CHADRON , Neb. , Nov. 13 ( Special. )
The towns In northwestern Nebraska , ad
jacent to the Pine Ridge and Rosebud In
dian reservations , notably Valentine , Ilush-
vlllo and Gordon , have experienced a great
deal of trouble by Indians who come In
from the rtscrvatlous and succeed In get
ting whisky. In Valentino lost -week two
Indians were taken to the court of Judge
Towne charged with drunkenness. The ,
court took a stand which at once won for
him the respect of the' best citizens In Val
entine. Ho refused to pun'eh 'the Indians
for their intoxication until the person or
persons who had sold them the liquor could
bo apprehended anil punished , as he snld
that this \\ns the only way to effectually
put a stop to the nuisance. The general
drunkenness among the Indians baa caused
the business men of Valentine to agree upon
hnrolc stcpa to put a stop to the nuisance
nnd a number of piominent business men
swore out a warrant against Chailes Tatc ,
charging him \\lth serring Intoxicating
liquors to the Indians. Tate was Im

AINSWORTH. Neb , Nov. 13. ( Special. )
Ono of the most destructive pralrlo fires
ever visiting this section was that In the
Lakeland district south ot the Calamus. The
flro started In the south and west part of
Cherry county unil with high wimli to fan
It rapidly worltrf Its way eastward along
the south side of the Calamus , destroying
thousand ! of acres of winter range and
thousands of tons of hay put up for the
thousands ot head of stock owned by our
big cattle Interests. J. R. Enders , W. K.
Kennedy and the Smollk boys were among
the heaviest losers , their winter range being
all burned over and their thousands of tons
of bay going up In smoke. R. A. Westover
was lucky In getting off with the loss of
part of his winter range , but others re
port entire loss of both range and hay.
Had the wind been from the south instead
of west all the country south ot Alns-
worth would have been a total loss , and
oven Alnsworth Itself might have been vis
ited by the devouring element. The citi
zens of Alnsworth and surrounding country
turned out en masse and went to the south
land that day and fought like demons to
save property , showing a splendid spirit of
humanity and desire to help those who wcro
la danger of losing their all.

SUNDANCE , Wyo. , Nov. 13. Spe
cial. ) Deputy Sheriff Ricks has re
turned from a twenty-seven-days1
chose through Montana of what Is
known as the "Currte gang , " which Is
composed of George Currle and the Dlxon
brothers , all sal A to bo members of the
"IloIe-ln-thc-WaU" band of outlaws who
have kept Wjomlng , Montana and South
Dakota peace officers In hot water for sev
eral years.
Ono of the recent depredations charged
against Currle and his companions Is the
theft of thirty horses from Mr. Preston , a
horse grower of Gillette. The band of
horses was evidently too large to run out
of the country and after taking them to
wards the Montana line for some distance
the whole herd was abandoned and recap
tured by the owner. Subsequently Currle
took fifteen head of horses from the pas
tures of the Northern Cattle company and
reached Montana with them , crossing the
Yellowstone river at Terry.
Deputy Ricks made up a posse composed
of stock detective W. D. Smith , Chief ot
Police JacUson of Terry , Mr. Preston and
two of his employes and started on the
trail of the thieves. The outlaws did = ome
hard riding , the possa finding a dead horse
on the trail which had been ridden to
death. After a chase of fifteen days the
pease ran onto the desperadoes In the bad
lands of the near Paw mountains. The
fugitives had selected a position commandIng -
Ing the road and fired at the passe with
rides at long range. The posse returned
the fire , about fifteen shots being exchanged.
The desperadoes found the filing too close
and fled , leaving their entire camp outfit ,
consisting of several guns , wearing ap
parel , grub , etc. Twelve head of the stolen
horses were recovered. The trail was again
taken up , but was lost In the bad lands.
The posse traveled In nil 300 miles In
pursuit of the outlaws. It is believed by
the officers that Currlo and the Dlxons
will now go Into the British possessions.
They have been hunted during the past
three months from Ulnta county , Wyo. ,
where they robbed a store at Big Plney ,
across Wyoming and Montana , and officers
throughout both states and South Dakota
ore on the lookout for them.

