When Reginald Wright Kaufman sci

IN this country hs took a room in a tene-
ment on the Fast Side and lived there
for eight months. A. that time he was
still connected with Ham pioH's Magazine
and every day he left his stopping place
and went away 20 work.
The people whom he met only knew
that he went somewhere 20 wcrk every
day. He didn't have much dificulty
m passing AZ harmless person. He
dressed quietly hut not shabbily. and he
went 20 those places where his material
would be most apt 90 appear.

he had a good talking knowledge Of the
problems which interested those with
whom he came IN contact His only
danger was in seeming too wise 80 he
hid what he knew under a habitual
quietness Of manner that was accepted
readily. His new made friends came 20
know that he didn't talk unless he Was
brought into the conversation. and they
liked 10 get his opinions
During the evenings a. first he got q
nodding acquaintance with the frequent
ers Of the ginmills in the nRighborhOOd
Over a glass Of beeT and few pipefuls
he managed to widen this into more
familiar friendEhip The men who came
to these places saw no danger in letting
him Overhear what they had 10 say 10
each other. and before long they talked
freely when he was around After that
all he had 10 do was 10 listen.
One night he sat az a table aud encOuF-
agei one or two men 20 tell him about
their work soon two OF three others
dropped in. and he heard them tell about
the luck they had had tha, day in WideninR z

lived After that he heard lot Of the

1t is said that good ore has been
struck on the 150-foot level of the
Black Eagle property.
The Mint lease, on the Coalition

on the 300-foot level of that prop
erty and they will soon make a
shipment to one of the local mills.
The lessees on the st. Ives, on
the Queen estate, are still cross
cutting on the 200-foot level, to
connect with the Grutt-Balloon Hill
vein that was opened up on the lat
ter lease at the 1S5 level about a
year ago.
At the Nugent lease, on the
Coalition, Manager Johnson is push
ing work and will soon cut the
Crown vein on this level. The
screenings now obtained will make
good mill ore.
The Portland lease, on the Coali-
ttion, is taking out good grade of
milling ore, and is awaiting an
opportunity to have it worked at
the Queen mill. From the new lead
on the 100-foot level they have ex-

The Alabama Amalgamated lease,
on the estate of the Rawhide Coali-
