Its population was made up ot nil sorts and

of women also , the majority wore as noble

The winter of 1SC1 at Austin was bitterly
cold. The miners found their shacks un
comfortable of evenings , at Irast as com-
rarnd with the warmth and light to bo found
In the spaclouo saloons and gambling houses
down town. The consecnicnco was that these
'Wcio ' crowded with men , gambling , drjnklng
nnd talking every night fiom dark Into the
small hours. Going from these crowded
rooms , where they had been breathing the
vitiated air for hours Into the night atmos
phere with the thermometer nt 01 below ? ro
and going to bed in their cold and comfort
less shacks , brought on nn epidemic of
pneumonia. The mortality was something
fearful. Ono would hear In the moinlng thai
a friend was slrlcken with tbo disease and
at night would learn of lilti death With
the means at command oveij thing possible
was done to allevtalc suffering. Those with
money and frlmds ot course were cared

fall a brass band of six or eight pieces had
been formed , It was called the Cornish
Iwnd. It camp out stronger on the "Dead
Starch In Saul" than on any other ploco of
Jnuslo In Its repertory. If Austin could not
limy Its dead with the rjtos of the church It
could at least send them to their last rest
with the slralns of solemn music. During
tbo month or more of tbe existence ot the
epidemic Iho echoes of ino "Dead March"
were seldom absent from Iho slreols of Aus

PAMOUS MHN OF AUSTIN.
In Its youth Austin was the temporary
lioniu of many men and-a few women who
had achieved or wcro yet to achieve fame
and prominence In the annals of the times.
Indeed , n dozen romances of Intuiso Inlcr-
osl could bo written by sllghlly embellish
ing Ihn truths In Uio career ot several old
Aiisllnltes In the years Immediately after
thi war came a union general vvhofc mili
tary career was cut Bhort by the defeat nt
Ghlckanmuga. Ho to > ed with dips , spurs
and angles for a brief tlmo and went his
way n wiser and poorer man. The first of-
llcial poaltlLii otrer hold by ono who has since
held judicial positions for a quarter of a
century and Is now the chief justice of a
utato supreme court was that of city attor
ney of Austin , at the munlllccnt salary of
? 5UO per annum. There are lawyery ( more
than one ) now recognl/cd among the Icadcni
at the San Fiancltco bar whoso career be
gan nt Austin 'lliey think no more now of
asking ( and receiving ) n $5,000 retainer than
'they ' did In thu old Austin dajs ot asking

old Aubtln merchants liuvo been several
whoso n a in en are Known nnd honored on
'change III this city , where for many > cars
they have been carrjlng on largo enter
prises. A prlma donna who has scored her
tiliimplvs In the capitals and musical ccn-
teiii of Uuropo was formerly a llttlo school
girl of AuHIn , where she sang many Una's
in church choirs and fairs without money
and without price , A limy who In her girl-
liood was ono of the belles of Austin and Is
now the vvlfo of a Paclllo coast millionaire

