An extraordinary dlscovsry of gold has bceu
made ot Carlisle , fllty miles trom here , say )
a l rd uurg ( N. M , ) , dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle. Heporti of rich flnd * .
which at first were thought to ha exaggerated ,
are being confirmed and the greatest excite
ment prevails. Prospectors are rushing In
from alt parts of New Mexico and Arizona ,
and news of the strike Is being carried along
the line of the Southern I'aclflc.
Carlisle has dc\eloped Into a bustling com *
munlty of 300 mlncri , busy ( or miles around
on tlie mountains I'owder , merchandise , pro-
Ualons and supplies of every description arc
being sent to Duncan , where they arc carried
by stage o\er a rough road fourteen miles to
Carlisle.
"
A few weeks ago an unusual movement to
ward tlis cimp was noticed. Occasional small
shipments ot ore , some of which assa > ed as
high as $1 a pound , were sent through to
Doming and ii I'aso , and an effort to ke.'p
the matter quiet gave spur to the excitement
Gradually the presence of miners In the camp
became known and Carlisle promises to ovtr-
shadow any mining cxcltinent of recent years.
Those who have come down from the camp
ay that the discoveries of gold far exceed
the wildest expectations , and they declare that
Rome of the prospectors have been quietly
working for years , and have sunk shafts to
o depth of over 100 feet , discovering ctc-p
tlonally rich ore. It Is said that flfty mines
have been located , showing remarkably good
nssajs , and hardly n day passes that some
new find Is not reported and the excitement
Increases.
The first reports were discredited , but now
the Htorlcs receive confirmation at every turn
und this added flame to excitement , and
every Indication points to a m'nlng boom wl h-
out a parallel In the history ot the territory.
LUCKY MINKHS.
Two prospectors from AValla Walla have
in ado a lucUy strike on the Snake river ,
below the mouth of the Salmon , about forty
miles from this city , says a Lcwlston ( Wash. )
dispatch to the Spokane Spokesman-ltevlew.
They wcro on the trail over which hundreds
of gold hunters have passed every year since
1SGL' , when they became- Interested In some
"good looking" gravel that was uncovered by
a washout. They panned out some of the
dirt and got a prospect of 2f cents a pan
\ They then sut up a rocker at the rUcr , forty
feet away , nnd oni > carried the dirt In a gunny
f'j sack whllu the other washed vigorously for
the balance of the day , about four hours. They
cleaned up at night and were surprised to
find such n largo amount of yellow metal
They had such a largo amount that they could
not bello\c it was gold , so they hastened to
Lewlston to have It tested , They timidly
ofTereJ It for sale , and wcro again surprised
to have It accepted without doubt as to what
It was. They secured $15 ( or the result ot
the afternoon's work.
NERVY INDIANS.
The sale of land In the I'uyalltip Indian
resorvatlon , under the direction of the gov
ernment was begun , says a Tacoma dispatch
to the San Francisco Examiner , despite the
protests of a largo number of Indians , who
threaten to make trouble It any ot the pur
chasers of the land attempt to take pos
session. The I'uyallup Indians arc recog
nized by a decision ot the United States cir
cuit court as citizens , and they exercise all
the rights of such , with the single exception
that land on their resorvatlon H held In
trust for them by the government , the In
dians only being allowed to enter Into a lease
of them for a. period not to exceed two years.
Great dissatisfaction exists among them on
this account , and when the &alo of lands
began a nquad of redskins announced pub
llcly that the whites had better not buy the
land. John Laclalre , ono of the chiefs , said1
"The land belongs to us The White rather
gave It to the IndHns ; these men COTIO out
here to sell It when wo don't want them to.
Wo want to bo lot alone. Wo are Good In
dians. If wo want to sell the lands , wo will
sell , but the government says no. It the
government wants to sell the lands and we
cay no , the government pays It will sell any
how. The Indians don't like that. No man
can take the lands If ho buys ; the Indians
say so. Wo give fair warning to men who
buy to keep off the lands and away from the
reservation. "
GOOD SHEEP COUNTRY.
While In the past cattle raising has been
considered ot leading Importance In the stock
Interests ot this part of South Dakota , sheep
are beginning to become a largo factor , says
s. I'lerre dispatch to the Sioux Falls Argus-
if Leader. In the days of the "sheep bo < > sj"
ift of flvo years ago a number wcro brought In
t regardless ot the high price of about $4 per
head. So many wcro rushed Into this sec
tion that the price rapidly declined , and this
decline was yet more marked when the free
wool discussion frightened the sheep men. A
conservative estimate of the number of sheep
In this portion of the state Is 50,000 head.
