STORY OF A SILVER MINE
AS ROMANTIC AN’D PATHETIC AS
ANY IN 'HE EOOKS.
A Rich Load Rediscovered by a Son
of the First Finder and One Whose
Father Was m Actor in the Origi
nal Drama.
A Boulder (Cd.) letter to the Chicago
Herald says: The “lost vein'’ has been
touud. It conssts of a six-inch streak of
almost solid sllvir, glance and brittle silver,
estimated to rut front $ 15,000 to $35,000 in
value per ton. It was found by Fred Al
bright and Window Carlisle, and uudoubt
sdly is the fainois “lost veiu.” For twenty
years prospectois have searched for this
vein, and thousands of dollars hare been
spent in the quest.
That is the plan news statement ef fact,
but back of it range the incidents of one of
the most pathetic love stories ever written.
Borne time, whei that state of marvels
shall produce its p >et or its scribe, the
tale of the “lost Tein” will be embalmed
in song or story that shall captivate our
ears.
Amos Albright went to Denver in the
’oos, and left his rife and boys on the farm
in Illinois. He knew nothiug of mining,
but found himstlf, after all, as well
equipped as hundreds of others who had
dared the mouitainr. and tempted fate
right at the margin of eternal snows. There
was no such town as Boulder at that time,
and he drifted with the rest of the fortune
hunters into the whirl at Denver. It was
tneD a mining csmp more than a city, aud
there were twi® as many tents as solid
buildings in the iown. There were three
drinking plnces So one store, and gambling
places were out of all proportion to hotels.
But Amos was a sensible fellow, aud saved
at least a part of his money.
But the air of ihe mountains was trying
on the lungs of men from Illinois, and
Amos Albright fotyid his vigor failing.
The first symptcm of decay was a weakness
aud lassitude that would have seemed like
ague only that tkere was no aching and no
fever. And here, when ne first needed
help, he found it refused him. He had lost
his nerve, they said, and that was the one
unpardonable sin of a mining town. As
long as a man coaid smile and swear and
drink n little he could call friends about
him aud could get assistance in the further
ing of any scheme. As soon ns he came
with fnltoring baud and dimming eye they
passed him impatiently. They “hated to
see e man weaken.”
Albright thought o( the woman at home,
of the boys who needed him, and the cred
itors who were troubling. He mourned for
the chances ho had passed disdainfully when
ho was stronger. He crept to the postolfice
after the rush was over and wonderingly
waited to see if the weekly stage hud
brought him a letter. It did, and the letter
told of the darkening troubles at his home.
The crops had failed, the season was bad,
the rush of the war period had made money
more valuable, and George Carlisle de
manded a return of bis loan. “He threatens
to foreclose and turn us off the place,” wrote
Mrs. Albright. “Ho says worse things than
that to me. lam doing the best I can for
you and the boys, but it does seem dark
ahead. Mayte it would be better if you
were boro, even if you did uot bring muoh
money.”
That letter ground in Amos Albright’s
heart. Ho knew what tho "worse things”
were. He knew George Carlisle, and knew
that ninn had been a suitor tor Mary’s hand
before sha married. He knew tho fellow,
spite of marriage, was so characterless as to
still pursue with attentions the woman who
hua wedded Albright. But Carlisle was
rich, and there had seemed no better way
than borrow the money from him. Now
that war had broken out lie felt the rush of
feeling which led men into tho ranks, and
he believed his wife would be more care
fully guarded by the loyal friends it he
wore absent in the army than if he were
here gold hunting in the Rockies. If he
only had tho money!
Ho brooded over it, and worried and
hoped and planned till he became a ghostly
creature, shunned by his fellows, and out of
place in the town. He could get no backing,
no "stake.” No one had confidence in him
when the apreal came so tremblingly. He
sold half of his kit to a tenderfoot, bought
grub enough to last him a week, and worked
slowly out of tho city to tho north. As he
passed cut of town he mot a train of new
arrivals, and they shouted to him the news
cf a victory at Gettysburg. Ho knew where
that was, though he had not been following
very closely the movements of the nrmies
in these years whoa history was making.
