Sailing Mines.

There are sbarpers In tho mountain
mining camps. There are many tricks
these men play. The most successful
one is sailing" the ground for tender
feet prospectors. One OF these lazy,
idle creatures will walk from dump to
dump, from shafihouse to shafthousc,
from tunnel 10 tunnel picking up rich
ore. When he has enough, he scatters
the rock on distant hillsides. He
"salts, not the mine but the ground.
He does not claim to have found n lead,
but he does claim 10 have found the
iioat or outcroppings of lead. He
persuades strangers TO advance a few
hundred dollars TO pay for prospecting
the lead. He viii give half the lead
for $500 or $500, the money to
be expended in searching for the
vein. He will work himself
for nothing. but he must have another
man. 10 help him. The stranger is taken
to the distant hillside and shown the
ore. A small piece Of il is pulverized
In mortar and panncd. There are
plenty Of colors in II. The tender
foot Is eager to invest. He pays the
$500 or $500, aud returns to his Eastern
home. There is q pretcnse Of doing
work. but two-thirds Of the money paid
remains in the pocket Of the sharper.
The swindler plays this game four or
five times during the year. He has
made enough 10 live comfortably. The
next year there is assessment work TO
be done, and the partners Of this dishon-
est man, who are in the East, pay their
share. The swindlcr spends the money
for food and clothing.
A man can buy land, houses, ships
and even horses from his friends In safe.
~. But mine no man can sell, and
In selling tell the truth about Il. The
fact that In the Rocky Mountains,
where all men mine more or less. valu-
able mines arc not allowed TO pass into
the hands OF outsiders is overlooked by
Eastern investors. A really valuable
mine can be sold In an hour in any
Western town such as Denver, Salt
Lake, Lcadville. San Francisco or Pueb.
10, In all of these towns are wealthy
men who understand the business o.
mining, and who are on the watch fol
| good mineral property. They pay cash
and pay roundly, too, for mines thai
suit them. II these men do not buy the
Double Eagle or Gold Hill. ii Is because
they know II to be worthless. They
are willing to assist the mining experts
to shear Eastern or English lambs, bul

Anecdotes OF Abraham Lincoln.

Mrs. Alice ID. Shipman's Rcminis-
cenccs Of Illinois Pioneers, published
In the chronological Journal, state Of
Colonel w. II. Davidson, that though
be supported Douglas in the contest Of
1860, nevertheless Lincoln, after his
Inauguration, wrote TO Colonel David
son offering him any Office that he might
think III TO name, proposing, himself,
the Secretaryship Of the Treasury"
The origin Of Lincoln's intimacy with
Joshua T. Speed Is thus related: "Mr
Sreed began his business life as mers
chant in Springfield, ILL.,. where he was
settled when Mr.. Lincoln came there TO
open law Office. One day as he was
sitting In his store In an interval Of
leisure, Mr.. Lincoln, whose ingrained
awkwardness was then aggravated by
youth, came up TO the counter. and ao-
costcd him with visible embarrassment.
| want 10 know, Speed, he said, .the
cost OF a bedstead and bed adding a
rough description which indicated the
cheapest kind Of both. What you
want, answered Mr.. Speed, will cost
YOU about Sl7.' At this Lineoln's jaw
dropped and painful expression Of
sadness and perplcxity spread over his
countenance. Mr.. Speed, noticing the
look, and rightly interpreting 1t to sig
nifty that tho price exceeded Lincoln's
means, quickly added: Mr.. Lincoln,
have proposition to make you. My
partner has just married, and his bed in
my room upstairs is vacant. il you
are willing to occupy 1t, and share my
room with me, you are more than vel.
come The painful expression instant
ly vanished from Lincoln's face as,
with few simple words of thanks, he
accepted the offer, and disappeared. In
short time he reappeared, with a pain
of old-fashioned saddle-bags on his arm
and, directed by his new friend
shambled upstairs TO the designated
room. A minute had scarcely passed
before he shambled down again, and az
he reached the shop room cried out, his
face beaming with jocund content
We'll, Speed, FUe mored.' Hencefor
