Phases Of The Game

Mining is practically the only avenue
by which men may reach sudden
opulence without treading on the stoop-
ing shoulders and lean purses of the
toilers who compose the underlying
social strata.
Frequently one of the toilers is caught
in the upheaval of q newly discovered
mining camp, and tossed to dizzy
height in the realm of ''frenzied
finance" AS soon as the new arrival
has had time to catch his breath and
look about, he sees the predatory rich"
occupying isolated hills slightly above
the ''well-to dos" are all longing to
move to predatory hill," while the
residents of that desirable locality are
straining every nerve to reach the dens
of the ''malefactors of great wealth.
and join that piratical crew. He joins
in the scramble.
If the newcomers wallet is fat enough
TO attract the attention of the topnotch-
ers, the way is made smooth and easy
for his tender feet. Almost before he
knews where he is he finds himself
precning his new plumage and gazing
with contempt upon the vulgar horde
below. 1t frequently happens that be-
fore he has become accustomed to the
altitude; is still dizzy, in fact some of
the annonted relieve him of his dump"
and let him fall.
When this happens, the gentleman
usually finds that the top of his par
achute has been tempered with and he
has neglected to prepare for such an
emergency. When the toilers see him
coming they usually manage to side-step
and let him break through to the level
occupied by other 'has-beens. This
accomplished, they throw II few rocks
on top of him to prevent bis rising
again, and leave him to his memories.
Should the newly-risen manage to
keep IL precariOus foOthOld among the
''predatories, he soon imagines that
the woman who help him to rise is no
longer Il credit to him and consequently
must be disposed of. A peroxide afin
ity looms up in the foreground and the
"old woman" looks parenu when com
pared with this blonde vision. Divorce

Solomon made the first dazzling Sue
cess in mining. He had a thouCand
wives. Since his day no one has been
able to do so well, but most of them do
rs wei! - they can. Sol. was wise
clough to make his own laws. Had he
been hampercd by cruel public per-
laps his record would not greatly ex-
coed some of the more modern achieve
mcntS.
These records of evil all find their
way into newspapers. Smith reads
them, SO does wise. Smith decides OH a
fier in mining stock He thinks of the
easy way of making money while wife
thinks of the affinity" and objects.
The result is that Smith steals into
