A MARVEL-WORKING GOLD TRAP Xled Lnxo Jtn rrralloit to Ho Opened A llouldur Strike How I.o AVorkt Uncle Sxiit A lilt of Ilenl Itoinnnoe Wrtlcrn Noun In Uriel. The scriptural proverb that "whoso Is not ngnlnst mo Is for mo" may i well bo Applied to the weather , for each day that it In not unfavorable It Is really favorable and losscni the dajs of possible disaster. In general there Is nothing from which the west can take moro comfort today than the Assurance of an abundant crop. The warm weather of the past week has hastened corn and had n favorable Influence on other cereals , boitdos fruits of which a largo yield is promised. In Colorado the silver depres sion will bo largely counteracted by a moro vigorous search after the yellow metal , which is abundant throughout the state , and between Increased prospecting and working of mines that had hitherto not paldnn outlet will bo found providing employment for thousands , until the voxcd silver question lias been adjusted. Tlio Uold Trap Hclintno. * News conies from British Columbia th.it Sampson's ' great gold trap scheme , which was to revolutionize mining , has ended in ignominious failure , and Sampson , the in ventor , whoso scheme looked so well as ho explained it , is now a prisoner for obtaining' money by fraud and for threatening eastern capitalists who wont Into the vouturo with him. His notions on the expedition to No tlon river , where the trap was to bo tried , led to the belief that ho is a dangerous mnd m 11 n , whoso genius has merged into insanity. Messengers hnvo arrived from Glscombo portage and Summit lake , bringing news of the end of the expedition , which departed with such pomp early iu May. From their reports , Sampson informed Fiislaull nnd Ln Porierro thnt ho hnd the gold machine already In the crook and was catching gold successfully when ho loft eighteen months hoforo. As the expedition progrcs cd they discovered thnt ho was Ig. nuraiit of the rlver ns well as of gold min ing , and a priest nt Fort George tol'd them ho had never been thoro. However , they wont on to Glscombo portage nnd there Sampson commenced to treat them with resolute cruelty , refusing the commonest necessities from the supplies and compelling thorn to c.irry his pot cats and dogs over portages , threatening to shoot nnv daring to disobey. After many mad actions , the party reached Summit lake , where Sampson or dered them to moke boats , while ho sent n man back to spy on Dr. Fisslault , saying that ho would bo rewarded , nnd that the plan wns to abandon the two capitalists in the wilder ness. This young man informed La Porierro of the plot , and was told to go to the nearest town for officers , a companion being sent with him unknown to Sampson. The two poor fellows were almost drowned , arriving nt Fort George waist deep in n flooded canoe nnd utterly exhausted. Meanwhile Sampson sent yrord to La Poriorro that the men were nil discharged. He gave them all a day's fooa and a canoe nnd dared them to molest the scow or pro visions. Ho walked in front of 'tho store house at Giscombe with a loaded rifle and cocked revolver. La Poriorro was deter mined to nn-ost him , and telling the mon his plan of capture , they gradually closed in , making n pretense of asking for wages. At the words "arrest him , " all sprang forward , nnd Sampson was disarmed und bound. Mrs. Sampson was locked in the storehouse with n loaded shot gun , which she surrendered on demand. Taking the provisions on the scow the party returned to Fort George , where they arrived next night , Sampson being do- liveredlto the Hudson Bay company officer and kept under guard until a warrant and poHco'urrlvdd. The case will bo tried hoforo ex-Governor Cornwalllocal judge at Quoens- nello , this week. If the doctor pronounces Sampson sane and responsible for his < actions. t Iloat Life HuttloMinku llomanco. A camping-out party of boys who have been spending a week's outlng up the Sun river returned to Great Falls , Mont. , and pave an account of their adventure with a rattlesnake , which shows that although they were only lads they were not lacking in couraRf ) , presence of mind and knowledge. The party consisted of Ed Pontot , Carroll Pontot , Ueed Bywatcr , a son. of Superin tendent Bun-Ill of Sand Coulee am ) n boy named McLaln , a stop-son of II. G , Klenzo , and their ages ranged between 9 nnd 15 years. They had gpno out for a week's flsh- ing and camping trip during the vacation and bad a good time , as boys will. Ono evening when playing near their camp Burrlll picked up what ho thought was n pleco of rope lying in the grass , but which proved to bo a rattlesnake. Before the lad discovered his mistake the venomous reptile bit him on the finger. Under these alarming circumstances the boys heldji council and quickly decided on i the proper thing to clo. A string wns tied [ tightly nround the bitten llncor both above nml below tbo spot where the fangs of thu snalio had entered , and the MeLuIn boy volunteered to suck the poison tout of the wound. This ho did so thorougfily nnd ef fectually that no serious effects Have since I been experienced from the bite. Y IX The boys certainly deserve great praise for their coolness under the circumstances , and the promptitude with which they teen the right means to avert the deadly consequences quences of the snake bite. They were only boys in years , but they demonstrated by 'their prompt courage and coolness in nn emergency that they already IKJSSCSS the luinly qualities of bravo men. It Is safe to predict that they will make good American citizens some day. J letter tlnin ttlol ii. The lodga of Belgium black , marble re cently discovered by M. D.

