the Windsor hotel a number of engi
neers and mining superintendents. As
is frequently the case, there was a good
deal of talk of shop. Among the num
ber present were men who had been
working, at one time or another, in near
ly every prominent silver camp in the
United States, The climax, however,
was reached when one of the mining
men showed how a knowledge of an
cient history once came into -play and
paid a man exceedingly well.
“Of conrse,” he said, “yon have ail
heard of the Pelican and the Dives mines
at Georgetown, and know that there
hae been very rich ore taken from these
claims. There was a dispute between
the owners of the claims. The Dives used
to keep its ore and have it all sampled
Snnday. The idea wns that no civil pro
cess conld be served Sunday, and by get
ting the ore down and sampled that day
there was no chance for their opponents
to do anything. Of conrse, after the ore
was sampled, no one conld swear to its
identity when removed from the sam
pler, and eo it was safe the rest of the
week.
“The Dives people aimed to ship down
about 100 tons each Snnday, this amount
of ore being valaed at about $50,000.
Mr. Schneider, the banker, who was
afterward shot, waa the owner of the
Pelican and waa anxious to get even
with the Dives people in any way possi
ble.
“One day he told one of the miners
aronnd Georgetown that he conld have
all the ore that ho conld get from the
Dives people, and that he would pur
chase the same at fnll value at the Peli
can mill.
“The bargain certainly gave no one a
legal title to the ore thus to be obtained,
and as to the moral aspects of the ques
tion 1 suppose that didn't bother any
one of them. The law certainly would
have looked upon oro taken from the
Dives people under this arrangement as
stolen ore.
OBTAINED THE KEQS.
“The miner with whom the arrange
ment bud been made iiad for some time
lmd soino low grade ore in sacks in one
of the bins of the Foster sampler, a mill
about half a mile above tile sampler
where the oro of the Dives people was
sampled. One evening, after he had
made arrangements with a couple pf
friends, he went to Mr. Foster, after the
latter had locked up his sampler, and
asked him for the key of tho mill, us he
wanted to get the sacks holding the low
grade ore stacked in the mill. Mr. Fos
ter, of coarse, had no objection and
handed over the key.
“Daring the night there came along a
wagon loaded with ore picked ont at the
Dives mine by one who knew the grade
of the ore. It waa dropped on tho hill
and the two men packed the ore in the
Foster sampler. The ore was pnt in the
sacks which formerly heldg.ho low grade
galena ore. It waa impoJUble to take
away the ore that night, so it waa left,
with the hope that Mr. Foster would
not notice anything ont of the way. Bat
when the next night it waa noticed by
the two conspirators that a brand new
look was placed on the door of the mill,
and that all the windows had bean firm
ly fastened down, they needed no ont to
toll them that Mr. Foster wanted an-ex
planatlon of how worthless galena ore
had suddenly become ore running 600
ounces in silver.
The two conspirators sneaked aronnd
the mill, hunting for an onguarded
place, bnt every point was locked, no
door opened, no window, waa vmihnL
To break in meant burglary, and bur
glary means Canyon City for a term, if
discovered. So what to do became the
question.
KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY.
'Here came in the advantage of read
ing. Says the one to the other, ‘Have
you ever read any ancient history? 1 'No,'
was*he reply, 'and what good would it
be here?* 'Well, if yon had, yon would
know bow to solve the problem of enter
ing this miU without breaking it. Cyrus
entered Babylon by turning the river
that flowed beneath the walla of the city
and entered by the way thus opened.
We most do the same with the water
running through the flame entering the
mill, and thus enter without breaking
through tlio wail or through the roof.'
'It Wasn't much of a job to torn the
reling and carsing. No food was pro
vided. and hanger and thirst gave an
edge to the bad passions of the mob.
The captain, a United States naval
officer, hod not assumed command be
cause he was shut off from his men by
the chaotic crowd. At length, toward
evening, he stood on the quarter deck
and shouted above the angry matters
and jargon of the crowd that the deck
most be cleared for his men so that they
conld raise the anchor. I had conferred
with a few of the more respectable look
ing passengers, and we had concluded
that there were more men on board than
onr contract stipulated for, so we replied
to the captain that tho anchor could uot
be raised until we bad bad a count.
The effort to get the men in order and
to set them in motion eo that they conld
pass around in line required two or three
hours, but was at last accomplished, and
the result showed 440 persons on board
besides the sailors. This attempt of the
consignee to increase his enormous profits
dishonestly at the risk aud discomfort of
tho passengers excitod a torrent of indig
nation. Inflammatory speeches were
made, and a committee was appointed
to virit the consignee and adjust the
matter. About 100 men left for the
shore in boats that the natives had in
waiting about the vessel, und thoae who
remained agreed to keep the ship at an
chor until they should return.—John C.
Fremont in Century.

