PARKER MOUNTAIN.

"A nall interest In the SenSa-
tional discovery of a year ago on
Parker Mountain, 25 miles west
of Challis, Idaho, has been coax
ed into this state, its possessors
none other than Clarence E. AL
len, general superintendent OF
the mines of the United States;
Andrew Mayberry, who exercis-
es a general supervision over its
Bingham systems, and G. G.
Goss, well-known commercial
sales agent who has contributed
not a little to the prospecting of
Utah diggings. The deal by
which the half interest in the
discovery was acquired was con-
sumated recently on a dispatch
from Mr.. Goss, who is now upon
the ground. That the purchas-
ers, said Mr.. Mayberry, did not
acquire the whole, was that the
owners, the heirs of Edwin Will
liams.. the original locator, refus-
ed positively to part with it. It
was in August, 1904, that the
location was made by Williams.
Continuing his work up to the
hours that the harbingers of a
rough winter began to rage, he
returned to Challis, bringing
with him ores of the most sensa-
tional value. The whereabouts
of his discovery was a secret,
shared with no soul, however,
outside of those within his own
threshold. Last spring he start
ed on his journey back to the dis
covery. On the trail he was
overcome and died. Death was
attributed to heart failure. His
sons took up the unfinished work
and, after such locations as they
desired, uncovered their tracks.
The rush followed, as did the
usual number of locations, some
of the float with which the pros
pectors returned showing as
much as 81, 800 in gold and 75O
silver per ton.
AT the Parker claim, said Mr..
Mayberry, they found a fssure'I
ten feet between walls, an aver
age of its entire filling showing
as much as $58 per ton in gold
and silver. In this, however, is
exposed two feet of ore which
from $1OO to 1920 in
gold, and from 30 to 500 ounces
silver per ton. 1t is ore of this
class which is now being sacked,
and of which a consignment will
arrive at the valley furnaces be-
fore the close of the month. In
the development of the ledge a
shaft is being dropped from

tunnel is being driven, Mr.. Goss

rounding country is still the
scene of much prospecting and
mining in the way of develop.
ment work. Prospectors are
outtitting nearly every day in
Challis for the new Eldorado.
And prospectors are returning
to have their ores sampled. The
future of the district looks very
bright, indeed.
Did you hear about the scan.
dal that shocked the heavens on
Monday evening, Aug. IA?
Luna, the fair orb that dis
penses silvery beams to this ter
restial sphere while Old Sol is
mapping, faded from view for a
short time on that evening and
nearly caused a panic in the
armament by her disappearance.
Whittier she went is not known,
but at any rate Miss Moon was
almost totally obscured from view
for nearly an hour, and but for
the perseverance of the Dog star
she might have never returned.
1t was whispered about on high
that evening that Luna had
eloped with a strange man that
has been keeping company with
her for a long time. Venus, how
ever, when seen Monday eve-
ming, denied the report and
branded it as star gossip. Sat
urn was having trouble with four
unruly satellites and refused to
be interviewed. Jupiter was out
looking for some stray thunder
bolts and could not be found.
Mars was somewhere between
Mukden and Valdivostok and
sent word that he would not be
back until after the peace confer
ence. Tiny Uranus wouldn't
venture an opinion, and Neptune
said he had moons of his own
and didn't care to mix in any
family troubles.
But despite the strict silence
maintained by the heavenly bod
les, it is a fact that the fair Luna
was absent for a time and the
man in the moon was with her.
The couple were seen to cross
milky way, pause to take a drink
out of the big dipper, and then
disappear in the direction of the
North star. For a while it was
feared that she had met with
foul play, and Jobs Coffin was
sent for, but the Dog star went
in pursuit and finally overlook
the fleeing couple and brought
them back. At least this is the
story told by the Pleiades sis,

TO those who knew him as were the
many political move he has made.
He had been deputy clerk in the AS.

in the State Department under John
Bigelow. Secretary of the State com.
mittee and a shining light in the con.
yention that nominated Tilden. He
could have had almost any political
office he wanted in 1876, and yet in
1887 he dropped everything to become
the legislative reporter of the Albany
Argus.

to him, alluding to his change.

manner, 81 think that is perhaps true,

One Of the best points in Lamont's
character during his early career was
the entire absence of anything like
consequentiality or display.
One day during Governor Robin
sons administration Lamont, then
about 20 years old. strolled into the
Assembly and took his usual seat
among the reporters. It was then
about IL o'clock. He worked stead.
lily until nearly l, when he turned to
one Of his co.workers and said: 81
say, h. I have a little business
of a personal character to attend to
to-day. l wish that you would look
out for the Argus for me VIII your"
"All right" was the reply.
About 2 O'Clock that afternoon the
man who had promised to do his work
met Lamont hurrying toward the rail-
road station with a bag In his hand.
Hello, Dan! You're a nice fellow"
he cried. T thought! you told me
you had some personal business in
town"
well that's all right" rejolned La
mont without relaxing his sprinting
gait. 'It's out of town, you see. I'll
be back tomorrow"
At $3.50 Lamont left Albany; at s
o'clock he was in New York; at 8 he
had delivered to Hubert o. Thompson
his commission as sheriff, and short.
ly after midnight he was one of the
party that broke into the sherif's
office at the City Hall and took pos
session of It.
When the deposed Sheriff (Gumble-
ton of the Kelly ring) arrived the next
morning he received his deposition
papers from Lamont. The afternoon
of the same day at 2 o'clock-almost
before the news was known in the
street-Lamont was back at his work
in the Legislature as pleasantly unas-
suming, but also as uncommunicative
as before. The only direct way in