The fortunate discoverer has already refused a hona fide offer of $20,000 for the property , Tlio lodge is situated on n forty-nlno-acro tract of land for whlrh Mr. Couway paidSOO about a year ago , nnd is only ilfty feet from the Uolumblii river. During the past two weeks it has becrt developed sufticiuntly to show that the formation is very perfect , nnd that its ex tent Is almost unlimited , as there is appar outly u whole mountain of tha valuable stuff , It is proposed to forward a number of large specimens to Now York to bo tested by ox > perls thero.

Some of the Indians have tumbled to nn- other scheme which results to the benefit of tholr stomachs. Among the soldiers at Fort Mcado are a number ot Indians and strange ns it may seem they have relatives nt the Sioux agencies. Thcso relatives have found Itconvenlont to visit the Indian soldiers nt Fort Moadc , and not long ago forty-nine of them were enjoying the hospitality ot the army ofllcors at Fort Mcado. When not en gaged In eating they would visit with tholr army brethren , The visiting Indians gave a grass dance for the amusement of the of ficers , and nt its conclusion the announce ment was made that rations would bo issued to them from the military stores. This an- nouncomcnt Is said to have brought forth many approved grunts of satisfaction from the visitors. If Indian shrewdness can bo Judged.aright the army officers will discover in the near future that almost every in dividual member of the Sioux nation hns relatives among the Indian soldiers ut the post , and that thcso alleged relatives will visit the fort la crowds for the "eating there Is In it. " ( lolit nnd Iron. Some prospecting work hns boon carried on all winter on the Iron properties of the Como Iron , Coal and Land company , nnd n very promising gold strlko has been mndo bdtwcon the iron and overlying porphyry wall , says the Como Record. The character of the ere Is a decomposed oxide of iron , nnd from assays nnd mill tests is worth from 810 to f-IO per ton. A sample assayed by E. E. Burlmgnmo of Denver uavo a result of 40.5 ounces of gold rnd 17.3 ounces silver per ton. Total value , 8824.70. This sample was taken out of n "potted deposit" nnd could not bo considered average ore. but demonstrates the fact that there Is gold in sight. These- Iron claims nro at the head of Tarryall chnn- neil , now successfully worked for the entire distance from the Peabody placer near Ham ilton to the Liebelt placer below and adjoin ing these mines , and thcso Iron properties are evidently the fountain head nnd source of the millions of gold mined in Turryall dis trict since their discovery. An Important Land Derision. Judge Sloan disposed of a very Important land grant case In the district court which involved 100,000 acres. The suit was brought by the government against the owners of the Cnlabasas grant , in Pima county , Arizona , to restrain the owners from fencing in certain portions of the grant. The defendants made a motion to dissolve the injunction , claiming that they had vested rights , and that the government had no right to assort the prerogative of public domain over the property in question , Judge Sloan sustained the motion and dis missed the suit of the government.

The Philadelphia Times does not believe that there is any known herb , drug or line of action that will prevent seasick ness if you once start in on that dis agreeable path , but there are many things that help to ward off an attack which will indeed prove of value to those who dread so much the crossing of the great Atlantic or Pacific ferries. It is advisable before ono starts on such a voyage to bo particularly careful as to their diet. On the first day out keep as much upon the foot as possible and do not bo tempted to eat too heavily < , oi the numerous palatable dishes that will bo Hot before you. Walking up and down the deck continuously Is advised by many by arguing that ono moro quickly becomes used to the motion of the vessel in this oxoreiso , and the fatigue which it in- uluces bringd the muoa-noodod sloop. But it is useless to wear one's self out hoping to stave oil the fooling of nausea if it once attacks you. Lemons are most grateful to persons in this-stage , and there is no better settler of an unruly stomach than iced champagno. If you do not feel inclined to oat do not force yourself to go to the table , for it is ton chances to ono that the very sight ol food will make you retire ignominiously from the festive board. A wall known medical man declares that fifteen grains of sulphate of quinine taken from two tc four hours hoforo nailing will prevent all feeling of seasickness , even to a most Bonnitivo subject. 'Whether this applies in all canes wo have no way of ascertain ing , but jt is simple enough to bo fol lowed out , and if it proves helpful is worth all of the confidence such an au thority places in it.

