piabolicaI Plot Uncovered by the
Admiralty Of England Which
Averted a Great Sea
Disaster
TWO SHIPS MARKED
II is believed that Anarchists are Re-
sponsible for the Attempt to
Wreck the Two
Boats.

sHEERNESs, England, Aug. IA
Despite the Admiraltys attempt of
suppression it is learned that terrible
naval disaster was narrowly averted
by the discovery of dynamite cart
ridges mixed in the coal in the bunk
ers of the battleships Lord Nelson and
Victorious which were coaling here
preparatory to join the fleet. the re-
suit was that all coal is removed and
is being examined. The commanding
officers refuse to reveal the amount
found, claiming the belief that the
dynamite was mixed accidentally at
the mines. Despite denials there is
the highest authority for the state
ment that the Admiralty fears it was
an anarchist plot. A secret inquirs
is progressing.

The cartoonist's Sting.

Signs and symbols seem to be just
as effective now as in the early days
of our race, when the primitive alb
original chiseled in picture language
the record of his doings. There are
still enough undeveloped minds among
us to give pictures more force than
printed words, and the whiplash on
the end of the cartoonist's facile pen
ell more and more frequently raises
welts where the editorial and spread"
headline cannot sting the thick hide.

Like all Of the great camps, this
one was discovered by mere accident.
II is the same old, old story of pros
pectors for years walking over the
hidden metal. Many a miner has
climbed the rugged mountainside and
set his pick into the rock. But not
until few months ago. when H. II.
Childs, with companion, was hunt
ing for bear in the dense forests that
abound in that western slope country.
was the find made that promises to
give Colorado and the mining world
another camp that may mean the pro-
duction of millions of dollars in the
yellow metal.
A ledge, almost perpendicular,
stands towering 500 or 700 feet in
the air. bare and commanding. At
the base of this cliff, where man can
scarcely gain a foothold, Childs one
day slipped and fell. His gun struck
a small boulder and turned it over.
Chtlds' trained eye at once detected
the color. He examined the rock and
found that it contained gold. He at
once staked of the claim and set
about to locate the vein.
Following indications, he discov-
cred that the vein ran up the side
of the great clif, and that vein 6
feet wide showed on the surface.
Assays from samples gave him re-
turns of from $50 to 500 a ton
His fortune had been made If he
could but induce someone to go in
with him to make the development
Te find had been kept a secret as long
as possible; but when Childs sold an
interest to l.. V. Brodfish, mining
representative of the Western Invest
ment Company of Victor. and that
company began work. the fame of
the new camp soon began to spread.
and today hundreds of miners are
docking to the field.
Brodish has caused tunnel to be
run under the cliff on the veinta dis
