THE OMAHA DAILY Bttfe-MONDAY , AUGUST 27 , 1891. PfiiSE OF WESTERN PROGRESS Perpetrators of tlio Beat's Nest Swindle b Alaaka Evidently Betrayed. ASSAYER OF THE TREADWELL SUSPECTED Ullpln't Bullion Orlp-l/irKcU Strike In the District Mntla In the Kentucky r.odo Uolil , Sliver nml Copper Fount ] Nortlnroit HC\T . The great conundrum which everybody who Uncw anything about the circumstances connected with Iho notorious Dear's Nest mining deal Is now trying lo solve , Is "Who la Iho man who has 'peached ' ? ' " It Is well known , says the Portland Orcgonlan , that the victims of the transaction have had ono of the best detectives obtainable nt work for the past live years endeavoring to get some clue to positive testimony that a swindle was perpetrated In the sale ot the property. Theri has always been circum stantial evidence enough to convince almost anyone that fiilcli was the case , but this Is hcrdly the kind of evidence in which to hope to secure a verdict for damages. The JourneyliiRS of this detective , II ever published , will inoko an Interesting booV. for the cITccls of the Dear's Nest deal have extended , literally , from Greenland's Icy mountains to India's coral strand , and now It looks as If the latest developments In the- matter were hunted up where Africa's sunny fountains pour down their golden sands. It teems that several pdraons also were In timately acquainted with all the circumstan ces connected with the salting and sulo of the Dear's Nest mine , though It might be beneficial to them to seek new fields for the display of their talents and energies far a time. Such a Held they thought to flnd In the far-off mines of South Africa. There theyhid themselves , and there they have remained over slnco. The world Is very small now-a-dAys , and so there Is nothing wonderful In' the tact that these parties should ba employed In South Africa by a syndicate , ono ot the members of which is Mr. A. n. Jlcnshaw , -who sunk $150,000 In the Dear's Nest , and who has lately brought suit against the parties who sold the mine. He charges them with having salted It , and treated the core taken from tha hole bored by the diamond mend drill with chloride ot gold , nnd asserts that he has secured those who aided In perpetrating It. The latest guess as to the Identity ot this informer Is that he Is one of the men who went from the Dear's Nestle lo South Africa , and Is practically working lor the man ho helped to wrong. There is still a suspicion that T. J. Sunny , the nssayer at the Treadwell mine , who Is snld to have treated the drill core with chloride ot gold , Is the man who has given away the whole business. It will be a matter of proof that Sunny got $25.000 tor his par ticipation In the affair , $10,000 of which , It will bo claimed , was hush money. Hut this was not nil Sunny's profits from the deal , according to his own testimony In the DownIng - Ing suit. He and Dr. AVymnn of Juncau owned a little gore-shaped claim that was needed to complete the fair outlines of the Iear's Nest property. Sunny bought his portion out for $50 , nnd then , understand ing the situation , and being master of It , he forced Murray to pay him $23,000 for the little gore. This was Sunny's , own testimony In regard to the transaction , nnd ho made about as big a profit on It , proportionately , aa Murry. Fuller and the others did In the Bear's Nest. It Is not likely that It will be generally known who has peached until Ucnshaw's evidence Is In. but there will bo no end of conjecturing until that time. MOUB GOLD AT GIU'IN. During tha past thirty days very rich finds of gold have been made In Qllpln county , about four miles duo north ot this city , In a country that has not been pros pected for the past , thirty jcars , says a Central City sp-clal to the Denver Now * , and \\hlch now comes to the front In such a way that some of ttui best mining experts In the country say they believe the richest gold mines yet to be discovered In Gllpin wilt be found In this section. While this district Is located on Hayden's ' map as gold- bearing the country 1ms been left unexplored tmtll recently , when some new prospectors -jolne over the ground found the country covered at almost every point with rich { { old-bearing float. Among these parties was tld John Owens , a veteran prospector , who stumbled upon a. rocli weighing 621 pounds , known as hemltlte of Iron , which appeared to him to be excellent float. He took this ore to ono of the- mills at Dlack Hawk , for which they gave him In return eighteen ounces of gold. This sot Owens and othei piospeetors In that section to work nnd