CHICAGO , 111. , July 9. [ Special to TUB BRE. ] "I'm nil fftggod out. Lot's KO In Old Vlennn.1'- That Is what you hoar ovcry llttlo whllo down along the Midway ttmo dog days. It vrns not until recently they began to appro- clnto the odd old Austrian village , partly per haps , owing to Ita out-of-tho-wixy location , almost at the extremes west end of the plals- nnco , a hundred yards beyond the glgantlo re volving heni ) of Iron that rears Itself skyward above the counterfeit Qrubon , last ot all the shows on the south ot the strcot but Da homey. The tlrod man's Mecca now Is Alt Wlon. Moreover , It is fashionable. The Hlgglnbothams , the Palmers , the Hobart Chutflold-lbUM'aylors nnd others in our sot consider It quite the thing to take sup per in Vienna. It is n restful place , n picturesque spot ; its Nloratolnor nnd Sjjrlt- zchton travel down the throat with a relish , its Austrian importations of barmaids are pretty women nnd excellent waitresses , Its music ranks with the boat insldo the gates , for Koppolraelstor Carl Kclncr's fame Is bounded , not oven by the municipal limits of Vienna herself. Kmneror Franz Josef considers him n great artist , nnd his music justlflcs the imperial endorsement in the es timation of the critics. The Columbian march ho composed , which was discoursed by the band on July 4 , is a pronounced suc cess. Lieutenant Maicus Braun ot the Aus trian army , hero In the capacity of nnwspapcr correspondent , was bright enough to copyright the march nnd will reap the bonoflts. But the inspirited march and the inspiriting beverages of Alt Wion are not its only charms. Thii student of the antlquo can find much to interest him , for what more ancient treas ures would ho care to see than the portraits of Grecians unearthed in the tombs of a small city near Jerusalem , placed there with the mummies about SOD B. C. , something near the time the Greeks invaded Egyptt Does the painter of toduy dcslro any better pportunlty to study the lost art by which hose portraits stand out in colors as vivid s upon the day the brush was applied , more iian twenty-one centuries ago ? There seems be not the least doubt of the genuineness f thcso treasures. There Is also exhibited ere a papyrus declared to bo the oldest ex- ant , some portions of which are missing , tut upon its face appearing enough Greek haractcrs to decipher that at one time was vritton there part of Zacharlah , from the Jld Testament. There are moro priceless ollcs nnd rare nntlquos scattered all about ho Austrian villages , In many cases loaned > y royal personages. There' * Poetry In It. As wo sat nt the table in a recess of the quaro while pretty Lena , the barmaid Just irrived from Austria , was unloading a tray 'rom the cafo's tempting store end trilling a Hungarian carol , the contrast of the situa tion struck us forcibly. Hero -was this inclont'Vionneso city In miniature , sot down n Chicago right bcnoath the shadow of the monster Ferris wheel the shadows of long ago and the 'acme of the most daring modern iclenco sldo by sldo. Over across the way .ho graceful white minarets of Egypt and of Turkey aro'dimly outlined against the red ; loams of the setting sun. The poetry of It s almost thrilling while the soft strains of 3arl Zehrer's orchestra issue forth , and then a voice from the "cheap section" of the village sings out lustily , "zwol bier , " the greasy Arab next ddor pounds on his bight- nnro tom-tom , and the .poetry is all gono. Back in Chicago again. Old Vienna Is said to be a historically cor rect counterfeit of the Graben as it ap peared about the time of the Turkish in vasion. Whether it Is or no Is another matter. It certainly doesn't conform to the Idea an artist has transferred to a canvas , now displayed in the Austrian section of the FinoArts palaco. Yet it is doubtless as nearly accurate as the architect could know. Nearly every bit of the material was brought hero from Austria Mr. Braun says The builders have certainly endeavored to follow out the uniformly ancient design , which is carried out ovoi. to the numerous shops and bazaars , which nro managed so as not to mar the antiquity. A mammoth Viennese , fat -and handsome and big-mus- tachod , stands sentry at the gate in an opera bouffo costume. Ho rests Immovably on a long spear , quite statuosquo. A woman went up to him the other day nnd squeezed his arm to see If ho was wax. He grunted and waxed familiar. The