AN UNEXPECTED BITE.

One of the queerest experiences in
catching trout that any man ever had
was that at MoOsehead lake recently
by an Attleboro sportsman named Will
liams. He was standing on the apron
of the dam at Wilson's, fishing in the
quick water below, and had met with
fair success. Near the shore. on his
right hand, in little eddy he noticed
a barrel lying on its side in several feet
of water. He wondered what it was
there for, and was so curious that he
left his fishing and went down to eX-
anime. He found that it was an old
molasses barrel. and was lying so that
he could see the bunghole.
OF course, the barrel was full of wa
ter, and the man had no idea there was
a fish inside of it, but just for curiosity
he dropped his hook through the hole,
and no sooner had it landed there than
the water was boiling, and the fisher
man knew he had a trout on the other
end. He played him until the fish was

THE WILD ROSE OF WILTON.
Remarkable Career of Young Girl
Outlaw Still in Her Teens.

Within the gloomy walls of a Con-
necticut prison, dropping and pining
for the wilderness of the forest. lam
gushing for the lack of sunlight. is
the Wild Rose of Wilton" Not yet
out of her teens, Minnie Sturm, brown
eyed and beautiful, has had a career
that well might puzzle a philosopher
to account for.
Reared in quiet, old fashioned
house near Norwalk, this girl, with a
rich profusion of dark brown hair, with
hands soft and white with a beauty
such that many a maiden of lordly
birth might envy her. untutored and in
tatters. is yet a queen of men, lawless
men though they are.
Not more than a mile from her
home, beneath the shelter of two great
rocks. was the rendezvous of a ma
rauding band of idlers. There this
farmers daughter found them about
two years ago. She cast her life with
theirs. When a raid on neighboring
cellars and hen roosts made provisions
plentiful there in the rendezvous, it
was Minnie Sturm minnie Brotherton)
who cooked the viands over a fire of
logs.
But the band became too daring The
hand of the law seized them. Some
were imprisoned and the others scat
tered. Minnie Brotherton promised to
mend her ways and the lenient authori-
ties let her go her way.
For a short time she lived quietly
but not contentedly, in the old house.
few months later she married Valen-
tine Sturm of Norwalk, and went to
live with the family of h husband.
Her stay there was REMARKABLY short.
Seven months after she left him, and in
the winter of 1893 she applied to the
selectmen of Norwalk for support. She
was sent to the town farm.
Even there she showed her wild ten

CENTRAL ARIZONA.

The following mining notes relative
to central Arizona properties are taken
from the Mining and Scientific Press:
The American group of gold mines
on a tributary of Castle creek, hVe
miles southeast of the Ryland mine. is
being worked by eastern people under
the management of DR.. Fort OF Phoe-
nix.
Colonel Christy is in charge OF the
Whipsaw group of the west side or
Castle creek, near the American group.
Thomas Parish, who is interested in
this property, says the company con-
templates putting in a smelter.
The Mammoth group, formerly own
ed by Robert Groom, and the Swallow,
at the head of Buzzard Roost gulch, the
latter owned by Duncan & Kelsey of
Pittsburg, Pa. and managed by Mr..
Large, are also working.
K. Barrett is operating a mine in
Buzzard Roost, few miles west of the
American mines.
Extensive developments at the depth
of $500 feet in the Congress mine are
reported to have greatly increased the
ore reserves in that mine.
a A twenty ton mill run from one of H.
T. Winstons mines at Placeritas, near
Antelope Hill, averaged over $50 a ton.
A shoot of rich copper ore, carrying
gold values, was encountered in level
No. 2 of the Homestake mine, 120 feet
below the surface. This mine is on the
Big Bug and is owned by Block q
Gray The mine heretofore has been
producing gold, silver and lead.

MINING NOTES.

The Markeen Copper company, own
ed by New York capitalists and super
intended by Leopold Balbach, is open
ing a promising copper property near
the old Copper King.
The Tennessee mine at Chloride has
six feet of 100 ounce silver ore.
In the course of development work on
the Midnight mine at Chloride rich gold
and silver ore is being found.
The Octave Mining company expects
the arrival of machinery for its forty
stamp mill within twenty days, and are
making arrangements for it's transpor-
tation from the railroad to the mine.

run. At the present development he
has opened four distinct lenses of rich
copper ore aggregating seventy-four
feet in width. Mr.. Haggott has un-
bounded faith in the Blue Bell develop

OLD LETTERS FROM PRESIDENTS
Valuable Collection Found in a TowI
Near Bridgeport, Conn.

There has lately been found in a
town near Bridgeport, Conn.,, a valu-
able collection of old letters of nearly a
century ago. among them several by
George Washington, Andrew Jackson,
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, James
Monroe and John Quincy. Adams. The
letters were found among some old pa
pers and books belonging to one of the
oldest families in the state, and are in
the best condition, although they have
been stored away for nearly one hum
bred years. The Washington letter was
written to a Connecticut members of
the family when the general was with
the army on the Hudson river, and
pertains to the probable movement of
his and the enemy's troops.
The letters of John Quincy Adams
and Andrew Jackson are peculiarly in
teresting, as they are both written to
the same friend, on the same day in
March, 1924, and each asks the common
friend to say what he thinks the
chances of each are for president. This
was in the days when the vice prssi-
dent was elected in the same count as
the president, the one receiving the
greatest number of votes being chosen
president. Each asks his correspond
ent what he should do when elected,
and how he should act toward his
friend and rival. The Jackson letter
is also very valuable, and is one Of
the most characteristic letters in exist
ence written by the general. The find
has made quite a stir among anti
quaries in the state, and all the old
trunks and libraries are being over
hauled to find others of the same kind.
