Means Employed to Deceive
Unwary Spectators.

(From the Saturday Evening Post)
Probably the most picturesque achieve
ment in mine-saiting ever put through
on the American continent was that upon
which a celebrated mine in northern
Mexico changed hands. The fame of this
find reached the ears of group of men
in San Francisco-men who had made
fortunes in mining and would have re-
scented the insinuation that they could
be caught by any of the tricks of the
trade. They were experienced prospect
ors and operators and some of them at
least had themselves handled the pick
and shovel and washed out many a pan
of pay dirt on grub stake Aasis. These
capitalists sent several hi oily capable
experts down to make thorough inves-
tigation. Realizing the responsibility of
their mission and being thoroughly capa-
BILE and conscientious in their profession
the experts carried out their instructions
to the letter. They took out the samples
with their own hands, put them in small
canvas sacks brought for the purpose and
sealed the sacks with private seals Each
expert worked individually and never al
lowed his sample to be handled for a
moment by any person other than him
self.
The mine was located in the interior
and the nearest assay office was on the
coast. Not only was the journey to the
latter long, tedious and difficult but also
very dangerous as the mountains were
infested with bandits WHO asked no better
prey than a company Of mining capitalists
from the states. The samples were bur-
densome ana the responsibility Of keep
Ing "a close surveillance upon them was
not desirable.
An Adroit swindIe.
Al these considerations moved the eK-
perts 90 decide that they would DO their
oWn aasayinW ID the mill connected with
the mine. Permission 20 do fhls was OBJ
inlned from tho manager ~ the mill. and

Milwaukee, Wis. Sept. 18.-Gradually
the veil of mystery surrounding Gov.
La Toilette, who has been confined to
his home by illness for nearly three
months, is being lifted. through the per-
sistence of men who have determined
to set at rest all doubt and dispose of
some of the terrible rumors. Catarrhal
gastritis of the stomach, liver trouble,
and other complaints. including hem
orrhoids. and the alleged necessity Of
an operation at no distant day, IL his
strength improves. are the serious
things that combine to make the con-
dition of Gov. La Toilette far from
hopeful. He is not in a nervous state.
and he takes a hopeful view of his con-
dition, according to a friend of the
family who was admitted to his pres
ence. This person says the governor
may at no distant day be able to visit
the state house. but that it is doubtful.
for he is suffering from a complication
Of diseases that has reduced him to q
mere shadow of what he was a few
months ago. He is still unable to take
solid food into his stomach, and this
condition has prevailed for many
weeks, weakening to such an extent as
to make it almost impossible for him,
with the best OF treatment, to regain
his former strength in a year.

"A GLOWING
AN INDIANA MAN COMPARES WESTERN CANADA
WITH THE UNITED STATE
What Mr. Frank Fisher, q Prominent Dunkard, Has to Say After :
Trip Through Canada.

and there. thereby covering . hundred
and sixty acres.
I have no doubt but that this coun.
try excels as q grazing or ranching
country. because they have such rich
grass, having an abundance of rain to
Keep 1t fresh. They also have plenty
Of water streams, and as a rule water
may be reached at a depth Of from 20
to 40 feet. From this you can see
there can be plenty Of hay mown for
winter feeding, and I have had re-
liable farmers to tell me that their
stock will feed on hay alone, and be
ready for market in the spring. Upon
inquiring about the expense of raising
q steer, a farmer replied that he did
not consider 1t would cost any mor
than 81 or Sc to develop a three-year
old steer.
I truly think Canada offers q me
opening for a young man or a man
who is renting land in Indiana. One
hundred and sixty acres of good black
land will cost you on4y SO at the time
you enter it, and by blowing and cul-
~ttvating five acres each year for three
years, gives you one hundred and sixty
acres Of good land for $40. This land
can be bought from the railroad COM
panies, private corporations or the gov
ernment for So to 81 per acre.
From a financial standpoint, I be.
lieve that for asseries of years (fve)
a young man can make $40 in Canada,
whereas he would only make 81 here.
and I feel sure that / spent more
money to get my eighty acre farm In
White county, Indiana, cultivated than
it would cost me to cultivate eight
hundred acres in Canada. This may
seem a strong view to take Of the
matter, but when. you take into con-
sideration the clearing, ditching. fenc-
ing and the expensive breaking in Of
the stumps. and then compare the ex-
pense to that Of land needing only the
breaking, you will conclude that it is
not such . wild or exaggerated state
ment as you might at first think.
I enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmos-
phere, which was bracing and refresh
ing, and the cool nights which made 1t
so pleasant for sleep.
On making inquiries regarding the
winters. in this country. I learned that
the people W suffer from the cold,
as the weather is dry and invigorat-
ing, and in q great many places farm
ers and herders allow their stock to
run outside the year round.
One great advantage to the settlers
in Western Canada is the free cream
cries established by the government
and run exclusively in the interest
Of the farmer.
I visited Thomas Daley, q farmer
near Edmonton, Alberta. who showed
re oats he had raised, some Of which
took the hrst prize at the Paris Ex-

10 bushels to the acre in 1899.
