i City of the Itioli.
WnAhington Is rast becoming a city of thu
rich. It Is n town of millionaires who have
coma hero to spend their inonoy. A poor
senator has no chance to entertain on his
salary nnd thocost of dinners nnd receptions
Is onormouH. The prospects are that the com
ing season will be inoro gay and moro ox-
travncant thun over. Many now houses ha vo
boon built nail some of the wealthier cltizons
are adding great wings to their old houses
for the purpose of ontort.uiilng. The matter
of Dining rooms alone Is becoming an Import
ant feature of Washington life and the dinIng -
Ing room Is now ono of the largest ana most
beautiful of the statesman's house. Senator
Stanford rents n house at Washington , but ho
has added to this , at his own expense , a wing
comprising a dining room which 1ms cost In
the neighborhood of $10,000. and which ,
though simple In its construction for the
wants of a hundred millionaire , is a fair typo
of the tendency of tbo times in this direction.
This dining room Is now being furnished for
the winter , The wall and colling decorations
have boon catnplnted. Numbers of elegant
oil paintings liavo been hung in It , nnd the
floor alone remains to bo stained and polished.
It is an immense room. You could crowd a
good-sized two-story house inside of it ana
you could turn thn biggest Broadway amy
loaded v/ith barrels arouna In it without
touching the walls. It is ever lltty feet long
and inoro than twanty feet wide , and it has a
Croat swelling bay window In the side of it
which loolcs out upon Seventeenth street , and
from the recesses of which you can trot a view
of Farragut square. The celling is , 1 Judge ,
about llftecn loot high. It Is p tinted a iloli-
cnto cream which warms into a pink uusted
with gold us it meets thn Mdu walls of pale
blue and silver. These side wulls nrb ot n
beautiful imported paper of silver flowers on
this pale blue ground , nnd the general effect
of the room Is u most harmonious ono. There
is nothing gaudy or extravagant in its make-
Up. The chandeliers are of brass nnd the
globes upon them cud not cost , I venture ,
moro than fiU cents npleeo , though they har-
inonizo perfectly and nro beautiful. The fire
place lii the oud of the dining room Is of wood
painted n rich cream , nnd on the right and
the loft of this , facing the door , nro two
beautiful statues of whlto marble of Paris
and Achilles , .These stand on pcdostals of
black marble , nnd they catch your eye as you
enter the room. The pictures on the walls
are fine oil paintings and most of thorn were
Bent on from California for this room. Sena
tor Stanford has not seen the room as yet ,
and ho rnvo orders for its construction before
k'jo loft Washington for California.
ciuitor Stiinlord'H Dinner ) .
There are many dining rooms In Washing
ton wliicli have cost more than that of bona-
tor Stanford's , but 1 doubt Ifthero are any
which will ho so effective or in such good
tnsto. Sun ford is R rich man , hut ho does
not bclluvo In extravagance or in the gaudy
display of his wealth. Ho has the best of
everything , but ho wastes nothing. Ho is
very charitable nnd very free with his money
but his tastes nro simple and he spends but
little money for moro show. The dlnlncr
tabla in this dining room is of plain mahog
any and you might find one equally as line
looking in the house of n well-to-do mer
chant. The chairs are of simple pattern
cushioned with red leather nnd would cost , 1
Vidgo , loss than $10 nuiceo. The table is very
Jumll fur so largo a room , but it is plenty blbr
enough for tlic senator's family and ho has a
commodato as largo a number of guests as
can bo served In the whlto house dining
room. This enlarging will be clone bv moans
of foldmi ; leaves of whlto plno which have
boon stained to the color of mahogany.
Those loaves nro niauo of boards about four
teen inches wide and about llvo feet long ,
snu they are so put togolhar that they cnn
ho screwed to n f raino work aim placed right
over the small dining table , and then being
supported at the ends by temporary logs
they form a now dining table resting
on and ever the old. The tuhlo cloth will
coma to the floor and on such a table Senator
Stanford can entertain fifty-two guests at
dinner nt cm a time. By this additional table
or cover being made of sotsof , folding leaves
bo can make It as largo or as small ns ho
pleases and have the tublo to suit his com
pany.
An Interesting thing in connection with
the now dining room is the butler's pantry.
