CELEBRATION KNOWN TO ALL
Every Nation and Race Has Had
Some Form Of Thanksgiving for
Bountiful Harvest.

Thanksgiving day is made up from
parts Of celebrations Of that day by
other peoples. The time Is taken from
one, the feast from another, and the
gathering together Of the people from
still another. Long before the white
race came to this country the Indians
held a festal day during this season
of the year. They had great feast Of
roasted deer and bear, boiled corn and
stewed pumpkin, and the women and
the warriors partook Of it on equality.
The feast was kept up far into the
night, and was followed by dance
Of the braves, keeping time to the
songs sung by the dusky maids Of the
forests.
Thanksgiving also owes something
to the religious rites Of ancient ma
lions. The oldest of these is the Jew
ish feast of the tabernacles, with its
magnificent festivities. The festival
occurred annually, at the end Of the
harvest season, and continued for eight
days. Sometimes it was held as early
DIS lliS ZJLL VI SGptCihDCAy Dut hCNOA
later than the Goth of October. 1t
was the feast of the "ingathering" Of
the harvest Of all the fruits, the corn,
the wine, and the oil. The labors Of
the field were then over for the year,
and the feast was an occasion Of joy
BUSINESS and gladness to the people. At
this season the nation assembled in
Jerusalem where they lived in booths
for seven days. Impressive ceremonies
and professions took place each day,
and at night the court Of the temple
was illuminated by lamps and fam
beaux. At the end Of seven days joy
the booths were dismantled and the
| people celebrated an eighth day OF
solemn rest.
The glory of the great Hebrew fes-
tival has long since passed away, but
the fundamental principle-tha every
one should rejoice in the fruits Of the
harvest, together with the whole peo-
| pie Of the land "befere the Lore"
has entered into the harvest observe
ances of Christian lands.

with plenty Of funds and time for

More and more she recognized their
attitude toward q "grass widow" was
mot such as greatly appealed to her.
she wished she hadn't called Gerald
la "stick-in-the-mud." Yes, that had
been her cruel epithet of him. e
! Gerald had written her that he
would not be down for Thanksgiving.
That was the great blow. 1t was al
together right for her to leave Ger
aid, but that Gerald should stay away
ION THANKSGIVING day was something
1unheard Of. What would people think?
More, what did she herself think?
Had she driven Gerald to someone
3else? More and more clearly she
seemed to see herself. How horribly
Ishe had treated him. How line and
devoted and splendid he was. How
much more wonderful than any one
lshe had ever meta million times bet
ter and finer than plenty Of these
men with far more money.
Thanksgiving day came, bright and
sunny. 1t was like Indian summer.
Many people came down to the beach
and wrapped themselves in rugs and
enjoyed the comforting sunshine.
Again and again she had snid. In an
iswer to the question, that her husband
would not be able to get down. She

beach, Everyone hurried towards Il

plane was not going to make her ap-
pear excited, interested. She had al
ways trained herself to suppress any
feelings Of curiosity such as this.

her arms around him and cried:
"Oh, my own, my own"
She jumped into the airplane. A
mechanic turned the propeller and
they were off
Gerald, Gerald" Frances called to
the buzzing birds above. The people
turned and looked at her and laughed
uproariously. She put her hands to
her ears as though to shut off their
cruel laughter and ran back to the
Inn.
Who was the girl? And why did
he meet her here? Had he wanted
to make Frances suffer SO? Was that
it? Did he want her to divorce him?
OF course. She asked herself these
questions over and over again.
Across her mind in rapidly vivid
pictures passed the happy hours she
had had with Gerald. AS blots upon
them appeared the unkindnesses she
had dealt him; all appeared before
her mind.
From time to time she sobbed con-
vulsively. "I've lost him, and it has
been my own fault" she cried.
Through the day she sat and thought
and cried. Toward evening from time
to time she heard voices in the hall,
people going to dress for dinner and
for the dance to be given that even
ing, and later she heard them go
down. Only she stayed alone.
A little later she heard sound at
the door, something of those

