An I'm asination Robbery.

With bursting headache in the morn
ing the result of beautiful jag the
previous evening, well known citi
zen woke up broke last Sunday morn
ing. Searching his pockets he was un-
able to find trace of anything that re-
semDled coin of the realm, aud straight
away he consulted his imagination. The
latter was soon working over time, and
the man concoc,ed cock and bull
story of daring holdup whereby he
had been touched for eight aad half
piunks. He couldn't remember having
spent his entire wad.
The result was that he told the
authorities that he had been robbed, he
believed, by gang of boys, and named
several OF the suspects. The latter were
hailed before the authorities and
each and every one of them
proved an alibi at the time of the
alleged robbery. The parents and friend.
;ofstk accused young men were sore ovel
the matter and the end is not yet. No
body believes that he was q
victim of highwayman, and it is almost
certain that he squandered his simoleon.
for stimulants. Once before he had the
same hallucination about having been
touched for SIS, but when the officer
searched him the money was fonnd in
his pockets.

ENCOUNTER AVEIN
Rockford Bore Interoeets
Bi9 Ore Body Believed To
BE The Great Donaldson
Mother Lode. 1922 Feet
FROM Portal.

n OlK vein WAS encountered III Tue
breast of the Rockford tunnel on Tues
day of this week, accompanied by a
heavy how of water. The width Of the
vein has not been determined as the
foot wall has not yet been reached. The
ore carries iron and lead, and q sample
from q two foot streak of nearly solid
mineral, assayed yesterday, showed it to
carry values OF SIS. 60 per ton.
1t is almost certain that the vein is the
big Donaldson lode, although it was not
expected for at least 1870 feet yet. The
vein lies very fiat, and the hanging wall
was FIRST disclosed in the bottom of the
breast Pour rounds have since been
blasted, or about twenty five feet, but the
foot wall has not come in. Several large
samples Of the solid mineral were brought
to town yesterday, one of which will be
kept in Superintendent Nye's Office in
the Elliott block; one sent to the COM
pauy's Office in Rockford, H., and
another will go to the Denver Office Of
President Riedel.
A party consisting of Chas Newmeyer
and E. G. Reinert, of the Daily Mining
Record; o. L. Malo, and A. R Grever,
the latter a well known Denver stock
broker, came up yesterday morning to
inspect the new strike, in company with
Mr.. Riedel aud W. W. Kirby.
The ore bodies in the lower workings
of the Donaldson are immense, and it is
predicted by those familiar with the
mine that if the vein just encountered
in the Rockford should be the big lode,
. tremendous amount of ore will be dis
closed which will yield profits that will
make the cost of driving the tunnel an in
significant item.
The lateral being driven west on the
MagaIona vein from the Rockford tunnel
last Saturday encountered a splendid ore
stoo. a. distance of !. ,oo tcct, and
after Manager Nye had determined the
values in the ore by having large samples
assayed, he decided to close down the
work at that point until the ore bins
which are to be erected at the portal oi
tuc cOCAIoIu tuuueI, nave oSoh SohiPiS
ted, so the ore can be save1 for shipment.
The breast of the lateral is showing
about four feet of vein matter which re-
turns o.56 ounce gold and 2.5o ounces
silver, or a value of $I7 80 per ton, while
on the hanging wall there is a streak OF
one foot in width which gave assays OF
4.12 ounces gold and ounces silver. OF
a value of $S5 per ton. The latter is the
richest ore yet opened up in the lateral
and is cut at depth OF over 400 feet
below the apex of the vein.
The ore bins at the portal OF the tunnel
will not be completed for some weeks yet
because it is necessary to fill in that part
of the dump where the ore bins are being
erected. The bins will have large ca.
pac,ty and can be utilized as soon as they
are erected. The Magalona lateral has
passed through two we'll defined ore
shoots. carrying good grade of milling
ore, but it was necessary to throw the
material over the dump because of hav'
ing no convenient place to store the ore
