fill* Hi MIIERS Some Instances \Vhere Enor-' mous Wealth Was Discovered by Pure Luck. THE RICH TILDEN MINE. Was Found By a California Sheriff While in Pursuit of Two Murderers. The Corona Group of Gold Mine* Accidentally Discovered Bv an Emigrant Yield Enornioui Revenue*— Ihe Finder Sold His Claim for a Few Hundred Dollars—Fatal- ! ity of Discoverers. The stories that gold miners tel! when they are In the mood are as thrilling as a romance. Superstition enters' largely into a majority of the stories one hears about a camptire, but they are generally founded on facts, however wonderful they may seem. The pure luck that attends the finding of enormous wealth is au exhaustless subject for discussion. The rich Tilden mine in Alpine county. Cal., was found in a curious way. Sheriff James AV. Carter and two men had gone over the mountains after two men who had murdered a sheep herder. The region is as lonely as any among the Sierras. The time was March, 1877. The Sheriff and his companions were in the saddle four days, and when they were well up among the mountains the trail of the fugitive murderers became obliterated. They got out of their saddles and made themselves as comfortable for the night as possible in their blankets on the ground. The next morning the trio set about to find some tracks that would give them a clue to the fugitives trail. The Sheriff and his companions went about searching for hours almost on their hands and knees. While thus engaged Sheriff Carter picked up among the manzanita chaparral a piece of live rock. Having been a miner he put the chunk into his pocket, just as he had done before times without number. The search for the trail of the murderers was finally abandoned and the Sheriff ami his assistants went home. A day or two later Sheriff Carter came across the bit of live rock lie had found up among the mountains. He got out a magnifying glass and was astonished to see traces of gold everywhere in it. He started up the mountains immediately, and, employing an experienced prospector, a search that lasted three months was begun for the ledge from which the float rock had been detached. It happened that the very day that the Sheriff ami his companions set out to follow the fugitive murderers was the one on which the Electoral Commission in AVashington decided the Presidential contest against Samuel J. Tilden—March 2, 1877. Sheriff Carter was- an ardent Democrat and he named his mine the Tilden. It was a good gold producer for a dozen years, but the Sheriff never profited much by the tens of thousands of dollars it yielded. He was harassed by lawsuits and in one year he spent $25,000 in law. The Corona group of gold mines on the Colorado River north of Yuma, Ariz., was accidentally discovered by an emigrant going in a prarie schooner with his family to Los Angeles from Texas. These are among the best of so called desert mines in the United States. C. D. Lane, the millionaire gold miner of San Francisco, who gave $75,000 to the Bryan campaign fund in 1890, owns two-thirds of the Corona mines and gets a monthly revenue of $22,000 or $30,000 from them. The Texan, who was named George Harris, camped one night in the fall of 1889 on the west bank of the Colorado River, before starting to cross the sandy waste known as the Colorado desert. He built a tire, and while his wife busied herself with the meal he lay on the ground near the wagon and idly looked at the queer pinkish rock formation close beside him. He thought tlie rock had a trace of golu. but was not sure enough of it to give the matter much study. However, he whacked off a few pieces of rock and threw them into the wagon. A friend who had been in gold camps for years was calling at Harris's home in Los Angeles a few weeks later. The conversation turned to gold and silver mining, and some one happened to speak of the curious rock on the Colorado River. The specimens were bunted up in the back yard and shown the caller. •'These are great specimens of lowgrade ore,” said the caller. The specimens were assayed as refractory ore that ran frow S3O to SSO a ton. George Harris had little faith that the mines would be worth development. and Ye gladly and quickly sold what title he had in them for a few hundred dollars. The property was bought in 1893 for $70,000 and a small fortune was spent in the development of the refractory ledge until it began to pay its way. When it did the returns from the smelters ran up into thousands of dollars. A common topic m groups of gold miners is the fatality ’Aat seems to attach to successful goid miners. The more successful the uiiner the more closely does a grim fate seem to