Then Il may have been the dreary droop oi his shoulders that she had noticed as she went by him, that brought her hack. At any rate, she turned about and came back to lay little nosegay on his table.
 Barton's hand sought his pocket

 Tt sure aint," agreed Barton.
 'T don't like to stick around here" |" the woman went on, as though she might simply be thinking aloud. But they sin't much to cheer a body in a cold little hall bedroom. Ought to be candles and firesides and children on Christmas Eve. oughtn't they" She looked down into Barton's pale eyes.
 They sure ought" he said heartily
 "Ain't you got nything-anything like that?"
Arizona republican., 1910-12-19

NO, no, I have no family nor friends" He admitted simply to this kindly woman what had never passed his lips before.
 Me, neither" she replied. Got no relations, and I ain't much of a hand to make friends. Kinda lonesome, times like this. ain't it?" She was GOV ering over her basket carefully before going out into the frosty afr.
 It was then that all the loneliness of Hiram Barton's life seethed to the sur face. as once before his youthful am- bitions had done when he left the farm. All his longings for understand ing, and home and a mate had been lashed into an acute pain by the joys of the season around him. Perhaps it was the cheap wine that had made him a little giddy-perhaps 1t was the haze of cigar smoke that softened the plain features of Rose-Anna,-but 1t seemed to him that in her face was the fulfill ment of these things.
 T wish" said Hiram Barton firmly, q wish that you would marry me to- night 'Twouldn't be so lonely-and we could have a Christmas"

1 was revlvifed to meet the spirit of joy about them. Barton insisted upon buying a little Christmas tree and all the glittering appurtenances thereto. He hung holly wreaths on his arms. and stuffed his pockets with candies and nuts and little articles that Rose Anna's eye had seemed to rest upon admiringly.
 I'd like to be buying you a surprise for tomorrow. Hiram" said Anna timidly, "if you'll just go and leave me for minute"
 And I've just been wondering how l was going to get surprise for you!" cried Barton excitedly. So they sepa- rated with great formality. to meet again soon in the great crowd of shop pers with unconcealed delight that their dream was not yet dIssipated.
 It was very late when they finished the decoration of Barton's room. They set up the Christmas tree on the table. with its ink-spotted spread, between the windows. They hung one wreath across the corner of the tarnished frame of the Death of LiEcoln" Anna put her bridal bouquet in the wash bowl in the hope that the wilted flow CTS might revive, and rearranged the furniture to her liking. The two sur prise gifts they placed unIer the boughs of the little tree to await the light of Christmas Day.
 Barton glanced about the trans- formed room that was eloquent of Christmas cheeriness. His wife's hat hung on hook beside his.-her worn coat was thrown over the chair where he was won't to sit alone at night.
 It's home. Anna" hs said brokenly.
 Home. Hiram" she repeated thank fully. A clock some where in the house struck midnight And a Merry Christmas to youi"

Barton had scarcely ever looked at her although sometimes when she sought out his table he bought little bouquet from her, and taking 1t home put 1t In his tooth brush mug where it frightened up his room a bit until the landlady dumped it out. Tonight there was something about the woman that held his gaze. Beneath her small, neat hat her brown hair rippled back to a tight knot at the back of her head. And her face was the face of a woman who would sit up far into the night to dress doll or fill a stocking
 Merry Christmas, Rose-Anna! Merry Christmas. Rose-Anna." Rose Anna as the habitues of Henry's called her, responded quietly to the greet ings. One maudlln celebrant asked her to join him in a toast 10 Christmas Day. She smiled wearily and passed on.
 Barton wondered if she would seek

