why is it Judge that experts
have visited this country and
have condemned the idea of
gold being found herei"
That, sir, is easily explained.
An expert is one who defines a
thing by comparison, and when
he comes into a country or
formation wholly different from
any thing he has ever seen, he
has nothing to compare it to,
hence he condems it, oftimes
wholly for lack Of observation
on his part. This is, in my
opinion, the chief reason why
your mineral interests in this
country have not already been
developed to n paying basis.
Experts have rushed in here
and without understanding the
true character of this country's
formation, have ventured an
opinion without a basis for that
opinion, in which they have
condemned it by'a law of hui
man nature instead of by ex-
pert evidences, In other words,
to condemns the universal verdic
where have men Ifail to under
stand. And but for the fact
that the inhabitants of that Sec
tion had already been remuner-
ated for their work in digging
and washing it, and knew what
they were doing, it is more than
likely that these so-called learn
ed experts would have discour-
aged them forever.
! see a kinship clearly be-
tween the Rocky mountains
and the Arbuckle mountains,
the greatest difference being in
their ages, Arbuckles being
much the oldest have undergone
much greater surface changes.
This, however, does not effect
their contents"
What do you think of our
mining laws as compared with
those of the United States and
| Texasi"
Your laws are very liberal
andsthrow every needed security
around capital. There is, how
ever, one grave defect in your
mining laws here that is very
hurtful to your country. 1t is
this: Here a man may charter
a claim for twenty years and
then hold it for the full time
without doing any work on il
at ALL This is very hurtful to
your country. Your law ought
to be so amended as to make
men do a given amount OF
work on such claim every year,
or else forfeit it. SHch laws
would force the development OF
the country. The present sys-
tenn tends more to look it up
than it does to develop it."

slight deafness, made him appear
much older There was livid scar run
ming from his right brow to his chin.
1t had severed the eyeball, destroying
the eye, and left an ineffaceable cash on
the brown cheek
Among the people in the caravan
there was very general impression
that the scar and the lost eye were
chargeable to the military services in
which this strange man had won his
rank Captain Brandon's reserve
amounted to positive taciturnity, which
gave him the appearance Of coolness and
strength that attaches to most silent
men
Being adverse to speaking about him
self, there were plenty of imaginative
and voluble people to speak for him.
According to these authorities, Captain
Brandon had lived time out Of mind on
the western plains or in the snowy
mountains beyond What he did not
know about hunting and Indians was
not worth knowing, and there was a
very general belief among them that he
could walk blindfolded from the Atlantic
to the Pacific without once making a
misstep
But Captain Brandon was not the
ideal scout presented to us by the writer
Of western fiction His dress was not
that Of hunter, but was plain. suit
able to his work and well fitting. And
then, more remarkable still, he spoke
with the accent and language Of a man
Of good education, though there was in
his speech a noticeable softening Of the
letter "r" which is peculiar to the

Font Robb, to make sure Of getting
his own share, had carried large piece
of broiled venison in his hand, which
he began devouring the moment he
ceased speaking.
"Have any Of the scouts come in?"
asked Henry Kyle as he turned to walk
back to the fire with Tom Bliss.
"Black Eagle, the Shoshone, is back.
He says that Captain Brandon's party
is in camp on the Blue Water. I"
"Then he'll rest there for some days
before going on"
"Of course, Hank. AS there's no good
grass for 1870 miles to the west that's
what he'll do; but if he was only a
prophet or the son Of prophet, he'd
push ahead" said Robb
81 do not think he is gifted in that
way, but it won't do to underrate him
on that account I'd rather have any
man In the mountains opposed to me
than this same Captain Brandon, " said
Henry Kyle as they reached the circle Of
the outlaws about the blazing campfire.

