The Romance of Lost Mines

Mining has in the past been associ- ated with much that was romantic, and which has thrown an allurlng glamour about the industry. Consider the innumerable lost mines and the tales of adventure that might be told about them could the circumstances of their discovery and loss be known.
 The loss of rich old mines was often a result of the uncertain times that once prevailed. Usually tragedy has been the direct cause of the losing of mines. The miners working per. haps alone far from help were sur prised by Indians and murdered. killed by accident. or died from sickness, their secret remaining hidden unti re vealed by some fortunate prospector stumbling onto the lost mine by acci, dent.
 Mexico has been rich in traditions of lost mines that yielded treasures in the days of the Spanish conquerers or of the ancient Aztecs. No doubt during those strenuous uncertain days and many ricn mines were lost and still re- main lost, but it is equally probable. and perhaps moro probable, that still more are the children of vivid imagin- ations.
 Lost mines are by no means confined to Mexico. There have been many tales of them In our western mining states. They will keep coming to light from time to time. Lost mines have long been favorites with promoters of fraudulent tock.promotion schemes, the glamour of romance being made use of to inveigle the unwary and un- sophisticated into investing in stock in worthless mines. s.-Bisbee Review

And this reminds me: When l struck Rhyolite the other day, l was asked by an old miner who had not forsaken the town, where I was going to sleep that night. Not having made arrangements for the night, he point ed out incorporating two story build
 ing Just across the street, Go over there' he said, you will find If ele- gantly furnished sleeping rooms. Take your choice. The people who operated that place in the old days had barely enough money to get out of camp and they were forced to leave their belongings visited the place that evening and found it exactly as represented. There was plenty of all kinds of bedding, including pillows, fine spreads and everything. There were four well equipped bath rooms, but unfortunately, the hy- drants refused to turn loose water.

Opening Up Big Vein

Alex. Ratclitf was in Prescott yes terday after completing the assessment work upon his New Albany group of ten claims, which are situated about midway between the Senator mine and Walker. In doing work upon their claims, Mr. Ratclitf and John Curran have joined forces, thus being able to do shaft work. In shaft upon the New Albany claim, at a depth of 66 feet, the vein was crosscut and was found to be fourteen feet wide between walls. Practically the whole vein is ore at this point, a streak 7 l-2 feet in width carrying especially good values
 in copper, gold and silver. The New Albany vein is one of the strongest
 odes in the Senator and Groom creek sections. extending as it does a dis tance of at least five miles in a north erly direction to Groom creek, where it is believed to be the same vein as that upon which the Empire mine is situated, while to the south its course leads toward or into the Cash group. Mr. Ratcliff was in town for the pur- pose of perfecting arrangements with mining men for the more extensive development of his claims. If such ar engagements materialize, a tunnel 600 feet in length will be run to tap three nearly parallel veins, one of them be- ing the New Albany. When driven 600 feet, the breast of this tunnel will have a depth of 300 feet. The Twilight vein, one of the veins which will be crosscut by the tunnel, also carries ore of high grade.-Prescott Courier.

Yellow Aster is Installing EIec-
 tric Power.

A Randsburg dispatch says: A long term contract has been entered be- tween the Yellow Aster Mining & Milling company and the Southern Sierras Power company whereby the latter company agrees to furnish the Yellow AsIer mine with electric pow CT sufficient to operate the mills and various pumping plants, the power necessary for the operaClon of these plants being estimated at l.2OO horse power. It will take three to for months to install the necessary equip ment.
 The contract includes the construc, tion of power transmission lines from the Randsburg substation of the pow CT company to Goler Wells and Old Wells, surveys for which have already been completed. The material for the pole line is already on the way,
 The electric motors, each of 30O- horsepower capacity, will be used in operating the 100 stamp mill, and 100 horsepower will be required for the 3O,statnp m'll. At Goler Wells elec- tric motors of l90 horsepower capacity will be installed. A relay pumping station between here and Goler will be operated by l0O-horsepower mot or. l50 horsepower will be retained in the operation of the repumping station aud l90 horsepower at Old Wells. The extensive tram system of the Yellow Aster mine will be han dled with oilburning locomotives as heretofore.
 With total disbursement of 40,000S for the first eight months of 1913, the famous Yellow Aster mine has paid in profits to stockholders the sum of l,- lS6. 1898 since incorporation. The prop erty since it's discovery has been the premier gold producer in Kern county. Recent developments at the Yellow Aster have been exceptionally encour- aglng and the management is planning considerable work in new territory.

What Mir. Bryan Should Do.

