BY MARY E. WILKINS-FREEMAN.

James was heartily glad when dinner was
over, and, at Doctor Gordon's request, he
followed him into his office.
Dr Gordon'S office was a small room
at the back of the house. II had an outer
door communicating with path which led
to the stable. Two sides of the room were
lined with medical books. and two with
bottles containing diverse colored mixtures.
A hanging lamp over the center of
long table in the middle of the room.
Around It dangled prisms, which cast RAIN
bow colors over everything. The first thing
which struck one on entering the room was
the extraordinary color schemes: the dull
CLEANS of the books, the medicine bottles
which had lights like jewels, and over all
the fickerss of prismatic hues. The long
table was covered with corks, empty bot
ties books a medicine case, and news
papers, besides a mighty inkstand and
writing materials. There were also box
of cigars a great leather tobacco pouch
and, interspersed among all, multitude
of pipes. The doctor drew a chair beside,
this chaotic table lit with rainbow lights.
and invited James to sit down. Sit down
a moment he said. "Will you have pipe
or cIgar?'
cigar, please" replied James, The doc
tor pushed the box toward him. James

was In truth not respectable to get en-
tirely drunk In Alton. II was genteel to
become set up exhilarated. but the real
gutter form of inebrfety was frowned upon
to a much greater extent than In many
places where there was less license.

tered. Immediately a grin of cnmrade-
ship overspread the pink face of the yell
iow-haireJ giant behind the bar. 'Hullo"
he responded. Just step into the other
room. and I'll be there right away
James followed DR.. Gordon into what was
evidently the state parlor of the hotel
There was haircloth furniture. and ma
hogany table, with various stains of con-
VITALITY upon its polished surface. There
was q fire the hearth, and on the mantel
stood some gilded Vases and glass case
of wax flowers: also stuffed canary un-

Then George K. entered, his rosy face
distended with "a smile of the most intense

had a chance to introduce James he said
"What'll you take, gentlemen"

George X, made bow and scraped his
foot at the same time with a curfously
boyish gesture. ''What'n you take?" he
asked again. That was evidently his
formula of hospitality, which must never
be delayed

Certainly not said James, He walked
on beside the doctor. and entered the house
more and more Inystified. James was not
sure, but he thought he heard the faintest
moan from upstairs. He glanced at Doctor
Gordou's face and it was again the face
of the man whom he had seen before going
to George ks.

''All right" answered James.
Soon he found himself seated at the
stained old mahogany table with the two
men, and between two glasses, a bottle and
a pitcher OF hot water. Doctor Gordon dealt
pack of dirty cards, while the hotel keeper
poured the apple jack. James could not help
staring at the elder doctor with more and
more amaZement. He seemedsto asSmilate
perfectly with his surroundings. The tor
mented expression had gone from his face.
He was simply convlvial, and of the same
sort as George K. He no longer looked
even a gentleman. He had become of the
soil, the New Jersey soil. AS they drank

The doctor had been removing his over
coat and hat. When he had hung them on
some stays horn in the hall, he went with
James into the living room.
There, beside the fire. sat the girl in
brown whom James had met that afternoon
on the road.

MAGAZINE
FRISCO WANTS PEOPLE ALONG LINE
TO ASSIST IN ABVER Using
THE COUNTRY
WILL GIVE CHICKASHA 4 BOOST
Representative Of the Literary Bureau
Pays the City Visit

H. Huson, representing the lit
erary bureau of the Frisco Rail-
way. was in the city yesterday on
an important mission. He is in
charge of the circulation of the
Frisco magazine, Southwest, - a
periodical issued monthly for the
purpose of advertising the towns
on the Frisco line and exploiting
tue resources of the country. 1t is
a neat publication, finely printed
and filled with first class matter,
and would make good reading in
any home.
Until recently this magazine has
been issued by the Frisco to the
extend of thousands Of copies
every month and has been circulat-
ed free. 1t has been placed in the
hands of homeseekers and prospcc-
tive investors in the Southwest, be
ing distributed widely over the
northern and eastern states, but
the postal authorities stepped in
and cut it ont OF the mails, because
it had no bona 6de paid circulation.
In order to meet this difficulty the
company proposes to secure 10000
subscribers to Southwest" at so
cents each, among the towns on
the line and then it will be permit
ted to circulate 10000 additional
sample copies per month among
people who desire information
about this country.
Mr.. Huson wants to obtain about
2co subscribers in Chickasha.
In addition to giving us maga
zine worth the money he proposes
during the winter to give the city
a fine four page write up in the
magazine which would be worth
the entire amount paid by the
town. The Frisco man met the adj
vertising committee Of the CONNER
cial club yesterday afternoon, who
were favorably impressed with
his proposition. He will return
probably next Friday and with the
assistance of our citizens endeavor
to secure the desired number OF
subscribers.

