T, MANALAN, ALL GOOD JUD WHISKY But Even Kentuckians Sometimes Dif feras tothe Quality of the Samples. “We have some queer cases to adjust in this branch of the service,” said an official of the internal revenue bureau to a Washington Post reporter. *I never thought before that there any doubt about a thorough Kentuckian's ability to judge good whisky, but it seems that things have come to such a pass out in Breathitt county, that state, thata num- ber of the citizens there deem it neces- sary to make afiidavits to the fact. Some time ago a small distillery in Breathitt county was destroyed by fire,and a ques- tion arose as to the payment of the gov- ernment tax on about 800 gal- lons of liquor. There was also a dispute as to the quality of the stuff, ana the de- pariment has been deluged with evi- dence of one kind and another. “*What has amused us all so much is that in the various aflidavits submitted these Kentuckinns, with scarcely an ex- ception, have decmed it necessary to areall good judges of swear that they whi *Ther wotheraffidavit from a man who states that the morning after the fire he rode his horse along the rond he was in the hubit of traveling very often, and abouta mile below the spot whet the still formerly stood the animal wa accustomed to drink water from th creek, *“I'he horse had never before failed to drink at that place,hut on th wticular morning he elevated his nose in the air and positively refused to touch one drop of the fluid becavse it was impregnated.

He s 1 was a child of the streets myself one was n New York waif. My mother died when I was born and mv father when I was four yc old. Well, the New York children’s aid society took care of me, and when T was cight yearsold they sent twenty-four of us out to Indinna. and I was placed on a farm, When I was twelve years old [ went into the army as u druimmer boy, If there ave any - wen in the world for whom I have o profound respeet they are men who are providing homes for the home- less little ones, and any time I cando anything for the waifs I want you to call on me, says: 1 lucky Miners Rewarded, Matt and Pat Condon have been min- in the past ten yeare- says ke Tribune. Few men have done havder work or stuck closer toa mining camp than these brothers have to Tintic, and few have had a more abiding faith in the final outcome of eral district. They still own somo claims there one of which promises well, They did own a group of claims joining the Centennial-FEurcka on its south end and extending over south aevoss the summit for nearly o mile. The group consists of the Belcher, Lucky Jack, Rosa, Red Pepper, Cane, Motliet and Cont Some time ago they agreed to give one-fourth interest in ch of these eight claims to New York parties if they would sink e shaft 700 feet deep or run a tunnel in 700 feet, just us was deemed best. The part started in to sink a shaft on the Belcher and put in some machinery for that pi pose. In November last they took a bond on an another one-fourth interest in these claims for $23,000 and later they got an option on theone-half for 100,000, Last week they closed the contract and paid the first $10,000 in cash, The new owners are to go ahead and develop the property and pay a royalty on all ore extracted until the mines ave paid for. The Condon brothers thus get 123,000 for the eight claims besides what they may receive in royalties up till the final payments are made. Lying as this pr ty does on the Centennial-Eureka oxtension and running off towards the Mammoth, with ore on the surface run- ning 40 t0 50 ounces silver, it certainly promises well for becoming a gredt mine, The vein crops out 200 feet wide and can be traced out all of 4,000 feet. Shafts have been sunk at five different places to a depth of eighteen to twenty feet, in euch place exposing good ore. Mnlllllllll 15 Growing.
