A TRAMP MADE HAPPY.
He Finds Food and q Long Lost
Relative I'm Eureka.

heIntlte In EUREKA.
The meetings that take place in this far
western country Of ours are sometimes
singular and romantic. Not only do peo-
pie from the same neighborhood in the
East come together accidentally and talk
with interest Of old familiar scenes and
mutual friends, but long separated rela-
tons are every now and then brought to-
gether and made known TO each other by
mere chance. A case Of this kind hap
pened in Eureka yesterday. 1t is not al
together the proper thing, nor is it neces-
sary to give the names Of the parties. 1t
was between 5 and 6 o'clock in the even
ing. The lady of the house heard q timid
knock at the back door. She answered the
call, and upon opening the door was con-
fronted by an old man. He had q dilapi-
dated appearance his clothes we're sadly
worn and though his sufferings we're evident
he begged for something to eatin anything
but an easy manner. The lady admitted
him into the house and spread the kitchen
table near the stove with a few dishes OF
plain food for his nourishment. The old
man, who is nearly 10 years old, ate with
the relish that only comes from protracted
hunger. While eating he looked again and
again fxedly at the lady who sat in the
kitchen and engaged him in o casual con-
versation, which gradually turned upon
himself and his wanderings. He inter-
rupted her once in the midst Of q remark !:
T" Haven't l seen you somewhere before ?
/ am sure l have" She asked him where
he thought 1t possible they ever could have

then looking at her again very closely, he
asked her if she had ever lived in Pennsyl-
vania. She answered yes. He then in
quired if she had over lived at Beaver Falls

she replied. els not your left forearm

it was, and rolling up her sleeve, becoming
interested and excited, and showed him
her arm badly scorched. Tears came then
into the old mans eyes, and he said, half
sobbing; Mary, you don't know me, do
you" The lady arose from her chair and
moving towards him as If impelled by the
force Of a charm, exclaimed: "Do tell me
your anne p He got up and came to
meet her. MARY Eliza, don't you know
your brother John 2" He vent down into
his pockets and brought out q photograph
Of his sister that was taken when he left
his home in Pennsylvania for the West.
He left Beaver Falls in 1856 for Texas.
After remaining there for a few years he
vent TO Mexico; thence he came TO Cali
fornia. There he led an unsteady life,
writing home at first but seldom, and, at
last, IL years ago, giving up writing alto
gether. His family believed him dead.
He was sick for a long time in California,
and has been moving about like q solitary
gypsy ever since his partial recovery, do
ing little chores occasionally, but depend
ing rather upon charity for q subsistence.

in Eureka several years. She is able to as
sist her brother, who wants to quit roam
ing now, and is willing to make himself
useful about the house.

Losses Attributable to Mistakes,
Not to the Nature Of the Indus
New York Mining Age.

New York Mining Age.
Some persons arguing from the stand
point of the great amount of money which
individuals may have sunk in gold and sill
yer mining ventures, contend that mining
does not pay. We differently spprehend
the situation. Much Of the money so
sunk has been lost by those who formerly
owned il by reason of their own mistakes,
some Of them wilful, others of ignorance.
OF the former many of the losses need
never have occurred had they exercised the
same care and calculation which in other
departments they would have put forth.
The latter have rightly come out =" at the
wrong end Of the horn" 1t was with
them q case of diamond cut diamond"
and they got cut. But looking at the
question in the general sense, the money
which has been "sunk " in mining proper
has obtained a circulation and produced
absolute benefits.
H-gold being our standard Of values
every dollar got out Of the earth cost one
dollar to produce, the world Is one dollar
better off than it was before, and all the
time the dollar expended has been 0
lively one as distinguished from the dollar
which, with so many Of its companions,
lies 30 long in the bank vaults unem-
ployed and Of no service to anyone.
Without the dollar which, through the in
strumentality of the mining man, has
been passed around, the dollar produced
could not have been q factor in the wealth
of the nation, and the dollar which pro-
duced 1t would have been an improbable
one.
Supposing that every dollar produced
cost two dollars. there has been q definite
gain Of fifty per cent. Something has
been produced out OF what was practically
nothing. and the production IL one which
will not wear out or be consumed like
wooden OF Gotten fabrics. or even like iron
or coal. It Is almost indestructible and
can always and under all circumstances
be made available. It Ia for all time good,
at all times, and hence has TO be regarded
differently from anything else. Twenty
five per cent in our times Ia an enormous
profit in ordinary business, but II one dol
lar in gold should ever cost four dollars
there will be found to have been Q profit
Of twenty-five per cent on the outlay.

some Interesting Facts About the

Some Interesting Facts About the
Mines I'm that Region.
Following is what the Omaha Bee re-
porter got out Of q. 8. Marshal Chase in
arecent interview:
"Of course" said he, upon being asked
how business was in Idaho, and especially
in the Wood River country, everything
at present is dull in that region. When
Winter approaches nearly all work in the
mines shuts down, and consequently there
is but little life in the camps. But that
country is opening up wonderfully, and 1t
gives the greatest promises for the future.
During the year 1881 over 1880 locations
have been staked, which make the total
number Of locations about $500. Many
OF these locations have been sold almost as
soon as made. Last week three mines
we're sold by the prospectors for the aggre-
gate sum of $3.50, 900, that being the price
obtained by the prospectors, n not in
Guiding what the middle men must have
made"
''This seems a great deal Of money to pay
for mines that have simply been opened,
but in each case the purchases were made
" - sASo AZ thO Ia
they were about, and don't make foolish
bargains. One thing can be said also for
the Wood River mines, which cannot be
spoken Of for any other mining country in
the world, and that is that no mine has
been worked TO the expense Of $1,000 that
has not paid. There are already over $50
paying mines. and p%rospectors have almost
a certainty Of success when they commence
a hole"
"The reason is that the district en-
braced within what il known properly %
the Wood River country, 10 a. full Of min
eral as it is possible to be. The class Of
ore is galena and copper basis, next to the
lava formation. As You go further up ii
becomes galena and quartz lodges, while
in the Sawtooth country the quartz lodges
abound and are very rich. There are now
two smelters there with two more going
up"
He tells the reporter that when the rail-
way is completed the Wood River country
will ship from $1,000, 900 to S., 200, 900 in
bullion annually TO the Omaha smelling
works, If the owners will buy it.