GERMANS RUSH TO EXPLAIN
Say William's Visit to Spain is
Strictly Unofficial ,
STOPS ARE MADE FOR EMPRESS' HEALTH

WASHINGTON , Nov. 13. It Is understood
that araurances have been given by the
German government that the visit of Em
peror William of Germany to Sp.iln Is en
tirely de\old of official character or signifi
cance ; that the official trip of the Imperial
party ended when It left 1'alcstlno and
that the proposed stop at Cadiz and Car
tagena Is largely a health precaution In be
half of the empress , as the sea trip would
be lonp and arduous It unbroken by these
stops at the Spanish ports.
The assurance appears to bo voluntary
on the part of the Berlin officials and to
be In line with the care taken In that quar
ter of late to minimize and remove the bad
Impressions caused by several Incidents
occurring during the recent war. The State
department had not , so far as Is known ,
taken cognizance of the emperor's move
ments and certainly there was no purpose
of Inquiring as to the stop In Spain , al
though this action by the emperor was
looked upon as rather Inopportune , to say
the least , when the peace negotiations with
Spain are at a critical Juncture and when ,
technically , the war Is still In progress.
At the same time Germany has constantly
reltorited her neutral and friendly attitude
and the emperor himself took occasion In
his last address to the Reichstag to give
strong expression to the German purpose
to maintain the strictest Impartiality be
tween this government and Spain. At the
same time the officials , here and In Berlin ,
have recognized that a strong public senti
ment of animosity was being developed be
tween the people of the two countries nnd
steps have been taken to offset this as far
as possible.
To Promote * Oooil I'collnpr.
The last move In that direction was at a
recent dinner given by Chancellor Von
Bulowat Berlin to Andrew H. White , the
United States ambassador , and Dr. Von
Hellcben , the German ambassador to the
United States , now visiting In Germany. It
was intended that the now assistant secre
tary of state , Mr. Hill , should be ono of
the guests , but'hc was detained In Holland.
Private advices received hero by officials
state that the meeting was Important as It
furnished an opportunity for a free and
full discussion of all the subjects which
have threatened to estiange the two gov
ernments nnd for the establishment of a
much more friendly understanding. It Is
recognized , hovc\cr , among officials , state
and diplomatic , that while official sentiment
Is satisfactory there continues to be an un
dercurrent of HI feeling with the public
and press of the two countries.
Tor this reason the present move ot the
emperor In stopping at the Spanish ports
causes something of a shock In diplomatic
quarters , as It Is felt to be one more ob
stacle In the way of the happy rapproche
ment which was.being executed by the au
thorities hero and at Berlin. It Is with a
lew of minimizing the effect of tm ? visit
that Uio assurancesjirpjjnpwcommunicated
as to Its non-official character. c
The suggestlon iat the1-emperori-raay be
asked by Spain to act as arbitrator- ween
the United States and Spain In case the
Philippine Issue becomes acute , is dismissed
as absurd on the ground that no such plan
would be consldeicd for a moment unless
both countries Joined in a request for it.
The arrival of the emperor at Cadiz and
Cartagena Is awaited with considerable ap
prehension by the German authorities as it
may give rise to a Spanish popular demon
stration open to misconstruction In this
country. With a view of a > oldlng such an
affair the German charge d'affaires at
Madrid has been Instructed to notify the
Spanish government of the strictly unofficial
character of the emperor's visit.

NEW HAVUN , Conn , Nov. 13 The Yale
foot ball eleven returned from Princeton
tonight. They were a disappointed looking
lot of men nnd refused to dbcuss Satur
day's game at all. Durston was perhaps
the sorest man of the squad. In mind , at
least. From -whnt the substitutes had to
sny It to evidently the sense of the squad
that Durston wns not blamtublo for the
unfortunnto fumble ; Hint he believed the
ball to be "down , " but thnt somehow the
Princeton end gnlncd It , and since Captain
Chamberlain followed him down the field he
could not very well dispute the piny.
