THIRTEENTH STORY
The Goad of Jealousy.

When Tom WolcOtt came to his
thought was that he had been trans
ported to Paradise.
For, above the injured man. leaned
someone who surely could be nothing
less than an angel.
Presently she moved away. And
Tom Olcott closing his blo0dshot eyes,
tried to think-to remember.
Little by little the events OF the
day drifted back into his confused
mind. He recalled going, as usual. to
his physical culture school; chatting
a moment with Minna Blair, his splen-
didly efficient assistant; then going
into the gymnasium where the first
class Of the morning awaited him.
He remembered showing one of his
more stupid pupils an easy trick on the
rings" Then, as he had swung from
one set Of rings to the next, he had
heard the Swapping Of defective
rope. He remembered plunging down
ward; far beyond the friendly shell
ter OF the mat, headforemost on the
hardwood floor.
While he was digestlng these I'M
pleasant discoveries the vision in
white re-entered the room. And now,
his sight growing clearer, he saw she
was no fever-bOrn apparition, but a
trained nurse; also that she was the
very prettieSt and most winsome girl
he had ever beheld.
Even In the pain and deadly nausea
that gripped him, he felt a queer thrill
OF delight as his eyes met hers. He
wanted to tell her how beautiful she
was. But an impulse of sanity
checked him and he merely asked:
How did l get here"
The nurse replied:
you were injured while you were
conducting a class at your physical
culture school. A Miss Blair who
said she was your assistant, teIe
phoned here for an ambulance and for
n private room for you"
Good old Minna :" he said. family.
"She's brick. She always knows
what to do. How badly am l dam
aged, nIrSe?'
mot dangerously, at all, Mr.. OIcott,"
was her CHEEKY answer But your
collar-bOne is fractured, and so is your
right wrist. And you are suffering |
npoAs shock. There was concussion of |
brain, too. But you've come very
" out of that"
Ehat is your name?' he asked
WM IN Utmost childish bluntness.
iIil - name is Olive Hale" she made
.nswer, adding with mock severity.
fand now you must stop talking and
Nv to get some sleep. The more rest
du get the sooner you will be back
N helm in your physical culture
school. And the sooner you can see
hat pretty assistant of yours again."
Tom half-imagined there was
inge of bitterness in Olive Hale's last
sentence. But he dismissed the no.
ion as too idiotic for belief, and said:
MY pretty ASSISTANT You mean
Minna Blair? Why. Minna isn't es-
pecially pretty. At least, II she is, I
never stopped to think about it. We're
both kept too busy at the gym, Min
ma and l, to bother about each others
looks. But she's a brick. She's per-
fectly fine. l don't know how I'd get
on without Minna. She"
you must not talk" Olive inter
rupted.

followed would have been torture to

P|T|FUL CASE
 WARRANTS HELP

A particularly pitiful case was brought to the attention of the county yesterday of a widow with four chil- dren, the eldest of which is years old, the entire family being without food or proper surroundings. The case was of such nature that immediate relief was offered by J. w. Canning, in charge or the county indigents ,-Io upon later in vestigation found the circumstances even more serious than at first ap peared. The only article of furniture in the hut where the family made it's home was d bed spring. without mat tress. There were no chairs, tables or even stool. A crust Of bread was the only bit of food.
 While the county ii doing more than it's share in helping the woman who is making a desperate struggle to help her children, it cannot begin to give what is needed in this home. If anyone has any bedding, old furniture. food or clothing they are requested to tele phone 2304 and MT. Canning will call for the parcel.

of The new shaft will Have a great deal to do from the moment it is in readiness for business. Junction will find the assistance it will get very ac- ceptable. notwithstanding the fact that when Junction was completed few years ago to it's present depth it was considered that ample provision had been made in this main working shaft to relieve c. X A. from the considera- ton of future sinking of extensive character from the surface, all of which will give a hint of the great expansion which c. X A. operations have brought about underground.
 Good things, like bad, seldom hap pen singly. It may be that with the upturn of highly substantial kind which the resumption on Denn repre- sents another property long in favor but lacking vigorous direction may come strongly into the limelight. in the Warren district. Reference is made to Wolverine. Development and min ing have gone on steadily with Vol verine, but with high conservatism Not even high prices for copper ore have been able to disturb the equanim- ity of the program, made long before the war. Leasers on Wolverine dur ing recent months. however, have not been bound by conservatism and it is of knowledge that they have much im- proved the appearance of things on certain parts of the property. Mean time the development work prosecuted by Wolverine management has been attended by some very good things. It might readily be that Wolverine would take on new life before long. Its shares have long been considered one of the best buys in the district for a steady pull. It has big property and a great deal of opportunity. New de- velopment by Arizona -Bisbee and oth- CT interests on the further side of Wolverine has lately added to the favor in which the property stands. A good deal of value to the district in point of expansion of it's proven area might be happening over that way be- fore long.

