THE WHITEST MAI IN THE MINES. Jim Moore was one of the most widely-known, characters in the great Carbonate Camp during the winter of *78-9, and his popularity did not wane to any perceptible extent until the first week in March, 188 ', when he joined the church, forsook politics, and per­ mitted the Democrats to elect a Mayor and two of the six Aldermen which com­ prised the Common Council of Lead- ville. CoL. Jim was not handsome by any means, but what he lacked in per­ sonal appearance was made up for in greatness and kindness of heart. He stood stood five feet nine inches in bare feet and in his knee-top patent-leather boots he was a good inch taller. His weight never exceeded one hundred and forty pounds; yet he was an athlete and boasted of museleS that were at? hard as iron. No one know hie age, but his home had once been in Evunsvilie, Ind., and he was intimately acquainted with Frank M. Gilbert, one of the brightest editors of that little Hoosier city and was never so happy as when narrating some boyish fiasco wherein Gilbert was one of the principal characters. His forehead was high and narrow, hair so black that it glittered in the light of day, eyes of the color of steel gray, nose a decided pug, mouth as large as Emily Soldene's, lips almost as thin as paper, teeth irregular and ghastly white, and under jaw massive, cheek bones prominent as mi Indian's, and his smooth- shaveu face was as sallow as though he had wrestled with chills and fever in the lowlands of Arkansas from the day of his birth. Uy avocatioa Jim Moore w.*s R gam­ bler. He found his way to Leadviile in November, 1878, and took rooms on Lower Chestnut, street, his meals at the Ton- 1 tine restaurant, and dealt faro in the Texas saloon -on Harrison avenue. The first day in •camp no one paid him a second thought, .and his .table was patronized by strangers alone. The second day June liichards, the camp bully, cinirged him with turning "top and bottom." Jim was shuffling the cards, preparing for a fourth deal, and he promptly knocked liichards down with the heavy silver box. When the bully returned to consciousness he saw that Jim had procured a fresh box aud was dealing as though nothing had occurred. The -crowd fall back in anticipation of an exchange of pistol-shots, but JRichards remarked that lie wa« no hog, knew when he had enough, and left the house to spend his money in the Little Church saloon. •On the fourth day of Jim's sojourn in owmp a reckless prsopector by the name of Mooney, who had backed the seven- spot heavily to lose when the seven won, called the man from Indiana a tin­ horn gambler, and threw his heavy oowie-knife across the lay-out. .Jim could not wink at such a breach of eti­ quette, aud shot Mooney through the heart without rising from his chair. An inquesf^as held, and, as all the gentle­ men present at the time of the shooting prdnounced it an act of self-defense, Jim was back at the table, dealing, within A few hours following the tragedy. This event sent his stock away above par, and from that day he was recognized on the street by the first gamblers of Colorado. In the meantime a Methodist parson had come to the mines, and was en­ deavoring to raise a sum of money sufficient to build a ptaoe of worship. Jim cpiled on the parson, extorted a promise from him that he would not play faro, keno or draw-poker, nor be too hard oo the sporting men of the camp--and then set about taking np a collection. He prepared a list, sub­ scribed $50 by way of a beginning, and then circulated the paper around the saloons and gaming tables, swearing that any sport who declined to chip in was no friend of Jim Moo re'a. The re­ sult was that Leadviile possessed a church before Christmas. He attended the dedicatory services, led in singing and passed the hat around twice, once before the sermon and once following it. On the following Sabbath Jim was not at church, and in the afternoon the par­ son called at the Texas House to inquire if Mr. Moore was indisposed. He found Jim dealing, and a throng of miners about the table. " No foolishness here, parson," said Jim sternly, as he paused with his fingers on the soda card. "Certainly not. I shall not inter > nviDuij; vuia UIVJJ>uiu^ < "No," said Jim, slightly mollified, " and i expect your hat came back ' light. I wanted to come down and take part, but a $2,000 sucker from Virginia Uity cnanced m, and , you know I had to accommodate him." The saoerdotal laborer took his de­ parture, afier declining several invita­ tions to drink from gentlemen in the crowd who recognized him, and never again called around to ascertain what cause had detained Jim Moore from at­ tending morning service. It was in these early days that claim and lot jumping flourished in Leadviile. 