Mining. MoraIizinr and Men

Many are the rude and many the ten
der "reminiscences that cluster around
the city of Creole, capital Of Mineral
county, Colorado. To think that all these
should have become almost unbelievable
since her arid western climate has been
emphasized by the abolition of wet
goods" even from her mining camp. Yet
SO it Is, and there is a perfectly good lee
'ture waiting to be delivered sometime on
"The Evolution of Propriety in the Far
West" I was happy in talking to an an
Gent and wiry old Irish prospector, whose
claims cover half great mountain above
West Willow creek, and who has swung
away from the church of his fathers into
a most confident socialistic dogamtism.
He could tell me where Mr.. Creole picked
up the float that made him rich and
the place famous, and he knew in what
order that fortunate gentleman added
Amethyst" to Holy Moses" and what
volumes of silver flowed from his noun

bring away the memory of that near oc-

cosmologies in defiance of Moses but re-
ioicing in the expectation Of the coming
of the Prince of Peace an uneccleslastical
Christ, arbiter of fairness and brother

to dawn. For it seems to me that the old
man has struck spiritual gold in his queer
heretical way. love to recall his figure,
with stout wand of aspen, speeding up
steep places at an altitude of nearly 1900
feet, never at loss for breath to talk of

$4,000 in Gold Seized
on Spanish Steamer About
to Sail From a Gulf Port

A Gulf Port. September 15.-Cus-
toms officials today removed approx
mately $4,000 in gold coin from
Spanish steamer here. The seizure was
made few minutes before the vessel
was scheduled to depart. An investiga
ton is in progress.
The agent for the steamship COM
pany and certain members of the crew
of the vessel were questioned by fed
eral agents. who had not concluded
their investigation late tonight. 1t was
understood that the seizure and in
quiry was ordered to determine wheth-
err the shipment of gold was in vio-
lation of the Presidents recent proc
lamation in connection with such ex-
ports.
The steamship was to have sailed
for a Spanish port.

are the red trails OF their bleeding
hearts? All dried and blown away? All
washed out by melted snow? BY no
means.
I was much struck by the fact that
the most numerous gravestones, ex-
cepting those set up by fraternal orders
for their deceased members, were the
offerings of sorrowing parents to infant
children. How the heart protests against
the death of child especially a first
Child! And what monuments these sim
pie stones are, though buried half the
year in deep snow-what monuments to
the deathlessness of love! They preached
thus to me early one August Sunday
morning
Down in the gulch is the little city, and
its most prominent building is a stately
and sufficient little church, with steep
shingled roof and handsome tower, its
walls of solid red brick and it's win
dows of stained glass. This has emerged,
evolved by sacrifice, out of the tolls Of
years gone by, and is kind of mort
gage held by faith on the permanenoe
of the mining industry. 1t is a model
of its kind, pattern of what rural
churches should be, with elastic posi-
bilities, and the capacity to combine
hcmelikeness with certain chaste dig
nifty.
Therefore, I was the more pleased to
know that the threatened death of these
mining towns of Colorado has been
averted Partly by the rise in silver
values, partly byv the activity of large
capital for grouping the chief properties
in vast tunneling schemes. partly by
the encouragement this new life has
given to a. few new properties. the sill
yer mining of southwestern Colorado is
reviving. group of my old boys of
the Sunday school are fortunate in dis
covering and developing a fluor spar vein
at Wagon Wheel Gap, which is making
them rich and busy.
Generally speaking, however, the hey
day of the burro train the mule skinner,
the grubstake and the boom town is
probably gone, never to return; gone
with the tinhorn gambler and the "red
eye" and the "rotgut.' Even the
Canadian doctor who could not do with
out liquor has gone, and the lawyer,
whose dear old mother in 1.-The states''
used to pray for him with tears, the
while he drifted from one to another
of the 20 saloons I wonder whittier he
has gone! And his mother; has she
passed out of Gethsemane?

against the defendant. Gambrel de-
clared that Walker told him to steal
the liquor and showed him how to
get the liquor out of the basement
room.
The reason that Walker wanted the
liquor stolen, Gamhrel states, was be-
cause DR.. A. G. Ward. president of
the county board of revenue and road
commissioners, wanted him to have it
done to hurt Willie Holcombe in his
election. Holcombe is chief deputy
sheriff and a nephew of Sheriff Hol-
combe.
Gambrel. according to the written
confession, attempted to sell the liquor
at several places in Mobile and in one
instance was advised to keep out Of
the affair. as he had been the goat
for one man before.

$500 Each and Sentences
Them to Four Months
on the Roads

Mobile, September 15.-(Special)
After hearing from the lips of Frank
Gambrel, trusty employed in the fire
room of the county Jail. the story OF
his connection with the attempt to
rob the building of confiscated liquors,
and with the plea of guilty made by
Frank Lane, another prisoner, affirm .
ing that he was implicated equally in
the move, Judge Chamberlain, in the
inferior court today, imposed fines of
500 each and sentenced the men to
four months hard labor on the coun
ty roads, the heaviest penalties that
he could assess for the offense. Will
liam Walker, discharged engineer Of
the county building, where the liquor
was stored and who had charge of the
two TRUSTEES" entered a plea of not
guilty to a charge of breaking a lock
to the liquor room and demanded q
trial by jury. His bond was fixed at

UNBELIEVABLE CONDITION

In passing sentence upon Gambrel
and Lane. Judge Chamberlain stated
that it was almost unbelievable that
men could be around the c&unty Jail
in a drunken condition, as evidence re-
vealed that the two men had been,
without the knowledge of the Off
GERS under whose custody they were
held. Judge Chamberlain was particu-
larly vigorous in his arrangement of
the prisoners and the system by which
such q condition could exist.