This runs nlong the sldo of the room and Is
to constructed that It would bo the delight
Df any housowlfo. It Is about twcnty-flvo
feet long and twelve feet wldo and It has
shelves of white plno as beautifully umdo ax
those of the library and enough in number
to hold the dishes of a good sized china store.
There nro two dumb waiters which go from
the kitchens below to this pantry nnd in ono
lido of it there la a sink lor the washing of
dishes which is as big as the largest foot
bath and which hns a draining board all
around It so that thu whole is as big as the
top of a baby's crib. This draining board is
of stained pmo anil everything connected
with the room Is ns clean aud as neat , as a plu.
Some of the finest aI Hirers In Washington
ro given by Senator Stanford. Ho does not
give a great many nor does ho entertain
many people at a tlmo. The first dinner that
President Harrison took outside the white-
bouio was at Stanford's ' table. At this tlmo
the whole country was unsnciied for novol-
tlei and though It was February Senator
Stanford bad aomo rare California cherries
to place before his guests. These are gotten
bjr express nnd the great part of the fruit
ml the wlno used ut the .senator's table
comes from California. Flowers ami greens
are sent aeross the continent and floral pieces
arc made nn there and am shipped hero with
Bpongec attached to thorn ana with directions
to express messengers to water thorn on the
way. All of the nuts that the senator uses
come from his own farms and bo servos
California olives to hU guests. These como
from South California and nro sent in keg * .
They nro of the choicest variety of course.
It is the same with the wines. Many ot
these served at bis table como from his own
vineyards and thoucra ho always has ono or
two foreign < . \lnos nt a dinner ho bollovos In
thouio of homo products ana bo ls making
great Improvements In fruit and wlno culture.
Not long ago ho brought two of tbo most
noted ulmmpaguo makers of Franco to Cali
fornia and he employ a thorn there In making
champagne. These men are studying the
California p rapes and are dovotlnir them-

Homo N'otoil Dining Itoomii.
Mr. John K. McLean it building an 1m-
dlniac room at the back of bis bttt
Washington bouso fnolng McPhcrson's
square. This dining room is Ju t opposite
Chamberlain's restaurant nnd It will bo , 1
Jtuigo , as big a end as Stanford's. It nns a
largo oiy window In the Muo and will bo
beautifully lighted. Another big dining
room will bo that of Kotmtor I > useni ? Halo's ,
or rather Mrs. Xncli Chandler , for I am told
that the big bouso which has boon built on
the corner of Sixteenth and 1C streets belongs -
longs to Senator Halo's mother-in-law. This
house will probably bo open this winter. The
decorators nro now In It. It Is thu biggest
liouiso in Washington and probably the most
expensive one. It must cover iiQiiartcr of nn
acre nnd It hns enough windows for a blir female -
male seminary. It Is n great oblong , colonial
building of cream rirlck aud drab mono with
a semi-circular entrance In the middle facing
Sixteenth street. This entrance has bo.iutl-
ful decorations In tbo way of stone columns
nnd the whole houio Is tasteful to an ox-
tromo. It cannot have cost loss than ? ! 00-
1)00 ) and looks as though It nmy hnvo cost several -
oral times that amount.
A little further up Sixteenth street from
this nouso is Scott's Circle n llttlo further
back from which on Khodo Island nvuniio
Vice President Morton lives. Hdro Is nnoth-
IT big dining roon which Mr. Morton built
especially for his Washington dinners. It
was finished nt the opening of the last con
gress nnd It has cost much moro than tno din
ing room of Soinlor Stanford. It
was stated at tbo tlmo It Was
built that It cost something like * 10,000.
It has n celling ot panelled O.IK which meets
the sldo walls In an arch-shaped cove and
below which rising from thn floor Is a high
wain cottniK. The plaster between these is
decorated in rod and the designs for It and
for the oik carving were made especially for
thi ) vice president. The mantolpinco In the
Stanford dining room could bo built , I should
think , f jr loss than $100. That In Vleo 1'roi-
ident.Morton's must have cost nt least a
thousand It Is of carved oak with a great
mirror ever It and It has a lire-placo In which
you could roast nn ox. The bay window ut
thu sldo of the dining room is another feature.
It , is made of enormous .sheets of plate glass
and of mosaic glass which were especially
mode for Mr. Morton for this purposo. The
floor Is inlaid in patterns nnd the culinary
arrangements of thu establishment nru like
these of a hotel The kltchon is walled with
tiles of whlto china and the nshes uro carried
out of the house by a small railway.
