FRANKLIN's LOST LEAD NINE.
where Did Stinson Hooper Sit After
Shooting that Deer!

The proposed opening OF lead mines at
Lubec has revived the story OF Frankiin's
lost lead mine, somew here in the noun
taius west OF Turk pond.
Ten years ago quantities OF lead were
found there by StInson Hooper who was
hunting forest fire had swept over
large portion OF the country, leaving
nothing but charred timber aud in some
places 1t had entirely burned tue soil,
leaving nothing but the bare lodges. The
fire had swept this section in springtime,
so that the tender BURBERRY bushes and
clover that sprang up made 1t quite
feeding-ground for deer in the autumn
months.
Mr.. Hooper had killed fine buck deer
while on one OF his trips. He was some
what exhausted from his long tramp and
sat down upon an old charred windfall.
While seated there he began poking fiat
surface OF " hat he supposed was rock,
without any though OF making dis
covery. The gun barrel seemed to make
the surface OF the stone shine, and he be-
gan to examine 1t closer. He found 1t
was lead, and began TO cut it with his
jack-knife Then he noticed seam in
the rock from which the metal had
flowed when the forest fire was raging.
He took the rsmrod from the old army
rifle and pried up piatter-like surface
that would weigh two pounds or more.
He followed the seam for hundred feet
or more, and In several places found OF her
spots W here the heated lead had melted
and leak out.
Several OF the easiest pieces to dislodge
he pried out and started for the settle
ment to make his find known, intending
to return with party for his slaug htered
deer, which he left rs mark. But Mr..
Hooper did not return for the deer, or to
show his lead mine. He had left the
specimens for public inspection In the
corner store and told his story, when he
was taken sick, so could not act as guide.
He gave to Franklin people the location
as near as he could tell, and, as one OF
the prospecting party said, "he would not
send US on any tonfooi's errand."
Soon afterwaru Mr.. Hooper died but he
story OF hi, bunting trip lived and stil il
held as truth by members OF the party
who followed his instructions.
Many leading citizens OF Franklin have
prospected since then. All have found
lead, but not in paying quantities. One
OF the party says he Is full OF confidence
yet. lie thinks that il man could find
the spot where Stinson Hooper sat after
shooting that deer, there would be real
lead mine in Franklin.

The teacher Of a class in Sunday school
has difficult task imparting scraps Of
religious instruction to her young
charges, and often amusing answers are
unconsciously returned to questions
which she asks. One OF the funniest ex
periences. which well shows the queer
ideas which the children receive in their
lessons, was given when, after a discus
sion OF shipwreck, which followed a les
son three or four weeks previously on the
weIl-known story Of Jonah aud the Whale,
she happened to ask: suppose big
storm arose at sea, and it looked as
though you We're going to be drowned,
What would you do?' Il would throw a
man over board for the whale to swallow"
WAS the reply.