He knew where.it was, for he was horn
there. There he grew to mandood. There
ho met Mary, There he married
her. There he fought George Car
lisle and vanquished hitn. From
there both ho and inter the
Carlisles had come to Illinois. He knew
the peaceful little Pennsylvania town, and
realized how sore the danger was when
southern errnies dared blacken the fair
fields o£ that free state. And that con
sciousness—suite of the fact that his was a
victory—brought him back again to his own
trouble. It would only make the fortunes
of debtors harder. George Carlisle would
take the general cry for his own excuse to
persecute Mary. It spurred him afresh,
and he toiled all through the hot July day,
far into thacold July night, pasta hundred
camps where wealth was pouring into wait
ing hands, or where want was chasing des
peration over haggard faces. He slept in a
little cleft in the rocks, where some grass
had doigned to grow and where tho chill
wind was partly broken from him. Ho rose
in the morning with a consciousness that his
lungs were failing, and he could not strugglo
on much longer. How he prayed for fort
une! r
J'est day he came to the rugged hills be
yond the timber line, beyond the camps, up
m the mountains where mining seemed im
possible, He turned from the trail and
tried to find unbroken, undiscovered ground,
rle found it and began prospecting. Noth
log but disappointment awaited him for
nays. Ho was growing weaker every hour,
ine pick was almost too heavy to lift. The
od was gone and he know starvation or
retreat w a i right before him. Ho had
, ° r * ed „ ln , a cleft between the boulders
nearly all day, and was sitting just at sun

, outfit and plenty of food. A man loaned
him a mule. “They wouldn’t loan me any
thing a week ago," be said, bitterly. He
knew they looked at him as one who had
“struck it. ’ He remembered how he bad
looked enviously at just such figures. Ho
felt a sort of enmity at the world, a feverish
hatred of Carlisle. He hoped he might not
break down till accounts were squared.
He went back to his claim and found it
richer than he dreamed. In a week he had
a pack load of silver that was worth $35 a
pound. In a month be had enough for a
train. Aud ha had only found the begin -
| mug of the wealth. Ha bad traced the fis
sure to Its parent in the bill, and bad satis
| fled himstlf of the richest find in Colorado.
But there he broke down. He had just
strength enough left to load the mules and
start back. He was weakened with hem
orrhage. He was blinded and staggering.
He reached Denver leaning across one of
the swaying animals and begging in God’s
name for assistance.
They took care of him then. He was a
rich man. He was far more than that in
their eyes. He was fortunate. But he
tossed in a frenzy of excitement, and called
upon theai to hurry him home. It would
have been death to the man who stole a
dollar. They made common cause of car
ing for him. He told them freely, without
reserve, rapidly, where the vein could he
found. lie knew he could never oome back
and keep bis claim. They struggled and
fought for the privilege of buying. They
asked no guarantee beyond what they saw.
They knew he was telling the truth. Their
purchase money was worth moie than the
ore he had brought away. He was hurried
to the train. He was hurried home. He
reached there unconscious. #
Mary Albright had been bearing a heavy
burden. She could not repay the money
her husband had borrowed from Carlisle.
She could not avoid understanding tbo hor
rible alternative offered her. She could
not defend herself except by taking her
boys out from under the only roof they had
in the world. Bno did not hesitate in the
choice. She only planned to postpone the
evil day. She promised the money faith
fully Sept, 1. Iu default she pledged a
foreclosure dearer to George Carlisle than
al tho money in the world. July
drifted into August and August was burn
ing away in the torrid rays of n sultry
sun. George Carlisle rode past the Albright
farm day after day. He watched his boy
Winslow playing in the barn or in the woods
with Fred, the eldest son of bis prospective
victim. He wondered why the lads wore
such inseparable companions, ar.d thought
of the enmity that had always boou between
their fathers.
Late in the month he walked across the
fields and tried to enter the house. Mary
met him at the door and warned him never
to cross the threshold. He pushed bis way
into the house, aud she shot him.