This N an Increase of about GO per cent In
; he past two years , of whloh about 30 per cent
has been natural Increase and the other 20
per cent new flocks brought In. The range
3f prices has been from $4 per head five
years ago to $1.50 a head two years ago ,
nhllc at present the prlco Is about $2.50 pur
bead. The advance Is considered by flock-
masters to bo almost exclusively on mutton ,
following the advance of the prlco of beef.
The average wool clip on the ranges of this
tectlon Is about six pounds per fleece , and ( or
last year the average price received was
t2' { . cents per pound , but a slight advance Is
expected for this year's clip.
NIGGER CREEK MINES.
There Is no abatement In the excitement
here over the Nigger creek mines , says a
Leavenworth ( Wash , ) dispatch to the Spo
kane Spokesman-Review , and the mountains
In that section swarm with men cmraced In
a wild rush to secure claims. Since the new
Ufo began at least ono discovery has been
made which gives promise of proving1 to be
the equal of the Ontario mine. It was made
by G , N. Watson , an old-time prospector ,
and a gentleman well Known hero. The ore
which he exhibits Is an exact counterpart In
appearance of tlfat shipped to St. Louis , and
Mr. Watson says there Is a big body of It.
PaW The discovery Is In a rather conspicuous
place , and hag probably been passed over
W JL thousand times before It was located.
A shipment of 300 pounds of ore from the
N'lgger creek mines has been madeto Balls
& Co. ot Seattle , who. will Immediately for
ward the ore to Frleburg , Germany , for
tnalysls. It Is belntf shipped at the Instance
at W. J. Ulley , secretary of the Negro Creek
Nickel and Copper Mining company , who Is
himself well versed In mineralogy and Is a
civil and mining engineer ot considerable
ability. Rlley says bis object In sending
tlio ore to Europe Is to gain moro accurate
Information about cobalt , this metal being
ono oft which very little Is known by the
iverage miner and can be treated by but few
inalyslsts in the world. Mr. Rlley says there
ire but four places where cobalt can be suc
cessfully treated Frleburg , Germany ; Swan
sea , Wales ; Newark , N. J , . and Keast St.
Louis , 111. It requires a different furnace
from other metals , and Its scarcity dees
not justify the erection of many smelters
that can handle it.
While there Is universal good fetllng over
returns from St. Louis , there Is suspicion In
tha minds of some , so deeply seated that It
cannot b9 eradicated , that the ore should
have yielded much more than was reported.
Every assay and test of small quantities
htvs shown larger returns , the nickel In
many Instances running as high as. 16 per
tent and the cobalt reaching 6 or 7 per cent.
GLITTER , 11UT NOT GOLD.
The schooner Zelma ot Tacoma Is back
from Alaska with a party of unsuccessful
goldhunters , who became disgusted with the
project because head winds and stormy
weather for six weeks : prevented them from
netting further north than Queen Charlotte
Bound , lay a a Port Towniend dispatch to the
San Francisco Examiner. On the way back ,
at Roblnson'i Light , II. C. . they found , three
men nearly starved to death. The latter
w r going to the Slceena river gold mines in
a 'null elocp. At night they anchored and
wont ashore to sleep. A itorm came on
and blew their craft out to lea and destroyed
all their provisions. Ono of the men took a
small skirt and started for the mainland ,
twenty-five miles distant , for aid. He has
teen gone a fortnight and Is supposed to
ave been drowned. The otber castaways
ere taken to Vancouver.
GOOD FOR ARIZONA.
It li reported here , says a Denver dispatch
o the San Francisco Examiner , that the re-
ult of the goternment Inspection In Spain of
IB Peralta-Renvls Arizona grant Is that the
lalm and documents arc frauds. The Per-
lU-Keavls grant Is a claim made under a
aronlal grant by the Spanish government to
0.000,000 acres of the choicest land In Arl-
ona. The land lies In the Salt river valley ,
overlng most of the reservation of the Yuma
nd Marlcopi Indians , and the town of Phoe-
Ix , the capital of the territory , lies almost
n Its center. The grant , It was claimed , was
mdo to a certain Haron Pcralta by the Span-
ih crown In the days while Mexico was still
province of Spain , and It Is now b lng
ushed before the court of claims of Santa
"e by the descendants of the old Peralta. It
tas not been very long since the parties
lalmlng title to the grant were offering lander
or sale In tracts to suit settlers.

Secret of Ills Success.
