plain, and wads of hair scraped off
here and there against rocks and
fallen logs helped them keep the trail.
1t led along and down a steep preci-
pice that they had difficulty in de-
scending.
Finally, after entering the canyon
and following it some distance, they
saw the burro, standing immovable
on tn side of a hill and gazing abb
sently. The men stole cautiously for
ward, expecting a chase.
But the burro remained like a
statue.
When the pair reached the ami.
mails side, they found that he was
standing on an outcropping mineral
vein, while he was gazing at the spot
where shortly afterward was found
another outcropping of glistening
galena.
AT the place where the burro stood,
the Bunker Hill mine was located
Kellogg's name being signed as dis
coverer and O'Rourke's as witness.
After talking the matter over, the
two men concluded that if Kellogg
was named as discoverer, Cooper &
Peck might claim a share on the
ground that their burro was part of
the outfit. and that therefore Kellogg
was still in grub-stake partnership
with them. Consequently, the next
morning the original notice was torn
down and O'Rourkes name substitute
ed as discoverer.
Returning to Murray the pros
pectors showed their samples, and a
stampede started-but nobody knew
where the mine was O'Rourke con-
tided in Dutch jake Goetz and Con-
Sullivan, however. and the latter two
located the Sullivan mine at the point
at which the burro had been graz
ing the day he stood on the Bunker
Hill lode.
After many discouragements, the
property was sold for $500, 900.
Cooper & Peck sued for an interest in
the mine, on the ground that the
burro they had furnished in grub
stalking was the real discoverer of the
bonanza. Judge Henry Buck, of the
district court of Idaho, at Murray,
affirmed their claim. In his decision,
he said:
This court is of the opinion that
the Bunker Hill mine was discovered
by the jackass, Phil O'Rourke and N.
s. Kellogg, and as the jackass is the
property of the plaintiffs, Cooper
Peck, they are entitled to half in
terest in the Bunker Hill and a quar-
ter interest in the Sullivan claims
''The mines are now worth $4,000
000."

trout leaped and multiplied in rushing

these haunts of game were scanned

the outfit was the burro. kellogg

but an assayer told Cooper & Peck
that this mineral was of insufficient
value to be worth any trouble in that
country and as a consequence. the
partnership was dissolved.
kellogg, however, was not willing
to give up. He showed his samples to
