THE OMAHA DAILY BEE&iMONDAY, APRIL 1: PLUCK AND FAITH OF MINERS TMhese Characteristics Tllustrated by a Story from Wyoming. POVIRTY FLAT CAMP LIVING ON HOPE. Walting for the Earth to Give Up Its Treasures—-A Mountain Strik; —Colorado's New Gold Fields. ‘What that Indomitabla piuck and unswery- fne falth so characteristic of miners w sometimes bring Yhom to, 15 well illustrated by a story that comes from Laramie, Wyo., concerning a little mining camp not far from that city. According to the Republican, & man who recently had occasion to visit the eump reports the residonts as being in ptraightened, not to say desperate circhm- ptan The name of the camp s sippressed be- eause of the pluck of those who still cling to it, who do not seek notorlety nor ask assist- ance, but it may bo called “‘Pov erty rlat,” becauso that name fits it better than any other. Thirteen years ago discover were made there that e ol great excitemeut, and, as was often the case thon, in ashort time a miniature city with hotels, halis, saloons, ete., sprung ®p fu the heartof tho mountains, Stamp mills were erected and set to work, mining propertics were bonded and heavy companics formed to develop tho resources of the rich region around Poverty Fiat. But the boom collapsed in less than two years, the pepula- tion gradually deserted the camp and aftor repeated attompts to revive interost in it, it was avandoned by even those who had stuked their all in fts success, During a recent storm a man who had known the camp in its prosperous days took refuge. For o week he enjoyed the hos pitality of these hapless peopie. Ho found all but one family without supplies such as tea, sugar, coffeé and other things considered s amon the necessitics of life. There was not a sack of flour in the wh ap. In his olrcuit about the place before reaching and after leaving it he did not see a jack rabbit or a sign of game of any sort. There was no meat of any kind to be had in Poverty Flat He presumes that they do manage to find a rabbit ouce in awhile, but the country sur- rounding the camp 18 so poor it would not support a coyoto and thereis not one so bold 8s 10 venture into it. The same man visited the camp one day last summer and_counted niveteen dogs. He says he did not secone Although ho tr: for miles in direction around the camp he did not sec dliving thing exceptn lame duck that had fallen in the path, and that he would not allow his own dog to kill, hoping it might drift into the camp he had left. Yet those people cling to the hope that some day they will wrest from earth its treasures. ‘Thoy are free of care, happy and coutentod despite their povorty and priva- tion. They have never appealed to tho county or the state for aid and they never will. ' Some day fortune will smile on them and give them their deserts, they will strike it vich where others failed, and we shall hear of millionaires from Poverty Flat. Improvements and Plans, The Senator mine, near Dumont, Colo., will shortly erect a concentrating plaut, which will have a capacity of fifty tons of orover aay. This mino has big bodies of concentrating ore, which have been opened up by means of a crosscut tunnel and cut the veinat o great depth. Drifting from the crosscut has been started boih ways on the vein. With a concentratiug plant on its own ground, the Senator mine is expected to be- come ono of the heaviest producers in Morris Qistrict. A new plant of machinery is being placed on the Good Thunder, No. 2, mine at Aspe Colo., the old plant being inadequate to bandio o contmually increasing output. Fuily seventy-five tons per _day have been shipped daily since March 25, and will be steadily mcreased. The new plant will bo 8b10 to keop shipments up to. & 100 tous. per ay. At Bl Paso, Tex., the [uternational smel- ter blew in on April 7 and is running with full force. The company will add to their lant o large sampling works, the construc: ion of which will' be commenced immedi- ately. Owners of the Clmarron in the Telluride (Col.) district say thoy will put up a twenty- stam pmill this spring. Judge Costigan has alrcady vlaced an order for a twelve-ton mill for tho Belmont. Part of the new plant for the Gold Group mill has already been re- ceived, and the balance is on the way. It is expectod to have it in place and ready for op- eration by the time connection can be mado with the Gola King electric plant. v Gold Hill Excitement, “There fs considerablo excitement about Gold Hill, but the snow is so deop that it keeps all but the most venturesome out of the camp. People do not like snowstorms or snow blockades, but in spite of all some reach the camp every day, some days a dozen or more, and other days only two or three, As to the actual condition of things at