audience with the pope , an honor only con-
furred on the distinguished ot the earth.
She 1s also spoken of as the prohablo rcclp-
lent of the Golden Hose , which Is presented
eveiy ycsr by the sovereign pontiff to the
Ciitbollo lady selected by him as a token ot
his appreciation of her devotion to the
church and her Christian virtues. Her
daughter , a mure child when she left Aus
tin , bccumo a princess by marrying Into
ono of the most ancient and aristocratic
families of Uuropts Humor says that the
union has proved none of the happiest.
FAMOUS BACK OF FLOUH.
The two most prominent men connected
with the early hlotory of Atiat'ii were Dave
Duel and IKu llateuian. They were experi
enced mlcieru , reckless speculators , and gen
erous to a fault , They held the controllng
Interest In tbo town site company , and by
their liberal and Judicious management that
company made a largo amount of money out
of the aalo ot town lota. Duel and llateinan
were largely Interested In the mine * and
put up one of tha tint mills In tbo district ,
Ilk the uprlng of 1801 things looked blue for
'Austin. ' The mines as they wore developed
rhowed rich ore , but not In suUlcltiU quan
tities to Justify tbo erection of mills and
oxponslve bo'atlng works. No ono was bet
ter aatUfled ot tills fact than Duel and Mate-
inun. Now happened an event that resulted ,
all unforeseen , In turning tbo tldo ot pros
perity in full tlood Into the lap of Austin.
It arcje from tbe town's ono transceudant
virtue that of giving with a liberal and un-
ntinted band to any object ot nutterluc or
dUtrcai. And In this Instance vlrtuo met
He reward. All huvo heard or road of
Auitln'a sanitary tack ot Hour , An election
bet of n neck of flour , to bo carried on tbo
ebouldars of the loser and delivered at tbo
homo of the winner ; tba putting
up of the Hour for MO at auc
tion for tUo benefit of tbe sanitary
fund , a fund being raUed throughout tbe
union for tbe benefit ot tba lck and
wounded soldier * la the war then rag Ins
between the ntatea ; the unwritten law by
m-talch each purchntr r tuiued the lack of
flour ( o b M to aold. for tt boneut ot the
.fund. About $6,000 $ was raise 1 by this
process In Austin , tnd two bugh bricks ol
silver were purchased and forwarded to the
sanitary commission at the east , where
thuy ttero exhibited at the falra being held
In all the principal cities under the auspices
of the commission. Metal money had been
en unknown currency at the east for several
years Greenbacks had taken Its place. Tbo
big silver bricks from Austin wcro subjects
of Intense curiosity throughout the ea t
"What are those ? " was asked. "Why , brlckn
of pure silver contributed by the city ol
Austin , Nev , to the fund. " "Where la
Austin ? " "It Is about the middle ot what
used to bo known as the Great American
Desert , and they dig the silver ore out of
tbo mountains and extract the silver from
It. " It proved to bo a first clans adver-
tlsctmilt of Aunttn and Its-only product.
USING THU ADVniiriSING.
"Among the first to see the possible ad
vantages to be derived from this accidental
advertising wan the firm ot Duel & Date-
man. They hastily got together half a ton
of the richest ere they could lay their hands
on. They alee got dceda and abstracts ot
tltlo to all the mines they were Interested
In and Duel , with the deeds , abstracts and
ore , left on the overland stage for the cast ,
Ho landed In New York ami took quarters
at the St. NIcholAB. He soon bad a minia
ture quartz mill running In his room , where
bo hold forth dally to a crowd ot capitalists
on the field tbo mines of Austin presented
for the remunerative Investment ot capital.
"Hern Is the kind of ore wo get out ot our
mines. From this kind of ere the silver
bricks contributed by the city of Austin to
the sanitary fund was extracted , " ho would
say "Take It and have It assayed for your
selves. " They did so * and to tbolr surprise
and delight they found It ran up Into the
hundieds ot dollaro per ton , Duel Judlclouslv
kept silent as to the size of the ledges and
the quantity of ore. NHW York fairly broke
Its neck to Invest In tbo scheme. It Is said
that Duel sold bin mines outtlght for a half
million In greenbacks nnd was afterward
amazed at his own moderation , as ho could
Just as easily have gotten a million. This
first venture soon had many Imitators and
the eastctn cities were speedily Hooded with
Austin mining schemes. Alluring pros
pectuses , elaborate maps and beautifully
executed abstracts of tltlo were exhibited
In finely appointed olllces In New York , lioa-
ton , Philadelphia and other Atlantic sea
board cities For a tlmo tbo success of the