Dining HOOIIIH In Mahogany.
Some of the host dining rooms of Washing
ton are those of private citizens. The house
of Mr. John Hay , the author of the Life of
Lincoln , is ono of tbo tlnost nt the capital.
Its interior decorations are in the lineal of
carved woods. Tuo hall Is In South Ameri
can white mahogany , nnd at the right of this
as yju enter the front door. Just opposite a
great lira-place , is n dining room of rod ma
hogany. This is panelled and wainscoted in
this wood , and the wainscoting contains
blocks blgonough to make the most beautiful
olllco desk vou have ever scon. Great ma
hogany rafters cross oaeti other over your
head , nnd the supports of these nro carved
columns of mahogany. Out of a red tnatiog-
nny nlcovoyou look through plate glass windows
dews out tinon Sixteenth atieot and Lafay
ette park , nnd at tno end of the room fncing
thu door there is a great lire-place as big ns
that in Sonntor Palmer's Slii.OOO log cabin
near Detroit , which is surrounded by n man
tel wonderful In its curving nnd wnich hns
Ingle-nooks at thu sides , where vou can .sit
and toast v our feet before the coals.
Senator" Sawyer has a beautiful dining
room in his big brown stone house on Con
necticut avenue. It is liku that of John liny
In that It is inlaid with mahogany panels , but
It has a frio/o of palntinas in oil iu which
cuptds and pea-fowls are pjaylnpr together
above tbo bald lioid : of the senator as ho
oats. The colling is beautifully panelled nnd
the room is decorated with raio bits of line
china and plate. It is lighted uith lumps of
crystal nna wrought silver audits haneinps
were of peacock blue during a part of the
time mat ttio senator has entertained in it.
Mrs. Senator Hearst's dinintr room will nut
bo open this winter ns she is in mourning. It
was llnished last year nnd itis n beauty. The
room Is finished In the style of the Dutch ro-
nnlssanco and the woodwork Is of well
smoked old oak. The celling is paneled and
the walls nro covered with stamped leather.
The dining table is twenty-six foot long or it
may be extended to that length and the
whole apartment Is ROinbio in tbo oxtiemo.
In addition to this there is a suppar room in
the basement for lisa during recaptions nnd
this is furnished In California redwood and
its lloor Is of a line mosaic.
Itoonn with Histories.
Many of the big dining rooms of Washing
ton are rooms with histories. The walls
within which Postmaster General \Vananm-
kor washes down bis boifsluak with ice wa
ter and cold ten nave held nil the belles and
beaux of Washington fora generation. It
was in It that Tillm liYulinghu.Vbori and her
father entertained President Arthur when
the gossip was tnat the president was to mar
ry tno daughter of his secretary of st Uo. It
had distinguished owners befuro Froliughuy-
sen bought it , and Secretary Whitney made
it thu social center of the Cleveland admlnls
tration. It was ho who gave tbo room its
decorations which It h is to a largo otiont to-
dav. Ho made the woodwork of ebony black
nnd hung its walls with brocaded satin of a
rich old red. Ho had gorgeous tapastrins
hung on the walls and his sideboard spaiklcd
with silver. His tables were loaded wltu
champagne to n greater extent than .Mr.
VVunainuKor's are loaded with nppoliuaris nnd
his recaptions were gayer and his dinners
equal if not superior to tboso of 1'ostmnjior
General Wananmkor.
Just across Lifavotte squarn within a
stone's tnrow of the whlto house in an old
faslnonod mansion of the color of Jersey
cream lives Don Cameron of Pennsylvania.
His house Is the old Tavlor mansion and Its
dining room has entertained all of the states
men and diplomats back to the days of
Henry Clay. General Winilold Scott was
dined in It nnd Daniel Webster often stncic
ins logs under its nmnogany. just next to it
Is Hlainu's house which was a famous plneo
of entertainment when Commodore Rogers
owned it and the climnir room which lilalno
uses for hU diplomatic ) dinners was uc'cl by
Secretary Sowiird when ho was at the head
of the stnto department under Lincoln. The
dining room Is on the ground lloor nud its
walls nro bung with crimson tap"- > try and
the sideboard Is of old oak. The chairs are
upholstered in led leather and with Blatno
at the head of the table the dinners are
always a success.
