IT'S A FRUITFUL SUBJECTMontana Men Who Operate in

the East.

A MONTE CRISTO STORY

Montezuma's Great Gold Mine Discovered

in Arizona, According to a Bril-

liant Pipe Dream-The

Prospectus.

Montana men are a fruitful subjectfor the Wall street man who writes forthe New York Telegraph. "The GreatHalchu of Longhorn" is the latest al-leged Montanan who is responsible fora story in the Telegraph. It reads asfollows:"If the young man who wrote the

prospectus of the Spenazuma GoldMining and Milling company were todevote his talents to evolving dreamsfor the yellow journals of New York hewould doubtless command a large sal-ary, for in his particular sphere of en-deavor, honest though it may be, Rud-yard Kipling is made to look like anamateur."In other words, this gifted person

has an imagination that most touch-ingly and graphically exemplifies thebeautiful theory of Dogberry to 'writefrom nature,' and should win him laur-els as well as ducats.

"In order to appreciate the remark-able and unrivaled genius of this storyteller, it is necessary that the readershould know something of his newwork, which bears the original andhumorous title of 'Spenazuma.' It inprinted In colors; besides being hand-sonlely illustrated. All the splendid resources of the printers' art, in additionto exceptionally clever freehand work,have been employed in its production.When tile little book appear-d in Wallstreet yesterday there was a big rushfor it. But this is not surprising, sincethe work was given away, and Wallstreet is proverbial for gathering inlthings that are cheap: also discardingthem with equal regularity.

"This may be an Indian tradition, butknowing persons in Wall street said tothe Man of the Curb yesterday that itwas a pipe dream. The reader is toldthat Montezuma, the hero of a hundredbattles and a thousand other things.had free access to the greatest banks ofgold the world has ever seen-not ex-cepting faro banks, sand hanks and avariety of other banks. But old 'Monte'was onto his Job, and had his trade-mark in the form of an image of him-self placed as a sort of guarding angelover this batk."Ite called it Spenazuma. Any other

mines not so marked are not the realarticle. The hero of this story, how-ever, was an Eastern man. He playedhalf back on the Yale team, but mar-ried a chorus girl from Sam Jack's andwas disinherited by his father, once awealthy Wall street broker, but now avender of shoestrings and 'tip,.' Theerring youth migrated to Mexico, andthere met an tld Mexican, shoe wtasfull of fever and tradition."'I am dying,' said the native, and

he added if lie had good luck heI wouldprobably reach the heaven of Spena-zuma. He imparted to the youth thesecret of Montezuma's wealth beforetaking his departure from earth, tellinghim the exact location nf this greatbank of gold. Was he dreaming.thought thet lenderfoot, or was the oldMexican dreaming? Not wishing torisk his precious anatomy in a sleuth-ing expedition for Spenazuma with acentury or two of pine whiskers onhis face, the young man imparted hisinformation to a 'Colorado mining ex-pert. The latter found the, spot in Ari-zona. It had been peopled by threefamilies.

"To continue this Monte Cristo story,the second chapter opens with the ex-pert finding everything except twothings-the image of Spenazuma andthe entrance to the mine. He found avein of ore located, according to thedescription given him, upward of 200feet wide and 10.000 feet long. the sur-face rock averaging from $10 per tooupward, Just as you blast it or quarryit out. Going a few feet farther oneither side of the gulch in the motn-tains, showed the doubling and treblingof gold, silver and copper. Taking hispoPition as near as he could for thit 20thtime at a spot designated ill the de-secription he had received, he lookedcarefully at the black side of the moun-tain, which was partially covered withtrees, which arose abruptly for hun-drrds of feet above the valley. Hesuddenly beheld something which al-most fastened him to tite earth. Hecould not speak. He looked and rubbhedhis eyes, and looked again. As histongue loosened. rising to his feet,he cried out: 'Eureka! I have foundti.'

"Prof. T. A. Halehu of Longhorn,Mont., programmed as the 'great goldand copper expert of two continents,'supports this story of ,old loontezumaet al. with his technical knowledge.Other 'experts' back him up, surpass-Ing him In point of technical informa-tion and boldly jumping into the verynightmare schteol of dreams, even pone-trating the chamber of horrors. Saysone expert:

"'I found one mountain occupyingthe center of your vein. 3,000 feet inlength, upward of 200 feet in width,and that the ore is exposed in thefgilehes to a depth of from 800 to 1,000feet;: will give you above water levelover 300,000,000 (three hundred million)tons.'

