CHAPTER XIV.
Success and Failure.

David Parker's report on the Sailor
Mine was submitted to Mr.. Hawkins
ten days later, and it more than con-
firmed the statements made by Jonn
Burt. Upon receipt of it, the mag
nate proceeded to the mine with Burt
and Parker, taking several miners in
whom he had absolute confidence.
New claims were located on the noun
tain-side, and in the valley below in
anticipation of possible placer de-
posts.
Jim Blake was delighted when in
formed of Johns progress, Hope
you make millions, and am betting
you WILL" said Jim as they shook
hands and separated.
Mr.. Hawkins, David Parker and
John Burt spent three nights in the
cramped quarters of the log cabin,
and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
On their return to San Francisco a
formal agreement was signed, and
John Burt and John Hawkins became
partners in the Sailor Mine and in
the scores of claims surrounding it.
For eighteen months John directed
the efforts of an army of men, swarm
ing like ants on the mountain-side. A
village sprang up in the valley and
clustered about the stamp mills of
Hawkins & Company. Churches,
gambling houses, stores and saloons
contended for patronage. Thousands
of claims were staked out; but nature
had ceased from her gold sowing
when she finished the broad layers of
the Sailor Mine and its outcroppings.
The mines produced eight hundred
thousand dollars in gold the first year.
After deducting Blake's price, Johns
share in the profits was more than a
hundred thousand His dividends in

fore he had been in California two
years.
Having placed the mining property
on a permanent footing, and in charge
of competent managers and supern-
tendents, he transferred his head
quarters to San Francisco. He still
made periodical visits to the mines,
where he had an office in the old log
cabin; orders having been issued not
to destroy it under any circumstances.
When Jim Blake received his first
instalment of hundred thousand dol
lars, he gave dinner in John Burt's
honor in the Occidental Hotel Twen-
ty guests were present. This social
function cost Blake a thousand dol
lars, and ten days after the feast he
was without a dollar.
Mining stocks" he explained to
John Burt. Il plunged on Robert EN-
met, and they trimmed me-"
John advanced Jim ten thousand
dollars, and gave him advice which
was worth more than the money.
Blake followed the advice for
month. When his second instalment
was due, he had drawn so heavily
against John that he had balance of
only forty-fve thousand. Two months
after he had received a check for the
final payment, which terminated his
original property rights in the mines,
he admitted to John Burt that his to-
tai assets did not exceed five thou.

How Sea Urchins Travel.

Sea urchins, or sea eggs" have
queer method of locomotion. They are
protected by sharp spines, but these
spines do not cover all the surface.
This is divided up into segments, like
a rough-rinded melon. The narrow
segments are pierced with holes.
Through these small holes the sea
eggs" protrude little tubes which act
as feet in the following curious way:
The animal initiates the tubes in the
water from little suckers at the back
and in this way it pushes itself forl
ward. The tubular feet are fitted I'd
every side of the creature, which Ii
thus enabled to move in any direction
it pleases.

RUINS 1000 YEARS OLD.
Temples In Nubia Believed to Be Most
Ancient.


The oldest architectural ruins In the
world are believed to be the rock cut
temples at Ipsambool on tn cleft bank
of the Nile, in Nubia. The largest of
these ancient temples contains four
teen apartments, hewn out of solid
stone The largest single stone used
in this work is one which forms a
verandalike projection along one side
of the main temple. 1t is fifty-seven
feet long, fifty-two broad, and seven
teen-one account says nineteen-feet
thick. This colossal stone is support
ed by two rows of massive square pill
lars, four in each row and each thirty
feet high. To each of these pillars is
attached a colossal figure of human
being, reaching from floor to roof
In front of the main temple are seated
still other coossi, four in number, the
two largest being each siXty-two feet
high. The ruins are supposed to be

Two days later John Burt received
a message from David Parker, asking
him to call at his office. Scientific
tests had shown a much higher per-
centage of gold than those indicated
by the crude experiments made in the
cabin by John Burt

says you are the hardest man to deal

for you, Mr.. Burton, assure you. He
has had his lawyer draw up a provis-

terms-as he understood them-and
instructs me to say to you that we are
invited to dine with him at his club
this afternoon, when the matter may
be finally arranged. If so. | am to ac-
company you to the mines to-mor-
row."
John thanked Parker, and arranged
to meet him with Mr.. Hawkins at
later hour. He then called on an at
torney and submitted the agreement
to his inspection. After making a
few minor alterations, the lawyer as
sured John that the agreement fully
protected his interests.

Essay on the Whale.

The whale (says dear little school.
boy) is not called fish, because it is
so big, SO it is called creature. They
eat cookies and worms and jellies, and
people catches the whales with fish
ing-rod or net. They have a tar
poon at the end of their tails.
if he sees any people about he will
swallow them up, for he has very big
jaw bones, and strong teeth, called
whalebones. If you keep a whales
head under water he will die for want
of breath. When they have finished

CHAPTER xlll-continued.

At the sight of the ore, and of the
dull gloss of the nugget, a wonderful
transformation took place in John
Hawkins. He gazed at the ore with
the rapt look of an enthusiast. The
weight of the nugget told its own
story.
Go ahead and tell me about this, !"
he said abruptly. "You look like an
honest man, and it's waste of time
to lie to me. What have you got
and how did you get it?"
In a matter of fact way John Burt
related the story of the discovery and
development of the Sailor Mine.

said the capitalist "I'll send an ex-
pert to investigate it and make re-
