hour later when looks in on EN- discovers Swiftly
red in the face and out of breath. He's been dom
all the exercsn while Ferdy has stood around with
his hands in his pockets.

There! Bounce that hundred and ten times

Before the afternoon through he did it, too
and was as t1ckled over the performance as it he'd
broke worlds record Took me week to get
line on just what the matter with Ferdy. And
it was simple complant,-just case of an only son
that had been coddled too much; you know tied to
governess kid, tutored in this tutored in that
dressed by valet, waited on by inches, and every
thing from his sleepin' to his thinkin planned out
for him by either Mommer Papa. He'd never done
things for himself didn't know how and didn't have
any ambition to learn.
Maybe that accounts, too, for the queer kinks he'd
got into his mind. The old gent mentioned some
thing about how shy he was and how he dreaded
meetin' strangers; but as could figure out
half of that was just plain laziness Anyway, it
would be in you and me. In Ferdy they called it
reserve and diffidence. Huh!
The better got to know him, though the more
good points kept croppin out. Bein' quiet and
the real article. He felt that way. He thought his
old gent was good deal of a wonder, climbin' up
the way he had from peanut lawyer in onehorse
Illinois town to being head counsel for combination
of stock juggers that needed all kinds of help every
time grand jury met. But Ferdy never put on
any Jugs on his own account.
I'm no use, says he. I'm not ornamen-
tall
Which honest and accurate. Yet for all he
was such skinny and chested he had
the kind of big gray-blue eyes that sort of in
trestin' to watch, and his face outlines barrin'
weak chin, want SO bad. And what with his mod
est ways, got to kn' Ferdy.

of sudden he seems to go to pieces. He drops back

much.

Ferdy used to meet at swell dancin' class that
Ferdinand was taken to week by main strength.
Not that there any youthful romance about it /;
for Ferdy scared blue of girls general and this
little Russian in particular. Also he enjoyed dancn
like loves walkin' the tight rope. But when
Mrs. Whitcomb Smith hears how the Stepoffkis are
here again, and learns that the Countess is still

swell her battin average to have Countess in the
family. So she sails down to call on the Countess
and invites her to come up and have tea some after
Course, She d talked the scheme up to Ferdy,

But, strange as it may seem, that want what
he'd dropped in to talk 1t appears that he had
Ferdinand on his mind more'n he did politics just
then. Ferdy, he explains, is his son. and it was
there anything the matter with him that you
could name by readin off list of symptoms, such
as they print on the e Bunko Btters bottles.

Mr.. Smith, pattin himself on his street encumbrance

GOING IN DEEP FOR FERDY

gets some new details on the
situation.
I'm afraid Ferdy is right"
says Mr.. Whitcomb Smith.
And it's all his mothers
fault. She's matchmaking
again"
obj says 1. Shakin'
the hymeneal halter at him,
is she?"
That was what. 1t seems
to be her favorite pastime,
pickin out first one girl and
then another; not because
Ferdy has given signs of
fancyin' any of 'em, but
figurin' mainly on how it
would boost the socialstandin'
of the Whitcomb Smiths.
:" Just now it is the Count
ess Stepoffki,' says Mr.. Smith.
What!" says 1. mot the
tiger tamer?"
You must have heard about
her since she's been over.
From all accounts, too, she's
star, if half the stories they
tell about the noble Grand
Dukes that have fought fake
duels over her are true. Any
way, l knew she had a pet
tiger; for I'd seen pictures of
it in the Sunday papers.
Whew!" says l. How'd
Mrs. Smith ever come to tag
such hot one for a daughter
in law"
Well, it seems that when
the Whitcomb Smiths was
spendin' their first season in
Washington, about ten years
ago, while Whitcomb was
busy pokin' sticks into the
wheels of legislation in the
interests of some big clients
of his, old man Stepoffki was

BIG MINE
IN IRON BLOSSOM
TintiC People Regard Gold
Strike One of Not Slight
Importance.

Considerable Importance is attached by
Tintte people to the gold strike in Iron
Blossom. according to Ralph Badger. of
the Eureka office Of the Badger Bros.
brokerage house, who was in this city
yesterday. The strike is in new ground,
southeast OF the No. / shaft, on the 500
foot level. The gold values came in
quartz, some OF the assays running bet
ter than $500 a ton. and conditions ap-
pear altogether favorable for Opening a
large stope Of ore which win average
excellent shipping grade
People Of the district, Mr.. Badger says
are firm In the conviction that Iron
blossom is one Of the big mines OF the
camp. Conditions in the north workings
are said to be improving steadily, and
the extent OF mineralized territory which
the company owns affords great chance
for extension of resources. The various
workings Of the cOmpany-the No. and
No. shafts being nearly a mile apart
viii soon be connected underground he
says.
When Mr.. Badger left camp miners
were showing pieces of limestone which
were said to have come from the bot
tom OF the Tintic Central shaft. With
that shaft in limestone the company is,
Of course, regarded in line for the open
ing or ore without question. Sinking was
resumed yesterday after several days oc-
cupied In cutting a water drain In the
bottom Of the shaft
The Tintic district is showing great
Improvement, Mr.. Badger says, Ia the
way of building activity and movement
of real estate, as well as in production
OF ore.

