Trcnuurfu Qiujrr Stories ofl
I , ttolil l
The mcwt rcmarhablo fact connected with
ho wild excitement and zcnl that animates
ho old miners and prospectors every tlmo thn
icws comes of the finding ot a new mlno of
rcclous metal , Is that connoctcd with tlio
amotis I'cg Leg mine flomo'.vhcro In the
ange ot mountains that llc > on the border
jetween California and the Cocopah desert
if lower California or Mexico. Whllo there
us never been a largo or very general stain-
) edo of rcatlora , gold-hungry men for the
'eg Leg mlno region , relates the Globo-
Jomocrat , each nummcr screen for twenty-
noveii years , parties of men have started outer
or the supposed locality of the mine. Prob
ably no class of miners have over suffered
inch physical pain and braved such Insupcra-
) le odds as thcse > hunter * for the Peg Log.
The mlno Is unique In that It has never been
developed , nnd no ono liut one or two mon ,
who died years ago , ever knew where the
'PR Leg mlno was located. Nevertheless ,
there Is no property mine on the Pacific
coast more talked about and familiar to poo-
ilo's ears than this somewhat mythical mine
of untold riches. This very season some
fifty men , each of whom believes IIP has had
a trip or fiecrct Information as to the location
of the Peg Leg , are scouring over the moun
tains , tolling across the burning sands of the
awful Colorado and Coccpah deserts looking
for this mine. Every year thorp come back
to the settlements along the edge ot deserts
tales of how this or that miner , zealous for
sudden rlchea and confident that he Is on the
right trail for them , has risked travel acrorn
the burning wato with an Insufficient supply
of drinking water or In too poor physical
condition to stand the terrific solar heat , and
lies died In. the perennial search for the Peg
Leg. Last July there were three deaths on
ho desert among miners on their way on foot
to the mountains fifty miles away.
A FAMOUS MYTH.
The Peg Leg mlno Is the most famous
rich mine wcat ot the Rocules. If It can be
Found and developed , the old miners say It
will yield from $1,800 to $2,000 a ton , and will
make a man as rich as Monte Crlsto. A
gold miner , John 0. Smith , who was known
nil over the southern part of the state ns
"Peg Leg" Smith , because of a wooden peg
leg that he wore In place of a limb of bone
and muscle , which had been amputated , came
Into Lou Angeles ono day In July of 1S71
with his camp outfit and hl mules laden
with several sacks of gold ore. The rock was
assayed by mining experts In that place , and
the news quickly spread that "Peg Leg"
Smith had ore that ran all the way from
$1,500 to $2,300 , Of course'the whole coun
try In and about what was then a little
town of Los Angeles was soon wildly excited
at the news of the find o't a mine that yielded
such ore. Nothing Ilko It' ' had ever been
found south of Amador' county. "Peg Leg"
Smith was a curious , taciturn kind of a fel
low , and It was several weeks before he
could bo Induced to say'a- Word nbout where
ho got his ore , and the quantity there was
of such rock. When at last he did say any
thing about hla discovered'treasure , ho reed -
ed to give but a vagueSaea.1 of where It vtas
located. Ho said , however , that It was down
ncrors the Colorado de.'brt In the mountain
range In San Diego county ; and that until
he knew whether this mine waa located In
the United States or Mexico h-e must keep
that part n strict secret to himself. He said
that ho had spent five months In the loral-

