OLD" Blue BUCKET"
STORY REVIVED.

History records the fact that gold
was first discovered on the Pacific
Coast by John Marshall, at Suffers
Mil. In what IL now Ell Dorado
county, California, In l848.
As matter Of fact, gold was found
by an old emigrant train on the old
Steve Meek's cutoff, IN Crook OF
Harney county, In eastern Oregon,
between the Malheur and Deschutes
rivers in 1855. This fact can be yet
sufficiently attested by living wit.
Desses.
In giving my version Of the Blue
Bucket diggings, AZ they are fami-
liariy called, / will explain how It
came to NE sod by whom. My
grandfather and bis family were In
the wagon train that broke the trail
afterward known AZ Meek's cut of.
My father was at that time a boy
fourteen years Of age. He told me
the full particulars In q different
country, having removed from Oregon
In 1869. II was not the train he
was In that found the gold. but the
one following them, and he repeated
to me from memory the story az told
ut the time. being unmixed with the
version Of modern years.
The train encamped on q small
stream somewhere along the rim Of
Harney basin, there being hills to
the northward aud the level stretch
Of the desert to the south. A freshet
had sluioed out the Rulch leaving
the bedrock bare. A lady passing
over this bare bedrock picked up
some yellow pieces Of metal and
came into camp, carrying II In her
apron aud calling attention to II.
No one seemed to know what II was
and when asked how much OF the
metal she could have picked up had
she wished. she pointed to a wooden
water bucket painted blue and
replied she thought she could have
picked up the bucket full In a little
while; hence the name given this
lost mine, "the Blue Bucket DiRa-
ings."
Tho suggestion made BY someone
that It might be gold brought the
wise mon to the fore. He 10 ever

them Tho had evidently forgotten that
II was the alloy In the coin that gave
Il the ''rinR'O. He forthwith
hammered . piece out nat on the
wsaon tire aud tested II for the ring.
Az II would not ring. he promptly
pronounced II brass, (he had also
evidently forgotten that brass was not
u specific metal, but composition)
hence sometime called the Wagon
Tire DiRRinRs.
some Of this Rlod found its way
into the Willamette valley. being
preserved ~ curios, but II WAS not
until later the discover Of gold IN
that those people knew
what they had found and lost upon the
old immigrant trail.
The old blue Bucket has never

The Turk and Life Insurance..


One man was complaining that he
mad insured twenty years before in
mutual benefit company which prom
Used all sorts Of things, and now the
time was up he received less than he
would have done If he had invested his
money elsewhere. A wise Turk who
WAS sitting close by said it reminded
him Of camel belonging to friend of
his. 1t was a most intelligent brute,
and the owner was convinced that If
he found really good teacher it could
be taught to talk. Presently Hodga
appeared who said he was of the same
opinion and would teach 1t, but it
would take long time, probably thirty
years. The owner was delighted and
agreed to pay the Hodga a fixed sum
per annum and big bonus when the
animal talked, the Hodga promising to
pay heavy fine If it did not. A friend
afterward went to the Hodga and said:
What on earth induced you to make
that agreement? You know you eau
never teach the camel to talk" "Oh,"
said the Hodga, II know that, but dur
ing the thirty years either 1 shall
die or the owner will or the camel.
Anyhow, l am all right, as have my
fixed income."-New York Commercial
Advertiser.