stalk behind him. So many cases of violent death among rich gold miners may be cited, that the superstition seems to have more of a basis of fact behind it than is common with such notions. A volume dealing with superstitious fancies about death gives a long list of miners whose lucky discoveries were soon followed by disaster. "Old Virginny,” the original finder of the Virginia mine of the Comstock lode, was killed by a bucking mule. Bi ’Me. the tinder of the Standard mi-: ,n Cali fornia. died in a snowstorm. Story, a celebrated California discoverer, was Filled by the Indians. Comstock, after letting incalculable wealth slip our of his hands, became almost a pauper and shot himself while on a search after the Lost Cabin in the Big Horn range. Fairweather, the discoverer of Adler Gulch died of exposure and dissipation near the fam >us mines he was the" first to find, and Farrell, who was rhe tinder of Meadow Lake region, died insane in a hospital

BARNEGAT'S QUEER CATS, some Wlih Tails, Sone Without, and AU Expert Ftahers and Hunters. ‘'Speaking of cats,” said Capt. Josh Rentes, keeper of the lighthouse at Sea isle City. N. J., "recalls to mind the time twenty years ago when every day for several years I saw hundreds of the most peculiar cats any man ever looked upon. At that time I was keeper of Barnegat Light, on the upper Jersey coast, and in those days Barnegat was a mighty lonesome spot. There were no pretty summer cottages spread out along the beach as there are nowadays, and our only visitors were the lighthouse inspector and au sceasional sportsman in search of wilil fowl. Much of the island, back to the big sand dunes, adjacent to the beach, was covered with a thick growth of cedar, holly, oak and half a dozen other varieties of trees. "Some years before I went to Barnegat an English brig was wrecked during a ferritic nor’easter on the beach a short distance from the lighthouse. In addition to her crew the ship carried a score or more of Manx cats, which were being carried from the Isle of Man to New York. Nearly all the cats succeeded in reaching the shore. They took to the woods and no effort was ever made to reclaim them. Forawhile these'tailless animals loitered around the lighthouse in search of food, but as the keeper had no liking for so numerous a family of cats he drove them a wav.

When I took charge of the lighthouse the cats had become wild, and while I could approach within a short distance of them, they would not al low themselves to be caught. The woods were full of cats. A number o,' domestic eats were brought from the mainland by members of the life saving crew on the Island, and several of these joined the Manx cats. Tiler* soon were tailless cats, cats witli a half n tail and cats with the regula tion tail. The animals thrived an.i soon became a nuisance. In the thick underbrush of the woods they raised large litters of young ones They found plenty of food by preying on the birds that lived in great num bers in the woods. Rabbits, which were plentiful on the island before the cats were cast ashore, were soon killed or driven away, for they were Do match for their feline antagonists. ‘‘The cats even became expert fisll?rs. I have often watched them a,’ work. In the spring and fall of the fear large schools of fish swim about in the surf and these gave the cats many a feast. As the breakers drove tlie fish upon the beach, into a few inches of water, the cats would rush into tlie surf and. fastening their claws in the sides of tlie half stranded fish, would carry them high up on the Leach and devour them. I have seen dozens of these cats sunning themselves on tb° sand hills. They became so tronbles''me that cat hunting parties became quite popular among the men li-ing on the mainland. Dogs were used in chasing the cats to cover anil the sport was quite exciting. Many cats were killed, but their places ucce soon filled by others. I never saw such ” a culiar eats as I found at Barnegat.” Oft>n'»ive on I’onrfl. “Sometimes the cargoes brought from tlie hot coun+Ges play havoc by fh.e fumes they gi-e forth.” said an old sea captain. one voyage tlie sugar we had aboa’ I made every one sick. Matters finc’.iy became so bad that we could not live below deck. 1 chased a big New'ouncilanil dog out of its kennel aft and used the place ns a berth, while th° crew threw themselves around the deck at the imminent risk of being washed overboard. The cook had to go into the bold occasionaTy for provisions, .and when iv did so lie tied a piece of cloth over his mouth and nose. After several such hurried visits lie was overcome and two other mon. similarly prot 'c* ed went down