It is the season OF the year for new

ported and if one turns round to listen
to everyone he hears OF on the street,
he will make very little progress. The
most OF the reports prove false. or may
be founded Oh good authority, bu,
eventually fall through. 1t is true
YOU may follow ninety-nine excite
nents which may prove failures and
the one hundrcth may be the one to
90 to. OF course this is something
nobody knows anything about.
Just at this time the populace IS in
4 terrible sweat over the supposed
gold fines on the Muddy creek, some
distance down on the reservation,
which we sincerely hope viii turn out
all right, because great many Of our
prospectors are making tracks tor the
place, and we should dislike to see
them come back disappointed. AS
yet it is profound secret, still every
body seems to have heard of it, but
nobody knows the particulars or
whcthe; it Is placer or quartz. Ali
that anybody seems to know is that q
party were seen to psck their jacks
very quietly at night and depart,
while others followed, therefore, we
can give no particulars as to the ayow-
ed secret until they are impaired to US
first.

roads get in a passable condition to
do hau!ing, that Mr. Webb will start
up the Pioneer Stamp mill, having
had the assurance that he can get ore
from several of the mines. The pros
poets for this season look much better
than they did last year, and we have
no doubt, Al least We hope SO, that the
results of this summers work vii! be
much more satisfactory than last.
Work is being pushed II the lower
workings Of the Forest Queen, by
drifts both north and south from the
breast of the cross-cut. In the north
drift they are working in very rich
streak lately discovered next to the
hanging wall. We understand that
in very short time this mine will
furnish several hundred tons Of ore to
the Pioneer stamp mill.
Mr.. Ropell, we understand, will in
crease the force on the Bullion King
and make things lively this spring.
He expects plant Of machinery as
soon as the roads get good. when the
mine will be more effectually and ad-
vantageously worked.
The parties who started in to pros
pect for the Tioga vein, on the claim
known as the Southwark, are still at
work. having got into the veir some
time ago, but they propose now to
make mine out of 1t. The shaft is
about torty-tive feet deep and is in
solid, we'll defined quartz.
Work is progressing on the Ruby
King mine daily.
Work may be resumed on the Ruby
Chief now most any time.
The owners Of the Alaska are push
ing work on that property with great
rapidity.
Mr.. Estes will probably start up the
Lee Taylor mine in a very short
time.
Mr.. Sturgeon will soon commence
work on the Ensle lode.
The Tloga vein has been opened
from the surface by Mr.. Copley. This
shaft was put down to make the title
more perfect, as the vein can be work

General Buffers Admission % the Bar.
Boston Traveller.I

In d. A. Sullivan's biographical sketch OF
Judge Charles Cowley, of Lowell. recently
printed, we find The following sneciote,
showing how we'll General Butler had pre-
pared himself for his profession before he
applied for admission to the Bar:
When b. +. Butler and Isaac S. Morse
were admitted TO the Bar. at the September
term OF the Court OF Common Pleas, in
1910, Judge Warren examined them at his
room at the Washington House in Lowell.
One of the points on which he examined
Mr. Butler was Il railing which he had made
on that day in the case of Robert Reed vs..
Jenness Batchelder. tried before him bv
Greenville Parker for the plaintiff and
John A Knowles for the defendant.
1t was an action on a promissory note
and the point finally decided was that "a
negotiable note made by an infant is avoid
able aud not void: and il he, after coming
Of age, promise the payee that it shall be
paid. the payee may negotiate it, and
he holder may maintain an action
in his own name against the maker"
Judge Narren's ruling excluded the evi-
iencs Of Henry Reed, one of the promises,
tending TO show that the defendant after
coming of age, had made new promise to
Day lie note. Mr.. Butler replied de
erentially, that ne thought this ruling
wrong. The Judge, astonished at Thu
suggestion, inquired whether Butler
could show any authority for this dissenting
opinion. Mr.. Butler ci;ed.authorities. which
the Judge consulted, and satisfied himself
tlat lhe ruling was wrong. The next morn
ing the Judge reversed that ruling, and the
supreme Court upon exceptions. sustained
him therein.

In view of the numerous reports by lead
ing papers, of the unprecedented popular
interest in certain coil" question, it be-
comes pleasure for the "Western Sum
one of the oldest journals beyond the Allie
ghenies--to shed its light upon some facts IN
connection Herewith, illustrative of the
great "boomn in the article. From every
point comes abundant testimony that the
nalf has never been told. Mr. Charles Zim-
norman, connected with the Court House
Drug Store of f. NJ. Kelium &c Co, stated to
the writer Of the Sun that ST. Jacobs Oil had
cured shis mother of severe attack of
rheumatism. Mr. Herman ]. Watijen, Odd
Fellows Block, corner Second street and
Broadway, remarked: The st. Jacobs Oh is
selling better with me than any other lini-
ment, and gives entire satisfaction, having
effected very many cures. For instance
there is prominent farmer living near here
who was cured by the use of st. Jacobs Oil.
Dir. w. A. Vending successor to Nj. J. NJ.
Dnesterberg, observed 1t gives perfect
satisfaction, and | will recommend II to
everybody. Every one who has used it pre-
fers it TO anything else. Such reports are
being constantly brought by the leading
newspapers of the country. Only a few days
SINCE the Louisville (Ky.) Commercial re-
ferred TO the case of Captain Charles n.
COrTi, Of that city, widely known through
out the river regions of the West as one of
the oldest steamboat men of the United
Stiles. This gentleman, from the exposure
incident TO his profession, contracted
severe case of rheumatism, with which he
suffered for many years, and spent great
deal Of money without relief. until this
Great German Remedy again made him
happy by his complete restoration to health.
1t becomes q pleasure for newspaper to
thus refer 10 a really meritorious article.

fits its own readers by so doing, but man
