THE OMAHA DAILY BEEcilMONDAY , APRIL 13 , 1891. 5 PLUCK AND FAITH OF MINERS , Characteristics Illustrated by a Story from Wyoming POVfRTY FLAT CAMP LIVING ON HOPE , Waiting for tlio Knrth to Olvo Up Its Treasures A Mountain Strike Colorntto's Now Gold J'lClllB. \Vhnt thnt indomltahln pluck and unswerv ing fnlthso characteristic of miners will fiornoUrnm brlngUom to , h well illustrated by n story thnt eoraos from Laramle , Wyo. , concerning u Httlo mining camp not far fj-om that rlty. According to the Republican , a man who recently had occasion to visit the camp reports the residents ns being In straightened , not to say desperate clrdira- stances. The name of the camp Is suppressed because - cause of the pluck of these who still cling 'o ' U , who do not seek notoriety nor nsk assist- nnco , but It mny bo called "Pov crty tint , " bocau o that name fits It better than any Other , Thirteen years ago discoveries were made thcro that caused great excitement , nnd , as wni often the cane then , In n short tlmo a miniature city with hotels , halls , saloons , etc. , sprung pp In the heart of the mountain * . Stamp mills wcro erected and sot to work , mining properties were bonded nnd heavy companies formed to develop the ro'ourccs of the rich region around Poverty Flat. But the boom collapsed In less than two years , the popula tion gradually deserted the camp nnd nftor Repeated attempts to revive Interest In It , It was abandoned by overt these who had staked tholr all In Its success , Durine n recent storm n man who had known the camp In Its prosperous days took refuge. For n week ho enjoyed the hos pitality of these hapless jwoplo. Ho found nil but ono family without supplies such as tea , sugar , cofToo nnd other things considered ns among the necessities of life , micro was not n sack of Hour In the whole camp. In Ins circuit about the place before ruacmng nnd nfter leaving It ho did notsco a Jack rabbit or n sign of game or any sort. There was no meal of any kind to bo had in Poverty Flat. Ho pu'suines that they do tnnnngo to find n rabbit onro In awhile , but the country sur rounding thu catnn Is so poor It would not support u coyote and thcro Is not ono so bold as to vcnturo Into It. The snmo man visited the c.unp ono dav last summer and counted nineteen dogs. Ho savs ho did not see ono this timo. Although ho traveled for miles In every direction around the camp he did not sot ) n living thing except a 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 ho had loft. Yet these people cling to the hope that Borne day they will wrest from earth its treasures. They nro frco of caie , happy nnd contented dcsplto tholr poverty and priva tion. They havo. never appealed to the county or IMo state for aid and they never will. Some day fortune will smllo on them nnd.givo thorn their deserts , they will strike it rich where others fulled , nnd wo shall hear of millionaires from Poverty Flat. IjiiprovoinontH and IMaiiH. The Senator mlno , near Dumont , Colo. , Will shortly erect n concentrating plivut , Which will hnvo a capacity of llfty tons of ere cor clay. This mtno has big bodies of concentrating ere , which have boon opened up by moans of n crosscut tunnel and cut the vein nt n grent depth. Drifting from the crosscut has boon started both wnys on the vein. With n concentrntlug plant on Its own ground , the Senator mlno Is expected to become - como ono of the heaviest producers iu Morris district. A new plant of machinery Is being placet ! on the Good Thunder , No. 'J , mlno nt Aspen , Colo. , the old plant being inadequate to bandlo a continually increasing output. Fully sovonty-llvo tons per dny hnvo been shipped daily since March 25 , and will bo steadily increased. The now plant will bo able to keep shipments up to a 100 tons per day.At At El Paso , Tex. , the International smel ter blow in on April 7 and is running with full forco. The company will add to their Slant n largo sampling works , the construe- ; on of which will bo commenced Immedi ately. Owners of the Ctmarron in the Tollurldo ( Col. ) district say they will put up a twenty- a turn pmill this spring. Judge Costlgnn has already ulaeod an order for n twelve-ton mill for the liolmont. Part of the now plant for the Gold Group mill has already boon re ceived , nnd the balance Is oa the way. It is expected to have it in place and ready for op eration by the time connection can bo made with the Goln King electric plant. - Gold Hill