tho camp. it is about this: ““There are about seventy-five at work in the mines and those are distributed among nine mines. The Acme has a shaft fifty foet doep, the Luramio has a forty-foot Quncl, the Little Bonanza has a fifty- bot shaft, the Suow Flako thirly feet, the Leviathan shaft is down somothing over oighty-five feet, the Bluo Bello is twenty-tive foet down and’ gaining a foot a duy; the Enterpriso has a_shaft down some distance, but I could not give the exact depth. The Buckeye is down fourteen feot and the Conflict about the same distance. All over the camp-men are prospecting for leads In places where float was seen before the snow foll. T have soen u majority of the trangers who have visited the catnp and ave hoard them express opinions in regard 1o Gold Hill. I have yet to hear the first word against the camp. Old miners say that the prospeets are favorable and some slaim that they are equal to anything they have ever scen. Wo have no developed mines, you must understand, but all tho leads I have named have pay ore on the dump and are working in pay rock.” Colvrado’s New Gold Camp. Tom Keating and James Durkin returned trom the Cripple creek gold flelds noar Flor- rissant aud veport that there is an abundance of ore in the new district, says the Park County Bulletin. The Blue Bell claim is lo- cated on a fissure of vein which is stripped for a distance of 300 feet. A shaft is sunk on the veiu to & distance of fifteen foct in solid ore with permanent walls. The ore will average $15 per ton. Eight tons of this pro are lying on dump, Colorado Springs company has lo- cated a claim about one and a half milos from the Blue Bell, and has ordered a car and rails. oir shaft is down about twenty- seven feet in ore similar 1o the Great West, They will start a tunnel about three hundred feet from their shaft. The presentdrawback 1s the roughness of the country and the ex- pense of hauling the ore to Florissant, a dis- tance of twenty-two miles. A line of coachies 1s running from Fliorissant to the new fietds. 1daho's 1 ‘The coming season promises to ba.an active one in the placer districts in the Salmon river country, Idabo. David MeNutt put in a big reservoir for his Moose creek placers last fall pud now has his property in fine shape for big production during the coming season. The hills are well covered with deep snow, so ihat plenty of water s assured for a good, long run, and much gold will be taken out. The Tabor company is well satisfied with their Big creek placiers, which have been put in good condition for working. A vack traln has been sent to Salmoa City to carry in a summer’s supply of provisions and min- ing supplies, and it will only be a_short time ero the water 1s turned on and the season's worlk fully Insugurated. These placers aro a few miles down Big creck from the once cel- ebrated rich camp of Leesburg, and the ground s said to be quite rich. A Montana Strike. Tn an official letter to the home office of the ent Weir states that thare ars from three to six inches of high grade ore in tho upraise in No. 11 east on the Sunnyside. It was three inches in thickness on the sides and six Inches in the top, and assayed from 300 to 600 ounces, ‘The ore is copper stained and carries ruby. ‘The strike in the Sunnyside was mado at a depth of 1,100 feet or thereabout, and about 1,400 or 1,500 feet south of the Granito shaft, which brings the strike directly west of the New Departure lode, the property of the I Granite company. A correspondent of the Anaconda Standard makes somo ugly insinuations against the St. Louls company for trying to depreciato the portance of tite strike. That paper says To the average miner and also to the average mining company throughout Montanaa vein of ore such as was found irf the Sunnyside, if they knew that it rached from the 1,100-foot lovel tothe sutface, would be all they would ask for and a great deul more than they expect. and besides it is & weil-known and indis- putable fact that the richest and most ex- tensive ore bodies found fn the Granite were found above the 800-footmark, and millions were taken out above the 500. It is also known that_below the %)0-foot level tho ore is found in small streaks with solid gran- ite betweon, and this is oelieved to be the condition of the lower workings of the Giran ito mine today, and togother with the som- nicuious Montana local management it is the principal cause of the great docline in Giran- ite mountain stock. 