1t will be remembered that at the last
Co. Fair, Mr.. Chas. Porter of Lamberton
had some samples of Amber Dent corn
which attracted considerable attention,
on account of its immense yield of 40
bushels to the acre. Mr.. Porter requests
us to state that he will sell this corn for
seed, at S1.10 per bushel. He can be ad-
dressed at Lamberton or orders can be
left at Baldwin's feed store in this place.
That it weighs as we'll it yields will be

Stories From the Mines.

MANY stories are told of the manner
in which the first discoveries of gold in
California were turned to account by
ingenious spectators, and among them
are the following: In one district the
gold-dust was mixed with large quanti-
ties of fine black sand, which the
miners-most of whom were raw hands
blew off from the gold in their anx-
iety to arrive at the ore itself A keen
old man turned their impatience to ac-
count by shamming lameness, and pre-
tending that in his weakly state he was
not equal to the toll of mining, and wss
thus compelled to resort to the poor
and proftless branch of gathering the
black sand, which he sold as a substi-
tute for emery. He used to 90 about
on an evening with a large bag and a
tin tray, requesting the miners to blow
their black sand upon it, and returning
with it to his hut. By the aid of quick
silver he was able to extract the gold,
double in quantity to that which was
obtained by the Understanding miner
at tne WaSnlngS.
Tricks of every kind were played
upon newcomers in search of the gold
en- treasures. One story is told of some
American associates who had been
working at an Improbable spot, put
ting up a notice that their valuable
site' was for sale, as they were going
elsewhere. A few Germans who had
just arrived offered themselves as pur-
chasers. The price asked was exorbi-
tant, as the proprietors stated that the
"diggings' returned large amount OF
gold, and the following day was ap-
pointed for the Germans to come and
see what could be produced in the
course of few hours working. The
sellers went during the night and secret
ed the gold-dust in the banks, so that it
would come to light, as natural de-
post, when the earth was turned up.
The following morning the poor Ger
mans were so delighted with the appar.
ent richness of the place that they gave
a large sum of money and two valuable
gold watches for the property. The
Germans were laughed at; but they
went to work, and actually succeeded
in raising large. amount of gold be-
meath the spot where the others had
Sharp County record., 1880-06-24

left off. The Americans were tpuSo
wltted in turn, and endeavored to get
repossesslon OF the place by force; but
another company of Germans arriving
they were obliged to decamp. o.
An old miner relates this story.
"While working on Rock Creek, the
weather being very hot we always had
near us a can of water, and close to il
we put teacup to hold the particles of
gold as we collected them. One morn
ing as we were at work thirsty dirper
came by, who asked permission to take
a draught of water, which being grant
ed, he filled up the cup, and quaffed off
the costly drink, without either drink
ing our healths or leaving the least sed-
iment at the bottom. | suspected at
first that some trick had been plaved
upon us, and he had secreted the gold;
but from the evident distress of the
man, and the earnest manner in which
he promised to repay us when he cot
work. i firmly believe that he had swal-
lowed the gold, not having noticed it in
the cup"
Scarcely twenty-three years have
elapsed since the gold yield in Califor-
MIA became an undoubted fact, and
within that period many mill
ions of dollars worth of gold-dust
has been added to the wealth of the
world. But even these results have
been eclipsed by the wonderful discov-
cries of gold in Australia. SO exten4
sivehy are the gold deposits distributed
throughout that great country, that
Melbourne, the capital, has been said
to be paved with the rich metal, the
broken quartz rocks which have been
used to make the streets being found to
contain gold.-Huper'S Young People.

THE anglers theory that fish does
not suffer much physical pain from
hook in his gills, or mental agony
either, for that matter, is supported by
the recent experience Of Stratford'
Conn, fisherman. A large trout tore
two hooks in quick succession from the
line, and was finally pulled up on the
third, with the first two in his stomach.
