BURRO DISCOVERS
RICH BONANZA

The story of how a donkey was de-
clared by a learned Judge of the Su-
preme Court to have discovered the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine, now
worth SIS, 900, 900, and thereby caused
the Court to award his master a third
interest in the mine was recalled last
week by the death of o. 0. Peck,
owner Of the donkey, at his home in
this city, says the Spokane Dispatch.
Though the story is stranger than
fiction, it is literally true, and the facts
are familiar, not only to all miners and
business men in this territory, but can
be substantiated by the court records.
Peck and w. M. Kellogg were prospect
ing together through the Occur d'Alene
mountains, in Central Idaho, when the
mine was discovered. Two weeks prior
to the actual discovery they dissolved
partnership, But Kellogg retained g
donkey that belonged to Peck. Kel.
logg appropriated the donkey, used il
al a pack animal, and they were to
gether when the great mineral deposit
was found. According to the Supreme
Court, the donkey's participation in the
discovery entitled Peck to an interest,
Harry Baer and Jacob Goetz, of this
city, who had ''~grubstaked" Kellogg,
shared the latter's interest, and he
thus Jared more poorly than Peck,
Goetz and Baer subsequently sold Their
fractional interest for 5000, 900.
Judge Norman Buck Of the Idaho
Court rendered the famous opinion.
He held:
From the evidence of witnesses,
this court is of the opinion that the
Bunker Hill mine was discovered by
Phil O'Rourke, W. M. Kellogg and

The yalcaIda Looking Good

Work is going ahead rapidly on
the Frank claim of the Valcalda Mining
company. Fifty men are now at work
on the company's property and three
tunnels have been driven in. Tunnel
No. / is now in 230 feet on a ledge that
is 8 feet broad on the surface and gives
average values of from $50 to $40. No.
2 tunnel is now in $50 feet on a 200-foot
tense. The ore averages 500 and in
places runs as high as $3.50. No. 8
tunnel, which is being driven in on a
ledge 500 feet away across the gulch, is
now in 90 feet and discloses $40 ore.
Twenty men are now at work on the 6
miles of piping that are to bring in the
water to the mine, and it is expected
that the water will be flowing in
steadily by the middle of September.
Several carloads of lumber have been
brought in for the erection of a trans
forming house, an assay Office, a stamp
mill and cottages for the men. The
mill will be equipped with a complete
cyaniding plant and will be capable Of
treating so tons per day. A com
pressor, which will furnish the motive
power for 5 drills, will also be installed
in the near future.

LOST MINES
OF OREGON
Return Of the Prairie City Expe-
ditiOn in Search Of the Lost
Blue Bucket DiggingS

The return of the Prairie City expedi-
ton in search of the lost Blue Bucket
dipgings of John Day county, at the
head of which was Will Reese, a we'll
known miner who was in the city yes
terday, says a Baker City dispatch to
the Mining Record, recalls the stories
of other famous lost mines in that
region. The Blue Bucket diggings are
still INDICATED, for the Prairie City
party could not find them, although
they found some good mining country.
Another of the unauthentic lost mines
ranking almost with the Blue Bucket
diggings is that of the Tin Bucket, Ore
CONS prize lost mine. 1t is a story
that has come down from the palmy
Hudson Bay days, and is still believed
in by many. Some say that the loca-
ton IS in the Cornucopia country, along
the Snake river, and others say it is on
the Idaho side. But it has defied relo-
cation for two generations. The story
is that a miner, getting lost in the
woods, located a placer bed of fabulous
richness in the bottom of a stream.
He had a tin bucket that he was carry
ing for water, and when he made the
find he loaded himself up with as many
nuggets as he could carry and hung the
bucket on the limb of a tree near the
spot, expecting to return for it. He
got back to settlements, and refitting
started out to find the placer, but either
the bucket had been picked up by some
Indian or there was something wrong
with the landmarks, for he was never
able to get back to the spot. Some
contend that the Sparta placers are the
lost Tin Bucket grounds, but others
will not concede this and are still look
ing for an old decayed tin bucket filled
with gold nuggets lying at the base of
a tree somewhere through the Cornu-
copia and adjacent mountains.
Contemporaneous with the lost Tin
Bucket mine and the Blue Bucket dig
gings is the lost Lingard mine of South
ern Oregon, near the California line.
Here a miner became lost in the woods,
and reaching q beautiful lake he stopped
to drink. When he bent over to the
water he was startled to notice that
the bed of the lake was covered with
nuggets, He returned to the settle
ments, and securing IN outfit returned
to the rich find. But during his alb
enc a drenching downpour Of rain
had fallen and when he returned to
what he thought was the lake of gold
he could find no nuggets at all; nothing
but mud covered the bottom of the
lake,
Almost as interesting as the stories
of the lost mines of Oregon is the
story of the wreck of the Brother JON
athan, a United States cruiser which
sailed up the Oregon coast during the
Civil War with about $500 in gold
on board to pay off the soldiers. This
ship was wrecked off one Of the rocky
points and went down with all aboard.
Periennially divers come from all parts
of the world to search for the lost ship
and its treasures. A few years age
a ships bucket bearing the name
Brother Jonathan" on its side was
picked up on the Oregon coast. and
this started anew the search for the
wrecked ship.

PADEREWSKPS SELLBOY.
Musical Youth Made a Hit with the
Great Pianist by Playing
His "Minuet."

Rosamond Johnson, Of Cole & John
son, composers of that once popular
song, Under the Bamboo Tree" once
held a position as bellboy in Young's
hotel in Boston. This place, says Sue
cess Magazine, he once nearly lost,
through taking the liberty of playing
Paderewski's 'Minuet" for the great
pianist. Paderewski, who was stay
ing at that hotel, had rung for bell
boy, and young Johnson answered the
call.
Being so fond of music, he made
bold to ask the great composer and
pianist to play the "Minuet" for him.
Paderewski could not understand Eng
lish then, and the boy thought from
his gesticulations that he wished him
to play it. So he sat down at the
piano and commenced playing. Pad
erewskis manager happened to enter
the room just then, and, enragsd at
the bellboy's presumption, threw him
out of the room and went directly to
the management and had him dis
charged.
AS soon as he learned what had
been done, Paderewski, who had been
pleased with the lads playing, sent
for the manager of the hotel and had
Johnson reinstated in his position.
