land, one
five years ago and the other six years
ago. They were ready for a fight to
finish to gain possession of the land.
There are scores of such instances. The
local land office officials do not antici-
pate very heavy rush of business.
Register Pearsons said this evening:
Il do not look for a big rush. There
will probably be $50 men in line
tomorrow morning. We will probably
receive from 100 to 200 papers for entry
from the United States commissioners
tomorrow evening. They will come from
Thief River Falls, Bagley, ETC., points
within mailing distance. They will con-
tinue to come in during the entire
week from commissioners all over the
northern part of the state. The clause
requiring homesteaders to see the land
before they make entry is largely re-
sponsible for this. They go to look at
the lands and will file with the nearest
commissioner l do not think that the
rush will be extraordinary, although.
it will be lively for a while in the
morning"
There will be no lineup, tomorrow
morning, according to Dam sMcKinnon,
the owner of the Palace block, in
which the land office is situated Early
this morning an attempt was made to
get line started, there being a num-
ber of men stretched out on the floor
in front Of the land office door when
morning came. Mr.. McKinnon per-
Suaded them all to leave the building
except one man, and the police were
called to get rid of him. Another at
tempt was made at a line this morn
ing, but the police stopped it. The cor
ridors Of the building are thronged with
men and women, mostly the sterner sex,
who are getting their papers in shape
to locate, and office attorneys, ali of
whom are doing rushing business to-
night.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. s.-The
name Of Charles A. Towne, formerly OF
Minnesota, but now of New York, was
prominently mentioned in Washington
today In connection with the nominal
ton for the successor in congress of
George B. Mcclellan, who was elected
mayor of New York last week. Demo-
Gratis who talked about the matter to-
day expressed the opinion that the
nomination of Mr.. Towne by Tammany
Hall would be significant as indicating
that the organization is willing to take
an important step toward harmonizing
the differences in the party.
No one here appears to know whether
Mr. Towne would accept the nomina-
tion, but it is believed he would not
decline it. The nomination, however,
is one that will hardly go begging.