( Cop ) right , 1S3J. )
It was my good fortune , to be thrown a
oed deal with M. Mace once , and I remember
I in and some ot his methods well. In ap-
earance ho was a small , fair man , with a
illd , thoughtful ejc , a sott voice , and a
entle , unassuming , and yet persuasive man-
er. He might have been an Inventor or a
lathcmatlclan , possibly a schoolmaster , fore
o was a little pedantic , and liked to put ono
Ight with one's French whenever Idiom or
renunciation went astray. His favorite cos-
ume was the decorous suit of black and the
hlte tic ot the French officer of Justice ,
re were times when ho assumed dls-
ulsc , and he could do It with the best , but
Isgulses are much less used by detectives
han Is commonly supposed.
M. Mace was an Indefatigable worker ; at
Is office In 'hose days , In a corner ot the
alais de Justice , early and late , coming
generally at 7 a. m. , nnd remaining often
111 10 , 11 , even 12 o'clock at night , unless
e was called away , for It Is the rule In Paris
vhen any great crime has been committed
o summon the chef de la pureto without
clay , and the chief himself , ( or obvious
easons , Is anxious to bo early on the scene
f the catastrophe.
But otherwise ho seldom lett the Palais
xccpt to go home , where he always took his
nenls as a rule a short hour for breakfast
nd the same for dinner sufficed ; he was a
cry domestic little man , loved the coin du
eu. Even then ho was within easy reach
f the Prefecture , and was ready to go round
.t any hour , day or night , whenever ho was
ent for. '
MACE'S DAILY ROUTINE.
1 have sat with M. Mace through the day
n his little bureau , hung 'round with relics
nd reminiscences of crimes , the sort of
hlng to be seen any day at the Black
iiuscum In Scotland yard. His first business
tas the simple routine duties. Inspecting
'states ' , " reading the return of any arrests
nade during the previous twenty-four hours ,
'hen he scanned the whole of the morning
inpers for Items ot police news ; where they
tent too far ho liked to put them , where
hey were still In the dark he found tt con-
cnlent sometimes to enlighten. Every after-
Teen , by the way , he gave an Interview to
ress men ; tt paid him well to give his own
account of whatever was going. The morn-
ng's correspondence v\as next disposed of ; a
engthy affair , for all manner of people write
o the chef de surete , seeking his advice or
nterventlon , sometimes offering it to assist
n the detection of still undiscovered crimes
Every country has Its amateur detectives
and very olllclous and wearisome they some-
Imcs prove to the professional police officer.
Then came his morning levee There were
nany waiting for Interviews , but they had
lot to wait long , nor , when once admitted ,
vere they suffered to waste much of his tlmn.
sat with him through one of these levees
and greatly admired the tact and promptitude
with which ho dispatched the morning's busl-
ness
SOME OF MACE'S VISITORS.
First mother and son appeared. They
lad been haggling over a sum of money , the
jroceeds of a small Inheritance which they
night to have divided ; now they came to say
.hey have so agreed. "Ca tranche la ques-
: lon , " the Incident is ended , "Good morning. "
Sfow a sub. , the confidential clerk , a fox-
laired youth with weak eyes , brings up a
small brown paper parcel. "One moment ,
ilcase , " says M. Mace as he deftly loosens
the strings Inside was a shirt , the missing
Ink in a chain. Mace declares on finding It
marked with certain Initials , "Put It with
the other pieces a conviction ; that completes
the evidence What next ? "
A typical thief.
A prisoner who has been caught rd-handed
about dawn in an apartment not his own , and
with stolen property on him. He is a re
spectable , harmless looking youth.
"And what makes you a thlet ? " the chef
asked him sharply. "You cannot be in
want ? "
The lad , who Is in good clothes and carries
a shiny hat , hangs his head.
"Well , how did you get It ? " proceeds the
Interrogator. "By force. "
"No , with a false key. "
"Of what kind ? " and M. Mace points to a
series of photographs on the walls , represent
ing all known varieties ot fnlse keys.
"That , " answers the accused , nolntlng with
out hesitation.
The key Itself was In the hands of the
police ; why try to withhold Information ?
"Who else was In the Job ? "
"No "
one.
"Bah what Is your trade or calling ? Been
convicted before ? Where , when , for what ?
Sentence six months ?
"Father alive ? "
"Yea. "
"Mother ? "
"No step-mother , Mme. La Bellemcro Is
outside. "
"Well , let her come In. "
A WEEPING MOTHER.
A lady , or a very good Imitation
of one , well but showily dressed ,
entered. She was overwhelmed with
grief and began at OUCH to upbraid her step
son , whom she sees now for the first time
since his arrest. Then she attacked the
chef , Imploring his clemency.
