Governor had done nothing against the real
ethics OF politics. The exchange OF few
letters fixed the matter all right, and now the
Spartacus of Mansfield is one of Sheldon's

of the Presidency. ,
Governor Sheldon had long laugh about 1T
yesterday. He had just been writing, the COM
plete story of how Garfield was nominated, and
he pulled it from his pocket and read a few
extracts.
The part that Bob Ingersoll played, the atti-
tude of Roscoe Conkling and Blaine were set
forth in detail.

the convention when had arrived on the
ground" said the Governor, 'that Garfield
would be the man. He did not seem displeased,
but acquiesced largely in my views.
"That was great convention; one Of the
most notable that has ever been held"
Ex-Justice of the Peace Henry Schaefer,
known all over the coast as "Judge" Schaefer,
who couple of years ago made comfortable
bonanza out OF mines at White Hills, Ariz., is
in the City.
The Judge was the discoverer OF the first pay
mine in the White Hills, and many were the
days, SO he tells himself, when it was tough
rustling to make both ends meet on that sec
ton OF the frontier
The new place which the Judge had chosen
in which to locate mine was well on TO fifty
miles away from Kingman, the nearest place
where bacon, sugar, coffee and flour could be
bought. Besides this, the entire region was
fearfully destitute of water. There was good,
liberal sprinkling OF alkali to be counted on
also wherever the veteran miner and dispenser
OF justice CHANGED to east his eyes.
1t was paradise the Judge had struck.
That was apparent. But after couple of years
of this kind of life the gods smiled on him. He
got good BODY of ore, and almost Immediately
let go of some of his several properties. The
sum he got was about $4,000, and straight
way the Judge sidetracked the pick and shovel
so far as personal exerttons were concerned
and betook himself to an easier mode of life.
He has sbjured the flannel shirt for one of
the boiled variety, and he has discarded some
other of the habiliments OF mining camp garb,
though he yet wears sort hat.
Seen at the Grand yesterday he said he had
recently invested $15 900 in factory for max
ing q new kind of cash register, and thought
he would yet make another bonanza.

good health. His new successes have given
him all the confidence of youth, though his
condolences seem rarely TO have ever been
misplaced. Whenever he spent the money
completely from one discovery, he somehow
always managed to make raise again.
Jerome Churchill, one of the pioneers of
Siskiyou County, and one OF the richest also, is
down from his home at Yreka. He says that
not since the old gold-mining days has there
been so much activity at Ireka.
The activity amounts to little short of
boom. There is not a vacant house in the
town. The population has increased very
rapidly du ring the past few months, and is in
creasing now steadily. 1t is all, he says, be-
cause of the development of the gold mines.
Much as the county has been worked and not
withstanding the fame of its different bars and
lodges, because of their products in past times,
