entsrpr.ins Nine Promoter Killed.

Francis l.. Burton, one of the
oddest characters among promoters.
was killed a few days ago by an
editor in Nevada. The! editor had
said that Burton should be run out
of the state. Burton took him to
task for the mild assertion. They
quarreled Burton was shot and
killed. Burton a few years ago was
4 mining promoter at Idaho Springs,
where he succeeded in sinking about
$50. 900 Cor some Boston people. At
this time he found it necessary to
make a business trip to the east.
Before leaving Denver he got drunk.
got into = fight and was bruised up
almost beyond recognition. But
the trip East had to be made and
Burton's friends placed him aboard
a Pullman car on the Rock Island
and started him on the way. On
the journey the train got into bad
wreck, some Of the coaches being
demolished and several people were
badly injured. Burton, with the
proverbial luck of a drunk"
escaped even scratch. but his ap-
pearance was that of a man who had
been run through a buncasRf lumber
saws, and by the time the claim
agent of the road arrived at the
scene Of the wreck to make investi-
cations he was sober enough to look
in the glass and wink at himself.
When the agent reached him he
closed his eyes and groaned. The
agent looked at his battered appear
ance and asked what he would take
to settle. In the negotiations which
followed Burton was offered and
accepted check for $500 in settle
ment Of damages for his injuries.
This incident would perhaps have
passed out of memory but for the
fact that. in his cups, Burton related
it as joke and the road officials
getting hold of it. he was arrested.
tried, convicted and sent to the pen
for five years. While in the Mas
sachusetts penitentiary Burton was
publicly credited with selling the
warden and other prison officials
ST 600 worth Of mining stock. He
was released on parole. broke his
parole and went to Idaho, where he
has been accused of promoting ques-
tionable mining schemes.
One of the good qualities of Bur-
ton, always alluded to by those who
knew him well, was his tenderness
and care for his wife, who for years
was hopeless invalid. He gave her
every care and whenever possible,
took her with him on his trips. =

 "'Do you mean they can't cross our claim if we say they can't?
 "'Sure thing" says Aggy. There's you and me and the law to say 'No' to that, I wish I had a gum
 "'You don't need any gun for that skunk of a driver
 "'Of course not, but there'll be pas sengers, and there's no telling how ex- cited them passengers will be when they find they've got to go over the hills ford hunting.'
 "'Are you going to send 'em all around, Ag?
 "The whole bunch. Anybody con- ing back from the diggings has gold in his clothes, so it won't hurt 'em none, and l propose to give that stage line an advertising that won't do it bit of good. Come along, Red. Let's see that lad that has the shack up the river. We need something to eat, and maybe he's got a gun. If he's decent feller, we'll let him in on a claim. Never mind about the hole It won't run away, and there's nobody to touch anything. Come On.'
 "So we went up the river. The mans name was White and he was a white man by nature too. He fed us well and was just as hot as us when we told him about the stage drivers trick. Then we told him about the find and let him in.
 "'Now,' says Agsy, have you got a gun?
 "I have that says the man. My dad used to be duck hunter on Ches- apeake bay. When you say gun" I'll show you gun. He dove in under his bunk and fetched out what I should say was No. 1 bore shotgun, with barrels six foot long

 "'Day after tomorrow, about noon'
 "That gives us lots of time to stake and to salt claims that can't show cause their own selves,' says Aggy. I think we're all right
 "The next day we worked like the old Harry. We had everything fixed up right by nightfall, and there was nothing to do but dig and wait. Curious folks we all are, ain't we? should have said my own self that if I'd found gold by the bucketful, I'd be more interested in that than I would be in getting even with a nut that had done me dirt, but it wasn't so.

 80 I looked at Az, and Az looked at me, neither one of us believing anything at all for awhile. I simply couldn't get hold of the thing-I ain't yet, for that matter. I expect to wake ID and find it a pipe dream, and in some ways I wouldn't mind if it was. 1 never was so completely two men as I was on that occasion. One of 'em was hopping around and hOllering with Az, yelling Hooray" and the other didn't take much interest in the proceedings at all. And it wasn't until I thought, Now I can pay that cuss- ed coyote of a stage driver what I owe him" that I got any good out of it. That brought it home to me. When l spoke to Az about paying the driver, he says, That so.' Then he takes quick look around. We can pay him in full, too, old horse! he hollers. and there was a most joyful smile on his face

"There was stretch of about mile on the level before us. When the stage come in plain sight Aggy proceeds to load up Old Moral Suasion,' as he called her, so that the folks could see there was no attempt at deception. They come pretty fairly slow after that At fifty yards, Az hollers Halt" The team sat right down on their tails.
 Now, MT. Snick'umfritz,' says Ag- gy, you that drives, mean, come here and read this little sign
 Suppose I don't?' says the feller, trying to be smart before the passen- gers.
 "It's a horrible supposition,' says Aggy, and the innocent will have to suffer with the guilty Then he cocks the gun.
 "God sakes! Don't shoot!' yells one of the passengers. Man, you ought to have more sense than to try and pick him out of a crowd with a shotgun! Get down there, you fool, and make it quickv
 ''So the driver walked our way and read. He never said a word I reck- on he realized it was the only ford for 4,O00 miles, more or less, as Aggy had remarked. There he stood, with his mouth and eyes wide open.
 "T'd like to have you other gentle men come up and see our first cleanup, so you won't think we're running in windy says Aggy. They wanted to see bad, as you can imagine, and when they did see about fifteen pounds of gold in the bottom of my old hat they talked like people that hadn't had Christian bringing up.
 "'Oh, Lord" groans one man. Brig. ham Young and all the prophets of the Mormon religion! This is my tenth trip over this line, and me and Pete Hendricks played a game of seven up right on the spot where that gent hit her not over a month ago, when the stage broke down!

Around you gov he hollers, tanning the end of Moral Suasion into the driv- CTS trap. oh, and won't you go round, thought says he. Listen to me, now: if any one of your ancestors for twenty-four generations had ever done anything as decent as robbing a hencoop it would have conferred a kind of degree of nobility upon him. It wouldn't be possible to find an ornrier cuss than you if man raked all he'll with fine toothed comb. Now, you stare coated, mangy, bandy legged, misbegotten, outlaw coyote, fy-fyv whoops Aggy, jumping four foot in the air, before I squirt enough lead into your system to make it paying job to melt you downr t~
 "The stage driver acted according to orders. Three wide steps and he was in the wagon, and with one screech like p'izened bobcat he fairly lifted the cayuses over the first ridge. No body never saw him any more, and mo- body wanted to.

Greene in the mountains back from San Jose station. They went there to examine the prospect ana report upon it. Determination of the value of the find can only be reached through actual prospecting. The ledge which shows is in the bottom of an arroyo and has been exposed to the surface through washing done by wa ter in the arroyo during the recent months. In quality the coal is bitu- minous and in some respects ap- breaches near on the surface to cok- ing quality. The ledge as exposed stands at sharp angle, which Is a condition not generally found in con- nection with coal bodies in the west Examination of the locality disclosed that the ledge was undoubtedly in place and also disclosed much coal blossom about the hills and surround ing country. It is not probable that prospecting will be taken up actively lon the ground until Col Greene has opportunity to give the matter his per sonal consideration, which will proba- Ibly be on the occasion of his next visit to the city.
