money came after him. They knew
the hazards and the posslblllties OF
the game. One of them, Bill Farlsh'
offered $4,000 to Stratton. AS usual
this was not to be all cash. There
was to be an initial payment or
$4,000 and $4,000 was to be paid at
the end of the year Stratton accept
ed. He couldn't lose either way. He
had the laugh on the jokers who had
been talking so much about him. The
$4,000 real money and the possibility
of getting forty-five thousand more.
made him feel almost plutocratic.
Parish and his associates got cold
feet in short order. The body of the
ore they had been so much impressed
by dribbled out to nothing. They were
fully satisfied their $4,000 was lost.
They were fully satisfied too, that the
mine was a bad property. They did
some inconseQuential work for the
full - months, but the further they
went in extending the mine, the poor
er was the return in ore.
Back to Stratton went the title to
the mine when the year was up. Once
more the jokers had an inning. They
used to sing song in Cripple Creek
that was parody on The Cat Came
Back" 1t wasn't a Sunday school
hymn by any means.
That mine had been pretty good to
Stratton. 1t had brought $3.50 in
real money. There was no telling
NOW much more might come his way.
It's no wonder, therefore, that he went
back to it. He switched, however, in
regard to his operation. He had been
working the independence claim.
When he went back he began working
the George Washington. He made
some money out Of this, not enough

report was not reassuring. Once he
got out as much as carload OF ore
This didn't bring him a days wages.
Then instead of widening, the little
veins of metal seemed to peter out
the deeper he went.
Stratton worked for several months
and then became convinced that the
mine was of no account, or at least
no account for man who didn't nave
enough money to carry the smart
deeper into the earth than he could
afford. He was about at the end OF
his resources. He had to earn some
money to pay debts he had contract
ed and pay for his daily fare. He did
little carpentering and worked as
day laborer in other mines. Mean
while he looked around to find some
one to whom he could sell his hole IN
the ground. No one had much con-
fidence in his property but there is
nothing like perseverance, and after a
weary search he finally dug up per-
son who agreed to pay $500 for the
two claims. The purchaser was very
careful. He didn't mean to get stung.
He paid 500 down and agreed to pay
the other $500 six months later. If
the mine was all right he IVES safe.
If it wasn't, all he could lose would
be the 500 and the work he put in.
Stratton was very happy when he
got that 500. 1t was lot of money
just then.
The purchaser of the Stratton
claims was not so happy. He pro.
ceeded to get what stuff he could out
of the mine. He didn't get much. If
he worked "a hours a day he might
get enough gold or silver to pay for
one good meal, but not much more.
He was logged sort of individual
and the more he thought about that
500 of his good money that had gone

turned to the independence.
