gailinRs for $4,000.

There are some men in this world
tho have TO toll for a mere apology
Df living and then there are others.
)ne of these latter is Mr.. Luce, of
largo Muchacho. Luce's experience
'eads like romance. For 20 years he
lad Knocked about the coast, on the
lesert, in the mountains. prospecting
md mining, and had finally. by hard
work and the closest economy, man
iged to scrape together a few hundred
iollars.
One day on the shores OF the Col
)rado. some 20 miles north of Yuma,
le met an old Mexican who told him of
deserted mine some ten miles back
rom the river and seven miles north
If Hedges. Luce's interest was aroused,
md he visited that mine, 60 find there
an abandoned 20-stamp mill which had
pounded away for many years 'sand
inally shut down. lie then learned the
story. The mill was on leased ground
The lessee had mined the property on
shares aud had done fairly well. al
though the ore was not entirely free

had simply lost the lead. and that II was
there all right, but the owners refused
to put up cent to help him find Il
again, and tired of living on the desert.
he threw up the whole business and
left.
Luce examined the property and dis
covered that there was small noun
tain of tailings, the accumulation Of
years, piled up behind the mill. He
tested these tailiHgs with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly and
estimated there was over 100000 tons
Of the stuff there. That night he wrote
to the president of the company in New
York city, offering them ten cents per
ten for the tailings on a basis of l00,-
900 tons. The president read the letter.
looked surprised. and called the direct
ors together. They read the letter,
looked wise, tapped their foreheads sig
niiicantly and laughed to each other.
This poor fellow Luce should be
called goose" said one.
Deserts proved too much for him
probably gone daft" observed another.
Not one of them thought those tail
ings were worth anything, and they
had almost entirely forgotten that oil
mine out on the Colorado desert But
they answered the letter, Selljag Luce
to go ahead.
This was in April of la,t year. On
receipt of the letter Luce immediately
erected cyanide plant costing him
about 800 of his own snd his friends
money. Then they bred IS Mexicans
and Indians and began work on those
tailings. The other day some repre-
sentatives of the mine company were
returning from San Francisco. and.
passing through the desert, thought
they would visit the mine.
How are you?" said Luce. "Glad to
see you BY the way. we might as well
fiN up our little account now as at any
time and so saying he threw the as
tonished Gothamites check for SIC. 900
Then he explained that in the nine
months he had been running the
cyanide plant he had cleaned up $45.-
600 and that there was plenty of tail
ing in sight to net him $20o.o within
three years.--San Diego (Cal.) Sun.