the > discovered rich mineral on the surface of HIE Buckhorn mountain , from which some fifty or sixty tons ot ore wwo quarried fron : the top of the hill on a claim known as the Sitting Dull , which ran high in gold. Situated on the same mountain Is the Re form mine , owned by Denver parties , whicl : has just been opened up , and wlu-ro the > have a largo vein said to bo some thlrt > foot In width , and from which the returns for 1,960 pounds of ere taken out last weel gave thirty-live ounces of gold to the ton. The largest strlko made In this dlitrlcl has Just been made by Messrs TJttcrbacl' and Powell. In what Is known aa the Oli Kentucky lotlo , located at the head of Plckr gulch , showing Immense bodies of I'cacocl ore , which Is rich In gold , silver and copper The vein Is a true fissure and this mlncr.i was struck at a depth of thlrty-flvo fee from the surface , and at the present work Ings It shows ten feet ot almost solid ere The character of the mineral Is similar li that discovered In the Fish mine , ono D the largest producers In the country , at i depth of 700 feet , nntl which has continue ! btlow the 800-foot level. Ore similar li this Is not usually found In Gllpin count' above R depth of from 200 to 300 feet , am why this ore should bo found so near th surface Is astonishing to almost every on In this eectlon , The strike Is of BO much Importance tha It looks as It now dlscoverl'o will bo mad In this section , which would certainly brlni old Gllpin to the front , as It has always beci the largest gold-producing county In th alate. Arrangements will bo made at once fo developing the Old Kentucky lode. It i expected that a complete milling or con centratlon plant will follow lu duo time , s that the low grade material may be proQtabl handled , GREAT KIDNEY CURE. J. r. Glbbs , editor of the Mlllard Count Dlade , thinks the Chamber of Commerc should bo placed In possession of facts con cernlng the resources of the outside counties says the Salt Lake Tribune , and sends Sccre tary Colborn a description ot O serefs won derful artesian wells , the waters from wlitc have been di'immatrnted to bo a sure cur for all kinds ot Kidney diseases. The writ * ' states that ho believes the chamber slioult and doubtless will , help bring to the niter tlon ot the world this bopn to the atlllctei The expense to the sufferers will bo nothln more than the freight on mis water.

A measure of Importance to South Dakol is the Indian appropriation bill as It wet to the president from congress. It Is In portaut because It contains a provision fi the surrender to white settlement of 16S.OX acres of land embraced within the boundtrli of the present Yankton Indian roservatk upon the proclamation of the president. Th reservation , ays the Yankton Tress or Dakotalan , contains about twenty townshli and from this area the Indiana resen enough land to Rive eacn member of tl Yankton Sioux band a farm of ample dime Ions , The Yankton reservation was creati by the treaty ol 1859. I'rlor to that da the Yankton Sioux laid claim to all the te rltory now lying ID the itato ol South Dako south of ths forty-fifth parallel ot latitude and cast ot the MUiourl rlrtr. Under the term * of that treaty they iiirrendered every thing claimed except the twenty townships In Charles Mix county sine * known as the Yankton reservation. Up to the ratification ot this treaty tlie- present site of the city ot Yankton was the headquarters of the VatiUon Stoux band. In1&9 they began moving themselves and their personal prop erty lo their new homos. The process was a slow one and It was not until 1862 that the Indian disappeared over the western lillls and white men began to slice up the townslte among themselves. The Indians left their boms reluctantly and among the old ones there Is still an affectionate regard lor the tenting place of their ancestors. Through long contact with civilization these Indian ! have finally become convinced that n white man's portion of land l sufficient ( or the uses of the red m&ti , nnd they willingly sur render thrir surplus acres to a more progres sive clais of neighbors. The reservation will bowiped out , the tribal relations abolished and l-i tlmo the Yantcton Sloui vlll bo num bered among the citizens of the state. The land thus thrown open lo settlement Is n choice tract productive , well watered and within easy reach of market. It Is sur rounded by civilization and the vestiges ol s.ivago occupancy will speedily become eradi cated. REVIVAL AT EMPinE. There are now ten producing mines at Empire , a camp which fell asleep -when the silver movement commenced In 1878 , and which showed no signs of revival until last fall. So far this season $20.000 has been received for smelting ere shipped to ATRO. About $0,000 of this went to the Gold Dirt , $5,000 to the Tenth Legion and the remainder to the Badger Boy nnd other mines which ore now being developed. These mines nro now Increasing this .output , says the Denver News , nnd piling up the low grade material on the dumps. ' n'ha latter will be forwarded tt > Idaho Springs for concentration when the Gulf railroad arranges the special rate , and Is prepared to handle the additional traffic. A fifty-ton concentrator ot the right pat tern would nnd plenty ot ore in the camp. In fact , the supply could soon bo Increased to 300 tons per ilay. Empire Is a veritable graveyard of pro cesses , most of them brought In by "practi cal" men , who scorn the differences recog nized by metallurgy. The cast Iron re mains. Concentration , however , has been tried with carlojd lots at Idaho Springs and Georgetown , and with good success. A small plant known as Iho Knickerbocker amalgamator Is running night and day. The mill has twenty-four stamps , but only water power for sixteen. Two sacks of picked ore taken from tlio Badger Hey returned sixty-four ounces In gold to the ton. The vein Is twelve Inches Hydraulic mining In Empire gulch pays well thli season. The clean-up for July netted $130 per man , which Is a vast Improve ment ou the Coxey reserves. CRIPPLE CHEEK ONE PRODUCT. Crlnplo Creek correspondents ! have figured out an ere product , smelting and milling , worth $353,500 , for the first half of the present month , of which the smelling ore yields $297,000 nnd the milling ore , treated In the camp , $50,000. . Some of the largest mines In the camp nro not yet In shipping form , but will Join the ptoducing Hat by tlio first of next month. It Is estimated that the last quarter of the year will show a gold product of $3,0.00,000 , without countliu : the possible success of tlio proposed reduction works at Florence , which arc calculated to make a market for low grade ores which are not free milling. No such maikct exists at this time. The Ie Lamar chlorlnatlon plant Is buying ore \\hlch runs from $10 to $80 per ton. Tills is kmelt- lag material. CASE AGAINST LAND GRABBING. The case of the United States against Julius -K. Miner of Minneapolis , says the Ashland Tidings. IE now being heard In the land ollico at Hoseburg , Ore. Mr. Minor owns nearly lfi.000 acres of timber land In the Ilogue river region. Tlio government alleges that of his possessions fifty-three claims ( about 8.000 acres ) were atriulrecl In violation of the law. which is designed to prevent ono man from securing land from the government through others filing upon it. aa agents In fact of him. under the timber land act. Mr. Miner Is said to be preparing to cut this timber nnd open a largo lumbering business on Ilogue river in the1 event of this suit terminating In his favor. The case will take much tlmo at nosebtirg , as numerous witnesses arc to be examined nnd all testimony la taken down by a typewriter. NEBRASKA. York hoists a fifth dally paper.

Machinery Is being put In which Is guaranteed to grind betweer seventy-five and eighty barrels of flour c day. In referring to the total failure of the crops in Polk county the Oscfola Ilecon ! says : "This winter will bo a hard omen on the people of the entire west. Whai are you doing in the way of preparatlor for what Is coming ? Are you cutting al your fodder nnd saving every posslbls bll of straw and other rough feed ? \Vhai about fuel ? Can't you trim your grove : and thin them out and thus prepare enougl fuel to see you through the winter ? li wo should have rain within the next twi weeks are you prepared to tow a good p.itcl of turnips for winter consumption ?

In the Sllverton district the Silver Queen mine has three feet of ore which yields $300 per ton. It Is a recent discovery. Work Is progressing satisfactorily on the New-house tunnel at Idaho Springs and on the Philadelphia or Stclnberger tunnel at Fait River. The Pulaskl group ot mines , Tellurtdo dis trict , will send forty tons of orq to the Dal- lard & Hlley mill , forty tons to the Beam process plant and forty to Taylor & Leonard's mill , und the company giving the best results will get the regular supply. The tapping ot the Gunnlson river , says the Montrosc Enterprise , would bring thousands of acres on the east side of the valley under cultivation , furnish a supply of water for Monlrosc for domestic purposes , and leave the entire How of the Uncompahgre to the people ple of the west side ot that river.

