A abort year before a pony express rider found some rich chlorldo silver ore In 1'ony can yon , got drunk an a matter of course over 3ila good fortune and boasted of hln flnd nnd exhibited his Bpeclmorfl. Within a month there were over 100 prospectors delv ing In tlio hlllsldiH or Pony canyon , cud within a yrar a town whoae lota were elllng irom , $100 to JG.OOO aplcco graced Its banks. That nllver ore running from $100 to $1,000 per ton was found In the recently discov ered mines was undeniable , for every store nnd mloon possessed a specimen of it. To bo sure , the vein was of the "razor blade" variety ; that Is , while many were very rich they were also very narrow. IJut hope told the flattering tale that when depth was at tained they would Increase In sire. To be Kure , the ore carried no gold , but this wns before the perpetiatlon of "tho crime of ' " 3 , " and ( diver was still good enough for any body , so that made no difference In the rush to the new Kl Dorado akng with the miner ntid the trader came the gambler and the "gun man , " as the Nevada tough was called Pretty nearly every desperado of mote on the coast whose fame had not flickered out with h's llfo bcfoio lln advent haw Austin In ISCI-fil.

One , Harncy Mulligan , came from Sacrammto , where hn had a local reputation ns a "bad man " There was an unlellncd Imprcislon among mcci of his Ilk , however , that ho was more of a bluffer than a dead game sport. One of llainei's strongest claims to hlo reputation as a fighter was that lie was a brother of the celebrated Hilly Ululllgan of San Francisco , Dave Scannrll'a old deputy when sheriff , who was expatriated iby the vigilance committee. Tilt ! COLn.MAN'-MULMGAN FEUD. Now , there was uo denying that Hilly was a man of neivo nnd mighty handy with ( its Kun. Tom Colcinan was a. broid-ahouldered , Jieavy set Irishman , whoso pleavuit smllo and Jovial inaiMior did not betoken tha tough. QIo Had won his spurs on the levee at Sacva anento na a steamboat runner in the early days and had the rcputatloci of being a liad mian to run up against. That fall It was reported that new- mineral liad bete found In a locality about ten miles from Austin , and ( hero was a stampede to the/ new mines. It wad determined to organ ize a new mining -ll trlct and a mlciera * mieeting was called for the purpose of enact ing a cede of mining laws and of electing a Kilning recorder. Now Hie office of raining recorder In u now and llouilshlng district jwas a rich piuni and much cought nfter. There were two catidldatts for the position and 0110 of them , In order to make lilt , calling nnd election sure , had taken the precaution of employing Harncy Mulligan and his bind of roughs to "work" for him at the polls j\s the election wns not governed by law mid e y one that claimed to have located a mlnu la the district could vote. It enabled liarncy to get In some line nork , and up to noon every thing was going his patrcti'o way. Karly In the day tdi > candidate who was being enowcd under by these tactics dropped on the game and posted off to Austin , where ho se cured the services of Tom Ccleman aud hi ( band of toughs to offset the efforts of the iMulllgan gacig. Shortly after noon Colonial and his cohoits appealed nnd the festivities begfii. A dispute urcse os to the right of a ivoter to exist his Ixillot and Colcman slapped tulllgan's face and dared him to resent It , JMuiey weakened and with his forces with drew from the field. Viom tlmt tltno It was cafij salllnr for theColcman crowd , and , o course , their camlli'ato was triumphantly t'lcctctl. 'tho talk of the to\vu was not of the election , but of the kisult to Mulligan ( ini ns to what ho would do about It. The con- .suihiis ot opinion was that ho would do ( nothing though eomo of hla admirals In sisted that lu good time ho would summoi Calcium to the Held of houcc that tile lusull might bo effaced lu blood. AOCOIMHNO TO THR CODE. Soon It was rumored that Hilly Mllllgar m-a ? coming by overland stage to revisit the eccnofl ot his former greatness after his hcven jeans of exile , and that he would stop Jit nt Austin to visit his brother Baniej Fhoitly It was announced that ho wai Ir town , 11 nd the croud In and about the big tttono saloon showed that something more than usual wus on the tapis. It was Illlly [ Mulligan holding a levee. At first ho was a ( Khuppolntmcnt.

