An Old joke.

The following story, in which sew
eral well-known East Portlanders
played a prominent part, has never
appeared in print, although it has
been we'll known to some of the boys
around town for some time. About
three years ago DR.. Dave Rafferty,,
returning from visit to San Fran
cisco, brought as curiosity a rich
sample of quartz from the famous
Comstock lode. A livery man named
Ross, well known as practical joker,
secured the .pecimen and one day
carelessly exhibited it before few of
the boys in Matlock, Kirk & Co.'S Of
flee, stating that he had found it down
the Columbia river.
"Any more of it down there?" was
asked in an anxious tone.
"Tons of it," responded Ross. 'Do
you think it of any valued"
"Sahn said the boys In chorus;
don't tell anybody about it. Why
don't you open the miner"
"Got no money!" said Ross.
"Never mind the money. Ifyou'll
agree to let us four in, we'll put up
the cash"
1t was then arranged that Ross
should go down to the alleged gold
mine and stake off FIVE claims in the
richest part; partnership papers were
duly drawn up by t. J. Matlock in
which Henry Meyer, Charles Blakely
H. H. Kessling, L. J. Matlock and
Ross were set forth as equal sharers
in the supposed Ell Dorado. The boys
clipped in $50 apiece TO pay Ross
expenses down the river, and beauti-
full dreams of coming wealth dawned
upon the quartette.
In few days the joke cropped out
and silence settled upon the partners
so still, just so still as mouse. Ii i.
not known whether Ross refunded tn,
money or not. Being pretty sly" i
is probable that he didn't.