 "P'rhaps I might" she said simply
 The head waiter was ushering { man to the only seat left unoccupleC in the cafe-the one opposite Barton there behind the palms. Barton arose and put his coat on hurriedly.
 Come" he said softly to Rose-Anna And together they went out into the festive street. Together they sought the office of the marriage license clerk They picked their way through the throngs, speaking little to each other although occasionally Barton seized the woman's arm as though he were afraid she was a wrath Luck was with them. The clerk was at his desk working late at some statistics he was preparing for the coming year. He hudnC OuI d nNCuSc TUT HIT dlu DdIlO aged 42, not married before, and Anna Hagan. aged 49, also unmarried.
 As, later, they stood on the steps of the home of the justice of the peace before entering, Barton took from Rose-Anna's basket that he still car ried, the little nosegays that remained and tied them into one bouquet. From his pocket he took bill and thrusting it awkwardly into the center of 1t handed the bouquet to Anna.
 ~For-for the bride" he stammered. "And-snd you won't need the basket any more.-Anna." he added as he put 1t down in the corner of the porch. Rose-Anna had never dreamed that such chivalry existed.
 After they were married they set out to buy 6 bit of Christmas cheer that should brighten up Barton's plain room. Gradually the cons.raint which had seized them both gave way to a delightful sense of companionship. Gradually the spirit of youth in them

NEW OWNERS PREPARE
TO WORK THE MID DAY

MAYER, Ariz., Sept. 15.-Arrange-
ments have been perfected for the
financing of the Mid Day mines on
the Peck lode, situated about a mile
from the famous old bonanZas of early
DAYS, advices to this effect being re-
ceived in a telegram to H. c. Heffel-
man. one of the owners 1t Is ex-
pected that the eastern investors will
reach Mayer within the next few
days, coming from Sidney and Lii
ma, Ohio.
Considerable interest prevailed a few
months ago, when the discovery OF
this property was announced and the
character of the yield made known,
carrying that indisputable evidence
that II was of the identical miner
illogical condition that made the Peck
famous. With development to linn
tied depth this was established, since
when the efforts of the owners have
been centered to secure sufficient cap
ital to open it extensively
At points on the property total Of
about 500 feet of work has been done,
with the deepest shaft only sixty feet.
In that depth some rich horn silver
and chloride of silver ores have been
taken out. Some of the assays run
high in the white metal, and to get
the property under a systematic de-
velopment Is the earnest effort of the
owners, H. c. Heffelman and Peter
Giroux.
Since the Mid Day was located every
foot of ground open along that belt
has been claimed, aggregating several
miles of continuous locations. and
running almost to Mayer.

ZANIA AND PLACERLTA
CONSIDERED GOOD BUY

PRESCOTT, Sept. 15.-Mr. Dyer,
who purchased the Mcmahon group
and the old Zonia mines few days
ago near Placerita, acquires one of
the largest blocks of copper mines in
the county, both combinations having
twenty-three claims. On the Zonia
favorable conditions are in evidence
for the immediate beginning of de-
velopment, three hoists being in po
sition and over 1000 feet of work in
former operations.
Linked to the property the Nc
Mahon ground is also well prospect
ed, the owners following a practical
method of mine work for several
years, and having on the dump sew
erai hundred tons of good smelling
ore.
The gold values in the product are
said to be high, which makes the
proposition one of the most attrac-
tive in the southern part of the coun-
ty. The sum paid for this big group
was not given publicity, but that it
will run into the thousands is known.
Mr.. Dyer it is said, will establish
a permanent camp on the old Zonia
works Immediately and begin exploit
alton on the two systems. lie is
practical copper miner and has in
terests near Globe. He intends later
to make his headquarters at the
Zonia.
b The closing Of this deal after sew
eral months of negotiations has great
Iy stimulated mining in that section,
and many locators of claims are rush
ing to that vicinity to take up all
ground that is open.
The properties taken over are about
three miles to the north of the main
Placerita settlement.