in a few minutes the flume was dry.
Hen wu. a good pathway leading into
the mill, and nothing needed to be
broken or in any way injured.
"It wasn't very long before onr two
conspirators were in the mill and were
moving the sacks with the rich ore, about
Which Mr. Foster was so particular and
anxious to leant something.
The time at command did not allow
of carrying the ore entirely away. Not
only that, bat it was not safe to handle
just that class of ore immediately, fo.,
at the least, it meant a cutting of a good
deal of the profit of the job. Here again
the flame aud its supply of water come
in handy. The sacks with the oro were
dropped over tbs tail flame, aud as soon
as the water was turned on there was >
veil of water hiding aU that wealth hi*
den behind it.
“When the conspirators bad moved all
the ore they returned by tbe way they
had come, again turned on the water
aud then nothing on the onteide showed
that tbe mill no longer held the ore it
onee did. When the doors were opened
in the merging everything waa found ns
usual, except that the ore, to guard
which ail the paddocks aud nails and
screws bad beeu brought into requisi
tion, wav gone.
“In due time the ore was removed
from beneath its curtain of water,
brought to the Pelican sampler and sold.
It ran 4.0 ounces in silver to every tou,
aud os there was a littlo more than five
tons, it can bo readily calculated that
good pay was received for the sleep lost
at night."—Denver News.

Sunshine.
Light is necessary to health. People
who live in gloomy places, say state
prisons, for example, are always pealdsh.
Owls affect the twilight and the dark,
and what miserable mopes they are.
Eagles love tbe sunshine, and how strong
of wing they are and how exnltingly
they soar. It is true that one may have
too much sun, bat it is cheering to see
the sunlight, even when it is necessary
to sit in the shade. How it enlivens na
in winter, exhilarates ns in spring, en
hances onr appreciation of tho shade in
summer and charms us in glorious au
tumn.
In September, when Old Sol seems to
have stolen a few pale rays from the
moon wherewith to temper his fiery
glories, and all through gorgeous Oct
ober—nay, even* in November, and
sometimes up to mid-December, and
often in windy March—how delightful is
the sunshine of our happy latitude.
A blessing-on the gun! “Of this great
world both eye and soul,” source of life
and health and beauty, type of the light
that shall be, symbol of tho smile of
God!—New York Ledger.

A Uorld Sample.
A commercial traveler whom I know
carriee perhaps tbe most unique “sam
ple" in the dramming profession. It is
nothing lees than n human body, three
years old, an example of the efficacy of a
certain embalming fluid. For three
yean this mammy has been transported
on the railroad, as a sample case would
be, and, indeed, there is no outward sign
which would indicate tbe nncanny nat
ure of its contents. In this instance the
longer tho body is preserved the more of
an advertisement it is for the fluid in the
veins of the “stiff.” Tho box is zinc
lined, and does not exceed the limits of
tbe railroad excess baggage rale in
weight.—Interview in St. Lonis Globe-
Democrat. '

for a fortnight at a time. Every fif

monntaiu to-the nearest village,some
twenty miles away, and reveled in all