"Early In the waf my husband was In strumental , Loth by his energy and means , In organizing a volunteer regiment In New Turk , of which be was given the colonclihlp , " writes a woman to the Washington" Post. "Our marriage had been a youthful one , and when he bade me goodby to Join the nnny I was a bride ot 20 , and a mere child , as far as any experience ot worldly affairs was con cerned. Not many months had elapsed after his departure until the depressing news came that he had been captured by the confed erates , and was a prisoner In Llbhy. I * was , of course , wild with grief and excite ment , and In my simplicity I felt It some one would go to Washington and sect the prcs'd nt his freedom would In some way be obtained. First one member of my family , then another , tried to convince me of the futility ot such a jnovement. Hut , after a few wretched days and wakeful nights , I made up my mind that I would go to Washington and sec the president myself. I knew my family would prevent me. It possible , so , under the pretense ot spending the night with friends In a distant part of New York , I boarded a nlglil train for Washington. I felt such con fidence In the succtss of my trip as only sim plicity and youth can. "It was not later than S o'clock on a beautiful spring morning when I reached the Baltimore and Potomac dcjrot. I was so eager In my mission , so sure of my success , that I had no thought of hotels , breakfast , or anything else , but went directly from the sta tion to the white house. When 1 rang the bell , I was Informed to my dismay that the president had not yet arisen , and positively would not receive any one before 9 o'clock. I tried to plead for an earlier reception ; told the doorkeeper that 1 was Colonel 'a wife ; that he was in Llbby prison ; that I had come ! > 11 the way from New York to tell the presi dent about It , but the door was closed upon me. llesldes my eagerness to effect my hus band's release 1 was fearful that delay might cause my absence to be discovered at home , I , tremblingly walked to a scat lu the park and Impatiently watted for the hands of my watch to point to 9. Promptly at the minute I was again at the door. " ' ? ' I Inquired. 'Is the president up yet " 'Yes , nudam , ho is nt breakfast , nnd you can not see him. ' " 'But I must see him , ' I repeated , ex citedly. 'Tell him that I am here Colonel 's wife my husband Is In prison ! must get back to New York. * "I suppose pity tat 'my ' almost hysterical condition touched the man's heart , for he asked me to wait , and In a few minutes I waa ushered Into the presence of the presi dent. He was sitting tit a round table near a window of the room his library , I think- before him a cup of coffee and a plate con taining two large slices of bread , cut the full length of the loaf. Up to this moment I had felt that once admitted to his pres ence I could pour forth , my grief and prayers to him In words Jhatwould surely avail. Hut now there was something In the simple presence of that quiet man sitting there at the table that made me speechlisa. I felt that I did not know what to do. I wished I had not come. " 'Well , my little woman , ' said he , look ing at ine over his paper , 'you wish to see me ? ' i i " 'Yes , ' I gaspcd rather than spoke , 'my ( ' husband " 'Tak& that chdtr , ' he'said ' , kindly , seeing my inability to proceed , and after I1 had seated inybelf at the , table opposite him he a iked nie in the most matteroffactway if I had been to breakfast. I told him , with an effort to control my voice , that I had not cared for any. I could not have eaten it , " 'This will never do , ' he said , 'you must cat breakfast with me , nnd while we eat you can tell me your story. ' and pouring a portion , of his coffco Into the saucer and halving the two slices of bread , ho shared the bread with me and gave me the saucer ol coffee. I was beginning to feel more al ease. I glanced at him uneasily to try and catch some Intimation of what I was expected to do. He was sipping his coffee. I tasted a morsel of bread. It was the old pleco' dear 'to every country child bread and butter and sugar. And as wo sat there sipping our coffos and eating our bread something like Pip and Joe Gargery , I have often thought since my awe of the man before me was dispelled and I told him the story of my husband's cap ture and my sorrow , with all ths simplicity and confidence that a daughter would speal to a father , "Mr. Lincoln kindly explained to me thai ho could do nothing for my husband thai It was beyond his power. Ills only hope was that a parole would take place In four weeks and that he would effect my husband's ex change If he could. I was back In New York that evening and never heard a word from Mr. Lincoln regarding my husbanO again. But In Just a little ov ! r four weeks my husband arrived In New York , sick emaciated and In a dreadful physical condl tlon. Hut he recovered , and I always be lleved that bread and butter and sugar o ; Mr. Lincoln's saved Ills life. SHEHMAN AND THE RANKS. He shared all the privations and hardship : of the common soldier.