lOvoitoinont. There is consldornhlo excitement about Gold Hill , but the snow Is so deep that it keeps all but the most venturesome out of the camp. People do not llko snowstorms or snow blockades , but In splto of all some roach the camp every day , some days n do/cm or more , nnd other days only two or three. As to thu actual condition of things at the camp , It Is about this : "Thoro nro about seventy-five nt work In the mines and these are distributed among nine mines , The Acme hns u shaft llfty foot deep , the Luramlo has a forty-foot tunnel , the Little Bonanza has a llfty- rfbot shaft , the Snow Flake thirty feet , the Leviathan shaft is down something over oighty-llvo fcot , the Blue Belle Is twenty-llvo foot down and gaining a foot a day ; the Enterprise has a shaft down BO mo distance , but I could not glvotho exact depth. The Buokoyo is down fourteen foot Mid the Conflict about the sumo distance. All over the camp-uieu are prospecting for loads In places where float was seen before the mow fell. I have seen n majority of the itrangcrs who have visited the camp and have hoard them express opinions in regard lo Gold Hill. I hnvo yet to hoar the first tvord against the camp. Old miners say that the prospects nro favorable and some claim thnt they nro equal to anything they hnvo over seen. Wo hnvo no developed nilues , you must understand , but all the loads I have named have pay ere on the dump nnd ire working In pay rock. " Colorado's New Gold Cninp. Tom ICcatlng and James Durklu returned from the Ciippio creek gold fields , no.ir Flor- rlssant nnd report thnt there Is an abundance of ere in the now district , says the Park County Bulletin. The Blue Boll claim U lo cated on a Ussuro of vela which is stripped Jor a distance of ilOO foot. A shaft is sunk on the vein to n distance of tlftcon foot in solid ere with permanent walls. The ere will BvoniBo f75 per ton. Eight tons of this pro arc lying on the dump. A Colorado Springs company has lo cated n claim nbout ono nnd a half miles from tbo Blue Boll , nnd has ordered a cur and rails. Their shaft is down about twor.ty- lovou fcot in ere similar lo the Great West. They will start a tuuncl about three hundred loot from tholr shaft. The present drawback Is the roughness of the country and the ox- pcnso of Hauling the ere to Florissant , a dis tance of twenty-two miles. A line of coaches Is running from Florissant to the now Holds. Idaho's riucors. The coming season promises to bo.an active ono in the placer districts In the Salmon river country , Idaha. David McNutt put in a big reservoir for bis Moose creek placers last fall nnd now has his property In flno shnpo for big production during tbo coming season. The hills are well covered with deep snow , so that plenty of water Is assured for n good , long nin , and much gold will bo taken out. The Tnbor company Is well satisfied with tholr Big crock placiors , which have been put In good condition for working. A pack train has been sent to Salmon City to carry in a summer's supply of provisions and min ing supplies , and It will only bo a short tlmo ere the water is turned on nnd the season's work fully Inaugurated. Tbeso placers are a few miles down Big creek from the once cel ebrated rich camp of Loosburg , and the ground is said to bo qulto rich. A Montana Ktriko. In an oftlclal letter to the homo ofllco of the flranlto compauj at St , Louis , Superintend- ent Wolr states that thnre firs from three to six Inches of high grade ere In the upralso In No. 11 enst on the Sunnyslde. It was three Inchei In thickness on the sldci and six Inches In the top , and assayed from 300 to COO oil n cos. Thi ) ere Is copper stained and carries ruby. The strike In the Sunnysidowas made at a depth of 1,100 feet or thereabout , and about 1-UXI or 1,500 fcot south ot tbo 0 ran Ho shaft , which brings the strike directly west of the Now Departure lode , tbo property of the East Graulto company , A correspondent of thoAnaconda Standard makes some ugly iuslnuatloni ngalnat the St. Louis company for trying to depreciate the Importance of the striho. That paper says : To the average minor and also to the average mining compnnv throughout Montana a vein of ere such ns was found In the Sunnysldo , If they know that It reached from the 1,100-foot lovelto thesui fai-o , would be all they would ask for and a great deal moro than they expect , and besides It Is n well-known and indls- putablu fact that the richest