Matcmcnts. Certainly $70.000,000 or JSO.OOO-
)00 ) were In the mines. Harly In September
"Peg I < cg" Smith turned up missing In 1/oa
Angela * , and the news came acrcva the
country n wi-ek or two later from San Herj
nardtno that he had been there nnd hastily
ami secretly "fitted out" for a cimp of sovI
cral months In the mountains and n mule
ride acrow the dciicrt , He had nt the I st
moment taken two old mining chtima with
him nnd set out In the night. It la almost
Impottdble to track a man acrOM a desert of
ever-shifting sand , especially In the hot
summer , so the several thousand men who
had made tip their inlmls and prepared
themoelves to follow " 1'og Leg" Smith back
to his treasure find , no matter what the haz
ard of death from ( starvation nnd thlmt In
crossing the awful desert , were forced to
await the next appearance of the old fellow
In the put-bio of Los Angeles.
From the tlmo that 'Teg Leg" and his
companions set out from San Hcrnardlno
nothing has ever been heard from the pros
pector. Several years later the dried and
mummy-llko remains of the two men .who
accompanied the old wan , and the skeletons
of the mules and remains of their wagon
and mining tools 'were ' found 100 mile * out
on the Colorado desert , but not ono trace
of " 1'eg Leg. " It Is Improbable that ho
could have cacaped from that spot In the
desert In September on foot.
Prom that time to this there have been
periodical reports of the finding ot mines
that Smith told about. The California newspapers -
papers have annually had Items and ntorlcs
concerning the most recently reported dis
covery of the " 1'eg Leg" mines. Hut the
alleged treasure la still awaiting the man
who will disclose It. Hundreds of mon
have risked their existence nnd suffered
agony and pain In hunting for the ledges.
A score of men have laid down their llvco
on the desert nnd among the mountains
whllo seeking the enormous wealth that
such a property as "Peg Log" Smith de
scribed will surely yield.
WHITE CEMENT MINE.
Through two or three decades several
thousand miners In the Uocky mountains
have nt different times been set wild with
reports of the actual finding of the "Whlto
Cement" mine. The story of the discovery
of this mlno nnd the struggle and perse
verance oC the best prospectors all over the
west to locate the enormously rich ledges Is
ono of the most romantic and Interesting In
the history of mining In the union. The
"Whlto Cement" mine took Its name from
a Ynnkco named White. Ho was a wlilte-
halreil man of nbout 60 years when last
seen. He was a young man In the Califor
nia gold field In 1S50 , and was a friend of
such men as Leland Stanford , George Hoar.it
and Mark Hopkins. As a gold-seeker he
was known and talked about In every min
ing camp on the coast , and stories related of
his phenomenal luck. He , no doubt , made
many fortunes , but was always poor , and
tramped about with a lean mule and half-
breed Indian boy , getting grub-stake sup
plies where he could. Many people thought
ho was slightly demented , but all looked up
to him , and he undoubtedly knew moro
about the gold region than any man living.
Ono day In 1SGO Whlto came Into Horws
Head gulch from the region ot northern
New Mexico , driving his mule and looking
utterly used up. He got something to cat.
and then took out of his pack a number of
pieces of what looked Ilko hard whlto clay
glittering with specks of metal , but he said
llttlo and went oft to an assayer , a German
named Helyat , and an honest man. llefore
night It was known In camp that White's
specimens showed 1,000 ounces to the ton.
That meant about ? 1C,000 a ton. In five
minutes every ono went crazy. Nobody
slept that night , but sat around the fires
and talked "cement. " In the morning a
party , headed by a brother of the mining
king of later date , James G. Kair , called on
White , who was sleplng In ono ot the
"shacks. " He was told In a few words that
he must pilot the men to his find , he should
have 'the pick of the claims and help to
work it , but go he must , and on his refusal
was warned that his life would not be worth
a dog's bark if he "stood oft" the camp.
Then ho consented ,
THE STAMPEDE.
A crazier mining camp was probably
never known. Any one who has ever seen
a lot of hard-tip , tlrod-out and anxious gold
miners set wild by relief , that untold
wealth Is nt lest about to be theirs , knows
what a crazy lot of treasure-seekers means.
Mon In Horse Head Gulch , a llttlo Incredu
lous and not desirous ot following White
over SCO miles from camp , were offered
$1,000 and $1,200 each for their camp out
fits , consisting of picks , shovels , kettles ,
pans , greasy old blankets , a bushel of beans
and two jackasses. But In two days there
was no outfit to be bought in the whole
gulch mining camp. Every one was on the
go and wanted his own outfit.
The trail led down across the Hocklos. ' Jt
was a very arduous Journey even for the
old miners , who seemed never to know
what physical fatigue meant. It led along
rocky trails , up and down canyons and
acrosa mountain crests. The first day was
a race , and two-thirds of the men broke
down. The Indian leaped ahead like ji wolf ,
and then Whlto followed , his long gray hair
Hying In the wind. By the end ot the second
end day we were In the heart of the moun
tains , In a desert where no human being
had ever been before. Half of the animals
were lost , and the men were haggared with
fatigue and excitement. White was told
that If he played false he woa a dead mail ,
but lie still pointed ea t. The weary party
passed good indications that showed color
but In that land of desolUi ; Tall _ the gold
In America would not hav > . availed a man
then.
