Omega Mine a Bonanza

The Omega mine, which was some months ago purchased by Louis Zeck- endorf for s, 800 at the receivers sale of the properties of l.. Zeckendorf & Co.,, is proving to be quite bonanza. These mines, which were reported as worthless are today valued at over $l, 1000, 900, and the stock of which six months ago was selling at S2 cannot now be purchased for less than $lO par. The dump pile of ore which was considered refuse. was discovered to be of sufficient value to ship to a reduc- tion works, and it is said has already returned MT. Zeckendorf more than $3O,O00. That micing expert who reported the mine worthless has been fired by MT. Zeck ckendorfs former busi- ness partner. He ought to apply for job from Mir Zeckendorf, who is a large beneficiary as the result of his expert ignorance. The Omega mine is now taking rank as the coming bo- nanza copper producer of Pima coun- ty.-Star.

Education Law Enforced.

Sheriff Livingston and City Mar shal Anderson are about to commence a thorough canvass of the town to de- termIne what children of school age are not attending school. The law provides for the punishment of par ents who cannot give a satisfactory reason for keeping their children from school, and it is the intention of the officers to bring before the law all parents who have neglected to fulfil the requirements of the educational law. There are at present large number of children who, for no ap- parent reason, are not attending school, and it is to the ultimate good of the community to see that all chil- dren receive all the privileges of the public schools. The canvass will be- gin at once and every effort made to determine the reason there are SO many children on the streets during school hours.-Yuma Sun.

cons anly in demand for art studio" by the local
photographers In time these pictures appeared
in the magazines, and were usually accompanied by
rather startling tales of the past and present of
this and extremely beautiful addition to the
American stage. She had confdingly placed herself
in the hands of her press agent and he had supplied
her lavishly with an imaginary private electric
brougham, French touring car, and jewels that
would make ia Vince with envy.
During the winter months these pictures and the
wonder tales of the spendthrift beauty reached
New York and eventually found their way into the
big room of Wiley Grey & Co., where they
welcomed with signs of delight and without iota
of doubt as to their absolute truthfulness. Not
outstanding the somewhat decollete appearance
of Miss Lorelle in the Photographic studies, she
became at once the patron saint of the office where
she had so recently been a humble employee.
Every desk contained one or more of her pictures,
read aloud to wide eyed wondernent. Her
past life in the big room gone over with
wonderful minuteness, and her every simple kind
ness was developed into deed of splendid heroisn.
And through all this spirit of loyalty and admiration
there word or thought of envy One of
their own had one night passed out of their work
aday, monotonous life and had suddenly appeared
brilliant light in world of which they could only
read and of which they could really know but little
In the natural course of events they knew that
day she must return to New York, and the
young women waited patiently for the day.
This day came early in June. 1t was the first of

the summer musical productions and most of New
York waited for the event with its usual torpid
interest Miss Lorelle had been featured in the news
papers to the exact limit that the star and
the comedian would permit, and it must be said that
the audience liked this girl from the West.
They liked her almost perfect beauty and they liked
the way she moved about the stage. and a certain
conviction with which she read her lines, and the
unusual intelligence which she used in singing her
song. 1t very far from an ovation; but her
reception out of all proportion to the part she
played, and the critics, who like the unusual said
much in their reviews the morning following
With accord they dismissed the light voice with
a few words and stopped to praise at some length
the beauty and the resources of this young girl
who had found flowers where the authors had
planted only weeds.
At probably place in New York were these
notices eagerly read, so much discussed, as in
the big room of Wiley, Grey & Co. The seven girls
laughed and rejoced over them, perhaps cried
a little them, and mentally agreed to
buy paper again because it fell far below the
others in prasing their favorte. Individually they
had each sent her telegram, and collectively they
represented by large bunch of roses the cost
of which was out of all proportion to their weekly
salaries. Exactly how she was to acknowledge

their hats and wraps, when they suddenly
startled by of COnSte formation from the direction
of Miss Crawford's desk. The girls promptly gath
cred about their fellow clerk and gazed anxously
on the letter which she held in her hand, which
without doubt had been the of the excitement.
With much emphasis Miss Crawford read the docu-
rnent aloud to her fellow workers. 1t very
simple letter. saying good by to six young women
whom during working hours Miss Lorelle had known
rather intimately and of whom in her own way
she very fond. When the signature of the letter
had been read with proper emphasis, the five young
who had been standing about Miss Craw-
fords desk gazed at each other with wide eyed
wonder. The idea of employee leaving the firm
of Wiley, Grey & Co. night was without prece-
dent and almost criminal in its suddenness.
Anna Wilson, black eyed girl in short dresses,
who was really a girl office boy, and much the
youngest of the group made slight effort to control
her feelings, and burying her head in her arms on
Miss Crawfords desk, burst into violent weeping.
1t was the first break she had ever experienced in
an official family and then besides Miss Lorelle had
always treated her with great kindness and just
if she was not very young girl but woman like
the rest of them Perhaps it was shock, or perhaps
it was that the other girl clerks shared the feeling
of Miss Wilson, weeping on the desk, and had
better control the Jumps that were rising and
falling in their throats; but in any there were
MANY moments of silence that followed the reading
of the letter Each of these girls knew that Miss
Lorelle was not good clerk that she had lndlv1du
allv helped her constantly with her work, and that