That day the news came that Amos
Albright had arrived sick aud dying at the
County town, ten miles away. His wife aud
children had fled from the house which
could be a home to them no longer, and
were hurrying to the Btation when the news
met them. .She kuew that officers would
overtake her,for whether or not her shot was
fatal it was too serious to be forgiven.
She met her husband and drank her great
soul full of his one caress, of his one kind
pressure of pallid lips upon her own, and
then laid him down contented. He never
knew ®f her trouble.
People in the little Illinois town know to
this day the persecution with which George
Carlisle followod this heroic woman; knew
that the money her husband brought her
was dissipated in a fight he had not the
manliness to abandon. And they also know
the woman was escorted by half the popu
lation of the township back to the home
made sacredly hers by the defenso there of
her honor, and that she was there protected
by them against the slanders as well as the
assaults of her enemy until he went at last
—a tardy'volunteer—into the army, and
foil with heaven’s curse upon him in the
very first fight of his life.
They know as well that the children of
these families grew up together in love, un
marred by the strife of parents, and that
between bold Fred Albright and Madeline
Carlisle there was a bond, the stronger for
stormy days of youth. And closer than
David to Jonathan, nearer than Pythias to
Damon, drew the hearts and the lives of
Fred and Winslow; tho boys wbo played in
the barn and the woods while poor, famish
ing Ainos Albright was fighting death at
the mouth of a mine. W hen they were
grown they went to Colorado together, and
found a city where were barren rocks in
war time. They found out then what all
Colorado had known for years, that the
Albright vein was lost. No man ever had
found it. They knew he had told the truth.
Trey found the silver he had oahced, they
followed his very footsteps down the trail,
but in the iusanity which must have come
of weakness and excitement he had buried
his treasure too well. One byonemenfol
lowed the search, scent a fortune, and
abandoned it. When the boys came to
Boulder three years ago they easily' seoured
all rights, and began again the search the
others had found so latuous. Made
line, now for years the wife of Fred
Albrighty, was left at home, smoothing the
sunset road of Mary’s life m the very house
where George Carlisle had fallen wounded.
The boys worked together diligently and
confidently. They knew they would find
the “lost vein.” Others said: "Hope you
will; we couldn’t.” Theynover left "the
search for an hour, and never omitted an act
that would assist them. Day after day,
month after month, they hoped and labored,
turning aside for no seductive smaller finds.
And at last they wrere rewarded.
under the house in which they bad lived,
right down the center of a rock as broad
and bald as an ocean billow, they found that
rift, and it was filled witn silver. How far
down it runs no one can tell. How it may
broaden or narrow no one knows. But tons
and tons of the ore have already been taken
out, and every ounce of it is worth a dollar.
And it is sacred coin to them, for every
atom of it is hallowed by tho blood and
tears aud hopes of a horo.
BAM SMALL’S SERVICES.
He Opens by a Short Talk on "The
Sin of Monopoly.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 6.— Rev. Sam
Small began this afternoon at Prohibition
hall his people’s tabernacle enterprise. The
hall was packed and the preacher was
given great encouragement. Before begin
ning his regular sermon, which was on the
relation of the miuister and people, Mr.
Small delivered a short talk on “The Sin of
Monopoly." His basis for argument was
that the blessings of God belonged to all
his people, and that any combination which
took these things out of the hands of the
people was a sin against the constitution
and against the golden rule, which h 9 c n
siderea the propel basis for all dealings be
tween man and man. The speech was
brilliant nnd thoroughly characteristic of
the eminent evangelist. The conclusion
which the argument led to was that all
public conveniences should be under the
control of the government and only In that
way could the divine intention be carriod
out.
Mr. Small will continue the meetings at
Prohibition hall each Sunday, uutil he has
been able to secure a fund with which to
build a permanent tabernacle. The feature
of each Sunday’s services will bo the dis
cussion of some topic of general interest,
which may be discussed from a Christian
standpoint.

CHICAGO FAIR NOTES.
