Indians Odd Fate Starts
Stampede For Rich
Secret Mine.

SPOKANE, Wash Sept 29.-Strangled
TO death by a chain Of solid gold the
product OF his own mine, when he slip

of Dick Sampson, a Nez Perez Indian,
has resulted In a gold stampede on the
reservation occupied by his tribe near
Lewiston, Idaho, and among mining
men The chain was twenty-fouT inches
long. made by hand by Sampson, of
pure gold mined from a secret deposit
in the mountains, in which Sampson
had made his home. Twice each year
for more than twenty-five years, Samp-
son had been known to ride into Lewis
ton with a bag of gold nuggets and eX-
change the precious metal for &1O00 20
s.. 600. He never gave those who inqulr-
ed the source of the gold any salts

be iueXhaustble. 1t was manifest he
had hammered the quartz To pieces and
extracted the gold by a crude and
laboTiOus process.
Greedy white men and redskins as
well have spent days trailing Sampson.
but the Indian was too cunning 10 be
trapped. and they were never able to
detect him In the act OF visiting his
mine. II was apparent he knew OF a
mine OF fabulous richness somewhere,
and visited il only for the purpose Of
getting enough gold TO supply himself
with liquor and tobacco.
Following his death many stories
were told, but, according 10 an old
squaW who is said TO have been his
wife before he became a reCluse, his
father told Sampson Of the secret gold
mine when he died Sampson having
been about forty years old al the time
= he dying injunction was that he never
betray its location to a white man. and
tell il only to one Indian. at the time
of his death. The suddenness of the
batter precluded this, and the mine may
never be found.
