A VERY QUEER BIRD
The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists
Mark Twains father was an ornithol
ogist He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on the subject of
birds Whenever an one of them dis
covered a rara avis it was the custom
lo have a consultation Mark had been
a witness of several of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing a new
found specimen One day it occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni
thologists with a real circus in the
form of a bird lie killed a crow and
also a barnyard rooster Plucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster he substituted the roosters
tail feathers for those of the crow pro
ducing a unique effect When he had
the specimen nicely prepared he went
to his father and handing it to him
said
Ilere father is a very curious bird
I shot I thought you would be inter
ested in it
The eld gentleman gazed upon the
specimen with astonishment That
evening the ornithologists of Hannibal
were assembled In Mr Clemens par
lor The rare specimen was put be
fore them The discussion was long
and learned The opinions expressed
were various One thought the bird
was an offshoot of the bird of para
dise family others had equally ridicu
lous notions as to its ancestry Eut
there was one who refused to be
swerved by the peculiarity of the
birds tail from the judgment that it
was of the crow family
Why just look here he said lift
ing the bird by its tail feathers He
got no further The feathers came
out There was a quick closing of a
door Mr Clemens started to leave
the room
Gentlemen he said please excuse
me a few moments I will see Samuel
first and explain later
The Commons
The second chamber or com
mons or popular assembly or
house of representatives as it is
variously termed takes us back to the
battle between the Patricians and
Plebs in republican Rome In the lan
guage of a very high authority on the
subject The first real anticipation
of a second popular chamber armed
with a veto on the proposals of a sep
arate authority aud representing a dif
ferent interest the interest of the body
of the people as opposed to the inter
est of the hitherto dominant aristoc
racy occurs in the Roman tribunate
When the Roman Plebs got their
tribunes the very beginning of the
modern machinery of the commons or
house of representatives was estab
lished New York American

of Ely and other camps in the

Sbeepherders mine The Under has
returned to ivilLatiou with a story of
discovery that has made the most sea
soned tniiiers sit up ami take notice
saying that the telluride ore carriei
values as high as tfSOlHH to the ton
that the smallest return from sample
taken at random was SSi and that
there is surface ore of a value of more
than Slr00000 in sight and can be
quarried like building stone lioiinies
story follows
Tlie Lost Sheopheiders mine was
talked of and generally counted upon
for thirty years prior to my dis uv
ery I heard about it myself ami
looked upon the story as one of those
yarns that a mining man rets
existed I was not so sure but I knew
if it did exist it could not possibly be
as rich as the stories would indicate
In the fall of last year I decided to
leave Ely and do a little prospecting
I had no particular point in Nevada in
view but just struck out of the hills
in tlie general direction of the country
where the lost mine was supposed to

BOUKNli ON HIS ItETURN

FKOM THE
ried sttecess However when I did
discover the yellow metal the rest was
easy as every place along the outcrop
pings that I sampled showed gold
One day while prospecting along
the country I came across the skeleton
of a human being and nearby a shovel
handle I thought then that I had
besides myself knew about it was in
October last when I went to liruneau
and told the people what was up there
I knew then I had the ore and 1 was
satisfied tJiit it was the greatest bo
nanza ever unearthed in the west To
tell one what is there is useless for
the average man would not believe it
so great is the whole thing
The extent of the vein of outcrop
pings is not yet known I know that
for 1400 feet I have followed it and
at no place was it less than forty feet
iu width and some places much wider
I have not been able to find the foot
or hanging wall and one of the most
remarkable features about it is that
you cannot dig into the hill at any one
place and not find pay dirt I feel
that I am about as conservative as any
of the men who have seen the district
They all say it is almost too big to
grasp
I have been with the best samplers
and engineers who flocked to the coun
try when the reports were circulated
and we sampled every place along the
outcroppings We sampled in places
where we belieed positively that there
was no mineral and the lowest as
say we could pet was SG
We got to figuring before I left and
we just said for example that the ore
would run only 20 to the ton on the
average At that figure and it is
many times higher we know there is
cow in actual ight and with little
mining 17iUlO In fact to speak
conservatively there are millions of
dollars in sicrht
The propel ty is located about 100
mile due south from Bruneau at Jaw
bridge almost at the headwaters of
the Hruneau river The first thing we
intend to do it to build a ten stamp
mill which will treat about fifty tons
of ore a day This will be possible
because the ore is free milling and

I By an uu written law it is held to be

fails to avail herself The German
proverb has it that women are varia

an old English adage A womans