| VI had been told it many
times. She believed it and knew 1t
to be the truth. When Gerald Adams
had told her she was beautiful and
that he admired her, though Of her
money he spoke with disdain and ex-
pressed the wish that she possessed
none. she listened encourAgingIy.
Gerald was. however, relieved,
though he was sympathetic with
Frances for her own sake, when her
father suddenly lost his fortune. He
loved her too much to have it said
of him that he was marrying a girl
with money.
| At first poverty didn't seem SO hard
to Frances-and 1t was poverty COM
pared to her former financial condi-
ton. She began in short time,
though, to grow depressed and an
noyed and thought marriage was o
trial. Gerald, even, angered her. He
was prosaic, he had settled down. he
seemed so contented with life and
with the dull" work which he did in
the bank. He was so everlastingly
patient with her. And that, TOO, made
her tribulations seem greater.
!, So she had an imaginary nervous
breakdown and left the city to spend
the autumn at seashore place near
Iby, where Gerald could come for the
week ends. She didn't entirely want
Gerald out Of her way. When times
got very bad, her poverty and her
boredom got beyond control, she could
,,let off steam at least by talking to
Gerald.
1t was hard stinting for Gerald-the
double expenses-but he felt disgust
ed with himself because he couldn't
give her more. Alone in town he
looked upon himself as failure.
A great many people were staying
at the seashore until after Christmas

Of hurry (though, If Frances had been
properly aware Of the truth she would
have realized that no one was watch

Suddenly, as she drew nearer, she
saw Gerald. She was about to call
out to him when a girl, young and

DEVELOPMENT OF 300
 LEVEL OF DA|SELL

The work of retimbering the old shaft at the Daisell mine was com pleted this last week, and the com pany is now sinking from the 300 level to deepen the sump.After this is done the 300 level will be cleaned up and timbered, where there is caving, after which the drift will, be continued to intersect the ore body opened in the west drift.
 The vigorous development program planned at the Daisell, and the re- suming of the work on the 300, means heavier work for the hoist which will now be worked to it's fullest capacity. This calls for an additional unit of power to run the compressor and . 40 H. P. Fairbanks Morse has been purchased and will be installed in the near future after which the force of men working at the Daisell will be materially increased.
 As soon as practicable the large ore body, which the company has been de- veloping the past few months, will be blocked out and mill installed, which action has been contemplated as soon as conditions warrant it.

SICkLES GROUP TAKEN

This week a deal was consumated whereby Tom Sickles group of six claims was taken over by group of eastern men. A good sized payment was made and the balance will be paid in the near future it is understood. The deal was handled by J. S. Withers who will be identified with the new company.
 This property is located in the Wal apai'mountains and has a good show ing of gold and silver, silver predom- mating.
 The outcrop and such development work as has been done makes the property look very promising. It is understood that development work will be started by the new company in the near future.

MACHINERY BEING
 INSTALLED IN THE
 MILL OF DEAN MINE

The machinery is now being in stalled in the Dean Mill. The late storms have made progress difficult, but the work has gone on just the same. The capacity of the plant will be about 40 tons in "A hours. Ordin- arily plant of this character and capacity would cost about $40,OO0.O0 but the present owners are getting re- suits at much less expenditure.
 The very common mistake of erect a mill before sufficient ore is blocked out, seems not to have been made in this instance as there is sufficient ore of excellent milling value exposed and ready for extraction, to fully justify the mill and to. keep it running regul- arly.
 Capt. Gibson is living at the mine and giving his time to the develop ment of the project.
 From all information obtainable it would seem that the old Dean is des- tined to shortly become one of the real mines of thisssection of the state.

FOR
 SINKING OF SHAFT
 ON THE L.X.L. MINE

Superintendent G. D. Atlee, of the I. X. L. was in from the mine this week ,and says he has a full crew of men at work on the road, prepar- ing the camp and grading the foun- dation for the hoist and head frame. A 25 H. P. hoist has been purchased and will be on the ground in a few days, and the timbers for the head frame are now being hauled to the property, but have been delayed some while the road was being repaired from the effects of the recent storm. The new compressor which was order ed some time ago will arrive at King man sometime this coming week.
 After the installation of the mach inery the shaft on the I. X. L. will be sunk to a depth of 300 feet, when drifts will be run on the ledge both north and south under the old stopes from which the high grade ore was shipped in the early days. It is ex- pected that these drifts will open up large bodies of ore, which, with the present price of silver, will be of good milling value. The ledge is wide and the ore shoots long and after the de- velopment program is underway, it should not be long. before a large body of ore is blocked.
