TJIT3 OMAHA DAILY BJ3l- > MONDAY , tTUIAr j , 1805. News of the Northwest , The reports of a namolcM gold discovery near Whitehall , Mont. , has caused a regular ttampcJo to that place from Unite and the stories of fabulous wealth uncovered Increase In magnitude every ( line they are retold , fl'ho facts about the great discovery are re lated by the Jefferson Valley Zephyr , pub lished at Whitehall. Its account Is as follows : "J. J. Mahoney , a miner and prospector , racked his blankets Into camp net long since a 'busted' man , like hundreds of others. SlJlioney had no trouble , however , In secur ing board at the. Whitehall hotel , as ho wai known to be 'iquaro , ' and would liquidate tioino day. The other night he walked Into town again , but this tlmo he had been on a mission and had succeeded , as It w.is soon demonstrated far beyond his wildest dreams. Ho brought In with htm several pieces of rock Btrongly Impregnated with black Iron , chowlng occasional particles of free gold. On being panned It was found to be alive with high grade free gold. The next day Charlie I'errlne , Henry Schmidt and Mahoney went out and located the claim. It Is about ten miles EOUthwest of town , crosses the Hutto road and the location notice on a tree Is plainly visible from the highway. It was mined the Golden Valley not Inappropriate , ns It overlooks the great Jefferson valley , which has already produced millions In gold , stock nnd produce. r „ "Tho proposition Is a curious one , and has puzzled all the real and Imaginary mining experts. Situated in a granite formation , which shows no alteration other than erosion and decomposition , two great humps of quartz stand with thousands of Ions of rock reared above Iho surrounding surface ; between them U n space of about 300 feet of apparently wild granllo , and above and below them the same condition prevails and for only a shorl distance below them Is float to bo found those humps wo know not what else to call them are from twcnty-flvo to fifty feel across , apparently widening as they go below the surface , and seamed with stratas of Mac ! Iron up to ten or twelve Inches thick. Few would suspect the presence of the wealth concealed coaled by this Iron , but when broken open I quickly reveals Itself to the unaided vision nnd upon panning It proves to bo Mousy. ' in deed so rich Is It that many at first refusei to believe It gold. "The news spread llko wildfire , and tin next day a largo number of prospectors wen at the place , but the nearest approach to any Ihlng resembling the Golden Valley Is on ; fraction , discovered by Mr. Hlsley , and ad Joining the original location on the west , 01 which quite a number of locations have slnci been made. NEW TIN DHPOSITS. The Walsenburg ( Col. ) Cactus conlalns a ; account of the discovery of a tin mine nea that town nnd of the formation of the Hay < lcn Mining company by Omaha capitalist 1n work It. The property was located b ; Judge Haydcn several years ago and ha been developed for a year past on the suppo sltloii that It would yield gold or silver. Ai Omaha expert named Carraway makes tin following report on the discovery : "I stated that while numerous specimen of tin ore had been found In various * sec lions of the country , yet nowhere in th United States had a deposit of tin ore o ( sufficient magnitude to work been discovers nnd that I had very grave doubts about till mine being of any value as a tin mine. The ; after assaying several samples of your or end being further consulted I stated Ilia Ihere was no doubt your mine would ylel tin ore. but for1 It to be of any value it mus carry the ore in unlimited quantities. ' "Iho claims are situated in the front o eastern ridge of Iho Greenhorn mountain ! about fuventeeu miles west of Huerfano sla tlon and about twenty miles northwest c AValsenburg. The mine lies up In a cano about n third of a mile , the rest of the tcrrl lory between the mine and railroad being al most level plains. "Tho shaft Is perpendicular , eighty-Hire feet deep with a crosscut loward Ihe west c about twenty feet. About sixty-three fee down from the mouth of the sliaft a vein c dyke , or wall of hard , primitive rock cf granlto character was struck. This vein : the principal tin-bearing ore. It Is nc granite , bul Is of a granlto character , bein composed principally of felspar , quartz , Ire nnd mica. It Is of a dark greenish , gra color , very hard1 and compact. I took 01 100 pounds of this rock , sampled it dowi panned II In a gold pan and brought the cor centrated ore to my laboratory , whore It ai Rayed rich In metallic 1ln. "As * to the depth of Iho vein no one ca tell positively , only that It Is certain to ru down a great depth. Judging from II formation surrounding the vein 1 am certal It extends hundreds of feet Into the eartl I measured the vein anJ found In sight 000 000 cubic feet of ore. Adjoining this vein < < lyko la a Email vein of brown decompose rock which carries quite a Irace of blsmul nnd I am strongly of the opinion that lowi down suirtclcnt bismuth may be obtained make qul.e a by-product. The tin Is In form that can easily be extracted , and cc talnly present in raying quantitls. So , fun mlng up , you have an ore carrying tin ' paying quantities ; you have an abundance that ore : you have all the necessary facil ties for dressing It and I am bound to e press my most earnest opinion that you ha' as good n tin mine as there Is In the world A MILLION-DOLLAR FIND. The news received from Panama th $1,000,000 In Spanish gold and silver coin hi been unearthed on Cocos Island has fllh thirty residents of Stockton with cxcll mont , and has caused a similar fcellt among their friends. It Is not yet known 1 - . whom the discovery was made , but If tl finder Is Captain Gelsler the thirty Stoc' tonlana will have each an equal share wi him In the uncovered wealth , says n Sloe ! ton special to the San Francisco Chronicle. About three years ago Captain Gelsl poured out a tale of future wealth to Jaci Simon of this city and some of Simon friends. He explained how he came In possession of the secret of the location the treasure burled on Cocos Island , ai was earnest In hla desire to go In quest the forlunc. As foon aa the local men becanio satlsfl that they could depend upon Gelsler a ; that his story had some foundation in fni they organized an expedition to search f the wealth which Spanish pirates sunk the famous treasure Island. They got together $4,000 for this purpc and secured a trim schooner , which th dubbed the Hayseed. The vessel was fill out under the direction of Captain Oelsli She was thoroughly equipped with everytht necessary for the expedition and Ihe lit band of Stocktonlans who had raised t money to send her on her treasure hu hoped for great things , but they hoped vain , aa the treasure seekers returned empl handed. Qelsler was not daunted and still kept negotiations with the Costn Hlca govei mont , to which the Island belongs , and al kept up his correspondence M.th Simon a hla partners. Last January Gelsler wn from Now York to Mr. Simon , enclosing copy of an agreement with the governnu of Costu TUca , by which Gelsler was colonize the Island of Cocos within one y < with fifty families of Americans. In cc slderatlon of his doing1 this the represen tlvo of the Stockton company was to rccel 15.000 acres of land on the island. When Oelsler wrote this letlcr he si lie was about to start for Cocos once trtl to make another effort to secure the treasi and at the same tlmo to carry out his agr ment with the Central American republ What the local people would like to kn now Is whether the find of oer $1,000 , < was made by Gelsler.

