IIihv n Tenderfoot Accidentally Rl?toovered T1:!n Wonderful CnnU of (<otil istul Wliy Sic Uldu't Mnjoy the ISichucKK Thereof. Tho.v wort? tolling mining stories in the courthouse, aud Dee Reese, the lawyer, asked: "Did you ever hear of the lost lode of the (lore range?" The other lawyers sitting around tiiin said they had never heard of it and then waited for him to begin. Mr. Reese borrowed a fresh chew of tobacco and told this story: "Hundreds of experienced and Inexperienced minors as woII have spont a great doal of time and money looking for the lost lodo of tlie (lore range, and tlio.v are searching for it yet. This famous mine was found and lost in the fall of 1S1M5. A party of men from Iowa visited Koutt county, Colo., in tlie fall of lS'Jb on a hunting and (ishing trip. The party made its headquarters at Steamboat Springs. In the latter part of October the party moved up and went into camp on Iloek creek, in the (lore range of mountains, which runs through northern Colorado. One of the party was a druggist, who had gone on the trip for his health, lie kuew nothing of mining, lie had been warned by an old miner before lie left Iowa not to be fooled, as many a tenderfoot bad been, by what is known as Tool's gold,' or iron pyrites. So this druggist paid no attention to the rocks, hut attcuded strictly to iiis hunting and fishing. "One afternoon while hunting for deer lie started a line buck and lired at him and wounded him. The buck fell, but got up and ran before the druggist could get to him. Where lie fell was a pool of blood, which showed that he was badly wounded. The hunter trailed hjm by the blood spots on the dead leaves and grass for a mile and there found where the buck bail lain down and then risinir bad irono 011 asrain. In this way tin; chase continued until sundown, and thoti tlie hunter, who was exhausted, sat dowu on an outcropping ledge of rocks to rest. "In tlie enthusiasni of the chase he had not noted which way lie traveled, and ho realized that he was lost in the heavily timbered mountains, with night coming on. lie knew it would lie useless to try and lind the camp that night, so he gathered a pile of dead limhs and kindled a lire against the ledge of rocks and laid down with his feet to the blaze and prepared to sleep. While lying there he noticed the rocks sparkled in the firelight. lie got up and examined it. supposing it was tlie 'fool's gold' he had been warned against, lint the rock looked so pretty that he broke off several pieces and [Hit them in the pocket of his limiting coat, intending to carry tliein hack to Iowa with him as curiosities. "The next day ho wandered ail the forenoon, and then found the Gore pass road over the range and followed it to the camp. That very afternoon a regular mountain snowstorm hegan, and the party broke camp, returned to Steamboat Springs and l'rom there went cast. "The druggist, whose name I have forgotten, staid in Denver for a few day:; on his way to his l;o:::e ia Iowa. I:i the lohby cf a liotel in Denver the talk ('.rifted t > mining, and the druggist mentioned the specimens of stone he had found and was taking home. An old miner never misses a chance to examine a specimen and in this group in the liotel lohby was an old prospector. lie asked to he shown the specimens. The druggist went to his room, lished up the old hunting coat from the bottom of his trunk and took out the piece of stone. The miner examined it closely and exclaimed: " 'Man. that's the richest specimen of gold bearing quartz I have ever seen]' ' The druggist thought at fast that lie was being joked with, hut at last the old miner induced liim to take the specimens to I>u:lingame. the host assayor in Denver, f'.urlingame assayed a piece of tiie quartz and reported that it yielded gold at the rate of #I7,I>0() to tlse ton. The druggist was not satislied. He submitted another piece of the quartz to another expert assnyer and got a report that it yielded gold at the rate of .Sl.1,000 to the ton. "The druggist returned at once to Steamboat Springs, hut there was snow in Ilie mountains. lie went hack to Iowa and returned to the CJore range tut' next spring nnil lias spent every summer since then looking for the lost lode, nud others have searched for it, too, but no trace of it lias been found." ?Knusas City Star. tVeiKtiliiR I lie Ilnlij-. The weighing of Infants, a part of the routine in children's hospitals and of the greatest value as an indicator of health or disease, is unfortunately not so common as it should he in private families. Dr. Craham. discussing a paper by I)r. (Irillith at the Philadelphia Pediatric society, says. "The rule that ft child has double it.} birth weight at the fifth month and triple tit from the twelfth to the fourteenth month makes ft very good and useful working record." Don't lie Selflxli. Don't live for yourself, and do not he afraid of diminishing your own happiness l>y promoting that of others. lie who labors wholly for the benefit of others, and. as it were, forgets himself, Is far happier than the man who makes himself the sole object of all hi? affections and exertions.

