Alice mine, who h.s just returned from
Salt Lake City, informs the Telegraph
that unless the downward tendency Of
silver is soon arrested the Walker prop
erty will close until better prices pre-.
vail. The mining business says Mr..
Hall, sis just like any other industry
and must be made to pays no man will
operate at loss, lf,silyer had remained
at the price of year ago, the Alice
would have paid stockholders q divi-
dend, but as it has been they have not
received any return. There are some
mines that can still work to profit the
Granite Mountain, the. Victoria. and
Others which have high grade ores, but
We who are working seventeen ounce
rock at an expense Of $3.50 to mine and
mill cannot holl up under the depres-
sion of the market, However,, | hope
for better times, and if silver has
reached the bottom notch we are all
right, but if it goes lower the result will
be disastrous to onr enterprise and the
scamp.

sulphur almost stranged her; bntt.
through parlor and kitchen she fnlY
lowed the distant cllnk! clank! Of tha
chain, until she stood on the vide
south porch, peering into the vista AZ
moonlight beyond the great elms.
Something stood there sometime
tall and ghostly, clad in a windinss
sheet, surmounted by a grinning skull
whose empty sockets glowed asst With
fire. It waved it's sheeted arms Wild
ly, clanking the invisible chain; and
through it's misty figure the silver.
moon shone on bare ribs and yerta-
bra.
And what was that dark thing
crouching between the gnarled and
twisted roots OF the giant elms and
that shimmering line reaching the
ghosts left arm, on which the moon
light rested?
One fell, unexpected swoop, and
Aunt Trip had bounced like bird OF
prey on the lurking object. Some
thing snapped-the GHOST lay prone
upon the earth, and triumphant
voice broke the silence OF the autumn
night. II
AhoLc, Siit1Llev ~COh, you IL 1NlrlV
caught! Shame uponyou, you impious
young man, for trihing with TIE mys-
teries Of death! You would be rightly
punished if the real ghost Of that poor
lrishman should arise to haunt you.
Did you think to alright me with an
old gourd shell and that string OF
spools? Go to bed, sir, go to bed!''
And with this contemptuous iniunc-
ton she stalked majestically back in
to the house, while Rich and Della,
awakened by the chain and the groans,
had witnessed the whole scene from
their bedroom window, smothered
their laughter as best they might.
Charlie appeared at the breakfast
table as if nothing had happened. The
ehostly remains had disappeared, and
when Aunt Trib preached the subject
the scapegrace did not hesitate to al
firm most unblushingly that she must
have had the nightmare. He played
his part so vel! that Aunt Trib is not
sure to this day whether or not it was
all dream. She remained all winter
(though firmly believing the house to
be haunted), and Della won a box OF
delicious bonbons. The gourd shell is
hidden in the millet stack-all that
now remains OF the ghost OF Elm

He was the worst thief that ever
