MANHATTAN. June 21.-A high
grade placer strike, which ranks
among the very best ever made in
Manhattan gulch, is the reward of
the leasers operating "Malapai
John Mihelitch's ground above
Central This has been known as
the Butler and Brennan lease. but
J. NJ. Grennan has sold his interest
to c. F Fittenberg. The lease now
is owned by NJ d. Butler, Witten-
berg f NJ. Wall and Byron viii
son.
In connection with the sale and
strike there is typical mining
story Grennan had given his word
that he would turn over his inter-
Fest for an agreed price and that
he could remain in charge for a
certain number of days. While he
was personally in charge of the
work the rich strike was made, yet
the deal went through as per
agreement Mr.. Grennan states that
he has no regrets and that in this,
as in all cases, his word is as good
as his bond
His reason for selling. he says,
was not lack of confidence in the
lease but that he was not financi-
ally strong enough at the time to
hold up his end II involved the
purchase of great deal of lum-
Der, costly new pump and much
other material The pump arrived

has been returned and the old one
moved to the upper end of the
lease. which is where the strike has
since been made, and it is doing
the work handsomely.
This is the very wettest part of
the whole gulch and long has been
passed up by Ieasers and purchasers

the lower end of their lease and

Wanted TO Save His Soul.

The extension division OF the Uni
versity Of Kansas has one less pack
age library on Socialism since wom-
an at Harper took the liberty recently
of showing her opinion regarding such
literature.
A young man rooming in her house
had obtained from the university a
number OF books dealing with Social
ism. He had left them on his libra y
table. The woman, in cleaning up his
room, found the volumes which to her
mind represented all the evils of an
archy and infidelity and unmention-
able crimes. She decided to save the
young man from danger and lost no
time In putting The vile books into
the fire.
The young man wrote an anxious
letter to the extension department ex-
planning the matter. and the depart
ment has decided to excuse him.

There was no question but that Miss
GLADYS Farnham got a good husband
when she married Stephen Agnew. He
was with a life insurance company
and stood high for character. For the
nrst three months after marriage
there were entertainments at home
and the theater and other things
abroad. but then q change came. Mr..
Agnew became preoccupied. He went
about whispering to himself, and he
neither wanted company at home nor
to seek advertisement outside. Every
night upon his arrival home It was the
library for him. and all the explana.
ton he had was that he was very busy
with ONCE matters.
II the young wife had been a coax.
ing, persistent woman she could have
learned all about It after bit, but she
didn't coax, and after what she felt
was the one rebuff, she had no more
questions to ask. She took It out in
thinking, and at the end Of six months
she had come to the conclusion that
her husband was disappointed man
In marriage. He was still kindly and
even-tempered, but unless something
preyed on his mind, why should he go
about with that absent look on his
face, and why should he shut himself
up at home?
There was a reason, and the wonder
was that It did not leak out sooner.
The life insurance company had pro-
NOTED Mr.. Agnew on his marriage to a
higher position and more salary, but
as an Offset he must delve into statis-
tics until he could reel right of the

would die before the year expired, and

tween a man taking three or six nips
per day, and many other things.
He wasn't the man to give up after
he had started in, simply because sta.
tistics danced before him day and
night, but he kept on accommodating
and his wife kept on thinking she was
shamefully neglected, until a climax
came. A friend limited at divorce, and
that brought the climax.
The plan adopted belonged to Mrs
Agnew alone. There was no statistics

Dlus Mile of Ditch a Day.

The largest excavating machine
ever built Is capable Of digging a mile
of ditch six feet deep and IL feet wide
every day. 1t is employed In the con-
struction of canals and laterals COM
prising an irrigation system to water
the 10000 acres which compose the
Cudahy ranch, situated in the Imperi-
al valley of Mexico. The conditions are
Identical with those Of the valley Of
the Nile, for this ranch Is Of silt lands
built up by the ages Of overflow Of
the Rio Grande. The machine weighs
100000 pounds and covers an area Of
25x6O feet. It is entirely Of steel con-
struction and Ia propelled by two thir-
ty horse power oil engines. The fore
part of the machine carries the en-
gines which drive shaft wheel,
which In turn. by series Of cogs and
chains, propels the machine over the
ground and at the same time operates
the immense circular digger carried at
the rear. This digger Is equipped with
scoops bearing sharpened blades Of
steel. 1t first picks up the dirt and,
revolving upward, drops It's burden
on to conveyors which carry 1t to
both sides, depositing 1t upon the
banks of the excavation. The machine
is so nicely adjusted that 1t can dig
a ditch from two inches up to eight
feet In depth and from four to IL
feet wide, shaping and finishing the ex-
cavation as 1t proceeds. With this ma
chine seven men do the work Of so
