fun at his expense, but we couldn't make
him believe that the rock was worthless.
He went East on the strength of those
pyrites lodges, raised a company, and
came out and built big mill to work the
rock. Would you believe it, the damned
stuff was rich-all the gold in the gulch
came cut of the ledge higher up. The
tenderfoot cleaned up a cool two hundred
thousand in a year, and left the country !;
while us fellers that had been tramping
over the ledge for ten years had to walk
out of the camp and pack our blankets.
Those mines are paying yet"
Wasn't it good management on their
part?
No, can't say that it was, in the be-
ginning. L would call it the biggest kind
of fool luck. If you want to strike it
rich, and can bear to have him around,
I'd advise you to take pilgrim for a
partner-they are lucky and no mistake
the greener the better. Well, so-long
here comes my partner, he is a tender
foot | picked up yesterday just from
Iowa. | guess he's ready to strike out
now"
cold timers" are quite garrulous on
the events of 40 and 80, and to dispute
any of their assertions, although far
stretched and improbable yarns, would
cause fight on the instant. One night /
kept count on one of them that was spin
ming yarns, and from the number of
places he had been, and-the time lie had
spent in each place, he was one hundred
and ninety-four years old l confronted
him with the figures with the remark
"You look quite young for a man of that
age" "Well," says he, ''to tell you the
truth was younger then and
LIVED FASTER THAN DO NOW.
Awful hardships I've had in the
mountains, boys he would say. "There
was for nine long years in Nevada that /
never went inside of house, and made
up my bed every night with pick-pass
over that bottle, Dick, talkin' is rather
dry work"
The name OF ''Injins" provokes the
"old timer" into swearing in the choicest
English, and when he is ''red hot" on the
subject Spanish oaths and invectives
mingle with the mother lingo with sur
prising fluency-hence the origin of the
phrase che swears by note" Put a
chilled shirt" a "stand-up collar" and a
suit of ''store clothes" on an cold timer, -
compelling him to wear them one day,
and I'll warrant that he will cut his
throat before night if he isn't watched.
Anyone failing to recognize the ''old
timer" of whom / speak in this sketch
cad better take take the advice OF
'Uncle" Horace-"go west, young man,
and grow up with the country!''

SATURDAY NIGHT,
A Grand Democratic Meeting VIII be
Held
In Front Of the Democrat" Ofiice
Second South Street,
At Which the Following Gentlemen
Will Speak:

COL. S. A. MERRITT,
HON. THOS. MARSHALL,
HON. r. n. BASKIN,
HON. A. G. CAMPBELL,
MR.. JOS. J.. RAWLINS,
MIR. p. L. WILLIAMS,
And others.
All are cordially invited. On Monday
the election takes place, and we cordially
invite all to look at the Democratic ticket,
and more, to vote it. It has been charged
that the Democratic party dees not want
the votes of any who are not Democrats.
Such is not the case. The Democratic
party wishes the votes of all citizens with
out regard to former political utilization,
but it also wants Democratic principles. 1t
has been charged that there is division
in the party; no such division exists. 1t
has been said that only few have been
.. interested in the campaign; such is not
the case, but on the contrary, all Demo
Gratis have been and still are interested in
the campaign. Many Democrats have
been unable to participate in the cam
paign as speakers, because of a press
OF other business, but the list of
speakers for Saturday night shows who
are interested, and that all Democrats
will do their duty at the polls on Monday
next. Let all come and hear the speak
ers on Saturday night, and let all vote
the Democratic ticket on Monday,

effect that one of Houston's bullion trains, in