Some of the Articles to be on Ex
hibition.
Chicago, Sept. 6.— The first cotton gin,
made by Eli Whitney, will be exhibited at
the exposition by the New Orleans Ma
chinery Company, which will also make an
extensive exhibit of cotton gins, sugar mi.ls
aud other machinery.
It has been decided to have tho machinery
annex an annex in fact instead of being an
isolated structure as at first planned. The
annex will adjoin Machinery hall on the
west. The ontire structure will thus meas
ure 500 by 1,400 feet and be second in size
only to the manufactures’ building, the
dimensions of which are 788 by 1,088 feet.
With its galleries, the latter building will
have forty acres of floor space.
A genius at Muhlenberg, Pa., has com
pleted a marveU ua clock for exhibition at
the fair. Around the dial isarailwny track,
on which a miniature locomotive makes the
round every five minutes. It requires a
magnifying glass to see the delicate ma
chinery. The oil cups at the journals are
so small that nothing larger than a hair
ean b inserted. There is a headlight and
bell, flag-holders on the pilot, whistle, and
everything connected with a locomotive.
It has a link motion under the engine to
reverse it. The weight of the locomotive
is \ % pounds, and it has been named “The

An impostor, calling himself “W. Sti
assuy of 19 Hue Louis-le-Grand, Pnris,” has
been engaged in selling, in Europe, agencies
for the exposition. He sold ths agencies for
Norway and Sweden to a Stockholm man

SAVANNAH’S TRADE.
Comments on the Morning News’ Re
view of It.
From the Augusta (3a.) Chronicle.
The Savannah Morning News has got
ten out an interesting review of trade and
commerce of the groat Georgia seaport. It
shows that tho value of Savannah’s business
for the season of iBB9-’9O was $133,800,000,
and for the season of 1890-’9l was $153,550,-
000, an increase of almost $30,000,000. There
can be no better evidence than this of her
growth in material wealth. Savannah has
just passed the million mark iu cotton re
ceipts. The increase in her cotton receipts
for the year ending Aug. 31, 1891, over the
1 revioua year vjas 137,898 bales, and the in
crease last year over the previous year was
183,901 bales, tho total receipts being very
early 1,140,000 bales.
From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Metropolis.
Friday’s Savannah Morning News was
a twenty-page paper, ami a mighty good
paper, too. It was tne annual trade edi
tion, aud showsjthat Savannah’s business is
growing with remarkable rapidity. The
value of her business for the season of
1889-90 was $133,800,000, and for the season
of 1890-91 was $153,550,000, an increase of
almost $30,000,000. Now, when are Jack

From the Macon (Oa.) Keias.
The Savannah Morning News has
published a general summary of the trade
and commerce of the port of Savannah for
the past twelve months. It shows the gen
eral condition of the merchants to be ex
ceptionally strong, and but few losses in
curred. The banks have done a very heavy
business, and the banking capital and re
serves have been increased by the addition
of new banks and loau companies.

The annual trade issue of the Savannah
Morning News is, as usual, one of credit
to that paper, and speaks volumes for the
commercial progress of the Forest City.
The value of Savannah’s business for the
year just closed was $153,569,000, an in
crease of nearly $20,000,000 over the year
previous.

piece of work.
BONES OF COLUMBUS.
Claim Tnat Tbey Still Remain In Ban
Domingo's Cathedral.
From the Republic.
New York, Aug. 30.—Senor Suarez, the
diplomatic represeutativo of San Domingo
in this country, takes a warm interest in
the controversy about the various places
where the bones of Christopher Columbus
aro supposed to repose. Home people assert
that they are in Havana, but the senor is of
those who contend they are still in San
Domingo. The controversy is so exciting
that it appears there may be a falling out
between Spain and San Domingo. The
senor talked freely on the subject to-day.
