Ing his name; crying out on him to
stand by them, to lead them. to for
give their ingratitude and folly.
And in the centre of the exultant
babel stood Caleb Conover, unmoved
save for a sneering smile that twisted
one corner of his hard mouth, the only
man present who was not carried
away by that crazy wave of reactive
enthusiasm.
"StaatZ," observed the Railroader,
as the hubbub at length died down,
"I'm afraid you'll have to wait wee
peckle longer for that leadership. But
cheer up. Everything comes to the
man who waits-till no one else wants
it. I've got one thing more to say,
and then my talking will be done for
good, as far as you men are con-
cerned. I resign, Pm out of politics
for good. AS far as Pm concerned
the Machine Is smashed for all time.
Now clear out of here, the whole ken
nelful of you. Be on your way!"
Still the furious volley of protest
that had arisen on all sides of his an
nouncement, Caleb flung open the
outer door of his study Several of
the dazed politicians essayed to speak,
but the quick CLEAN in their self-de-
posed Leaders eye halted the words
ere they were spoken. Obedient,
cowed to the last, the Machines Off
GERS and henchmen finally yielded to
that look and to the peremptory ges-
ture of the Railroader's arm. One by
one they filed out, Staatz in the van,
Bourke with averted gaze sinking
along in the rear.
With a grunt of ultimate dismissal
Conver closed the door.

You Tor one," sounded a sneering
voice from the dressing-room doorway
behind them, you for one, friend
Bourke, were starving on the street
when I took you in and fed you and
got your kids out of the Protectory
and gave you job"
At the first word the mumbled as.
sent to Staatz's and Bourke's opinion,
that had welled up in dozen throats,
died into scared silence.
"You for another, 'Dolphe Staatz."
went on Caleb, still standing on the
threshold and viewing the group Of
malcontents with cold disgust.
"You were on the road to the pen
for knowing too much about that
queer paper joint on Willow Street,
when l got the indictment quashed
and squared things with the district
attorney and put you on your feet.
"Caine," turning to the Stars edi-
tor, 81 think l heard you agreeing
among the rest. didn't I. hey? Diff'rn't
sound from the kind you made when
you come to me twelve years ago and
cried and said the Star was all In,
and would I save you from going bank
rupt by taking it over? And there's
plenty more of you here with the
same sort of story to tell"
He strobe forward and was among
them, forcing one after another to
meet his eye, dominating by his very
presence the men who had sought to
dethrone him. In his hour Of stress
all the old power, the splendid ruler
ship Of men, surged back upon the
Railroader. He stood king amid
awestruck serfs, stern schoolmaster
among a naughty band Of scared chill
dren.
"Some one spoke about being tired
: of wearing my collar" he said. "ls
there a man here who put on that
collar against his will, or man who
didn't beg for it? Is there a man
who hasn't profited by it? A man who
hasn't risen as l have risen and ben
efitted when l benefited? Don't stand
there, mumchance. like lot Of dago
section-hands! You were ready
enough to speak before l came in.
Why aren't you, now? Is 1t because
you're so sorry for this poor, broken
old man, who talks too much and
amt fit to run the Machine any longer,
eh? Spit it out, Staatz! If you're
qualifying for my shoes you got to
learn to look less like a whipped pup

CAMP BIRD PEOPLE
BUY GERTRUDIS MINE

MONTEREY, Mexico, Jan. at is
reported that the deal for the Santa
Gertrudis mine by the Camp Bird peo-
pie is closed and that they will take
possession of the Santa Gertrudis
properties at once. Whether the re-
port is true cannot be said, but it is
generally believed that the affair has
been so arranged that the large Lon
don interests will control the property
and continue the development of the
rich mines. The Camp Bird of Lon
don, the owners of the famous mine
in Colorado by the same name, ac-
quired an option on the Santa Ger
trudis mines some time ago, and a
purchase price was arranged for nine
million pesos. The option expires on
January 26, 1910, and it is generally
credited that the Camp Bird interests
will take over the property before the
option expires, when they will have to
)ay the optional price or forfeit the
$200,O 900 cash that is on deposit in event
the deal is passed up.
This deal has caused a great deal
of comment in the Pachuca district,
and is, in fact. one of the largest min
ing deals that has ever been on In this
country, and among mining circles it
is generally believed that the Camp
Bird interests will be operating the
famous mines before long.

