Peace Outlook Desperate,

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 25.-The
prospects of peace seem desperate, but
they are not hopeless. despite the pre-
vailing pes.imism. There is still a
chance. and the forces working for
peace are continuing their labors. The
President failed twice, but he is fight
Ing on. The result of Ambassador
Meyers audience at Peterhof was un.
satisfactory, but at least it was not a
rebuff. 1t left the door open, and
within few hours after the receipt at
Oyster Bay of Mr.. Meyers account OF
his audience, the President had sent a
new appeal through M. Witte.
The emperor had already in effect
declined the proposed compromise of.
fered by Japan. He had refused 1t be.
cause, under disguise. Japan offered
to withdraw an article asking remun-
Grafton for the cost of the war on con-
dition that Russia re-purchase from
Japan the northern part of Saghalien
at a fixed price of 100000. 900 yen
the estimated 'frias de guerre" Every,
message received from Peterhof In.
'cluding those that came early to-day,
was inAexible upon that point.

Walter seott's Treasure House.

A dispatch from Goldfield. Nevada.
under date of August 27th, gives an ac-
count of the alleged discovery of the
location of the claim of Walter Scott,
whose sensational railroad record
breaking trip to the East attracted so
much attention recently. 1t says:
I'm a rock-ribbed chasm surrounded
on every side save one by precipitous
walls at the extreme southern end of
the Funeral range, which skirts on the
East Death valley. is located the mys-
terious Walter Scott's treasure vault.
By the merest accident the location of
Scott's rich mine was discovered.
Suffering from thirst and nearly ex-
hausted. w. T. Miles wandered to the
spot where Scotty holds forth when in
his desert retreat. His home is a
cave in the rocks. The apartment and
furnishings consist of desk, two easy
chairs, bed. dresser and bath tub. Near
by is a spring Of water.
Here Scott keeps on hand food and
numerous cases of champagne. His
treasure vault lies short distance fur
ther up the chasm. That the place is
Scotty's is proved by the presence OF
numerous location notices posted on
the ground and bearing his name.
Scotty did everything possible to OBJ
literate the trail to his mine. In one
place he Travelled over one-half mile in
covering only few yards, piling up
large boulders in the trail after him.
miles reached Bullfrog this morn
ing and reported the discovery. Like
wild fire the news spread over the
Bullfrog district. Immediately STAN
pede began. Hundreds outfitted and
mad rush is now in progress to the
locality. 1t is estimated within sew
enty-two hours the entire country for
miles about will be staked out. Scotty
may lose his mine unless he has it Sc
curely located"

Gold Strike in Wyoming.

A Thermopolis, Wyoming, dispatch
says: There is much excitement here
over rich gold find which has been
made by ex-SheriE Dud Hale in the
Copper Mountain district. 1t is much
richer than the Williams find of two
weeks ago, which created so much ex-
citement, and larger vein Is shown.
Many samples of quartz are being ex-
hibited here, all fairly speckled with
lree gold. The ledge is from two to
eight feet in thickness, is free milling.
and some of the rock will run as high
as $1,70O to the ton.
The new find is about six miles north
of the copper mines being operated by
the Boysen Mining Company, and is
on a trail that has been travelled over
and prospected for the last thirty
years. The shares of the Wind River
Mining Company, for whom Hale was
prospecting, have been taken off the
market and cannot be bought at any
price.
Half the population of this city has
left for the scene of the find and will
stake claims as near as possible to It,.
Miners are focking from every direc-
tion, but great many of the claims
were taken up two weeks ago at the
time of the Williams find.

Platinum Near Ruena Vista.

Platinum in paying quantities has
been discovered near Buena VISTA.
says the Denver Republican correspon-
dent, August 9th. There can be no,
doubt OF the truth of this statement,
for letter from the United States
Geological Survey, addressed to vii.
liam G. Zeigler, who made the discov-
cry, informing him of the result of test
made on samples he had sent them,
was shown your correspondent to-
night.
In the sample submitted to the gov
ernment the chemist found:
Gold, 1.99 ounces per ton; platinum,
DAB ounces per ton.
He further states:
"This result of the finding of pIati-
mum In Colorado is of great interest
to us and we would be pleased to have
you send us large sample (from q
sackful to a carload. The values
found in same will be returned to you
without charge for concentration"
Mr.. Zeigler will make the large ship
ment asked for by the department.
The find was made a week or ten
days ago and was not made public un-
til the receipt of the letter tonight.
The samples submitted were taken
from one of four claims located two
miles up the Arkansas river, a portion
OF them coming from what is known as
the Behrman placer, owned by A. Z.
Behrman of this city.
Platinum is worth more per ounce
Platinum is worth much more per
ounce than gold and it is stated upon
excellent authority, which is borne out
by the letter, portion of which -
quoted, that it will be produced in such
quantities in this district as to draw
the attention of the world to this To-
cality.

Holy Cross Forest Reserve.

Washington. Aug. 2S.-The President
has signed proclamation creating
the Holy Cross forest reserve in Colo
RADIO, with an area Of approximately
100000 acres. This reserve adjoins the
Lewisville and Gunnison reserves, and
covers the headwaters of the Grand
river. for the protection of whose flow
the forest is immensely valuable.
This area was examined and mapped
last summer by an agent of the forest
service. His report showed that in
order to supply the timber needs of
the miners in the region it was neces-
sary to create a reserve and get 1t un-
der administration as soon as possible.
Forest Inspector Smith Riley OF the
forestry service has been instructed by
telegraph to take charge and will prob
ably establish headquarters at Glen
wood Springs. An application for the
purchase of $1,000 worth Of timber re-
ceived by the forest service before the
proclamation was signed has been re.
ferred to Riley for immediate action.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
Breaking Up High Graders.

In recent interview Judge H. Nc
Garry, a mine operator and attorney
who has been prominently connected
with the mine owners association,
gives the following account Of the
trouble with high graders" or ore
thieves, in the Cripple Creek district:
I'm SO far as the mine owners are
concerned, the camp has never been
in such good shape as at the present
time. The greatest thing that has hap
pened is the breaking up of the high
graders, bands. Arrest after arrest
has been made among the miners and
the men who buy the ore.
For years the experiment was tried
of trying to catch the miners, but now
they are going after the men who buy
the ore. The experiment was tried Of
searching the men as they came from
the mines, but it did not work because
they would plant the rich specimens in
the workings. There was a sort of
agreement among the men who were
stealing and they could get in and out
of the mines when not on shift. Not
all of the miners were thieves or any
large per cent. of them, but it kept
them all under suspicion, and it was a
hard temptation for the man earning
So day to know that the fellow along
side of him was getting SIS or $40 by
