And Then Staked His Provisions on
a Game of Cards.
How SEVENTH Pete GuIch, n Rich
Montana Mining District, Got
It's Name-COmmemOFa
Unique Card Duel.

The report of the consummation of
a large mining deal in Seven-up Pete
Gulch last week reminds me Of what
was probably the most remarkable
game of seven-up ever played in the
state of Montana" said an old-time
miner to a New York sun correspond
ent.
Peter Sharf was n the early days a
well-knOwn mining man. Prosperity
did not agree with him, however. That
is, money burned in his pockets. He
appeared never to be satisfied with
sheer money, no matter what the
amount. He wanted action all the
time. In other words, he was an in
veterate gambler.
HE had some placer claims in the
Bla ekfoot country north of Helena,
ard after his cleanup had come to
town, exchanging his dust for cash,
and started out TO buck the tiger,
after having taken the precautiOn TO
purchase a supply of provisions.
He had quite a run of luck, and at
one time was several thousand dol
lars ahead. After an intermittent sit
ting of a week or ten days, however,
he went fiat broke. and hitching up his
team to the wagonload Of provisions,
departed for his mountain home, to
wash out another fortune.
ARRIVING at the main divide or
crest of the Rockies. Pete met another
miner en- route to town, whose season
had been less fortunate than his. He
had in fact just about enough dust to
pay for the next years provisions.
Exchanging a few casual remarks
during which this fact was brought
out, Pete's mania for gambling led
him to make the pF position that as
they were both in about the same
financial condition they play a game
of seven-up to see which one should

The Vegetable Beefsteak.

The notion. long held. that the
mushroom presented the composition
of animal flesh is rudely shattered. In
one regard, at any rate. the mushroom
does resemble a beefSteak-it contains
practically the same amount of water.
This fact. as ascertained by recent
analyses. hardly iustifes the mush-
room being regarded as a vegetable
beefsteak" 1t may be a blow to the
vegetarian. but he would have to con-
sumo at least ten pounds of mush-
rooms in order to gain the equivalent
of little over pound of prime beef
Still. the tender mushroom is undoubt-
edly easily digestible, and il contains
an unusual proportion Of potassium
salts Few will deny that the nush-
room is an excellent adjunct to many
dishes; it has an appetizing favor and
this quality alone makes it dietetically
valuable

TALKED TO VARSITY MEN.
c. E. Allen Addresses University
Students on Mine Making

Former Representative in Congress
Clarence Z. Allen addressed the En-
cheering society of the University of
Utah yesterday upon The Making and
Developing Of a Mine The lecture
was given in the chapel room. which
was filed with engineers and other
students. OF the faculty there were
present Professors Lyman, Merrill,
Stewart, Marshall and Roylance. and
instructors Arnoldson and McGhie,
The talk itself proved very inter
esting and instructive, and was illus
trated by models of materials used in
mine building. The speaker spoke more
directly of the Centennial Eureka, and
outlined the history of the develop
ment of this dividend-payer of which
he is manager. He discussed the gen
eral formations of the vicinity, told
how the shaft was constructed, and
went into detail as to the chairs at
each level, the guides in the shaft and
the logging. He discussed the economy
OF equipping a mine with proper ma
chinery that does not need to be over
worked, and that causes waste of fuel.
Mr.. Allen spoke also Of the construc-
ton of the various levels, the making
of the grade upon these, the building
of stulls and sQUaresets, and the tag
ging of each. Lastly, he spoke of the
building of chutes and the taking Of
ore from the mine.
The speaker was heartily greeted
with the department yell, and at the
close of his talk was extended the
thanks of the society and given nine
'rahs

DENIES THE CHARGE
W. F. Patterson Says He Always
Provided Well for His Wife
and Children.