and matt ox- tcnslvo ere bodies found In the C.rnnlto Worn found above the 800-foot mark , and millions wcro taken out above the " > 00. It U also known that below the 000-foot level the ere Is found in small streaks with nolld granite - ito between , and this U behoved to bo the condition of the loucr workings of the Llrnn- Ito mlno today , and together with the som- nlcuious Montana local management It Is the principal cause ot the great decline In ( Iran- Ito mountain stock. If the vein found on the Sunnysldf Increase * In width In the upralso as the Granite has done there area great many million dollars between their present workings and daylight. Prospecting In Nevada. Writing from Virginia City , Nov. , Dan Do Qulllo stiyR that the spirit of prospecting ap pears to bo abroad In the land this spring. The favorite regions nro eastern Nevada aud the Death valley country , with the Ilrst men tioned In the lead , There woulu bo a rush to our eastern border wcro it announced that miners going thither would bo met by a rail road from Salt Lake City. Whllo some ot our loose-footed minors are going out cast- ward on "general principles" just to give luck a chance ono party will go forth lo look up a wonderful antimony mountain which a member of the pro posed expedition claims to have once seen"a mountain of solid metal , and no rock within a mlle of it. " The gold belt out about Osceola will attract others. Many moro \vlll strike In about Piceho and move southwaid toward the Colorado , there to settle down and grow up with the country. Wo hear some talk of gold finds IIP about Lake Tahoe and In the Sierras down in Doug las county , but no ono hero pays much atten tion to such stories. Miners have very Httlo faith In strikes reported to have been made by ranchers and lumbermen. On the con trary they prick up their cws if It Is said that a hhcop herder or a herder of cattle has made a bigllnd ; 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 boon done for several months. Thcro is no snow iu the valley of the Salmon river below Clayton , but there Is much above up to Custor City. The Clayton and Kotchum singes po on run ners over the divide , while it , is all runners from Kelchum to near Dickens. On the summit at the head of Trail creek the snow is ten fcot deep , and It will Do several wee s before freighting can bo done over this part of the road. Iu the Bay horse district there Is too much snow to do any work -speak of. nig Idaho Dcnl. The sale of the great Dclmar mlno In Owyho county , Idaho , to a company of Eng lish capitalists has been completed by the de posit at Bolso City National bank of $475,000 to the credit of J. T. Delmar. Besides the ? -l"5,000 paid Dolmar ho 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 Idaho. tlio Mineral 1'alace. The mineral palace at I'uehlo will ho opened Juno 15. Contracts have been let for putting Iho buildings In shape , and a big force of workmen Is employed. It Is claimed lhat the collections of minerals will bo the finest over exhibited In America , and the In terior of the building will not bo excelled In gorgeousness by any similar structure Iu the world. _ _ NotcH. Some good strikes have recently boon re ported in tno Nebo district , ulno miles north of Salt Lake City. The Colorado Fuel company's anthracite mlno has been closed , nnd 100 men have lolt. It usually closes on Elk mountain this time of year , nominally for repairs. The mou were offered work at a reduction of 10 per cent , but preferred to lay off. Slnco taking the San Bernardo mines In Colorado , the big syndicate has built a tram way , a concentrating mill of fifty tons a day capacity and a number of buildings. Tunnel No. 5 Is 071 feet In , 140 of which , is In contin uous oro. Ore has also boon uncovered at several other points. The company has leased the San Juan on the opposite side of the gulch and supposed lo bo ou the same vein. vein.Latest Latest reports siy that the water in the Pocahontas and Sixth slroot shafts at Lead- vlllo Is well under control of Iho pumps , and lhat thcro Is no doubt the basin will bo emp tied. The Pocahonlas shaft is entirely cloir and drifting will bo begun at onco. Tbo matter Is of importance as the mlno has not been worked for years. In the Slxlh street shaft the water Is down 800 fcot. The Groy Eagle will also bo Hi a position to resume working , but to provide against contingen cies , two clghty-horso power hollers have been ordered.

