have spent the past 15 years in look

he is working was once worked as a
placer claim and when first being
prospected Fox saw in the gravel
some blue-black rock which he believ
ed was telluride ore of high grade, as
when heated it gave out blisters of
gold. He waited until it was aban
doned as a placer claim and has ever
since been searching for the vein
from which the rich ore came.

i PETROGRAD, March 31.—The his
tory of the last hour of Emperor
Nicholas as ruler of Russia is related
by the correspondent Rossil of Mos
cow, as follows:
"Two trains arrived .at the station
at Vfshera (on the Moscow Petrograd
railroad, 125 miles southeast of Pet
rograd) on the night of March 14.
One train carried the emperor’s suite,
the second the emperor, Gen. Baron
Fredericks, minister of the imperial
house, and Admiral Niloff, Gen. Za
bel, and others. Nicholas, called from
headquarters by the empress, was on
the way to the Tsarkoe-Selo.
“None of the telegrams announcing
the uprising had reached the empe
ror. Every effort was made to keep
Ihim in ignorance of these affairs. Gen.
I Zabel protested, declaring the empe
1 ror should know of the crisis, and
stating that if the others refused to
inform him he would do so himself.
Nicholas, who had been sleeping, was
awakened at 2 o'clock in the morn*
ing. He went to the dining car and
demanded that Admiral Niloff tell him
! what had happened in Petrograd. He
was told that a crowd of students,
hoodlums, and young soldiers had
terrorized the duma, but that a few
detachments of troops would be able
to put them down.
Just then Commander Yoyekoff of
the imperial train entered with a tel
egram stating that 700 of the St.
George cavalry were on the way to
Tsarkoe-Selo to present a cross to the
'emperor ar.d had arrived at the near
by station of Dno, headed by General
Ivanoff.
“Your majesty." said Voyekoff. “it
is enough that you appear at the Tsar
koe-Selo in the midst of these heroes
and with the Tsarkoe-Selo garrison
go to the duma. All the troops will
'remember their oath. It will be easy
to overcome the young soldiers.”
"It is'a He. your majesty.” shouted
Gen. Zabel. "You are deceived. Head
these telegrams. Here is the order.
‘To thp imperial train at Yisheria;
Ido not send the train to Tsarkoe-Selo.
l ut to Petrograd.' ”
The emperor arose and exclaimed:
“What does this mean? Is it a rev
olution? Is Grekoff (who signed the
!order to divert the train) commander
in Petrograd?"
Then Gen. Zazel spoke out, saying
; "There are 60,000 troops with offl
,cers, backing the temporary govern
| meat. Your majesty has been declar
ed dethroned. It is impossible to go
further.”
Nicholas, completely nonplussed
! exclaimed:
i "Why was I not told before? Why
tell me now when all is finished?”
After a moment he ended with a
gesture of helplessness: “Let it be
so. Thank God. I will abdicate if
that is what the people want. I will
:go to Lividia (the estate of the Rus
sian imperial family on the south
coast of the Crimea) to my gardens.
I am so fond of flowers.”
i The train moved toward Bologie.
At Dno a telegram was received stat

ing that the Tsarkoe garrison had re
volted and that the empress had ap
pealed to the duma for protection.
' Nicholas pondered the situation,
jthen said:
• "I shall go to Moscow. Mrosovsky
j (commander of the Moscow garrison)
iused to say Moscow always would de
Ifend me.”
At Bologoie was received a tele
gram stating that the Moscow garri
Ison had joined the revolution. The
i train returned to Dno, where it met
| the train bearing Gen. Ivanoff. The
(general related everything which had
taken place, adding:
“There is only one thing to do
now. It is to open the Dvina front
to the Germans and let them quiet
the canaille.”
i Nicholas rejected the suggestion,
(exclaiming angrily:
“I shall never become a traitor to
j my country.”
Then Nicholas broke down and
wept. After a moment he said:
“If only I knew my wife and chil
dren were safe, I should go to Ll
vadia quietly to iinish my life and
let Michael govern the country. He
is well liked by the people. I will
sign my abdication and then go back
to the army, say good bye to the sol
diers and let them do as they like. I
ihall not stand in the way.”
This last coloquv occurred on the
station platform. Nicholas, who was
dressed in a soldier's coat with a col
onel's shoulder straps and a sheep
skin hat, tilted back, frequently mop
ped his brow. He gazed about in an
abstracted manner and then mounted
the steps of the car. Thereupon the
train moved off.