promotPtH of these schemes was phenomenal.
Shortly , however. Investors became more
wary and Insisted before the money should
bo paid over that the milieu should be ex
amined by experts and iiaymcnt should be
nindo only on their favorable reports. Soon
the tow nl was full of graduates of Huropean
mining schools , "Imported rock sharps " ns
the miners called them sent out to report
on mines. This , however , made llttlo 01 no
difference1 Tlush times Ind brought to Aus
tin all the creature comforts cf our older civ
ilization. As good meals and as fine vvlnca
could be found there us anjwhere on the
coast. When an expert arrived he was taken
charge of by a committee of the Interested
and was dined and wined to his heart's con
tent. The favorable points of -property
lie was to Inspect were fully Impressed upon
him , and. It ncccrsary. It Is ( said that golden
spectacles wcro furnished him , that ho might
see tho-o points more clcarl } . If there were
many unfavornlilo expert reports the annals
of tbobo times have no record of 'them. ' So
the greenbacks continued to How Into Austin
In exchange for tbe Hazorblade ledges , until
a mlneowner was looked upon as stupen
dously shlftles.3 who could not exhibit a re
spectable sheaf of them for which he lad
given tltlo to the eastern tenderfoot to eome
of his mining properties.
WHY Tim MINKS FAILED.
If there had been a cbanco to have made
their Investments profitable It would have
been lost by the character of the men sent
out by the Investors to manage them sons ,
brothers , nephews and other dependents of
the directors who bad been employed all
their lives in storoi , offices and counting
houses , none pf whom would have known
a mine "If they had met It In tbo road ,
were sent out to manage a business that
icqulres for its success an Intimate prac
tical as well as technical knowledge. In
time the result was bound to bo disastrous ,
but until this was fully demonstrated Aus
tin was on tbo top wave ot prosperity. It
h estimated that from $2,000,000 to ? J,000-
000 were realized by Austlnltes from the
sales of tbolr mines , and twice as much
more was disbursed by the purchasers In
developing their properties , the erection of
mills , the building of mads. etc. Ah , those
wcto Hush times In Austin , Indeed ! No man
need be Idle , nnd everybody seemed to
have "money to burn. " To bo sure , In the
long run our eastern friends came to grief ,
but the Anstlnlte reasoned with his con-
HCleneo thus"The vrar had made the eist
plethoric with greenbacks ; the people there
had moro money than they know what ode
do with , and wore cageily looking around
for Investments , There was rich ere In the
Austin mines. To be sure , the velna were
narrow , but who know but that on the at
tainment of depth these 'Ilazorblades'
would not widen Into kidneys of ore. That
would fully rcccup the Investors. At any
rate , the tenderfoot < , ould see oa far Into
the cartji as he could , aud must take his
chances. "
Austin remained on tbo top wave of pros
perity about three years. In that tlmo It
was demonstrated that the narrow ledges
did not widen Into permanent and paying ere
chutes. Indeed , many of them pinched out
altogether. Incompetency and mismanage
ment also got In their deadly work and this
In addition to the natural disadvantages
sickened the eastern Invtators. Austin mines
had become a drug In the markets of the
eastern cities. With dearly bought oxpcrl-
encu the Investors then had become wary
There was no moro "spoiling the Egyptian , "
mines were abandoned and mills costing hun
dreds of thoiiiaiuls of dollars were sold for
a , song and removed to other localities. To
be sure under Intelligent and sjatcmatlc
management ono or two companies , owned
mostly In the town , coutlnuod their explora
tions In Lander hill. Wnllo the mines
yielded several millions of dollars , as much
or moro was expended In extracting and
milling the ore. The finishing stroke was
the demonetisation ot silver , A few chlor-
Iders and trlbuters are still delving nbout
Lander hill and occasionally running across
rich streaks ot ore , but extensive operations
were abandoned several years ago. The
glory has departed from Austin and her pop
ulation has diminished from thousands teas
as many hundreds , Many of tboso who par
ticipated In her good fortune have gone to
their long rest. OthorH nro scattered to tbo
four quarters ot the globe. How many of
these , especially among the fortunate ones ,
over hark back In memory lo the flush times
In Austin and the scenes and Incidents con
nected therewith , many ot which they saw
and part of which they were ?

