Psychological Research. It is regret table that there was an anti-climax.
 Lew Elicit, it transpired, was a drunken. worthless character. He spent the winter in Phoenix, hanging about the saloons. sleeping at the Dublin corral. When decent weather came again in the mountains. Abner urged his brother to resume opera tions on the mine He told him that they were both old and would have but little time to enjoy the great wealth that was in store for them un, der the flat rock. Lew fingered until at last. driven by the insistence of his brother. he consented to return to the mine. Abner purchased a team and wagon, loaded it with supplies, and Lew was expected to leave the fol- lowing morning.
 Late in the afternoon of that day, as he passed the corral. he was amazed to see Lew come reeling out of it. "I thought you started to the mine." said Abner
 There ain't no mine," replied Lew with the frankness of intoxication
 But there is" persisted Abner; didn't we have $500 ore?"
 "Oh." jeered Lew, that ore didn't come from within ten miles of that mine"
 l have never seen a more dOwncast discouraged man than Abner Elicit that night. The earth had been cut from beneath his feet But he slept over it and though he had lost con fidence in his brother. his confidence in the dream had returned with its full force. So much had been con firmed that there could be no failure in the family.
 A few weeks later Abner Elicit re- turned to Kansas, stopping at the Dream Mine. No work had been done. on it. He employed a couple of Mexicans and they sank an eight-fOot shaft through the flat rock. They took out quantity of ore which. Alb ner wrote me. had shown good val ues; there was not very much of it. but there were indications that the volume would increase with depth. But all indications, however bright. were dull and were valueless in com parisOn with the dream.
 The next fall Abner Elicit returned and a little more work was done on the mine. Whether his faith was fail ing or not. I do not know, but on his third visit he did not visit the prop, erty at all On a fourth, I think he informally organized a company of Phoenix men, for the development of the property. but, so far as I know, operations were never resumed.

THE ARIZONA DREAM MINE
By ]. w. SPEAR, in Arizona Magazine.

ed that his brother owned a silver mine about sixty miles south of Pres colt; that be himself had visited the mine and that he had found a gold mine in the vicinity. His gold mine consisted. he said, of a very rich de posit of gold in a bluff, capped by a flat rock, on the edge of a gulch. This rock was exactly 400 yards south and 600 yards east of the mouth" of the silver mine.
 In due time he received a letter from his brother. saying that he and a man named George Sine owned a silver mine sixty miles south of Pres colt He said that he had followed the measurements given him by Alb ner Elicit, but they had led him to nc flat rock on the edge of a gulch. He added that he did not much believe in dreams. anyway.
 In 1892 Abner Elicit, accompan- jed by his wife, went to Prescott. He told the writer. not long afterward. that the town when he first saw it, was almost as familiar to him as Goffs He remembered all the more proml- nent buildings. the Burke hotel and the courthouse. He thought he also recalled some of the people his CT rant soul had seen.
 He accompanied his brother to his silver mine and recognized many of the landmarks he had seen through the eyes of his soul. The mine was quite familiar to him, though he had never in the flesh seen any kind of a mine. He had provided himself with a measured rope. He learned that his brother had made a mistake. He had gone 600 yards south and 400 yards east. Correcting this measure ment according to his dream. he found the rock on the edge of the gulch. It was not a promising site for a gold mine, and moreover. it was not in a gold region. A thin trans verse ledge of decomposed granite was found in the bottom of the gulch and, though it had no appearance of being gold-bearing rock, it was as saved and was found to run high in gold.
 The Elicit brothers and Sine locat- ed the property and called it the Dream Mine" It was then late in the fall or early in the winter and Elicit and his wife were ordered to a lower altitude. They came to Phoe- nix, Abner having provided 'his brother with money for development of the claim.
 A month later, Lew Elicit appeared in Phoenix, saying that the heavy snows in the Eradshaws had stopped work. He brought with him samples of ore which he said had been eL- countered at the bottom of a ten-foot shaft; there were indications, he said. of an almost inexhaustible deposit of such ore. One sample was taken to J. A. Porterie, the assayer. and an- other to the agents of the McArthur- Forrest process. which then had an office in Phoenix. The assays varied only slightly. showing values between S450 and $500 a ton

THE ARIZONA DREAM MINE-SUN
 The soul of Abner Ellet wandered away from his body. explored regions of which he had never heard. found a long lost brother and a mine in Ari- Zona. This remarkable incident of a quarter of a century ago involved the writer in a correspondence with the London Society for Psychical Re search. of which the late Rt. Hon. w. F.. Gladstone was an earnest member and investigator The society asked for more complete narration than was contained in a press dispatch from Phoenix. Abner Elicit was after ward well known here. His brother, Lew Elicit, was an early resident ot the territory and in the late seventies went into the Mule Mountains with George Warren, after whom that dis trict was named.
 The telling of this story should be begun at the beginning.
 The Elicit brothers. natives of Kentucky, enlisted on the side of the Union in the Civil war and fought through that struggle. Abner Elicit was regularly mustered out of the service, but Lew Elicit, after the sur render of Lee, when it was apparent that there was no more fighting to be done. summarily left and became tech nically a deserter.
 Soon after the close of the war, Ab- ner Elicit married and moved to a farm near Goffs, in the northeastern rf nf In 1CGO fhn first word was received from his brother, who was then in Montana territory. He was. after that. heard from irreg- ularly during the next ten years. He was moving about in Montana, north ern California and Nevada. After 1878 no letter was received from him and he was then given up as dead.
 It will be noticed that the figure "S'' enters into this relation with ire quency. In 1888 Abner Elicit, then in robust health. one day drove from Goffs to Wetmore, the county seat. Soon after his arrival he was sudden ly stricken down and was carried into a hotel. where he lay for the next three days. a part of the time in a coma and a part of the time in a de lirium.
 He recovered as suddenly as he had been stricken and insisted, until he had been convinced by a prepOnder- ance of evidence that he had not been out of the room where he lay, that he had been on a visit to a place called Prescott, Arizona, where he had met his brother Lew. Abner Elicit had probably never heard of Prescott. He was an ignorant man and in those days there were many intelligent per sons in the United States who were not aware of the existence of Arizona towns.
 In few days he received a letter from his brother. who was actually al Prescott, and that fact seemed so re- markable that the Kansas City Star devoted much space to the chronicfing of the incident. The correspondence thus reopened, Abner Elicit wrote his brother about what he called his dream" He said that he had dream
