Tombstone PROPRIETOR. There
seems to be a revival in the mining
industry in Cochise county judging
from the number of new mining
companies that are being formed
and organized for business. During
the present month there has been
recorded in the office for the county
recorder no less than six articles OF
incorporation of as many different
companies besides the amendment
to several others.
Silver Silver: An ore body sc

the crosscut from the $50 foot level
of the old Black Hawk workings,
which body is, by far, the greatest

THE STORY.

W HATEVER the trouble that had
w overtaken Mordecai, Queen Esther
felt confident that she would be able
to help him. So confident was she OF
this, in fact, that when she had dis
patched Hatach with her last message
telling Mordecai that whatever his
trouble she would help him, she quite
dismissed the matter from her mind
believing that Hatach would be able
to afford the relief which her cousin
needed.
In this frame of mind she continued
her planning for some social function
which was to bring the women OF the
palace together and help to relieve the
tedium of the place, and was quite un.
prepared for the message of Hatach
when he presented himself at the door
OF her apartments the next morning
and pressed the importance of secret
interview.
What tidings bring your" cried the
queen in some alarm, for she saw by
the countenance of Hatach that he
was the bearer of ominous tidings, "Is
Mordecai safe?'
Yes, and no." Hatach replied. "And
as for ourselves as Jews we are all in
peril" And he went on to tell her
Of the decree which the king had sent
forth at the prompting Of Hannah, or
dering that all the Jews in all the
realm, both old and young, men, WON
an and children, should on certain
day be slain.
And Mordecai pleadeth with thee
that thou shouldst go in unto the king
and plead with him for the lives of thy
people, yea, and for thine own life,
too"
Leave me to think" cried the
queen, wringing her hands. "Oh, this
Is terrible
When alone she threw herself upon
her couch and. burying her face in the
soft cushions that her voice might be
Eti1ed, she gave way to the flood of
grief which overcame her. Fear and
sorrow, superstitious dread and angry
resentment filed her heart and swept
her in fierce passion like a helpless
ship in the grasp of terrible storm.

Day of the Lobbyist Gone.

"The talk still going on up and
down the country about the hordes OF
lobbyists in Washington is bound to
be amusing to folks who know the
real situation. It has been so many
years since had a good square look
at a genuine, sure-enough Washington
lobbyist that l wouldn't know how to
act if l saw one," declared an old resi-
dent.
1.-THE lobbyist Of Washington is al
most if not altogether a type of the
past, and none of the old-tfme lobby
ing methods is used any more. Those
antique yarns about representatives in
congress finding bundles of $1,000
bills in their overcoat pockets upon
leaving dinners given by famous lob
byists are still occasionally revived.
but everybody who knows which way
Pennsylvania avenue runs knows that
If ever those yarns had shadow of
truth in them they haven't now"

the healthy brother, who was learning
to manufacture boots in the prison
workshop.
The elder Gilfllan had deep pools
of sentiment beneath a rough ex-
terror. Furthermore, he took no heed
of consequence. He pictured the sick
brother, waiting tobacco1ess in the
dreary hospital, and he took chance
to supply him. The chance was a
risky one. While passing the barred
hospital yard he dexterously jerked
small cube of tobacco to the white
faced brother, who happened to be
walking up and down inside, and he
breathed tremendous sigh of relief
when he became certain that the
warder in charge of the squad had not
noticed the action. The elder Gilfillan
was not afraid of any punishment that
might fall upon himself; he was afarid
lest the morsel of tobacco would be
taken away from the sick youth who
craved the delicacy.
But Nemesis was galloping on the
heels of the two Gilfillans. Warder
Bulstrode, looking down from his
perch on the south tower, saw the
movement, and Bulstrode was a con-
scientious officer. Five minutes after
the younger brother was stripped of
the miserable gift, and the giver was
dragged before the chief warder and
sentenced to seven days dark cell for
breach of prison discipline. In iail
charity is a virtue that is promptIv
smothered when the powers that be
become aware of its existence.
1t was the elder Gilfillan's first intro
duction to the dark cell. When he
was pushed into the windowless cham.
Der, the horrible, intense, suffocating
darkness closed in upon him like a
smothering pail. Blind and stupefied
he CROPPED his way around the bare
walls, the horror piercing him through
and through like an icy sword. After
wards he flung himself on the stone
floor and lay like a man stunned nv a
terrific blow.
Some hours later he thought of the
button. A medical student, who had
once undergone term of imprison-
ment at Enlota, had promulgated a
theory by which the mental agony pro-
duced by dark cell treatment could
be considerably relieved. He advised
all prisoner friends who might visit
"The Doghole" to toss a button into
the air, and while away the time by
searching for it on hands and knees
stood the value of little things, and
he recognized the fact that a con-
tinuous hunt for missing button
would drag the mind away from the
black abyss of insanity.
Gilfillan, cropping blindly in the
darkness, remembered the advice. He
ripped button from his striped
jacket and tossed 1t into the thick air.
Listening intently he heard it fall in

the great avenue are about 25 built-up
blocks, trayersed by three avenues
Missouri, Louisiana and Ohio-and
streets, Third to Fifteenth and B and
E inclusive
1t is an old plan to restore this
truncated triangle, or trapezoid, if you
will, to the public domain that the
Mall may be extended to Pennsylvania
avenue, and that federal buildings, as
the government needs them, or as con-
gress elects, shall be built along the
south side of this great way in set
ting of green gardens.
That the national government needs
buildings in Washington is fact The
building program authorized by con-
gress has never kept pace with the
ueed for buildings. Two Of the ex-
ecutfve departments-the department
of commerce and labor and the de-
partment of justice-are housed in
rented quarters and list of govern
ment bureaus, divisions and Offices in
rented rooms would be tiresomely
long.
A common policy Of congress has
been when the construction of a new
public building was determined on, to
select as its site one Of the public
parks, or part of a public park. These
reservations" like the streets and
avenues in the District of Columbia,
are not owned by the city of Washing
ton, but by the United States. The
policy of setting up public structures
In the city parks brought protest from
the citizens of Washington, who see
that this policy, if persisted in, would
convert the park space in the city into
building sites. The people Of Wash
ington on the whole consider beauty
one of the assets of the city, and want
the parks preserved as beauty spots
and recreation centers. They object
that the national government should
treat the parks of the capital as va
cant building lots.