Bard to the question of grade of range stock ,
the Fort Plerro Stock Journal presonls the
situation In the following : "Never In the
history of the live stock huelncss on the
ranges hag the class of stock been as good
as today. Tbo time for breeding the scrub
Is past. The high price paid last fall was
quickly lakcn advantage of by the stocUmcn
all over the Sioux range , and every scrub
animal was shipped east. With the herds
thus culled , 11 will give stockmen a boiler

The failure ot thu city council to pars tli
appropriation sheet at Its meeting Monda
night caused considerable comment on tli
streets jcstorday and th6 city einjilojes wh
will bo compelled to unit another week to

clt > 's creditors that It la bad enough to have
to discount , warrants from 5 to 10 Per cent
without being put off without any very gooi
masons.
Certain councllmon opposed the npproprla
tli > n ahcet bceaiiso the electric llsht com
nany had not located two lights In tbo Sec
otul ward as ordered to do. The history
of HIP case In brief Is : At a meeting of the
council on November 30 n resolution order
Ing street lights at Hlqhtcenth and Q streeta
and l.lghtoonth and S streets was pafcd
Then on December 1C , 1897 , Mayor Knsor
vetoed that portion of the resolution culling
for a light at Eighteenth and Q ti cots , giv
ing as his reason that with the lights It
aorvtco at tint time there would be an oxer-
lap In the lighting fund ot $550 by the cm
of thu llsc.il jcar. In this communication
the major stated that ho had been urged to
allow the light at Eighteenth and S streets
to bo put In , and as be considered that rno
was badly needed at that place , ho decided
not to Interfere with that portion of the IM-
olutlon , The COMIC ! ! , however , lefuaed to
sustain the vetoes and the resolutions went
on record no originally passed
It Is understood that on account of the
condition of the lighting fund Superintendent
Olmmock of the electric light company has
postponed action on the resolution In speak
ing about the matter jcstenU ) the major
said that he did not consider It a violation
of contract on the part of the light company ,
as the olllneis of this company were awaie
that if they complied with the resolution
they would have to wait a long time for
their money. The major further said that
legrlly the council had no right ta order tli"
lights located win n every member wcu aware
of the fact that there was not sulllcient
funds at hand to meet the payments
The bill of the light company which eausol
the troubio was for $55 ; ) ami Councilman
SchulU wns In favor of allowing the bill aid
discussing the matter afterwards , as a dU-
pount of 20 per cent is allowed an all bith
paid on or prior to the 10th of the month
On a bill of the size mentioned the d.icoimt

EiniuluatlonD.
To n modest , sensitive , high-
strung young womnn , especially
nn unmarried woman , there lane
no more trying or painful onion. !
than the "examinations , " which
are now so common in hospitals
nuil private practices.
An examination by speculum , or
otherwise , is sometimes a positive
necessity In certain singes of
many diseases peculiar to women ,
so at least It is declared by the pro
fesslon. This would not be the case If
patients heeded their symptoms in time.
If a young girl's blood is watery , her skin
pale and waxy looking , her lips colorless , bowels
torpid , digestion poor , her ears and temples tin oh and
she is subject to headache , begin at oneo to build up liar
system with Lydla B. 1'inkhnm's Vegetable Compound.
Do not allow her to undergo u physical c.xamlnatlon.
lleio Is a letter from a young lady who requests that
her name should not be used , but gives her initials and
street number so that any inquiry addressed to her
will bo received. She says ;
" Dear Mrs. 1'lnkhaiu : It affords me great pleasure to bo nblo to'sny a few
words In regard to the merits of your Vegetable Compound. I was tempted
to try it after seeing the effects of it upon my mother , and now I feel like n.
new person. I am a stenographer and was troubled with falling- the vvornb
mid female weakness in general. I continued to work until I was so weak I
could no"longer walk , and the Inst day I was forced to stop and rest.
" I was then so 111 that I wns compelled to stay In bed and so nervous
that I could not hold anything in my hands. The least noibc or surprise
would cause my heart to boat so loudly , and I would become so weak that I
could hardly stand. I suffered for almost a year. It is diffeicnt now. I
can go about my work with pleasure , while bofoie , work was a drudge.
"Trusting that my words of praise may help some other nlllleted person ,
and bo of benefit to womankind in general , 11cumin , Yams in gratitude ,
