"Iliad read," said the colonel,
as lie was relating some of bis ex -
periences in China, "that if a per-
ton fell into tho water no one could
pull him out, holding that his full
ing In was a decree of Providence
that must not be interfered with,
"One day, on one of of the canals
I stumbled and went overbord,and
although there were twelve boat
men, not one of thtm could extend
me it band. After a clone shave
aslconnot swim, I got aboard
again, and us soon as I recovered
my breath I yelled at the bos
boatman:
"You Infernal scoundrel, why
didn't you help me out?"
"It was your fate- to fall in," he
calmly replied.
"And it's your fate to take a good
I eking!" I a d as I went for him.
"When I had finished him off 1
took another, and I was jupt polish
ing off my lifth victim wheu the
i-ixlli man halted me to say; ,
" There seems to bo a mistake
here. We are taught that if a per
son falls into tlie water he must
nave himself, or drown, but we are
not taught that if he does save him
self he is at liberty to lick half of
China in revenge."
"I thought his point well taken,"
laughed the colonel, and I stopped
my score at live and went down to
change into dry clothe."

of the pioneers of Lane county, Ujetl
at his home in Eugene, Hiunlay af

Ware wan born in Columbia coun

his boyhood days and received his
education.! InlK52 he joined a

K. C. Penland, a local mining
man, rturned the other day from a
visit to the Oold Hill district in
Southern Oregon, where he went to
inspect the Crystal Springs claim.
It is not much moro than a mere
prospect and he was miking un
examination of it for other parties.
Among the samples of ore which ;
he brought back' was one somewhat'
out of tho ordinary. It contained
both galena und gold, a combina-l
tion which is but rarelv found. One:
portion of the rock was pure silver!
, . , ,l-i ..' ., i
and feed, while the opposite side(
was ireeiy imprcgnatea Willi small j
particjes of gold. 1
Mr. Penland did not remain long
enough iu thu district to visit any
of the leading properties, but while
at Gold Hill he heard an interes
ting tory regarding the founding
(and growth of that lively camp I
jThe first ground worked there nome
j 20 yearn ago yielded an immense
fortune in a very few months. Out
of an excavation 20 feet deep, IS
inches wide and 40 feet in length
$.'150,000 in gold was taken, h.ince
the name of the camp, Gold Hill.
It proved to is; a pocket,' however,
and no amount of prospecting has
ever been sufficient to secure the
continuation of the vein,
When the pocket had become ex
hausted the claim was soid for a
good pri e to a local mining cha
racter in that vicinity known as
"Quartz" Smith. He spentseveral
thousand dollars without success to!
rediscover the lost vein. Finally I
a !-'an Francisco clorivoyant wrote
him that for a certain consider
ation she would direct him ' in
which way to drift to strike the lost
vein. He implied that he did not
need her assistance, having fully
decided that tie was up against it
and that the property was perfectly
valueless, a month or so later a
San Francisco man showed up and
offered him $2,500 lo; the claim.
He jumped at it and the transit
of the ownership' of the proi erty
was at once made. ' It later deve
loped fhat tlie new owner had been
a victim of the carivovant and he
went broke acting upon her sugges
tions, for wii.ch he paid high, in
search of the vein that has never
been located. ' - .
