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. ■ ISTARTED WITH A I COLD.” ■DOCTOR ACKERS ENCLI8H REMEDY rh: stnuOAt ■p/teuem IT TASTES NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS.

"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.
