A California Mining Story.

Not many miles from Shasta City is
the gulch, of which the following min
ing story is told. 1t is a pretty deep
ravine, with rocks showing all the way
up the sides. Gold in paying quantities
had been found along the stream, but it
seemed to disappear few feet from the
channel. One day, while a gang OF
busy men were toiling in the stream,
came along and leaned on ragged ell
bows to watch with protruding eyes the
results of their toll The miner nearest
him toek out $5 nugget, and anxiety
overcame the greenhorn. "S-a-ay," he
asked, .swhere can 1 go to diggin' to
find it like thatPn The hardy miner
stopped his work, and giving the wink
to all the bows. so that the joke should
not be lost, pointed up on the barren
rocks where no gold had ever been
found. "Ye see that rough looking
placep' "Yes, yes, said the new hand.
ssWell, thar it is rich. Jes We stake out
claim an go ter work, an when we
finish here we'll come up, too." Then
the new hand thanked the honest miner
and the boys all grinned appreciation OF
the joke That afternoon there was
solitary figure picking away on the slope
and every time the miners looked up
they roared with laughter. But about
the next day the greenhorn struck
pocket and took out something like
$50, 900 in few minutes. Then, inno-
cent to the last, he treated all around
and thanked the miner who sent him
up there, and took his money and went
down into the valley and bought him
farm. Then the unhappy miners arose,
leaving their old claims and dotted the
hillside for many days. But there were
no more pockets anywhere. The whole
thing reads just like a traditional fairy
story. But then saw the gulch. Much
more unbelievable things have happen
ed in the mines.-San francisco BuI-

Frank Miller, says the Kansas City
Journal the accomplice of Green in the
murder of Deputy Marshal Hughes, is to
be executed 1t Lexington next Wednesday,
May Sth, urless something IL done either BY
the supreme court or Governor Phelps. His
attorney, Major B. L. Woodson, is now in
Je6erson City doing his best to induce the
supreme cont to graft new trial, but no
news from him will Be known before Mon.
day. II 1t that time the court hes not dis-
posed Of the case, it is thought to be quite
probable that Governor Phelps will grant
him thirty days respite, to give the court
time TO decide. 1t 10 now the general
belief q we'll n the general hope that the
Governor will commute his sentence to i'm
prisonment for life should the court refuse
to grant new trial. The general impress
sion here a. we'll o. in Lexington is that
Miller will not be hung. but that Governor
Phelps will yield to the entreaties OF the
citizens and commute bis sentence. Parties
from Lexingto.,, Who have seen and con.
ver.ed with Miller, state that he is in low
spirits, but thinks he will be granted . new
trial, which the majority Of the public
think 10 very doubtful.