On the evening of the third day White
said the miners were near to their Journey's
end , and tomorrow and then he waved his
long arms , and such a yell went up from
the frenzied men that partly made the pine-
clad mountains shake. Every one lay clown
expecting to rise a millionaire , but In the
morning Whlto wca gene and left no trace.
About one-half of the party , aft'er Incredible
suffering , got back to life and civilization ,
and yet , despite , their story , 100 men
started back over their trail two days after ,
Three years after White reappeared 'hi
Salt Lake City with hln cement specimens ,
as before incredibly rich , and again dis
appeared , and from that tlmo to this has
never been heard ot , but still men wear
out their lives in seeking his "Lost Cement"
mine.
HUNTING LOST MINES.
"I have hunted more lost mines than any
body now living , I suppose , " yald a retired
prospector to the Washington Star man.
"That Is the way I got the nameof 'Lost
Mlno Zorah. ' I was one ot three sons , and
had a good home , but like a lot of these
blamed fool boys who are now getting
crazy to go to the fabulous gold fields of
Alaska , I ran away from homo to fight In
dians and hunt gold. I got plenty of both
the lighting and hunting before- quit , and
I quit an old and broken man , with not
enough gold to fill my hollow teeth to show
for my wasted years. " The old man smoked
his curious old plpo , picked up In silence ,
and then resumed his story. "I remember
very well how ono of my illusions nearly
caused my death early in my career. I
crossed the plains in 1855 In a 'prairie
echooner' as a 'horse wrangler1 for Ihe
boss of a big outfit of freighters. Holy
amoka ! what a breaking In that was ! Tlio
boss was a brute , but ho had mo In his
clutches , for I had not a penny , and dared
not desert out in that horrible wilderness ,
for It meant certain death. After months
of suffering wo reached Santa Fo , and then
I concluded that I wanted to get back home ,
co I started back with another outfit , and
when wo stuck Kansas eoll there were fabu-
louo stories of geM fields In Indian Territory.
An Indian showed mo a nugget ot solid gold
that was as big as my doubled fist , and said
that ho could gnaw mo where Iliero was a
mountain of it ! Tlio stories of my trials
down In that GoMorsaken country would
read Ilko a dime novel , and It Isn't worth
whllo to take up tlmo relating many of
them , for you wouldn't bellevo them. I
never found the mine , but I must have got
pretty close to It , for ono day a band of the
bloody redskins came down on my camp and
told mo to etampede myself off the reserva
tion or prepare to attend a scalp-dance and
wayup white man's funeral. I didn't want
to leavu , not a darned bit , for I was young
and not a bit of a coward , but an old priest
who had spent till Hfo down there told mete
to be who in lime and leave.
"I asked the old fellow If there was any
truth about the gold mine , or , rather , the
mountain of gold , and ho finally acknowl
edged that there was. Ho oald that be hud
some nuggets of fabulous richnrsa that
were given him by Cherokee Indians , who
told him , that they knew -where the n.oun
tain 1 was. Only three of the trlbo over
\ , know 1 at ono tlmo where the mlno wa .
' When ono dlod the survivors took anoth r
1 Into I thflr secret , nnd so It WHS handed
1 down i from generation to Ronerntlon. The
priest ] said th t ono .white man lied dis
covered i the eecret accidentally many yearn
before. I It was over 100 miles from a set-
1 tlomcnt. I so filling his pockets and hunting
j pouch i with nuggets , ho started for clvlllsa-
! tlon. I He got but twenty miles or BO whe : >
I ho 1 was overtaken 'by the Indians and put
to I death. This story was told to discourage
others i from Invading the Indian country.
IN THE LAND OP THE INtXVS ,
The old miner paused , and was nnptrenlly
, thinking , but finally ho bpgan again. "Meet
i of ( these Bupe-rstltlons about lost mines nro
! i of Indian origin. Since the days of the
I Incas , whom Coronado despoiled , the meat
1 fabulous stories have been told of the rich
mines that the Incns once possessed nnd
the futility of trying to find three mines. I
have been down In the Im-as co-it'try , and
seen some of their queer old churches , with
their altars covered with 'beaten gold , their
pictures framed In gold , their Images made
of allvcr plated with gold , and their golden
sacramental service , and I have wondered
myself how they ever scraped all the shin
ing yellow metal together , and I have been
In their homes nnd their mines. I know
that all they had they gave to the church ,
and that their rich mines that were worked
for centuries , perhaps , at last gave out and
were filled up with rubb'ah. 1 was in one of
the churches In the San Xavter country
once , and saw each devotee creep to tlio
altar and lay upon the whlto cloth snroad to
receive It nuggets of virgin gold , from as
big afl a bean to the elzo of an > g. I Raw-
lit that same country ono of the miclent
mlnes > . It had crtido smelting furnaces ami
all the appurtenances for mining , und I
don t bellevo that they have lain thorn un
touched a day less than a century. The
mouth of the mlno had grown up with trees
nnd filled In with shifting sands.o , my
four partners and myself , tried to open the
dace Wo got Into It nnd found tunnels
and shafts that stretched for mih-s under
the mountain , but the gold that had made
tile Indians rich had all been tikca out ,
and the mlno wna valueless. The Indians
are cunning , and they do not hoe to re
veal the sources of their wealth , flies I
all sorts , of stories to put people as ray , and
are quite adepts In tbo 'lest mine nisio.j.

