Saved Prom Kola By a Trusting Merchant Years Ago, a Itich Mine Owner Re cently Finds an Opportunity to Awist His Benefactor. [Cor. Rochester Democrat.] The early days of quartz mining in Cali fornia were marked with repented failures. Ignorance of the correct methods of mining and milling the auriferous quartz rock ruined hundreds of enterprising men who first embarked in that enterprise. The siiine was also true of capitalists who also attempted it. Lack of experience and the high price of labor and material were de cidedly against that kind of gold raining. For several years a paying quartz claim was a novelty, while abandoned shafts and decaying quartz mills were conspicu ous from one extreme of the mineral belt to the other. It was in the midst of just such discour agements that AJvirza Hayward com menced his career. For a long time no success crowned his efforts. After months of incessant, toil, all he had to show for so great an outlay were two or three shafts sunk a hundred or more feet into the adamantine rock. His money was all gone, but his stock of faith in the enterprise remained intact He still continued on with the work, his inen having implicit confidence in both his honor and ability. But there came a time when it seemed that the work must stop. His creditors all along had been both leni ent and liberal. But tlTere must be a limit some time to credit. They could favor him no more, not even to the extent of a single sack of flour. Even this did not discourage the brave man. A ride of two hours brought him to the seat of an adjoining county. It was a prosperous town. In it were several well-to-do merchants. One of these wa* a Yankee we may call Stevens. The quartz i miner sought him out, and with candid 1 earnestness told him of his troubles. He j stated to the merchant that every dollar ho i had in the world was invested in his quartz 1 mines. Further than that, all the money ho could borrow from his friends was there too. Nor was that all; he owed his la- borers considerable sums, and the mer- chants of the vicinity so much that they 1 bad refused to longer credit him, even for a j single dollar’s worth of goods. “Now,” continued he, “I have given you a plain, truthful statement of my affairs. I am almost certain of a rich mine eventually. Can you, or will you, under the circum stances credit me with a bill of goods? If the mine pays me, you will soon get your money. If it does not, some time in the future I shall meet with success and will not forget the obligation.” “How much do you want?” coolly asked the merchant. “Three hundred dollars’ worth of as sorted goods, mostly provisions,” was the answer. “You car 'Iv.-t,” said Steven- un hesitatingly; “±n?.lMOut your list.” The goods vero shipped it,with. Not long afterward the '..ewspapera of the vicinity teemed with accounts of a rich ;,trike In quartz in the Silver Creek section, and an obscure quartz miner sud denly rose to a position of wealth and dis tinction, which he has ever since retained. The mines hud been opened in a scientific. i manner; the lead proved to be a true fis sure vein between well-defined walls, with the rich metal evenly distributed through all the rock, conditions very desirable, as all expert miners well know. The income from it was a permanent one, the owner became immensely rich, and the commu nity a very prosperous one for long years afterward. It is needless, perhaps, to state that the fortunate miner did not, in his wonderful prosperity, forget his merchant friend the adjoining county, neither any others. Ynars passed rapidly away, and all these Circumstances grew dim in the recollec tions of those once conversant with them, and but for a freak of fickle fortune would have gone into oblivion. The lucky minor plodded along until his wealth made him world-renowned; and yet, though several times a millionaire ho never became haughty or sordid. The merchant’s luck also changed as years went on, but only “from bad to worse.” Fires, bad debts, and a rapid decadence of local resources eventually brought him almost to the verge of penury. Gathering together the little be had left, ho set. out to visit the land of bis birth. At Bay City he purchased a steamer ticket and patiently in« the streets one day, he accidentally j met the millionaire miner, then just re turned from u long journey abroad. The surprise was a pleasant ono to each. After a long hand-shaking the miner exclaimed: “Well, Stevens, I am really glad to meet you. How long it has been since we have 1 met. How are you,and how has the world J used you?" “Well as to health, poorly r otherwise,” quickly and cheerfully replied Stevens. “I have a few hundred dollars left, and only a few, after paying my fare 1 Bast, where I am soon going to visit the 1 few relatives that yet live.” i •'‘Possible!” exclaimed the kind-hearted millionaire; “only a few hundred dollars i left after all these struggling years? It is too bad; come with me and let us have a talk of the by-gone days.” His office war but a block or two distant. Once seated there, an hour flew swiftly by as they reviewed the past and recalled the stirring times of old. At last as Stev ens arose to say good-by, his friend ex claimed, “Stop one moment more;” and turning to his desk quickly penned a name, then signed another, tore the leaf from the t book and handed it to him, meditatively i saying, “Only a fow hundred dollars left. 1 Take that; it’s but a trifle: I shall not miss J it, and it may help you %vhen the ‘few hun- dred dollars left’ are gone.” Tears did J run down the furrowed cheeks of the pio- i neer merchant as he took the gift. ‘Twas gratitude that made them flow. The check read thus: “Pay to the bearer—S—$3,000.” Abo at the He vision. [Boston Record.] Perhaps the revision of the Bible was un necessary, after ail. The historian is im pelled to this reflection by a sage remark which was uttered in his hearing in a street car the other day,. On. the opposite side of the car were two women, who were talking rather loudly. Raid one: “Did you know Sarah had another lot of money left her by her cousin’s will?” “Law me!” exclaimed the other, “the Bible never said a truer thing than ‘them that has glta!' Harper’s Magazine.
