A LUCKY FALL.
Miss Doria Kemp is ono of tho
luckiest young women in the world.
She went out to sketch in tho hills of
old Mexico, and whilo looking for n
brook fell into a bed of gold nuggets.
Sho jumped from poverty to c m
parative riches in the twinkling of an
eve. Her find netted her $9,700.
Miss Kemp is now in Chicago on her
way to Paris, France, whero she pro
poses to study art in the h.pe of be
coming a grea painter. Hhe was in
Charharipari, a little settlement at tho
mountain's foot, six hard days' riding
from any railroad Hhe says:
"There was aomo magnificent
scenery near this quiet little place of
3 0 souls and 1 passed many a plea
sant day sketching. In this fashion a
month passed, and it became very
monotonous, and I began t) think of
going somcwhero where I might be
among white folks. Tho only Eng-lish-spenking
persons there were Mil
ler, Inndlor 1 of tho little hotel, nud
a little quaint Italian who was a handy
man for the more pretentious shops.
One afternoon I started out from the
town with my sketch-book under my
arm, and after a brief walk came to a
rolling, rather steep hill. CurioiiB to
see what was beyond I went on up and
over its brow. Before mo lay one of
tho wildest scenes I have ever soon
before or sinco.
"Tho tall orchnrd trees stood closo
together, slanting down the hill, the
top of tho Inst ones failing into tho
misty blue that filled tho basin of the
canon. Tho intersections wero filled
with a twining, twisting mnss of un
dergrowth, from which grew all sorts
of rare and beautifully colorod flow
ers, whilo on the sides of the two hills
to the left, standing out iu a menacing
splendor, were rocks of gigantic size.
Tho sound of a stream camo up to mo
from tho depths of bluo below. It
sounded tempting, and I stnrtud for
it. As I went on down the sides 1
toro my skirts in the jagged tinder
growth, but I kept on and marking
my way by breaking low limbs, Isoou
camo in sight of the stream, and was
turning to mako my way to tho left
to find a slant that would tako me to
tho bank of it, when I found myself
sinking down and dorn. I reached
out for something to clutch, but some
thing always gave way, and I finally
landed ou a sandy bit of bench in a
little covo that tho horizontal wall of
the mountain's base made at tho edge
of the stream. I was not hurt. My
fall bad been gradual. I had fnllon
through a growth that covered tho
aide of the hill above me fully thirty
foot I scannod the sidoa of the rock
that mado the covo. There was no
retreat that way. I lookod down tho
stream. Thore was a waterfall not
ten foet away, whoso distance I could
not moasuro, but it seemed as if it
was a great deal Up the stream it
oemed as bad ; the water was fully
twenty feet across and lookod dcop,
although here at the edges it was shal
low enough, but tho sharp projection
of stono stood well out into the water
and it meaut a wado of proportions I
had yot to ascertain.
"I secured from tho hillside a sinu
ous vine and made a rope, fastened it
to a solid point of the rock, and thon,
as it was early, I sat down to sketch
tho canon as it stretched away in the
blue depths I could see down over the
waterfall. I reclinod on the sand with
my back to tho hillside. While con
templating the view I absently picked
up pebbles and threw them into the
water. One of them I happened to
notice as I hold it in my hand. It was
of odd Bhape and peculiar color where
the dried earth didn't oover it. I
washed it off in the stroam. It look
ed auspiciously like gold. I looked
where I bad been sitting, and thore in
an oblong rift of the rocks was a hat
ful of just such clods as I held in my
baud. I had seen nuggets of gold,
but had never heard of them in such
quantities as met my gaze. Hoping
it was gold, but not sure, and with
thoughts of Monte Cristlike splen
dor iu my mind, I plaood those that
were loose iu a uluhe as high up tho
bunk as I oould reiclv and made my
way around the point of rook to find
a way home with the nugget securely
fastened iu my dross. Thn watur was
up to my shoulders, but I succeeded
in getting around then mnrklng tho
way carefully with bits of paper, I
mado up the hill again ami gained tho
house, much tho worse for wear. I
put on a dry dress, nnd seeking Mil
lor, showed him my Hud, asking him
with a calmness I certainly didn't feel
what it was. He acanuod it carefully,
nud saiil ;
" 'It's dirty good gold. Whero'd
you get it?'