NEVADA HILLS IN
IMPROVED FORM
Work in Lowest Level at I'm
portant Stage - Ships
Rich Ore.

When John A. Kirby examined the
Nevada Hills mine few days ago he
found conditions in the lower levels
such that he was convinced that rela-
lively little Improvement would be re-
qutred to assure the beginning of great
things for that mine. He received
word yesterday from Manager w. H.
Weber that since he had left great
Improvement had taken place in the
450-foot leyel-that it could no longer
be doubted that the regular formation
was being entered east of the break.
Mr.. Kirby admits that assurance of
that means the opening of a gerat
mine
And, in the meantime, Nevada Hills
Is producing from its upper levels
quantities Of wealth. which mark Il
as by no means in a low class OF pro-
ducers. Shelter returns received yes
terday from the carload of ore which
AIR. Kirby said might bring IN the
nelghborhOod of $4,000 showed a net
value OF S3.400 for the carload. That
ore came from between the 900 and
400 levels, and there IS more OF it to
be taken out
Two sets of leesers working on the
west end of the company's property
In territory which has never before
been prospected--are making better
than wages, despite the long haul to

cellent grade OF shipping ore from

Mines and Mining Stocks
TINT|C CENTRAL IS
STRONG FEATURE
Closes Week With Upward
Turn-ReServe Power in
Some Others.

T1ntic Central became the feature OF
trading on the mining stock market Sat
urday, due to a persistent report that
limestone had been encountered in the
bottom of the compsny's shaft Large
blocks Of the stock changed hands at s%
cents to lO1z cents a share and it closed
strong. Iron Blossom was unable to
maintain its advance TO S105. scored dur
ing the week. but 1t was IN fairly good
demand yesterday at IS cents, with re-
ports from the mine indicating that it
may at any time make a new start up
ward. Sioux Consolidated likewise closed
the week with few cents lower than its
high mark of the week-4715-and gave
evidence Of harbOring reserved power.
Colorado held steady around IS cents,
Columbus was weak at 80 cents, Grand
Central was in relatively light demand at
the somewhat lower price of sl.H15. Low
er Mammoth was normal at 80 cents and
there was some new demand for Nevada

trading. the business of the exchange NE
last two days represented actual orders

light on account of the failure of two

enthusiasm, but IL is apparent that the
stricter enforcement of the rules as a
result of those failures will inspire re-
lie and make a stronger, better market.
While "Over-shorting' of the local mar
ket and plungeS upon eastern markets
may have been cOntributory causes of one
or more Of the recent failures, II is said
by some of the brokers that abuse of the
buyer privilege extended to customers
is one Of the chief sources Of loss TO them.
1t is not uncommon, they say, for 4. Gus
toner TO order stock bought in the vain
hope that the price will jump in a day
or two and he will be enabled to close
out at a profit without investing a dollar.
Then if the stock slumps the order Is re-
pudiated and the broker is permitted to
stand the loss This character of loss is,
of course, peculiar to falling market.
but by more strictly enforcing the rules
it IS hoped to greatly lessen that evil. with
others which have beset the exchange

MANY STAR MINES
ON SHIPPING LIST
Beaver District Is Moving Into
TintiC Class, Declares
Operator.

To appreciate the new era which has
dawned for the mines of the Star dis
trict, Beaver county, one should go
there for the purpose OF enga ging
teams to haul ore. Such is the opinion
OF S. S. Pend, manager of the Cedar
TaltEman company, who returned TO
the city yesterday, after having been
in the camp upon that mission.
"A steady stream of ore is going out
of the district" said Mr.. Pond 'HThe
Majestic company is shipping regu-
larly; the Moscow is making increased
production; the ore haulers have Just
finished 100-ton contract for the
Wild Bill; the Hoosier Boy is sending
a nice lot OF ore TO the smeIter; the
Red Warrior is eniarging it's OUTPUT,
ing occasional shipments, with the
prospect that several viii soon be
added to the regular list.
'The Cedar-Talisman has one car
load OF zinc ore on the market, and
1t will send out more as soon as the
to the railroad. We have been taking
the zinc ore from the 10e-foot level,
but we are now getting under the ore
on the 225-Ioot Level, and viii be IN
position to increase production. Our
body of lead-silver ore has opened in
good form on the 400 level. and we

''The Moscow mine is unquestionabIy

BINGHAM LEASEH0LD
HAS BIG COPPER VEIN

That the days of profitable leasing in
the Bingham district are not over is
shown by results which are being OBJ
tained by r. A. Og1esby in claim near
the Fortune group which he is operating
under bond azad lease. In one Of the
workings within the last few days. Mr..
Oglesby says, he has opened q nine-foOt
face of ore which carries values Of per
cent copper, 81 and IS a ton In gold and
about ounces Of silver. While that
would not be an attractive leasing prop
osition IN an isolated camp, It is a good
thing in Bingham. With so large a body
of ore of that grade within q stones
throw of the railroad and a few miles
from a smelter, 1t is workable at a nice
profit.
From an inclined shaft $50 feet deep
three drifts are in ore in paying guam
titles, Mr.. OgIesby says, while two adj
ditionaI drifts show some ore. He ex-
poets within short time TO be producing
at a good rate.