In cutting vein of sarcasm Life says that, MT Bryan should take the advice of his host of Republican friends and relinquish the post of Secretary of State. What we require in that port folio. which is properly the fountain head of the diplomacy of the entire country, is a little more hypocrisy, a little more sophistry, little more in- directness. Mr. Bryan is much too direct in his methods. He is too much given to taking the public into hls con- fdence. He doesn't know how to hold cards in hls sleeve. He is too ready to do what he thinks right without regard to it's effect on the sensi. biities of Republican editors who have been used to something else.
 'If his salary Is not large, he should not seek to eke it out by methods which are open. above board and above suspicion He should put up the conve ntional American bluff and say nothing about it. Instead of talking to Chautauquas, he should use some advance government information to take fller or two in Wall Street. or he should help some of hls relatives to grab valu ible bits of pubic property,

D. D. D. Opens New Era
 in Cure of Skin Disease

Professor Budlong's case of eczema was known to almost every hospital and physician of reputation throughout the state of Connecticut. His letter is another interesting demonstration of what is being accomplished by the famous specific D. D. D., Prescription. "It may be of interest to you to know D. D. Prescription has been of incal- culable value to me. I was covered with eczema from head to foot when began using your remedies. I could get no relief, although I tried a thou ties of the Prescription; a cure Was

Nevada Having Hard Struggle

A Phoenix dispatch says:-George F. Detmore, miner well known throughout the mining sections of the entire west, was in Phoenix yesterday euroute from Nevada to Jerome, where he will be employed by large mining company.
 ''Scenes in some of the once famous and flourshing mining camps of Me- vada are now really pitable." said Mr. Detmore in discussing his soj ourn through that state. "Flourishing little cities of only few years ago with many costly Improvements, to- day stand mass of ruins, h Rhyo- lite, for instance, there were at least $500 happy, prosperous, hopeful people not more than five years ago. Fine brick blocks skirted the main business streets and the town boasted of two good hotels and many palatial resi- dences. The sales of the big stores ran into the four.fgure column every day and five very large gambling houses were crowded both night and day. There were saloons and dance halls innumerable, and the same 'boasted of a gilded palace of sin that outshone anything in the state.
 "There wasn't man who visited Rhyolite in those days but who pre- dicted wonderful future for the camp. I presume more men were working for los day than any other figure. Money was great deal more plentiful than water, which was sell Ing at 75 cents per bucket. h cost man HIS per week for a 6XS room, and you couldn't buy anything that looked like a meal for less than Is. There were two weekly newspapers in the town carrying from l6 to ? pages, in each issue loaded with advertising : that paid IS per Inch per issue. The subscription price was Is per year. Local reporters were paid los per day for their work, which was of course confined mostly to writing up of mines. Similar conditions existed in Beatty, about four miles distant.
 To-day Rhyolite is practically de- serted village There are hundreds of houses, some of them magnificent, standing idle, with smashed windows, battered down doors and scared walls. An elegant brick bank building, equip ped with costly furniture, stands in the heart of the former business sec tion, open to the public, with big steel vault doors ajar and the floor strewn with books, checks and worthless stock certificates. Expensive fixtures re. main in business houses and in some of the houses good looking furniture re- mains which was left when the people found the boom had exploded.

AT THE PRINCESS

Maybe it's because it's the first
presentation in stock that the
Princess players impart so much
life and verve to the performance
of the Regeneration of Aunt
Mary" this week; but whatever
the reason 1t ranks as one of their
best efforts.
Aunt Mary" is spinster who
hates the WICKED city until she
visits it and tastes of its pleas
ures. Then her former humdrum
existence loses all its charm, and
she wants to be Sporty" A
scapegrace nephew's troubles also
add to the plot of the piece.
Miss Florence Bell shows her
ability In her performance of
Aunt Mary. 1t is one of the best
things she has done, and is not
unworthy to be compared with
the work of May Robson. Leo
Lindhard shines this week as the
scapegrace-on of his favorite
light comedy roles. William
Brewer also does fine work. Miss
Laura Heimlich has an opportun-
ity this week and rises to the
emergency. A clever character
sketch is contributed by Miss
Jean Mallory as Lucinda.
A benefit performance will be
given Thursday afternoon for the
benefit of flood sufferers in Ohio.

Good Corn.

G. A. Lockwood who purchased {
$40 acre farm in the south eastern par
of our county in l7l2 was in the Heralt
Office Saturday with some fine sample,
of corn as We have ever seen in Colora
do and, for that matter, it is corn tha
would be credit to an Iowa or Illinoi,
farmer.
He has 100 acres of corn that he feel.
confident will make yield of 80 bush.
els per acre. Sixty acres of this corr
is matured and out of the way of fros,
and will as he believes, make yield Of
IS bushels per acre.
The balance Of his corn is some later
and not quite so good. He also has 25
acres Of Milo Maize and Rice Corn that
will make fine yield.
He informs US that the farmers Of
the southeastern part of the county
have a good crop Of corn regardless OF
the very unfavorable crop season and
that southeastern Phillips county will
make a fine showing in crop. especially
when the crop conditions are taken into
consideration.
Mr.. Lockwood expresses himself as
highly pleased with the crop from his
farm this year and believes that he
made good exchange when he traded
his land in Thayer county, Neb., for
his present farm. He says that Fh'llips
county. Colorado, is good enough for
him.
