SAN JUAN COUNTY MINES.

SilVerton standard,
The last payment was made on the
King group of mines last Saturday by
the Royal Mining company to Herr
Brothers and Johnnie Woods. The
sum was $4,000. being the third in
stallment since the purchase of the
Sultan mountain property, two years
ago. The group now in possession
OF the Royal Mining company contains
some 81 claims, more or less develop
ed by surface work and by a 1300-foot
crosscut tunnel which cuts deep at the
base of many of the principal veins.
There are mines that were discov-
cred by old Indians, who had more
knowledge of roots and .omahawks
than they had of ore. There is mine
that has ore running $4,000 per ton
on the average and can be quarried
like a sand pile. Then there's the
mine that has a vein 2000 feet wide
and that is nothing but ore-no waste
rock in II. There is the mine that
can be developed in two months.
There is also the mine that contains
some metal that has never been found
in that district before. And there are
other mines with equally romantic
stories about them. There is just one
kind of mine that is safe to invest
in, and that is the one that has been
located by men who understand their
business and that is being opened in
manner that will produce results.
In other words. there must be the pro
perty and the men back of it. These
men must be in the business to pro
duce wealth from what the mine yields
and not from what the sale of stock
yields.

English, like the croak of a parrot,

a gesture which should have been

his breast. Good. White man come.

Franklin stepped boldly out from the

Indian took his hand without a smile,
and with look which Franklin felt

Franklin pointed to the carcasses of

though he was. 1t was an edged in
slant. Any second might bring on the
climax.
And suddenly the climax came.
From the barricade at the rear there
rose a cry. half roar and half chal-
lenge. The giant Mexican Juan, for a
time quieted by Curly's commands,
was now seized upon by some impulse
which he could no longer control. He
came leaping from behind the wagons,
brandishing the long knife with which
he had been engaged upon the fallen
buffaio. He would have darted alone

| the ponies came on with what seemed
an effect of tossing sea of waving
names and tails, blending and compos-
ing with the deep sweeping feather
trails of the grand war bohnets. Red
brown bodies, leaning, working up and
down, rising and falling with the mo-
ton of the ponies, came into Wow,
dozens of them-scores of them. Their
moccasined feet were turned back I'M
der the horses bellies, the sinewy legs
clamping the horse from thigh to
ankle as the wild riders came on, with
no bride governing their steeds other
than the jaw ropes single strand.
The Indians came on, close up to the
barricade, where they saw the muzzles
of four rifles following them steadily,
sight which to them carried GER
tain significance The minglfng,
shifting line, obedient to some loud
word of command, swept up near to
the front of the barricade, then came
to sudden halt with half the fore
feet off the ground. The ponies
shuf1ed and fidgeted, and the men still
yelled and called out unintelligible
sounds, but the line halted. 1t parted,
and there rode forward an imposing
figure.
Gigantic, savage, stern, clad in the
barbaric flnery of his race, his body
nearly nude, his legs and his little
feet covered with bead-laden buskskin,
his head surmounted with horned
war bonnet whose eagle plumes
trailed down the pony's side almost to
the ground, this Indian headman made
picture not easily to be forgotten nor
Immediately to be despised. He sat
his piebald stallion with no heed to
it's FESTIVE prancing. Erect, immo-
bile as a statue, such was the dignity
of his carriage, such the stroke of his
untamed eye, that each man behind
the barricade sank lower and gripped
his gun more tightly. This was per-
sonality not to be held in any hasty
or ill-advised contempt.
The Indian walked his horse direct
