1t was gone in two years, and l 'aven't
'ad any where like that much since.
"As said, in '55 I was prospecting
in the southern part of the state
of California. There lad been some
gold discovered in that locality, and as
soon as the news leaked out there was
great rush made from all over the
state. 1 was among those that went.
There was mining camp there,
ing out in q shack or under q tent on
his own claim. L suppose there were
fifty or sixty claims staked out within
a stones throw. 1t was q pretty lone
ly life, and ard one. Placer min

strange how some men are lucky and
some are not. There were some of
the boys who we're washing out any

the old timers by that time, having
been out two or three years, always
seemed to be the most unlucky, aud
the tenderfeet, who had never seen

we're always fortunate.
"Along about that time [ threw

what was our surprise 'owever to
see that tenderfoot coming back in
about five or six days. We could see
i'm for long ways and'e was carrying
something in is pan.

saying that the tenderfoot 'ad pan

add that 1t might be mica, and so they
would talk. All the time the tender

was tenderfoot from the east, and l
saw all OF the boys winking at each

to be some fun. Thestranger was dressed

shirt and a piece of ribbon around his
neck. e 'sd an outfi. too. is pan

e walked right up among the men
working along the banks of the creek,
and every body stopped in 'is work to
take q look at i'm.
e stopped in front of a terrible
large miner named Jansen, a Scandin =
avian, and asked very polite: Can
any of you gentlemen tell me where
there is some gold?'
"The boy knew they were going to
ave some fun with that tenderfoot.
They told him all sorts OF ridiculous
stories about gold and bears and rat
tlesnakes, and he stood and took it ell
in. But when he epquired after q
place where 'e could find some gold, it
was too much, and the boys laughed,
got out of anything for a long time.
e asked the question so full of gravity
and with suoh q straight face that we
we're all convulsed.
eve all laid off work right away,
and started in to ave some fun with
that tenderfoot. E was going to start
in and locate a claim around where
we we're, but Jansen said, Look ERE
young man, look right ever there. DE-
you see that bluff? Well do you see
that shelf about 'alf way up? 'He
pointed off about six miles to the
mountain. You could zee the bluff
and the shelf plain enough, and the
tenderfoot said that e could make Il
out.
"Well,' said Jansen. right up OF
that shelf is some OF the finest gold il
the state, and if you go up there
know you IL get all you want
THE tenderfoot thanked US all very
polite and picked up is pan and iii

Tenderfoot blew ito the camp,
Swinging a bran new pan;
Rugged all out in Sunday clothes,
Wearing gloves and dainty hose,
Catches a rumor, away he goes,
Swinging bran new pan.
Left the di2gings along the creek,
Swinging a bran new pan.
Didn't know it was ali a hoax,
That tales of gold were only jokes.
But started off chuck full of hopes,
Swinging a bran new pan.
Wandered back in a week or two,
Loaded down with gold
Gold in Jumps and gold in dust,
- Gold that was dirty and covered with
rust.
The miners stopped laughing and cussed

Suit Against the Road.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 11.-Attorney Cen
eral Smythe has filed suit in the Douglas
county district court against the Union
Pacific railroad, wherein it is charged
that the defendant company has violated
the regulations made by the state board
of transportation relative to freight
tariff on live stock shipments.
In November, 1887, the state board of
transportation made an order directing
the railroads of Nebraska to restore car
load rates on shipments of live stock and
forbidding them to charge rates per 100
pounds on such shipments. This order
was accepted by the roads until last
month Evidence showing such viola
ton by the Union Pacific was submitted
by the board, n upon this showing that
official began suit in the name of the
state to recover the statutory penalty,
which is not less than $500 nor more than
5000 for each offense. This suit is for
the maximum penalty,

bands of Yaqui Indians have become

100 Indians boldly rode into the corral
and stampeded over 200 horses belonging
to the troops. The Indians afterward
captured the animals for their. own use.
1t is almost impossible to get supplies
to the troops. owing to the Yaquis' guer-
rilla tactics. General Torres men are
living on the country. and there are
times e they must suffer severely
for lack of food. Americans who have
come from the Yaaui country say the
troops have made no Roadway toward
