MIR. Moffett has for years been num-
bered among the most prolific and sue
cessful of American authors and is
gaining much fame as a playwright.
After graduating from Yale in 1888 he
took up journalism in New York and
was a star writer on one of the city's
biggest dailies. During his spare time
he wrote for the magazines and finally
gave up newspaper work to devote all
MS attention to writing books, many
OF which have proved successful. In
THE Battle" he has given us a tale
that few care to lay aside until fin
ished.
An interesting story is told by Hutch
ms Hapgood. author of 1.-THE Spirit of
the Ghetto" which has just been re-
vised for a new edition, about the man
who illustrated that work eight years
ago, when 1t was first published. 1t
seems that the illustrator, Jacob Ep-
stein, was a poor struggling artist of
the east side Of New York. He lived
In a ramshackle tenement in Hester
street, and Mr.. Hapgood became ac-
quainted with him. He was very tai.
ented. and the dream Of his life at that
time was to 60 to Italy and France
and perfect his studies, but lack Of
means prevented him. The opportuni-
ty came to him, however, when he
made the arrangement for illustrating
1.-THE Spirit Of the Ghetto" 1t was a
labor Of months, but the ambitious
young artist stinted himself in every
way and laid aside every cent which
was paid him for this work.
With this money he undertook his
trip to Europe. and it seems he has
never returned to this country. From
painting he went to sculpture and has
made his mark in his new profession.
He nov lives in London In luxurious
style. 1t is a remarkable rise in life
when 1t is considered that he illustrat-
Cd the ghetto book only eight years
ago.

VETERAN p%rospectors in various
parts Of the Spokane country,
washington, are making prep
arations for a rush into the iso-
lated Bruneau district, in southwestern
Idaho, 100 miles from the Nevada
border, where D. A. Bourne. formerly
of Ely and other camps in the west,
claims to have relocated the Lost
Sheepherder's mine. The finder has
returned to civilization with a story of
discovery that has made the most sea-
soned miners sit up and take notice,
saying that the telluride ore carries
values as high as $4,000 to the ton,
that the smallest return from samples
taken at random was $3.50 and that
there is surface ore Of a value of more
than $1,5OO.OOO in sight and can be
quarried like building stone. Bourne's
story follows:
"The Lost Sheepherder's mine was
talked of and generally counted upon
Tor thirty years prior to my discov-
cry. l heard about it myself and
looked upon the story as one of those
yarns that a mining a gets accus-
toned to hearing. That such q mine
existed ! was not so sure. but l knew

as rich as the stories would Indicate

is simply wonderful-amazing"
Mrs. Peterby did not join in his en-
thusiasm. She shifted uneasily in her
chair.
"You would think anything was
good" she replied. you've just had a
good dinner. But it's just an ordinary
sunset, nothing more"
"Where are you goingy' asked Peter
by. "Why can't you sit still? Just
like a woman. No artistic apprecia-
tion."
"Ill be back presently" replied Mrs.
Peterby.
-Four or five minutes passed. She
came back and sat down. There was
a silence.

Peterby. Don't think l ever saw a
finer sunset. See that exquisite color

discover the yellow metal the rest was
easy. as every place along the outcrop-
pings that l sampled showed gold.
"One day while prospecting along
the country came across the skeleton
OF a human being and nearby a shovel
handle. l thought then that | had
surely discovered the lost mine and
that the charred bones before me were
those Of the lost sheepherder. whose
reports were so vague, but who
brought out some of the finest appear
ing rock that the natives had ever
seen.
1.-The property was discovered by me
on Nov. II. 1908, and the first any one
besides myself knew about it was in
October last. when l went to Bruneau
and told the people what was up there.

satisfied that it was the greatest bo-
nanza ever unearthed in the west. 10

try when the reports were circulated.

outcroppings. We sampled in places
where we believed positively that there
was no mineral. and the lowest as,

we just said. for example. that the ore
would run only 500 to the ton on the
average. At that f%igure-and it is
many times higher. we know-there is
now in actual sight and with little
mining $1.75O.OOO. In fact. I" speak
conservatively. there are millions Of