11 a man, alter toiling for weeks or months in a small shaft, chanced to strike it rich, tidings of his good luck would spread through the camp like wild lire. In their greed for carbonates, many men would forget their once-poor companion had delved in the hard stone and fireclay until he had fairly won his prize, and their ruling thought was through what agency he could be dis­ possessed and his paying claim relocat­ ed. Claim jumping finally became quite a science, and mines had to be guarded night and day. As the price of real es­ tate advanced in the camp, lot jumping became quite lastuonabie, and as a half- dozen land companies set up claims to the ownership of every foot of ground between the Arkansas aud the First range on one hand, and Cali­ fornia gulch and Tenn^ss^e Park on the other, the only bill of sale recog­ nized as genuine was a Winchester rifle gad a pair of self-cocking revolvers. There was seldom ah hour in the day or night that was not broken by an ex­ change of rifle and pistol snots over t some disputed mining claim or staked- off lot in the heart of the young city. Might in those days made right; there was no law, and an occasional lynching bee only served to incite men on to more cruel and daring extremes. The camp at this time contained about 10,000 souls, and when I write that of this number at least two-fifths were gam­ blers, thieves, highwaymen and assas­ sins I simply state facts. Men who en­ dured so mauy Uardsnips aud lived up in the heart of the Rocky mountains two miles above the level of the sea, forgot all except that they must acquire riches, and it was immaterial to them how they became wealthy. Every base passion was quickened "to such an ex­ tent that the old adage of " honor among thieves " was even forgotten. Now afi is changed, and the only monuments to the winter, spring and summer ot 187a in Leadviile are two well-filled ceme­ teries. • On the corner of Harrison avenne and State street an old withered hag of a washerwoman from Denver, by the nam# of Ray, had pitched her tent. A dwarfed Kne stood about the center of three ts she had staked off, and this pine was made to do service as a center-pole for her canvas mansion. The desirable location of these lots excited the cupidi­ ty of four professional lot jumpers, and " Mrs. Kay must emigrate. ' One Febru­ ary night Jim Moore placed a brother dealer in his chair and walked out on the street for exercise and a breath of the pure oold air which sweeps down from Bnow-capped mountain tops. He had been dealing steadily for seven hours, and the fumes of liquor and smoke in the gaming room had served to make him weak and dizzy. As he strode up Harrison avenue, in the direc­ tion of Capitol Hill, it seemed to him that he had stepped into another clime. The niglit was intensely cold, and small particles of snow and frost were borne upon the bosom of the blast which raged from the west. They came with stinging force, and were so fierce that the streets were almost deserted. Jim Moore paused. The blast had borne to his ears an unusual sound. It was a woman's shriek for help. He had arrived at the corner of Main street, and, turning, beheld a tiny tongue of flame a block below. A shanty on fire was his first thought, but by the time he gained tue Chronicle office he saw that it was Mrs. Ray's tent. The tarred can­ vas burned fiercely, and by its light he saw four men and recognized them as lot-jumpers. One had choked the old woman nigh unto death, and his com­ panions stood by, pistols in hand, to prevent any attempt on the part of a couple of pedestrians, who had halted across the street, at extinguishing the flames. On the ground was a tent which they had brought with them, and it was their intention to eject the wash­ erwoman by an incendiary act and then take possession of the vacated lots. The man from Indiana understood the situation at a glance, and, with a few quick bounds was, within the glare of the burning tent. Two shots were fired at him by the lot-jumpers, and then he returned their fire. At the first report of his .pistol one wsut down with a bul­ let hole in the center of his forehead, and the next moment his companion was also lying in the snow with a shattered thigh. By this time a dozen men were on the scene, and -the remaining two backed off in the direction of the rude Theater Comique, with pistols standing at fttU cock. When Mrs. Ray realized that she had been saved, she wont down upon her knees to the courageous gambler who had eome to her rescue. " I.don't know your name," she cried, in deep tones of emotion, the tears all the while coursing down her wrinkled and weather-stained faoe ; "but one thing I do know, God bless you! You are the whitest «nan in the mines ! " Several citizens assisted Jim in erect­ ing the lot-jumpers' tent tor Mrs. llav, and tlren the undertaker was summoned to remove the dead body. The wounded man was conveyed to his cabin on Low­ er Chestnut street, and he was advised to leave the camp as soon as he could travel. Henceforth Jim Moore was uni­ versally spoken of as 41 tlia whitest man in the mines," and Mrs. Ray was never tired of singing his praise. The washer­ woman is now quite wealthy. A few weeks following the destruction of her tent jhe tiold one of tiie k>U for $14,000, and with this sum erected commodious buildings on the remaining two, which yield a handsome rental. My second night in the Carbonate camp a friend asked if I knew Jim Moore. He remarked that I must mske the acquaintance of the whitest man in the mines before I could hope to enter Leadville's best society. We strolled down