Hut a sight of his face change nil this. A resoultc Jaw , a cruel mouth , ami a cold , snaky gray ojo betokened a man whom It would be uimfo to enrage , and who , once aroused , would KO all lengths to wreak Ills vengeance.

It soon became noised about that he jwas going to call Tom Coleman to accoun for his Insult to the House ot Mulligan Opinion was divided as to whether It woul < lie a street light or a duo ) . The partisans o the two factions were seen holding mya tot tons conferences In the back rooms o the principal saloons , and toward night nl Ooubt * wore set ut test , for Clint I'atchon was called Into the conferences of the hit ; ! belligerent parties. Now Clint , through his dissociation with the chivalry ot California in early times , and having participated as a filled with sores , largo lumps formed on rny neck , and a Iiorrlblo ulcer broke out on my Jaw , says Hr. 0.

Kccond In some ot the hostile meetings of that period , was recognized n.i an authority on the code.

So a duel waa to bo , and the when and where was knonn to the favored few that night. It wart to be at the foot ot the grade , about a mlle and a halt below town the next morning at daylight. ox THI : HATTMFIELD. There was no effort on the part ot the authorities to Interfere. The deputy sheriffs resigned their offlcos that they might attend , to resume their duties when the light was over , and the sheriff himself expressed hi * sorrow that ho could not send In his resignation with a string to It so that ho alto might participate. The would-bo ( spec tators made airnngemcnts with the town nollco to be called betlmca In the incr.n- Ing nnd retired to rest. The ghostly dawn of that autumn morning saw a procession of about 200 men steal out of that llttlo moun tain town and take their way down the grade to the appointed battlefield. The principals and their seconds were on tlmo and the preliminaries were soon settled and Clint I'.atchen , as master of ceremonies , an nounced the terms of the conflict. The principals were to bo placed ilfteen paces apart , Ei-mcd with navy revel ers. They were flrst to fire nt the word and then to stand and fire at will until ono was disabled or their weapons were empty The men were placed In position , Mulligan hav ing won the choice. The spectators were on the hllUldu out of range The weapons , cocked , were placed In the hands ct the urlnclnaki , In whom there were cio signs of fear or nervousness. "Gentlemen , are you eady ? " sung out Clint Patrhcn. "One , two , ro ! " Both of the men stood apparently un- urt. "It's no fake , " said one of the poctators , "for I saw the bullet from Mul- Igan's pistol kick up the dust lu the road ohlnd Colcman. " Mulligan had been wounded In some ircvlous affair In his pistol hand and was < bllged to use his left hand In cocking his ilstol. It was certainly a cool and graceful uovclient with which ho performed this unction. The pistols rang out again almost Imultancously and the men stood a.n- larcntly unharmed. Now , however , Cole- nan had some trouble with his revolver. He timed and faced his antagonist trying to ivork his weapon. Mulligan saw that some- hlng vv.m wrong and was quick to taka ad- antnge ot It. iHeforo he had stood v Ith his Ight sldo tow aid his antagonist when recclv- ng his llro. Now he faced him. and , resting : ils pistol on his left arm , took deliberate aim before ho fired. "HONOH" SATISFIED WITH HLOOD. Uvory one expected to see Colcman drop n his tracks , but fate was kind or Mulli gan's aim wns bad , for he was not touched Now one of the spectators saw the blooil spurting from Coleman's right hand that lie iad been wounded by Mulligan's second shot and that was the reason that ho could network work his revolver. IIo announced his dis covery , declared that to proceed with the af- 'alr ' would bo murder , as Coleman was at Mulligan's mercy , and drawing hie pistol swore that ho would shoot the first of the rincipals who would flro under tLo cir cumstances. The other spectators backed iltn with tongue and weapon , and a halt was called In the piocccdlngs U was found that Coleman's hand was so badly crippled that t was Impossible to continue on equal terms , and Mulligan concluded that the blot on the Mulligan honor was effaced by the blood hat dropped from Coleman's good right hand that hand that had slapped the Mulligan face Tims ended the first , nnd the writer thinks the only , duel that ever took place In eastern Nevada. The principals wore [ loomed neither ot them to porlsh on the field of honor. Mulligan came to San Fran cisco , and a few yeans after. In a homicidal craze brought on by excessive drinking , < llled his best friend , Jack McNnb , who was trying to placate him. The police , dcspair- of arresting him , and fo.arful that ho would kill others In his drunken frenzy , shot ilm through the window of hi ; room.