Daniel Webster gave his big dinners
within a stono's throw of whnra Ulaiuo now
holds forth. Ho lived beyond his moans aud
tnough be did bis own marxotlug bo was
always in debt. The house he had while ho
was secretary of state was the Corcoran tnnn-
( .Ion on the north indoor LaftiyeUosouaro.mui
Mr. Corcoran's autograph letters showed that
Webster borrowed largely fiom him.
I'ostiT null Kliei'Minn.
Secretary Foster has routed tbo house
which Senator Payne occupied Just opposite
the Portland flats on Vermont avenue. His
dining room Is at tbo back of the house and
It looks out on n beautiful lawn. Ttio secre
tary Is rich and ho will probably entertain
considerably this winter. Just below him
lives Senator McMillan of Michigan , in a
house which ho paid $ SOOOJ for , and which
Is beautifully llnishod in every respect. All
of the Justices of thu supreme court are en
tertainers and tno dining room of the
supreme court justice Is more important to
him than his parlor. Senator Hvarls had a
boautlful alnlng.roou ) in his house on the
corner of Sixteenth ana K streets and bo
gave many stag dinners in it Ho Is noted
us un entertainer and during bis term us
bccromry of state ho spout four times ns

( Special correspondence of Tun flKi : . ]
When Colonel S. W. Downey came back hero
tbo llrst of the week on hU way homo to
Larumio from Gold Hill , ho was moro sun-
gulno than ever ever the prospects for a sue-
cesslul test In ttio operation of the Kdlson
svntum for working the inlnos there by elec
tricity us described In last Sunday's UKK ,
During his visit to the camp thu colonel
took special p ilns to study tbo water supply
for power nud purposo. In the neighborhood
of his stamp mill Just llitlsbing on Ar.istra
lake , Colonel Downey had surveys made that
show conclusively thntsuniciont water power
CUM uo developed to run dynamos that will
operate many stamps besides furnishing
light and power for the minus that ho Is
working.
Three lakoj , Arastra , Nloba oud
Loman , can bo tuppod to furnish nvator
supply. A survey already made shows a 18 ! )
foot pressure , but this can bo easily Increased
to over iiOJ. Ono of these natural reservoirs ,
Lake Lennn , can bo utilised for water stor
age and to an oxtcut that enormous pressure
can bo developed. The lairo can bo raised
inoro than lllteun foot and at a trilling cost
to hold water for winter uso. Arastra Creek ,
that Hews Into the lake of the same
name and not far removed from the mill site ,
Is a typical mountain stream that thunders
down the slopes and ioapj over pieclpltous
cliffs , all the while gaining In force. Uy d'- '
vertlng the waters from these natural storage
reservoirs the volume and power of tliu
stream can bo grcntlv It creased.
But while Cob nel Uownoy satisfied that
ho can com man I abundant water power to
operate uis own mill and work the group of
mines in the immediate vicinity that lie con
trols , his plan is moro wide reaching than
that If the Edison system proves practic
able , nnd of that ho is convinced , the colonel's
intention N lu organic a company that shall
furnish light nnd power lo work ail tbo mines
In the Go.d Hill district and treat their ores.
To curry out such r. project some central
point must bo selected where great water
power can bo secured. From past and recent
lnvestlg.it ons nnd actual surveys such a lo
cation has been ll\ed upon. That is on the
Patriot placer claim , situated on both sides
of South Brush creek , and extending 1UO
foot below tlio Junction of Uold Hun crook
with the Brush Mid 000 leot abovo. This
claim , embracing lifty-Ilvencres , immediately
adjoins the Bonanza placer , and to the south
of itthnt forms part of what is known as the
( jrcunvillo towiibite , the lower camu in Gold
Hill , where is located the present and only
postotllcu in the district , called Goll. A mill
site has boon graded on the Patriot , where
ten or moro stamps nra to bo sot up in the
iioar future. To furnish water for the boiler ,
plateetu , of the urojeclud mill , n dltcti lias
been surveyed that will give a 17-J-foot pres
sure. For the purpose named tins ditch waste
to bo only two and a half feet wldo and three
feet deep , but it could be so cnlurgod us to
take out all tliu water of Brush creek and In-
crcaso both the volume and power to a won
derful degree.
