DEVELOPMENT OF MINES.
Some Curious Things Happen to the
PrOspectOrs in Their Search
for Gold.

Many curious things happen in the
development of gold mines. It fire.
quently occurs that mine which one
Gay promises to make it's owners rich
in short time, may on the next day
dash their expectations to the ground
by the sudden and unexpected "pinch-
ing out" of the "vein." A case in point
is what is known as the Carr strike"
in the Black hills.
When the Carr brothers made their
rich find" near Custer last May, it was
heralded far and near as one of the
most wonderful strikes ever made in
the Black hills. Some Custer men
formed syndicate and made an offer
to the Cars, which was refused; the
owners of the famous Holy Terror mine
which is the greatest small gold mine
in the United States-offered to put up
a mill, develop the property, and work
it on shares. This proposition, too, was
refused. Within few weeks after the
discovery Mr.. Sidney, of Custer, secured
a bond on it for something like $10O,OO0
and, with sackful of specimens likely
to turn the head of an experienced min
ing man, started east to raise the
money for properly developing. the
mine.
While he was gone the spot where the
rich specimens had been taken out was
filled up with dirt and country rock,
and lie Compile, one of the owners,
camped in tent at the foot of the
hill and guarded the mine day and
night. At that time the vein had been
traced distance of about 400 feet along
the side of the hill and had an average
width of between three and four feet.
In one place small open cut had been
made, and there the vein widened from
I few inches at the top until the whole
bottom of the shaft was in rich ore.
There was every indication that the
vein extended down and held its val
ues. For some one of the many rea-
sons familiar to promoters, Sidney
failed to secure money in the east and
forfeited his bond.
Then bond was given to some OF

ance companies.
Unacquainted as he was with wine,
Stanton was forced to admit that it
was a wonderful product. Before he
realized what he was doing, he had
lighted a fresh cigar and made him self
comfortable in one of Raymond's up
holstered arm-chairs.
It seemed but moment later when
he opened his eyes with start and
confused chagrin at the conviction that
he had actually dropped asleep while
Raymond was talking; but his eyes
once open rested full upon Sam, who
was laying his morning mail upon his
dressing case. and over Sans shoulder
upon the clock, which declared that it
was after ten.
Six days out of seven Stanton entered
his Office on the stroke of nine, and this
was not the seventh day.
Seeing that Sam had noticed his open
eyes, he simply. remarked: II am
ready for my bath, SAM" but when
the man went out to prepare it, the
young lawyer rose slowly and stood
looking into his own face in the mirror,
as though he might learn from it some
thing which he very much wished to
know.
Society" he muttered, in unutter-
able disgust, and began slowly poking
the letters about that he might read the
postmarks.
It is pleasant to have broad shoulders
upon which to lay the burden of our
shortcomings, even the overloaded
shoulders of society.
One letter attracted his attention,
more from its weight than from the
fact that the handwriting was Miss
Lombard's. It had evidently been de-
livered by messenger. He opened it
mechanically and held in his hand Miss
Lombard's card and their diamond en-
gagement ring-nothing more.
rs it broken, I wonder?" he NUT
tered, slowly turning the ring over, be-
fore it dawned upon him that it was the
engagement, not the ring, which was
obviously the broken thing.
A creature of instinct, following in
stlnct, he stretched himself, yawned,
and went into the bathroom, saying to
himself: ''Thank heaven, there'l be
no more society, no more clubs, no
more wine. for me"
AS Sam was leaving the bathroom,
Stanton turned upon him and asked.
abruptly: "Was l brought home drunk
last night, Sam?"
Too sharp question or command
had always bewildered Sam, and always
would. A man often speaks the truth
when he is bewildered. Sam muttered:
''Ycs, sir,' and then wished he had de-
MED it.
''Did the Lombards bring me home?'
Eyes, sir" said Sam; and, as there
was nothing more, he went out to kick
himself about for the rest of the day.

from the elder Lombard. He half ex-

Thereupon he stopped walking. tried
to stop thinking of that glass of wine,
and, having at last fully made up his
mind about marrying, he expressed it
so plainly to the trustees, the judge and
the clergyman, when they attempted
to renew their effort, and, indeed, to
society at large, that the hint was final
ly taken. He was set down as incorri-
gible, and John Olnstead's will went
out of sight and out of mind.
Stanton realized that the time was
coming when some distant relative OF
his uncle's would appear and claim the
property, and he was quite content that
he should have it.

it's home,' he said, to himself. "But
