On the editorial staff OF the Brook
Vile High School Banner we notice the
names OF 12 girls and but one boy; the
High School Bulletin, Of Reynoldsville,
has 2 girls and one boy on its editorial
staff; the Bulletin, of Brockwayville,
has on its staff the same proportion in
favor of the girls, while the Vidette, OF
this place, is composed entirely of five
girls. What does this mean? Does is
mean that the coming moulder Of
public opinion and expounder OF chunks
of opinion and thought is to be a woman
and that the press of the future will be
controlled by kits and skirts? Twenty
one girls to three boys is good sized
average and it behooves the boys to get
into the editorial harness.-Big Run

New Rule of Practice.

A Washington telegram says: Act proved change in the rules of prac- ticc of the general land office that will be of general interest in the public land states. provides that when special agent. after Investigating an alleged fraudulent entry location or claim, recommends the cancellation of such entry tine claimant shall be given notice of the charges made by the agent and will be allowed thirty days in which to ask for hearing before the local officers. At the hearing. if it is asked for. the burden of proof of fraud is to be on the government. Should the entryman fail to request q hearing. the case is to follow the same routine through the local and general land office as all eX parte cases, and the entryman is allowed the right of appeal if the decision of the local officers is against him. II has been the practice heretofore to cancel en- tries on the recommendation of a special agent without notice to the entryman.
 The telcgrapher is in error in his last sentence as the entLyman always has had the privilege of being heard before his entry was canceled.
 There will be mass in the Catholic church on Sundays the 10th and 17th of September at 10 o'clock a. m.

VEKOL IN TROUBLE
An Order in Bankruptcy Received
Here Yesterday.

The affairs of the VekoI mine are
approaching another crisis, and that
! old mine has reached many in its day.
An order in bankruptcy was received
by United States Marshal Griffith
from the court of the Second judicial
district yesterday and he appointed
John Stroehle, deputy marshal, as
Waterman. Stroehle left for the Vekoi
last night.
The order is understood to have been
issued by Judge Doan upon the petit
ton of L. Zeckendorf & Company of
Tucson.
The Vekol has lately been operated
by st. Louis company of which the
Pecks were the promoters and princi-
psi members. 1t is said that they
paid the Walker estate a million dol
lars for it. Though it has not been
very long since the. company began
operations it's affairs have become bad
ly involved. Debts for supplies, for
hauling ore and machinery have ac-
cumulated to a large amount and at
tachment has been threatened by sew
eral creditors. The Zeckendorfs were
the heavy creditors and it is supposed
that they have massed the claims
against the company. The VekOl is
one of the most famous mines in the
territory. Nobody knows how long ago
it began to be worked, for the Indians
were its discoveries.
In a moment of gratitude they dis
closed it's existence to their white war
chief, John D. Walker, and made him
I present of it. He dug a fortune out
of it and also excavated from its
depths the beginning of a lifelong
trouble. which had its end in a Cali
fornia insane asylum. Many other
people have gotten a great deal of
trouble out of it since and nothing but
trouble, though experts say that it is
still stored with a great wealth of gold
and silver. While the mine was tied
up in the litigation between Walkers
wife and his brothers, a big price was
offered for it. The brothers wanted
% sell and put the money into court to
Re fought over, but the wife would
not consent. so that during that pro-
-racted struggle the mine lay idle.
Then came the drop in silver and af-
+erward Juana Walker, the reputed |
indian daughter and heir appeared in

which ended in compromise. One of |
Ter attorneys, P. B. McCabe, obtained /
control of the mine, though the inter- |
asts of Lucene Walker in it were not |
McCabe began working |
Fheeold silver mine for gold. He intro
1uced a new process, which had been a |
great theoretical success, but it did |
not work in the Vekol. After a while
he mine was surrendered to Walker
and after his death a few months ago,
7assed into the possession of the pres
ant company.

out working so hard
After the conference with her lawyer,
Miss Eastman lost no time in getting a
position and spent her savings to hold
her claims. The money came little at
a time, but the work progressed slowly.
Miss Eastman has a pleasant face,
dark eyes and prepossessing manners.
Among the hotels at which she was
employed was the Hotel Green, Pasa-
fdena, Cal, and this summer at the
Hotel Colorado, Glenwood Springs
The guests never suspected that the
girl working at the hotel had for
tune in sight.
Just before the sale of the claim for
$45, 600, when more correspondence
than usual was necessary, it leaked
out at Glenwood Springs that Miss
Eastman was soon to come into con-
siderable money. simultaneously, it IS
said, a sutton appeared, but the enter
prfsing young man got no encourage
ment.
Finally the deal was closed, and
with large credit there were those who
expected to see the young woman's
head turned. But they were badly mis-
taken Her dresses We're exceedingly
modest.
Miss Eastman was in Denver on her
way to Phoenix, Ariz., where the rest
of the copper claims are lOcate Those
of which she has not yet disposed are
four in number. Her plans for the
winter are not vet announced, except
on one point, she will not have to work
as she did last winter.
The chief set out to verify this anec-
dote. but was unable to find a starting
point The name of Miss Abbie East-
man does not appear in either the
Phoenix city directory nor the great
register of the voters of Maricopa
county She is not a member of the
Amalgamated Association of Prevarl-' |
Gators with headquarters at the court /
house. nor does she belong to the Fed
Grafton of Chamber Maids and Waiter
Girls. There is no record of a sale of a |
s45. 600 mine in which Miss Abbie |
Eastman figured, nor is there a new
copper mine in this city worth that |
much money There is known to be |
only one copper mine in this vicinity |
That is in the mountains south OF
town. and it hasn't been discovered |
yet 1t hasn't even been located and
the locator is not Miss Abbie Eastman |
Old mining men who have had a great |
deal of experience in keeping up as
sessment work on mines. to say moth |
ing of doing development work, say
that a hotel chamber maid could not,
even with her princely salary, pay Tor
the development of five copper claims
This whole story is believed to have
from the British war office
