FINE SALTING WORK.

Every now and then I see an ar
ticle in the papers or magazines about

Democrat man. "They are mostly the
regulation old stories about loading
shotguns with gold dust and blazing
away into the face of the drift; or
squirting gold solution into the ex-
pert's sample sacks by means of q
hypodermic syringe. Occasionally the
story is varied by doctoring the flux-
Ing In the assay Office, or having the
villain spit tobacco juice casually car
rying q solution of gold into the cru
chile while the expert is looking for
a button, just as if In q moment OF
fcrgetfulness he mistook 1t for a
spittoon. Those stories may amuse
the tenderfoot, but they are chest
nuts to the mining fraternity.

There is no denying the fact that this
woman, whom the police call the
"star drunkard" of the city, has been
attractive. Traces of refinement and

voice which reminds one that some
