As my suggestion was again met with satisfaction all aroun' the boys got rope and We proceeded for the Do Drop Inn bar. where Simmina hung out"
 Sure enough he was thar when We walked in and at the sight of the rope he turned pale as a ghost. one of the boys told him We was a goin' to string In np and believe me or not. that poor sucker got down on his 'ands and kneoa and cried like a rapoose Laugh. well us feilers just peeled After maxim the skunk buy drinks for the house n couple of times. Fox Morton slipped the rope aroun' his skinny neck and led him out of the room. with us a trailin' behind pokin' fun at i'm
 We took Simmins down to the hay where the ice was a frozen tight and tole him to say his prayers as we in tended to drown him. Well sir. that crazy galoot got down on his four paws again and begged and cried for us to let i'm go. He swore by all that was holy that he'd git out of the camp an never return if We sot i'm free"
 But we couldn't see it that way at all. Mark Brown chops big square hole in the ice where the tempeture Is at the lowest. Then we made Simmins strip till he was stark naked. Lord how that man shivered and the snow wasn't fallin' very heavy at that. Next We resumes the rope about his waist and lowers i'm slowly into the ice wa ter. Holy cats! That guy gives a yell what would put the fear o' God into any mans heart. After leavin' the skunk in the cooler for some seconds We drug him out nor dead than alive"
 The boys put the clothes back on i'm, all exceptin' his socks and shoes Them We tossed into the water. The speaker o' the day then gives Hank Simmins such cussin' as he never heard be- fore. When the speaker ran out of tin We all exhausted our stock. Then We turns i'm loose bare footed an tells i'm to beat it. which he did in some lively fashion,
 That's the last We saw of any of the Soapy Smith gang aroun these parts" concluded Bill, and I'll bet my last dust that the skunk will remember us boys and this ere camp till the blsters are off his feet. anyway"

You've heard tell about Soapy Smiths operations in Skagway during the early days. no doubt but did you ever hear tell about Hank Simmins- Soapy's agent here" said Bin Duean a- he turned down the flaring lamp in the old shack. We all replied in the negative x" Bill stirred m the stove fire. refilled his pipe and settled down comfortably in his arm chair nrera . latory |" unfolding the story which he was itching to get out or his system Al last Bill got his pipe in working order and had found a aoft srot on his chair
 This CT chap Simmns was a mor- tally tough geezer when he was load ed with hootch but when he was sober mickininy could a bluffed i'm. One night the boys had all gathered at the roundin' house for a conference as to what should he done with Simmjns- whether he should be run out of camp or dropped down a shaft" Bill stop- ped Tor moment to wheeze.
 Now If you remember rightly" con. tinued Bill. this man Hank Simmins had been terrifyin' the winning folks aroun' the camp by his nefarious car. ryin' on. He had entered houses and biuffed the winning folk into hanen' over all their money had N.ools and also. he made 'em feed him"
 So when we gathered for the con- ference that night We was some indIg nant The speaker of the house. as if was. called the meetin' to some kind of order and after it was quiet enough t1 hear a 500 pound sledgc hammer drop. he asked for proposals in regard to the doin away with Hank Sim mins"

COLD STRIKE IS MADE
IN BLACK BUCK MINE
Sample Taken to Prescott Shows
Rich VaIueS-0re Attracts
Wide Attention

PRESCOTT, Aug. ID. NJ. Cook,
president of the Columbus Copper COM
pany, located in the Black Hills, near
the Arizona Copper company's camp,
brought to the city a 300-pound sample
of ore taken from recent development
on the Black Buck claim, that is at
tracing considera BILE interest among
mining men who have inspected it.
The strike, which carries silver, cop
per, gold and lead, was made in a
shaft 60 feet deep, while the company
was performing it's annual assessment
work, and through the results accom-
plished, it is the purpose of the COM
pany to continue a plan at once for the
beginning of development on an extern
sive scale.
Assays taken from the shaft pre-
vious to the striking of this new ore
condition ranged from $3.50 to $64 a ton,
in a vein that measured six feet
through. The new ore body is over
two feet thick, while the vein carries
mineral values at least six feet across.
In speaking of general mining con-
ditions prevailing in that immediate
vicinity, Mr. Cook says more active
development is noticeable than in many
years past, the good showing on the
Shylock, with the Little Daisy es-
tablished as one of the big mines, con-
veying the belief that the Black Hills
field to the south carries identical
geological conditions to those prevail
ing in the neighborhood of the Jerome
bonanza. Many investors are also
visiting that section, and all are very
deeply impressed and predict many
big mines with development.

