AN OLD MINER'S STORY.
Greenhorn's
Experience
Jaan Cat.
With a Don
The Greenhorn, Dec. 23, 1897.
Editor Chronicle:
Sincejmy last effusion the Old Miner
baa mcde me another visit. He is a
quaint old fellow this Old Miner. His
form is erect, his eyes bright, and he
' has, despite bis 70 years, a sturdy inde
pendence about him that is simply
charming. He is a bit prosy, a trifle
tiresome in his retrospection, bat that
is because what be tells me and what
be sees as he gazes into the fading em
bers of life's dying fire are two very dif
ferent things. He shows me the skele
ton of by-gone days, bat to him it is
still clothed in the flesh. I showed him
the Chronicle with the story of "How
the Greenhorn Got Its Name,'' and he
laughed a deep, hearty laugh that shook
bis sides, made his eyes moist, and end
ed with a sigh. "I remember that
idjut," said be, "housed to oil bia drill
to make it cut easy ; but that other fel
low, I knew him too. He told me be
got a letter from that girl every week,
and that they were the light of bia life
I saw four of them. But then he's
dead."
"bay! Did you know that the old
miners used to think the Garden of
Eden was located here? No? Well you
.see, some old Missourian came out here
with a Bible in his pack, and he told
the boys about the four rivers that ran
out of the garden, and then one of them
he gits to figuring that Powder river
flowed to the north, Burnt river to the
east, one fork of the John Day to the
west and another to the north, and then
he-says, 'There you are.' I never took
much stock in the story, and then, be
sides, its a poor coautry for snakes and
some kinds of apples. And then there
ain't no fig leaves nor any of them tropic
fixins like that; and besides this ain't
no country for none of them airy cos
tooms, not even in August. If God had
made the first man to fit this country,
He would have made his feet ten feet
. long for snow-shoons. He would sure."
'"This eame old Missourian he figured
f it -out mat breenhorn was also the
TYl nnnlnin (tint Ua A 1 4 1. O
up to offer Him all the gold dust and
placer ground from Seven Devils to John
Day. I've forgot how he had it fixed
up, but it was all right. At any rate
this Missourian be said that when the
two climbed up old Greenhorn, the
j ;i ti i ...
hydraulics over at Robinson ville and
i Dixie Creek, and the big placers around
v Canyon City. And this Pike county
TBible sharp he says that when old
forked-tail offered the whole business
and a lot more to the Savior if be would
fall down and worship him, that there
was an Israelite who was in the mercan
tile business down in Canyon City loaf
ing up on the summit and overheard
the whole conversation. This Missou
rian, be says that this Israelite twigged
the devil a wink and got bim to one
side, and he says: 'Say, mister, I'll
take you up on that lay-out if the other
fellow don't.' "
1
"This Missourian never told whether
the trade was made, but I dealt with
one ot them Canyon City Hebrews after
wards for a long time and I don't think
he was the fellow. If he charged other
people like he did me for his goods, be
had a better thing."
.cut enougn 01 tne uia Miner lor a
lime, because I want to tell you about
our cat. A couple of homeless mice
concluded to stay with us for the winter,
and the first night chewed up Hill's
genuine German socks to make them
selves a bed. That made Hill mad, and
be borrowed a cat at the Don Juan,
a sort .of a Don Juan cat, too, and
brought him home in a barley sack.
When the sack was opened the cat be
gan to make things sing. He made i
rush at the window to get out, fell tail
foremost onto a cup full of quicksilver
upsetting it, raised merry Cain generally
for half an hour, and then climbed into
the rafters, where be raised up his
feline voicd in a manner that was soul
harrowing. At the end of ' thirty-six
hours, by leaving the doors open, we
got him out, and he acted as though he
- was reconciled. The next night being
. cold, we worked two hours, coaxinsr.
' wheeddling and - persuading the poor
"pretty kitty" back into the bouse. It I
took two . fit us four hours to get the
d d ' cat; out atter he was in three
days. About 3 o'clock every night for
three -nights his alarm clock would go
off, and the nay he would call on all to
get up was a caution. Five of u? would
chase tke blamed brute from that hour
until daylight trying to put bim out',
but it was no go. Praise heaven! be
has not come back, and if he bas gone to
gladden the heart of some other poor
miner with Christmas presence, our
blessing goes with him. It will be seen
from this that not only where mines are
concerned, but in judging the qualities
and conditions of cats, a man may b

Natural Hot Wat.
Dr. E. H. Marshall, of Boise, Idaho,
Bays that in the vicinity of Boise there is
a store of subterranean hot water which
is being1 used to heat that city, and
with excellent results. The water was
discovered about six years ago, and
when first tapped gushed to a height of
40 feet and almost scalded to death the
workmen who were boring' an artesian
well. The water was found at a depth
of about 400 feet, and has natural pres
sure enough to raise it to the top floors
of ordinary buildings, whence it will
flow down through coils of radiators,
heating the whole building. The water
is said to have a temperature of 170 de
grees Fahrenheit, and a company has
been formed for piping the streets and
supplying the hot water for beating
purposes. It is claimed that a saving of
50 per cent, can be effected over the
ordinary method of heating. There is a
large area of ground near the city where
the hot water spouts above the surface
when tapped, and a number of well
drillers are at work endeavoring to en
large the area. Butte Inter-Mountain.
Indian Aarrlcaltnrtata.
The Indians on the Shoshone reserva
tion have to the present time this sea
son sown 125,000 pounds of grain, and
it is expected they will sow as much
more before the close of the planting
season. The department is not giving
the seed to the Indians this year as
heretofore, but is loaning it, and ex
pects the Indians to repay it when they
harvest their crops. The pupils of the
Indian school are farming extensively
under the direction of the Indian agent,
Capt. Wilson, and the teachers of the
school. They have put out 12,000 cab
bage plants, and have a model garden.
A test will be made on the farm with
sugar-beet seed, the department having
furnished a large quantity for experi
ment. Under the present management
of Indian affairs the Indians of the
Shoshone reservation are improving
rapidly in condition, and the majority
of the tribe will soon become self-supporting.
Great interest is being taken
by the Indians in school work, and the
agency school is having a very success

THE NEW JUDGE'S TRIALS. !
Ha Did Well on the Bench But Missed
His Latin. . -,.
Some years ago one of the laymen
who find places on- the bench, of the
highest court of New Jersey, thanks to
political influence and accommodating
governors, was a builder or contractor
living in the northern part of the state,
a man notoriously ignorant of law and
unfitted for any judicial position, says
the New York Post. Not long after his
appointment a judge of a federal court
who knew the man met him, and, with
rather an amused smile, asked:
'Well, judge, how do you get along
on the bench?
'Oh," was the reply, "I get along very
well. You see, I have been on the grand
jury a good deal and so bad picked up
considerable about law. But, judge,'
he went on rather earnestly, "I find I've
got to study Latin."
Indeed! That's rather a serious busi
ness for a man of your age to take up.
i3 it not?"
"Yes, but I've got to do it. You see,
there are so many words I don't under
stand. Now, look here, what do they
mean when they say laches?"
He pronounced the word "latches,"
and as he spoke he made a motion with
his index finger as of a man lifting a
latch. , ' -
The future course of the judge's study
of Latin is not recorded.