In addition to this , it nas been shown by
a survnv made within the past few dayb that
North French creek , u considerable stream
and of reat fall , cm bo turned into boiith
Briibh some distance nbovo the Patriot
ditoh. Tnis would bo an easy and cheat )
pioo of engineering , only involving the con
struction of a ditch about half a mlle long
aud the estimated cost not to exceed 31,000.
So favorably impiessed was Colonel ,
Downey by the opportunities and natural ud-
vantages possessed by thu Patriot water
power that 1m has made overtures to ( jrcono
iSrob. & Co. , who own tlioao lights , looking
to mi alliance of Interests and concerted ac
tion The chances are , though , tn.it the
Greenes will either carry out such a project
on their own hook , else make an effort , to en
list capital to aid them.
It must not bo mistrusted for a moment
that these plans , us recently discussed in
Tnu BCP , are In any .sense visionary. Enough
bus uoon demonstrated to enlist the cooperation
tion of capitalists and so mucn encourage
ment has Colonel Downey met with that it is
marelv a question of ti short time wheu u
practical test will bo made. In order to pre
pare the miners nud secure concerted action
among ihom and such concessions as nro
rocjiusitc ; in making a test , tlio colonel un
folded to tnem his plans in part nt n miners'
mooting held last Fiiday niirht at Gold liill.
In a carefully prepared address delivered on
that occasion and treating of matters that
were common to them all , Colonel Downey
made those observations :
"Tho starting of this first stamp mill is an
important event in tno history of the camp
While ii is not a large one , It inaugurates the
work of development mid ph.ces the district
on thn list of producers , thus elevating it to n
position of importance in the eyes of tliu mm
inu and commercial bodies ot the country-
There Is no apparent reason why there snould.
not bo 1UU stamps running in this district by
the 1st of September next , and within three
years .100 stamps. That a consummation so
desirable is not only possible but probable is
duo no less to the presence of iuo\hausilblo
bodies of ncn ore than to the advantages
provided oy nature for thuir development.
Thu magnificent , forests that darken the
slopes of these hills offer at your very door
all the limber that could bo desired fora
great milling camp. There are thousands
upon thousands of acres of it and probably
the demand of generations to como will not
exhaust it , ns the only timber that will bo
needed , in all likelihood , will bo for
timbering up the mines nnd lor
building purposes. This appears to bo
n soir-ovidont proposition when wo
consider thu immoasurublo power available in
our lakes nnd streams , u power so vast that
It is no exaggeration to assert that it would
sulllco to run by moans of electric motors all
the stamp mills that could bo put in during
tlio next tun years , though a continuous
porcossion of wagons laden with machinery
was marching from the manufactories to
Gold Hill.
In Illustration of what may bo clone by
means of the electric ! motor aud to demon
strate thu fact that lightning is our power ,
that all the elements will contribute to our
success , let mo ulto the following data ob
tained from the Kdlson Feuorat Elootriu

You who have attacked these mountain
ranges to wrest from thorn the treasures of
which pro-Adamltu sultans only dreamed ,
would do well to endeavor to realize thu ex
traordinary power with which man is today
endowed. If he has explored the plains beneath -
neath the ocean's billows , counted the stars
that whiten the remotest portion of the
coiosthit sphoio , weighed the planets ,

"Tho crystal streams whoso music is almost

stored It in the hills He created nnd sus

mountain mist. "
All thuso preparations for milling on ulnix'o
scale mean something. They show , If noth
ing else , that the claim owners have confi
dence in ttioir nroperties and intend to uet
out the oro. Nobouy would doubt Colonel
Downov's Intention to push things , lie has
some valuable claims that are fast attaining
thodlstinutioa of being worthy the name of
mines. IIU tun stamp mill be ready to start
up somewhere between the 1st and 10th of
December. Slumps would begin drooping
before that save that Superintendent "Jack"
Martin is a conscientious milling as well ni
mining man and lu.scoulldcnco in Gold Hill
is so great that uo won't talio auv risks
through which a mistake might bo
made and the first clean-up fail of being an
honest and prudent ono. Therefore the ma
chinery will nil have to be in llrst class shape
and all needful preparations made bjforo the
stamps buuiu pounding away on the gold-
studded quartz. The shotting that will bo
made nt the end of a thirty day's run will be
a good ono. It will bo trio best ndvcrtiso-
mout there could bu for the district. The
llrst brick will bo but duo of a series of many
to follow. ,
SuperiutondentMartin isn'tn visionary man
and when ho iays tliu run will avoriiro $ ! i)0 ) a
dav for the ten slamps ho comes prottv near
slzim ; it up. But should the amount bo no
moro than $ iM ( ) a day that is : i big thing.