and secured him with ropes and he was hauled out. Th* hatches could not be bartered down, for fear the cargo would spoil, so wo had to put up the best wo could with the fumes until w~ reached port. "Tlie usually ph-s.ant aroma of cos fee becomes sickening. Indeed, when a man has to sail for weeks itt a ship loaded with the grain. Pine lumber is worse, and petroleum as bad as pine lumber. Yon taste the stuff in everything yon eat. and meat and bread ar* tlie stim.' c o far as your palate is able to distinguish, all savoring strongly of whatever your cargo hanpens to be. “T’nder the influence of tlie tropical sun these fumes g-t to be simnlv terrible. Once we left port with our drinking water in pine casks. AVe had been out only a few days, when the water began to taste resinous, and from <lay to <L'v the taste became more disagrceal-.c- At last we were forced to stop drin”ing altogether and ma’ e for the rn'orn t port, which happened to be in tlie ’’land of St. Helena There we changed the wooden receptacles for others cf n material not so easily affected by the heat. But in the meantime wo had suffered cruelly for our ignorance.” Wh4»n a New :n’.K-wihr Arrives. When a new Ambassador arrives in London he does not feel at liberty to accept any invita'ions until he has been received by ‘lie Queen. If the Queen is at Wind-or or Osborne, tilts audience is granted without delay. If she is in Scotland, or in the south of France, the Ambassador must await her return before making any public engagement*. Etiquette requires him to pay his respects to the sovereign before accepting hospitaucy from her subjects. Au ordinary visit to the Queen is made on what is called a “dine and sleep” invitation from the Lord Steward The new Ambassador takes his predecessors’s letters of recall and his own credentials and presents them to the Queen. He dines at the royal residence as the Queen's guest, and converses with her on the friendly relations of the two countries. After dinner he takes leave of the Queen and retires to his room to write private letters on paper bearing the royal crest. The next morning he breakfasts by himself and is driven in the royal carriage to the station for the Loudon train. After this formality the new Ambassador is the duly accredited representative of his Government, and is at liberty to accept general invitations. When his mission is at an enu almost the last visit which he pays is a similar one for taking leave of the sovereign.

■imi. Postal Thieves Are Ingenious But Few Ever Escape Final Detection. THE SHREWD INSPECTORS Sometimes It Takes Months to Capture a Thief and Sometimes Years. Some Notable Ca*ea Which Were Skill* fully H.iiHileil—One Man Caught by Mean* of Mucilage—Two Surce«sful Methods That Are Used in Detecting Poet-Office Robberies.

“Post office thieves may work undetected for months, perhaps years, but they are sure to be entrapped and punished in the end.” said an old detective of the Post Office Department. “And I may add,” he continued, “that no other thief is harder to catch than the one who robs Uncle Sain's mails. Their methods are ingenious, tlie plunder is easily hidden or destroyed an; their rascality is well masked by the honesty and integrity of associated. • Post Office thieves are not arrested every da/, although valuable letters and other articles are stolen almost daily and an army of shrewd inspect ors are on the alert. Positive proof of guilt must be in the possession of an inspector befoie an arrest is made. In almost every instance arrest means conviction. A Post Office employee never knows when he is being shadowed. Even when not under suspicion of theft he may be watched outside of business hours to see if he is spending more money than «Is salary will permit and if he is galloping witli a fast gang. It sometimes happens that an inspector may not be able to prove his man a thief and the accused is turned loose with a verdict of "not guilty” as his certificate of honesty, but that man is not wanted by the Post Office Department any more. ‘ Years ago,” resumed the inspector, as he tilled his pipe “on one of the old star routes out in New Mexico hundreds of letters containing money, drafts, checks and other valuables were stolen. At first letters and all disappeared, but the thieves changed their mode of operation and simply stole tlie contents, resealing the letters and sending them on. As letters pass through the hands of many clerks it is always difficult to locate the thief. Months' of faithful work resulted in nothing being discovered as to the identity of the thieves, and the rifling of letters continued. "Finally there was a happy solution