It was letter about mining ima'ters, of course, and spoke of rock land lodges, gold and silver, assays, etc land gave such glowing accounts of what he had seen and what would be discovered in some range of mountains laway down on the borders of Sonora, Ithat, although we have never yet had the fever" we felt like throwing down the pen, grasping pick, frying pan and piece of bacon, and leaving on a prospecting trip. Notwiths,and. ing, the contents Of that letter gave every one of those five men to under. stand that they were soon to become i' bl"ated ndholders," and rivals in wealth of Flood, Machey and Fair. l, didn't disturb them a bit; they leaned, and leaned, and leaned upon that cask they whi'tled, and Whttled and spit, land smoked; they took il all in as a matter of course, and if it hadn't happened that one of Lord & Will Hams men wanted to get d sauce di>h Iout of that ca>k for au old lady who was waiting, we believe those men would have been there yet, without lever going home for meals IL was their coolness in hearing of so much wealth in store for them which led u> Ito decide that discoveries of the kind were an every day matter; they didn't appear to care a continental about it. and the only remark that we heard from them was, after the letter was Iclosed, "Oh h-l, that's no;hin."
