GOLD STAMPEDES. How & Califorsia Doclr Bilked the Boys in Early Days, Stories Abont Big Placers in the lattico, and as gracotul as the clematis Cavur d'Alene, Correspondence of Salt Lake Tribune, Kercuvs, Idaho, November 10.— This evening I met an old Montanian and asked him whathe knew about the Coour @' Alene country and its minerals now attracting so much attention, and he replied: “1 will tell yeu all 1 know about it. In early days one Dr, Robin. son was in the Placerville (California) district, and when Montana got a rush of miners and hangers-on, he went thith- er, He was in the Cedar Creok stam- pede near Messoula, That was a rich streak of placers, but they soon played out and the miners scattored. Robinson started out from there with a pony, armed with pick and shovel and miner's kit, and in a fow days came back loaded with rich specimens of gold quartz, in which were nuggots of free gold. This caused a big excitement, and he was ask- ed to guide a party to the new diggings. This ho would do for 830 per capita. A company was formed, the money paid to Robinson and off thoy started, the party leaving Missoula in high apirits. Before reaching the wished for spot trouble arose and Robinson refused to take them any farther. Lynching was talked of, but he managed to escape. He then went to Helena and got up a snrty, col- lecting his pay in advance, and after get- ting near the place, gave them the slip and left the party to get back home without a gthu. At Portland, Ore., he played a similar game on a large number, getting a good round prico for duping men. San Francisco was also the scene of his operations. He then went to Wisconsin, married, raised a company at 8200 per head and started for Cccur d'Alene. This party came up the Mis. souri river on a steamboat and I hap- pened to be traveling en the boat. Rob. inson was a talkative man and had his wife and s'ster along. He sent the two ladies back home on aboat we met, under the plea that the country was too rough for them, When he got to Helena the crowd wero 8o suspicious of him _that they placed a guard over him. He started with the guard to go to the stage oftice to engage passago to Missoula, and step- ping into a hotel gave the guard the slip and cleared out. Parties went in search, and thoe vigilantes were called out to aid in catching and *‘fixing" him, Not find- ing Robinson, they took his brother, a man 60 years of age, and threatened to hang him a3 an accomplice in the swin- dle. The old man pleaded innocence, and said he had been deceived and duped by his brother the same as had the others. The crowd took from him his watch and money, and, buying cheap traniportation for him to Salt Lake, sent him away. While this was going on, Robinson had walked out of Helena under darkness, and next day got on the stage going south and left for Salt Lake. Ar- riving at Boulder, thirty-two miles out of Helena, the stage stopped for din- ner. As he. went in, a man named Green, who had been «iupsd by him in his Cceur d’Alene game, recognized him, and as he came out took him into a side room and got his pay out of aim by tak- ing his gold watch and about $000. Robinson begged to be allowed to keep part of it, and he was handed $100 and told to go on. He next turned up in Boston, where he organized a large party and they started for the mythical place. This party had a pleasant. tn}) by sea to San l'}:‘muim, and were told just before entering the Golden Gate, that for cer- tain reasons he did not wul;(o be seenin the city, but for them to take passage ox Aswlggr he named for Portland,«fd that he would be there when thy-vessel sailed. This ruse let him get ~#8y with that party, and his track #as not dis- covered until the steam- Was out of the harbor.

He campe10ar being lynched several times Sitonce made his escape in the very lo- cality he was taking a party to. They camped for the night on a rapid moun- tain stream, with the promise of seeing rich gold placers and quartz leads next day. In the night Robinson mounted a single 1og and floated down the stream at great peril of life, but that ride was less perilous than were his prou;:uou, should he remain in camp until the next day. The party were watching him, and had the rope ready, in case the rich diggings were not shown them. Robinson lived well while he was engaged in this busi- ness of raising parties and taking them to the wilds of Montana, and he must have mave lots of money by tho scheme.’ Our informant closed his narrative by eaying: “*This is all I know about Cceur d’Alene. There may be a good mineral country there for all'I know."” Three years ago your correspondent was in the Yankee Fork country and met a prospector who told his story: Said he, *“I was out prospecting in 1873, and mysolf and partner got into ‘a country southwest of Missoula, Montana, when the country was lousy with gold, We got some fine nuggets out of a creek, and the hills had lots of ledges. It was in Getober, and snow had begun to fly; our grub was about used up, our ponies nearly worn out, and the country was €ull of red devils, We were too anxious abwt our scalps to remain, I have Iwityy intended to go there, and think I coul '~: itho locality, ana believe I will o to Buj i §10 said 1t wil, Orgsalze & oompany, 3 vA8%bout 160 miles west and afterward, T met a mah fow. wooks . here who had been ontangled in the wi o the Conur d'Alene count®i §ulches wonderfully rich placers, seveir.. 4 vears before, and he was on the ing racket 5 r.

