How It Is Done.

It is we'll known that tbs Cable
mine, nea Georgetown, has pro-
duced some of the firest, ii not the
very finest, gold quartz specimens
ever found in the West. The mine
has been prolific of them, and hum
dreds have been purchased
by curiosity seekers for cabinets or
as presents to Eastern friends. But
it appears now these very fine speci-
mems are made to playa very impor-
tant part In creating and fostering
the stamped to the C9ur d'Alenes.
A gent eman now in Butte just up
from Eagle City saw while there Ca
BILE quartz specimens ''played OFF, on
the uninitiated tenderfeet as the out
put of Ceur d'Alene quartz mines He
formerly worked in the Gable and the
striking resemblance of the speci-
meus exhibited to him as coming
from the lodges around Eagle City to
those he used to see in the Cable,
excited his s%upicions. They
looked familiar, and upon
close examination he was con.
WINGED they came from the latter
mine. He irally boldly charged the
possessor with his deceit which was
at length confessed. They We're
Cable specimens doing duty as "stool
pigeons't rope in the unwary in
investments in worthless quartz
lodes around Eagle City. This is only
one instance, but the part that the
mines in California and the Black
Hills have taken in fomenting and
keeping up this unwarranted stam-
pede, the poor dupes will learn only
when it is too late to save themselves
from financial ruin.

an active and energetic business man.
and had been engaged in various
business ventures here, nearly all Of
