AN ELUSIVE BONANZA

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."

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

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.

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.