these tokens of regard was matter of little
moment, and frequently and vivaciously
discussed the day following the debut the notices
in. the morning newspapers. Some believed that
she would return their thoughtfulness in kind,
telegram for telegram and flower for flower, while
others hoped for nothing than polite note
of thanks that would cover all cases.
The matter decided late in the afternoon,
when Miss Lorelle herself appeared in the doorway
of the big room. For brief moment the seven
young women sat staring open eyed at this wonder
full vision of loneliness laughing and walking toward
them with outstretched hands, and then, wholly
forgetting that the lady in the salmon pink cloth
dress was their patron saint they to her and
threw their about her and remembered only
that she was their old pal Maggie Lorelle. To
chorus of many questions and hystercal laughter
Miss Lorelle half dragged, half carried, to the
nearest desk, where they put her down in chair,
and then all gathered about, as closely they
conveniently could. Some sat on the desk, and
others sat the floor, and still others had to
themselves with outer fringe of chairs. For
few moments there silence, while Miss Lorelle
beamed joyousy at the seven young women, while
the eyes of the seven young strayed from the
close fitting salmon pink coat to the creaseless
skirt, the patent leather ties, the black silk stock
ings, to the glistening white kid gloves, and to
the black picture hat with the great bow of pink
velvet.
Miss Cregar, who usually regarded as the dean
of the clerks, the first to break these moments
of silent adulation. Maggie she said Il want you

faces about her.

And the beautiful fiat in Chicago?" asked Miss
Wilson.
Miss Lorelle shook her head, and fairly laughed
aloud. Just dream of the press agent. When he
wrote that, was living in boarding house trying
to enough money to buy few good clothes and
imitation pearls
And the man that wrote that knew it all the
time?" asked dismayed voice from the fringe of
chairs

employer, as the that offered the least re-

of the profession, she turned to the agencies, and

part of the remainder of each twenty -four hours
1t was very, very hard work, but it at least taught
her ease and the rudments of acting.

she's the girl that took
your place when you
left"
A young girl with very
red cheeks sitting on the
floor blushed violently,
although in the confusion
she had embraced Miss
Lorelle as enthusiastically
as the others, and nodded
her head several times in
the general direction of
the actress.
Miss Lorel1e smiled
cheerfully and took the
girls outstretched hand
in both of hers. / have

gram, and for your share

the best part of last night,
girls,-the kilograms and

a very slight quaver in
the voice of the speaker.
You see, it showed me
how you all remembered
me, and that you had
probably been interested
in what l was doing"
"Oh, we followed you
all right" said Anna Will
son from her perch on the
top of the desk. We
saw all your pictures in
the papers and the maya
zines, and we read all they
said about you, and the
automobiles and the dia-
monds you got. Did you
come down here in your
automobile?"
Miss Lorelle looked up
suddenly into the eyes of
the speaker and then in
to those of the little group
gathered about her. The

shield Miss Lorelle's de-
ficiencies from the ever
watchful eyes of the Jun
ior Partner. And yet at
that moment they would
have given up many
hours of their own time
to have had her back at
her old desk. Perhaps it
was the thoughtfulness of
the girl who had left them
that inspired these
thoughts, or perhaps it
was her flowerlike beauty,
or perhaps it was the I'M
spoken thought that she
was just a little different
from themselves-of a
slightly different mold
and of just a trifie finer
clay.
Be that as it may, any
further discussion of the
situation was rendered
impossible by the appear
ance of the Junior Part
ner. He stopped for a
moment at the desk of
Miss Crawford and ar
ranged for a fair division
of Miss Lorelle's work un-
til her successor should
have been selected. With
these slight changes, the
work of the office, at
least outwardly, contin-
ued on it's even way.
1t is probable that had
Miss Lorelle returned to
the daily grind of desk
work in another quarter
of the city, or had she
pursued some equally un-
ostentatious calling, the
record of her recent bust
ness life would have fast
faded into a pleasant
memory. But Miss Lor-