"The lad Is not really mediant ; ho means
well ; he has been led Into this by evil as
sociates ; ho is.a . good , honest youth. "
"And yet h'e has a previous conviction
against him , madame. "
"True , " she replied , a little disconcerted ,
"but he was a victim then , as now. "
"What Is his trade ? "
"Ho "
Is a
"Typographe , " the youth Interposed hur
riedly , evidently afraid his step-mother
might make some mistake.
"Indeed ? " the chef said dryly , as he caught
tbo aid's hand and examined his thumb and
forefinger.
They were black , but with tobacco Juice ,
not printer's Ink. "I must know who else
was In this , " Insisted tbo stern official.
"Tako him away. "
"Now , madame , " he went on , when the
accused had been removed , "will you tell me
who were the other parties ? "
Instead of replying frankly , she had re
course to a woman's vvecponb tears and en
treaties , declaring that they are people of
good position , respected In their quartlcr ,
that they will be overwhelmed with shame
and disgrace by tha scandal of this thing.1
"That's all very likely , " said M. Mace ,
coldly , "but I am an official functionary ; I
have to deal with justice , not with family
affairs , " and ho was about to bow her out.
"If I only knew who " he added tentatively ,
with his hand on the door knob , "If I only
knew who else was In the robbery , your
step-son might get off. "
"I can tell you , " she now cried excitedly.
"Ah ! A woman , no doubt , a bad woman.
I was sure of It. And her name Is "
"I can not quite remember , but she lives ,
or Is to ba heard of , at the Brasserie Cochin
Chlnn , Rue des Carronfieurs. I will find out
exactly and I will come again. Meanwhile
you will take every care of my poor boy ? "
"Of that you may rest assured , " replied the
chef with a meaning smile , and presently the
youth Is marched off to Mazaa.
RECOVERY OF 60.000 FRANCS ,
A gentleman well dressed , well-to-do , wai
tha next caller , a little nervous and shame
faced , perhaps , but nothing of tha criminal
about him. He had the misfortune to lose a
large sum In bank notes 50,000 francs worth ,
He had dropped them , left them behind him ,
forgotten them. Where ? Somewhere , any
where he could not rnnetnber. He Is rather
Incoherent ; his story Is confused and contra
dictory. When questioned tils statements
vary , all but the one ( act of his loss.
"They were not stolen , I suppose ? " the
chef asked with a keen look ,
"I cannot say ; I think I dropped them , "
"Where and how did you carry them ? "
"In my breast pocket. "
"In a purse ? "
"No , wrapped In a parcel In paper news ,
paper "
"Really ! 50.000 francs In a piece of old
newspaper extraordinary ! "
"You do not disbelieve my story , I suppose1
the applicant cxcla'med ' with some Indigna
tion.
"Certainly not ; Monsieur's assertion Is
lore than sufficient. Still " M M c
gave a significant glance toward the pile eton
on the table. Just then there were
wo loud knocks In succession at the door-
plain hint that otber visitors were growing
iipatlent.
"At least , tell me what I had better do. "
"Advertise , put It about. Say when and
vrn here you had the notes last. Offer an ample
n ward. "
The poor man went off nnd the chef turned
> mo , muttering significantly , "Miuvals
rux , " a plain bint as to his net Ion when
nd where the notes had disappeared.
But this easily aroused professional sutpl-
c on was In this case misplaced , as the sequel
I howed. The notes , still In their stringe
? over , were actually dropped upon the Grands
oulevards. The bulky parcel attracted the
nb of three gay roldlers , who made a foot
nP of It ( or some hundred yards along the
P avements. Then one of thorn picked It up
a nd secreted It unobserved In a comrade's
laversack. The unconscious possessor of
2,000 was on his way home on a short ( ur-
ough , and did not open his haversack , but
reaching his father's cottage at Nuellly
hrew It on a shelf. There It lay unnotlctd
or several da > .s ; at length It was opened
one of the family and the treasure re-
'faled. ' They here honest folk , these
'retich peasants , and they wer ? anxious to
'fstore the money to Its rightful owners ,
nd went to the nearest official a brig idler
f gendarmes who examlnM the notes.
Ho found the name of a Parisian broker
m ono ot the notes to whom ho at once tele
raphed
The story ot the lost notes had been men-
oned in the papera and the news of their re-
invery was quickly communicated to the
oscr , who hastened to Nurllly by the first
rain. It Is but fair to add that he give
he peasants a handsome reward.
WORKING ON PRISONERS.
