a TENDERFooT's LUCK.
Runs Blindly Into a Ledge Of Very
Righ-grade Gold Ore.

a week ago The Eeralds Manning
correspondent notified this paper that
free gold had been discovered in the
Mignon claim. a short distance from
the Mercur mill. at that place but the
details of the discovery were not made
known. 50 that the value OF the find
was predetermined.
Since tnen little has been said regard
ing the discovery. and the fact of the
find was beginning to be lost sight of,
and probably would have been in time
but for the curiosity Of q few mining
men who have taken some little pains
to ferret out the circumstances OF the
discovery. the result being that it has
been asceTtained that it is genuine and
liable To attract considerable attention
to that locality during the coming sum-
mer.
From a gentleman who has investi-
gated into the merits of this free gold
discovery il is learned that il is another
instance of the luck Of tenderfOot. as
il appears that the find was made by a
member OF this fraternity. who began
work on the Iignon few months ago,
not paying any attention as to where
he started his tunnel. and seeking for
the easiest place to work, regardless of
the fact that there were no surface in
dications on his tunnel site. neither
WAS there a ledge in sight above or be-
the rock and dirt easily disposed of
down the mountain side. so this disci-
ple of the goddess OF luck pegged away
until he had driven his tunnel in dis
lance of about 80 feet. where he en-
countered a small body of what ap-
pears to be tale. which assayed very
high in gold, and little further on he |
uncovered a six-ineh pay streak that /
carries gold values ranging from
$1,000 TO $4,000 To THE TON.
and persons VINO have tested the ore by |
banning state that from two pieces of !
rock as large as a mans fist a thimble
fui of fine. clean gold has been recov-
cred.
In the face of the tunnel the forma
ton is full of stringers and seams of
high grade gold ore, and the indications
are that in time a fine body of mineral
will be disclosed. when another pro-
Queer can be added to Mercur's list of
paying mines

Excitement Over an Alleged Miracle

New York, April 5.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Lima, Peru, says: In

Immediately word was passed
through the city that the prelate had

Lima, a guard of honor was placed
about the palace and ARRANGEMENTS for
the funeral were begun.
Physicians who We're present at the
tune when the archbishop apparently
expired, were not entirely satisfied that
life was extinct, and on the bare chance
of reviving their distinguished patient.
they determined to resort to heroic
measures. They injected caffeine and

fairly successful and the archbishop
was able to thank those present for
their care. The doctors say that the

AT furtherest it will be only a few
days before the prelate is carried off,
for he is weak and sinking rapidly.
Meantime, many fanatical physicians
insist that a miracle has been per-
formed, and are accordingly in a very
excited state of mind.

that the shipments during the year had

this extraction came principally from

Manager Ritter also called the atten-

OF the mine to date. from which it was
seen that the shaft has reached a depth
of 724 feet, being sunk almost the entire
distance on a fine body of ore, the bot

is the concensus Of opinion among min

well feel proud of its record, which /

Z. j. Leonard, who recently made a

enthusiastic over it's condition, and the
vast bodies of excellent oxidized mill

diction that this property is destined to
come to the front in due time as one of
the biggest producers of the yellow
metal in Mercur camp, and especially so
as a short time ago. according to in
received from heavy eastern
stockholders, a new shaft was started
