JEssUP SCENE OF GOOD STRIKE


JESSUP. April 11.-Jessup was to-
day the scene of the uncovering of
another high grade vein carrying
free gold, the rock being sprinkled
through with the yellow metal. This
latest strike was made on one of the
leases on the King Solomon claim,
owned by Murray 4 Jessup. On this
claim there are at present three
leases and at two places on the claim
the rich high grade has been struck.
The strike of April was made on
the lease owned by j. X. Hubbard,
W. w. Henry, +. 4. Morrison and II.
l.. Bartlett. 1t is known as the Hub
bard Morrison lease, and is situated
on the east end of the King Solomon
claim, about zoe feet from the point
at which Murray 4 Jessup made the
first high grade discovery about two
months ago. The discovery on the
Hubbard Morrison lease was made in
the afternoon and as il became ncised
about interested spectators fockCd TO
the lease eager To see the gold that
glittered in the rock. The leasers
were generous and allowed many
people TO take samples showing the
gold.
This collection of specimens by the
visitors continued to such an extent
that il was fnaliy necessary to stop
il to enable the work L; progress
without interference. The gold rock
was encountered AT a depth of only
two feet from The surface ANA ii may
be only coincidence but II is Singh
lar that the high grade streak was
four inches at the beginning-exaet.-
ly the same width as was the free
gold vein on the Hopkins ledge when
first found at a depth of aobut four
feet. The strike on the Hopkins
ledge is about | ,000 to 1900 feet
from the Hubbard Morrison strike.
The high grade vein ON the Hop
kins has widened TO ii inches at
depth of aobut II feet and likewise
every stroke of the pick shows
widening of the Hubbard Morrison
strike. The Hubbard-Morrison lease
was the first lease made in the camp
and their strike is one of the three
or four really important strikes that
have been made in the last 10 days.
Every day brings new inspiration
and buoyancy to the miners in the
camp ard develops some new turn in
values. Gold may be PANIED quite
freely ever a radius of ground about
four miles wide by 10 miles long and
prospecting is being vigorously car
ried on all over this region. Every
day brings fresh bunch of people
into the camp and enthusiasm is in
the very atmosphere. A party OF cap
italists has come all the way from
milwaukee to consummate a deal in
the camp with Mackedon and his as
sociates, Croughan and Cheney.
The party consists of f. A. Lange. T.
. Griebel md James A. Schunk, all
of Milwaukee.

Mark rwaln.s counsry IIoms.


Mark Twain is now living In his
new italian villa near Branchville,
Conn. He moved in with his household
on June II, before it was entirely com
pleted.
The exterior finish Is stucco, and al
though simple in decoration, Is very
artistic and pleasing to the eye. On
the west end Is a very cool and at
tractive loggia, paved with large red
tiles. Set in the wallis between the
arches are little ovais containing pref
ty italian landscapes, which give a
delightful touch Of color to the scheme
AT the extreme eastern end of the
ground floor, connected with the loggia
by a long hall is the billiard room. A
large light room in which the humor
list will no doubt spend great deal of
his time.
A series of artistlcally arranged ter
races slope away from the north end
lead to a pretty pergola being con-.
structed about 100 wards from the
door. The grounds are wild, and will
be left in their natural state.

took advantage of the shooting in front
OF the store and forcing his way out
through one of the rear windows, he
was soon lost in the inky blackness
OF the night.
w w. King the proprietor, recently
had his store equipped with a burglar
alarm system and about II o'clock
last night he was awakened by the
clang Of the alarm, which is connected
with his residence by electric wires.
He dressed hastily and aroused the
town. going from house to house and
making as little noise and conmotion
as possible. He soon had Constable Ed
Hill and the following citizens awake
and armed: G. M Thompson, Frank
Rice, Jack Ralson and John Diebold
Together with Mr. King the posse sur-
rounced the store and Quietly awaited
for the robbers to emerge.
They waited for almost two hours
when one Of the rossa becoming rest

aflse. alarm or that the thieves, IL
there had been any had made their
escape, made a noise which put the
robbers on their guard and about 3
o'clock, the door OF the building sud-
denly burst open and with a fusila lie
Of revolver shots, from brace OF re-
reaters, which the man held in sacfs
hand, one of the robbers made a dar-
Ing dash for lt,erty The rush raj
been So entirely unexpected thai IL
caught the citizens momentarily OF
their guard and the robber made his
escape but not, however, until one OF
the citizens who was armed with
repeating shot gun had fired several
shots at the fleeing fugitive and IL is
fully believed that one of these shots
took effect In the mans back as he
was seen to stagger while running.
The night was very dark and the
man lodged into. some bushes and
made good his escape.
In the meantime the other fobber
had climbed out of the window at the
rear OF the store and while the at
tention OF the citizens was attracted
by the daring dash OF his partner he
also made good his escape.
An investigation showed that the
man had a key fitted to the lock to
the store and in some unarcountable
manner they had simply unlocked the
front door and walked in The ala

two large bundles Of valuable mer-
chandise all tied up and ready to car.
ry away. The bundles contained sew.
eral hundred dollars worth OF goods.
Chief Gabriel Grant and Sheriff w,
II, Hunt Of Fargo have both been no
tined OF the robbery and they are
are on the outlook for suspects
Aside from the fact that one of the
men is believed to be wounded In the
back with small shot no description
could be secured of the robbers owing
to the extreme darkness.
