go 'Muchacho. Luce’ s experienCe reads
like' a romance.
desert, in the mountains, prospecting
and mining, and had finally, by hard
work and the closest economy managed
to scrape together a few hundred dol-
lars.
One day’on the shores of the Colo-
rado, some twenty miles north of Yu-
ma, he 'met an old Mexican who told
. him of a deserted mine some ten miles
back from the river and seven miles
north of Hedges. Luce’s interest was
aroused, and he visited that mine, to
find there an abandoned twenty-stamp
mill which had pounded away for
many years and finally shut down. He
then learned the story. The mill was
on leased ground. The lessee had mined
the property on shares and had done
fairly well, although the ore was not
entirely free milling. One day the
vein "pinched out.” The mining man
owners refused to put up a. cent to help
him find it again, and, tired of: living
on the,desert, he threw up the whole
business and left.
Luce examined the property and dis-
covered that there was a small moun-
Atain of tailings, the accumulation of
years, piled up behind the mill.‘ He
tested these tailings with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly and
estimated there was over 100,000 tons
of the stuff there. That night he wrote
to the president of the company in New
York city, dffering them 10 cents per
ton for the tailings on a. basis of 100,000
tons. The president read the letter,
looked surprised, and called the direc-
tors together. They read the letter,
looked wise, tapped their foreheads sig-
nificantly, and laughed to each other.
“This poor fellow Luce should be
called ‘goose,’ " said one.
“Desert’s proved too much for him——
probably gone daft,” observed another.
_Not one of them thought those tail-
ings were worth anything, and they
had almost entirely forgotten that old
mine out on the Colorado desert. But
they answered the letter, telling Luce
to go ahead.
This was in April of last year. On
receipt of the letter, Luce immediately
erected a cyanide plant costing him
about $100 of his own and his friends’
money. Then he hired fifteen Mexicans
and Indians and began work on those
failings. The other day some represen-
tatives of the mine company were re-
turning from San Francisco, and, pass-
ing through the desert, thought they
would visit the mine. '
“Are are you?” said Luce. “Glad to
see you. By the way, we might as well
fix up our little account now as at any
time,” and so saying he threw the as-
tonished Gorhamites a check for $10,000.
Then he explained that in the nine
months he had been running the cyanic
plant he had cleaned up $45,000 and that
there was plenty of tailing in sight to
net him $200,000 within three years.—

IN OLD VIRGINA DAYS.
The Courtesy and Disciplinel Maintained
by a Majoulomo.
In an old history of Chief Justice
Marshall there is an anecdote which
gives a significant hint of the discipline
to which young people were'subject in
that earlier day. ’
Several of the great jurist’s nieces
were in the habit of visiting him, and
as they were young and attractive, the
house became a rendezvous for the
leading young men of the city during
the afternoons. Judge Mars-hall’s black
majordomo, old Uncle Joseph, held a
tight reign upon theSe visitors. Every
day at 4 o’clock he would appear at the
door of the drawing room in spotless
livery and with a profound bow would
announce: '
“Ladies, his honor, the Chief Justice,
has retired to his room to prepare for
dinner.”
“Gentlemen, dinner will be served at
half-past 4 o’clock. It is now 4. His
honor would be pleased if you will re-
main, and covers have been laid for you
at the table. If you cannot remain, will
you permit the young ladies to retire
to prepare for the meal?”
The gentlemen usually took their
leave, and the ladies retired in an ill
humor; but any remons'trances with
Joseph was only answered by: “It is
the rule of the house. Young folks must
be kept within bounds.”
In virginla houses of the better class,
notwithstanding their almost boundless
hospitality, the calls of young men in
that day were strictly held within lim—
it. No one was received as a visitor to
a girl unless his antecedents and char-
acter were well known to her parents.
If his visit was prolonged until after
10 o’clock, the invitation to family
prayers was given. If he seemed likely
to become an habitue of the house, and
so to engage the thoughts, and perhaps
in time the affection, of the young girl
who was its chief treasure, her father
quietly asked the purport of his vis—
its, and, if he had none other than his
amusement. courteously requested him
to discontinue his call.——Youth’s Com-
panion. -
Hal-(l on the “’liite Man.
”Many years ago,” says Whipple, of
Minnesota, “I was holding a service
near an Indian village camp. My things
were scattered about in the lodge, and
when I was going out I asked the
chief if it was safe to leave them there
while I went to the village to hold a
service. ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘perfectly safe.
There is not a white .man within one
hundred miles!’ ”
“I thoughtyou said it was a case of
love at first sight?”
“I did, but she soon got her second
sight and weakened on me. ’——Detroit