"We know,” he said, "that Colunibus
died at Vallodelid in 150 G; that between
1507 and 1513 his remains were taken to the
Convent of Las Cuevas at Seville; that be
tween 1537 and 1540 they were removed to
the Cathedral of Santo Domingo; that in
1795 a box purporting to contain the re
mains of the illustrious admiral was taken
to the Cathedral of Havana, whore it lies
to-day. And lastly, that in Septomber, 1877,
while workmen were making some repairs
in the Cathedral of Santo Domingo two
vaults were discovered, one of
which contained the remains of the
Admiral Don Luis Colon, Due of
Veraguas, etc., and the other the remains
of the First Admiral Don Cristoval Co
lombo, the discoverer of America. The
official documents showing the authenticity
of this discovery leave no doubt whatso
ever iti regard to the existence of the re
mains in tne vaults of the cathedral of
Santo Domingo. You are aware that
Santo Domingo was the favorite land of
Columbus and that he exptessed in his last
will the desire that his remains should be
buried in a obapel to be built and properly
kept by his hairs at a town called Concep
cion de la Vega, in Hispaniola, now Santo
Domingo. But they rest to-day at the ca
thedral of the capital of the island, not
withstanding all that has been published to
the contrary. ”
“But how do you explain the existence of
the Chapel el Template, erected iu Havana
with the special object of serving as a re
pository of the remains of Columbus?”
“Very easily,” said the senor. “The act
of the exhumation of the pretended reties
of the illustrious admiral, bearing the date
of December 20, 1705, and signed by Don
JoseT. Hidalgo, notary of the chamber of
the royal audience of South Domingo, does
not set down iu explicit terms that the relics
exhumed from one of the tombs of the ca
thedral and transported to Cuba were those
of Columbus. Thoactsimply says that they
found in said tomb certain lead plate, sup
posed to be ports of a coffin, and therein
bones and dust supposed to be human re
mains. Now, if the remains said to be de
posited at Havana are the genuine ones,
nothing could be easier than to prove their
authenticity by proceeding to a solemn
exhumation before respectable and trust
worthy witnesses*, such as the foreign con
suis residiug at Havana. Oa the other
hand, if the relics existing at Havana prove
to be the real relics of the illustrious navi
gator who did so mnch for the glory and
greatness of Spain, now is the time for the
Spanish people to shew their gratitude and
veneration tar the great dis
coverer of Tlie New World by
restoring his mortal remains to the place
where he wished them to rest in peace and
by joining the Dominican people to rtfiso a
memorial to Columbus on the spot where
be was put in irons like a vulgar criminal,
and sacrificed to the petty hatred of ene
mies. This vexatious misunderstanding has
been the cause of bad feelings between the
two countries, and it is very probable that
on this account Santo Domingo will ab
stain from taking part in the celebration
that will take place in Madrid in 1802, to
commemorate the four hundredth anniver
sary of the discovery of America,’’
United Confederate Veterans.
Headquarters j
United Confederate Veterans,
New Orleans, La., Sept. 6, 1891. |
* The following is Gen. John 11. Gordon's
address to the United Confed.-rate Veterans,
and to all the ex-soldiers and sailors of the
late confederate states:
ADDRESS OF THE GENERAL COMMANDER.
Atlanta, Oa., Sept. 5, 1801.
To the Ex—Soldiers and Sailors of the Con
federate States of America:
The convenlion of delegates from the dif
ferent states which assembled iu New Or
leans Jurm 10, 1889, effected a general
organization known as the “United Con
federate Veterans.” It is designed as an as
sociation of all the bodies of ex-oonfederate
veterans and sailors throughout the union.
The convention adopted a constitution and
did mo the great honor to elect me general,
which position I accept with peculiar grati
fication. Preliminary to the issue of any
orders I wish to call genera 1 attention to
the
OBJECTS OF THIS ASSOCIATION
and to enlist in their accomplishment tbo
active co-operation not only of overy sur
vivor of southern armies, but ulso that large
contingent of sous of veterans who, too
young to have roceived the i, autism of fire,
have nevertheless received with you the
baptism of suffering and of sacrifice.