LOCAL MEN REOPEN
GOLDEN CROSS MINE

YUMA, Dec. 31.-At Hodges, Cal,
twenty-five miles from Yuma, the
Golden Cross mine which has laid dor
mant for several years is to be re
opened. The property was tied up in
litigation for some time, but settlement
has been reached.
7. j. Fuller, w. " Hedges and other
eastern and Los Angeles men comprise
the company.
Twenty-Five men have been employed
and the work of oVerhauling the ma
chinery of the mill and mine and re-
pairing offices and quarters will start
at once. The old copper plates of the
mill are to be replaced with silver
plates of the improved process. The
two mills, one of forty and the other
of 100 stamps, that at present stand
one-half mile apart, are to be united,
the smaller being brought to the side
of the larger, with a view to cheaper
operation, and a Chilean mill for
grinding the ore is to be added. A
cyanide plant of the latest process is
to be installed and the present six
inch pipe line fifteen miles long from
the pump on the bank of the Colorado
river to the mine is to be displaced
with eight-inch pipe. 1t is expected
that this work will require about ninety
days. Operation of the mill and mine
will begin as soon as the plant is in
fit condition, with a force of between
300 and 400 men.
The lodges of the Golden Cross con-
tain immense bodies of ore, and al
though the rock is of rather low
grade the magnitude of the deposit is
so great that both mining and reduc-
tion can be operated at a cheap rate
and with profit.
The operation of this mine is of a
great advantage to Yuma and Yuma
valley and furnishes a market for
quantity of farm products

PICK AND DRILL SPENDS
$4,000 IN SHAFT WORK

PRESCOTT, Dec Slower 100000
has been spent on the Pick and Drill
this year, and a great deal larger sum
will be put in during the coming year."
says S. j. Gnash, president of the COM
pany, who is here from Los Angeles to
attend the annual stockholders meet
ing January at the company's camp
six miles east Of Humboldt.
/, A force of sixteen men has been at
work the greater part of the year,
but at present this has been reduced
to six on account of storms interfering
with the transportation of supplies and
material. Work has been confined to
the sinking of a four-compartment
shaft, which is now down 435 feet. 1t
carries four pipe lines, the smallest
being two and three quarters inches.
Good lunches of ore have been en-
countered at intervals, but it is not
expected that the main body will be
tapped until greater depth has been
attained.
1t is proposed to continue sinking
and carry out an extensive plan of
development. The company, declares
Mr.. Gnash, is better financed than ever
before, and he considers the outlook
bright for the success of the Pick and
Drill mine.

nVER since the Santa Fe brought
II in the gusher on Section Six,
- North Midway field, there has
been a rush for lands and drilling To-
cations and work is being rushed by
all of the companies. 1t is reliably re-
ported that sixty new wells will be
drilled in this field as soon as lumber
and material can be delivered.
Notwithstanding the shortage of
lumber, teams and men the United Oil
company has succeeded in getting ma
terial on the ground for three new
wells and now has a crew of seventeen
men at work.

NORTH STAR DECLARES
TWELVE-CENT DIVIDEND

GRASS VALLEY, Dec. 31.-The
North Star mines closed the year with
a remarkable record and one which
will likely stand for a time unless the
same company breaks it.
The stockholders have been notified
that the final dividend for 1909 had
been declared, amounting to IL per
cent. The total gold extracted for the
year is the magnificent sum of $780,
600, or % per cent.
The showing is the most significant
development in the history of the
county, owing to the fact that the
North Star is mining at a depth Of
more than a mile from the surface
plants.

turned to the city few days ago from

STRIKE IN SKULL VALLEY
MAY OPEN NEW TERRITORY

PRESCOTT, Jan. 2.-Discovering an
eight-inch streak of ore assaying $140
in gold, ten ounces in silver and per
cent nickel to the ton in a district
believed to be non-mineral bearing, is
the experience of McQuaid of this city.
The find was made in the mountains
five miles northwest of the Gardner
ranch in Skull valley, in a section
which appears to have never been dis
turbed before by the pick of the pros
pector.
The vein, according to the statement
of Mr.. McQuaid, can be traced a dis
tance of 2000 feet across the mountain.
He describes it as true fissure associ-
ated with a granite and malapais con-
tact.

strike recently reported, says the as
says were correct, as high as $500, and
that it was easy to secure such values;
He SAYS there was a rich streak and
some excellent seams and that large
ore body Of several feet would pay
handsomely to mill.
The strike as an average was fully as
good as the $50 tons of ore that gave
the $100 head assays.

grown TO large proportions during the
last two years, and is now separated
into several departments, at the head
of which are promising young men
well versed in that branch of the oil
industry. 1t will be the intention of
the MANAGEMENT to bring their in
dividuality to the front and thus relieve
Mr.. Lucey of some of the responsibility.