"I rather stninmerod thnt I hnd
found it in tho creek's bed a short (lis
tnnco from tho house. Thoughts of
tho treasure, if it woro one, being
filched from mo caused this little de
ception. Ho snid further: 'It's purty
well mixed with dirt,' and then laugh
ingly: 'If you had a wheelbarrow lul
of bits liko this you could buy a
farm.'
' 'How much is it worth?' I asked.
" 'Oh, about ei.), I think.'
"I thanked him and went to my
room. To get tho rest of tho bits as
he called thorn, from whero they wero,
and tnko them s.r ly to a place where
I could dispose of them, gave me
much to think on. I did not care to
trust any one with my socrot, anil I
wanted to know the extent of my find.
The next day I was putting query af
ter query to Miller about placer min
ing. At night I was as far from know
ing what its extent was as could be.
After supper I resolved to try tho
Itnlian, who had taken aomo fanoy to
me, I thought, for having given him
several cast-off garmonts for his wife.
I found him, secured his services for
tho next day, making a tryst whoro he
was to moot mo with a pick, shovel,
bags, and ropo, and ou the way told
him of what I was about to do and
offered him 850 to assist mo to tho
railroad with what we might secure.
He swore by the Virgin ho would
never betray me. Wo mado our way
down to tho rock, and, fixing the rope
firmly, I went around, took tho tools
from him, nud then he en mo. I asked
him what ho know about plncer min
ing. He know considerable. I show
od him whero I found tho nuggets, or
rnthor tho clods, nud we went to
work.
"It was hard work, too. But after
eight or nino hours of picking I came
to tho conclusion that I had got all
there was out of tho rough gutter of
tho rock whore tho stream trickled
through. Wo hnd in all, at a rough
estimation, nbout eighty pounds of
dirt and gold, including thu loose bits
I hud concealed in tho niche. I could
not sco signs of any more. There was
no beach except whero I had stood.
Wo looked that all over and saw no
signs of gold. We dug down nnd
soon struck solid rock, and we con
cluded there was nothing more thnn
tho 'pocket.' We mado two packages
of the dirt, and with much effort I
helped the Italian to carry them up
tho hill. Wo left tho tools. Thnt
night I went to bis hotiso, guarding
my treasure. I sent a noto by him to
Miller telling him I would not bo at
homo, saying tho Italian's wife was ill
and thnt I would stay with her that
night. I had tho Italian securo mo a
cart and donkeys, and tho next morn
ing, with my fortune concealed under
the scat, I started with it for the near
est station, after settling with Millur
for my month's board.
"We reached tho station aftor a six
days' trip. I gave the Italian five or
six ounces of the most solid of the
stuff. I had the rest packed in a
stout box. While at the station I met
a travelling salesman, to whom I con
fided. Ho advised mo to tako it to
tho city of Mexico, I lacked $10 or
12 of hiving enough money to pay
my fare, but ho loaned it to mo, say
ing I could send it to him. I arrivod
safely in tho city, and with tho assist
ance of an American at tho hotel I
had tho stuff molted, and, after thu
customs and license were paid, it net
ted me 80,700. Ou the ndvioo of the
same gentleman I invested iu a small
oultivatod coffee plantation near Min
atitlau. It was profitable, and I have
boon thore sinco July, 1891, until the
fall of last year, when I sold my in

It is interesting to note that the sal
ary of the late Lord Chief Justice Col
eridge was 810,000 a year, whilo that
of the Chief Justice of the supreme
court of tho United States ia 810,000.
The difference between the salaries of
these two officials ia no greater, how
ever, than that between other high
officials in England and this country,
The lord chancellor receives 80,000 a
year while in office aud a pension foi
life of 83,000. The lords of appeal
get 830,000, aud all the other judges
825,000. The income of the British
attorney-general is at least 860,000 a
year, against a salary of $8,000 for the
nttorney-geuerul of the United States.
The latter ttguro is the salary of our
secretary of statu, while all the En
glish secretaries of state get $23,000 a
year, aud after terviug for a certain
time they are entitled to 810,000 a
year for life. Altogether it will be
seeu that the high officers in England
are very handsomely paid wheu com
pared with those iu this country, aud
the beuoh is about the beat-paid of all.