" METHOD SUGGESTED FOR STATE CF TENNESSEE. iunnnoe of Bonds mid Collection of Kond Tax In Jloiiqy?AVlml Poor Bonds CoM I'urriicru?Dully Miilln and Free, Delivery. i lion. C. L. Cooper, in n paper on "Good Roads," rend before the farmers' institute at Shelbyvllle. after showing tliat the present system of roadmakincr in vogue in Tennessee Is produetive of no permanent^results beyond the expenditure of large sums of money. says: Rut how are we to have better roads? 1*J bulletin No. 1. Issued in !St)4 by (Jener al Stoii". special agent in charge of roatl inquiry in tl*o United States. the road laws of quite n number of states are {liven, the most of tlieut enacted within the last decade. A striking similarity exists ainoi:s the more radical of these. The lending fe.itr.res ot these laws are the election of road commissioners atul a civil engineer for each county, authority to issue bonds ami to borrow money, the collection of al! read taxes in money and the abolition of road overseer, v.hile ail of them are not incorporated in any one law unless it he that of New York. Our present law imitates them only to the extent of providing for the election of a county commissioner. Were ail the conditions propitious?and this includes good government. both state and u".tion.nl?the issuance of bonds under the.act already alluded to far mad improvement would result in a speedier neer.nplixhment of the desired purpose tlia.i any other method I can conceive of. All ev.r main thoroughfares should be macadamized. But can it bo done? ; 1 believe it can.. An nroused and enlightened public sentiment is wanted. To illustrate: Suppose that the 410 toHot* nf pmkIu Si) I T i??1 <*#?? /1 ( otitiie u*<nan converted into pikes at a cost of $400,tH'O ami per cent 2n year Bonds were issued ami sold to pay for tken. what ] would he our annual Interest charge? Twenty thousand dollars. What would we have to show for it? A county system of roads unsurpassed In America. But what (lid we pay In 18S9? Twenty thousand two hundred and ninety-four dollars and sixty-eight cents. What did we have to show ' as a result of the expenditure? The ' same old mud roads, hut little Improved. Estimating the taxable property of the county at !?."?,000.<XM), a tax of I , mills, or two-tlfths of 1 per cent on the dollar, would pay the annual interest. But suppose we should undertake this hy installments, say one-quarter, or . 11 <) miles at a time, that would reduce the cost to opc-qunrtcr of the ahove calculation. Or suppose we would undertake to pike cue-half, or 220 miles of our roads, aud these the most Important and leadlug to our trade centers. Icaviug the other half to he looked after hy the ollk-ial of the hest general road law. we can get them and in that event our annual interest charge would he $10,000 u year, which could lie discharged hy n road tax levy of 2 mills on the dollar of our present property, to say nothing of its incrcased value or of the influx of capital that would he sure to seek investment in so desirable a locality. What is said above is applicable to all the surrounding counties, and I may say to the entire state, Hamilton county In east and Shelby county In west Tennessee being examples. This law is simply a permit to each county, hy authority of a two-thirds vote of the entire vote of the county, to Issue la nds to the extent of 5 per cent of ail the taxable property for the purpose of Improving its roads in any manner the people jnay think best or desire. As said above, it might be an Improvement in the law to amend it so as to reijnire a majority vote instead of two-thirds. Thi^s is democratic and Would certainly make the law more a * a liable. I have uo moans of knowing, neither will the limits of this paper permit in:1 to more than allude to the losses the farmers of Ftedford eounty have sustained for the lack of better transportation facilities. These are const-sat. I am sure, however, that the losses on timber alone in the last two years would amount to a very considerable part of the money necessary to make a system of good roads. A farmer's products are worth to him the market price minus the transportation to market. (load roads would reduce this expense and convert the reduction into profit. The hotter tho transportation facilities, the faster do cities ami trade centers Increase In wealth. The same Is true of railroads. The better the roads, the greater the stimulus to production and the greater the amount of freight furnished them to handle. K;>. from a financial standpoint, I can conceive oi' no interest that would not lie benefited socially, educationally and religiously. The benefit to the country people would Ik* incalculable. Tin* lido | would clump*. The drift would he to tlie country instead of to the towtiH and cities. Daily malls and free delivery would soon follow. Prosperity would nbouutl. and peace, contentment and happiness, as a bonison. would rest on all (lie people. This is a subject In which we are all Interested. It embraces both profit and pleasure.