1f tha vein found on tho Sunnyside fucreases in width in the upraise as the Granite has done there area great man n dollars betwoen their present Writing from Virginia City, Nev., Dan De Quille says that tho spirit of prospecting ap- pears to be abroad in the land this spring. "The favorite regions are eastern Nevada an tho Death valley country, with the first men- tioned in the lead. There would bo a rush to our eastern border wero it announced that miners going thither would be met by a rall road from Salt Lake City. ~ Whilo some of our loose-footed miners are going out east- ward on *‘general principles’—just to give luck & chance—one party will go forth to look up a wondorful antimony mountain which & member of the pro- posed expedition claims to have once seen—‘'a mountain of solid metal, and no rock within a mile of it he gold’ belt out about Osceola will attract others. Man moro will strike in about Plocho and move southward toward the Colorado, the settle down and grow up We hear some talk of gold finds up Lake Tahoe and in the Sierras down in Doug- Ins county, but no ono here pays much atieu- tion to such stories. Min thin strikes reported to have been mado ichers and lumber On_the con- they prick up their eaws if it is said that a shecp herder or a herder of cattle has made a big find: probably through faith in the old saying of *'a fool for luck.” Delayed by Snow. Some of the Idaho districts have been snowed up so that no work has been done for several months, There i3 no suow in the valley of the Salmon river below Clayton, out there is much above up to Custer City. The Clayton and Ketchum stages go on_run- ners over the divide, while it is all runners from Ketchum to Dickens. On the summit at the hoad of Trail creck the snow is ten fe ep, and it will be several weess before freighting can be done over this part of the road. In the Bay horse district there is too much snow to do any work to speak of. Big Idaho Deal, The sale of the great Delmar mine in Owyhe county, Idaho, to & company of Eng- lish capitalists has been completed by the de- posit at Boise City National bauk of #475,000 to the credit of J. T. Delmar, Besides the 475,000 patd Delmar he also has 25,000 shares of stock, which at the present quotation are worth $1,130,000. Delmar is a world’s fair commissioner for Tdaho. Opening the Mineral Palace. The mineral palace at Pueblo will be opened June 15, Contracts have been let for patting the buildings in shape, and a big force of workmen is employed. It is claimed that the collections of minerals will be the finest over exhibited in America, and the in- terior of toe building will not be excelled in gorgeousness by any similar structure in the world, Notes. Some good strikes have vecently boen re- ported in the Nebo district, nine miles north of Salt Lake City. The Colorado Fuel company’s anthra mine has been closed, and 100 men h 3 It usually closes on Elk mountaln this time of year, nominally for repairs.

Shinn Points a Moral from the Great Showman's Life. ninn, pastor of the First Uni- versalist church, at Eightoenth and Lathrop, devoted the hour for yesterday mornings services to a review of the life of Phineas T. Barnum. He found much in the life of tho great showman to admire, and thought that all should strive to emulate his many good qualities. Said he: . “The great good natare of Mr. Barnum shone in every feature. No ono of the thou ands who gazed upon his faco were ever re- pelled by it. It was his mission on_eafth to amuse, and there are hundreds of thousands on both continents who can bear evidence as to how well he succoded. It was also his mission to entertain and instruct as as well as amuse, and who shall_say that he Was ot an age the hands of God. His genius was mateh! and the world never saw his equal in the direction of his wission. “In many things his life was an example. rstin physical manhood. Although n his hty-first year when ho died, he was well preserved inall his physical functious, aud this was due to his temperance principles, He was @ tototaler from his birth, and was the open enemy of liguor and tobacco in every form. Secondly, he was an example of moral and spiritual manhood. He was & man of great integrity and rejoiced i the truth of the Christian religion. Thirdly, he was an examplo of philanthropy, always giving freoly and assistng in_ alloviating suffering. Fourthly, he was an example of moral and physical courage and, fifthly, of cheerfulness, His reversos woro nover aliowed to disturd him and he knew not the meaning of melan- choly or despair, but set to work at once to reliéve his misfortunes. “The law of kindness was the law of his lifo and it was shown in his treatment of overy form of life. By it he tamed tho wild- est and most feroclous beasts besides estah- lishing his riches in tho hearts of his fellow men. May his 1ife inspire in us an_ambition to live lives of kindness ail of our days.” DeWitt s Little early Risers: only pill to cure siok headache and regulate tho bowol e L b L W. F.

