Then for nearly 90 years Tabor logged
along, meeting with moderate prosperity.
Thousands of times, as he says, he walled
over Fryer hill and never thought itworth
while "to stick "a pick into il" WREN
within 81 feet of the surface lay the crest
of a silver deposit worth millions of dol
lars. Every season he grub stakcd'' men
TO prospect for him and themselves, and
every season was out just that much,
for they never found anything. For the
benefit of those unfamiliar with mining
terms IL may bc said that to grub stake"
n prospcctor is TO furnish him with food
free of cost for n share in any mines that
he may discover But on the 18th OF
April, 1873, Tabor GRUB staked' Rischo
and Hook. They began TO dig on Fryer
hill, and all the old miners laughed at
them. They dug away, and ut the depth
of % feet struck silver orc that ran 200
ounces to the ton. They called their mine
the Little Pittsburg. This was the foun-
dation of Tabor's great fortune. In less
than month after the discovery he paid
Hook 500, 600 for his share of tho mine,
and in three months more he paid Rische
S2G2, 800 for his third thus becoming sole
owner OF tho Little Pittsburg, one Of the
greatest mines ever discovered at Leadville
and from which he received more than
81 900, 600.

Filled with experiences Of this kind, IL
took just six weeks To make the journey
from Denver 10 California gulch, the party
arriving at their destination in April. The
snow was from three TO five feet deep, and
there were not moro than 80 men in the
camp Ii did not take very long, however,
10 change these conditions, and by the
middle Of July there werc 10, 200 men az
work prospecting and washing gold.
In recalling these early days In the gulch
Senator Tabor said: "The everyday life of
q miner is not very interesting. He digs
in the gravel, he throws il into the sluice,
he forks out the powders, he cleans up
to sec how much gold he has secured day
after day, week after week, month after
month. There isn't any romance in any
kind OF hard work. The romance Is al
ways in results. The preliminaries are
always prosaic 1t is sufficient for me TO
say, therefore, that worked hard and at
the end Of the season found that had
cleared $4,000 That isn't much money
nowadays, and very often since then j
have cleared ten times that amount In less
than half tho time. But never lave felt SO
happy as over that little pile Of gold dust
dug out of the gravel of Califoi aia gulch
in the summer Of 1860. The next summer
i worked my claim and in two seasons
made about sl5, ,000."

TALES OF THE TIMES.
How FickIe Fortune Has Used III. A. w.
Tabor as n Plaything.

The fact that "Fortune is a tickle god
dess" was never more aptly illustrated
than in the career Of ex-senator III. A. w.
Tabor of Colorado. A farmer, stone
mason, n small grocery keeper, a great
mine owner, q multimillionaire and pro-
pitetor of great blocks of buildings in
Denver, the pesscssor and builder of one
of the finest opera houses in the world,
lieutenant governor Of Colorado, United
States senator and now poor man once
more, delving in the dirt for another for
tune among the golden hills of Cripple
Creek-this in a paragraph Is tho history
of man who has received more fiattery
and more criticism, more favors and
fiaunts OF fortune, than fall 10 the lot OF
most men. The other day brief telegram
from Denver was published 20 the effect
that the last piece of property owned by
ex x-Senator Tabor had been sold under the
hammer to satisfya mortgage for $500, 900,
thus closing one of the pages in a strange,
eventful history.
In 1859 Tabor went 20 Denver, leaving
farm in Kansas and a seat in the Kansas
legislature. He staid in Denver through
the winter, and early in the spring OF
1860, with two friends, drove yoke of
oxen attached to a rickety old wagon out
of the city en- route 70 California gulch,
the present site OF Leadvillc. Ii Is n curl
Gus coincidence that i'm making this jour
ney more than 80 years ago Tabor must
