A Miners Cabin Tale and Odd Anecdotes From Tennessee
A rustic miners gathering recalls tales of Bill Howe killed in seventy six and a man whose eye grew a maple tree from a cinder in a drunken episode. Bob Jones later shows a cinder eye story and a sapling cure. The piece surveys overwork and dissipation, noting its dangers and contrasts with labor, amid scattershot notes on mercury vapor in machinery and a Tribune report on miners flocking to a rich region.

A retrospective account recalls Leadville once a desert mining camp with fifty residents and rough frontier days. It traces growth from 1860s placer strikes to a later population surge, the influx of gamblers and traders, and the shift to regular nightly closures as business maturity set in.
