BEING A ROCK SHARP THE FAD.
"Mlnlne Men" Who Don t Know Col
From Quarlzite.
One of the rich men of Cortland who is
Interisted in eastern Oregon mines was
in camp a few days since. He says It is
now quite the fad among all ilissesand
conditions ot men In the Webfoot metrop
olis to affect a knowledge or mining and .1
familiarity with ores that you can't
throw a brickbat on one of the business
streets without hilling a rnj sharp.
A week or Miago while drilling a well
on a piece of laud which he owns near
that town, a narrow strata of half formed
coal was encountered. A young nephew
of his who has heard much mining talk of
late, noticed some of the stuff th.it was
brought to the surface, and came to him
with several samples, very much excited,
' thinking that he had found a bonaua
' right at Inline.

I hey all agreed th it it was very hue ore,
that he was the "luckiest dog" 011 the
list, but ditfered in their opinions as to the
proper method of treatment to extract the

And not one of them offered to buy a
basket of wine when the truth was re
