4 Strange Find.

). G. Weston has made strange
discovery at tile Baltimore copper
mine OH Lone Mountain. There ia
an old shaft on the mine about %
feet deep and considerable ore has
been taken from the vein on the sur
face north OF tho shaft. About ten
days ago ho concluded to strip the
vein extending south OF the shaft. In
doing so he went through about
eighteen inches OF black loan md
found evidence OF old workings hav.
ing been filed in with debris. Pass
ing through this debris he discovered
a two-foot ledge OF maIachite. with
Il tlircc-foot ledge OF red oxide OF
copper adjoining it. The strange
part OF the discovery is how the vein
Of malachitc came to be covered with
filled i'll matter. The loan, which
appears to be OF the same depth as
that adjoining it, must have taken
ages to form over the debris.
Mr.. Weston is OF the opinion that
the vein was discovered by the Span
iards and for some reason covered up
with foreign matter packed from the
surrounding country. lie is OF the
opinion that it occurred several
hundred years ago. Mr.. Weston will
leave the ground as it is in order TO
give scientific men n chance to inyes.
tigate the find. Should old tools OF
TINT period be uncovered on the ledge

THE FUTURE or ROOSEVELT.

Six weeks is a short time in which to judge of the merits of an adminis- trator, but it is Cnly fair to say that in this short interval Governor Theodore Roosevelt has succeeded to quite a de- gree in surprising his friends and dis appointing his enemies. There was a fear on one side and hope on the other tEt-t as soon as he assumed the guber- material functions he would ''slolo over'' frequently and lamentably; but thus far he has shown a degree of discretion which he did not exhibit during the term of his campaign. The governor of the state of New York occupies an exceedingly important position. He is not cramped and hampered as is the chief magistrate of this state He can have, in something the way that the president of the United States has, an administrative policy, and can power fully influence legislation by sugges- tiOns as well as vetoes In the matter of appointments he has freer hand than most governors, and. as New York is the empire state of the Union, it is not singular that her governor should be the most important political parsonage in the country, barring the leaders at Washington.
 In the course marked out for himself governor Roosevelt has thus far shown determination, honesty and independ- ence. He is apparently working for the public interests without regard to merely temporary political conditions. Possibly on the basis of the well re- membered statement of President Cleveland, that he serves his party best who serves his country best,'' he has in the appointments made disre- garded the applications of party lead CTS, and has appointed men whom he thought best fitted to do the desired public work, although in one or two instances the persons so appointed have been members of the democratic party. If for the next year and a half Governor Roosevelt continues on the high plane of administrative service he has placed himself, he will be a formid- able candidate in national politics.

 Frcn. time 10 time the doctor came to the door fer little air and to rest his eyes, which were almost smoked out of his head; and whenever he did so, he had a word for me.
 That nan Slnollett," he said once, lis better man than I am. And when I say that it means a deal, Jim" Another time he came and was silent for awhile Then he put his head on one side, and looked at me.
 ''Is this Ben Gum man?'' he asked.
 ''I do not know, si1," said l. II am not very sure whether he's sane." ''If there's any doubt about the mat ter, he is,'' returned the doctor. "A man who has been three years biting his nails on a desert island, Jim, can't eX- pect to appear as sane as you or me. It doesn't lie in human nature. Was it ( "Yes, sir, cheese" I answered. Well, Jim,' says he, just see the good that comes of being dainty in your food. You've seen my Enuff-boX, haven't you? And you never saw me take snuff; the reason being that in my snuff-boX I carry a piece of Parme- san cheese-a cheese made in Italy, very nutritious. Well, that's for Ben Gunn! Before supper was eaten we buried old Tom in the sand, and stood round him for awhile bareheaded in the breeze A good deal of firewood had been got in, but rot enough for the cap tain's fancy, and he shook his head over it. and told Us we must get back to this tomorrow rather livelier.' Then, when we had eaten our pork, and each had a good stiff glass of brandy grog, the three chiefs got together in corner to discuss our prospects.
 It appears they were at their wits end what to do. the stores being so low that we must have been starved into surrender long before help came. But our best hoHe, it was decided. was to kill off the buccaneers until they either hauled down their flag or ran away with the "Hispaniola." From nineteen they were already reduced to fiftecn two others were wounded, and one, at Ieast-the man shot beside the gun severely wounded, if he were not dead. Every time we had crack at them we were to take it, saving our own lives with the eXtremest care. And besides that we had two able allies, rum and the climate.
 As for the first. though we were about half mile away, we could hear them roaring and singing late into the night: and as. for the second. the doctor staked his wig that, camped where they were in the marsh, and unprovided with rem cdies, the half of them would be on their backs before week.

The slopes of the knoll and all the inside of the stockadc had been cleared of timber. to build the house, and we could see by the stumps what a fine and lofty grove had been destroyed Most of the soil had been washed away or buried in drift after the re. moval of the trees; only where the strea inlet ran down from the kettle q thick bed of moss and some ferns and little creeping bushes were still green among the sand. Very close around the stockade-too close for defense, they said-the wood still fourished high and dense, all of fir oa the land side, but toward the sea with large admixture of live oaks.
 The cold evening breeze, Of which I have spoken, whistied through every chink of the rude building, and sprinkled the floor with a continual rain of fine sand. There was sand in our eyes. sand in our teeth, sand in ou. suppers, sand dancing in the spring at the bottom of the kettle. for all the world like porridge beginning to boil. Our chimney was q square hole in the roof; it was but q little r2rt of the smoke that found its way out, and the rest eddied about the house, ard kept us coughing ard piping thecye.
