Ny First Cigar.

twas just behind the woodshed,
One glorious summer day,
Far DER the hills the sinking sun
Pursued its westward way.
And in my lone seclusion,
Safely removed afar,
From all of earth's confusion,
smoked my first cigar.
All, bright the boyish fancies
Wrappedfn the wreaths of blue;
Myeyes grew dim, my head was light;
The Woodshed round me flew.
Dark night closed in around me,
Rayless without star,
Grim death I thought had found nae.
And spoiled my first cigar.
heard my fathers smothered laugh,
1t seemed so strange and far;
I knew he knew. knew he knew,
I'd smoked my first cigar.

Miss Lii and Harry slipped away,
Toward shady lane;
She was maiden fair to see,
He, trOth, a noble swain.
They'd met full many time before
Within this shady dell,
And there for every kiss he gave
She paid him back full well
So the base betrayer tn1ay he die).
Must needs the cat let out,
The irate parent to the maid,
Cried, "What are you abeut?"
The blushing culprit, looking down,
Made answer with stAhem,-
Whate'er you'd have men do to you,
Do even 50 to them.'

keep Brigham Young concealed for al

him when most needed to revive the
faith Of believers by his alleged resur-

be taken as matter Of fact there Is no
doubt, and the superstitious people

how the Josephite must have enjoyed

Special Correspondence at the Butte MINER.
Editor Miner:
Being q subscriber for the MINER, you
must excuse me for the liberty take in
addressing you upon very important
subject-one that il enlisting the atten-
ton Of every man in Montana, that is
silver mining. have been very much
interested in the articles on the silver
question which have appeared in the
MINER, especially. the one which an-
peared in the SEMI-WEEKLY OF the
I'D ult., and the extracts from the New
York Mniny Record and tho ..Niniay
Reric~, which you published with co,n-
ments thereon. and take it for granted
you would like to hear the views Of III
old silver miner upon the silver qucs-
ton and how it affects ns all.
Mining to-day is one o: the great in
dustrics in the United States. After its
many ups and downs it has proved to
be as Legitimate business rs raising
stock, farming, or amy other business
pursued in the country. Silver mining
Is now themes prominent industry, and
considering the immense amount Of
capital invested in it, the most profit
able to the Western States and Terri
tories, so far as settling and building
them up is concerned. Where silver
mining is followed there YOU will find
millions OF dollars Of taxable property
which did not exist before the industry
was prosecuted. 1t il proven by the rx-
pericncr Of the past that no other bust
ness can employ such Il vast number ot
people y: all trade. and professions. 1t
furnishes employment for iahorcr, and
mechanics Of every kind and builds IN
country .:.s,cr tiiam amy other business.

This shows th:t the bullion product of
this country for the year named was
nearly "ne-half Of that of the entire

interesting to note that ut the present

about seventy-iive years for the mine.
of the world to double the amount of

the mines Of the United States alone

Waning Fortunes.


A Carsonite who came up from San
Francisco few day ago, spending the
greater part of his time in the vicinity
of Pauper Alley, stated to the Appeal
reporter that there are scarcely ten of
the countless brokers who made enor-
nous fortunes during the Crown Point
and Belcher and subsequent bonanza
rises who now have as much as $4,000
lying to their credit with their bankers
Many and many of the broken brokers
would, during the palmy days ranging
from 1871 to 1877, clear from $1,000
to So 600 per day In commissions; but
they were not satisfied with such paltry
revenues; they had to buy stock on
their personal accounts, and in very
short time Independent fortunes, vary
ing from 100000 to S2,000,000, dwin-
died to comparative insignifcance.
Many of these men, who built palatial
residences on Van Ness avenue and
other aristocratic quarters of San Fran
cisco, with equipages and all else in
harmony, are now rusticating with
their families in cheap boarding.
houses in Oakland and that vicinity.
The AppedrS informant speaks of one
broker, who shall be nameless, per-
sonal friend of his, who in 1877 had a
fortune of 81 100000 in cash real es-
tate and bonds. The broker sent his
family. to. Europe in 1873, where they
remained until the latter lpartIof 1878,
Keeping up an establishments in Paris at
a cost of $50, 900 per annum, and his
personaiTexpenses in San Francisco
could not have been less than $4,000
a year. He went into Sierra Nevada
and Union at the top notch figures, ex-
pecting an appreciation in values as in
the case of the Consolidated Virginia
and California mines. The stock drop
ped, and he began to "average," until
the stocks reached 800 per share; by
that time his money and credit had both
been exhausted. He is now clerking in
banking house on California street at
salary of $3.50 per month. Other
