SAM CLEMENS. morist's Lite in Nevada. | A Gambler's Story Abont the Hue [ San Fra i8co Chroniele Mining camp journalism is erotwded with experiences the city newspaper wots not of. He of the mining camp journal knows nothing of *‘details, “‘beats,” “‘scoops,” “‘watches,” earl or late; or of “*boiling,” “‘amplifying,” “'shooting rot,” and many other ex igencies, requiroments and necessities connected with the lot of the city newspaper man, Talking with & mem- ber of his fraternity from the aurifer ons, a Chronicle reporter the other evening heard the following | stery about two well-known Nevada characters I met them in Aurora, Nev., about three years ago when that mining camp was in the first flush of its second attack of the quartz fever. Long Bill, I had learned, was a well disposed and amiable citizen who dealt in faro in good times and mducted the guileless Piutes in the mysteries of poker and other ethics of a higher civilization in the interims, in return wherefor they supplied his larder with quailand rab- bit and his purse with such scarce coins as they could steal. Hearing, also, that he had ‘‘eabined” with Mark Twain when that self-accused humorist a luckless prospector in the hills of Nevada, I was \L‘:\sml to find him my companion one Jhy o't outside seat of the Bodie stage, “You knew Mark Twain?" I sug ed to my companion when he had loft the town, and the horses had settled into their dreary, between-station am Clemens?” ““‘Yes, I believe he was called that then.’ ““‘Wasn't that his name?” “So it was.” “Yes, T knew Sam him in '62, or, mebb *‘I suppose Mark " “Sam?” ‘‘Sam was very popular here; jolly, and all that, eh?” “Well, no, I can’t say Sam was very popular with the boys here, though he did cabin with me. He kinder had a way of forgetting the boys who staked him that didn’t wash well. Sam was the means, though, and it was rather curious, too, of mak- ing the most unpopular man, in town popular.” ‘“How was that?” “Wall, you see Cluggage he owned the stage line between here'n Carson, and he played it rather low down on the boys; brought ’em in here for 825, and charged 'em 875 to return. When the boys got broke, which they most- ly did, for they would play agin the bank, it was a pretty tough game to get out of town. Well, Sam he wanted to go back to some of his folks in Carson, but somehow he couldn’t see Cluggage’s limit. That vas the state of the game when it was given out one night that Gluggage had presented Sam with a free pass to Carson. You never saw anything like the way Cluggage rose in favor that night, and the next morning half the town was down to the stage office and gave the driver a big cheer when the stage, with Sam inside, pulled out.” We rode on in silence for some time Cabined with lafter that, ghhile T considered Billy's ntory—nr'}tnmm-pfimmsf 1w, un til just as we entered a broad portion of the canon, dignified by the name of “‘Sunshine Valley,” when Bill asked * Caledonia " J, FALCONER, 679 16th Strect.

T recovered enough to make a desperate attempt at factiousness, and asked: ‘‘Where was the one before the last killed?” ‘‘Oh, he was killed back in town in a bar-room fight; but the one before him, who was the first, wasn’t killed.” ““That was too bad.” “‘Yes; the fellow he offended meant well, but only shot him through the ankle.