Craven , a gentleman who left St. Joseph , Mo , early In the winter for the Alaskan gold fields and who reached Skag- way and started Inland before ho discovered ho had made a mistake. Is In the city. When ho realbed what ho hid gone up against ho and his companion turned back and ic-achod Gairison yesterday. They stopped there nnd this morning took the local train for Phil- Ipsburg , where they will do their prospecting for a time. The conversation was neces sarily brief , but It v.as instructive. Mr. Craven said : " \\'o left St. Joseph with some money and visions ot fortune. We outfitted at Seattle and after waiting three weeks for a boat reached Skag-way without any trouble. As soon art possible ! we pushed on over the trail , but wo had gene only eight miles before wo had enough of It. We had a good | outfit a tent , blankets , sleeping bags , strong clothing and provisions fcr a year and a halt. The provisions wo left where wo turned around , and they have probably gene to re- llovo the hunger of some other pilgrim before - fore th's. Our blankets and sleeping bags wo brought with us. Our cxpcilenco cost UH $900 apiece , and I do not think that wo Khali try it again. Thcro Is plenty of room up there for all who are going If they suc ceed In getting in , but the trail Is blocked for miles now and Is getting worse all the time. The people In fi&nt have goiio as far as they can get at present , end thu ones be hind are simply packing In in the rear. Wo saw a great ninny women and , htrango to say , they seem to stand the trip better than many of the men. All that Is necessary to guard against Is the taking of cold.s. There Is no othtr sickness at present nmong the crowds. The weather I frightfully cold. Ihose that eay it is mild up thcro do not know what they nro talking about. I never taw such cold weather lu Montana , and I have been hero In some f your coldest weather. The wind blows there with fearful force Yon may not bellovo it , but It Is a fnct , that I have scon the spray of the ocean carried for miles Inland by the galea. It is a hard climate. "Thero Is quite n town at Skagway , mostly tents. You can get a bed in a tent for $2 a night. Wo preferred to pitch our own tent , and wo lived in that whllo wo were thero. Travelers might ns well begin to rough It Skagway as to wait longer , for they will have to begin soon after they leave. "I did not ECO any suffering from hunge" , as the people that I saw were the ones that were just starting Inland , but wo came down to Seattle with a mnn who had cleaned up 150,000 and who had come out from Daw son City , nnd ho said that he passed hundreds of n'tn on the trail who were begging for some thing to cat. It Is Impossible to tiegln to re lievo the wants of these poor men , as a man will soon have nothing left for himself If ho docs. "U Is possible that wo will return to Alaska later , but I do not think that we will. Wo have decided to prospect hero In Mon tana for a tlmo. This Is good enough for us. We will etop at Now Chicago first and go into the mountains from thcro. J tried to talk with some of the men that I mot , who were on their way to Alaska , but it Is not possible to make any Impression upon them. They are determined to find out for themselves , and they will certainly do so before they have gone iur. " of Infei-teil 1'rult. TACOMA , Wash. , March 2. ( Special. ) Fruit Inspector P. W.
