Napoleon was master OF Paris and
the continent, but he was not quite
master of the students of Paris, who
were like other students all over the
town. In 1910 ut the OdeOn when
Lemercier's christopher Colomb" was
being played, the Quarter Latin stu
dents raised riots during the first two
performances to show their disap-
proval of the fact that the unities of
time and place were ~disregarded.
WEereupon the emperor, with whom
Lemercier WAS u favorite, announced
thai he would attend the third per-
Torrance and severely punish anyone
raising u disturbance. He carried
out his intention, and all went smooth
ly until the third act, ~whereupon the
scene was changed to tire deck of Co
lumbus' ship. When the curtain rose
about three-quarters of the audience
donned nightcaps, shut their eyes, and
fell apparently asleep This ON
ical sight set Napoleon laughing, So
his wrath was disarmed-

BLACK HILLS-A writer in

lowing picture of the Black Hills;
Possibly ten mines in the whole
region pay from 5000 to $4,000
per day. The largest amount he
saw taken from one excavation in
a single day was $10S5, which was
the result of the work of seven
men employed by the owners. The
average Deadwood gulch mine will
just pay grub and those that pay
good living wages arc rare. Seven
out of every ten men in the whole
region have no money and no
means of getting any. Placer
mines are all taken up, and no
body dare go out prospecting away
: from the main body on account OF
the Indians. Farming is out o.
! the question. Heavy frost begins
in September; snow storms did not

then the wife was to marry Hale,
get his money and a divorce from
him and remarry Gilman. This
nice little program was carried

the same as it is today. This is I
portion of the paragraph:
During his rambles on Thurs
day, circulating the first number
of the Reflex, John L. Robertson
struck a mar who had in his
possession a number of copies OF
the Inland Empire, the second
paper published in this county
the White Pine News being the
first-and which fourished at
Hamilton in so and 20. Robert
son. during the lifetime OF that
paper, was identified with it as
carrier, etc, at Treasure City, ana
very naturally desired to pack
them off to refresh his memory on
matters pertaining to the "bygone
days of DID," which modest re-
quest was granted, and he snaffled
them, We have been permitted to
glance over a number of these
papers and they are replete with
Incidents pertaining to that stu
pendous mining excitement that
took place in those DAYS of staid
and loose habits. That was an eN-
element the like of which we arr
not destined to Don SCI again. but
If you come down to real merit de-
void of excitement White Pine
mining district cannot be com
pared with this any day in the
week. What has been found here
in the way of mines partakes of
the nature of 4 Comstock, and SO

In the third issue. that of April
&c, this appeared. taken from a cur-
rem number of the White Pine
News:
AS RICH AS EBERHARDT-
The old saying of the ancient
White Piner is about 70 be veri-
fed. In early times when the fa-
mou Eberhardt mine was produc-
ing quantities of the richest silver
ore the present century has pro-
duced, it was common to hear the
hardy miner on Treasure hill
speak of his last strike as being
AS rich as the Eberhardt. Sam Paul
has really developed a body of ore
TO the southwest of the original
Eberhardt mine, which he has own
VI SilltC ~ spi uat' VI Nhit'
Pine, named the keystone. and on
which he has done but assessment
work for the last five years, which
is the same old stuff Mr.. Paul
and his sons are taking out ore
that will work at least $1,000 per
tou. Paul is a mill man and a
practical miner who has con-
stantly been working mines and
mills since White Pine was dis
covered. and for years before in
California. Who knows but the
old times may come again to the
White Pine district? Nothing so
encouraging has happened for some
time as the opening of this body of
ore in the Keystone mine May
C attend you, Samuel.
That year the Black Hills excite.
ment was in its incipiency and it was
drawing miners and other good peo-
pie from Nevada. This did not sci
we'll with tho ones remaining and
having interests here, If the express
sions of Editor Simpson may be taken
as a composite of their views. Yet
he did not refuse to publish favora-
bile news from there. as the follow
ing from the issue of April 10 will
Indicate:
Jack Gilmer, of the firm of Gil
mer and Salisbury, stage men. re-
turned a few days since from a Trip
to the Black Hills. He made a
thorough and careful examination
of the mines and prospects of the
much talked of region, and returns
to us more than pleased with the
country. He says it is the finest
country he eve saw.
Mr.. Gilmer was known to fame
after that as one of the firm, that
pulled the star route swindle. hav-
ing drawn many thousands of dol
lars from the government for mail
contracts on imaginary routes, and
for a daily service on other route
where the service actually rendered
was only once, twice or three times
a week.