The Warren District

BISBEE, May 12-Resumption of development in Denn- Arizona mine and the beginning of active sinking of the great new five compartment con- crete shaft which Calumet S Arizona will put down to depth of 2.0OO feet to lift part of the constantly growing burden from Junction shaft, mark the two large items of recent occur renee in the mining division in Ari- Zofla
 The Denn work is proceeding under the direction of Superintendent Houle of Shattuck- Arizona. A little later it will be along to a point where the employment of considerable force of men will be possible That opening of the mine and the making of another producer is to be gone about earnestly and effectively is well indicated in the steps taken to date.
 Presumption has long been that Denn would ultimately come under the con- trol of Shattuck- Arizona and add very materially to the assets ofthe latter The Shattuck interests and the Denn interests have always been pretty much identical. Whether actual mer- ger will occur, however remains to be seen. Surprises are always possible of occurrence. Recent rumor has had it that Denn was in much fairer way to go into the hands of another big copper producing corporation than to Shattuck, there is nothing obtainab , about this, however, beyond hearsay. An indisputable fact is that Denn is very desirable property, worthy of the endeavor of any interest.
 Calumet x Arizona's new shaft, al Bakerville, will take care of a very large and attractive new ore area that has been opened into in the course of development of the last two years This area has steadily grown in resources and has added a great deal more to the reserves of C. X A. and to it's proven zones than there is realization

mercial, to the Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Congress that it's activities could be applied to excellent purpose at this time to checking the operations of the promoters of pros poets who are claiming the possession of valuable mines and near mines in extrava gant eastern advertising cam paigns has met with much interest and approval in the office of Governor Campbell. It has become known from that quarter that it is desired to oper- ate in any way that rnay be possible to the end of protecting the public both at home and abroad in a wider measure than has heretofore been at tempted.
 Among suggestions that have, been advanced along this line is one which proposes the appointment of a mem Der of the corporation commission who shall exercise the functions of an ex- aminer in similar manner to that em- ployed by bank examiners. In other words- this examiner should have the ability to enter the offices and the properties of developing companies and determine whether their finances are being handled honestly and their development work being conducted both competently and honestly. In the event of finding that shareholders were not being treated fairly, the eX- aminer, under this proposal, would so report tC the corporation commission and the latter would take the same course that the comptroller of the cur Yrency would exercise in closing a bank following like report from an eX- aminer. It is argued that this man ner of regulation would quickly put the Wildcatters out of business. The proposal is meeting with much favor among legitimate operators over the state.
 It is recognized that wildcatters are at this time inclined to more boldness in their operations than ever before, because of the nearer possibility of the end of the sunshine period for new mining ventures. At the same time the increasing metal production in Ari- Zona attended by enormous expen- ditures of money by established pro- dueers to the end of increased effi- ciency and facilities affords the wild cater an alluring quality of bait for small investors who are inclined to the flier rshabit, and fail of looking before leaplnS. It is not questioned that there are many legitimate develop ment enterprises being conducted in the state, for the determination of commercial bodies of various metals. but it is also certain that there are concerns which are acquiring money from the public without reasonable grounds existing for the belief that they will make adequate returns. The investor needs to examine very thor oughiy the business standing and min ing ability records of those with whom he is asked to invest. In most instances the conclusion is likely to be reached that the money the investor has avail able might a great deal better, be placed in a smaller number of the shares of an established producer on an efficiency basis and with a fair di- vidend rate in effect.

FRUIT PROSPECTS
BEST IN HISTORY
Many Believe That Late Season VIII
Mean Bumper Crops I'm All the Or
chards OF this Country.

That the fruit CROP will be better
than usual in southern Idaho seems
to be the concensus of opinion here.
The late season and the presence of
frost in the ground has kept the trees
from blooming and it is believed that
when the blossoms come it will be too
late for the frost to hurt them The
fact that there was practically no
fruit last year, will probably make the
trees bear more heavily than ever this
year.
Unless heavy frosts comes after the
snow today, it is thought that the be-
lated spring viii open at once with
the ground in good condition. In view
of the condition in which canal banks
have been left by the long winter, the
extra moisture at this time is regard
ed as fortunate by many.