The first article of the constitution of the
association deolares: “The object and pur
pose of this organization will be strictly
social, literary, historical and benevolent.
It will endeavor to unite in a general federa
tion all associations of the confederate vet
erans, soldiers and sailors now in existence
or hereafter to bo formed; to gather authen
tic data for au impartial history of the war
between tho s’ates; to preserve the relics or
mementoes of tho same; to cherish the ties
of friendship that should exist among the
man who have shared common dangers,
common suffering aud privations; to cure
for the disabled and extend a helping hand
to the needy; to protect the widow and
orphan and to make and preserve tho record
of the services of every member, and, as far
ns possible, of those of our comrades who
have preceded us in eternity.”
The last article provides that neither dis
cussion of political or reltgi >us subjects nor
any political action shall be permitted in
the organization, and any association violat
ing that provision shall forfeit its member
ship.
GOOD OBJECTS,
Comrades, no argument is noedo 1 to se
cure for those objects your enthusi is ic in -
dorsemont. They have burdened your
thoughts for many years, you have cher
ished them iu sorrow, poverty aud huiniia
tion. Iu tho face of inisc instruction you
have held them ill your hearts with the
strength of religious convictions. No mis
judgments can defeat your peaceful pur
poses for the future. Your aspirations
have been lifted by the mere force
aud urgency of surrounding conditions
to a plane far above the paltry
consideration of partisan triumphs. The
honor of the American republic, the just
powers of the federal government, tho
equal rights of states, the integrity of the
constitutional union, the sanctions of la w
and the enforcement of order have no class
of defenders more true and devoted than
the ex-soldiers of the south and their
worthy descendants. But you realize tho
great truth that a people without tho mem
ories of heroio suffering and sacrifices are
A PEOPLE WITIIOUT A HISTORY.
To cherish such tnornorios and recall such
a past, whether erowued with success or
consecrated in defeat, is to idealize princi
ple and strengthen chiyacter, intensify love
of country and convert defeat aud disaster
into pillars of support for future manhood
and noble womanhood. Whether the
southern people, under their ohanged con
ditions, may ever hope to witness another
civilization which shall oquai that which
began with their Washington and ended
with their Leo, it is certainty true that de
votion to their glorious past is not only the
surest guarantee of future progress and the
holiest bond of unity, but is also the strong
est claim they oan present to the confidence
and respect’’ of the other sootiocs of the
union. (
NON-POLITICAL.
In conclusion I beg to repeat, in substance
at least, a few thoughts recently expressed
by mo to the stats organization, which ap
ply with equal force ta this giueral broth
hood.
It is political in no sense except so far as
tho word “political” is a synonym of the
word "patriotic.” His a brotherhood over
which the genius of philanthri phy and pa
triotism, of truth and of justice will pre
side; of philanthrophy, because it wil! suc
cor the disabled, help the needy, strengthen
the weak and cheer the disconsolate; of pa
triotism, because it will cherish
the past glories of fho dead
confederacy and transmute them into living
inspirations for future service to the living
republic; of truth, because it will seek to
to author and preserve as witnesses for
history the unimpeachable facts which shall
doom falsehood to die that truth may live;
of justice, because it will cultivate national
ns woll as southern fraternity' and will con

A Colonel by Marriage.
A traveler In Texas, according to the Texas
Si/linr/s , says that he was’ riding along a cattle
trail near the New Mexico line when he met a
rather pompous looking native of the region,
who introduced himself as Col. Higgins of
Devil s River.
"Were you a colonel in the confederate
army?” I asked. *
“No, sab."
"On the union side, then!”
“No, sab; uevah was in no wah.’*
"Belong to the Texas Rangers?”
“No, sab, I do not.”
‘‘Ah, I see. You command one of the state
militia regiments?”
"No, sab, 1 don’t. Don’t know nothing about
soldiering. ”
"Where, then, did you g.t the rank of
colonel?”
‘ T's a kunnei by marriage, Rah.”
"By marriage: How ’s that:"
“I married the widow of a colonel, sab.
Kunnei Thompson of Waco."