Meanwhile work is being vigorously prose
cuted on tlio claims whose outputs are to bo
run through the mill on Arastra hilto. Half a
milo from there is the Leviathan claim oa
which a shall 10-i feet deep was sunk. It H
located on the slope of a high bill. Going
down thu hillelguty fcoln tunnel was stnrtou
that had been driven fifty feet that taps the
vein and shows a better grade of ere than
that in the shaft , and nvcragine twelve feet
In width. Uy the tlmo the tunnel reaches n
point below wl ere the shaft was put down
a duptlvof IIJO feet will bu attained. With
this amount of ere in signt thu ten stamps
could bo supplied. Tnuro Is already a lar o
quantity on thu dump and it runs from $ Jl ) to
$1(1 ( to thu ton in cold. A good road has been
built fiom the Lovituun down in the mill.
On \Vvominu elaini n shaft has boon
erected to that work there can't bu iiiterfoiod
with by the storms that will soon begin to
como Illicit and fast and the snowfall bo onor-
mous. Ore bins tire also building. A depth
of lorty-live feet has boon attained in tlio
shaft that was put down along side the vein
from which quartz can bo picked otf contain
ing gold nuggets of good size.
When down thirty foot , in addition
to the load proper , a streak of crevice matter
about two luchos wide came In. This In
creased in width until now it averages
about three foot wido. The gauge and
orevico matter prosuects ricli. Tno distance
from the Wyoming to the mill is throo-qunr-
lors of n milo , but a good road has boon con
structed with u favorable grade so that ere
can be easily hauiod.
Surprises have been so frequent In the
Acme and Lakestdo claims on Mineral Hill
right near the Greonotownslto that it now
takes n good deal to exclto the minuis , es
pecially as rcg.iids new discoveries on Iho
Acme. A week ngo Greene Mro.'s & Co.
broke with a Massachusetts outfit bcause
the rcpsentatives of the latter would not
fulfill tholr contract for the Immediate Drool-
Ion of .1 stamp mill. Immediately after that , n
running the Acme tunnel nud when In about
1UO fuet a rich vein was cut. This s owed
four feet of quartz and clecomnosocl ledge
matter that pans well and is evidently rich.
On the strength of this now discovery nn of
fer has noon mndo to put in a stamp mill bv
people who will take their pay from the proceeds -
coeds of the clean ups. In tunneling for a
distance of 145 feet or thoreaoouts , lor dis
tinct stroaics or gastios of quartz and gango
from three to sixteen Inches wldo , and rich In
mineral have been cut. Tboso feeders , as
they are called , Indicate a big load , whose
value as yet can't oven bo estimated , but will
undoubtedly prove rich. On the Lakeside
when the tunnel had been drlvon llfty feet n

PETER A. SARPK'S ' DIAMOND ,
Takau From His Mother's ' Grave He Wors
it Till His Death.
TRANSMITTED TO J. STERLING MORTON.
Story of the Jen-el nud How
Its Owner I'oorco.l Its Hurial
and KcMiii'i'cet ion 1'or
Km uro Generations.
The following story of the famous Peter A.
Sarpy is rolatoil by Hon. J. Storllnn Morton.
Mr. Sarpy was ono of the old-tlmors of the
territory , for whom S.irpy county was uaniod.
Tlio bc.uitiful bluffs thnt rise so majesti
cally from the Missouri at IJollovun , on that
summer day loolcodvhllo the dow lay still
upon them , like a blriiiK of gigantic omornlds
just fnllun from the clouds. Thu air was still
and supreme soliUulo locked the landscape In
hazy , drowsv rest. ( Jolouel Peter A. Sarpy
mot ma up baul : of tno old mission house , by
the grave of the j ruat Omaha chlof. Bit ; Elk ,
lhat morning. Ho was buoyant and his eye
glistened with the exuberance of health anil
Kood spirits. Ho was ill-eased neatly , and
upon his bro.ist I noticed , for the first time , u
holituiro diamond , which gleamed and llasbod
with striking brilliancy.