Neither Captain Chamberlain nor the
coachers. however , would mnke any state
ment. Yale men generally take the defeat
In the right spirit and say that though the
score against the team Is a victory for
Princeton , they cnnnot feel thnt It repre
sents the playing of the two elevens nor
their ability.

Miss ninilro Marie Charpentler of New
Orleans , the last sixteen years of whose
life have furnished a scientific problem , Is
dead. When U > ears old ho began to sleep
longer than was normal , and at the death
of her little brother , to whom she was pas
sionately devoted , h'er sleeping spells began
to be more piolonged. She was IS years old
at that time.
Then she had , an attack of fever and fell
Into a trance which has lasted for sixteen
years , with Intermissions of two hours
dally , when rhc was fed. During these In
termissions she was In the full possession
of her faculties and appreciated her con
dition.
Miss Charpentler was -laughter of Ab-
nolr S. Charpentler of Loblt & Charpentler ,
oue of the wealthiest commission houses In
New Orleans during the antebellum days.
The war swept away their fortune and her
father dleJ , leaving the family's clrcum-
rtimces very sadly altered.
For three dajs before her death Miss
Charpentler evinced no sign of her usuil
wakening , and Dr. C. J. Lopez was called
In. U was hanjj to determine If life was
really extinct , for her condition while In
the trances was deathlike. Every teat was
resorted to before her burial.
The case has attracted widespread atten
tion In the medical fraternity. During the
sixteen years of her trance aho was awake
11,080 hours ; unconscious 140,160 hours.
She was conscious one > ear and ten
months out of sixteen years.
NEW TRICKS OF MINE SALTERS
Scientific Methods Now Necessary to Deceive
Investors.
WAYS OF FOOLING EVEN EXPERTS
of S Inillliiu : ( irouliiK Ili-niil
the Cure of t'niiltnllxtx Clot er
Work In the Klondike
riclil.
Tollowlng In the wake of the miners who
make a general stampede for a new K\ \ Do
rado gold field upon the slightest pretext
come the profcralonal gamblers nnd dare
devil adventurers who live upon the pro
ceeds of the new mines worked by the suc
cessful claimant * ) . Salting mines Is a spe
cies of swindling that prospered more In the
tenlth of California's great gold digging
d vs , rclatcfl the New York Sun , but It has
not by any means died out. It has assumed
new phases , which sometimes make It dim-
cult of detection , and the man who delib
erately follows this business Is something
more than a shrewd adventurer , lit Is a
scientific man as well as ono of cool nerve
and adventurous nature.
The reports of mine salting are already
coming down from the Klondike , and proba
bly more ot the same kind will be heard ot
before another season passes. It would be
queer. Indeed , It the professional mtno setter
did not appear In a field offering such a'-
vantagcs as the new Yukon territory. In
recent years the terror of the mlno silter
has been the trained metallurgist , the pro
fessional scientific man who has taken a
course In some school of mines. In the far-
off region of the Klondike there hns been
ICJB chance of meeting trained experts In
mining , and the swindlers have had to deal
more with practical miners , nhoso knowl
edge of mines Is often blinded and obscured
by the unexpected presence of gold In large
quantities. The credulity of the average
placer miner Is historical , nnd , In spite of
many disappointments and living examples
of fraud ho Is Just as likely to be taken In
by a flrat-cliss mlno salter as were his
predecessors back In the 50s In California.
Bulng or Investing In a gold mlno Is one
of the most uncertain trade transactions in
the world , and the chances of some ono get
ting "skinned" are greater than In horse
dealing. It is a risk to buy the best gold
mlno. It may pan out poorly or It may
make a fortune for the owner. It Is this
uncertainty which lends It a peculiar fas
cination to many persons , nverybody likes
to own a claim or a few shares In a gold
mine ; It may mean so much or It may mean
so little. So many fabulous fortunes have
been made out of unpretentious mining
claims that It Is easy to con\inco one's self
that the flame luck may stilKc > ou. It Is
this lottery chaiacter of the business that
makes It possible for the mine speculator
to sell their shares by the hundreds of thou
sands. They are the chillzcd , legalized mine
snltcrs and their operations affect a larger
number of people than those of the shrewd
professional who tiios to swindle some capi
talist or miner.
