That's nothing" said Gus. you ought t6 find a barrel full Of them if you look carefully" Continuing Gus ex- plained that while a gambling house often makes easy money it is at the same time the most frequent victim or the criminal who, to make money. goes to d place where he knows there Is some good money on hand. He said that many counterfeit dollars were talk cn in at the Palace by accident and the usual custom of the employees was tO drop them through a crack between the wainscoting and the adobe wall. That put them out of circulation. The gamblers would not dare circulate them even if they wanted tO and they could better afford tO throw them away than to put them in circulation well knowing that if they did SD il would only be a matter of a short time when they would be returned and again eX- changed for good money.

 There were some things fp' which the Palace were quite notable. One of them was that it was advertised the country over as the "OnlN second class saloon in Arizona" That was about the extent of the paid advertising that the Palace got. but it was sufficient EV- cry traveller had q keen desire to see the territOry's only second class sal oon, and on entering it he was pleased and disappointed to find it. as saloons go. about the most brilliantly lighted well appointed and carefully conducted place of the sort in the west
 II was second class in that no intrO- ductions were necessary as in private club rooms. and there was no bar to race or color. All visitor had to do was to mind his own business. Un- less he had money to burn he generally did not stay long but if he was we'll supplied with cash and sought to give fortune whirl at faro. roulette. craps, keno. poker or other game of chance. all he had to do was to edge into the crowd that always thronged the tab les. A lucky dealer could take the money agay from Chinese OF a Mex jean just as easy as from a New York blood who thought he was clever. and he did il with equal sang froid
 The Palace was everybody's club house so long as he preserved, the peace. When the place was opened-a lock was put on the door and it is a fair presumption that there was a key for it, but 1t is not Of record that any body ever saw 1t afterward Year in and year out for almost q generation

 The Passing of the Palace" brings back to almost everybody whc lived in Ploenix previous to ten years ago. al wealth of varied recOllections. For some, there are pleasant memories; to many scenes are vividly recalled they would like to forget. but to all there are mind pictures of an earlier time when Phoenix was wide open and in the full flush and romance of palmy frontier days.
 The Palace was one of the notable saloons and gambling houses of the southwest It has often been referred to in the yellow Sunday magazine stor- ies as the most notable gambling resort in Arizona How one may measure points in a contest for fame between gambling resorts, is hard to explain. if indeed ii can be done. but without settling the question of rank it may be said truly that there is no gambler of twenty years ago, and few who traveled through this country in those days, to whom the name of the Palace saloon is not as familiar as that of the Waldorf Astoria hotel is to New York CTS.
 For the professional gamblers the Palace was a strong financial hope; for the man of the world who was tine tured with sporting blood the Palace was the place he gave rein t0 his inn pulses to flirt with fortune, and the sirens who made the nights merry with their music as entertainment for the patrons of the resort. For the bus mess men of the city it was regarded as the center Of activity in the circula- ton of money Come easy and go easy is the rule of the gambler and when money was plenty his support of anything in the way of a celebration was earnestly sought and liberally giv- en. And whatever the evils of the life. a deal of charity flowed from the bene- ficent use of tainted money. For the religiously inclined the Paalce was re

It is true the most welcome visitors were the live ones. but when d rank of unfortunates had fired and fallen back, it was their sweet prerogative 10 hold down a chair behind the stove if the weather was cold. But cold or warm the Palace went on-not forever but for great manv years. the morning shift of bar keepers. dealers and loOkouts giving way to an afternoon and evening shift of men. who late at night were sup planted in turn by the "graveyard' shift. which cared for the usually smaller play until day brought back the morning force.
 It would be interesting to know how much money changed hands in the Palace during its career bu, that is one question that would embarrass the most aStute. no matter how clever his guessing or low brilliant his mathe- matics It is only certain that it would run into millions of dollars. which does not mean that it was all wasted money. for what one man lost another gained Unquestionably an army of men has passed through the doors of the old Palace cleaned and discOn- solate. but if the truth were known and the old timers would talk many of them also passed out with d grub stake.