cold off the sides of the old mine with a

"I once spent nearly six months on the
grub stake of a rich old duffer hunting the
fost 'Gun-sight Ledge' mine. The story o
hat is - story of the want and
novations the wanderings and sufferings of
bo pioneers of the W. . In 18G4 omo 1m-
nlgrants got lost in the desert of Death val-
ey and could be followed by the trail of
ox carcasses and graves that they left behind -
hind In their awful wanderings. One night
ley camped under a. . ledge of rock , and one
of the lmmlKrantc-lh were four out ot
400 left nllve-found that the sight of his
gun was broken off. Ho picked up a chunk
of metal that had fallen , from tho-mounts n
and fashioned a sight out of It. Bventua l >
tbo two survivors , , for the other two succumbed
to Los .Angeles ,
cumbed , found their way
ana an old miner , seeing the clumsy gun
sight ; eagerly asked Us owner how he came
by It : He told the story , only to learn that
silver ot the
unalloyed
the metal was pure
richest possible nature. Immediately u
party was organized to hunt that silver
edge. Their descendants are still hunting ,
presume , for It . .ever . was Mund. but him-
dreds of lives have been sacrificed to the hor-
rore of that deadly desert.
-I never hunted the 'Lost Cabin' mine
which was located by some miners , Allan
Hurlburt. a Mr. Jones and a man by tie
name of Cox , who were prospecting In the
Indian country , and , being hard preyed ,
built a raft and floated down the Big Horn
by nights , lo get away from the Indians
and lest their bearings completely. lacy
camped at the foot of some mountains In the
fall of 1SG3 , and there discovered a mlnoof
wonderful richness. They resolved to work
It and. having stupe provisions and game-
being plenty , they went to work , 'nicy built
stockades to shield them from the hostile
Indians of the country , and spent tbo win
ter developing the. . claim. One day In the
spring Hurlburt , who had left his companion
but a faw moments , beard the crack of gww
and returned to find them dead and the cabin
sacked. Ho know" that meant death to him
uljo when the redskins caught ! sight of , him ,
so he filled his knapsack with some of tlio
nuggets and burled the rest , and set out for
clvUIzaMon. not knowing exactly where he
would find It. He finally drifted Into Fort
Laramlo and told the story of his wonder
ful find. A big company organlrod to limn
the mine , of which Hurlburt had proof In his
gold nuggets , but the mine was never found.
The Indignant men who put thc-lr money
Into the Bchemn nearly mobbed him when at
last the project was abandoned , after thou
sands of dollars had been sunk In the
search. " .

"Where Is the governor ? " timidly Inquired
n venerable-looking man , as he walked Into
the executive olllce , relates the Topekn
Capital , nnd , with his lint In his hand ,
approached the desk occupied by Major A.
"Tho sdvernor has > ; one home to ppciul
Sunday , " replied the major , scarcely lookIng -
Ing up from the writing which heVUH doing.
"That's too bad , " remarked the visitor ,
walking uneasily nbout the olllce.
The Htrnnge visitor did not make hM
wishes known , but continued Blaring vu-
cfintly nt the pictures on the wall.
Finally the visitor approached Major
Shrnve'B desk and said :
"You know the governor , don't you ? "
"Well , I guess I do , " answered Major
Shreve.
"He's n great fellow. "
"Yosj a very clever man , " rejoined the
"Know about tlio favor he offered mo ? "
nuked the visitor.
"No , 1 don't , " was the answer ,
The old man then occupied ten minutes In
a halting , disconnected announcement of the
fact that when the governor recently vis
ited his section of the Htate , the conversa
tion turned upon bathtubs , and the old man
hud been promised a. bath In the governor's
ofllce.
"Well , well ! " exclaimed Major Shrove.
"We've got the bathtubs. "
"la It possible ? "
"I'll show 'em to you , " said Hhrevc.
Hct opened the door leading to the bath
room and told hl visitor to go In and go to
work. The old fellow tiptoed on the tiled
floor , looked around In a dazed sort of way
for some time , asked how to lock and un
lock the iloor , and finally announced his
reaillneFS to tackle the Job.
.Major Shreve retired and for half an hour
listened to sounds resembling Ilio roar of
Niagara emerging from the room.
At the end of that time the old man again
mudo his appearance , having completed
what he himself said was -tho first bath I
have had for years. That's mightylino
In there , ain't It ? " ho said. "Well , I do
declare. I never thought there was really
a , bathtub In the ofllce , but It's a great
tiling , ain't it ? "
' Give my regards to the xovernor , and
teil him that I came und tot the bath ho
promised me. "

