ways removed people who could well be
spared and whose taking off actually i'm
proved society. While he could not be
tlassed as an eccentric, he had queer meth
OdS. For instance, when he came here he
had check on the bank. The banker
asked him to identify himself Mr. White
took the ace of spades from his pocket,
placed it in the muZZlG of his six shooter,
and resting the firearm on the shelf of the
cashiers window he offered to shoot his
identity through the bankers body. While
the offer was respectfully declined with
thanks, Mr.. White got his money. Again,
on the Southern Pacific road, when a con
GuctOr questioned his right to proceed Or
a LAY over check two weeks old, Mr. White
laid SO many guns and knives and Grgu-
mcnts on the seat beside him that he was
invited to ride the whole length of the
line on ticket calling for a trip of only so
miles. We not only attended his funeral
in person, but contributed half the eX-
pense, and we don't expect ever to be sorry
for it. We have few better men left, but
we are satisfied that he did the best ho
could under the circumstances.
ABOUT DIVIDENDs.-TH KICKER Is in
receipt of letter from widow in ST.
Louis who says that she holds SIS, 900 worth
of stock in the Deep Gulch silver mine and
wants to know what is being done and
why her dividends are not forwarded. We
will cheerfully respond with such informa-
tiion as we have been able to collect up to
date. The Deep Gulch mine was located
by a man who called on us at subsc-
quent date to explain that he intended to
devote at least half the output to supply
ing the African heathen with plug hats,
russell shoes and blue glass spectacles. Ha
was juicy talker and induced US to in
vest 81, 600 in his mine, agreeing that our
dividends should be at least 90 per cent,
exclusive of the African pull. 4 fe;.
weeks later, after riding over to Deep
Gulch and finding nothing but the gulch
there, We went to Tucson and called on
the gentlemen referred to. He not only sent
us word thar he was out, but escaped
by the back door and gave us a gallop of
10 miles to Overtake him. When we finally
brough% him to bay, he counted out our
money and dividends in such hurry that
We found Curself $50 ahead of the game
We hadn't any particular business with
him after the transaction had been con-
cluded and so did not interfere with his
progress toward sunrise. If the St Louis
widow or any other widow or person own
ing shares in the Deep Gulch mine will
come out here, we will take great pleasure
In showing them the aforesaid gulch, but
as TO the mine, and the president and
the board Of directors and dividends the
trail is too old to follow. We have consid-
eraEle 10 do with mines, and we have
made some money in that sort of specula-
ton, but ii has always been because we
happened to be on she ground just before
the fellow was ready to leave the country
and Just at = time when he didn't want to
stay 70 be buried at our expense