Enrly Meilioiln.
In the early dajs of mining an unscrupu
lous swindler would merely scatter around
some gold dust and nuggets In a claim ho
wanted to salt. He would take the tiouble
to mix the gold well Into the surface layer
of loose gravel and earth. Then upon a su
perficial examination It would appear as If
the claim was rich In possibilities. Some ot
the dirt would be taken out and examined.
Naturally It would yield enough to make
the mlno pay fabulous prices. Usually the
deal would bo transacted right then and
there , the mine salter putting In the Inno
cent plea that he was anxious to rctum to
chlllzatlon , and that for a small considera
tion ho would part w 1th what he know would
leap him a fortune If ho stayed to work the
claim. In stories and fiction , at least , the
good-hearted miners would confess that
they didn't want to cheat the lucky owner ,
but If he was so anxious to get homo again
to his family they would put up the neces
sary dust to take the rich claim off his
hands Then after the deal the swindler
would disappear and a week later a general
howl for his blood would go up In the min
ing camp.
All ot this primitive way of salting and
selling gold mines may have prevailed once
upon a time , but It has been long years
since It would answer the purpose. The
mau who attempted to Impose such a glar
ing swindle upon u mining community would
more than likely swing by the neck before
sundown. Salting mines has passed through
various stages until today it Is as much of
a sctonco as digging for the gold. The pro
fessional swindler must meet and deceive
trained metallurgists and ho plays for
stakes so high that one transaction will
net him a fortune.
There Is plenty of capital ready for In
vestment In mines , but capital everywhere
Is cautious. It sends out experts now to find
out whether an Investment Is good. Mining
experts are sent from New York eveiy
week to the various mining regions of the
world to make reports upon the possible
output of claims that are put on the market
for safe. These experts have largo saliiles ,
but their services arc well worth the money
gl\cn to them. . Eveiy year they reveal
frauds to their emplojcrs frauds which the
public ne\er hears about. Quite recently
a mining expert returned from Mexico to
report to a large company of capitalists
that n mine offered to It for a largo sum
had been "fialted" and was not worth $10.
Another man , who has returned from the
Klondike , reports similar swindles In that
northern country. Sometimes the mines ap
pear on the surface to Indicate great de
posits of go > l , but further down the soil
docs not pan out. This Is no fault ot the
owner , nor Is It the result of salting. It
Is for such mines that the expert metal
lurgist must bo on the lookout. At the
best the \uluc of a gold mine Is ono of the
most uncertain and tricky things on the
face of the earth.
The Modern Suiter.
The present-day mlno salter comes to New
York , London , Paris , or other large city , to
finish his swindle. He plays for high stakes
and ho docs his work scientifically. The work
of salting his claim Is not performed In a
day ; It 12 probably the result of weeks and
months of continuous labor. Ho knows what
to expect the careful examination of the
rocks and soil by a trained expert and It
ho cannot deceive him his Jabors are all In
vain. After the work Is all completed ho
takes samples of the dirt with him to show
to the capitalists with whom he tries to
negotiate a sale. This dirt , of course , U rich j
In fine particles of gold , and not e\en the j
best metallurgist In the world could tell
whether It had hi en deposited there by na
ture or by some shrewd swindler.
It was a common practice once upon a
time , according to all stories , to load a
shotgun with tiny pieces of gold , and then
to shoot them Into the > cln of ore. Thla
gUes the appearance of minute particles of
gold In the rocks , but only the credulous
miner on the scene during an Intense ex
citement would be swindled by such a pro.
cess. The trained scientific expert would
laugh at such clumsy salting , and pity
rather than hate the man who attempted
the swindle. It Is the rule now for metal *
lurgUts to make a great number of borings
at various places along the line of the vela
of oro. From each boring samples are taken
and thlpptd to some trustworthy assay
office. The amount of gold to the ton or rock
that these samples produce generally Indi
cates the worth of the mine.
