An old Scotch servant attached to
the household of the famous British
logician, Sir William Hamilton, was as
proud of his masters fame as if it had
been his own, and, having picked up a
few Of Sir Williams technical words
and phrases, brought them into play on
every possible occasion.
One day a gentleman who was fond
of drawing out old John for the amuse-
ment of the company said to him, with
an engaging air:
10 suppose, John, now that you've
lived SO long with such a.great reasoner
as Sir, William, you are quite able to
conduct an argument yourself2'

T.o, Stories Of Lucky Miner.


A. few Of the many stories that arc
told Of miners luck will enable the
reader to understand how and why the
heads of whole communities may be-,
turned in mining regions. Jim Whit
latch, the discoverer of the Whitlatch-
Union mine, near Helena, led typical
western miners life. The mine in qnes-
ton is now owned in England and has
produced $2O, ,0OO, 900 in gold. After Jim
Whitlatch had sold the property for
81 SOC, 900 no went to New York "to
make as much money as Vanderbilt
Hewas a rare treatto Wall street, which
fattened on him, and in one year let HIM
20 with only the clothes on his back.
He returned to Montana, began stpros-
pecting' again and discovered a mine
for which he got $3.50, 900. He went to
Chicago to rival Mr.. Potter Palmer in
wealth and returned just. as be did from
New York fat strapped" ," as he would
have expressed it. He made still an
other fortune and went to San Francisco,
Where he died q poor man.
Another Lewis and Clarke county
mine-the Drum mLummon-provides an
other such story 1t was discovered by
an Irish immigrant named Thomas
Cruise. Although he owned it, he could
not get q, sack Of -four on credit. He
sold it t6 an English syndicate for
81 500, 900. But he remains one of the
