BENJAMIN A. HOSKINS.

Benjamin Arthur HOskins died at
his home at Van Nuys, California, on
June 9th. He was born on March 16
1S49, at DOdgeville, Wis. His father,
Cornish miner, went to Dodgeville
in 1916, with the influx of Cornish
and Northumberland miners to open
the lead mines of Wisconsin. His
mother was an Arthur from Devon
and her mother was a daughter of
Lord Warren of Devonshire. Their
old home, stone house, is still stand
ing near the tracks of the Illinois
Central railroad.
1t was a wild country and the OPP
portunities for an education were
very limited. AS a boy Uncle Ben
sorted Galena from the waste dumps,
which was received as cash at the
stores. At about eleven years of age
he joined his father in lead mining
and received ''boys" wages. Later.
he went to the Lake Superior copper
mines and then to Utah and Nevada.
AT Bingham Canyon he introduced
the hand jig for concentrating lead
ores. Later, he was attracted to
Arizona and reached Tucson in July
1878. There were no railroads in
Arizona at this date and the Apache
Indians were pretty troublesome.
Mr.. Arthur Thacher of st. Louis
writes: I'm the Spring of 1879, had
the good fortune to meet Uncle Ben
at Orc Blanco and since then have
been associated with him. In the
early ZOOS he was running the Re
ward Gold Mine in Inyo county,
California. Later he came to Miss
ouri and had charge of the Mining
works of the Central Lead Company.
The property was sold to the Guggen
helms in 1905 and on January 1.
1907, he went to Mineral Point, Wis,
for the Mineral Point Zinc Company
and continued in this field until OPP

COAL MINE MEN
UNABLE To AGREE
Secretary Davis Adjourns Con-
ference Until July 10.
u. S. PEACE PLAN DISCUSSED
Hope Expressed by Cabinet Officials
That Both Groups VIII Change
Their Minds by Next Week
and Settle Strike.

Washington, July 4. President
Harding's national coal conference
held another protracted session be-
hind closed doors, finally adjourning
until Monday, July 10, without break
ing the deadlock which developed on
Sunday or without progressing to-
ward settlement of the nationwide
coal strike.
At the close of the session. Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover and Sec
rotary of Labor Davis, the Presf-
dents official representatives in the
conference, asserted mo agreement
had been reached" On any of the
points involved in the difficulties be-
tween the operators and the bitumi-
nous miners.
Cabinet Leaders Hopeful.
Both Hoover and Davis said they
regarded the situation as hopeful"
because the conference was still be-
ing held intact and both combatant
groups, despite their widening differ
ences, were willing to continue the
discussions in an effort to satisfy the
demand Of the administration for a
settlement of the strike.
The governments peace plan was
not outlined fully, though some of the
points agreed upon by the admins
tration for settling the strike were
discussed informally.
Stormy Session Held.
The formal conversations between
the warning leaders of the coal indus
try led to heated argument and the
session was described as stormy. The
motion to adjourn for week was
made by Secretary Davis when it be-
came evident that the quarrel of the
operators and miners was becoming
so acute that the conference was like
ly to break up with no result what
ever.
The hope was expressed by the
cabinet officials that both groups
would have changed their minds" by
next week so that a compromise
agreement might be effected as a basis
for the opening Of actual negotiations
to end the strike.
Miners and Owners Firm.
The miners. led by their union
president, John L. Lewis, stood out
for a national conference, while the
operators, headed by A. M. Ogle Of
the National Coal association, conti1l-
ued to insist upon district conferences
to fix new wage scales.
Secretary Davis left for Moose
heart, Ill, to deliver an address at the
Moose home there. While he is alb
sent the informal negotiations be-
tween the operators and miners prior
to the next a)int conference on Mon
day will be conducted by Secretary
Hoover.

What Makes a Land Wealthy.

Is it soil, climate, natural resour-
ces? In proportion to the education
of the people, in quantity and pro-
portion is the wealth producing
power of every country in the world.
Some believe fertile soil, position,
climate, or similar things make a
country wealthy. Switzerland is a
good proof that these conditions do
not always regulate the wealth of
country. 1t has in it's small area,
100000 people, four or five nation
al banks; country without natural
resources of any kind; one-eighth of
it covered with snow, with it's little
valleys, no seaboard, nine months Of
winter, and cold weather the rest of
the year without any kind Of mineral
resources. But now the people of
Switzerland are among the richest of
all the people in the world. The
wealth of the Swiss is due to their
schools. They have given their
money for the education of their peo-
pie and rank among the richest peo-
pie in the world.

co ON WITH THE STORY.

FROST in the air of that early
i wintlc day lent It's sunlight the
cold brilliance of diamond dust.
On Fifth Avenue the crush of motor
cars had grown SO dense that one
could hardly drive from the Plaza to
Thirty-fourth street in less than
thirty minutes.
Bellamy fumed over every halt
dictated by the winking semaI0ore
lights of the traffic towers. In his
understanding it was essential that
the car should set him down IN
front of the sedate pressed-brick
structure on East Thirtieth street
whose entrance was flakned by an
ever-stainless plate of brass advertis-
ing in dignifed black letters, "OFFl-
CES OF THE BRUCE ESTATE
necessary for the planting of what
he pleased to term his "alibi."
1t was true, Lucinda had never
deigned to question zervant about
his comings and going, he had no
reason to believe she would ever be
so far forgetful of her dignity. Still,
if one will flirt with fire, the first
rule is to take out insurance.
Today found Bellamy more out Of
humor with himself than ever be
fore, more disposed to consider turn
ing over new leaf, project often
mooted by his conscience (always
when he was falling out of love-
often approved but never seriously
tackled.
Thrice in the course of the scant
Ahour he spent at his desk Bellamy
put out hand to the telephone,
meaning to call up Apelie and call
it off; and thrice withheld his hand,
partly because he hated the thought
of a wrangle over the wire, partly
because he was afraid the girl at the
switchboard might listen in.
In the end he left his office half an
hour earlier than he need have and
took a taxi to the Clique.
The Clique club was a post-prohi-
bition institution of New York, run
in direct, more or less open, and ia
mously successful defiance of the
Eighteenth amendment.
Amelie Severn kept BelIamy kick
ing his heels bad quarter of an
hour longer than she need have, but
his temper was obscured by the adj
miration which her undeniable good
looks excited. There was compensa-
ton in the knowledge that one hed
made a conquest of so rare a crea-
ture.
Amelie had married Ross Severn
because he was well-to-do, uninter-
esting, middle-aged, of good family
and had quickly repented because
he spoiled her and showed no ffiten-

selfish second thought took shape in
the angry eyes and melted their ice
to mist of unshed tears beneath
lids newly dangerous. The petulant
lips, too, rebound their tremulous
tenderness. Amehe's hand fell upon
Bellamy's in a warm, convulsive
clasp. She leaned across the corner
reconsideration followed, visibly the
of the table.
He kissed her adequately but with
out any sort of emotion, thinking it
strange, all the while her mouth
chung to his, that he should clear
ly know this to be good acting, no
more than that, no less. Bellamy
was not accustomed to see through
women at SO young a stage of in
timacy; that came later, came sure
ly; but never before had 1t come SO
soon. And in little quake Of dread
he wondered if it were because he
had grown old beyond his years, too
aged in sentimental tippling to have
retained the capacity for generous
credulity of his younger years. Or
| was it that the woman's insincerity
had So eaten out her heart, no
technical perfection could lend per-
suasion to her playing, her caresses'
potency? Or that he had, since
morning, fallen in love with his wife
all over again and 50 truly that no
rival passio ncould seem real?
1t was true, at least, that his