CHAPTER IL

There was time when the hunters
and trappers were the real heroes Of the
far west These, even at the time Of
which I write, had given place to ad.
venturous miners and to class Of men
who were as bold in their defiance Of
law as were Robin Hood and his men
in the middle ages Henry Kyle and
Font Robb were men Of this class and
were we'll known to Captain Brandon
by reputation; but for reasons that will
be given hereafter, he permitted them
to accompany him, and though he knew
that they were stealing away in the
dead Of night-a most unnecessary pro-
ceeding, by the way-did not raise q
hand to stay them. They rode through
the mountains till daylight, when Henry
Kyle took his friends hand and said:
"Here we part for the present, Font
It is nearly a year since | have seen the
old folks, and am going home"
Il hope you'll find 'em all right, ,"
said Robb, adding, with a smile, II
hope they won't win you away from the
boys"
Without any comment, Henry Kyle
raised his bride arm and his splendid
horse darted away and was soon lost to
sight among the hills He rode until
the summer sun looked straight into the
deepest canyons and riffs Of that Won
drous land and flashed on a lake that
was walled in by mountains that rose
skyward like an impossible barrier.
Between the mountains and the lake
there was a belt Of valley many hun
dreds Of acres in extent, with clumps Of
trees here and there that gave it park
like effect There were cattle and sheep
in the meadows, and the emerald ex-
panse was scanned with sinuous streams
that flashed down from the distant snow
peaks and poured their cool trout filled
currents into the lake From one Of the
groves q pillar Of smoke arose, marking
the site Of human habitation When
Henry Kyle saw this, he left the trail
he had been following and galloped for
the grove. The cattle and sheep raised
their heads and looked after him in
wonder

clear space in the grove, and back Of
this was barn The surrounding gar
dens showed thrift, and the vines and
flowers indicated more refinement in

The state campaign meeting in
Yorkville last Saturday was mode
affair. There was only one drawback
and that was the inclement weather
Arrangements had been made to hold
the meeting out in the open air; but
on account of the rain it was necessa
ry to 20 to the courthouse. The crowd
was rather larger than was expected
1t came from all sections of the coun'
ty, and filled the building to its fullest
capacity, But it was quiet and order
|ly, and listened to all of the speakers
with respect and attention. And il
was quite critical too-more 80 than
any other crowd that has assembled
here under similar circumstances fol
years. 1t had its favorites of course
but aside from giving all the speakers
enough applause when they finished
to make them feel that their efforts
had not been altogether wasted, il
made no other demonstration except
when some of the speakers uttered a
particularly striking sentiment.
One pleasant feature of the meeting
was some exceptionally good music
1t was furnished by the Gold Hill and
Bethel bands. One band sat in one
Jury box and the other in the other
They played time about, and Prof
Herndon, who has given each more OF
less instruction, assisted them both.
The music that was rendered was very
much enjoyed by the audience and il
came in for good share of applause
To the regret of a great many peo
pie, all the candidates were not pres
ent. Judge Earle, Mr.. Harrison, Mr.
Whitman, General Richbourg and Mr.
Robinson had come up from Chester
the night before, and it was expected
that the others, most of whom had
been to the funeral of Miss Tillman,
would come up on the II o'clock train
The expectation, however, resulted in
little disappointment. Mr.. Duncan
and Generals Barber and Watts came
but Governor Evans and Messrs. FL
lerbe, Tompkins, McSweeny and Nor
tor failed to arrive./

Passed the Both Mile Stone.

Today one of our citizens, Mr.
mile stone in the journey of life. hav-
ing been born in the adjoining town OF
Sidney, September O. 1916. In May
1S32. he entered upon his apprentice

since been his home. In the autumn
of 1870 he and his partner, the late
Joshua l.. Heath, went to Charleston,

there was associated with him in the
business for about 20 years, the late
Joseph I'arnham.
The members of the present firm are:
c. Beale, F. II. Beale and f. F. Black
man. Several years ago the business
was enlarged by the addition of paper
hangings, curtains and other goods in
that line Mr.. Beale has the distinc-
ton of having been in business in Au
gusta for longer period than any
other citizen. Nearly, if not all, who
were his contemporaries in his earlier
business life have passed away, or re
tired from active life.
Mr.. Beale married in 1913. Miss A.
Amanda, daughter of John Read, Esq,
of Strong, and three years ago the 10th
of July, they received their friends on
the hfticth anniversary Of the mar
riage. Mrs. Bealc passed from the
earthly to the heavenly home on the
LIST of February, 1896. being preceded
there by one son and two daughters.
In religious preference Mr.. Beale has
been life long Methodist, and has al

choice. In political affiliations he was
formerly a Wing, but has been iden-
titled with the Republican party since
it's organization, and if he lives until
November. expects to cast his vote for
Mckinley and sound money.
He served at one time for two years,
as a member of the city council ana
has always taken a deep interest IN
everything pertaining to the welfare
of the city that has so long been his
home.
