1880. On Christmas Eve night we
brats were some time fools enough to
want to set up all night and watch
the COWS pray, for the old fogies told
us that all the cattle knelt down on
their knees on that night in honor to
Him whose birth place was among
horn cattle, donkeys and swaddling
clothes. There is true sign in that
old legend it is a sign that all the
fools are not dead. We did not flourish
the "Helle Bo Rus Niger" Christmas
rose, then as now, in our botanical
gardens, and hot houses, we had all
kinds of Christmas yarns told, mostly
by the old black 'aunties, - while we
would drink them down for future
reference.
And right here I must say that the
negro race beats the world for such
superstitions, and the southern peo-
pie owe a great deal of their slang
and superstition to the negro nurses,
being put i'll charge of the little
''rebs'' in their early childhood, for
with a child the words of "Aunt
Hannah Dizzy or Hagar, were like
tho laws of the sMedes and Per-
slams, - Interchangeable, and our great
southern mothers in order to be re-
lieved Of the little ''bawling cubs'
would put them under bad influence
frequently The tale telling is
now done through special Christmas
numbers of various periodicals, and
children's S papers, and when from a
pure source it is much better Oc-
casionally some of the boys would
come home from "camp" and bring
us few rounds of cartridges. We
would draw out the leaden balls into
small "slugs'' and lput them i'll the
army musket, or Enfields, and shoot
game. Some times the game was in
front and some times behind, for
you never knew swhat was going to
happen when you turn loose one of
those wicked guns, for it was certain
to kick you like buck mule in rye
patch, and it was nothing unusual for
boy to come up with the bell off,
and quarter section of his lip and
nose demoralized, but it was all
through life and we would stick to it
dead or alive. Some times the boys
would bring us some of the soldiers

Ten Per Cent off
Freight Train
Tonnage.

They tell me Supt. Scott OF the Salt
Lake Division is railroad man from
the tips of his shiny shoes to the top OF
his we'll built head, which means tn at
he knows through practical experience
how to lay rail- put in fire, handle a
throttle, and run train.
The headquarters Office man, figuring
from steam pounds and size of cylinder
with some statistics thrown in for good
weight, theories an engine can haul SO
many tons OF freight, and the order is
issued to do it.
The theorist however will have three
trains and three train crews squirming
along the road seventeen hours while the
practical Scott wants two trains and
their crews eight hours on the road
doing the same work, thus saving money
for the company and having more en-
gines to use 10 these days of shortage
in engines He will do it, too, by cut
ting ten per cent off the train tonnage.
1t is the law of the lever. 1t will give
joy to the "tallowpots." -Wadsworth

Tonopah, we discovered that John Me-
Kane. formerly of Rossland and now the
Tonopah representative Of Charles M.
Schwab, was also figuring on the gronnd.'

didn't take us long to get together, and
we agreed to take half interest in it,
while Mr.. McKane. acting for Mr..
Schwab, took the other half. We bond
ed the group of seven claims, which
formed the original discoveries in the
camp. l won't say what the price was,
but it was plenty high enough, and we
made good cash payment, with other
payments to follow quarterly during the
year that the bond runs.

Gold Of such fabulous value as to rival
any camps in America has been found at
Goldfeld, 27 miles from southeast of

Review of Spokane, Washington. Patrick
Clark and Major B. G. Kingsbury of
Spokane have joined with Charles NJ.

Jumbo, the pioneer group OF the new
Golconda.
"In all my mining experience l have
seen nothing to compare at the start
with the new gold properties. Certainly
the surface showing for values is Won

gold. Some samples across the Is foot
ledge ran 5000 to the ton. The shoot
has been exposed in length by several
open cuts, none of them more than
twenty feet Deep
Mr.. Clark has just received advices
from Tonopah, Nevada, to the effect that
his prospect is showing up amazingly
with development.
A single characteristic is the fact that
there is not more than % cents worth OF
silver to 500 worth of gold in the ore.
1t was to secure the Jumbo group
that Mr.. Clark and Major Kingsbury
made their hurried trip three weeks ago
to Tonopah. Their expert, James Har-