It was t : teacher who brought to the Whittlers c evening a volume of Hums and read ale some of the poems , after explaining I Scottish dialect. Whittier begged to borr the book , which was almost the first poe : ha had ever read. It was this volume Burns which aet Whtttlor to making ver himself , serving both as the Inspiration a the moJol of his earlier paellc efforls. 1 Scottish poet , with his homely pictures ol life as bare and as hardy as that of N England then , first revealed lo the Amerlc poet what poetry really was , and how might bo made out of the actual facts his own life.

Ills father consequently quently nskel the circus rider to let his boy ride. Ourando Kuen. showing In his fact' vrfect satisfaction , rode on the neck of the lorso and appeared as If he was persuading ho horse to go. One day , when ho wns > older , ho was playing ball by his own house , and ho accidentally brnko a glass window of ils neighbor. Having regretted what he had lone , he mae ! up his mind , and went Into : ho neighbor's house , nnJ excused himself lo : he lord of the house , faying : 'I accidentally jroko the wlndnw of thy honorable house. I : iavo no word to excuse myself. The only thing I can do IP to my father tell , a new- glass window buy , this loss repay. Plento excuse. ' This house lord , having unusual thoughtfulncss , without any condition ex cused his sin. Indeed , Ourando Kuon's tieavenly nature Is like n serpent which has Its own nature when It Is but ono inch long. * "From the tlmo of his birth ho was dif ferent from an ordinary baby. His body was large. He weighed 1 kwan , 292 me. As he grew , his thought became deeper ac cordingly. 11 was seen by the eye of every man.

" And Ihey went away and got a pistol , and gave It to the hand of ( iurando Kuen , and pulled the trigger. Then rame out a bullet like a thunder storm. The baby was not afraH of It , and never changed the color of hi ? face ; but pointing to the pistol , asked an other shot. The father , as well as the bad boys , was astonished ; and there was no OIK who did not roll his tongue. " TIIK WAY WK PAID THK WAH DBHT. No nation ever took a braver course , says President K.