from the Clarendon Hotel to tke house where Jim presided over a faro lay-out, and I was introduced as " the new editor of the ChronAorle,." Moore scrutinized me an instant with his hard, steel-gray eyes, and then gave me a hand-clasp which brought tears to my eyes from its severity. He smiled at my wince of paon, and, as he drew in a stack of blues from the queeo-ten, said, addressing me: " Where from?" " St. Louis," I answered, M tersely as the question had been put. "ftood enough." was his response, and he went on between cards asking question after question as to people whom he had known in that city. Desirous of gaining his good-will I placed a $10 note on the ace, playing it open. " Please don't do it," said he. " It breaks me all up to have friends play at my table. If you want $50 or $100 take it out of the drawer, but for God's sake don't play faro !" When the Vigilantes were organized against the leeches of the mines, who re­ joiced in the title of "The Law and Order Abiders," Jim took no part. " It ain't my funeral," he exclaimed. "1 can't shake the boys, nor I can't go back on the good people here. So 1 guess I'll take a reserved seat on the fence and pass myself off for a states­ man." The rough element concluded in No­ vember, 1879, that Leadviile had nc need for newspapers, and in accordance the proprietors, publishers, editors and reporters of the three daily papers were ordered out of town. The outlook was decidedly unpleasant, for, while men felt loth to desert their property, they knew that their lives were imperiled by re­ maining. I paid a visit to Jim Moore and briefly explained the situation. "I catch on," said he, "and I shall slide down from the fence. I propose to deal faro in this camp until I get ready to leave, and if any one dared to interfere with me there would be a cir­ cus and menageiie turned loose in fifteen seconds; and they have actually ordered the newspaper men out of town?" he half questioned, "and still they call themselves sports." He practiced a new shuffle for a few minutes, then, tossing his cards into the drawer, said: " Go back to the boys and tell them to scribble their lies in peace. I shall pay a visit to the Law and Order Add­ ers and convince them in a very/'few minutes that newspapers are the sta­ tion of this mining camp." S. That night the roughs held a meeting, and when the whitest man in the mines Btrode into their midst and took a seat on the platform he was cheered heartily. He announced the object of his call briefly and emphatically, and swore by all the hoop poles in Posey county that he would shoot the first man who went fooling around a newspaper office or gunning for newspaper men. He was respected and feared by all the knaves, ana nothing more was said about destroy­ ing the newspaper offices until the Vig­ ilantes captured Stewart and Frosham and hanged them to the rafter of a build­ ing in course ot erection. " The newspapers did not hang them," said Jim Moore, " it was the Vigilantes." "But did not the papers counsel lynching us V" asked the leaders of the Law and Order band. 44 What if they did ?" was Jim's reply. " Ain't this a free country, and don't the constitution provide for a free press ? Of course it does, and I just feel like shoot­ ing somebody who wants to insult the constitution and the Americas flag." When one of Wall <5r Witter's stages capsized a few miles below Leadviile, and Rev. Mr. Pickett, who was riding in the boot with the driver, was crushed to Jim swore that " the parson had sn a t*nnc«v and subscribed JUberaliy toward defraying his funeral. But the Saturday night that Jim con­ cluded to quit dealing faro and go to preaching will long be remembered in Lake county, Col. He stopped in the middle of the deal and removed the cards from the box, explaining that all bets were off, that the cases were off, and that he had dealt his last card. "What is the matter, Jim?" cried a dozen in one voice. "Nothing," he replied, " only that 1 have concluded that preaching, and not dealing, is my trade. You may call me 'Jim,' and the 'whitest man in the mines,' to-night, but hereafter you must always address me as Mr. Moore." The proprietor of the house endeav­ ored to induce Jim to remain, but he was firm in his intention. "You might offer me $1,000 a min- mte," said he, " and it would not influ­ ence me in the least. I have done a ter­ rible lot of harm guiding the Royal Ben­ gal, and now I intend to do a |>owerful lot j)f good. Barkeeper, drinks for the house at my expense." Jim Moore did some missionary work in Leadviile. His sermons were always brief but forcible, and were interspersed with slang phrases acquired at the gam­ ing table. About the 1st of April, 1880, he set out for Gunnison City, on snow- shoes. saying that hp " felt called upon to wrestle with the Gunnison heathen. " He did not arrive at QKinnison, nor did he return to LeadviUe. His strange disappearance was unaccounted for un­ til the following Jnly_ whp.n bold pros- lectors penetrated the gulches on Tay- " - L b ™ the deep fissures, they found a lor river above Ruby camp. one of the deep fissures. human body, it was still frozen, and decomposition had not set in.

