Iter of miners have made feeble of-
furtK to dig into the hill,
gave up the work K'fore
hut nil
finding
what thev were in search of. It
! remained for S. 11. Haislev, the well
known discoverer of the Haisley
Klkhorti mine and several other
paying proortics iu the vicinity, to
Imd out what Lnreiiter lull, as the
j divide is called, is made of. lie,
too, stisscted that the hill contain
. ed hidden treasures, ess'cially as
. the placer mines on either side nro
among the best in Kastcrn Oregon,
and with his usual iKrseverance and
indomitable pluck lie dug in. lie
had sunk tho shaft but twelve feet
when he struck a veiuofg.ihl itinrU
that surprised him. After taking
out two tons of this oro he milled it
and yestorday ho came to Portland
with a gold brick that represents
J'.Ti'J .S.S. This was taken out of the
two tons of ore.
Mr. Haislev naturally thinks he
has made tho richest strike that has
Ik'oii made for yenrs, anil he will nt
onco proceed to cross-cut mo enure
lull. I he iitseovery created con
siderable excitement in tho vicinity,

had their eyes on the hill now feci

There Is a shadow on tho old man'o
life of which f.'w of Id fricn I hniv
uuy Idea. It was cast way la.'U In the
war I line. Ill home had hecu a station
on the "underground railway," and to
hi homo one bleak night cuini'it bright

witiiil, chlih'r little chap that the
kind-hearted (Jitalier concluded to hoop
him to run errand ami do chores about

One day the (Juahcr went on a railway
Journey and took the little colored hid

nnd you give mo only ilUolx-dleinv and

Just Is-fore thov reached the tunnel
he rose and said, gravely: "Ciiw.ir, I
