How a Donkey 



Found a Mine 



The history of mine discoveries, in the 

 West, is full of strange and amusing in- 

 cidents. Many of the most celebrated mines 

 or ledges have been found by accident. Some 

 of these accidental discoveries are laughable 

 in the extreme. One of them occurred in 

 connection with the discovery of one of the 

 richest mines in the Cceur 'd'Alene country, in 

 Idaho. In this case a common donkey, or 

 jackass, or "burro," as one chooses to term 

 it, was credited with the finding of the mine. 



The Northern Pacific Railway's finely illus- 

 trated tourist book, Wonderland '97, has a 

 chapter on mining in the West, in which the 

 incident alluded to is given. It shows how, 

 from slight or trivial things, great results 

 may flow. There are also articles on Yellow- 

 stone Park, Alaska, Cattle Raising, etc. By 

 sending six cents in postage stamps to Chap. 

 S. Fee, Gen. Pass. Agent, St. Paul, Minn., 

 anyone can obtain a copy of this book. It is 

 full of historical fact and descriptive narra- 

 tive and is valuable as a school text-book.