How to Lift a Thousand Pouwfc. D«mb-bells weighing not over five pounds each are reoommended, which should be used regularly every morning an -evening for half an hour for & year. By this time it will be found th«t the muscles of the arma, legs and body will have increased very much and become exceedingly firm and hard. When tliif- coniition has bee» acquired, then, and not till then, 6an a man think of lifting hea-v v weights ; for if he cannot get hit- muscles aud nerves in tins healthy con- ditien he can never become a lifter, even with years of practice, as «t take? strength as well as slight to lift a heavy weight. Some very good authorities recommended lifting at the commence­ ment, adding that " you must not lift too much." But how can inexperienced handslell what is too much before they find "themselves permanently injured ? After the year's exercise with dumb­ bells or otherwise, «s previously sug­ gested, then a man who is not ruptured or otherwise injured can commence a systematic course of lifting, starting with not o*er one hundred pounds, which he can lift as many times a day *s he ie disposed to do for one month. He can then add another fifty pounds to the weight to be lifted during the second month's exereise, and so on, adding an additional fifty-pounds weight each month for twenty mouths, then be will be able to lift the great 1,000 pounds without any danger of injuring himself. This is a general rule, and a result any man with a sound body can reach if he only fnllowa the prescribed course, and never tries to overdo the thing. If the weight will not come up withont too much strain, stop, for it is too heavy for yon at that point of your training. To lift correctly and without danger a person must stand erect, the heels on the •same line, the tows turned out, the shoul­ ders thrown back and the body resting •quarelv on the hips--the arms hanging down by the sides. The legs should tlien be bent merely enough to enable the hands to grasp the handles or rings of what yon are to lift ; then lift bv merely straightening the legs, and not by the arras or bo<lv. If yon have to ^ strain, and the weight dons not come u|> ' freely, then you are attempting too much, and should try a lighter load. When you have become strong enough to lift ( one thousand pounds yon are in reality a strong man, and should be perfectly satisfied to let well enough alone, for of all who attempt to exceed that point there is not one man in one hundred who, ! at some time or other, does not injure himself for life. Some few do not, but they are rare exceptions.--Exchange. Tree Growth and the Flint Look. A correspondent in the Chicago Inter- Ocean says : I see it stated that the growth of a young tree never gets any higher from the ground, but I think I can cite two positive facts to the con­ trary. 1. Some person put a circular flat stone about two and a half inches broad and one and a half inches thick, tapering to a round edge, between forty or fifty years ago, into the crotch of an apple tree, and when it was put there the top of the stone was about level with the crotch of the tree, and now on one side or edge of the stone the wood is five or six inches higher than the stone, and on the other side of the stone seven or eight inches higher. 2. Forty-six or forty-seven years ago my brother hung about six inches of a deer's horn in the crotch of a beech tree, and the tree was cut down last winter, and the horn was imbedded in solid wood which had united eight or nine inches above the horn, so that if another horn had been hung in the same place it would have hung eight or nine inches above the first. A few words in regard te^ the flow of sap in the maple tree: When a maple tree is cut into to get the sap, in order to make sugar, the sap will flow up and down until the warm weather will stop the flow. The flow may be cheeked in the upper pnrt of the tree first, because it vfrill be effected by the heat first. After the sap has done flow­ ing in the spring there will be no per­ ceptible flow up or down until the tree is frozen again. The leaves of the tree don't put out until after the sap has done flowing perceptibly. Now a little in regard to the old flint look. When I was a boy I used to play with a flint and jack-knife, with which I prodneed sparks, the largest of which would fall perhaps two feet from the flint. Now if these sparks had been caused by burning gas, I think they would have gone up instead of down. Our theory for the sparks going down, is the flint pares off small particles of steel, which are heated by friction. Now if the atmos­ phere of the earth and sun are so dense as to cause such a tremendous repressive force the moon having to pass through the atmosphere of one or the other would be retarded in its motion. As far as we are able to observe, the earth's atmosphere has a tendency to retard the motion of anything passing through it. RESTORED IKOn A DECLINE XOUTK GREECE, N. Y., April 25, 1SS0. Da. li. V.

