agitator, about whom everybody is
curious, the following story may be
OF interest:
Mary Harris, born in Cork, Ire
land, 60 years ago, of respectable
parentage and good antecedents.
Brought to New England at an
early age. People settled in Maine.
Educated in common school. Taught
country school for several years.
Married a prosperous farmer, and
when widowed Immediately allied
herself with a labor movement then
attracting attention in the esat, claim
ing, that, she wanted to elevate the
laboring classes, educationally and
socially.
Began to associate with labor lead
ers and reformers at the time of
the, A. R. U. Strike = in, 1884, Since
then has kept pretty busy stirring
things up. Has had a record for
never advocating peace, nor arbitra-
ton; but, always being for strife and
war
Was particularly prominent in the
strike of 1895, miners strike of 1897,
central Pennsylvania strike of 1899
and 1900, the coal strike of last
year in the anthracite district in
Pennsylvania, and the textile strike
in Philadelphia.
During the latter strike she placed
herself at the head of 100 men, wo-
men and children, and started with
them on d march to Oyster Bay to
interview President Roosevelt and
demand his Intervention in behalf
of the strikers She held daily meet
ings along the route, soliciting sub
scriptions for the maintenance of
her party, and finally landed at
Oyster Bay with a handful of her
followers-but she did not see the
president, and the expedition ended
there.
THAT is the record, so far as the
labor movement is concerned, of the
woman known from Maine to Cali
fornia as Mother" Jones, labor agi-
tator and leader-'Mother" Jones,
who is always to the front when
there is strife, with her battle cry
of Wed rather fight than work" !;
Mother Jones, who gets S. per day
and expenses so long as there is
/ trouble brewing, who since 1900 has
received a salary from the mine
workers organization, and who is
said to be worth any FIVE men as
an agitator.

fice there is another record, one
that reaches back to 1889, when
Mother" Jones was a weu-known
character, not alone in the red
light district of Denver, but in
Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago, and
far-off San Francisco.
That record covers many pages,
but few of the facts are al! tl'at

trouble with the Rogers woman for
brlbing all of her girls to leave
her and go to a house in Omaha,
for which act she was paid a pro-
curess's fee of S. to $40 apiece
for the girls.
"She was a confidential servant
in Rose Lovejoy's house on Market
street, Denver, and with her several
years. -
WAS well known to Annie Wilson,
another Denver woman, who ran a
place on Market street, afterwards
had a place in Cripple Creek, and
now lives in Kansas City"

whom she went to San Francisco.

prominent part in the Denver prep
iarations for their cars" -...-

player at 1925 Market street, who
says he knew her first in Omaha
in 1894, when she lived in a house
at Tenth and Douglas, he was then

Mother" Jones didn't appear at
the Coliseum hall mass meeting last
Sunday night. Neither did she formal
ly launch the new political party for
which she stands sponsor. All to the
great disappointment of the crowd
that had gathered to see her.
She came to Denver early last
Sunday morning from Trinidad, with
the avowed intention of making one
of her ''rip-snorting" speeches at the
meeting. She went to the Oxford,
got some Denver papers, and sud
denly became indisposed-at least,
that is the story she gave out.
And now Mother" Jones has dis
appeared-utterly vanished from

Monday morning, and since that

MINE
Largest Known Body of Copper in Ora

Transfer of the controlling interest
in the San Juan mine, the largest
known body of copper ore in Ora
ham county, to F. W. Estabrook was
announced today by local parties. Al
though the details of the transaction
were not made public, it is KIN own
that one of the results-will be the i'm
mediate development of the claims
owend by the company on a large
scale.
The holdings of the San Juan Min
ing company, which have already
been partially developed, consist of
twelve claims in the Lone Star min
ing district. After 100000 worth of
ore had been shipped, disagreement
between stockholders and the man
agement of the company and the low
price of copper caused suspension
of operations The required assess

MOTHER" JONES,
MOTHER OF
TROUBLE

Does the visit of Mother Jones"
in Arizona portend a renewal of
labor trouble in Arizona? Accord
ing to her own admissions her resi-
dence is wherever there is trouble. 4"
The history of her activities not
only bear out this assertion but
shows that often where there was
no trouble, she endeavored to .es-
tablish her residence by creating
trouble, in fact, the endearing name
by which she is known mother"
could be justly applied to her only
as the mother of trouble.
During her brief stay in Phoenix
as z reward for declaring Gov. Hunt
to be the greatest governor that
the country has ever produced, the
latter sent her a handsome .boquet
to her hotel. The congressional rec
ord of June IS, 1914, contains a

F. W. Estabrook, who now acquires

is member of the board of directors

be the president in the new organiza-

have not as yet been announced. A

the statement added that other prin-

There were a dozen business blocks under construction in Mirapolis, with a proportional number of dwellings and suburban villas at various stages in the race toward completion, when 1t began to dawn upon the collective consciousness of daily increasing citizenry that something was missing. Garner, the real estate plunger from Kansas City, first gave the missing quantity it's name. The distant thun- der of the blasts heralding the ap- proach of the railroad had ceased be- tween two days.
 Up to che period of the silenced dy- namite thunderings new industries were projected daily, and investors, tolled in over the high mossnssin trails or across the Buckskin in dust-en- crusted automobiles by methods best knGwn to gray-mustached adept in the art of promotion, thronged the lobby of the Hotel Metropole and bought and sold Mirapolis corners" or "insides" on a steadily-ascending scale of prices.
 A strange mania for holding on, for permanency, seemed to have become epidemic. Many of the working men were securing homes on the install ment plan. A good few of the villas

could boast parquetry floors and tiled bathrooms. One coterie of Chicagoans decided to build a six-storied office building, with ground floor corner for the Niquoia National bank with modern conveniences and that the chosen building material should be of nothing less permanent than mono lithic concrete.
 In harmony with the same spirit the newly incorporated Buckskin Gold Mining and Milling company plowed deep furrows to bedrock across and back until the face of Jacks mountain was zigzagged and scared like vet eran of many battles.
 In keeping was the energy with which MT. Cartwright and his munich pal colleagues laid water mains, strung electric wires, drove the paving con- tractors, and pushed the trolley line to the stage at which it lacked only the rails and the cars awaiting shipment by the railroad.
 This was the situation on the day when Garner, sharp-eared listener at the keyhole of opportunity, missing the dynamite rumblings, sent a cipher wire of inquiry to the East, got a rush" reply, and began warily to un- load his Mirapolitan holdings. Being a man of business, he ducked to cover first and talked afterward; but by the

 Neckwear, of Which There Is Plenty

Quitting the girl graduate for the closing of her school days and for her summertime occupations will certainly include providing her with one pretty frock of taffeta There is no end to the variety in dresses of this kind, but among them all none more suited to a young girl could be found than the simple, cool-looking and graceful model which is shown in the picture.
 The straight-hanging skirt is merely four lengths of the silk stitched to- gether and hemmed. It is gathered with narrow waistband. Two bands of taffeta, about four inches wide, are cut on the straight of the goods and

 To add the charm of daintiness to the toilette. or to make plain blouse or dress more attractive, or merely to provide a careful and pretty finish. is the mission of neckwear.

The plaitings are sewed to band of narrow ribbon just long enough to reach about the neck. A small ribbon bow and little nose gay of flowers conceal the fastening of the ruff, or the flowers are some times mounted at the side, the ruff fastening with ribbon ties at the front.
