Origin OF These Terms.

Wildcat Pud high grading are terms
that have been accepted III the language
of mining. The first is not new, it is
probably forty years old, having orignat-
ed i'll connection with reckless banking
inst before the civil war when one
particular uank, organized under loose
state laws, bocame notorious. On the
notes OF this bank there was the figure
g! wildcat or felis catus. II became
a synonym Tor reckless promotion. In
4 Australia, us Ia well known, rabbits are
Il pest, except i'll western Australia,
where they 90 not exist. Tho desert
has served as Il barrier. During the
boom days ten years ago it used to be
said thai the West Australian wildcats
had prevented the rabbits from invading
the country from the eastern colonies.
From wildcat" we have obtained wild
%catter,' Il dealer IN feline finance. The
other term, -Iigh-gradIng," ~nrG'Dated
we believe at Cripple Creek. IL refers
70 the stealing OF rich ore. At Gold
field and Cobalt it has become ii familiar
word, and indicates the prevulence VI u
form of petit; larceny most demOrhl!z-
ing to honest WORK. Both wIl--calling'
and ~nigh-srat!mg' refer to criminal
! ofFeuses and 1t Is curious how such
slang terms by their false suggestion Of
humor are calculated to glozs the
essential wrong Of the acts they de
ecribed. Graft" seems a humorous vari.
alton OF "theft." wildcats are swiDdlee,
