Behind the names of many of the mmiug claims and mines of every mm iug district iu the west there lies n ivc"i!;!i of romance and history, both paihetlc and ludicrous. The Black Jiilis furnish as many and as good ex amples of the peculiar circumstances under which many claims are named as any locality hi the country. O n- of the best known mines in the | soiiiii ru hills is ti e Iloly Terror. Back iti llie sarly days this claim was Io eated by an old miner who had work- I ! some JIM. without success. The mini was a hard one to work. When i .e man v. Nt home in the evening \r locath his cla!;n his w'"i> asked ' i what he mimed it.
