One of the queerest etorlea I hear la that of the Dawr Horn mlae, which now belooge to Stratton and others. It waa local by an old carpenter named StarriU. Starrltt had heard of Stratton’s auc ceaa. and be knew that Stratton was a carpenter, to he thought If tbe luck waa ruonlog with Uta carpenter trade he would drop Ills i.tw and plane and go to mining. Ha was about 00 ymra of egv and he knew nothing about ora . or prospecting.