"Colonel , " said I , "you have been adding
to your jewels , " and , looking steadily nt the
goiii , "is that something now I"
"O no , my friend , " said he , "that is old ,
very old , and I will toll you about it if vou
will listen , and what is to como of it in the
noreafter , if you will. "
aik'iiif.vinj ; mv assent with preat alacrity ,
( Jolonol Harpy proceeded ns follows :
"Many , many yoiu's nye , when St. Louis
was a villnge , my good Catholic mother died
may God lest her soul in peace - in that
town. Wo children tollowod her remains to
tbo cemetery and laid thorn quietly In the
pravo nnd wept until our cyoi would" weep
no more. And then shortly after I came up
hero to Nebraska among the Indians to trade
und my brother , John U , , remalnod in St.
Louis.
"But a few years ago I wont down to St.
Louis to purchase coodi and ono afternoon
after I had been there several days my
brother said : 'Peter , 1 want to sue you
pnvntoly in the counting room to talk about
the dead,1 a'.id so 1 went m and John U. &uid :
Vetor , this city is growing very rapidly. It
is stretching out to the south and the west
and the mirth. It needs moro room and tlio
old graveyard where our jnotlior is buried
inubt bo given up \Vo must move her re
mains to nuolhor resting spot , and wo will do
it toetnor while you ui-o hero. U'o will do
It tomorrow. '
"And so the very next day wo wont out to
mother's grave nnd carefully ivo bronuht the
collln to the light and lifted it up tenderly
on to a blor. It was sadly decayed. It looked
HkoDUiik wood. The top win moved n little
to one side mid 1 could not restrain n desire
took In. As 1 did look the sunlight streamed
In und I saw something gleaning thoro. At
once I roinomboi-od the diamond which my
mother had always worn und which had been
burled on her breast , and I reached in avid
took It out , nnd this is it which you see. It
is mlno , and when those bright days como i
feel voung again , and renieinborldg my
mother I put It on and wear it , lor It makes
mo a hotter nmn. It Is n charm , sir , and t'lo
memories which It brings to mo nro brighter
and richer and moro precious than all the
gonis in the world , for they are the sacred
recollections of a Christian mother , n Uoiy
woiiiui , whoso to.icliines wcro purer than any
diamonds thnt ever glowed.
"And now , while men thlnlt I am nothing
but un old Irdlan trader who sees nothing In
the future , who believes In no destiny for
this beautiful Nebraska ol ours , I know , sir ,
that not many vonrs will come nnd go bofuro
I , too , will bo called to another llfo in another
world. And then these fertile lands , these
vast plains will have ueon settled up nnd
somewhere In this Missoorl valley , perhaps
In sight of where wo now stand , a giuat city
shall linvo boon built up and thoie will ever
and ever go-up the humof contentful Industry.
Then I may have been in my grave many
years , nnd with me will have rostnd in dark-
iioss this gem. And having no children , no
kinsmen , as the land ( Ills up with many
IKioplu and thn cities grow , vorv likely some
day tluy will ttrnre to youastlmv did to
brothur John about our mother , nnd say :
Hero , sir , your old friend , Peter A. Sarpy ,
Is iu ttio way. Thu city needs room , sir , and
you must talio his old bones uwiiy ' And If
so. do It ; do it decently and kindly , as I
unow you will , but remember this diamond.
Peep Into my old collln. It l < ; i pure gem ,
llrst water , and will surely llasli whenever
yourojocuu bee. Then vou roach In I'll
bo H till and snatch the diamond out and put
it on and wear it.
"The voars will roll on and the people will
still Hood In nnd this shall bo one of the
grainiest gardens of the world und
you will have grown old , too , and
hecomo a cition of some great city , away
out on what wo now call the plains , und
then death will rap at your door and you , too ,
will come into thut other Ufa In that other
world. Toll your boys to burv this stone
with vou. Hut not many years more will
have followed the trull of those which have
already gone into the sluUowy hunting
lands before the boys will bo called upon by
the authorities to move your bones nlo
You will have gotten In the way , too , arm
they'll toll the bovs to work the old man
move liliii and make roam for the city of the
plains. Tell the boys when the time comes
to rnnch Into your coflln and ngidn take ID Is
giUtur.Ing jewel out from the grave. Toll
oldest to put it on nnd wear It , and bo buried
with it too , leaving Innructlona for Us resur
rection again.
