QUEER STORIES OF LUCKY
MINERS.


A fow of the many stories that
are told OF miners luck will enable
the reader to understand how and
why the heads of whole communi-
ties, says Harper's Magazine, may
be turned in mining regions.
jim Whltlatch, the diseovefer of
the Whitlatch Union mine, near
Helena, Mont, lead typical west
ern miners life. The mine in
question is now owned in England,
and has produced $20,000,0G0 in
gold. After jim Whitiatch had
sold the property for Sl,500,000,
he went to New York to "make as
much money as Vanderbilt" He
was rare treat to Wall street,
which fattened on him and in one
year let him 60 with only the
clothes on his back. He returned
to Montana, began prospecting
again and discovered a mine for
which be got S25O,000. lie went
to Chicago to rival Potter Palmer
in wealth, and returned just as he
did from New York fiat strap
ped as he would have expressed
it He made still another fortune
and went to San Francisco, where
he died a poor man.
Another Lewis and Clark codn.y
mine, the Drum Lummon, pro-
vides another story. 1t was dis
covered by an Irish emigrant
named Cruise. Although he own
ed it he could not get sack of
-four on credit. He sold it to an
English syndicate for $1,500,0O0.
But he remains one of the wealthy
men of Helena.
There Is an OK state senator in
Beaver Head county who owns a
very rich mine, the ore yielding
500 to the ton net He Is a Cali
fornia '95er, who came prospector
to Montana, and since discovering
his mine has lived upon it in a
particular way. He has no faith
In banks. He says his money Is
safest in the ground. When he
has spent what money he has, he
takes on a wagon load of ore. ships
it to Omaha, sells 1t, and lives on
the returns until he needs another
wagon load.
There is queer story concern
ing the Spotted Horse mine, in
Fergus county. 1t was found by
P. A. Meadow, who sold it to Gov.
Houser and A. NJ. Holder for $780,
600 three years ago. They paid
large sum down in cash and the
other payments we're to come out
of the ground. The ore was in
pockets, each of which. was easily
exhausted. Whatever was taken
out went to Meadow, who got
about 100000. When the pur-
chasers abandoned it, on the advice
of experts. and Meadow got hold
of 1t, be found the vein, over which
rails had been laid for a mining
car, He has taken out $500, 900

to Hillsborough this year, will ado
to the value of the ore, and the
smelters now in process of con-
strpction will still further enhance
the profits of mining"
"What Is the character OF the
ore, and how large are the VEINS,
or pay streaks?"
"The gold ores are uniformly OF
quartz. carrying iron, copper, gold
and some silver, at the surface,
and down to depth OF about so
feet the iron and copper are
oxidized and adapted for free
milling process. At greater
depth the ore appears as a
sulphlde, and smelling becomes
necessary. The average ore con-
tains about FIVE per cent. copper,
but some will carry up to DO per
cent. The gold value varies
greatly, hut is seldom less than
$40 or more than $400 per ton.
The silver runs from five to thirty
ounces to the ton. The veins of
ore vary from two or three inches
to eight and ten feet. These
larger veins of quartz, as found
around Animas peak, have not yot
been worked to any extent and
their average value is low, from
81 to $40 per ton"

"Carbopates OF lead and iron,
galena and iron, and copper

"Is the district all taken In by

"Not one-hundredth part. The
claims are most numerous in the

chance for the prospector, and
especially 80 IN the surrounding

"What are the facilities or the
treatment of ore at Hlllsboro, and
the cost of the eame?'
"There are four mills at Hills
boro, two OF which are prepared to
do custom work at the rate of
81 to S. per ton. A smelter is
building, and is ready now to treat
ore, but at what figure Is not yet

"What is the present population,
and what is the appearance of

"The population is now between
700 and 800. The appearance of

residences already built in the
suburbs are of tasteful design and

many beautiful shade trees, which
conceal and alleviate the defects OF

the water supply excellent. Good

| OPINION OF THE COURT PER JUDD, CD.
At the last October term of this
Court a verdict was rendered in
favor of the plaintiff for the amount
claimed in the plaintiffs action
which was assumpsit to recover
the amount Of two promissory
notes for $500 and 5000 dated 10Th
and 18th of February, 1888, res
pectively made by defendant to
Sing Chong & Company endorsed
by plaintiff and at maturity paid by
the endorser.
The defendant plead in abate-
ment of the action his discharge
in bankruptcy dated the 18th
April, 1889. To this the plaintiff
filed a replication setting up prom
Uses of the defendant to pay the
debt, made since the discharge.
The question raised by the bill of
exceptions is whether the evidence
on the matter set up in the repli-
cation sustains the verdict. We
find the law to be that, as dis
charge in bankruptcy discharges
the debt, it will take more than a
mere acknowledgment or recogni-
ton of the debt to create legal
obligation to pay it, but there
must be an express promise to pay
the debt. Porter VS.. Porter 81
Maine ITO. In that case the Court
held that the promise by the bank
rupt to give new note is not such
a promise as will sustain an action
upon the original debt.
In Stark VS.. Stinson % N. H.
261 it was held that nothing less
than an express promise to pay
will revive a debt discharged by a
decree in bankruptcy.
This or a similar instruction was
given to the jury. In reviewing
the notes of evidence sent up, we
find testimony by Alec, plaintiff,
Ing Choy, and Chan Chin Sing of
promises to pay made by the de-
PENDANT, which though denied by
defendant were sufficient upon
which the jury could base their
verdict.
We therefore override the excep-
tons.
The verdict must stand.

Johnson's lips water. A broad smile
covers his face. He is the happiest
man in all Polynesia. He quickly
calls his chef de cuisine and sends him
to the market on double quick. The
chef flies like Mercury of old. He
reaches the market out of breath.
He RECEIVERS himself, however, as
speedily as possible, and yells in
stentorian tones: "Sea-bass steaks

the steaks. He guards them jealousy.

Hawaiian Hotel. Time: $50 to 7:30
P. NJ, of April 21st.
The menu looks attractive. The
piece de resistance is the wonderful sea-
bass. Our excellent host smiles
complacently. 1t is the proudest
day he has known since the last one.
He thinks continually of the delight

his guests are to be tickled The
guests file in in squads. They read
the menu. "Great Scott" they ex-
claim, ''read it for yourselves! Just

and outsiders take it for a sign that

soon be on his feet again. "Waiter!"

The male guests commence to swear,
in spite of the presence of ladies.
The blessed females do not resent
the insult. They feel that they, too,
have grievance. A riot seems i'm
minent. Sand-bags are sent for.
Reason for all this The alleged sea-

it had been brought to the attention
Of our excellent host, Hamilton

ways ready to discover things new
and old, both in nature and in art,
hurried to the market. He asked to
see the wonderful sea-bass. He was
pointed to a wreck, consisting only
of the head and tail of the now cele-
brated fish. He examined them care
fully. He looked into the animals

tail. The remainder, in the shape of
steaks, was lying on the counters for
sale. He smiled, and walked away,