Kulogizing the New Order. Couxcir, BLurs, Ta., April 10.—To the Ed- itor oIz Bek: T notice that your Coun- cil Bluffs column in Monday's issue contains a communication stating that our traveling men have organized a socret order, to be known as tho “Commercial Pilgrims of America,” This is not the case, only so far as the aspirations of & few men are con- corned. The facts aro that tho Council Bluffs traveling men have met and organized a union, to be known as the Travelers' union of Council Bluffs. They bave adopted by laws and a_constitution, and docided that there shall be connected with this organizas tion a secret order. A committeo has been appoiuted to got up | a grip, pass word and degree, but to dato has not reported in full to the traveier's union, but will do so Saturday night. The work of the committee may or may not be accepted, and tho Travelers’ union can not in_eithor event act on it until its regular meeting, as provided by its constitution and rules gov erning that body. 1t is possible, and more than_ probable, that the umon will, at its regular meeting, appoint several comimittees on the secret work and accept the one best suited 1o all interested. This is the proper method, and would result in the most good. Council Bluffs will have a secret union of traveling men, and it claims origin- ality and the right to grant charters, ete., to similar organizations and I will say that when the body is fully or- ganized, its secret work completed, all ofticers elected and committees appointed, 1v_ will be a union of which any man may be proud of being a member. Its fundamental principle will be the greatest good to the greatest num- ber; its instructions will have a tepdency to mako good men better; its influence will be felt in all just movements, and its oath will be such as will not bar any good man from the order. It will have & memborship of thirty thousand in_five years; its expenses will be small, and it will be impossible for any member to satisfy an unworthy ambition or'even a worthy one, except by a majority vote in a regular.meeting, and then by ballot. Hammond's Sad E Melville Hammond, a traveling man, whose home was at Grinnell, committed sni- cide in aroom atthe Morgan house in Des Moines by taking laudanum. A letter ad- dressed to “Those at Home' revealed the fact that the deed was committed because the light of the man’s life went out when “Bessie" died. Whether Bessie was wife or sweetheart was not revealed, although lady’s pocketbook found among bis effects bore the name ‘‘Bess Mousen” and renders the latter probable. Aletter left by Hammond to explaln his course, read: niNNELL, March 26, 1801,—My Dear Par- ents and all'at Home: ' I presume that when this reaches you I shall be i the great other world, My ‘Bessie’s death was a blow I could not stand, for [ loved her so; more than men of coarser nature can understand. Sometime somewhere, I'll meet her. When she died it seemed that I had been struck to insensibility and was just recover- ing, but all the joy of life was gone, all the sunshine I had used to feel and bask in was cold and checrless, and even for me the very birds forgot their sweetest songs, One day, 1 could stand that; two days, I could live through them, and eveu a week passed, but now nothing is brighter and noth- ing 15 of more interest than & month ago.

A merchant ir St. Louis had been anuoyed by a New York drummer until he felt that the time had come to give him a lesson, He was a good man in every other respect, but bis freshuess more than counterbalanced his merits. Oue day when he was in the store the merchant asked him to step into the back oftice. “I've wot something to show you that will do you good if you will take it." Together they walked back, and then sud- denly the merchant, says the Dry Goods Re- tailer aud Buyers' Guide, opened his vest, and over the front of his shirt he had a placard fastened, on which was printed in arge lettors : “You're 100 frosh " The drummer burstintoa hoarty laugh, and, slapping the merchant on the back, said | “That's a good one.

Sl HE WAS A PIONEER. Brief Sketch of the Lifo of Reuben Woods, The late Reuben Woods, whose funeral occurs today, was oo of tho pioneers of Owmaha, and was personally known to all the older settlers between this city and Salt Lake. He was kindhearted and sociable, as well as ono of the mostroliable of the veteran stage drivers of the early days, There are many in Omaha today who had known him intimately for nearly a chird of a century, and noue have aught but words of kindness and affection. “Rube,” as he wi iably called, mado his first trip to this city in 1863, when 'he as- sociated himself with Dr. Peck i freighting botwoen lfowa City and Omaba. They wero cngaged in freighting supplies ahead of the railroad, which at that timo had not reached the Missouri river, They were working abead of the Mississippi & Missouri Riuer railroad, which subse- quently becamo the Rock Isiand. They con- tinued to operate their line until 1867, when the Northwestern rouched the east bank of the Missouri, when Wood sold out his inter- est and went to Salt Lake, whero he was em- ployed by the Patricks to handlo ores and minerals and had charge of their live stock outfit. Later he went to Arizoza, where for four years he held a position in the govern- ment employ as sutier. After that_he was employed by Jim Stephenson as station agent on a stage line Then he came to Omaha and took charge of Canfleld’s large stablos at Eighth and Farnam, where he remained until Juno 20, 1800, whon he took a lot of stock from this city to Grand Junction, Colo., and_stocked a stage line between that place ana Meeker for Parker & Co., of Atchison. Hostayed there about six months and his health failed and he returned to Omaha. He again took chargo of the Canfield stabie, re- maining there until a short, time before’ his death At the time that he was freighting in Towa, Jim Stephenson was driving for the Western Stage company between lowa City and Den- ver. At that time Colonel E.F. Hooker, now at the Paxton, was superintendent and general manager of the stage line. On his trips Stephenson frequently overtook Wood's freight trains and the lattér would on such asions _take a seat on the stage and ride abead, There was formed the friendship that lasted until Wood's death, In speaking of the deceased Mr. Stephen- son_said: “Ho knew all nbout tho stage business and_was o firstclass agout. He was an_excellent* six-lorse driver, and al- ways took the lines and drove himself if there was a man short. He has froquently driven for me_here in Omaha of lato years, and I always felt safe when Rube was on the box, He was always careful and no acci- dents happened with him.