There was an interesting scene IN
Judge Halls court yesterday afternoon
incident TO an order to show cause in
the separate maintenance case of Lille
Patterson VS.. w. T. Patterson. Mrs.
Patterson filed her suit about ten days
ago. alleging that her husband had
failed for several months past to prop
erly support her and their children,
and asking fOC a decree of separate
maintenance with alimony. She also
asked for temporary alimony, court
costs and counsel fees, and Patterson
was directed TO appear yesterday TO
show cause why he should not pay the
same.
He was present. but in some manner
was overlooked until he took a hand
in the proceedings upon his own mo-
ton. Mrs. Patterson had testified that
she had received nothing from her
husband during the past month, al
though he was receiving $50 per month
from the street car company, and
Judge Hall made an order directing
Patterson to pay his wife $50 per
month as temporary alimony and $25
for attorneys fees.
At this juncture Patterson introduced
himself to the court, and asked if he
might be heard. The court replied in
the dllIUldllNE anu 1dllClSOn DlOCCCU-
ed. He opened by declaring that he
had always supported his wife to the
best of his ability and substantiated
the declaration by exhibiting a number
of receipts for payments recently made.
He declared further that While working
for the street car company his wife
had frequently failed to send his break
fast to him and that he either had to
eat up town or go hungry.
AS to the temporary alimOny, Pat
teTson said that he had no objection
to paying it, but he preferred to have
it so arranged that il should only be
paid out for necessaries.
IF it is paid to her." he added, cit
won't last her fifteen minutes"
The court, however, declined to
change the order. When Patterson was
ready to leave the court room he said
to the two little boys who had accom-
panied his wife:
DO you want to go with me, boys?"
They did, and went with him. Pat
tersOn registered a vigorous protest
against paying an attorney fee.
L have always given my wife all
the money 1 could spare" he said, and
1 don't see now why l should have to
pay an attorney to help make me do
something that I am perfectly willing
TO do"

Refuses to Tell Any More About the
Prowse murder.

Refuses to Tell Any More About the
Prowse murder.
A consultation was held by Attorneys
Garwood and Wanless yesterday with
the condemned prisoner, James ynch,
and it was expected that the meeting
would result in a second affidavit from
Lynch, telling all he knew about the
Sheep Ranch hold-up, but the prisoner
refused 10 make any further state
ments about the case for the present
Lynch says he has told enough about
the affair to clear King and he does
not want to give any more information
that would incriminate those associ-
ated with him in the affair until he
feels that it is time to do so.
Those who expected to get the af-
fidavit were considerably disappointed
it is stated, because of the reticence of
Lynch, but they declare that he is will
ing and will clear the whole matter
up as soon as some more important
evidence which they are after can be
secured. The attorneys and .authori-
ties are active in their efforts to secure
further information and they are ex-'
pecting some important DEVELOPMENTS
within very short time.
The motion for new trial was not
made yesterday and Attorney GarwOod
stated that the course to be pursued in
this matter would probably be TO al
low the appeal to come up before the
supreme court at the spring session
and ask for it's dismissal A motion
viii then be filed in the district court
for new trial and there will be no
question as to the jurisdiction of that
court over the matter.

CITY CREEK WATER PURE.
Chemist Harms Pronounces It Free
From Objectionable Qualities.

The water furnished to the people OF
this city. at least that coming from
the City Greek canyon source of sup
ply, is of excellent purity. This is the
deduction Of City Chemist Harms. who
reported yesterday the results Of one
of his periodical analyses of the water
supplied through the pipe system.
Sore time ago the chemists analysis
of the water supplied from Parley's
canyon showed that it was only slight
" inferior in quality to the City creek
flow
According TO Chemist Harms analy-
sis OF a sample Of water taken from the
inflow at the brick tank in City Creek
canyon last Friday afternoon, it con-
tanned 1928 grains of solids per gallon.
This percentage is below the normal.
and the solids are harmless non-metaI-
lie mineral substances in solution. A
tTitie over one grain Of chlorine per
gallon was found. corresponding with
1.749 of a grain of sodium chloride
From a sanitary standpoint, the sam
pie of water contained .03 of a part of
free ammonia per million parts. and
,02 of a part Of albuminOid ammonia.

New Trial Refused.

Judge Stewart held a short session
of court yesterday morning, the most
important matter passed upon being
the overruling of the motion for new
trial in the Van Alstine will case. The
contest of the will came before Judge
Stewart some weeks ago, and a jury
returned a verdict that Charles Van
Alstine, the maker of the instrument
in question, was not of sound and dis
posing mind at the time. The motion
for a new trial was upon the usual
grounds, such as insufficiency of the
evidence, errors in the instructions 10
the jury. etc. but Judge Stewart did
not consider any of them well taken.
An appeal will now be taken to the
supreme court. In the will in question
Van Alstine had left $4,000 to a sister.
and the remainder of the estate, valued
at about $4,000. to his two children,
who are living with their mother, who
had been divorced from Van Alstine.
