HOW AN ONYX FIELD WAS FOUND, FrUaur tar IZMcrilon Wailed le Bedla-

cever II.

One of Undo Sam's soldiers who la A prisoner on Oorernor's Island, Is looking forward to the day when he Is to be set at Ub:rty with a good deal of

and pleaaant anticipation, the seem to an onyx field In

northern part of this state, and his letentidn on Oorernor's Island HTtbe oniy thing that stands between him and a handsome reward for locating the field for a company that has been formed by a number of capitalists to quarry the, stone. The soldier has a standing offer of 91000 In cash. 12000 In stock of the company and a place with Uie company at a salary of *26 a week

As long as the quarry pays.

A stranger visited Oorernor's Island last week and obtained permission to talk with the prisoner. It was then that tfce offer was made, and the story leaked out A Tribune reporter met the visitor on the boat coming over

from the Island to the Ball "We have made a substa

to the soldier,” be said, "If he will direct us to the onxy field, but he steadfastly refuses to divulge a syllable until he 1s released. The sooner he obtains his freedom the sooner we will be able to reap our harvest We realize that thoroughly, and will make every effort to have his term shortened. Powerful Influences will be brought to tear on the authorities at Washington, and we hope to free him soon. He is wide awake to -uu fact and makes

his release one of the conditions. "He discovered the onyx field accl

dentally. Before he enlisted in f he army he lived in the upper part of the state, and was an ardent hunter after

game. One day while out with bis

gun he spied a deer and gave chase. The deer led him over a' rocky hill.' The sides of this hill were very steep, and to ascend It the hunter had to cut niches In the stone to get a foothold. He was attracted by the brilliancy and txauty of the pieces of stone and placed

eral of them In his pocket When

he returned to Syracuse, where he lived, be gave these pieces of stone to

1 of his friends as souvenirs. A

piece of the stone, with Its history.