Tor some time after the experts adopted
this system the mine suiters were at a loss
how to get even with them. They could not
salt orerr part ot the vein and they could
not foretell nt what places the experts would
rnnko their borings. The samples of ere
wcro usually packed In bags under the eye
of the expert nnd cnch bag wns marked to
show on a diagram from what place the ere
camp. The bags were finally sealed up aud
shipped away. But one day a shrewd mlno
salter took nn ordinary lopodermlc syringe
and , thrustfng the needle through the bag-
King , Injected a strong solution of chloride
of gold over the samples of rock and dirt.
The operation wnn BO simple and easy that
It was not detected. When the samples were
nsa > ed the ere showed that the mine would
yield several hundred dollars to the short
ton. The expert metallurgist wns deceived ,
the mine was purchased for a big sum nnd
the Inventor of ono of the moat recent meth
ods of salting mines got safely away to
parts unknown before the fraud wns dls-
cov ercd.
Slnco then the chloride of gold"incthod of
Baiting mines hns vnrlod
somewhat , but ex
perts are always on the lookout for the
trick In some of Its many forms. At an ox-
pcnso of $50 ono could pnlnt the faces ot ore
with chloride of gold nnd mnko a poor mlno
produce an excellent showing nt the assayIng -
Ing office. Many a man nnd company have
been swindled by this process. The assaycr's
laboratory on the spot , whoso services nro
freely offered to the examining expert , has
deceived others tlmo and again. It was
some tlmo before a bright metallurgist dis
covered that gold had been introduced In the
bottlcfl containing such rc-ngcnts as borax ,
litharge and soda , Ore obtained from rich
mines Is sometimes dumped Into worthless
mines for salting purposes , but the experts
are not deceived by this trick. They Insist
upon securing their samples by blasting
under their own eyes.
I-oolliiK tin * EvpertN.
If the minors engaged In blasting are
easily bribed to work In the Interests of the
mine owner , It Is not a difficult thing to salt
the mlno under the very nose of the metal
lurgist. Holes are drilled Into the rocks at
places marked out by the expert. When the
dynamite stick Is Inserted Into the hole the
mud taken from the hole is often used to
tamp It. If a swindle Is Intended small
particles of gold are mixed with this mud
when the expert is not looking and after the
explosion the gold Is distributed through
the rock and quartz In such quantities that
the expert 14 amazed. The explosion drives
the gold Into the rocks and nnkes It appear
for all the world like a natural deposit.
Usually this gold Is obtained from some rich
mine , just as nature put it In the earth , so
that under the microscope it shows no
marks that will suggest Its coming from
gold coins. There are scores of sw Indira
perpetrated every year In some of those
ways.
Another common method Is to sell a mine
upon Its record. Such mines hav some
gold and the owners begin to cstnblNh a
record for It In a way that dazzles soaip
who are not experts. The first output is
assayed nnd then the bar of gold Is taken
to the United States go\ eminent sainy
olfice , where a certificate is obtained' ' that a
bar of gold of such fineness and value was
taken from such a mine on such a month.
When the ne\t assaying COIUPS nrouu I this
innocent bar ot gold is melted up vvlUi the
rest of the gold and does sen Ice again In
this way , by using the same innojent bar
a score ot times , a high record of output
can bo obtained and certified to by the
United States assay office. Who vvoulJ
question such a certified record ? None ,
probably , except n metallurgist who has
long studied the wa > s nnd tricks of the
mine saltcr. Some innocent capitalist i ur-
chascs the mlno and saves the largo suinry
of the trained mine examiner. In the end
he legrcts his bargain when it la too late.
Many such transactions are made i-ypry
year. In view of the many ud mlno
swindlers on the field , it would se-m as If
the mine expert was absolutely essential to
the capitalists who would invest their money
in mines. The salting process U confined
to no particular field or motil. Sjme ot
the largest swindles on lecord belong to the
tin and copper Industry. It Is easier sonic-
times to salt these lhan a gold mine and the
tricks of doing It are just as numerous and
deceptive as any used In alleged gold m'nea. '