B, Winship in 2:10 3.4 with Run- ning Mates, Now York Sun, November 10th, The great trot at Prospect Park yester- day afternoon between the champion double teams, trotters with running mates, was the most oxciting event that ovor occurred on this track. The trotters wero the bay gelding Wrank, owned by James Keenan of Boston, and driven by Johny Murphy, and the black gelding H. B. Winship, owned by J. H. Barnaby & Co. of Providence, and driven by James Golden. The race was for a purse of $2,000, given by the Engeman]Brothers, and 8600 extra added if the record of 2:10] was beaten. Frank had as running mate the cheat- nut gelding J. 0. Nay, and H. B. Win. ship's mato was tho bay runner Hiram Bruce, the mate of Yellow Dock in his memorable race at Narragansett Park in 1882, when the record of 2:11 was made, About 6500 noted turfuien were present, among whom were Mr. O. McCune, proprietor of the Buffulo Courier, Mr. Adam Forepaugh, Gen. Joseph O. Nay, John J, Queen, Harry W. Genet, Capt. John Salter, Gabo Caso, Edward Drud- geon, William McCoy, Frank Stevensen, and others. The judges were: Messrs, David Bonner, John Boylan of Newark, and J. 0. Stearns of Elizabeth, The weather was raw and cold, the track was in poor condition for fast time, and it was thought by many that the record could not be beaten. Johnny Murphy bet 8500 that 2:13 would be beaten, and he was quickly accommodated. The genoral botting, however, was even money that they could not beat 2:15, with plenty of ers, In drawing for positions Winship won and took the pole. The knowing ones centred on Winship, making him the favorite at $100 to $35 for Frank in the pool selling. They always have |l the NO STAIRS TO CLIMB; ho will seck shelter inside the trunk.

He will lie upon an upper limb with his body stretched out length- wiso of the limb, his tail being towards the body of the tree.

Whon the watches were stopped the spectators looked at them, then looked at each other, and then compared timo- pieces, hndli able to credit the fact they recorded. When finally it began to dawn upon their minds that the best time had been beaten, a long and loud cheer went up, which was repeated again and again a8 each person discovered that his timer did not lie, but agreed with the time hung up by the judges. Old turfmen who have scen trotting for the last half century tossed their hats in the hair and shouted themselves hoarse. For the second heat the betting turned slightly. Winship selling for 60 to $40 for Frank. In scoring Frank acted badly and was very rank. As they came down the third time it was noticed that Frank was trotting squarely, and the word was iven, Frank had the pole, and led by If & longth in the first few strides, but then went in the air. Winship rushed by like a steam engine under full head way, passing the quarter pole in 324 seconds, and, trotting with marvellous spoed, led Frank two lengths at the half- mile pole in 1:04}, Murphy now called on Frank, and inch by inch he crept u on Winship. As they made the turn, an: as the herses were approaching the 1hree- quarter pole, he wasnearly even with his competitor. The three-quarters was made in 1:36§. As they rounded into the homestretch at a rattling gait, Frank was gaining at every stride, and Winship seemingly began to tire, Golden began to use his whip, and Frank, being a spirited horse, went into the air as he heard the cracks; but he soon caught his gait again, and it looked like anybody's heat until near tho score, when Frank broke again for tho third time, and lost the heat by a length; in the next fastest time on record of 2:10}, Darknees coming on, Mr. David Bon- ner announced from the judges' stand that it was impossible to distinguish the running horse from the trotter in the semi-darkness, so the race would have to tponed till 3 o'clock p. m., sharp g The trotters, Frank and H.

New York Journal. Mr. Hewitt, the candidate of the Sul- tan and of the Khedive of Egypt for the Presidency, says *“‘The future of the United States does not depend upon the election of a Democratic or Republican President.” This is a prefound, states- manlike remark and does infinite credit to Mr. Hewitt's great head and heart. No wonder that the Sultan was captured by Mr. Howitt and that he asked him to send him a postal daily informing how the country is getting along. We should like to unite with the Sultan and the Khedive in urging the nom’nation and election of Mr. Hewitt; but we cannot dose. We are afraid he would make Washington a second Constantinople, and besides we aro more or less committed to Mr. John Kelly. The Tammany chiof agrees with Mr. Hewitt that the future does not hang on either Democrats or Republicans. He is firmly convinced, however, that it docs depend upon the election of Tammany men first, last, and all the time, Kelly and Hendricks is the ticket. FOUND IN A BOX.
