That "truth U stranger than fiction" 1 >
exemplified in western llfo. In no other sec
tion of the great republic does fickle fortune
yield her treasures as lavishly to ardent
wooers , regardless of color or previous con
dition. Too lever may to reduced to aching
stages of poverty ; his hopes befogged and
his courngo ncll nigh exhausted ; mayhap
tbo NqmosU ot 111 tuck has shadowed his
life. OH when hopes nro lowest , the clouds
* 35 * " roll by and the glorious olivet lining appears
to cheer and rejuvenate.
The siratiRn career of Bill Fritz , related by
the Norfolk ( Nob. ) Herald , Illustrates the
fickleness of fortune as well at the amazing
recuperative powers of the nvorugo western
hustler. Eleven years ago Fritz was elected
treasurer of Madison county , Nebraska. Ho
served two terms und suugut a third but
was dufoutcd. Then caino an ac
counting and a revelation. A short
age of $10,000 was discovered , and
about that tlmo Fritz decamped ,
An indictment was found ugnlnsl hint and
criminal proceedings commenced , but were
held 'in auoyanco whllo Fritz returned and
endeavored to effect a nottiomcnt. Ho faced
his accusers down with morn than ordinary
, courage and tbo matter was adjusted oy his
turning over all his property to the county.
Sometime about 1884 "Bill Fritz. " as ho
was familiarly called , loft Norfolk lor the far
west , and from that time but llttlo was
hoard from him except Dy Immediate rela
tives.

The special report of the director of the
mint on tha production of tbo precious metals
in Utah for Ib'JI gives the following figures :
The output of the precious metals in the
territory approximated : ilj)4 ( ) ounces of gold ,
of the value of ? ( > 34,140 , ana 8,730.123 ounces
of silver , of tha coinage value of $11,31:3,1)30 : ) ;
a total of 511,007,470. This was a gam of
(050,473 ever the estimated product of the
preceding year.
The steady increase of recent years In both
the sliver product and the tonnage output
was maintained , and , as a rule , proportion
ately In all parts of the territory. A note
worthy exception Is Juno county , where
111 ere was a falling off , duo mainly to the
lowering in grade of the output of a few of
the largo properties. The showing , however ,
for Juab county In tonnage and in gold and
( Ivor output Is still a gratifying one.
Nona of the inreo producers of the prebod-
IHR year ere missluir from the year's list , but
as a rule such properties nhow un increased
product , On the other nnnd. It may bo said
theio has been uo addition of any importance
to the list of producing properties during
tbo past pear.
Three now districts have added to the out
put of the territory. Marysvalo , in Pluto
county , whllo not strictly speaking a now
district , has , after many years of inactivity ,
ihown runowod activity and may bo classed
Binong tbo producing sections.
La Plata , in Cache county , and the stretch
* ) t country in Juab and Tooolo counties ,
known generally as the Beep Creek roplon ,
nay bo mentioned as producing soctlons.
The last mentioned has not added materi
ally to the output of the precious metals , for
ttio reason that owing to the lack of trans
portation only tbo high grade ores could bo
tent to the market , but , with the advent of
promised railroad facilities a largely in
creased output may bo looked for.
CWio discovery of the La Plata district was
kii talc in tba year , and Its ores bain ? , with
out exception , high In load , with very little
bllvor or gold , has no considerable effect
I upon the precious metal product of the past
t year.

A CnUrbrniu lllff Tree.
A novel scbomo is on foot to advertise Cali
fornia at the World's fair , nnd there is every
likelihood of it. being carried out. It is no
other than to exhibit at Chicago ono of the
state's greatest attractions , if not the
greatest , a huge redwood of the species
sequoia glgantca , or big tree.
It Is well known that the state and federal
governments have taken every precaution to
preserve these trees from destruction or
mutilation , nnd all the groves have boon reserved -
served from private entry nnd sale. Even for
so laudable a purpose as that of attracting
attention to tbo wonders ot the state the gen
tlemen who have the scheme in band would
have found it impossible to secure one of the
big trees. In fact , it would probably require
nn act of congress before anv trco In tbo
reserved groves could bo touched with tbo
woodman's nx. It came to tholr knowledge ,
however , that on n strip of land adjoining
the grove , in Mariposa county , and owned
bv Uoorgo B. Sporr'y of Stockton , woio several -
oral trees which were available for their
purpose , over which the government had no
control. Negotiations were opened with Mr.
Sperry and ho was asked to put n price on
ono of bis trees.
Ho replied that the sequoias wore not on
the market , and only consented to niuno a
figure when it was represented to him that
it would bo a great attraction at the Colum
bian exposition , and would probably cause
moro comment and draw moro attention to
the natural wonders of the Golden state than
any other single exhibit possibly could.
An arrangement was II n ally reached with
Mr. Spcrry , and ho consented that ono of his
monster redwoods should bo felled. The tree
will bo trimmed and brought to San Fran
cisco , a barco botng employed for the pur
pose of transportation , as tbo size ot the
forest giant precludes tbo use of anything
but aspeclally constructed train , Tbo tree Is
uoout ace foot high and at some dis
tance from the ground is tblrty foot in diam
eter , than which there nro few larger In the
famous groves of Mariposa or the King river
canon.
It is estimated that it will cost $3,000 to
land the big tree In San Francisco. Hero it
will bo placed on exhibition whila tbo special
train that is to carry It across the continent
Is In process of construction.
On reaching Chicago the great tree will beset
set up on a.sirlp of ground Just across the
way from the' main entrance to tha fulr ,
which has boon leased far that purposo. It
will bo bored so that persons may pass Into
the interior nud ranged around tbo wall of
bark buoths will bo sot up , at which Califor
nia wines , fruits and curiosities , such as
toilet boxes mada of polished redwood and
the like , will no sold.
