Queer Stories ofLuckv Minsrx

A few of the many stories that are told of miners luck will enable the reader to understand how and why the heads of whole communities, says Har- per's Magazine, may be turned in min- ing regions.
 Jim Whitla'ch, the discoverer of the Whitlatch Union mine: near Helena. Mont. lead typical western miners life Tne mine in question is now owned in England, and has produced s2O,OOO,- GOO n gold. After Jim Whitlatch had sold the property for S1.5O0,O0O. he went to New York to make as much money as Vanderbilt" He as rare treat to Wall street, which fattened on him and in one year let him go with only the clothes on his back. He returned to Montana, began prospecting, again and discoversd mine for which he got S250,- GOO. He went to Chicago to rival Pot ter Palmer in wealth. and returned. just as he did from New YOrk-'flat strap. ped" as he would have expressed it. He met stIll another fortune and went. to San Francisco, where he died a poor man.
 Another Lewis and Clark county mine, The drum Lumon, provides another story. It was discovered by an Irish i'm migrant Although he owned it h. could not get sack of four on cre- dit. He sold 1t to an Eng ish syndicate for sl,500,QOO, But he remains one of the wealthy men of Helena.
 There IS an ex-s ate senator in Beaver Head county Uho owns a very rich mine, the ore yielding s7OO to the ton net, He Is California '95er, who came a rcspector to Montana, and since dis covering his mine has lived upon 1t in particular way, He has no faith in banks. He says his T oney is safest in the ground. When he has SD nt what money he has. he tase' wagon load of ore, ships it to Omaha, sells it, and lives on the returns until h. needs another wagon load.
 There is queer story concerning the SD tied Horse min4, in Fergus county. It was found by r. A. Meadow. who old 1t to GOv. Houses and A. M. Holder for SJUOOUO hree years ago. They paid d larg9 sum down in cash and the other [ aym ms were to come out on the grOur d. 1he ore was in pockets, each of wh ch was easily exh 4usted. What ever W s taken out went to M"Adow, " hO 2 about SlO0,000, When the pur- chasers abandoned it, on the advice of exper s. and McAdow got hold of it, he f und the vein, over which rails had been laid f d mining car. He has taken out S5OO,OU0 and it is still a good mine.
 Ons of these children of luck came to Helena, with mOLey, pick d out wife ; hO was a poor seamsstress, Tired 8 hO,el and invited the town to the we'd ding The amount of champagne that flow cd that night was fabulous, and it IS said that the whole town Ieeled to bed that night

A Relic of the Past.

The people of Chino Valley have had something to interest them lately in the finding of the remains of some large animal, which presumably roamed the hills and valleys many years ago. In speaking of the find the Courier says:
 "J. w. Doughty brou mt in from his ranch m Big Chino Valley yesterday, two large bones, presumably those of a Uastodon. The bones were Tn one piece, but were torn apart when struck by scr per, twelve feet from the sur
 face, at point where MT D. was hay ing a we dug. Some of the enamel IS still on the bones, but most of surface IS porous and holes are eaten out here and there by purely dry rottipg. Wien put together us first found, this solid mass of bone measr red 36 inches in circumference and 1015 Iuches ln dlame- ter, which proves conClusively its pre- historic origin, DO animal living at pre- sent on the earth has any bones of this formation and sizs. It is al pure bone and nothing else. Mr. D will prospect for more remains of this unknown mon- ter. which must have lived when Ari- ZOna was better grazing country than it i5 now as the ranges would not SUD- port any such herds at present. AS an ordinary elephant will eat 750 pounds of hay per day, some idea of the kind of range these animals would require. So far IS we know, these are the first mas t0don remains ever found south of the Rocky Mountains. While the masto- don IS supposed to have been a tropical animal its remains have been found in cold chimes where it was frozen to death on account of climatic revolution in nature or a sudden changing of the eartb's surface from south to north. The bones can be seen st Hotel Burke.

A Mining Sale.

Johnny Moran. of Pinal county, who owns an excellent gold property called the Mammon mine in the southern DOT tion of the county has succeeded in making a sale of the same and the mo- ney has been paid over. There is mo- thing like getting into good mineral country and stayisg with it. Persever ance and courage pitted against the pioneer hardships that characterize all new mining fields eventually triumph and the satisfaction is great to know that you got there with two feet and that you have a wad placed Tn the bank to guard against the scar and yellow leaf of old age.

THE TARIFF ON FARM PRO.
 DUCTS.

E cry free trade writer and orator has;ens 10 assure the farmer that ne possible benefit can result to him from protective tariff. In furthersnce of this free trade dogma. every vote dom- mated by the party committed to tariff reduction was in the lssg congress in- variably recorded in opposition to every proposed increase of duty on farm pro- ducts They were as invariably recorded iu favor of reductio- of such duties whenever occasion was offered.
 But protection does benefit farmers equally with any other class of citizen and fortunately the majority of them realize the fact and turn a deaf ear to the spacious pleas of those who are aboring for change in the national policy. Even if it should be admitted
 hat prices of agricultural products are not permanently enhanced as a result of tarif protection, it would by no means follow that such protection is not bene- ficial-in some instance absolutely nec- essary--to the success of those who cultivate the soil for H living. The farmer needs steady ana accessible market as we'll as fair prices for his pro- ducts. And while these would not be insured without the system of protec- tion extended to those manufactures by which consumers are attracted and en- abled to become liberal purchasers, neither would it be possible without an adequate barrier against cereals and other exportable products in the hands of foreign farmers.
 When wheat or barley or potatoes are dull of sale, it may be that Canadian farmers will be in position to concede more in price than can be afforded by those who grow such crops this side the line. Then it is of prime importance to the citizen farmer to kno that the competitor who would thus cut him out of a market must first equalize their respective conditions by some contrib utiop to our national exchequer. Though this may pot increase the market price at which a sale can be effected, it very certainly prevents reduction Tn prices, and g-ves the privilege of making the sale 10 the citizen farmer whom it was intended to benefit.
 The fCll effect of thus giving citizen farmers the first chance in United States markets seems to be much more vividly appreciated by the farmers of Canada than their allies this side the lIne. Here the average "reformer" will dismiss the suggestion with a wave of the hand and repetition of some free trade platitude that never was known to apply Tn a business transaction, while q little further north those subjects of the Queen whose lessons have been learned ID the school of experience stand ready to attest that the agrlcul- tural schedule of the Mckinley tariff has materially changed the outlook for sales of their products to our people.
 Such facts as these cannot be without weight with practical farmers whose votes are just now so urgently solicited by "reformers." who, if not in collusion with foreign sdversaries of protection certainly confirm suspicion of symphRty by their concurrent labors to the same end.

THE Fl Paso Times, an uncompron - ising Democratic paper, places tire de feat of the silver Bi where it rightly belongs. It says: The defeat of the silver blIl is a sore disappointment to the masses of the people in the west This disappointment is all the more bit ter to Western Democrats who had believed that the Democratic congress would keep faith with the people. The Democratic party has assured the west of it's friendliness to silver coinage; but when the test came one hundred and eighteen Democrats voted for the bill and nIpety-four voted against it. Ard ha too, after a Republican senate had passed it. The Republican party has not been recognized as particularly friendly to any interest of the west; but the Democrats failed ID the mom- eut of trial, to come up to the eXpecta- tion of their western friends.