Of these facts for it was all done in

To get the straight of it, it all
came about in this fashion:
The time was the year 1913 and
the different events were ushered in
by drill Of the Chickasha Dust
Brigade, twelve young ladies led
Ly Miss Francis Davis. The leader
carried duster and the others
brooms. The evolutions they went
through with were fine and would
have done credit to professionals.

and 120 lawsuits, with alleged damages
on both sides aggregating S400, 100000, is
due entirely to John D. Ryan, presi-
dent of the Anaconda Copper company.
Messrs. Cole and Ryan were both
brought up at HoughtOn, Mich, where
they were school fellows together.
Later they have been associated in
mining enterprises, notably in the
North Butte, Y hicI has become one of
the astounding developments of this
copper camp.
Mr.. Ryan took charge of the Amalga-
mated mining interests in Butte in
June, 1894, and early concluded that
Mr.. .Heinze and his properties had been
underestimate. A political campaign
was Just beginning, and Mr.. Ryan
could do nothing except to enter battle
against Mr. Heinze- Both sides came
off with honor and each with increased
respect Cor the other.
In the spring Of 1905 Mr.. Ryan formu-
lated his plans for an Independent COM
and have harmonious relations with
both the Amalgamated and the United
Copper companies Six months Of nego-
tiations between Mr.. Ryan and Mr..
Heinze have EOw been COnsummated
with the assistance of Thomas F. Cole,
who raises the capital for the new cor
poration and has represented therein
substantially all of the Butte mining
interests. There will be no commits
sions and no water In the new COM
pany. nor will there be any public al
lOtment of shan eS.

"oRUBsTAKE" AGREEMENTS.
Should Be Written and Signed to
Avoid Trouble,

The discovery of a new mining dis
strict has in the past been so fruitful Of
litigation that it has become possible
to predict with a fair degree of certain
ty even the character Of the larger
proportion of lawsuits that will be filed,
saws Denver Mining Reporter. These
are mainly the outcome Of the custom
Of ''gTUbstaking," which in itself IS
commendable and has been responsible
for the discovery and successful deVeI-
opment of many mines The loose
manner in which agreements are en-
tered into, however, is one of the weak
points of the practice and should re-
ceive more attention for the benefit Of
both parties concerned.
It is an unfortunate trait Of human
nature that unless a record be made of
the transactions and agreements of to-
day. the changed conditions of a
year hence will SO alter the
meaning and import of those
transactions of a year ago as to forever
preclude the possibility Of living uD TO
them. If verbal grubstake agreement
be made and carried out for several
months or year, and no discoveries
be made to encourage the party who is
bearing the expense, it is not at all i'm
probable that he will. by a series of
mental cOntOTtiCns, convince himself
that he has been bearing more than his
share of the burden and that any dis
cOveries made cannot be shared equal
". If at this critical moment, the man
in the field should strike a valuable ore
deposit. the mertal attitude of his part
ner at home would be intensified by the
prospects of acquiring sudden wealth
and The result would be that the man
in the field would be left out of con-
sheraton His only redress would lie
in an appeal to the courts for Justice,
but if he were not possessed of an
agreement which would stand the tech
meal requirements of the law, his
chances of obtaining justice would be
scant.
The necessity for written grubstake
agreements is Just as urgent as for any
other purpose, and should be insisted
upo1 by both parties to the contract
The subtleties Of human nature and
the ingenious mental habits of many
persons are past understanding and
every precautiOn should be taken to an
ticipate and prevent trouble that might
rise therefrOm.

RAISED THE WAGE SCALE.
United States Company Voluntarily
Advances WAGES at Eureka, New.

The Richmond-Eureka Mining COM
pany, now controlled by the United
States company, last week sent a, tele-
gram. to the Eureka office stating that
beginning Feb. 1 the pay of all miners
employed in the cOmpany'S mines viii
be SO q day, timbermen $3.50, and timber
helpers 1925. This is giving all skilled
labor underground an advance of 80
cents. per day
The company had the question Of
wages on Ruby Hill under cOnsidera-
ton for some time, and Manager of
Mines c. E. Allen and Superintendent
A. P Mayberry during a recent visit
to Eureka looked into the matter very
thoroughly and upon their return to
Salt Lake a decision to increase the
wages was decided upon, the manage
ment Of the Richmond-Eureka company
being convinced that with the cost Of
living in Eureka, this was a fair and
Just scale Of wages.
To handle Eureka's increasing output
the Eureka & Palisade has rebuilt the
three-mile railroad from Eureka to

The boom that started about New
Year, lasting one month, and ceasing

Gus, probably due, however, to the
large buying orders from eastern points,
through the great activity of the
Schwab crowd, in handling their prop

that strikes of Importance have been
made in the Golden Anchor, Ohio, Mo-

of such magnitude that I firmly believe

Drifting is still going on at the North
Mammoth which is being operated I'M

that a winze will be sunk for the pur-
pose Of getting beneath the floor of the
large cave which was discovered some
time ago., and when this Is done 1t is
almost certain that ore will be en-
countered. There has been a marked
Improvement recently in the character

as it is in new territory. The ore runs
high IN a manner which leads Superin-
tendent Doty to believe that the strike
is one of the most important that has
been made at the Beck in several
months Yesterday the Bullion-Be

ore IS a splendid shipping grade and
has been put aside until such time as
there is sufficient to make a shipment.
The Balhinch property will undoubted-
~ take its place among the shippers
before the end of the coming summer.
J. G. Jensen, who is in charge Of the
Uncle Sam mill, states that the plant
is doing splendid work and that with
the one shift the output exceeds two
large carloads of concentrates per
month. Just at present superintendent
c. c. Griygs of the Uncle Sam has his
forces at work on first and second-class
ore, a large quantity Of which is now
being shipped and only a small amount
Of the lOw-gTade milling ore is being
taken from the mine, the remainder
necessary to keep the mill in operation
coming from the dump. The Uncle Sam
mine has improved wonderfully during
the past few months and it is generally
understood that the dividends which
have been checked out do not represent
the earnings Of the mine by any means
and that the surplus in the treasury is
being increased each month.