of the trouble. One of the inspectors procured a quantity of different kinds of drugs and sent other inspectors over the entire route with instructions to make a tour of book investigations, and while tints engaged to place some of one kind of the drugs in the mucilage bottle at eaca office, taking care to make a memorandum which would show at what office the drug had been placed. It was not long before a registered letter came through with tlie money gone. The inspector put his lips to the seal of the envelope, tasted the mutdlage, referred to his book, and at once named the office at which the particular drug had been placed in the mucilage. Then a lor of decoy registered letters went to that office, and the dishonest Postmaster secured the contents and the inspectors secured him. This. I think, was one of the cleverest pieces of work ever done by the department. The inspector who put it into execution was a tine chemist and rnew exactly what kind of drugs to get. "There are hut two successful ways to catch a Post Office thiet—constant watching and decoy letters. A\ ith these and patience the game will be landed, although it often requires months and sometimes years. It is one of the most annoying and difficult lines of detective work a man ever engaged in and requires the most earnest application. Not a single circumstance or detail must be overlooked. Sometimes luck helps its out of c.ur difficulties. I remember once in a city not very far from Washington things were in a fearful state in tlie distribution division of tlie office. It appeared as though we would never catch tlie fellow who was making away with valuable letters. One day there eanie up a ferritic rain ami with this came a happy thought to the Inspector. He carried a bucket of water into the loft and threw it on the overhead plastering just over the dis tributets. Naturally a leak wassprung and a workman, who was taken into the confidence of the inspector, was sent into tlie loft to make an investigation. Accidentally on purpose his foot went through the wet plastering, leaving a hole. “Os course, to repair this it would have been necessary to do the work from the distribution room. and. as this was done, the clerks went ahead with their work, while the inspector looked down at their every movement from tlie supposed accidentally made hole. Finally he was rewarded by seeing one of the oldest employees in the office slipping letters in his pocket. Seeing lie was caught dead to rights, tlie man confessed everything. In court he attempted no defence, save to say that he had been dealing in futures, had had his wings severely clipped, and stole to even up. “A German named Namath gave the inspectors a world of trouble in the same city. Thousands of letters were missed, and goodness only knows how much money stolen. It was a ease which puzzled* the department, and after weeks of the closest investigation it was decided that tlie crooked work was not done in the Post Office. Then an outside campaign was begun. and Namath was arrested while stealing letters from one of the street boxes. He did not have a key. but used a wire for extracting the letters. ni« operations were connned to boxes in the business sections, and he admitted that he had stolen not less than 10.000 letters before he was caught. The amount of money he got could never be ascertaineu, but he must have secured a snug sum. His confession sent him to the penitentiary for i long term.

A Smart Boy. A good story is told of the crown prince cf Germany. Soon after Bismarck’s retirement the emperor and empress were at dinner with their eider children and some eminent statesmen when the prince suddenly broke out with: ‘‘They say. father, that now Prince Bismarck bus gone yen will be able to tell the people to do just what you like all by yourself. You will enjoy that. 1 won’t you Y" “We Need a Licking.** Apropos of the proposed “AngloAmerican alliance,” the story of Horace Greeley’s neat rebuke of the Englishman who once agreed with him too literally may be worth telling. Mr. Greeley was discussing in a general company the faults and needs of his own nation. “What this country needs," said he in his piping voice and Yankee accent, “Is a real good licking." It happened that there was an Englishman present, and he promptly said, with unmistakable English accent: “Quite right, Mr. Greeley, quite right. The country needs a ‘licking.’ ” But Mr. Greeley, without glancing in the Englishman’s direction or seeming to pay any attention to the interruption, went on in the same squeaky tone: “But the trouble is there's no nation that can give it to us!”—Youth’s Companion.,