DAILY OIL OUTPUT

A total Of 47.700 barrels of oil Is the
daily production of four companies which

dent, as follows:

Mexican Petroleum, Is wells, San Luis

which produce 1880 barrels daily, as
follows: No. 10, $4,000; No. IS, 1000; No.
67, 1000; No. 68, 1880. No. 10 is the
company's oldest well, and would flow
$500 to 1000 barrels daily II it should be
cleaned out. This Is not done because
the company is now producing as much
oil as it can care for with IT'S present

LOOKS LIKE SPELLACY
WILL WIN DAMAGE SUIT

BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 19.-Victory
for Timothy Spellacy is indicated in the
general conclusions expressed by Judge
Monroe, at the close of evidence in the
suit brought by C. S. Young, oil opera
tor asking for judgment of $2,14O,0 900 and
damages of 100000, on account of their
partnership operations in the Kern
county oil fields from 1901 to 1906.
The claim for 100000 damages was
voluntarily abandoned by Young. He
asked that his present interest in the
Mascot and Illinois Crude Oil COM
panies be based on his showing of an
original investment with Timothy Spell
lacy of $4,000. Spellacy contended that
he was forced to accept Spellacy's
figures. This will allow Young one
eighth interest in the Mascot Oil COM
pany, 81, 500, 900 corporation and one
twelfth interest in the Illinois Crude, a
100000 corporation, all arising from the
$4,000 investment.
The exact amount to be given to
Young will be determined August "a,
when the court passes upon the list of
expenditures and disbursements made
by Spellacy and Young in the conduct
of their joint business interests.

ELECTRIC LINE WILL Be
EXTENDED TO LUCKY BOY
Company Building Plant on Mono
Lake Expects to Tap
Progressive Camp

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 19.-In speaking
of the Lucky Boy mine recently, ]. H.
Miller president of the Goldfeld Ala
mo NJ. & L. company, who is operat-
ing the property, says that the mines
at Lucky Boy are looking especially
good, and that the new gold camp of
Ramona is coming along in encourage
ing fashion, says the Western Nevada
Miner
More ore than ever before is in sight
in the Alamo company workings. The
650-level is into the outer edge of the
big ore shoot that has been followed
downward some distance by a winze
from the 550-level, west of the shaft
and it shows a foot of the highest
grade ore ever found in the mine.
A nice streak of ore is being followed
west on the 550-level, and now close
to the Silver Moon lease ground, so
that it seems most probable that the
Silver Moon will catch bonanza ore at
this depth. East of the shaft the Ala
mo workings e also showing good
ore, but the strongest ore bodies in
the company workings are west of the
shaft in the lower levels, as the shoots
seem to take to the west. Sinking is
stu in progress.
Another rich strike has been made
during the last couple of days in the
Broken Hills lease, in addition to the
rich ore discovered last week on the
300-level by cross cutting from the foot
to the hanging wall. The latest discov-
cry is on the 125-level, where a foot of
rich ore that was heretofore unknown
has been opened by prosecuting in the
same manner as on the 300-leVel.
Mr.. Miller anticipates the power line
of the Pacific Hydro Electric Power
Jmpany, which is now installing a big
plant near Mono lake, will be extend
ed into Lucky Boy in September cut
ting across the country from Aurora,
and possibly hitting Ramona or close
thereto. A proposition has been made
to the Alamo company to take $4,000
worth of the bonds of the power COM
pany, and if a satisfactory understand
ing can be arrived at Mr.. Miller is ia
vorable to accept the opportunity for
getting electric power into Lucky Boy.
Rapid work is being made on the
power plant at Jordan, near Mono lake,
and on the lines into Bedie and Aurora
Nearly all of the material has been de-
livered and work is being pushed en-
ergetically to get the juice flowing at
the earliest possible moment.
