A MAMMOTH PROPERTY.
Crooked River Mines Are the
Biggest IN the State.


Our special correspondent, writ
ing from Elk City, says that the
2O-stamp mill building being erect
ed by the Hogan brothers upon
their Crooked river properties is all
inclosed and 10 Of the stamps are
now on the ground, while the re-
naming 10 will be shipped in later,
1t is hoped to have the mill running
the last week of July. There are
35 locations in this property, and
the owners, who are all practical
mining men from Montana, have
been all the time sanguine that
they have proposition which will
make big bonanza, and have
spent money freely in extensive
development work and equipment.
One Of the veins is reported to be
anywhere from 200 to 800 feet
wide, containing values of Sc to
SIG per ton in gold. Ground sluic-
ing has been done in order to make
this valuable dyke available for the
mill without the necessary mining
work, and 100 feet of the dyke
gave good prospects in the boxes.
1t is regarded as one of the really
great mining propositions in this
state.

two of his old teachers, Brothers Thomas
and Ambrose.
He seeks out his grocer-uncle WiIl-they
grew up in the same household and are
nearly the same age-and they chat and
laugh over the days when they stole apples
and pitched horse shoes and slept to-
gether.
Not a day passes without his seeing
his parents and sister. They either call
on him or he on them, and, as in the DAYS
OF the long, long thoughts" it is "pappy"
and nanny and "Gertie."
"Pappy" and "Mammy" Schwab.
John schwab, the father, is the nabob
of Loretto. He is the richest resident, it's
only retired merchant. All the rest have
to keep right on trying to scrape in the
pennies that are sufficient unto the day.
Several years before his son had managed
to creep very far up the ladder in Brad
dock, John. by means of a livery business
and a farm, got together a comfortable
sum for use in his declining years; so now
he divides his time between his home and
reading the papers in company with host
O'Donnell, seated on the ~latter's roomy
porch.
John Schwab is 60 years old, but his
six feet Of spare body remain as straight as
an arrow and not a gray hair shows in his
black hair and beard. He is of few words
and inclined to be t~aciturn even with his
best friends. He attained his education
by experience and has allowed himself
to be FURNISHED by occasional journeys into
the world. He is a devout Catholic; some
representative OF the church can nearly
always be found under the Schwab roof.
The mother is the opposite of her hus-
band. She is typically German. Her fig
full and her complexion and hair fair. She
is exceedingly affable. The villagers say
that Charlie takes after his mother in
everything except his nose" which is
prominent, like his fathers. All the other
c~hildren-Mary. who took the veil years
ago, and Joe and Gertrude are more like
their father.
The parents are averse to talking about
their famous son. They look askance on
every stranger who knocks at the door OF
their comfortably furnished house. Mr..
Schwab says that of course he is proud of
his son and his success. Mrs. Sehwab ac-
quiesces, but says no more. They never
have expressed themselves further than
this to their neighbors; nor will Gertrude.

Of business. There is no display anywhere.
Everything is simplicity and old style.
There is no other than the granite church
for miles around. There is no need of an
other. No person not a Catholic has ever
been known to live in Loretto, founded 100
years ago by the famous prince-priest
Demetrius Gallitzin. 1t is noted in church
history as the home of Catholicism in west
ern Pennsylvania.
The people of Schwab's boyhood home
have one predominant trait of living to-
gether as one family, entirely under the
spiritual. and largely under the material,
guidance of Father Kittel, the Franciscan
brothers at the college and the gentle sis
tiers of the convent.
Their other characteristics are those OF
villagers whose only link with the outside
world is the now famous stage line running
twice a day to Cresson, the nearest railroad
point, six miles away. They are simple
minded, simple In their needs. open hearted
and as unaffected as the day is long.
When Charles M. Schwab arrives here
no one stands in awe Of him, notwith-
standing the fact hat he has been the
only man who ever went out from Loretto
and amassed great wealth. When he
drives along the street Paddy" Moran, as
typical an Irishman as ever said 'Oi,"

Loretto's oldest inhabitant, greets him
with, We'll. Charlie boy, I'm right glad
you're back" when Mr.. Schwab makes his
usual call at the McElhenny home.
The old lady then passes a pleasing half
hour telling her rich guest all about how
her muscular rheumatism is as bad as
ever, how the old COW kicked over a bucket
Of milk last night and that the father
dropped in to see her the other day. And
she never fails to mention MY Mary, who
died while you was down in Braddock, and
was just about your age; and do you re-
member she used to play with your" Even
the whittlers of boxes in front of the
stores sing out, Hello, Charlie!" and

Charlie Schwab replies in kind. Except
for the big house on the hill his life when
he comes back here Is almost as simple as
in his boyhood days.

Charlie Schwab didn't begin to make the
acquaintance of his staunch friend Paddy
Moran and other Loretto folk until he was
IL years old, when his father moved here
from Williamsburg, bought out Loretto's
only livery stable and ran the stage be-
tween Cresson and st. Augustine, carrying
passengers and mail. Charlie left Loretto
In 1880 and went to Braddock, but despite
the fact that he spent only six years here
Loretto is brimful of stories Of his boyhood
days.
Loretto is insistent on one point and de-
mands the visitors minute attention to it.
1t is that Charlie didn't drive the stage
nearly as much as contemporary chronicles
represent.
According to Loretto he drove only when
he felt like 1t or when his father was short

regularly, or often, and attended school and
college at the same time. Loretto explains.
After Schwab left the common" school
where he wasn't a particularly shining
mark, and where the untruthful dime novel
appealed to him quite as much as the vora-
cious spelling book, he went under the care
OF the brothers at st. Francis college. Here
Charlie took a lively interest in things
and soon became the head of his class.
He had to work, though, to keep the honor,
for Harry Flick was his close and constant
competitor.
Tenacity and Blum.
The gentle Brother Ambrose says that
Sehwab, during his two years at college,
was noted mainly not for special intellec-
tual acumen, but for bulldog tenacity and
what in these modern days, is called bluff
fng.' These two characteristics, the brother
declares, put and kept Charlie at the head
Of his class.
Charlie especially likes arithmetic"
Brother Ambrose explains. Generally 1t
was easy for him, though sometimes it
wasn't. But II it wasn't, Charlie would
never let on that he didn't know his prob
lens. Instead, he'd go to the blackboard
and mark away with might and main. And
he wouldn't stop until he had solved the
problem, or had convinced us that he knew
now to get the right answer.
In all things Charlie was a boy who
never said i don't know He went on

a tall, thin, hollow-cheeked man who be-
lieves in taking life easy. He lives in a
little frame house next to his store, which
Is stocked with groceries, worth, perhaps,
$500. The success of his old crony has
aroused no envy in his heart. On the
other hand he is quite contented with his
lot. He says:
What do J. think of Charlie? Charlie
has millions and no appetite. have a
little grocery store and a good appetite.
I'd rather have the appetite"
Among the Schwabs there is a strong
bond of appreciation. Between the Schwabs
and their neighbors there is a strong tie
of friendship, and the townsmen and ad-
jacent farmers do not hesitate to flock to
Charlie schwab's house. whenever they
feel like 1t.
Last Fourth of July Schwab heard that
Carpenter James Beck, Farmer Rudolph and
his hands" the storekeeper of omniferous
tame and all the rest were coming. So
he went to the city and got a bountiful
supply OF all sorts of fireworks. He also
served refreshments that Paddy Moran de-
scribes feelingly as Simply iligant."
