How Artemus Ward Once Lee
tured.

There are yet living in Pottsyille, Pa,
several gentleman who never hear the
name of Artemus Ward without a
smiling recollection of a pleasant night
spent with that droll genius. In the
winter of one of the earlier years of
the war Artemus Ward was advertised
to deliver his famous lecture on the
Mormons in the town hall at Pottsville.
Much curiosity was excited by the an
nouneement of his coming, and there
was every reason to expect that the
hall would be crowded on the evening
of the lecture. But one of the fiercest
snow storms that ever visited the town
ragged without intermission all day, and
the night was wildly stormy when the
lecturer was driven to the hall.
He found waiting for him only five
men who deied the storm. Advancing
to the stage and beckoning with the
finger as to single individual, Arte-
mus said, in an ordinary conversational
tone: Come up closer" Not knowing
precisely what to do, the audience of
live compromised with their embarrass-
ment by doing nothing. Artemus
changed his tone to that used by one
who wishes to coax, and said: "Please
come up closer, and be sociable; / want
to speak to you about little matter /
have thought Of"
Having succeeded in getting his audi
ence to move up near to the stage, the
humorist said: IL move that we do not
have any meeting here this evening,
and / propose instead that we adjourn
to the restaurant beneath and have q
good time" ar..
He then put the motion, voted on 1t
himself, declared it carried, and, to give
no opportunity for an appeal from the
chair, at once led the way to the restau-
rant. There he introduced himself to
his intended auditors and spent several
hours in their company, richly compens
sating them for their disappointment
in the matter of the lecture by the wit
and humOr of the stories and anecdotes
without number which he told. And
this IS how Artemus Ward lectured in

Kingston and the Range.

And yet no end of the new and as
tonishing discoveries about Kingston
in the ore belts; where they are it
would be difficult to describe accurate
ly, and it would be more difficult to
tell where they are not. 1t seems that
the rule has been varied from in this
locality, for gold and silver are where
you look for it.
On the North Percha the Solitaire is
not yet sold, unless the transfer has
been made since the lst. We speak
with authority. The Studebakers had
not bought it. A sample of ore sen.
from the North Texan assayed Sl64 at
Lake Valley. Work is being pushed
on the Brilliant with encouraging re-
suits. The Nevada, OH the opposite side
of the valley, is also being worked by
Albuquerque parties. Another new
and important strike is reported on
Carbonate creek. half mile above
Percha City. In the Superior the shaft
for the purpose of extracting ore with
the greatest facility is being sunk, and
the only interesting feature is that al
ready mentioned of the large body of
high grade ore in sight, which will soon
be attacked. Work is being pushed on
the Little Jimmy, the Dexter, Hilty
and John S. Phelps. The shaft in the
Hilty is in lime and tale, with good in
dications. Hartman & Maxwell are
sinking on an adjoining property. In
the Phelps VEN was cut in the tunnel
and a contract has been let to sink up
on it.
The net returns from the last car
load of ore shipped from the Bullion
mine to Denver amounted to $6,l10 for
a little more than ten tons. 1t was suf-
icient to pay all the working expenses
of the mine for the last three months
and leave a balance of $4,000 in the
treasury.
The group of mines on the South Per-
cha known by the Traitor and Monaska,
is certainly very valuable. In the latter
property is three feet of ore with ten
inches of very rich pay. 1t appears to
be positively a true fssure cutting
through the lime and porphyry. Ten
or twelve sacks of rich ore are being
taken out daily. and the sinking of the
prospect shaft will, 1t is estimated, pay
"a profit. This camp is second to none,
we believe. Kingston is solid. A few
malcontents who would not be satisfied
with solid gold quarry fold their tents
and steal away occasionally, but reli-
able. hard-working men are on the
ground who know thing or two. The
reaction which comes to every camp
with the ebb of a great tide of human
ity has been felt in Kingston, but it
has left the beach clean. We may look
for steady growth of the camp.-Had-
ley's Pointers.

Stories OF Brute Intelligence

carry lishing-rod, carefully expert
mented along its length, to find its CEN

to narrow path through the wood
There dropping the rod he took 1t by
the end and dragged it under him
lengthwise until the open road was
gained, when he took the rod by the
center of gravity again, and went on.
This could not be a copy Of human ac-

his garden and having large bunch of
keys in his hand. he gave it to retriev-
er to hold for him till he was at lib
erty. Going into the house soon alter
he forgot to reclaim the keys. The re-
membrance of what he had done with
them only returned to him when he re.
quired them in the evening. He then
recalled that he had given them to the
dog and forgotten to take them again
Calling the animal, and looking impres
sively in his face, he said: My keys
fetch me my keysr The dog looked
wistful and puzzled for a moment and
then bounded off to the garden. his
master following. He went straight to
the root of an apple tree, scratched up
the keys and brought them. May we
not fairly put into words the dogs train

me these keys to hold; he has forgotten
them; cannot carry them all day; buI
