Eos Angelss Aerald,
Sailing n Claim.

II wish that you would explain
to me all about this sailing Of
claims that hear so much about"
said q meek-eyed tenderfoot to q
grizzled old miner, who was pam
ming about six ounces of pulverized
quartz. ~ don't see what they
want to salt claim for and don't
understand how they do it,"
"Well, you see, hot season
like this they have to salt a claim
lots of times to keep it. A fresh
claim lie good enough for fresh
tenderfoot, but old-timers won't
look at anything but a picked
claim. You know what quartz is,
probAbly?p
"No.u
"Well, every claim has quartz.
Some more and some less. You
find out how many quartz there
are, and then you put in SO many
pounds of salt to the quart. Wild.
cat claims require more salt, be-
cause the wildcat spoiIs quicker
than anything else. Sometimes
you catch sucker, too, and you
will have to put him in brine pretty
plenty ,or you will lose him. That's
one reason why they salt claim.
Then, again, you often grub-stake
q man"
"But, what Is grub-stake?n
"Well, q grub-stake is a stake
that the boys hang their grub on
SO that they can carry it. Lots Of
mining men have been knocked
cold by q blow from grub-stake.
What I wanted to say, though, was
this: You will probably at first
strike free-milling poverty, with
indications Of something else.
Then you will, no doubt, sink until
you strike bedrock or true-fissure
gopher-hole, with traces of disap-
pointment. This is the time to
put In your salt. You can shoot 1t
into the shaft with double-barrel
shotgun, or wet it and apply it
with white-wash brush. II peo-
pie turn up their noses at your
claim then and say it is a snide,
and that there is something rotten
in Denmark, you can tell them
that they are clear off and that you
know 1t is all right.n
The last seen of that tenderfoQt
he was buying a double-barrelled
shot gun and ten pounds of rock
salt.
There Is no doubt that a mining
camp Is the place to send young
man who wants to acquire knowl-
edge, and to fill his system full OF
information that will be useful TO
him as long as he lives.-Lara0 mic

he has completed direct line from

COLI Ebenezer Webster was nndoubt-

New Salisbury which is now lcalled

there sent up The smoke Of his pipe and

aotherot his Majesty's subjects. Mr..
Webster combined The occupations OF
farmer and inn-keeper, a combination

general .open-house life that prevailed
in upper and central New Hampshire in

Mr.. Webster took an active part in
