B. and Luther EUett, lived in Nemaha county, Kansasi. Luther chose the part of the wanderer and went west, pre sumably to Colorado, and nothing more was heard of him except vague reports that ho had been killed* by Indians. The war came and A. B. Ellett served four years in the union armj*, coming out In incompletely broken in health. He returned to Kansas and settled down on his farm near Sabctha, where he remair.eil until recently. He ac cepted rumor ns truth and, not getting any letters from the brother, regarded him as dead ^ In 1880 he was atlllcted by the breaking out of an old woun and was confined-to his room for man weeks. During thaj. time ho dreamed' that his brother was alive and in Pres cott, A. T. It,seemed that they were together In the mountains, and in pass ing down a canyon tboy discovereda fabulously rich gold mine a few mile# from an old abandoned shaft once expedition, which Was to start on • perilous voyage into the North seas in search of Lieut. Grecty and hH^men, The terrible experience of that exposi tion is well known. Some one a&j||ed him the other day what he thought of the Peary expedition, tils eyes lighted up with enthusiasm. “Lieut. Peary is the only explot^t who has gone into the northern ics who knew exactly what ho was going to do. P confess I didn’t think he v. ou Id be successful, because I never thought he could reach the top of the ice-cap, but,.he had his plans laid jiU right and knew what he was about and com pleted his work nobly. People who have never seen that ice enp^ cannot irn* agine what an awful obstaifc^'it is to surmount. It looks as if an enormous piece of the earth’s surface had just been turned up and stood on end and kept there.' Words cannot describe4$, and a man can climb all day and thejr In the evening lean over and drop a bis cuit Into the very camp he left- hour* before. Peary went at It in a business like way, and after he reached the ice pack beyond ho hot^a comparatively eaAy time. Yes, sir, tn my opinion he is the only Arctic explorer who ever showed he knew anything about hit work.** _ SAVED BY A AIM.

C.^ littlOfinsprcsaion on him, but the next night it was repeated, and even the trees ifhd the outlines of the mountains were perfectly impressed on his mind. He did not hoed the possibility of the mine being there, for the smell of hay had never been out of his nostrils, and he did not know quartz from lava, but he thought it worth while to make some inquiry about his brother, which he did. A letter directed to - the postmaster at Prescott brought the information that hi* brother was an.old resident, but was then out in the mines. A correspond ence began between the two brothers^ and during its conree the part of the dream relating to the mine was di vulged. Being in that vicinity one day Luther EHctt looked for the mine but found nothing. The matter passed along until a month ago, apys tne San Francisco Chronicle, when the Kansan brjrther concluded to visit his relative in Arizona, and at the same time to46ok at the country. He still had an Inclina tion to look. for the mine, but was ashamed to own ft.- His brothor met him in I’refccott, and After staying a few days there they went to the mountains and visited the old abandoned mine. When they approached it the Kansas roan recognized the oonntry as the one he had scon in his dreams, and told even how the shaft was situated with regard to the mountains and canyons- with such accuracy that his brother was filled with astonishment, but he was au old prospector and a belief in dreams was not one of his superstitions. When they arrived at the spot Mr. Ellett said it seemed to him that he had often been there before, and after look ing over the ground they took a pick and walked westward toward th* point Indicated by the dream. In crossing the canyon the prospector stumbled on a very rich ledge and exultantly ex claimed that they had found the mine. The brother answered that It might bo rich, but the one they were in search of was richer. Climbing up the other aide of the gulch, they came to the spot where the dreams had located the lode, but there was nothing in sight but half-decomposed granite. The perfect resemblance of the land marks had so excited their hope that they were disappointed and stood for some time talking the matter oyer. While so standing tlie one with the pick began picking on the Shelving rock ami a great piece of it fell down, exposing a blind ledge of white quartz resplendent with free gold. Tltoy worked into the mass, find it to be about thirty inches in width and widen ing ns It went down at an angle of forty-five degrees. The prospector stayed there, afraid to leave the mine for fear of cl aim-jumpers, but his brut her brought a sack of the samples to Phrcnijrund the assays go two thou sand six hundred dollars in nineteen dollars to the ounce gold. Satnplee have also been sent to the mint at- Francisco for testing.