ADMIRAL EVANS ENTERS
OIL BUSINESS ON COAST
Heads Big Company Of Local and
Eastern Men-StartS
with Production

Rumors current for the past several
days that Admiral Rodley D. Evans
would enter oil as a business were
confirmed yesterday upon the return
to the city of H. B. Guthrie, who ac-
companied Admiral Evans on part of
his tour through the fields of the san
Joaquin valley. The California Oil
company, with a stock capital of $10,-
100000, has been organized at San
Francisco, with Admiral Evans as
president.
AS there has been some complaint
on the part of oil men In this state
that political mixers at Washington,
with coal interests in Pennsylvania,
were trying to prevent the use of oil
on the battleships, and especially CAL
ifornia oil, 1t is a source of gratifica-
tion on the part of oil men here that
they have added to their lists such
a valuable ally as Admiral Evans, a
man who not only is an authority in
matters relative to the navy, but has
large following and friendship among
the lights at Washington.
The position that Admiral Evans
holds in the new company will be in
every respect an active one, and 1t is
understood he will enter the game
with his heart and soul. He will de-
the new company.
Two Los Angeles men are directors
OF the new corporation-M. P. Snyder,
president of the California Savings
bank, and ]. w. Mitchell. The other
directors are eastern capitalists and
San Francisco men.
In forming the company, three pro-
ducing oil properties were taken over.
They are the Mascot property, on %
Hill, Midway, which is producing 90,-
900 barrels q month from thirty-two
wells; the Premier, a 160-acre property
on Derrick row, Coalinga, with fif-
teen wells producing $4,000 barrels
monthly, and the Yellowstone, in the
Kern river field, producing 10000 bar
rels a month.
The Yellowstone company has it's
headquarters in Los Angeles. The
company has not been entirely sold
out, but controlling interest in it
passes to the new corporation. Pay
ments amounting to more than 100000
in cash were made in San Francisco
Wednesday when the organization was
perfected.
Since he came to the coast recently
accompanied by several New York cap
italists, Admiral Evans has visited the
Kern river and Coalinga oil fields and
made careful personal investigation
of the properties.

TONOPAH EXTENSION
REDUCES ITS DEPTH
Shipments at Profit Puts
Mine Among Camps
Best Producers

The Tonopah Extension has just
completed the biggest month in its
history, both from a production and
profit point of view, the result or
which places the company third in
the list of the big mines of Tonopah
as far as monthly net profits are con-
cerned. During the month of Au-
gust a total of forty-seven tons of
concentrates We're shipped consisting
of seventeen tons of sand concentrates,
valued at $400 a ton, and thirty tons OF
slime concentrates, valued at $500
ton, together with 1852 pounds of bull
lion, valued at $4,000. During the
month 3845 tons of ore were treated,
from which an average extraction OF
about 80 per cent was obtained, the
value of the ore averaging $3.50
ton.
While the complete returns for the
bullion and concentrates have not yet
been received, from what is already
known August will be the banner
month in the history of the company
as the indicated net profits will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000. This Is a
most satisfactory showing and should
be pleasant news to the stockholders.
The cleanup of cyanide concentrates
for the last half of August resulted in
the production of 1880 pounds of bull
lion, valued at $25, 900. The conditions
underground show the mine to be con-
stantly improving, with the average
value of the ore increasing, winch IS
indicated by the higher average value
of the ore treated during the month
of August.
on the 27O, 400, 500, 600 and interme-
date levels strong bodies of ore nave
been exposed by the several drifts, ana
as stopping progresses the ore podles
show greater strength than exposed
in the drifts. While at present the
main production of the mine Is COM
ing from the eastern portion, good
ore bodies have been exposed in the
westerly workings, but development
work upon them has been retarded on
account of tn unusual amount of gas
encountered.
The trouble has been partially over
come by the connection recently made
bv the west footwall drift on the 400
foot level, but work cannot proceed
to advantage until a connection has
been made on the 500-foot level, Whlch
is being rushed ahead as fast as pos
sible. Although the mill is crushing
and treating about $50 tons a Week.
there is actually in sight enough ore
to keep the mill running at this rate
for years, to say nothing of the ore
bodies encountered which nave not yet
been developed.
The Extension is one of the big mines
of the district, and is making a steady
monthly net profit that will soon place
it among the dividend payers. The IN
debtedness caused by the building OF
the mill is fast being wiped out and
at the rate of the August profits 1t
will not take many months to pay off
the remaining Indebtedness.