"And so , .sirwe'll keep this diamond glit
nmone the generations to como. It
shall bo burled nnd raised and worn ami
hurled again , until finally It shall ho hurled
for the last time away oil in some of the isl
ands of the Pncillc , whom the west shall
nave been found and settled in full , nnd
Mindly perfected.
"I tell you , sir , this cry for 'Iloom , moro
room , ' for the living , for the many people ,
for the great cities , will never coaso. And
lo. this diamond go on from grave to crave ,
from generation to generation , irlcaminn' ' and
llnslmir lorovcr like a star In the shield of
ono who shall always bo a pioneer in the vanguard -
guard of progress and civlll/atlon. "
Colonel Sarpy stopped his speech and In
silence wo walked to the old trading post.
Hut there was the element of wophccy nnd
the Irresistible power of prescience In that
summer morning talk of Colonel Snrpy wliieh
makes it .sing in my ears nnd thrill In mv
veins even unto this clay. Ho looked into the
future as into a mirror nnd saw tno face of
today and tomorrow us clearly and plainly us
a child sees trees and Jlowon shadowed in u
pure brook.

OK OTIIKll DAYS.
Intotvstlnjj ItcuilniKociiocsofOld i u-t
Kearney by a Veteran.
After an rbsonco of twonty-flvo years I re
cently paid a visit to the spot where the
above named land-mark once stood. The post
was abandoned about twenty years ace , and
were It not for the few big cottonwood trees
still standing around the parade ground it
would bo impossible to Identify Its former
site , wire fences , corullelds and groves hav
ing almost obliterated every trace of what
was once an important strategic point on the
ulnins. Fort Lcuvonworth , Fort , Kearney ,
Fort Laramie and Fort Bridgcr stood for
many years as sentinels guarding the great
overland mall and emigration route between
thoMfssouri river and Salt Lako. Considering
its former prominence and importance I hnvo
often thought the government ought to place
a monument to mark the place In the center
of the parade ground because in n few years
Its very location will become a matter of con-
JBCturo and dispute. Senators Matidor ou
and Paddock are hereby made a special com
mittee on the Fort Koarnov monument , .
The land Is now owned by n Mr. W. O.
Diingan , an old veteran of the rebellion , who
stopped three balls for the Union , receiving
therefor the princely pet.slou of $12 a month.
Mr. IJungnn kindly accompanied me in my
efforts to discover s > omo of the old lines anil
land marks. Where the row of long cavalry
statues once stood , there is now a hnavy
growth of cottonwood timber. INota vustlgo
of any building lomnlns , nnd it was in vain
that wo searched for the exact location of the
sutler's store.
As I stood upon its supposed slto , my mind
'
reverted to Incidents and scenes of'thirty
years ngo. The little buek room ( or "tho
ofileers' room , " as it was called ) was once
moro Illlod with the genial .spit Its who used
to congregate there , John Heth ( pence to Ins
ashes ) , IJr. O. L. Miller , Cioner.il liobert
Mitchell , Jack Aleriovv , f. h. Jioyd , Phinens
Uurteh , Frank doff man and u long list of old-
timers xvhom I could name , living and dead.
Just how mimy "jack pots" were opened in
that little old room will never be known , but
it Is certain that no similar room in the west
ern wilds over witnessed moro good fellow
ship , to say nothing about pointing morals or
adorning tales.
Hut p ist Is nil Its fiiino"thu ! M'iy spot
Whmo nmiiv u tlmo they triumphed Is forgot !
Dr. Miller was appointed sutler in the ( all
of 1W1I , succeeding John Ilnth. O. P. Hur-
ford furnished tliu cupltnl. which consisted
largely of poods bought of John McCormlcIc
at high prices and on long tinm. I conducted
the business of the llrm from 18111 to 1811(1 ( ,
during which tlmo tlio not protlts amounted
loavur $100,000 , exclusive of numerous gov
ernment contracts. "Subtraction , division
nnd silence , " with a llttlo "I nil nonce , " wont
n long way in those days In procuring con
tracts. 1 recall , for Instance , ono for ! 3,0X ( )
cords of wood at 20 per cord nnd another for
r MI tons of hay at $10 per ton. The price paid
by the govornmsnl lor corn ranged from $ .1 to
fl per bushel. ( This Is where thti "Great
Ainerlean Desert" idea camu in ) . I never
was nblo to figure out the oxaut porcontngo
of profit Iu these ventures , hut Know the
contractors didn't lose anything.
