Congressman Thomas Fitch, one OF the
best known orators OF the Pacific Coast,
did IL on Friday night at the dinner OF
the Friendly Sons OF ST Patrick. held at
Deimonicos, and did more, for he not
only gor away intact, but his remarks
were fcheered. Mir. Fitch first got his
audience good-humored by. telling them
a number of new stories; then he reused
their patriotism by a really eloquent tFlb-
ute to the men who won the war, and
finally he sprung the Anglo-Saxon broth
erhood on the company with some
suddenness and carried il through tri-
umphantly. After speaking OF some or
the wars results he said:
I'VE have made, and Ireland has made,
and the world has made, another great
gain from this war in the development
which the English people have exhibit
"a along the lines OF fraternity for free
dom and justice. II Is not for me TO
criticise any utterances OF hatred OF
England which a review or her action
toward Ireland in years gone may have
wrung from the lips OF any speaker to-
night but I am an American, and the
toast to which ] respond is The united
States and you, oh sons or St. Patrick
you also are Americans. whose devotion
TO your adopted country no man may
question. Shall l then transgress the
proprieties of the occasion if i say that
while in years gone I have helped to
twist the tail OF the British lion, as II
deserved 10 be twisted for his action con-
corning Ireland, yet l cannot forget that
in the hour of our peril, when France
sneered and l.ussia stood aloof and Ger

aced. and We stood in great danger OF an
alliance OF the great danger OF CONT
mental Europe against us, then from Ire
land. from Scotland, from Wales, from
England the great heart or the people
weUed in sympathy toward us. lAp-
pIause.l Then the British Government
robed itself in the ermine of the High
Chancellor of Nations and outstretched
the strong right arm OF its injunctive
power and said to the waiting conspira-
tors. We forbid you to give aid 10 the
dying despotism of Spain In Its contest
with the United States. We bid you take
instant heed of our injunction. for II you
ally yourselves against the Americans
W.. will ally ourselves with them and

MULE OF
COPPER ~
A Story That Goes to Show
Seeing Things QuickIy@1

'I have had this mule stcry up in my
sleeve for six MONTHS" said the Texan,
who has been associsting with the Mon
tana Old Timer club of Butte for years,
"but have refrained from springing it
because was afraid it would bring down
a storm of rebuke from you. You know
1 can tell you a story, too, and so / will
give you this mule story, and it must be
understood all around that it is the gos-
pei truth and not lie.
"I had been working on the ranges of
Texas for few years and one day l got
tired of the Job and went over to ranch
and asked the boss if he would give me
something easy, and he set me to herd
ing drove of razor back hogs. He gave
me an old mule to ride, and when 1 went
out to bring the mule into the corral to
saddle him 1 found a hard proposition.
The mule was as wild as coyote, and it
appears that the boss had tried him on
dozen or more men with the result that
all of them quit their jobs before they be-
gan. But | was determined to make
stick of the job, so stayed with the mule
until got him tanned SO that could ride
him and drive him. He got so tame that
after white he would come to me when
l called to him. But he would not let
any other man get within hundred feet
of him. One night big gang of rustlers
came along and:stole one hundred head
of horses and mules, and my mule was
among the number. 1 had named him
Pete. The band was driven up here to
Montana and the British possessions and
disposed Of.
81 knocked about Texas and Mexico
for several years, and then struck out
for Butte, intending to learn the mining
business. Instead of going to work at
once, 1 laid around and got acquainted
with the lay of the land and made friends
with some of the miners, all of whom
were crocking good fellows. They urged
me to become miner, but l hesitated
and tried my hand at other jobs. Finally
l asked one of the boys how they man

aged to get to work in a mine, and one
of them said to go up to the mine and
rustic. That word rustic made me shiv-
er, for in Texas man who rustles usual
ly goes with a mob to the nearest tree
and gives correct limitation of man
being hanged. But in Butte they say a
man is rustling when he asks for job.
WORK IN MINE.
"I went up to the mine and asked the
foreman for job and he looked at me
the same as if 1 had been rustling sure
enough, but he told me to come on and
he would put ME to work.
The foreman asked me if could drive
mules, and told him had been a mule
skinner for many years, and he then took
me down the shaft to the I 200 level. He
led the way into drift for about 1000
feet till me came to an upraise from the
800. He said; You go to the bottom
of this hole and you will find MULE
guess 1 started down, and when was
within twenty-five feet of the bottom l
heard snort that made my hair stand on
end, and the place was full of mule heels
and dirt. heard the foreman and the
other men up on the other level laughing
and shouting with delight at something.
The mules eyes were shining like
two balls of fire and sparks were flying
from the top of the drift where his heels
we're striking. Altogether it was a wild
sight and no doubt would have fright
ened me had not known the nature of
the mule family. From force of habit I
sang out Whoa, Petep and the mule
quit kicking. He recognized my voice
and seemed glad to see me. went down
to the level and began to talk to him and
he put his head over my shoulder and
cried. Yes, sir, tears as large as hickory
nuts ran down his cheeks for half an
hour. He knew me. 1t was my long
lost old Mexican Pete. I felt like crying
too, was so glad to see him. Had he
not recognized me, 1 would never have
known him. looked at his front teeth

