A good story is told about how two
prospectors had saltcd mine in the
Galeua district in order To rob a cou-
pie Of rich widows, which resulted in
the aforesaid widows becoming much
weather.
The prospectors had spent their last
cent in digging a hole in the ground to
the extent of 90 feet without striking
anything but yellow clay. But one of
them knew of two rich widows who
We're just spelling to have their money
sunk in mine. Accordingly they
spent two nights in sailing their mine,
They hadn't sufficient money 10 buy
some paying dirt, but they stole this
from Il ncighbOring mine aud hauled n
lot Of it over to dump into their mine,
When several tons Of this paying dirt"
had accumulated in the bottom of thei
mine, the widows We're sent for, anC
while one was talking about the in
croasinG value of the district the other
was dumping out all kinds of lead and
zinc ore before their aStOniShed eyes.
The widows bought half interest in
that hole in the ground for 81 soc. The
NcXt day there was no more ore in the
shaft, and the fellows declared they
would dig no longer. Then the widows
bought the other half interest 1T total
cost Of $1,000, and the men hiked out
for Missouri, laughing in their sleeves
But the women, hlindly believing that
there must be more ore, continued
with the digging and at depth of ten
additional feet struck the richest vein
of the whole belt, realizing $4,000 in
less than one years time.-Kansas City
Journal.
