Syndicate Learns n GeoIogist's MAJ Is

'om the chihuahua Enterprise.

From the Chihuahua ENTERPRISE.
Sometimes a man Of talent is con-
cealed behind n duh exterior. SOM
months ago a Mexican from Sonora
was employed as a w]oodchopper at
Phoenix, Ari. He was n very good
woodchopper. and by his efficiency in
that profession alone he won the conf
dence end respect Of his employer. It
t~ranspired. though, that he was some
thinS more than a woodchopper. He
was n man Of geographical information
and a past master in the art of man
drawing. He put a sample Of his work
on exhibition and II commanded rapt
attention. 1t represented a section Of
Sonora in the vicinity Of MagdaIena,
and il contained the designation Of a
spot marking the site of a mine Of
marvellous wealth. He had been there
and knew all about Il. The existence
of the map and mine became known 10
n dozen of the wisest. best and fore
mos men of Phoenix. They gave the
Mexican all the consideration he de-
sired, n then formed a syndicate for
the re~discovery and development OF the
mine. from the Mexican's glowing de-
scription. which convinced them that
they had the world by the tail on a 30
per cent. grade, pulling downward.
About two weeks ago a member Of
the syndicate. the Mexican and the
map went to Sonora to give II another

while in the vicinity. Nearly every
shaft led to n deposit Of bones. until
the conviction was finally forced upon
them that they were mining in n rave
yard. IT was. too. so old n graveyard
that all surface indications had long
since disappeared, so that il couldn't
be the mining side the Mexican had in
mind when he constructed his man.
The syndicate is not yet DISCOURAGED:

There was not a particle of pus or

Another strange thing. perhaps as

AooNIzINc TRIP ON HORSE cAa.
Obliging Conductor Told the Passenger
Her House Was Hnrninr.

Back in the days when the North
state street cars We're drawn TO and
from town by the lazy methods of tired
horses. a woman boarded a car at Lake
street and. taking a seat, prepared to
enjoy a luxurious mental and physical
rest, as she lived north Of Division
street. n the trip would .be like
sweetness long drawn out. But fate
and the obliging conductor had other
ends in view for the weary passenger.
When she paid her fare the amiable Of
fetal volunteered to break his usual
silence with the consoling remark
Madam. your house is on fire"
What" screamed the frightened
woman. jumping to her feet i'm alarm.
Yes. madam" explained the con-
ductor. II saw the engines out in front
as I passed the corner"
The woman sank back into her seat
in demoralized despair. The car fairly
crept northward in it's homeward jour
ney. and every urn OF the wheels
brought a new trial and trouble to the
frightened house owner. She pictured
her children burned as the greatest of
evils added to the loss Of her clothes
and furniture as the least.
She urged the conductor to hurry. he
in turn argued with the driver. who
threatened the backs of the bony horses
with the reins until they managed TO go
n trife faster than a walk. But TO the

through space. She counted every street
as IL was left behind. N two squares
before she could possibly reach home
she was out on the front nlatform ac-
companied by the sympathetic con-
ductor. e~ndeavoring to discover signs of
the narrowing confagration in front of
her home.
And. all too true. there were the en-
gines n hremen. there was the smoke
II not the fire issuing from the windows.
there was the usual gathered crowd.
'Oh. hurry" she cried out TO the
driver. n hurry he certainly did. The
horses fairly galloped up State street.
and within a half a block Of Division
street the harassed passenger jumped
from the platform. unable longer to
bear the strain Of waiting. She ran up
the middle OF the street to her own
familiar block Of houses. only 10 find
her own home safe and sound. and her
own children in their healthy bodies
busily helping the fremen. For II was
the next-door home of her neighbor
that was burning.
