true tale. To be sure 1t is none the better
for that; but neither is 1t any the owrse
1t is the tale of q tenderfoOt that came
out on top. 1t was told by a grizzled
ranchman who was getting the first taste
of the civilization of the effete east that
he had had i'm fifteen years, i'm a restaur-
ant not a thousand miles from the court
house not long ago. He was reminiscent
reminiscent of the ranch and of that
last taste of civilization fifteen years
lack. On that occasion 1t was Chicago.
not greater New York, that figured as
the "effete east
At that time he and his partner had
been connected with the "G-52 outfit" i'm
Idaho. His partner, be 1t observed. was
a young Scotchman,a a fellow with a ham
die to his name, who had had the sense
to realize that he was none the better
for that, to the ultimate persuading of
his fellows that he was equally none the
worse for it. Out in the beef country he
was just plain Jim to his equals and
Mr.. Hamilton to his interiors. Jim"
and the Idaho man had sought the effete
east, /. e., Chicago, in charge Of a load
of cattle from G-52, which was about
thirty miles north of Pocatello. They
had put up at the old Richelieu of happy
memory and put in considerable time
painting the town as deep a shade of car
mine as they could before society found
Jim out. That 'Sir" tackled in front of
his name cut considerable ice in the So
cial pond, even though the ranch had
agreed to forget it, in view of the fact
that Jim was the right sort, in spite
of 1t.
1t was a case of evening togs and din
ner at some swell house-a different one
every night" said the Idaho man. .'Of
course, l trailed along with Jim. He
wouldn't have'it any other way. and he
made it stick; though sometimes I got
so tired of spike-tailed walters clothes
that came near swerving several times
and Jim had to do everything short of
picketing me to hold me down at that
So We had a pretty hot time of 1t that
trip, though Jim had a whole gripful Of
letters to Chicago folks that he never
presented at all.
"One night, it was the last week of our
stay in Chicago we had dinner with some
swell folks over on the North Side. After
dinner, when the men folks got together
in the smoking room, Jim and had to
answer a heap of questions about the
ranching business.
THE son of the host was particularly
anxious to know a lot about the game.
He was tall slender lad of about % or
%, with tow hair. a peachy skin, and a
little bit of light, rat-tailed mustache.
Say, what the young man didn't want
to learn about the cattle business was
just nothing at all. Jim and asked him
if he was thinking about going into
but he said no. but the busi-
ness interested him, and that as We were
the first people we had ever met that were
actually engaged in 1t he wanted to veri-
fy few things that he had heard about
the cattle land.
1T was up to us then, of course, to ask
him to come out to our outfit, and take
a look around. and we did. although he
was such a juniper looking cuss, with his
pink hide and his tow hair and his mild
eastern way, that neither Of us could

just figure out how he'd look at ranch.
But it was plain that he was trolling for
the invitation, so Jim and l passed it
along to him.
He had heard that cowboys had way
of raisin hell-beg pardon, he called it
HAHN and that sure does sound better
with tenderfeet that came their way.
And he was most particular anxious to
know more about it. We figured out that
he was scared o. his hide, Jim and did.
and we had to grin. We could just see
the hands looking over and sizin' up
that pinky boy, and we could hear the
cracks they'd make when he appeared.
But Jim, being dead anxious to switch
him from his determination to come out
and visit us, made out to comfort him
some: told him how the boys never really
hurt up tenderfeet, just danced 'em a
little for exercise like. The boys were all
right at bottom, but just a leetle mite
mischievous when they first see a tender
foot. But Pinky he didn't bluff for a
cent.
well says he. I'll come but won't
dance and I won't be haZed.'

thumbs and looked hard at the ceiling.

A drift six feet square is being run
and it shows exceedingly rich stuff.
Among the lead large quantity
of silicate is being found. In fact
there is very little waste dirt.
We understand mill will be
built at the Sunny Side mine and
that work will soon begin.
