looking at pictures, asking how
pictures are made and arranged in
a book. He seemed to be about Is
years old. his uniformed face hiding
his age He talked as child of 6.
He had been taught. to speak only
few necessary words to his
mother. IN two short months he
has learned to converse, but with
strange pronunciation.
Aided by gesticulations, James
told his weird story. His mother
had been of strange temperament,
perhaps mentally unbalanced by the
death of her husband when the
children were infants.
The mother was haunted by a
fear that her children would be-
come contaminated by the world
outside She rarely left the house,
except for provisions. Seldom any
body called to see her and she sell
dom called on any of her neighbors.
Mrs. Halsey was the only neighbor
Mrs. Crummey visited to any extent.
Their husbands were friends.
Mrs. Crummey seldom spoke
more than six words a day. and her
children grew up in ignorance, with
only such casual glimpses of life as
they could steal through peep-holes
in the front curtains. The house
was always dark and silent and a
mystery to the neighborhood.
Few of the neighbors knew OF
the existence of the children. The
e,rl, some of the neighbors say
was once on the streets with her
M Their. That was four years ago
and at night Since then they have
not known if the child had died oil
not.
AT the time of the fire in 1905
TIE plastering was shaken from the
ceiling, and the house swayed. Out.
side the children could hear peo
pie running in wild exciteemnt, ant
at night they could see the reflec
tion of the flames through the peep
holes. But their mother did no
permit them outside. They did mo-
know the city was rebuilded. Unit
two months ago they did not know
there was any city at all The,
only could guess why the back YARD
contained weeds and why there was
a strip of pavement In front of the
house, and how other boys and girl!
could play and ride on street carr
and motor cars out on the strang,
roadway In two months man!
things have been explained to them
and many strange things almos

they may take to modern civiliza

TRUTH ABOUT
THE JARBIDGE.
Mining DISTRICT

In order to get real, hot inside
facts, occasionally it is necessary to
go to "one of the disgruntled, !"
says the Herald-RepubIican, and the
following, signed by An Occasional
Contributor" in an eastern mining
journal relative to conditions at
Jarbriige, New. smacks of that
sort:
In the past year Jarbridge has
developed somewhat, but far from
the extent expected At the pres
ent time it may be said to have
passed into a state OF innocuous
desuetude, from which cataleptie
condition it may revive in two
months or it may take two years.
For the present there is no money
in the district, very little work GO
ing on, no chance to make any
money, and little prospect of col
lecting any bills. Many people are
leaving.
The trouble with Jarbridge has
not been with the mines so much as
with the owners, who have dis
played so much stupid ignorance
and greediness, or have attempted
too much work on no funds, and
checks seem to have been the reg
ular working capital of most of the
companies. which has left the dis
triet in a very bad state financially.
Besides the many small outfits
which have paid OFF their laborers
with checks drawn against a bank
with little or no money to their
account. the two big companies,
with their all but useless mills.
suddenly suspended short time
ago. each of them having an UNI
paid labor account of $1,000 to
$4,000, which is still unpaid
But perhaps the worst setback is
the greed of the property owners
who want to get a fortune for a
fair prospect and who thus prevent
any solid mining men from securing
a foothold. They think because
they find a few pieces of high-grade
ore IN prospect hole that they
have a bonanza mine. and immedi-
ately want a mine price for IL.
There have been some good people
in Jarbridge who were favorably
impressed with the prospects and
were willing to take hold on any
reasonable basis. but who refused
to invest when they were asked
such unreasonable prices as $685.
900 for one ten-foot hole. $25O.00O
for a three-fourths interest in three
ten-foot cuts. $15O,000 for an eight
tenths interest in two ten-foot holes,
and similar equally impossible
prices.
George Wingfield did take hold of
two of the good-showing properties,
even at these high prices, one of
them running up to over half a
million. But then 1t is to be pre-
sunied that he counted on his pre-
vious acquaintance with the own
ers to get mines later at a price
compatible with the development.
After spending $4,000 in develop
ment on the two properties and
opening only about s150,000 worth
of ore of fair milling grade, he
wished to have the price brought
down to a reasonable. one, and
meeting with refusal he decamped
And moneyed men win stay OUT and
wait until prices come down to
somewhere near the probable value
of the properties This will also
necessitate that the owners come to
realization of the fact that the
veins are only of moderate size and
that the ore is of $12 milling
grade, rather than a 5000 bonanza
quality, as they have thought.
