a a MEASURE.

The passage by the Senate of
the Postal Savings bank bill on
Saturday is the first of the Taft
measures to be passed by either
House. The bill provides that all
money order Offices shall receive
for deposit any amount from
one dollar to five hundred dol
lars, the deposits to be kept with
local banks. 1t is estimated that
the measure will bring into cir
culation from five hundred mil
lion to a billion dollars which is
not now in circulation.
This measure was passed by
a party vote, the only democrat
voting for the measure being
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon.
1t is not in accord with the
views Of democrats for the
government to go into the bank
ing business. We have both
state and national banking sys-
TENS that afford the commercial
world the necessary means for
carrying on the business of the
country. The government should
not become, in our opinion, the
banker for the people through a
s, stem of savings banks or by
the establishment of a great CEN
trail nalk under governmental
control. The directors of this
vast system will be influenced
more or less by the wishes OF the
great financial interests on Wall
street and the money Of the PEG

CHAPTER XxxlV.
WickWire.

McCloud and Dicksie met them at
the porch door. Marion, unnerve6,
went directly to her room. Whisper
ing Smith stopped to speak to Dicksie
and McCloud interposed. Bob Scott
telephoned the Office just now he haG
man from Oroville who wanted to
see you right away, Gordon" said he.
Il told him to send him over here. 1t
Is Wickwire."
"Wickwire," repeated Whispering
Smith. "Wickwire has no business
here that know Of; no doubt it is
something | ought to know of. And.
by the way, you ought to see this
man." he said, turning again to Dick
sic. IF MeCloud tells the story right.
Wickwire is sort of protege of yours.
Miss Dicksie, though neither of you
seems to have known it. He is the
tramp co fhoy who was smashed up In
the wreck at Smoky creek. He is not
bad man, but whisky, you know,
! beats some decent men" A footstep
fell on the porch. There he comes
now, l reckon. Shall l let him in
minute?"
oh, | should like to see him. He
has been at the ranch at different
times, you know"
Smith opened the door and stepping
out on the porch talked with the new
conner. In moment he brought him
IN. Dicksie had seated herself on the
sofa, McCloud stood in the doorway of
the dining room, and Whispering
Smith laid one arm on the table as he
sat down beside 1t with his face above
the dark shade Of the lamp. Before
him stood Wickwire. The half-Iight
threw him up tall and dark, but it
showed the heavy shock of black hair
falling over his forehead, and the
broad, thin face Of a mountain man.
He has just been telling me that
Seagrue is loose" Whispering Smith
explained, pleasantly. Who turned
the trick, Wickwire?"
Sheriff Coon and a deputy jailer
started with Seagrue for Medicine
Bend this morning. Coming through
Horse Eye canyon, Murray Sinclair and
Barney Rebstock got a clean drop on
them, took Seagrue, and they all rode
OF together. They didn't make any
bones about it, either. Their gang
has got lots Of friends over there, you
know. They rode into Atlantic City
and stayed over an hour. Coon tracked
them there and got up posse Of six
men. The three were standing in
front of the bank when the sheriff
rode into town. Sinclair and Seagrue
got on their horses and started Of.
Rebstock went back to get another
drink. When he came out Of the sa-
loon he gave the posse a gun-nght al
by himself, and wounded two men and
made his getaway"

JOHNNIE MINE GETS
READY FOR BIG RUN

The Johnnie Mining and Milling
company of Johnnie, New, has reached
the SOO-foot level in the sinking of it's
incline shaft, the distance between the
ZOO and 500 having been sunk during
the last month. A cross-cut is now
being run for the ore body, an estl-
mated distance of between 1SO and 14O
feet.
The vein should be reached within
the next two months. Sullivan ar
drills have been used in sinking and
will be employed in the driving of the
cross-cut.
The sixteen Nissen stamps in the
companys mill were in active and
steady service during the month OF
May, the Lane slow speed Chilian mill
having been hung UP pending the in
stallation of a solid track and a gen.
eral overhauling. Both the Nissens
and the Lane will be in full commits
sion shortly, and a good months run
is anticipated. The Nissen stamps
treated an average of seventy tons of
ore a day during the month of May.
The bullion production for that period,
which was shipped a few days ago,
has a valuation of approximately
$11, 900 to $4,000.

JERGINS MAKES HIS WELL
INCREASE TO 1000 BARRELS

A. T. Jergins Of the California Mid
way Oil company, who is comparatively
a tyro in oil matters, is giving the
veterans the laugh this week, on ac-
count of a stunt which he has just put
over with we'll NO. L on his company's
property. This well, which started out
with a production of about 1000 barrels
a day, dropped to about 700 barrels,
fluctuating between that and 500. The
well was down 1856 feet, and Jergins
could not see why it should not do as
well as the other big. producers in the
vicinity. 1t had come in when the
drillers were within ten feet of the oil
sand, and was operated with the aid
of a circulating tube with 412-inch cas-
ing.
After studying the situation Jergins
suggested that the we'll should be deep
ened by drilling inside of the 41a-inch
casing and sinking 3h-inch casing
right down into the oil sand. The old
oil men declared the scheme was not
feasible, but Jergins insisted and finally
had his way. He went out to the field
last week to superintend the proceed
ings personally. The circulating tube
was withdrawn and the drilling begun.
The plan succeeded even better than
had been expected. The 34-inch per-
forated casing was sunk sixteen feet,
taking it well into the oil sand, and
Immediately the well began to flow
between 1900 and 1000 barrels a day,
and it has been keeping this up ever
since last Saturday
