mere there Is one 10 go"
ThS sentiment in n toast struck a
responsive chord In ''Old Mixes heart,
but instead of responding in kind. his
eyes filled with tears, he choked and the
more he swallowed the harder it APP
peared that he kept down a lump of
something that seemed to render him
Sp~eechless.
Old Mike could do no more than CUR
gle out something that sounded like
Your health,' and he sank into his
chair. trying TO hid his tears. But he
did not reply. The silence which he
mad maintained for years with no one
TO commune with out nature had sealed
his lips and dulled his flow of thought
and language.
Both were hungry and they talked
i'tie duIllS lne meal. After dinner
they cleared the table, put the dishes In
a big pan and postponed the washing
until evening.
Nov for 81 good smoke" said the
host. and Mix fished out his pipe and
partook of the package of Peerless
During the afternoon and until the
shadows of evening cast a gloom over
the cabin n the forest became inky
black. they chatted of the woods and
snapped stories of experiences en-
Joyed in other places on Christmas day.
Mike was n good listener and VIZ
charmed by the tales told by the wan
derer. But all Mike would talk about
was the woods and his life among the
mute sentinels of the forest. He would
eagerly discuss the timber, section
lines, trails IL even relate some of his
experiences as Il huntsman and trapper,
but further than that he would not
talk.
He evidently had a past that he
wanted to forget. Was it a little love
affair that drove him to live the life
of a recluse or was he fugitive from
the law? These and many other aues-
tons he might have answered, but he
was silent. All he would say was this:
IF l must work and work l must.
let re live in he great outdoors under
heavens blue canopy. among nature
and natures innocent children. Let
me live ava from the hum and buzz
a busy business world, and love ma
and forget all the world"
And SO as they rolled into the bunk"
the wanderer had another Christmas
experience to think of when the day
Il e hence to find aim still

stuffing The Turkey.
Frcm Tho Ohio state Ionrr,l

StI " itI
There are cranks and ranks push
ing themselves into public notice at
all times and seasons of the year, but
the most pronounced and aggravating
one is the deluded epicurc who sug-
gests that there should be no stufing
in a roast turkey. He says it con-
ficts with he sweet flavor and deli
cate aroma of the. bird. Not a bit Of
it. That fellow has never tasted stuff
1ing-not the mild, milldcwed, crumbly
dressing that is scraped onto the side
of the plate-but tie real stufing,
spooned out of the rich chambers Of
the fowl. in great masses that fill the
room With fragrance and the heart with
joy.
1t is the soul of the turkey, stuffing
is. With the turkey itself, one is al
way bothered about what part one
will have; whether he will nave white
meat or dark meat; a drumstick or a
pinion; but with the stuffing it is al
ways the same; the only question is
that little sagey odor floating about
it's just as sweet as the smell of
orange blossoms on a wedding day.
And, ~perchance, that PARKWAY, sub
liniated suggestion Of al onion, f1utter-
ing about ones nostrils like the dream
of some lear homecoming realized at
last.
Turkey straight, without stuffing; no.
indeed! 1t is the longing of c%iviliza-
ton to mix with naked nature the
subconsciousness of the human heart
and garnish it with dream, and poetry
and the love of things underlined and
divine. That's stufing. Down with
any reform IN roast turkey. The grand.
mothers a it a sanctity that will be
downright sacrilege to rob it of. II
will never be improved while the world
stands. Another piece of the white
meat and more stuffing, please.

JEROME MINERS TO GET RAISE
 IN SALARY.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Not the least important occurrence connected with Senator William A. Clark's recent visit to his United Verde properties at Jerome was his announcement to the men that on and after Monday, November 10, all min. CTS would receive an advance in salary of 25 cents per day, which would con. tinue as long as copper remained above IS cents per pound.
 This raise, it IS stated, will not af feet the clerical force or contractors Tut only those directly engaged in talk ing the copper from the earth. or. in other words, the miners and those working in the mines.
 The raise was made voluntarily, no demand having been presented by the men or the Miners Union, to the mine management, for n raise in salary. It was decided upon some time ago by Senator Clark and his associates. when the price of copper went above IS cents, but the announcement was with. held until after the election, 50 that the management of the United Verde properties could not he accusd of hay. ing ultcrior motives in the substantial -aisc, which will mean difference of nearly $t0oO in the monthly pay roll at the Jerome mines.

assessment work was being performed on the mine, the miners ran into one of these crevices, and later dumped all the rock broken for many feet into the opening which appeared to be of great depth.
 In these caves and crcviccs some of the richest ore ever taken from the mine was found, some of the richest clinging to tho sides of the openings, many pieces being taken out as large as n mans hand, which were later found to be oncthird gold. The ore taken out gave returns of from *iO to $l25 to the ton, great deal of the values going with the waste into the tailings, close saving being impos siblc ny the crude arastra method of treatment.
 Five claims, two of which arc pat. cntcd, constitute the group, which is located on the mountain, south of Big Bug Creek, immediately opposite the Poland mill, near the mouth of the Pc land tunnel. All of the ores ever found in the mine are free milling and the locations are covered by n heavy growth of pine, from which mining timbcrs can he secured at nominal cost.