Not the least Important part of the French
ctectlve's duties Is the preparation of cases
or his judge's Instructions , the stern official
who Interrogates every accused person , and
t Is to be feared , generally considers a man
; ullty until he can prove his Innocence. The
: hef de la surete has , therefore , access to
11 accused and visits them regularly In
rlson , first In a friendly wsy to talk over
he whole affair. I went with M Mace one
Monday to Mazas and accompanied him to
evoral cells. We stayed longest with a sus-
ccted murderer who was afterward cxe-
: uted but against whom there was nothing
ut circumstantial evidence. The Judge piled
I in hard to obtain a confession , or at least
dmlsslons , but without success. Now M
lace came with one of his skillful assistants
0 have a chat. Chairs were placed for us
n the cell , the prisoner was requested with
inch courtesy to be seated , the chef brought
ut his cigar case , which was handed around
nd we nil settled down quite good friends
The detective agent let mo call him
\dbemar was a curious creature n great ,
Ig , portly man. In a responsible looking
rock coat , In which was the red ribbon , his
at was as broad brimmed as n Quaker's.

: oarsc featured , with a long nose and dull
tagn.mt eyes , but the most Jovial , open-
icnrtcd manner possible. He had , as M
lace said , 1' air st honasse. He seemed
uch a simpleton. In fact , that no one could
ave Imagined he was playing n part. But
c was acting all through ; did all the talking ,
nd In the most dramatic way proceeded to
ell Gllles exactly how he had committed the
rime.
"You had often seen the old lady. You
knew she had economics ; where she kept the
inagot ( property ) , > ou watched your oppor-
.unlty , frequently i.ssslng tn nnd fro up and
down the street Adbemar stealthily piced
he cell. "One evening she was alone In
ho kitchen , stirring the pot an feu ; her back
. was toward you ; you crept up to her" Ad-
bomar acted the stealthily movement across
he cell "You stood behind her thus ; you
ralseJ your hand , armed with a cleaver , and
struck down with all jour force , crlc cruc
she fell dead heln ? Wasn't that it , ch ? "
Adbcmar turned suddenly on Glllos to sec
ho effect of his words , hoping that he had
ivorked him up to the last pitch ot excitement
and that surely ho would let pome unguarded
\prewlon escape. Wo were watching Gllles
closely , and once , as though the scene wore
again before him , I saw In his eye the first
symptom of a shiver , a start Involuntary ,
but Immediately suppressed.
By the time Adbcmar turned ho had re
covered hla Belt-possession now ho only
shook his head and smiled vaguely. Ho was
not to be caught that day.
TURNING ROGUE TO CATCH A ROGUE.
There were many trusted subordinates then
as now , who were ready to ( ace any discom
fort , run any rlslu , to compass an arrest
Whllo we wcro patiently going ; the rounds
of the night houses nnd were seeking suicide
by trying the villainous brandy sherries at
the drink shop ot the once notorious Pero
Lunette , once ono of tha lowest and vilest
haunts In Para | , a man in a blue blouse and
a fiat silk cap , a voyou of the most for
bidding aspect , came up and fraternized even
to the extent of following us Into the street ,
Importuning. My conductor , one of M
Mace's chief assistants , laughed afterward
when we broke away.
"He does It well. That Is our Jules ; he
will go far. He has been here In this
lounge , this Infamous quarter , three weeks
It Is an Intricate case but he Is on the brink
of something Interesting. "
I asked If this was often done.
"It Is most necessary at times , " replied my
Informant , Bcltraud , an old soldier , who still
retained erect military carriage and was
always punctiliously neat In his appearance ,
yet he once went through all the Inconven'
iencc of a fortnight's Imprisonment , asso
ciated with a well known ruffian who had a
secret which Bcltraud wished to worm oui
of htm.
"How did you like It ? " I Inquired.
"Not much. I could not stomach the food
my cell companion , however , disposed o ;
most of that. "
"Tho deprivation of tobacco , too , was awful ,
only I sometimes got a whiff at the reception
when I went down to have s slight talk with
the Instructing judge. The chief warde
managed that for me. He was the only one
In the secret , and stood by me when the
ward officer wished to force mo to go to exer
else In the general yard. Why , there were
dozens of prisoners who would have known
mo by sight. "
"And did you find out what you wanted ?
"Yes , yes. He confided the whole secrete
to me. You should have seen his face when
1 was put Into the box to give evidence. II
had still stoutly denied the one fact to wblcl
I could now swear. Although ho was taken
aback when taxed with It 'I've been sold ,
betrayed , by that accursed pal I met In
prison.1 But when the presiding Judge askei
me my name and quality , and I replied
'Deltraud. Inspccteur de la police do turet
de Paris,1 It was all over. 'I chuck It's m
good,1 and ho made a clean breast of the
whole thing. " ALFRED AYLMER.
