A WOMAN MINER. ,
Fame and Fortune Won by Her
Courage.
The Widow of Former Army ON
Ger Who Knows How to Take
a Care of Herself-Her Work
ts In the Mine.

GiooIners have brought about the for
tune OF at least one woman. She is
Mrs. Arthur Rigdon, of Pearl, Idaho,
q mining ledge which has proved a
bonanza.
Mrs. Rigdon is the only woman in the
camp. The woman lights Claim"
was secured by Mrs. Rigdon by location
that is by stalking Off" This claim
l. $500 feet long, GOO feet in width, and
L. the most valuable piece of property
in that region. Mrs. Eigdon secured it
/, Ave years ago. The Groupings" were
plainly visible and at the time there
were comparatively few miners there.
Experts who have examined Mrs. Rig
don's claim assert that she will be q
millionaire in years time. The for
tunate woman miner is the widow of q
British army officer. She is highly in
tellectual and has made q thorough
study of mining. She was left widow
seven years ago, and it was then that
she conceived the idea of putting her
knowledge to some practical use. Her
decision to settle at Pearl was made
after she had visited several other
western mining camps, and as soon as
her claim was "staked" she had it re-
corded. Then it was that her hard
work began.
Day after day this strange woman
may be seen descending into her mine,
only to come again to the earth's sur
face covered with dirt, but always with
q face glowing with enthusiasm.
When the report was spread about
that Mrs. Rigdon was wearing "trous-
ers" and working in the mines like a
man the women folk of the surround
ing country were shocked, and many
were the stories that passed from lip
to lip. Now all this is changed.
While there is much jealousy over the
rich find in the "Woman's Rights
Claim" there is at least one man who
Is delighted with the widows prize. He
is known as Creeping JIM" and was a
short while ago one of the biggest bull
lies in this section. He was shot into
better manners. This happened over a
year ago.
Mrs. Rigdon was about to lower her
self down the shaft of her mine when
Jim approached and asked permission
to make descent. Mrs. Rigdon con-
sented, and the two were lowered to-
sether. Hardly had they reached the
bottom of the shaft when Jim rushed at
the widow and attempted to overpower
her. Mrs. Rigdon always carries re.
volver. Quick as flash she stepped
aside, and in another instant she had
sent two bullets into the big miner.
He dropped like an OK, one bullet hav.
ing penetrated his brain, the other hav.
ing taken effect just below the right
knee. Mrs. Rigdon was hoisted to the
surface, and later Jim was hauled up.
Since that time he has been one Of the
widows most ardent admirers.-N. Y

GREAT DAY FOR HIM.
There Have Been Others Like Him,
Only They Don't Tell.

There Have Been Others Like Him,
Only They Don't Tell.
'I'm one of the men that proposed by
letter." admitted the captain, who came
out of the war to successfully win in the
harder struggle of the business world.
Though bashful youth think I
would have mustered courage to have
put my fate to the test in the usual
way, but 1 was way up in the north
west when letter from my adored was
received, and one of it's sentences gave
such an inviting opportunity to say that
would like to marry her that could
not resist. OF course, I'll never know
whether woman's wit prepared that
welcome opening.
"But when her letter of acceptance
came was thrown into state of total
irresponsibility The tidings Of great
joy was too much for me. In trying to
get out of the post office fell over a
Newfoundland dog and grasped a pretty
young lady to keep from falling. This
seemed to me an act OF treason and my
apology was so confused that she put
me down as intoxicated and made an
impossible effort to freeze me with a.
look. I gave newsboy quarter with
out stopping to take q paper, shook
hands with several people had never
seen before, beamed on all corners, ir-
respective of sex, age, color or existing
conditions of servitude, and made my
self so effusive generally that the opin-
ion formed by the young lady became
prevalent throughout the little town.
AT the hotel her big brother waited on
me with blood in his eye, and for some
time my heightened sense of chivalry
was stumped whether to fight or ex-
plain. But chose the wiser course. 1t
was not long until the entire community
knew the whole story, and rejoiced with
me. They have tradition out there
that it was pretty lively time."-De-
troit Free Press.
