ONE LOST MINE IS FOUND.
Gold Producer. Stopped by Indians in
1877 Rediscovered.

A real lost mine which has been the
will-o they isp of miners since the
Indian uprising near Gran"erville.
WASH. in 1877 was located by Hank
Humiston, miner who has spent
many weary months and has Travelled
hundreds of miles up and down the
Salmon river in search of the spot.
His find is q dixie a hundred feet wide
which runs high in values. 1t is com
posed of gravel and tale. which pre-
liminary tests show to contain gold in
paying quantities.
The loss of the mine reads like Il
romance Grif' Roberts found it in
1877, and none but himself and few
boon companions knew of its location.
Then came the uprising. and the ma
jority of the white miners and settlers
were slaughtered. Roberts escaped up
Slate creek and carried a white woman
with him. While 1t was believed he
escaped. he never returned. and his
mine was not again located until HUI
mission made his strike.

The question is then repeated to the
second player. who is very likely to
offer pie. pork. pepper or something
which contains the letter "p." His Of

simply told that his contribution is
not wanted and he looks on while the
others play. When a sufficient num-
Der have dropped out the secret is told.

The Led Parcil.

Few people are anap of tt" dill
cuties that were surmounted in the
manufacture of the common lead pen
Gil. In the frs! place. the graphite of
which it is made is rarely found sufii-
GENTLY homogeneous to allow pencil
lead to be cut from it. so it is always
ground to powder and then pressed
into blocks. The great difficulty was
to press the blocks until the graphite
was hard enough to use. and for many
years every effort in this direction was
defeated by the crumbly nature of the
material. Finally a device was en-
ployed that exhausted the air. after
which the blocks were again pressed,
and when this was done the material
was found to be as hard as when taken
from the quarry. But thousands upon

that threatens the conrerees Is the
question of time when the statehood

STEAMER AGROUND
NEAR DUTCH CAP
Redner Rock, Bound Here for
Cargo of Lumber Encounters
Obstruction and is Halted.

Word has been received here that
the steamer Redner Rock, is fast
aground in James River near Dutch
Gap. When the steamer grounded has
not been foundt out but re.-Srts from
there Friday say that she seems to be
there for some time.
The Redner Rock was bound from
Norfolk to Richmond to take on a car
go of lumber for Nova Scotia. The
lumber belongs to Winston, Miller and
Company, of Norfolk, and Mr.. j. G.
Reeves. OF Nova Scotia has been in
Richmond for several days awaiting
the arrival OF the steamer to oversee
the loading.
Mr.. Reeves says that the steamer
was TO take on about 100000 feet of
lumber and npre in Norfolk after TAX
ing the cargo here.
Since the steamer is light at this
time the fact that she has grounded
has caused considerable surprise. II
is thought however that she may have
been damned by n number Of railroad
ties drifting from the yards OF the
Southern Railroad on the Chesterfield
county side OF the river.
Several tugs have been dispatched to
the scene in order to get the steamer
afioat before they river receeds and
leaves her high on the obstruction.
