A New Pay Streak.
| On Tuesday last, Finney and johnson
two Emigrant Gulch placer miners, wer
in Livingston and sold $1,000 worth o
gold dust. The story Of how and wher'
this dust was obtained is interesting from
the fact that it seems to indicate an i'm
portant revival in placer mining IN the
Gulch, from furnishing clue to the
locality of rich diggings hitherto un-
worked.
Up to two or three years ago very rich
clean-ups were no uncommon occurrence
in the Emigrant Gulch placers, but since
about that time, though good wages have
been made wherever work was carried on,
nothing that approached the pay of earlier
times has been struck. In fact the pay
streak had been lost, and diligent investi-
cation failed to reveal it.
Last autumn Finney and johnson
rented portion of John c. Clifford's
ground in the Upper district. Upon this
they commenced work and, curiously
enough to the unintiated, ran their drift
toward and into the face of mountain
whose sloping side formed part of the
ground. But from the beginning Of their
work they found good pay and it i'm
proved as they went farther in, until
at the distance of one hundred
feet into the sloping hill they
have reached what is undoubtedly the true
pay y-streak of the district. It is at least
sufficiently rich to clean up 81 per pan in
coarse gold, and this in what to the
observer would appear to he
far into the side of a mountain. AS a
matter of fact, ages ago the volume of
water that rushed through the mountain
gorge now called Emigrant Gulch, carry
ing with it the auriferous sediment that
makes the present placers, had been
bounded by high cliff. or rim-rock,
which is now the heart of this sloping
hill. AS the water subsided to lower
level, this cliff was left high and dry with

Of the elements, caused the disintregation
If the wall of rock and it gradually fell
down until it formed sloping surface of
gravel that looks as if it had never been
ouched by water other than the rains
rom heaven. But the sagscity of the
miners has wrenched the secret from that
wall and forced it to yield up
he treasure buried at it's base.
This will undoubtedly give placer min
ng in the Gulch fresh impetus, ss it
furnishes the 'sopen sesame" to good pay
n a new locality. Finney and johnson
re making big money, and Clifford, the
wner of the ground who receives GER
ain proportion of the gross income, is

Indians. Near by he found the lode from
which their gold had been taken, and 1t
was very rich. These to- whom he told
the story were very anxious to go to the
place, and four of them organized an
outfit and went up. 1t was late in the
fall, and the snow commenced to fly before
the locality was reached. The snowfall
changed the appearance of the country
and the cabin could not he found. The
party were soon driven out by the snow,
and the discoverer of the cabin became
insane during the winter from broodiny
over the lost treasure, and Just before
spring committed suicide by jumping into
the large hot spring at Little Wind river.
Was 1t Swindle?
Our business men will remember that
some weeks ago they were waited upon by
two men, Smith & Howell, representing
an alleged institution called the United
States Collection association. The beau
ties and conveniences of the concern were
expoundcd and membership permitted ON
payment of fee of IS each. About
thirty of our business men put up the
amount and Smith and Howell left here
over $1OO ahead of the town.
Livingston was by no means the only
town worked in the same way. From
Bismarck to the Pacific Coast every i'm
portant town was favored with similar
agencies of the association. Now sus-
picien is spreading that the institution
was but scheme On the part of Smith
and Howell to put money in their purses,
and we regretfully admit our coincidence
with that opinion.
We regret the apparent swindle more
because we contributed in some
measure to the success of the scheme bv
Advertising it in our columns. We recog-
nize the doctrine that fraud should not
be advertised at any price, and act upon
that platform when we are able to detect
the fraud in time. But in this case, as in
others, we were fully deceived, though not
in financial manner. When extracts
from dozen responsible newspapers en-
lorsing the pretended association were laid
before US we could not see our way clear
o believe it swindle. and acted upon the
assumption that it was bona fde in every
way.

