Weyant In Lane county, says the Salem Statesman. The committee was accompanied by C. V. W. Browne, a practical xiaintor, for many years, so that the testimony of an expert might be obtained for Its guidance. Mr. Weyant has several bottles of the paint In its natural state ground up ready for use and It certainly bears every cvijoncc of being the right goods. The paint Is found in snveral strata, the general quality of all being the same, but of different shades of color. Including dark yellow, which is the most plentiful, also medium yellow, old gold, light yellow, gray, dark slate, lead color, golden brown, whit ish gray, yellow BTay and almost white.

He has also some of the paint In small cubes from the natural depos it, all of which is of smooth texture, without grit and capable of being ground or crushed into finest powder. In this It differs In an Important quality from much of the mineral paint found In the wesi. which con tains too much grit and waste to make smooth mixed paint or good filler.

He had several other pieces of fine guoi ore, but I bought this one simply for the pur pose of making a pin out of It. "About eight months ago a buscon brought into Teplsco a mule-load of silver ore, which he sold (or $260 to one of the local ore buyers All ef forts to Induce hjm to reveal the place where he obtained the ore proved of no avail. When he found that he was watched by spies of min ing men he went back on a little corn j and a formidable strike ranch that he- had in the neighbor-: averted. HFNEItAL NEWS !

A careful estimate of the amount of money paid out monthly by the Ton opah railroad nnd tho mining com panies of Tonnpah, shows a total of $119,000, which Is qulto an Item when one considers that the camp Is but hood where he stayed until those watching him got tired. About two months ago he suddenly dlsappeaied and had not again been seen there at the time of my depart ure, two weeks ago. In "my opinion he is again on the hunt mr the mine from which he got the ore. Or.' If ho knows where it Is, he Is taking ore out of It on the quiet, for he sold out all his corn and realized on his other crops at a sacrifice before he- left. "It may be that he Is taking out denouncement papers. Put this I doubt, for an Indian of that country rarely ever does that, for It means the payment of taxes and. Incidental ly, the revealing of the place where the mine Is situated. The Indian about there has been so badly treated and cheated that he Is afraid of every one. and suspicious of even the mining authorities, nnd In this he has been In the right, though now there Is scarcely a district about where he would not meet with" fair treatment. But I have known of many an Indian heins bluffed out of his claims by some mining man with money, and I am sorry to fay that Americans have been among the bluffers.