HARVARD MINING CLAIM IS SOLD
 TO EASTERN SYNDICATE.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Wednesday, in the County Recorder < office, n decd was filed trnnsferrinp the title to the Harvard mining claim in the Black Rock district. from A. R.. Rowe, w. F. liamin and w. !. Gilbert to C. w. Mitchell representative of an eastern syndicate.
 The mine, which is located one and one'half miles northeast of Gilbert, is one of the oldest in the district, it's rich gold bearing surface having been treated by the arastra process by the pioneers of the district, who reaped rich rewards from it's surface deposits
 Tbe vein runs northeasterly and southwesterly along large porphyry dyke, the mineralizcd zone of which ia from ten to fifty feet in width, inter sected by veinlets of quartz carrying high grade values in gold and copper values, appearing richer as depth is reached. It IS developed by q number of shallow shafts, tho deepest of which IS o0 feet from the bottom, of which about l2O feet in drifts have been run along the vein, exposing large ore body.
 It IS the intention of the new owners 'o equiP lhe property with hoisting plant and commence it's development on large scale by the sinking of the shaft to greater depth and the open. ing of the vein from 1t by "a series of latcrals and cross cuts.
 The consideration of tho deal was not made public but it is known to he handsome figure, as Mir. Mitchell is the owner of other promising proper. ties In the neighhorhood and the bur. chase of this property is the result of negotiations which have been under way for many months.

BRINGS IN GOLD BAR WEIGHING
 ii2 OUNCES.
From Thursdays Daily.

Blake Baker came m yest'ruas from his camp in the Cherry 'feeh district, with bar of gold buiiioh weighing lI2 ounces, avoiidupols, the result of a test run of 2j tons Of ore from his Broom mine, the clean up be ing made yesterday in the Monarch mill.
 Together with this bar, the Broom mine has produced, in the last ten months. nearly *32OO in gold, from the labor of two miners, who have been engaged in it's development, and who ,tnrted ,o open it from the grassroots. In addition to this amount there is now on one of it's dumps about l5 tons oi ore ready for treatment which VIII mill better than $50 to the ton.
 The mine is opened by tunnel about so feet in length, which Follows the vein, besides n number Of shallow shafts, as well as n new tunnel recent Iy started, which is now into the moun tain a distance of 20 feet. All of th" ore treated from the mine has been taken from the upper tunnel, in driving it ahead, little, if any, stopping beng done. Tho lower tunnel now being driven will tap the ledge al depth of l50 feet, when 1t reaches point 200 feet from it's face, the topography If the ground being such that almost one foot in depth is gained with every foot of tunnel run, after the tunnel reaches a distance of 100 feet into the mountain. The paystrcak averages n thickness about one foot, at times 'wclling to three feet, all of the ore being free milling and of high grade.
 Mir. Baker is pushing the lower tun. nel ahead, and intends to purchase n boiler and engine before his return, with which to furnish power for n steam arastra, which he intends to erect in the near future. for the pur- pose of treating his ores on the ground, thereby saving the expense of haul. ing the product to tho Monarch mill, located a considerable distance across the mountain.
 The vein is associated with n DOT phyry dyke, which can bc traced for some distance in n northcrly and south. crly direction. It is located about q quarter of n mile north of the Pfau mine, on the eastern slope of the Black Hills range, overlooking the Verde Valley, about eighteen miles east of Dewey. the nearest accessible -ailroad station on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad. which is easily reached over the Middle Verde wagon road, which passes within n short dis. tance of the camp.
 Mir. Baker owns four other claims in the immediate vicinity. which are also promising properties. although not developed to any considerable extent, as yet.

STRIKE SlOO ORE IN GOLD COPPER MINE.
From ThursdNy's Daily.

Many rich discoveries have recently been made in the now famous Senator district, and this week n strike is rc. ported in the Gold.Copper mine, nd. joining the Senator and the Cash mines, of $l00 ore in one of its new prospect shafts.
 The ore Is oxidized iron, carrying gold, silver and copper. This main shaft was sunk on the croppings of a edge running parallel with the main ledge of the mine and gives promise of turning out n mine in itself.
 The Gold-Copper has been known for years as a property rich in min. eral. All of it's workings show bodies of orc carrying high values particular y in gold and copper. A 1OO.foot prospect tunnel on the main ledge is said to yield gold and copper orc run. ming from $30 to over $7O per ton i; what is now the main shaft shows ore of similar character, as do other shafts and cuts, particularly n shaft on the main ledge, oyer 200 feet south of the prospect tunnel.
 Tho present owners have also pur. chased the adjoining Iron Duke, and consolidated the two properties. This new acquisition has proved to be very valuable mining ground. It is adding greatly to tho value of the cOnsoli. dated mines by giving them deep working tunnel. The management is speedily pushing the opening up of the mine to completion. In the main shaft force of men Is at work sink. ing in n rich body of gold and copper ore, and new contract has just been given out Co drift 800 feet on the deep working tunnel, now about 300 feet under the mountain. Through thls working tunnel, having n back of about 300 feet, the entire mine will bo opened up and operated at the min imum cost-it will do away with the use of machinery and will be great economic feature by carrying the ore and water to the mill by gravity.
 About 200 feet ahead of the face of the deep tunnel, the ledge, rein. forced by cross and parallel lodges, as sumes the proportion of n dyke over hundred feet wide in places and GOV cred with n capping of speeular iron, showing gold values, the showing of the shaft on this dyke indicating the existence of a large body of ore.
 As soon as the deep korking tunnel, now within few hundred feet if it., taps the ore bodies under this iron capping, the management expects to be in n position to start shipments of tho high grade ores.