The small boy's idea of gennto* Icomfort and happiness was to be pitched into a pondof ice cream who*8 shores were made of sponge cake. His misery was the absence of thee* pleasant substances. That boy simply represents humanity. Comfort is ep> prei iated by contrast--we enjoy 8 thing in proportion to our < oncepthw of the disadvantages of our dcpriV8» tion thereof. This applies to materiel tl.ings as well as to immaterial <OB- i<ierations. The icicle, who.«e ap- tearance in the wintry cold and tieakness sends the shiver of discoaa- fort through the observer, would sujp- rest notions of the coolest comfort fit :iot and sultry davs of the summer tason. And in both seasons--that n which the icicle flourishes beat r> i i-l in the one wherein its absence ie onspicuous--that most uncomforte- le and torturing disease, rheumer tism, plentifully abounds, causing pain and agony to myriads of people. And yet it need not be thus afflictive if sufferers would only use SR. JACOBB OIL, the surest, safest and speedieat remedy in the whole world for the eradication and cure of rheumatism and all painful ailments. The follow­ ing from the Rochester (Ind.) Sentfmdk attend to their shows how some people i rheumatism: " When ft young hue- band had gone from home, and with fond solicitude telegraphed his little wife--' What have you for break and how's the baby?' he received tbe brief,practical ana suggestive reply-- 'Buckwheat cakes and the measlee.' We have the report of a case in onr midst, not where measles was in the bill of fare, but where sciatic rheusuk tism confined Mr. J Damson, the well- known Koch ester druggist, to hia room for a long period. It was stated to our reporter in the following worde: ' The senior member of this firm wee attacked with sciatic rheumatism alniut December 10th last, and for four weeks succeeding Feb. 10th, coold scarcely leave his room. He used ST. JACOBS OIL, and IS now able to beet bis place of business, feeling not much the worse for his recent affliction. The inference is convincing. The run which ST. JACOBS OIL Is having is, we say, unpr ecedcnted, and the ar­ ticle is rapioly displacing all other rheumatic remedies as fast as its yir> lues become known. "Edgar T. I'ai^e, Esq^ druggist, writes us from Chicopee Falls," says the Springfield (Mass.) RepubHom, "that Mr. Albert Guenther, under Wild's Hotel, has used that re marker ble remedy, ST. JACOBS On., for a severe ease of rheumatism, and it cured hia as if by magic." Free I--A Mnsieal Journal. Address F. Brehm.EripJPH' CC COD P«r day at boms.

Some of the reasons why men catcb cold and find premature graves : Living nine-tenths of their days in the house; breathing house air; bleaching in the house, and getting thin and sallow in the house. Sitting down to eat, tired and perspiring, and then wondering why nothing "touches the right spot" and one's food seems to do no good. Soaking and scrubbing oneself to death in dailx li#t baths. Taking a health papei and trying to live up to its directions. Going to bed hungry. Getting crazed with an idea that it is unhealthy to eat nights. BY contracting a severe Cough and Cold, I WAS compelled to give np my daily work and keep to the home. A neighbor recommended me to try & bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup; it was procured and used ; to my astonishment relief was instantaneous. EDW. W. CLAYTON, Waverly, Md. DB.