All of three pets seem to have gone to the
limbo , where lace rnlllca and feathers nnd
femlnlno trinkets and furbelows have van
ished. The woman of tlio last few years
Is drawn with a. broader brush. Her out
lines are stronger ; her habits nro freer.
Slio lives no longer In the house , but out
of doors ; she Is not afraid of long walks In
all weathers , she has forgotten how to
faint ; slm wants no smelling salts , and sha
has forsaken the canary bird and tlio lapdog -

where slu > shows her distinctly feminine eye

tocratlc companion. In the fourteenth and
llftecnth ccnturlca the noble Indira were ac
customed to RO out with their dogH , holding
them by n leash , nnd most of the dogs fa

ntanco. Houdaln. Tristan's faithful dog , and
the Celtic Oellort , and all the dogs In Ilia
Mablnogtan were hournia.
GIIHYHOUNDS IN KAVOU.
Ono of the first women to appreciate the'r '
beauty was Mrs. Henry Draper of Now York ,
who has long had a number of them at her
country home on the Hudson , and who had
hop portrait printed with her favorite dogs
at her side. The slim , elegant greyhound
bounding over n lawn gives a most pic
turesque touch to the landscape. He la al
most as romantic na the sun dial ami the
peacock. Within the last two years a new
favorite has arisen I he great done. U Is
no uncommon thine ; to see a woman walking
with one of these line monarchs of the dog
world. One Is perfectly sure that Slrlus
and Procyon were originally just ouch ani
mals. They eompcao superbly out of doora.
As n walking companion the great tlano Is
unsurparsed In giving dignity to the occa
sion ; lying on the porch or upon the lawn ,
he adda A distinction to 'the ' hoimo or land-
ecapo ; at the foot of his mlstnca , half
erect and watching her with Interested ,
alert face and aparkllng eyes , ho adda no
little 'to her charm ; nnd standing upright
contemplating some object In the distance
that appeals to his Imagination , he Is a
model for any artist worthy of the name.
The great dane , or German boarhotind ,
Is n Bplendld animal. The 'true-blooded '
specimen must bo tall and strong , noble of

ho must 'plant solidly , a flnuly arched neck ,
a good depth of muzzle , a good peso of the
head , well-pointed ears , and brilliant ,
Jawol-llko eyes. The great dane mint have
something of the bold , lion-like quality
about him. His hnlr Is short , 'but ' nothing
speaks moro of hla parentage than the
color. Ho may be a brlndlo , n red brlmllo.

FAMOUS SPECIMEN'S.
Perhaps the most famous specimens of
the Great Dane are owned by an English
woman , .Mrs. II. L. Hoitffall of Redgrave.
Hall , DIss , Norfolk. She lies for years pos
sessed valuable kennels , and has come to the
concluoion that of all the dogs which are
the safest , gentlest , and most satisfactory
companions and pets for women and children
the Orcat Dane takes precedence. She Is the
founder and vice president of the Ladlca *
Kennel association of England and a Judge
of the Great Dane club. She trains her own
dogs , and is rarely seen walk'-'g ' without a
noble escort of these hounds. Her finest
Great Dane Is Ilenn'bal ' of Redgrave , a
graceful animal , whelped in 1S94 , full of
life ami high spirits and a rich red brlndlo
In color. Hannibal has a fine record of
prizes and championships. Another of her
champion dogs is Wlydlo Princess , an Eng
lish-bred Dane , now over 7 years of ago.
Her other famous dogs are Goodrich of Red
grave , Champion Sclwood Ninon , Lore of
Itedgravo and Emma II. Very few Ameri
can women have as yet gone In for pedigree
and champion Danes , but Mrs. C. D , nern-
helmer of New York won a prize with Satis
faction , and Mrs. T. S. Horghliim of LOT
Angclea ono with Titan at the last bench
show.
No dog Is moro popular In America today
among the fanciers and breeders for ex
hibitions than the Gieat Danes. They are
owned by the hundreds from Maine to Cali
fornia. although not so many years have
passed since his sppclea was Imported , Tlio
Great Dane has a fine record In this country
and Is always prcwnt In large numbers nt
the don shows. The champion Great Dane
of America Is Major McKlnley.