"Pretty slippery going Uncle Billy ; pretty slippery going. " Oi "Say , general , kin you tell us Is this thread road to Richmond ? " Every soldier ot his army had taken 01 the enthusiasm ot the general himself They would go anywhere that he mlgh point via.

Waul WIDOW OF GENERAL McQLELLAN. The widow ot ' 'L'tlllb Mac. " as Gener : George D. McClelJa'rL was often called b his soldiers , with ' \vjyjni he was populai Is less heard of thnhviCuy of the widows < the great generals of uie war. It Is not lx cause she la a reclunt ) but owing entirely I the fact that she Is retiring In dlsposltlo and shrinks from publicity. One cannot see -Mrs , McClellan. says wilier In the New' York Advertiser , will out conjuring up ( fie great scenes that 01 curred when her husband had com mar ot the Army ot the Potomac. She wi then a young and handsome woman , fu ot hope and ambition , and not at all vali because many In the north called her hu band the "Napoleon" of the war. The : who knew her then agree that the w ; most attractive , and just the woman for great commander's wife. In the blooc battles of the peninsular , when the confe. erates. flushed with victory , were followlr up their advantages under General Lee. Mr McClellan never wavered In her confides and faith In her husband's ability. Tl exigencies ot war kept them separated. In she wrote to him dally , aid such letters ns hero's wife should write. And when tl storm gathered over her husband's head ai the decreewns that ho should surrender his command , tit found hi * best trlcnd , hla truest comforter In ills faithful and devoted wife. Mrs. McClellan lives at the Marlborough hotel In Broadway , New York. Her hnlr li now gray and her form generous In out line. She la medium In height and carries herself with grace and case. Like nil women inclined to be stout she holds her age splendidly nnd her fact > shows few of the tell-tnl ; wrinkles. In conversation her countenance Is often lighted with a sad smile , which gives one a good Idea ot the sweet-faced ulrl whom the West Pointer courtnl and won before war had plunged the land Into grief and sorrow. SURPRISED AND WARNED. "People will never tire listening to war stories , " said a veteran the other day to the Louisville Courier-Journal , "but you never hear any of them telling their running ex periences. It Is not because they never run , for all of us have been through that school. No man ever went Into battle but what was glad when it was .over. The Irgs of the braveit get very weak In tlie presence ot shot and shclt , nml bravery , after all , Is only a matter of honor ; the man without honor Is at coward. The honorable man has nothing to tear , and In battle he would Buffer ten thou sand deaths rather than have a comrade say he failed to do his whole duly But as ta running yes , I have run. Tell you about It ? Certainly. "Ono afternoon , while I was In charge ot the rear guard , on. n. march In Virginia , n number of men dropped out of the ranks for the purpose ot hunting 'apple lack. ' The commanding officer of the guard ordered me to tike a detachment , return to the little town through which we luul passed a halt hour before' and arrest the stragglers. I obeyed tl.e command , and , by fast riding , soon had the 'apple Jack' hunters In charge- . On the return , as It was late in the day , wo moved nt a leisurely pace. A halt mile from the town a lane crossed the road on which wo were traveling. The lane was over a small rise of ground , BO that one could not see very far along Its stretch. "lietwcen where I was riding nnd the mouth of tlio lane I noticed a suspicious object moving along toward us ; It dodged from one corner to another of the fence , ap parently trying to conceal itself. While wondering what the fellow for by this lime I discovered the object was a colored man- was up to I was near enough fo speak. 'Don't stop , ' said the man. 