GOLD T00THED SHEEP.
They Led to the Discovery of q Rich
Placer Mine.

"You'd not think that a bunch of
coyotes and IA flock of sheep would
ever discover one of the best placers
in the far west" said the mining
broker. "But they did.
"You see, it is this way. Cattle
are very poor eaters of grass, leav-
ing it long and ragged. Horses can
follow cattle and get enough to eat
out of short grass the cattle would
starve on. And sheep crop the very
closest of all. eating the grass right
down to the roots.
"Well, sir, there was Il Mexican
herder-Pedro Cortina. ! think his
name was-and he used to take his
sheep into a big valley in the noun
tains of California. where there was
the very finest grass. His flock grew
and prospered, and then the cattle
men wanted the valley. They tried
to drive Cortina away, but couldn't.
Finally they decided that a good
sheepman could only be made the
same way a good Indian could be
made, so they raided the big valley
one day, killed Cortina and killed
off all the sheep they could find,
leaving them there on the ground.
$50 soon as the grass was grown
the cattlemen turned in their herds,
and the cowboys camped in the val
ley to tend the cattle. One of the
cowboys kicked a skull one day, and
a strange CLEAN caught his eye on
the jawbone of the sheep. He
stopped and looked at it closely.
Every tooth had a thick rim of gold
around it, crammed tightly between
the sharp little cropping teeth at
the front of the jaw. The gold was
a solid mass, soldering all the rings
together, as it were.
''This mar got the gold fever and
started from skull to skull, picking
the gold out with the sharp point
of his knife blade till he had col
lected quite a pile of dust and little
nuggets of fine gold. Then he be-
gan to wonder where the gold came
from.
Gle began to see light after a
few days of thinking and decided
hat the sheep had cropped up dirt
from the grass roots and that the
pure gold particles had stuck to-
gethcr under the pressure of chew
ing the cropped grass and had
worked up just under the gums
of the animals mouths, where it
was more or less protected against
being worn off by the grit from
other grazing done by the flock.
Pure gold, you know" said the
broker, 'is perfectly soft, like lead,
and it doesn't corrode. A very
slight pressure will weld pure gold
particles together fairly strongly.
The Mexican's sheep had been do
ing a little mining without know
ing it.
"The upshot of the whole affair
was that the cattle watcher and his
assistant tried panning out along
the little stream that ran down
the valley, and they struck the very
finest kind of pay dirt, cleaning up
800 to $3.50 a day.
"One of them wandered out to
the nearest town for a drunk with
his dust. He talked a little too
much, and his dust excited sus-
picion, so a couple of men trailed
him back to the valley in the noun
tains. A regular stampede started
for the EIdorado, and in about five
days the peaceful valley was alive
with miners, and their tents dotted
it from one end to the other. This
all took place some years ago, and
the placer is worked out now

One of the greatest annoyances with
which a modern hotel has TO contend is

leading Salt Lake hotels yesterday. I'VE
are constantly having trouble with a
growing class Of people who register

One old time hotel proprietor declared
the other day that he estimated that
the six largest obstetrics IN this city
lose close TO $500 annually by letting
dead beats get away without settling
their accounts. Consequently, hotel
clerks make il a point TO study the
guests and some of them are good phys
iogomists. When their suspicious are
aroused, the guests who is the object
thereof. undergOes a pretty thorough ex
animation, although ne may never get

takes, but IL has been found that pre-
cautlonary measures are always advis-

pears that some of them are unusually

hotels are conducted under the Amer

practice is where two come together