.The extent of this dream will be ap-preciated when it Is realized that run-ning a mill with a capacity of 500 tonsa day it would take 1,642 years to ex-haust this section of the claim, levelwith the gulch, and the washings wouldyield, at $10 a ton, (though the expertssay the ore will run $50 and upward),$3.000.000,000.o.

"Postoffire officials told the Man onthe Curb yesterday that there was nopostoffic(e at Longhorn, Mont., whencehails the mighty Halchu, expert.

"The promoters, directors and officersof the Spenazuma company are givenas follows:

"Directors-Thomas McEniry of FortThomas. Arizona; E. C. Watson of San-ta Fe., N. M.; C. G. Pillot of Houston,Texas: Walter S. Logan of New Yorkcity; C. Henry Mosher of Syracuse, N.Y.; Judge Dwight Loomis of Hartford,Conn.: William R. Whitehead of Tren-ton, N. J.

"Officers-William R. Whitehead,president: J. S. Manfull, treasurer; C.Henry Mosher, secretary: Thomas Me-Eniry, general manager: Logan, Dc-mond & Harby of New York city, at-torneys.

"The company has offices Nos. 914.915. 916. 916A. in the ('able building,No. 20 Broad street. It is a handsome-iy appointed establishment and givestone and dignity to the standing ofSpenazuma in the street, But thtblond young lady who imparted the in-formation to tile lan on the Curb that

all the officers were In Arizona 'de-"veloping the mine' looked rather lonelyas the sole occupant of such a gorgeousplace."

BABIES FROM THE CLOUDS.

Tile Arrival of Two Tsfants in tile Basketof a JIunaway Ballooll.

Willlarn Harvty and li tisnter, MissMary, living about six mlihls east ofRichview, Ill., tell a very interestingstory of themnselves, which happened anlumber of years ago.

They were quite small, tile hy ibe-ing about 5 and lis lsister 7 ' ealrs old].During the year 1858, while the statefair was being held at Central City, Ill..an aeronaut of Chicago mad(, an ascen-sion In a balloon at the stat" fair onSaturday morning, and his balloon camedown about six miles east of here. nearthe country residence of Willianm ar.vey, sr. The owner of the balloon, feel-ing chilled, went into the farmhouse to

twarm, and tied his balloon to a railfence near the barn. Little Willie andMary were playing near the barn. Theynotited the balloon tied to the fence,and, as they had never seen a balloon,they walkeds up to take a look at it. See-ing that it would go up a few feet andthen back again, they thought it wouldbe fun to get in the basket and ride.Mary helped her little brother in andthen she got. in. The balloon went upand down a while: then all at once itgave a lunge and pulled itself loosefrom the fence. UVp and np it went.with the little Harvey children in thebasket. The mother was looking outof a window. and seeing the balloon go-ing up told the aeronaut that his bal-loon hail got away from the fence, andthey all went out to see it. The nssmotblecame, and, as she watched the balloongoing up, she noticed some one in thebasket. Not once did ehe think it washer two little children, nor could she be-lieve it to be her two children when herhusband told her the children were no-where to be found.

A search was made all over the farmfor the missing ones, but without result.The father at once drove to Itome, ashort distance fromn his farm. and toldthe story. At once people followed afterthe balloon. It went north about fivemiles, then turned west, going overCentral City. Every one at the fair',thinking the aeronaut was making hisreturn, cheered and cheered as the hal-loon went over, Soon a telegram wasreceived at Central City stating thatthe balloon contained the two little chil-dren of .Mr. and Mrs. William HIarveyand to keep a lookout for it. But it wasgrowing late and the balloon was tra•-elling fast. Soon it was impossible tosee it. It went south, l:assed throughCentralia. Ill., then turned west againand went over Massoutah, Ill.. and thenturned and went over East St. Louis.

The Ittle boy began to get cold andcommenced to cry. Mary untied herapron and put. it around Willie's head,and he went to sleep in Mary's lap.About 7 o'clock the next morning theballoon came down in a large tree on afarm southeast of Mount Verllon, Ill.The owners of the farm, seeing the bal-loon in their tree, the lady of the housecri'ed out to her husband:"Oh, Johnl. Cod has sent its some chil-

iren in a basket."John got the children out of the tree,

took thelp into the house and after theywere nwantl asked Mary who her parent'were. She 'olad thenm, and the farmertook them home.Many iof the visitors to the state fair

in 1858 will remember the above storyand may be pleased to know that thelittle children who made this trip arenow living andt delight in 'telling it.-New Yolrk Sun.
