In 1874 party Of men left Council
Bluffs, Iowa, to 60 to Oregon. They
came across the plains, to go to Ore
gon. They came across the plains,
and when they reached the hunting
grounds OF the Shoshones theg pro-
cured an Indian guide named Tfackee
This Indian accompanied them 81 iir
Suffers Fort. In trayeTslng this
region, the Indian tc!d them Of a
rapid river that flowed from one great
river to another. The party did not
reach this river as soon as they ex
pected, and they began to look upon
So Truckee's river" as river of the
mind, flowing fiction. " Trl,ckee's
river was for time frequent jest
upon their lips, and when at last they
reached the stream he described, they
had already named it. From "Truc=

toad, which, according TO statements
Of geologists, must be at least 5000
years old. He was found alive in June,

vein, shaft No. IS, sixty feet below
the surface. When discovered it vas
somewhat shriveIed looking, being
similar to good sized grass hopper.

Quite a novelty in metallugy is re-
ported TO be one Of the features of a

sists in the separation Of the gold by
liberation through or agitation with

is thereby reduced from its solution
and precipitated in the metallic state
on the surface Of the charcoal, coat

of gold. This singular phenomenon
seems to be a physical and no: a chem

This seems to be the land of strange
and Stubborn facts, which are sur
rounded by a halo of fancies that
beng round about, like the nearly
ec:ipsed suns corona, shoots out scin.

Not long since we narrated the exist
eEce IN cur camp of couple of lady
pEyspectaailrsf, who were located in Clin-
Sf'Tl ea' Ls,cw we are called upon
tosbrins to the notice of our readers
a person fully as interesting. About
the first of July a young and aspiring
lady came to this camp. Having been
denied the small boon in her own
state Of an opportunity to earn an
honest and virtuous living, she sought
the grand state of Colorado. Having
arrived in Denver some two years ago,
she secured employment, and for a
time everything seemed to favor her !;
but an evil time came, and she, unable
longer to obtain means of sustenance
III that city, went to Golden, where
she procured employment in the family
CT MIR. Kimball, was again happy. and
In short time accumulated some
money, bat owing to certain unforeseen
causes she was again thrown On the
mercies of the cold world. As the
door of her late home closed behind
her, she paused a moment, and then
III her Imagination saw her guiding
angel pointing the way up the noun
tain, and to her it was forbidden to
look back. In the life OF every one
there are sudden transitions Of thought
and object which appear almost in
spired. At once she resolved to come
tC the mountains, and then the dark
clouds of trouble melted, the wind of
diversity fell, and security succeeded
the storm Of despair. Her resolve

waste her time III vain regrets, but

and discreet desires-to live wisely in
the present, and make the mysterious
future bring a reward which would be
wealth and happiness So to kokomo
she came, and put up at Mr.. Bergen 5
house, procured a pick and shovel, dis
g,ised herself, and proceeded to scale
the mountains and descend into the
gulches. One bright morning fortune
favored her. Striking her pick into
the side Of Jack mountain, her pros
pect of a fortune was reached. She
Immediately went to work and sunk a
shaft some sixteen feet, which gave
daily and houreIy encouragement. 50
the time came when she disposed of a
certain interest, realizing a good con
sideration tllereiroin, and her work Is
being stead.iy pushed, while the re-
naaining interest IS growing more val

THE REASON WHY.

eff your mine is as valuable as you
represent it to be why do you wish to
sell it for mere nominal sum ?" This
inquiry is perhaps more frequent thar
any other among those to whom
mining properties are offered. 1t Is
easily answered from chapter Of our
own personal experience, which is
that of all the guild OF prospectors.
The prospsctor is always a poor man.
Men of wealth never personally en-
gage in that kind of business. When
lode or deposit is uncovered-and
they are for the most part found near
the surface,-the expensive work be-
gins. The law requires that before a
valid title can be obtained, mineral in
place must be defined, terms of law
which every prospector understands.
Few shafts pay the expense of sinking
and tlmberlng from the proceeds of
the ore taken out, and very few min
efs who understand the business will
drift or stope at a less depth than
from fifty to one hundred feet. Hay-
ing no money and only grub stake
to begin with, and the discoverer
knowing that unless the ore is Of ex-
traordlnary richness, and the vein
very large, he cannot do the. sinking
without assistance, he offers his pros
pect OF a argeAterest in it for sale to
the first man who may be willing to
pay his price. The buyer, if unfamiliar
with mining, never thinks.sthat the
shaft must be timbcsed from top to
bottom as the sinking proceeds, and
that both sinking and timbcrlng are
expensive. At the depth of seventy
FIVE to one hundred feet, horse or
steam power must be used for hoist
ing. All these improvements are
costly, and until the. mine is well
opened, whieh cannot be accomplish: J:
YEA ahesstttxse Auaazsii feesy 10 ..a1ss
\ s 3
/ profits need be looked for. This
every miner knows, and proceeds to
sell if he can upon this understanding.
In this manner capital comes into
possession of all the best mines in the
! country, because it has the very force
which the prospector has not, and
without which few mines can be put
upon paying basis.-Lnte,- Ocean,.

Some Of the mining camps Of Colo-
RADIO do not seem to understand the
Importance of supporting their local
