John Millions Cottage.

One of the best preserved historic
country houses in all England is John
Milton's cottage at Chalfont st. Giles,
to which the blind and aging poet fed
when the great plague swooped down on
London. That was in July, 1865, and
Milton had just finished paradise

it, with premise of three more e5
notes if the poem sold four editions of
1,3OO copies each. The cottage stands
at the top of the village, and it is in
practically the same condition as when
Milton left it. Here the poet received
his distinguished guests during the lat
ter part Of his life. 1t is now one of

that shaft, with smooth start and
easy stops and lightning between. But

PAID FROM THE GRASS ROOTS.
Result of One Mans Work at the
Three Link Mine.

A very interesting mining develop
ment is that of the Three Link prop
erty in the Black Hornet district, says
the Statesman Of Boise. IDA. The claim
YVES recently located by Mr.. Glenn. 1t
is about mile from the Hornet. A
strong vein of ore was found at the
surface and the owner set about get
ting out a shipment. He worked during
August and got nine tons on the dump.
This ore has been worked In the Steen
mill here and yielded $500 in gold. The
total expense of hauling and milling
was S54, leaving Mr.. Glenn $246 net for
his months work.
That iS something of a Klondike in
itself With the property opened up
for extraction of ore it can be seen
that it would yield a profit that would
make q Klondiker enViouS.
The work is not more than 10 feet
deep, this ore having been taken out
in doing the location work required by
the state law. The pay streak is about
two feet in width. 1t will require more
development to determine the extent
of the ore body; but it has the appear
ance of being large chute. With such
a start we may expect the Three Link
to become a famo..s property. The
veins in that section, as at all points
on the Boise gold belt, increase both in
size and in grade with depth, and
there is no reason to doubt that the
rule will hold good in this case.

Nnlagrana was governor of the north

ago, and during revolution was kid
mapped by a party under direction of
Jose Moreno, who proclaimed himself
dictator. he summoned Villagrapa to
trial, and upon finding him guilty or
dered him sent to the Guaymas for sem
tence.
Bound with chains, villagrana was
taken by nine men across the desert

Moreno gave secret instructions to the
nine men TO go past IIl Tajo, well down
on the desert. and then shoot Villa
grana in the back, bury him where he
fell and bring back the story that he
had attempted To escape
Two Of the men told Yillagrana and
refused to murder him, and the other
seven finally agreed TO take him to
Lerdo as directed. On the way Villa
grana heard the men tell Of a lost gold
mine in the vicinity of Ell Tajo, which
was worked by the mission fathers,
said to be the richest mine in Lower
California. He saw the indications of
a mineral country on the way, but kept
