AROUND THE CORRIDORS.
At the celebration down at San Luis Oblspo
Saturday in honor of the opening of the South
ern Pacific road through TO that point the
gentlemen who had charge of the programme
had arranged for banquet at which Z. r.
Huntington was TO have been the prlnclpal
guest. But that gentleman elected % go and
come quietly as possible. so the banquet was
given with a number Of other distinguished
gentltm men as the guests of honor. As is usual
In such events, there were various toasts and
responses, and to j. G. Stubs was assigned the
pleasant task OF fittingly expressing the graces
of California's women and he merits OF her
wines, or something 10 that effect. MIR. Stubbs'
effort was not OF an extemporaneous character;
In fact lie bad given much care and attention
to the preparation OF the paper, aud. following
an inclination suggested by the knowledge of
having done a neat piece OF work and the de-
sire that it might not be wholly lost 10 posterity.
he had several neatly drawn type
written copies. prepared for the use
of the newspaper men. With the subjects
OF MIR. Stubbs remarks the visitor 10 San Luis
Obispo last Saturday had ample opportunities
10 view the loVeiness OF the one and TO exper-
ence the exhilarating attributes of The other,
and the speaker, II Is said. seemed inspired by
his environment. But with the nature of Mr..
Stubs remarks this Item has nothing TO
do. As has been stated he had provided him
self with copies Of the same, which he took
home with him the evening before the start and
carefully placed in the pockets OF one OF his
assortment of dress suits. After the conclusion
of the banquet several newspaper men sought
out the speaker and requested permission 10
publish his response. TO which he acqulesced.
and Immediately instituted search for the
docum- nts mentioned. but they were not 10 be
found. After a vain search through his gar
ments it suddenly dawned upon Mr.. Stubbs'
mind that he had worn The wrong coat away
from home. Such is the exclamation Of the tel
egraph's failure to chronicle Mr.. Stubbs' views
on two subjects dear TO the heart OF every Cali
fornlan.
81 recently saw a story in Salt Lake paper
about the discovery Of lost mine. with the his
tory of which / am somewhat familiar" said
NJ. S. Malone of Denver al the Occidental yes
terday. Ever since the Gentle Invasion into
Utah there have been many vague rumors to
the effect that In the lofty mountains which
add so much 10 the beauty of Utah's scenery
many rich mining discoveries were made In
early days which were, in the troub!ous times
which followed, abandoned and all traces as
carefully concealed as possible. Living near
Lehi is very old lady who gives her recolec-
tion of an instance OF the kind mentioned. She
says that about forty years ago, when john
sons army passed through there, two men
deserted from the ranks and went into the
mountains where they began mining. The old
lady says she distinctly remembers the men for
they often came 10 her fathers store o obtain
supplies. To all appearances they were ex-
ceedingly lucky. for they now and then
displayed bags of gold dust and showed
many rich specimens OF gold bear
ing quartz. The news OF their discovery
was soon noised about, Initiating the imagina-
tions of the quiet, plodding settlers with dreams
of sudden wealth. But, alas for them, their
castles In the air soon came tumbllng about
their ears. for the news also found It's way to
Brigham Young. The Bishop OF the settlement
was given orders that the work must be stopped,
and the mine was accordingly blown up,
whether or not with its unlucky owners inside
no one knows. AT any rate, they were never
heard OF afterward. Their story had been al
most forgotten until recently when four men,
who had been prospecting In what Is known
as Beef Gu'eh, made discoveries which
forcibly brought it TO mind. In follow
ing indications of gold they ran across
a tunnel about 150 feet In length which bore
every sign of having been blown up. Whether
this is the same mine owned by the unucky
prosps ctors forty years ago cannot be said, bur
be that the case or not the pres Mt discoverers
have struck bonanza having had assays run

any development"
zone would think that in church organiza-
tions there should be an entire absence OF
worldly strifes," said the Rev. A. S. McCord of
Jersey City yesterday, "but unfortunately such
Is not the case, and in my experience l have
witnessed some OF the most bitter, unchrls-
tianlike and long-continued contests among
these very bodies. The latest and rather the
most original coereive measure ever heard of a
church adopting was some time ago put into
operation by members OF q Methodist congre-
cation in my city. The pastor had become OBJ
jectIonable to the trustees of the church. just
as several Incumbents had before him. This
was due TO the disposition OF the trustees TO
run things 10 suit themselves, and when the
pastor, In this instance, asserted himself, they
threatened to throw him out. and actually car.
ried The threat into execution. The trustees
proceeded to hold out the salary due their min
lister. Only small nstalments were paid him,
and members of the church say that he and his
family at times actually suffered for the neces
saries of life. The pastor would not resign for
time because he believed he was struggling
for just cause, and he would not make public
the manner In which he was being treated for
the SIMPLE reason that such course involved
a scandal. Recently, however, the conference
has ordered his removal TO another post OF duty,
and If he can raise enough money 10 pay his
expenses there have no doubt he will accept
the transfer with feeling Of relief"
"Sam Jones, the noted evangelist. has an imi-
tator in Texas who, in bis peculiar way, Is
quite as original as MIR. Jones himself" said A.
V. Hoy OF Dallas, that State, yesterday. both
the evangeists mentioned are now working In
Texas, and both attract large crowds. The
newcomer in the evangelistic field bears the
euphonious name of Sin Killer Grimm, and he Is
as black as the proverbial ace OF spades AT