The potato, originally South American
plant, was introduced to Virginia by Sir
John Harvey in 1929. though it was un-
known in some counties of England hun
dred and fifty years later. In Pennsyl-
vania, potatoes are mentioned very soon
after the advent Of the Quakers; they
were not among New York products in
1895, but in IT'S we are told of eleven
thousand bushels grown in one sixteen
acre patch in this province. Potatoes
were served. perhaps as an exotic rarity,
at Harvard installation dinner in 17O7;
but the plant was only brought into cul-
ture in New England at the arrival Of the
Presbyterian immigrants from ireland in
1718. Five bushels were accounted =

Rounding Up the Crows.

Early in this month Bear Wolf, lead
ing Grow chief, with band of followers,
left the reservation contrary to orders. It
seems Bear Wolf had given number of
ponies to the Sioux on their recent visit to
the Crow camp, and feeling that he had
not had value received, wanted them re-
turned, and started to visit the Sioux for
that purpose. Lieut.. Fuller with de-
tachmcnt of cavalry started out from Fort
Custer to bring Bear Wolf back. His
camp was reached near the head of Tongue
river and the chief summoned to return.
He refused, saying he was going to see his
brothers, the Sioux. He was then ordered
to return and threatened with force, and
when he broke camp, though still protest
ing, he went with the command.

A War Incident.

The eS-confederate, General Cor
don, told an interesting story about
two interviews he held with. General
Barlow. At Sharpsburg Barlow was.
apparently mortally wounded, and
fell into Gordon's hands. Gordon
took liking to him and asked if he.
could do something for Barlow. s'I
think not general, said the young
man. '' / shall be buried here, no
doubt. 1 do not expect to live. But
you can do one thing for me; here is
a package of letters from my wife
which 1 wish you to destroy before
my eyes. % Gordon, then young
man. took the letters and was about
to destroy them, when Barlow with
bubble at his throat, murmured:
"Would you take the trouble to road,
me one of them first? Any one will
do" Gordon opened one of the let
tiers and read 1t to the dying man
his last friendly words, perhaps
from home. Then the letters were
destroyed But the incident touched
Gordon so that he made special eS-
ertion to have Barlow sent through
the lines, or to have his wife admitted
to him. This being done the two ar
mics fell apart and these men saw
each other no more. Gordon consid-
cred Barlow to be dead. Barlow had
also seen that n General Gordon had
been killed somewhere. They met
again at friendly table at Washing
ton, but did not know each other
through the changes of time. After
some lapse Gordon said: ''General
Barlow, arc yon n relative of that
Barlow that was killed at Antietam2''
"No,'' said the general l am the
same man." ssArc you any relative, /"
inquired Barlow in turn, "of that
General Gordon who was recently
killed on the Confederate sido ?''
s'That was my cousin. 1 am Jno.
B. Gordon.' Then at the request
of the persons who overheard, Bar
low told the tale amid tears and emo-
tion on every side.

Some time ago new man was put
on the Austin police force. AS he
was gawky sort of a customer, one
of the aldermen undertook to make
fun of him inthc presence of a num-
Der of gentlemen.
t'NOw," said the alderman, "wouId
you salute an alderman If you were to
meet him on the street after dark ?"
Certainly certainly; would take
off my hat to him.
"That's right. am glad to see
that you are beginning to understand
your duties. Now, suppose crowd
of men were to pass you after dark,
and you did not know who they
were, what would you do if it was late,
and"
eff they were drunk and raising a
row I'd let them pass. -
Wouldn't you attempt to arrest
the disturbers of the public peaceY'1
"Oh, mol 1 would salute them
very politely, for there would be at
least one alderman among them, GER
tain sure, - responded the new police
man, calmly biting off fresh chew of
tobacco.
The listeners, at whom the smart
alderman had been winking, he ex-
pected them to laugh, did laugh pro-
fusely. They held their sides, but
the smart alderman's voice did not
mingle with the chorus, as he had
somehow or other captured a sus-
picion that he himself was the man
they were smiling at.