AGE OF COLLEGESTUDENTS.
Bone Figures Given Recently by the Pros-
ident of Dartmouth.
Some interesting figures regarding
the average age of students entering
college were given by President Tuck-
er of Dartmouth in a recent talk. In
in 1810 to a trifle less than 18. In 1820
it had risen to 18 plus, in 1840 to 19 and
in 1850 to 19 plus, where it has‘since re-
mained so far as the recOrds have been
consulted. What is most surprising is
the high average for the early period.
Requirements for admission to the
leading colleges a century ago were of
course far below what they are now,
audit seems to be a fact that most
graduates then who later attained
great distinction entered college at
ages not known now. Thus Webster
and Choate entered Dartmouth when
less than 15 years old, and George
Ticknor when only about 12 years old.
John‘ Trumbull, the poet, passed his
examination for Yale when only 7
years old, though he did not enter the
college for some time afterward. He
was a prodigy, however, and his period
was half a century earlier than that-
of Ticknor and Choate. Nevertheless,
cases of entering college at 12 and 14
years a century ago could be cited in
large number, but the Dartmouth fig-
ures would indicate that they were the
exception and not the rule. Possibly,
however, Dartmouth itself would prove
to be an exception among colleges. The
séctions from which it drew students
most largely were more remote and
less favored with preparatory educa-
tional advantages than those about
Harvard and Yale, and this made a
great difference—Springfield, Mass,

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON.
A Little Incident \‘Vhich Happened in the
New York Post-Office.
One of the most remarkable among
the feats of the post-office in finding
people—and such fonts are many—is
recorded by a New Y01k paper A let-
tel was received at the post-office in
that city addressed simply: “To my
mother, New York, America’
The letter came from Ireland, but as
the-re are in New York several women
who have sons in Ireland, the post-of—
fice people despaired of finding the
right one. However, the letter ‘was
turned over to the deciphering depart-
ment. Now it so happened that on the
very day of its receipt there an old
Irish woman came to the general de-
livery window and said,—
“Have ye a letter from me b’y?”
The fact that a woman with the cast
of mind required for such an inquiry
should come at that time, struck the
clerk, who had heard of a letter for a
woman whose name was not given, as
something more than a coincidence. It
was quite possible that such a woman
might be the mother of such a. son.
. So. he took the letter, observed the
postmark, and asked the woman where
her “b’y” lived. She gave the name
of the pl’ace with which the letter was
stamped. Some other questions were
asked and the answers noted down.
Then the clerk gave the woman the
letter, on the condition that she should
open it on the spot and return it if it
were not for her.
She opened it, audio! its contents
proved conclusively that it was really
from her son in Ireland.
A Wonder Room in a Chicago House.
There is a. curious room in Chicago.
It is in one of the most imposing man-
sions of the city—a mansion famed for
its diners and ,balls. This little room
is fashioned of mirrors. Ceiling, floor
and walls are all of mirrors, some of
which are convex, some concave, some
flat. The door is also of looking glass,
and it opens with a spring, which is
not easy to find. One of the jests of the
glittering room, close the door and
leave him for a few moments to find
his way out. The effect upon the sens-
es is bewildering. T‘he occupant sees
himself in grotesque shapes all around.
He is dogged with caricatures of him-
self. vHe sees himself with a flat and
swelling face and with an elongated
and lugubrious phiz; he perceives him-
self squat as a dwarf and- towering like?
a beanpole, and can find no escape
from .these absurd presentments of
himself.
A Thoughtful Hen.
A lady who lived for some time when
she was first married on a Mississippi
cot ton plantation says that among
their poultry was a hen who developed
a fondness for a more civilized way of
living. She preferred the'house to the
hen yard, and never lost an opportuni-
ty of mounting the steps and entering.
She was always “shooed” out, but this
did not. cause her ardor to decrease.