Sliinri Points a Moral from tlic Great Kliowinnn'H Ito. ! Rev. Q. H. Shinn , pastor of the First Unl- vcrsalist church , at Elghtconlh and Lathrop , devoted the hour for yoslorday morning's services to a rovlow of Iho llfo of Phlncas T , Barnum. Ho found much In the llfo of the great showman to admire , and thought tlm all should strive to emulate bis many good qualities. Said ho : , "Tho great good nature of Mr. Barnun shone In every toaturo. No ono of the thous amU who eazed upon his face wora over repelled polled by It. It was his mission on earth to amuse , and there are hundreds of thousands on both continents who can bear evidence as to how well ho succeeded. It was also his mission lo onlerlaln and Instruct as as well as amuse , and who shall say that ho was not an agoat Iu the hands of God. Ills genius was matchless , nnd the world neve saw hU equal In the direction of his mission "In many things his Ufa was an example First In physical manhood. Although in his eighty-first year wheu ho died , ho was wel preserved In all his physical functions , ant tbis was duo to bis temperance principles Ho was a tototaler from his birth , and wa ttio open enemy of liquor and tobacco li every form. Secondly , bo was an example o moral and spiritual manhood. Ho was a man of great Integrity and rejoiced in the trutl of the Christian religion. Thirdly , ho was an example of philanthropy , always giving freely nnd nsstsung In alleviating suffering Fourthly , ho was an example of moral am physical courage and , fifthly , of cheerfulness His reverses were never allowed to disturb him and ho know not the meaning of melan choly or despair , but sot to work at ouco to relieve his misfortunes. "Tho law of kindness was the law of his llfo and It was shown in his treatment o every form of llfo. By it ho tamed the wild cst and most ferocious beasts besides cstab llshlng bis riches In the hearts of his fellow men.

The Commercial Pilgrims of America Is the llrat secret order In existence which confines Its membership exclusively to traveling men. Any ex-traveling man who bus a record of one year on the road is cllglblo to member ship.This This organization starts out with most flattering prospects , as Is Indicated by the fact that the names of the nbovo forty mem bers rank among the most popular and suc cessful tiavullng men In the country. The order Is becoming known from ocean to oeean , north , east , south and west , and promises to rapidly spread all over America. Tno piirposo of the order Is to bring Its mombars together and thereby make them bettor acquainted with each other. Ono of Its most important features Is that it looks after Its sick members who need attention , whether at homo or abroad , and provide for their medical aid , medicine , nurses , nourish ment , etc. Its members nro banded together in one grand equal brotherhood , and patlcnco , kindness , generosity , humility , courtesy , unselfishness and sincerity , are the bed rocks of Its foundation. Tbo supreme council will held a special communication Saturday. April 18 , at 7:30 : p. m. , in the A. & A. S. H cathedral on Pearl street. Council Bluffs , and will confer the honorable and sublime degrees on thirty candidates. Communications addressed to the secre tary. A. W. Jonn ou , will receive prompt at tention. Kulogizini ; the Now Order. COUNCIL BLUFFS , la , , April 10. To the Ed itor of-Tiin Bin : : I notlco that your Coun cil Bluffs column in Monday's issue contains a communication stating that our traveling men have organized a secret order , to bo known as the "Commercial Pilgrims of America. " This is not the case , only so far as the aspirations of a few men are con cerned. The facts are that the Council Bluffs traveling mou have met and organized a union , to bo known ns the Travelers' union of Council Bluffs. They have adopted by laws and a constitution , and decided that there shall bo connected with this organlziv , tlon n secret order. A committee has been appointed to got up a grip , pass word and degree , but to date has not reported in full to the traveler's union , but will do so Saturday night. The work of the commltteo may or may not bo accepted , and the Travelers' union can not In cither event act on It until its regular meeting , as provided by its constitution and rules gov erning that body. It Is possible , and more than probable , that the union will , at Its regular meeting , appoint several committees on the secret work and accept the ono best suited to all interested. This Is the proper method , and would result In the most good. Council Bluffs will liavo a secret union of traveling men , and it claims origin ality and the right to grant cnartors , etc. , to similar organizations , and I will say that when the body Is fully or ganized , Its secret work completed , all officers elected and committees appointed , it will bo a union of which any man may bo proud of being a member. Its fundamental principle will bo the greatest good to the greatest num ber ; its instructions will have a tendency to make good men better ; Its influence will bo felt In all Just movements , and Its oath will bo such as will not bar any good man from the order. It will have a membership of thirty