around, but in the morning found that
he had not eaten any of it, but instead
had eaten the chicken house and the legs
of the grindstone frame and was just then
starting in on the hayrack. So had to
tie him up. His eyesight was not very
good when brought him up out of the
mine, so I got him pair of green glass
es. 1 guess he was the only mule in that
state that wore glasses. His hair began

yet. 1 was offered Sc. 900 for him by
Snowman in Salt Lake City, but would
not sell him for s.. e.ooo,o 900. l have no
idea how old he is, as he looks just about
the same as he did when 1 first got him,
but think he is about sixty-nine or sew
enty years old. He would not drink pure
water after took him to Texas. 1 had
to send to Butte and get some copper ore
and put it in his watering trough. After
that 1 had no trouble with him. 1 was
going to pull his shoes off but found that
about half of his hoofs as we'll as his
shoes had turned into solid copper, so L
had to leave them on. / had a mining
man examine him and he figures that the
whole mule will assay about IS per cent

been able to work in that level since.
They had tried to shoot him and also
tried to blow him up with dynamite, but
they never succeeded. So they thought
it would only be few days till he would
starve to death as there was very little
hay down there. But after the hay was
all gone he started right in to eating the
timbers, and he has them all eaten ex-
cept about half of one post when l found
him. In few days more it would have
been all off with poor old Pete. The boss
told me that there had been over 2,ooo,-
600 feet of lumber on the level but it was
all gone. Pete had eaten it all.
AN EXCEPTIONAL MULE.
THAT night when went up met the
superintendent and he told me if would
take that mule out of the state and prom

l accepted the offer. l took old Pete and
went back to Texas, and he is there yet
and is as gentle as kitten, but had to
keep him tied up to big iron post He
won't eat hay or grass or anything
in that line. 1 had to feed him on cord
wood and fence rails and old railroad ties
and such stuff. The first night after l
took him to Texas l turned him out in
the yard. l thought he would like lit

and, sure enough, there were the initials

them with my jack knife more than thir-
ty years before. But such change in
mule never saw. His hair was more
than two feet long and it was green as
the greenest grass I ever saw, and his
shoes were turned into solid copper and
there was a heavy coating of copper on
his teeth. This was caused from drink
ing SO much copper water.

asked the boss where their harness was.

the harness today, but get shovel and

and guess it will take you all day to

went down again and began to explore
the level. There were thousands of feet
of drifts and cross cuts and not a stick of
timber in any of them, and there were
big caves in great many places and the
rocks were falling all around. 1t did MT
look safe to me, and I went back and
told the boss about it. He asked me if
the timbers were broken down and told
him there was no timber on the level,
and he said was crazy and that the lev
el was all timbered. He gave me rope
and told me to go down and tie the mule
up and to let him know when got him
tied. 1 went down and tied old Pete to
big rock and ,hen shouted to the boss
to come on. He came down and 1 never
saw such a surprised look on a mans
face when he saw there was not stick
of timber on the level. He said: This
takes the cake. 1 know this place was
all timbered, for timbered it myself. 1
know what's the matter now. That GUS
sed mule has eaten the timbers all up.
Then he told me that the mule had been
down in the level for thirteen years and
no one had ever been able to catch him
or kill him. He said the miners used to
jah him with their candlesticks whenever
they were passing him, and this made
him so wicked that he got SO at last that
no one could do anything with him, and
they were going to take him up to the
surface and shoot him, but before they
could do this, one day he broke the rope
he was tied with and he chased every
man out of the place and they had never

cess.
of Treating Base Ores for
Gold.

Among Salem people no little interest
is being taken in the new process OF
treating base ores as now praoticed by
VIM. L. Long in this city, aud at his re-
quest Journal reporter visited his
present laboratory last evening to get
a full account Of the system and also of
the purposes Of the company 80 far as
they apply to Salem.
While Mi. long is naturally somewhat
reticent as to the means employed in his
process, he freely admits that the cen.
trail idea was cleaned from an article
which appeared in The Journal some
weeks since describing the claims OF
Professor Winn whose recent tragic
death effectually put an end to his ex.
periments. Mr.. Longs claims briefly
are that he can procure from any ore,
whether base or free milling, more gold
than can be obtained bv any other
known process. lie does not claim to
make or produce gold by any chemical
com pound, but pimply states that his
method will secure from ore practically
all the gold there IL therein.
In proof OF this he AYERS that out Of
ore which had been run twice through
the Ashland smelter, aud which was
supposed 10 be- entirely barren

to 500 per ton. Out OF ore from the
santiam he has secured good results AMI
