4 FUNNY STORY BY VANCE.

heard Zeb Vance telling how he
captured.the vote of backwoods settle
ment in North Carolina when he first
ran for Congress. He said he had never
benin that settlement and didn't know
the boys. He rode over the mountains
and found about sixty soveroigns at
cr"ss-road grocery and he got down
and hitched his horse and began to
make their acquaintance and crack his
jokes around, and thought he was get
ting along pretty well with them, but
he noticed an old man with shaggy
eyebrows and big brass spectacles, sit
ting on chunk marking in the sand
with stick. The old man didn't seem
to pay any attention to Vance, and
after Il while Vance concluded that the
old man was bell-wether of the flock
and that it was necessary to capture
him, so he sidled up close to him
and the old man got up and shook
himself and leaned forward on his
stick and said solmnly: This is Mr..
Vance, l believer" Yes, sir" said
Vance, "Aud you have come over
here to see my boys about their votes,
believe 7" Eyes, sir" SAID Vance,
"that is my business"
"Well, SIR" said the old man, Galore
you pl oceed with that business l would
like to AK you a few questions
Certainly, certainly" said Vance.
''What church mout you belong to 2"
said the old man.
That was a sockdologer-Vance
didn't belong to any church. He
knew that religion and meeting was a
big thing in the backwoods and con-
trolled their politics, but he didn't
know what their religion was, for
North Carolina was powerfully spotted.
But he squared himself for the re-
sponsibility and says he: "Well, now,
my friend, I will tell you about that,
for it is fair question. Of course it
is. Well, you see, my grandfather
came from Scotland, and you know
that over in Scotlond everybody is
Presbyterian Here ne paused to
note the effect, but saw no sign of
sympathy with his grandpa.
''But my grandmother came from
England and over there everybody be-
longs to the Episcopal Church" He

The Ray Copper Mines.

The Arizona Enterprise has the fol-
lowing sound advice about the fash
theories of half Aedged miners who
think they know all the secrets of ma.
ture, and are, after all, the veriest igno-
ramuses in the world; "The Ray Cop
per Companys mines and works have
been closed down for the present and
the men discharged. 1t will probably
be several months before work will be
resumed there. The cause of the "close
down" was the failure of the concen-
trating mill to perform the work expect.
ed of it. 1t was guaranteed by the
manufacturers to concentrate seventy
tons per day. and at the end of ten
days trial it proved incapable OF con-
centrating more than twenty-five tons
per day. The ore being low grade, the
mill must handle seventy tons per day
in order to pay a good profit, and tie
company are determined to have mill
OF that capacity, hence they are making
arrangements for new machinery of the
style recommended by Mr.. Boucher be-
fore the present mill was ordered. The
company's mines are all right and never
looked better. They have immense ore
reserves in sight and there will be no
question about the success of the enter
prise when the proper machinery for the
treatment of the ore is obtained. The
present mill was new experiment and
should not have been tried at all.
When mining companies learn to accept
old and approved machinery for tue
treatment OF ores, there will be fewer
failures. At least 20 per cent of the
mining failures in Arizona may be justly
charged to the disposition of Eastern
companies to try new styles of reduc-
ton machinery. 1t is time to call halt
in this kind of business folly"

Silver Mine Traditions.

A correspondent Of the Calico Print
has the following tradition concerning
Calico: The time will come when any.
thing pertaining to the past history Of
mines upon the desert, or more properly
speaking, on the frontiers Of California
and Nevada, will be read with interest.
Then, If the historian follows his text
closely, will be found portion given to
the above subject.
1t is the writer's object to now place
on record the various stories that he has
heard during the past twenty five years
regarding the various mines CT lodges
that have been frequently hunted for and
OF which there seems to be no certainty
that they will ever be found. No doubt
there are many old stories ahoat that the.
writer has never heard repeated, but such
as he has he will place before the reader
and will here also say to the future his
torians that he can vouch for bnt little
conveyed therein, as it nearly all comes
from hearsay, hence the caption to this
article.
The first story Of this nature we remem-
Der hearing was given us by an old Mex
lean at Los Angeles in 1861. He said that
when he was quite young and then living
with the Fathers at the Mission San
Fernando, situated q short distance
to the northward from Los An.
geles, Mexican would start out
in the spring with two mules load
cd with provisions sufficient Tor all sum-
mer's supply; that he would take no
companions with him, and Travelled
northward towards Elizabeth Lake, and
returned in the fall after an absence of
about six months, with his mules laden
with silver bullion. This he did for
three seasons, but on the fourth he went
out as usual Iut never returned.
The time when this occurred, il occur
it did, must have been as far back as
1910, or previous. This old story has
required to the writer quite forcibly
since the discovery of the Calico mines
with their rich horn silver groupings as
well as a cave or tunnel-like excavation
that has since been found on one of the
mines. 1t is possible that this old.t time
explorer of the desert, wandering north.
ward from San Fernando came through
the natural pass Of the mountains at
Elizabeth Lake. thence travelling east
ward along the base of the Sierra Madres
at last came to the Mojave river, and
following down the stream, ended his
explorations by searching the Calico
hills for mineral, and finding the metal
in an almost pure state, it would require
but little skill to reduce it to bullion
with any sort of rude furnace.
So much for that old my til or tradi.
tion. OF the others to follow, they are
all American and of far more recent
date.