thousand in llvo years ; its expenses will be small , and it will be Impossible for any member to satisfy an unworthy ambition or oven a worthy ono , except by. a majority vote in n regularmootlng , and then by ballot. Hnmmond'H Sad End. Melville Hammond , n traveling man , whoso homo was at Grlnuell , committed sui cide in a room at the Morgan house In Dos Molnos by taking laudanum. A letter ad dressed to "Thoso nt Homo" revealed the fact that the deed was committed because the light of the man's llfo wont out when "Bessie" died. Whether Bessie was wife or sweetheart was not revealed , although n lady's pockctbook found among his effects bore the name "Boss Mouson" and renders the latter probable. A letter loft by Hammond to explain his course , read : GiilNN-EU , March 20 , 1801. My Dear Par ents and all at Homo : I presume that when this reaches you I shall be in the great other world. My Bessie's death was a blow J could not stand , for I loved her so ; moro 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 llfo was gone , all the sunshine I had used to feel uud basic In was cold and cheerless , and oven for mo the very birds forgot their sweetest songs. Ono day , I could stand that ; two days , I could live through them , and oven a week passed , but now nothing U brighter and noth ing is of more interest than a month ago. Ono month , that is enough. As to death , II concerns mo no moro than the brush of a outtortly's wing. God is good and Just , and I go into His presence as Into the presence of an all power ful friend who would do for mo the host ho could. I have no Christianity about mo what ever , for I never believed Its teach ings. I do not ask for mercy on mo , for I bcllovo that a God that is nerfoci can have no use for mercy. , If ho Is just men need not fear him.liv \ should thov Why should II i trust him : I shall bo glac to meet him and ray sunny bluo-oyod queen Pluaso do not judge me Insane , for I an not. I see and understand ns clearly as ' . over did. I realize fully the light the rottei church , that has not half the trust In Got that infidels have , will hold mo in , but their opinion will not effect what Is out of tholi roach. I wish to bo encased as plainly and as cheaply ns possible uud Interred without os tentation. With love to all and friendliest regards to friends , I leave you all. MEI.VII.LE. Needed uCiiniion.

UK WAS A I'lOMSEK. Uriel'Sketch of tlio Llfo of Keiibon Woods. The late Hcubeu Woods , whoso funeral occurs today , was ono of the pioneers of Omaha , and was personally known to all the older settlers between this city and Salt Lake. Ho was Klndhuartcd and sociable , as well as one of the moat reliable of the veteran stage drivers of the early days. There nro many In Omaha todaj who had known him Intimately for nearly n third of n century , and none have aught but words of kindness and affection. "Hubo , " as ho was Invariably called , made his ilrst trip to this city in 1SIU , when ho as sociated himself with Dr. Peck in freighting between Iowa City and Omaha. They wore engaged in freighting supplies ahead of the railroad , which at that tlmo had not reached the Missouri river. They were working ahead of the Mississippi & Missouri Ulucr railroad , which subse quently became the Heck Island , They con tinued to operate their line until 1807 , when the Northwestern reached the cast bank of the Missouri , when Wood sold out his inter est nnd went to Salt Lake , where ho was em ployed by the Patricks to handle ores nnd minerals and bad chatyo of their live stock outfit. Later ho went to Arizona , whore for four years ho held a position in the govern ment employ as sutler. After that ho was employed by Jim Stopncnson as station agent on a stage line Thou ho came to Omaha nnd took charge of Canfleld's largo stables at Eighth and Furnam , whore he remained until Juno 20 , 1800 , when ho took a lot of stock from this city to Grand Junction. Colo. , and Blocked n stage line between that place and Meeker for Parker & Co. , of Atchlson. Ho stayed there about six months and tils health failed and ho returned to Omaha. Ho again took charge of the Canflold stable , re maining there until a short tlmo before his death. At the tlmo that he was freighting In lown , Jim Stcphenson was driving for the Western Stage company between Iowa City and Den ver. At that time Colonel E. F. Hooker , now at the Paxton , was superintendent and general manager ot the staqo lino. On his trips Stcphenson frequently overtook Wood's freight trains and the latter would on such occasions take n scat on the stagu nnd ride ahead. There was formed the friendship that lasted until Wood's deuth. In speaking of the deceased Mr. Stcphen son said : "Ho know all about tlio stage business and was n first-class agent. Ho was an excellent"six-horse driver , and al ways took the lines and drove himself if there was a man Miort. Ho has frequently driven for mo here in Omaha of late years , and I always felt safe when Hubo was on tlio box. Ho was always careful and no acci dents happened with him. Ho was * sober and straightforward , and n man whoso own pecu liar place will bo hard to illl. " Always open tlio offer made by-tho proprietors of Dr. Sago's Catarrh Remedy.