'Go as fast as you can. The 'federates 'II git you. Dey's.rlte obcr de hill , go ns las' as you can. ' I gave the order , nnd away we went , as fast as our horses would carry us. Wo had Just crossed the mouth of the lane when the 'federates ap peared on the summit ot the little lilll. "With the famous 'rebel yell' they came sailing do n that lane , shooting at every Jump. We put spurs to our horses nnd pre sented as small a target as possible by lying low on their necks. It was a hot race , with the chances In favor of the confederacy. For two miles the 'graybacks' chased us , keeping up a constant nnd rapid fire , but , thanks to our horses , we escaped without the loss of a man , That was not the only tlmo that I ran , but the story will sufllco for this time. Wo owed our safety to the 'thoiightfulncss of the 'man nnd brother , ' a debt which I always recall when I hear the race traduced. .AN HISTORIC FLAG. An hlsto'rlc flag is the property of Colonel C. W. Painter of Walla Walla , who carried It through the Yaklma war of 1855. The flag contains but twenty-one stars and bears the Inscription : "Company D , First Regi ment , Oregon Volunteers. " The interesting relic was made by the young ladies of Fqrest Grove academy at the outbreak of the Indian war , saya the Portland Orcgonlan. It was carried by Colonel Painter , who took part In all the engagements of the campaign , nnd to whom it was presented at the close of the war. The flrst engagement was at Yaklma canon , near where North Yaklma now stands , and was the first battle in which Phil Sheridan , then a lieutenant , ever took part. It came Into service again in the Bannock war In 1878 , when Governor Perry appointed Mr , Painter captain of a company of volun teers , and he was assigned to the gunboat Spokane. Their flrst engagement was at Long Island. The volunteers were relieved by the regulars , but Mr. Painter was soon elected captain of another company and followed the Indians to Camas prairie , on the Grande Rondc , where ho captured enough horses to pay the expenses ot his campaign , For his valiant services he was appointed aide-de-camp , with the rank ot lieutenant- colonel , on the staff of Governor Ferry , and was presented with a handsome sword. THE BOYS WERE SCARED. Not long alter the first battle of Manassas , writes a correspondent ot the Confederate War Journal , I was hunting in the neighbor hood of Centervllle , Va. , through which the bulk of the federal army fled. All of a sud den , upon emerging from a piece of woods , I came upon an old woman doing up hei week's washing by a spring. After taking a deep draught i sat down on a log and en tered Into conversation with her. "Did any of the Yankees run back this way ? " said L "Plenty ot 'em , " she said stopping the rub bing process and straightening up , holding e dripping garment In one hand. "Did they give any reason for their running away ? ' said I. "Oh , yes. I hyearn 'cm say thai masked batteries rlz up out ov ths groun' and that thar was a hull division chargln on black bosses. " "Pretty badly scarec they were , I suppose ? " said I , "Well , 1 should say so , " she replied , ns she laid tht wet rag down. "Two of 'em came through my yard and didn't seem to notice me. They didn't have no arms and mltey little clothes on. One of 'em was bareheaded ant barefooted. Sez ho , turnin' roun' anf roun' ' , 'BUI , take a good look. Do you sec any hole : In me ? ' Bill said no , lie. couldn't. 'Well , sez he , 'thank hcavcn , I am alive ! ' " MET AND MADE UP. For repeating to General Butler , then Ir command of the Army of the James , a ells paraglng remark made by a subordinate con cerning the general's military efficiency , at oftlcer in a Pennsylvania regiment was prom Ised a sound thrashing by the odlcer whan he had reported , says the Philadelphia Itec ord , and who , In consequence , had eulTerei a bad quaiter of an hour in the general" ! society. Tlie thrashing' was to bo bestowei after the war was over , at their very firs meeting , no matter under what circumstance It might occur. Tlio two officers bccam prominent civilians In adjoining states. Fo many years one ol them went around nrmei with a revolver ; the other with a blank bal bond. Though often in this city ( where on ot them resided ) at the came time , they neve met until recently , when they cncounterei each other fac to faceIn the surf at At lantlc City. Each had grown so stout as t weigh over 250 pounds , yet they instantl ; recognized each other. Something ludlcrou In the thought ot such vast spheres ot fles engaged In a rough-and-tumble fight ma have entered their minds at the same me 3 1 ment , for they called each other by name nmttcd and shook hands. The feud wa thus terminated. 3 1 Oregon Kidney Tea cures backache. Trlt slzo. 5 cents.