woman shrieked and waxed fast with her feet. 80 the Itlnrney Stone Is llogat , According to authority no loss eminent than the owner of Blarney castle himself , spenklng through the columns of the Lon don Times , Lady Aberdeen's much-touted blarney stone in her Midway Plaisanco Irish village , llko the duplicate Blarney castle , is after all only nn imitation a horrible delu sion , an nbomlnublo fake. When I ques tioned the genuineness of the alleged section of the original Blarney stone n few weeks ago it was with no confident belief that the truth would crop to light. Tlio stone has boon advertised extravagantly ns a portion of the sure-enough stone , nnd employed to collar the nimble nlcklo from the credulous visitor. Some very intelligent people Eu gene Field , for instance had been induced to take stock in Lad / Abordeon's counterfeit stono. The noble Irish woman is doubtless actuated by charitublo . impulses ; in her efforts to make tbo Irish village a remunera tive Institution , yet it does seem ns if she wore making an overdraft uxm | the proverb , "Charity covers a multitude of sins. " It is no less an imposition because a titled lady is coyntcrmnulng it. And yet people will continue to perform osculation upon the greasy surface of the sham bit of rock , for a nominal consideration , nnd go away in bnppj contemplation of tlioir ability'to toll tlioii neighbors they had tjcon there. While mentioning this it occurs to * me that ( ho press of Chicago has given nc prominence to the discovery of the Blarnoj stone fake , thouirli Its arrival was duly awl graphically chronicled. But one nowspapci hinted at it. This may romforco the alloga lion of Mrs. Ernest Hart , who has also t worthv enterprise in competition with Ladj Aberdeen , that her Irish village is boiiif boycotted in Chicago. J > ln. Hurt certain gets very little space In the local press , ii contrast with Ludy Aberdeen's show , ivbou which much Is said th.ut is good , und nothinf that could bo construed us unfavorable prlt icism. Mrs. Hart's village is fully as mcr itorlous an unturprlso as that under the pro tcctorato of thowifo of Canada's now governor ornor general , CunoeMlonnlrcft Clieerlcm , In occasional conversation with the pi a Is ance concession owners ono Is assured wltl unbroken unanimity that thny uro all run Nothing but Dirt. is taken away by Pearline , It \Von't ' make black white it gives you a clean black , instead of a dirty black , - , = \ that's ' all.

The concessionaires nro naturally rebellious , nun have mndo much loud talk nbout rofuslng to turn over the directory's share of receipts.

Few poopio in this country imagine what torrlblo work n volcano of the reg ulation size can do wlu i it once gets fully aroused , says the Philadelphia Press. In 1838 Coiopa.xl throw its flory rockets moro than 3,000 feet above the orator , und in 1857 when the blazing mass confined in the same mountain was struggling for an outlet it roared BO loud that tho-uwful noise was hoard for a distance of (100 ( miles. In 181)7 ) the orator of Tunguragun , ono of tbo greatest puaks of the Andes , Hung out torrents of mud and lava , which dammed up a great river , opened now lakes besides making a deposit of sooth ing mud , ashes and lava COO foot deep over the whole area of a valley which was twenty miles long and averaged 1000 foot in width. The stream of lava which flowed from Vesuvius in 1837 and passed through the valley of Terre del Greco is estimated to have contained 333,000,000 , cubic foot of solid matter. In 1700 JEtna poured out a flood of molted stones and ashes which covered eighty-four square miles of fertile coun try to a depth of from ten to forty foot. On this occasion the sand , scoria , lava , etc. , from the burning mountain formed Mount Rosini , a peak two miles in cir- foronco and over 4,000 feet high. In the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 A. D. , thotimoof the destruction of Pompeii , the scoria , ashes , sand and lava vomited forth far exceeded the en tire bulk of the volcano itself , while in 16GO"Etna disgorged over twenty times its own mass. Vesuvius has sent its ashes into Syria , Egypt and Turkey. It hurled stones of 800 pounds weight to Pompeii , a dis tance of six English miles , during the eruption of 79 , A. D. Cotopaxi once projected a block of stone containing over 100 cubic yards a distance of nine and a half miles. Antes moved to 1017 Farnam.
