That the miueral discoveries in Bear Gulch and the La Plata mining region are all right and a permanent rich thing is already proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the work of development dur- ing the last few days. The Wardleigh claim, which is one of the best galena finds yet developed shows a solid ledge of galena running uniformly 80 per cent, in lead and a fewjounces in silver. Mr. Wardleigh has put in much ualreadjjad ia vigorously pushing on. Notwithstanding r eports to the contrary his claim IS NOT SOLD AND IS NOT FOE 8ALE. He is sure of a good thing and the claim is worth as much to him as to anybody, bo he proposes to work it In the Sunyside mine in the south part of Bear Gulch the work of development has unresulted already in covering a large solid ledge of crystalized lead which runs 83 per cent, lead and a very few ounces of silver. It is proving to be the value of the new discoveries and the richness of the whole region appears to his experienced judgment simply wonderful. Nick Treweek of Salt Lake returned to Ogden last night and immediately set out for La Plata where it is well understood be will endeavor to get hold of something probably in conjunction with Hon.

He is at the head of the Horse company, which miles north of Denhas ranches Hfty-tw- a ver and ten miles east of Greeley. The range is divided into five ranches, with an area of 8,500 acres, and covered with the finest alfalfa grass. The company is made up of the following persons: Stu-d- e baker Brothers of South Bend, Ind , Edward Hal6ey; Senator Fred S. Fish and James Murphy, th varnish manufacturers, all of Newark, N. J., and Mr. Lamb, of Clinton, Ia., a rich lumber dealer. The capital stock is $500,000, all paid up, and at the close of the present fiscal year it is to be increased to 11,000,000. The ranch isstockedup with 4,800 horses, or Clydesdales all of Percheron-Norma- n blood. The breeding is done with twenty-sePercheron-Normaven stallions imported by the company. There are only two other places in America where this magniticient specimen of the draught horses is raised Bloomington, 111., and Central New York. But this is the largest and, in fact, the only extensive horse ranch in the country. Negotiations are now pending for the handling of heavy jack mules, and Mr. Wolf expects to leave in a few months for Madrid, Spain, to import twenty-tiA- e jacks. The market for mules is confined almost entirely to the west and south, while the east and north demand horses.

Balmaceda, Mr. Ivins says, is an man of gieat forbearance, and he acquiesced in the demands of the liberal leaders as When it became evilong as possible. dent that to further submit to the Congressional despotism would be virtually to abdicate his office, serious trouble began. Congress refused to pass appropia-tio- n bills and charged that thepresident had a candidate to succeed him, whom he was trying to force upon the country. To settle this difficulty, Balmaceda the gentleman in question to a cabinet office, thua camoving him from the list of candidates. Then, notwithstanding congress has no power of impeachment, the majority passed resolutions declaring the presidents office vacant, because of his failure to submit to Congressional dictation. Then, on January, came open rebellion. The opposition majority in Congress declared itself the governmont; went on board with mutinous naval the officers and scoured the coast for a place to lay with navy in a state of mutiny. It became imperitively necessary to maintain internal order at any price. The majority in Congress having disrupted the government, the president was left without one of the constitutional branches of the government. Because these members of Congress had themselves violated the constitution, debauched the navy and abandoned their posts it did not follow that the president should abandon his. The obligation on him was greater to remain and protect the internal order and external safety of the state. d, broad-minde- d men-of-w- So Sws at Washington. Washington, Aug. 29 Up to noon in to yesterday's regard today nothing battle at Valparaiso was received at the headquarters of the Congressional party in this city. The envoys hardly expect any detail's of tho fight by telegraph to- day. The party leaders at Iquique, they say, have many important matters to attend to and no doubt think a mere an nouncement of the result will answer for the present. The envoya expect more definite news, however, by tomorrow. The insurgent leaders, it is thought, will remove their headquarter from Iquique to Valparaiso, so as to be in direct communication with the army. Pedro Montt, the principal congressional enroy at Washington, who has been out of the city for some time, returned today. He had not heard the news of the surrender until informed of it by Foster this morning. He was almost beside himself with joy. Inquiry at the home of Senor Lazoans, the Chilian minister, this morning dieted the sole response that the minister was "not at home" and there was no one in the house to represent him. Balmaceda and His Minister. Washington, Aug. 29. The unexpected turn of alfairs in Chili is the sub ject of paramount interest at the state and navv departments today.

Aa long aa Balmaceda remains in possession of Santiago, the capital of Chili, and until the congressional party shall have established a de facto government which our minister report is really the government of the cruntry, the department of state cannot have relations with thecon- gressional parly, and must continue to recognize lialmaceua aa president and Senor Lazcaoo as minister of Chili. Washington, Aug. 29. At a late hour tonight the congressional envova in this city received e dispatch from E Irazuriz stating that the first day's fighting the enemy lost l,5i)0 men and an equal num ber of prisoners were captured. Iwo thousand nllcs were taken and a number of field pieces. The congressional loss 50S, and among the killed were five otli cers. In the battle of Placilla yesterday the defeat of Balmaceda was complete. His generals, Barbos and Alcarrior, were killed and many other ofV.cers. The whereabouts of Balmaceda is unknown. Senor Lazcano, the Chilian minister, denied himself to all newspaper re porters today. It is not believed, bowever, that he received any dispatches from Chili. A later cablegram was received from Eirazuriz regarding yeeterdny'o battle, Baying that Balmaceda's troaps num bered 12,000 men. 1 hree thousand pns oners and all his artillery was taken.

Then, t oo the strength of th.- in surgents' navy was greatly exaggoraieu At the same time, Todd said, the people in Chili could be readily bought and no change in the relative strength of armies need cause great distress. er Knows Nothing of It.

The World will publish tomorrow, exclusively iu America, but in conjunction with the London Tunes which holds the original manuscript of the pamphlet prepared by tha family of the late Baroneaa Marie Yetzera, who waa found shot to death. together with her lover, Kudolph, crown prince of Austria, at Maye 'ling, the 30th of January, ISfft). The pamphlet waa suppressed by the Austrian Imperial Family. The pamphlet tells the whole story in a circumstantial manner backed by autograph letters, as to leave no doubt as to its value aa a historical doc ument. The important feature is the infamous part plaved in the trag lens no a by personage edy than a niece of the Liaprtsa of Austria. The pamphlet accuse her of being not only an intermediary but a blackmailer aa well. Briefly summarized the story is that the Baroness Yetzera, then seventeen years old, fell in love at first sight with the crown prince and frequently met him in an ordinary social way. Finally she entrusted the secret to the Countess Larisch, the Empress of Austria's nice, and this lady at once undertook to act aa a while taking advantage of her knowlecge of the state of a rfoira fer-- ieybft;kaKM 1 the prince. At one time the mother of the girl suspected something amiss, but the Couutess Larisch was ready with a p!a"ible tale.

The truth of a double suicide, or a murder and suicide, is at last definitely established by this publication. The pamphlet shows the prince's mind has long been given to thoughts of suicide, but Marie did her best to dissuade him from this fatal step. It waa not until hope for both of t'nem fled that she resolved to share in death. Frr the first time is the indignities offered her dead body; how she was carted away in a sitting posture between her two uncles, even the coffin being denied her rclativea when moving her; how her mother waa persecuted and villified; how everything waa done to lay blame on the girl, forms a harrowing story, as told by her mother.
