SUDDENLY BECAME RICH.
Canadian Miner Found a Monstrous Lung
of Precious Metal.


4 prospecting miner returning, wear
ried and disguised, from an unsuccessful
season, stumbled across a bowlder so
rich In gold that in an instant he is a
millionaire, says the New York Jour
nal. 1t reads like a fairy tale, but il
happens to be true.
There is satisfactory evidence of the
truth of Martin Neilly's wonderful find
It was on Monday, April 81, that Nelly
was returning to Rossland, B. c., after
an unsuccessful prospecting trip in the
Salmon river district. He had reached
the Columbia river at point six mics
north of Trail Landing, B. c., atabout
noon, and, selecting a site on the bank
Of the stream, at the foot of Lookout
mountain, sat down to eat his dinner.
As he munched his humble food he
noticed huge bowlder, half buried in
the sand, in dry portion of the river
bed, not far from where he sat.
When he had finished his meal he
walked over to the bowlder, examining
it in casual manner, and then, as his
experienced eye detected signs of the
precious metal for which he had vainly
sought for months, he attacked the
great gray mass with his pick, working
with feverish energy. He almos.
swooned when fragment of rock came
away, showing distinctly the traces OF
gold and copper.
II am rich," he shouted. Then he
proceeded to take specimens of the ore
from dozen places on the bowlder
staked out his claim, hurried into Ross
land, arriving late in the afternoons and
recorded the claim. The next day he
had his specimens assayed by different
experts, who found that the ore ran in
value all the way from four to fifty
eight dollars to the ton.
When he told of his great fortune
there was wild rush to the place.
surveyor accompanied Nelly to his
bonanza, and, after making measure
ments, declared that the bowldei
weighed approximately 10000 tons, and
that in round numbers, it will prove tc
be worth S1,000,0 900.

the southern states, during the

Who's to Blame 2

A bicyclist and a mail carrier in
a two-wheel gig collided this morn
ing at the corner of Commerce and
Alamo streets. The bicyclist &C.
cused the mail carrier of careless
ness, while the latter claimed 1t

the wheel, claim the man in the
gig was at fault, while others say
the bicyclist wanted too much
road.

Father Phelan Sizes Up the Renegade

In the Western Waterman, the editor,
Father Phelan, thus analyses the great
Tammany orator, Bourke Cochran:
I'VE went to hear Bourke Cochran at
the. Auditorium, Monday evening. He
has the reputation OF being one Of the
greatest orators of the age, and we want
ed to learn the secret of his power. He
is rather clumsy in his movements, and
is heavy of carriage. He has extremely
narrow shoulders for his height and
weight. His head is not large, and the
rear bumps of vigor are not well devel-
oped, showing that he lacks sustained
power. His face is heavy; the flesh Of
his cheeks and mouth is solid; his lips
are not thin, and they close with the i'm
mobility Of watch-case. He has not
the delicate features of the artist; his
mouth and tongue are very large; he is
stentorian rather than subtle and mag
netic. His voice is strong and sonorous,
but is entirely out of the chest He has
no throat or head voice, and it's quality
Is what is known as the negro voice,
soft, sweet and musical; yet not Of that
cultivated kind that reveals the soul of
the prophet, the wizard, the magician.
1t goes to the ear and stops there. It has
no secret for the heart. He is not grace
full. He is the stump orator. Hhere is a
suggestion of the Bowery in the tones
of his voice and a bravado staccatoes all
his intonations. At the first manifesto
ton of disapproval he showed the petted,
spoiled child of the New York Democracy
and he became ludicrously aggressive.
He did not wear dress suit, and when
saluting one Of the finest audiences that
ever faced speaker in this or any other
country, he deliberately showed both
hands down into his trouser pockets. OF
his speech nothing need be said. He had
avowed his intention OF voting the Re-
publican ticket, and he addressed his au-
dlence as Fellow Democrats HE was
Kissed and hooted, and what else could

pect?"
