 Whereas Cousin John insisted on making Laxton stick to Roman, an- tiouities and express opinions on wild theories which he invented on the spur of the moment.
 Cousin John chuckled over the thought of it all, hoped he'd been useful to my mother, ate the last of the raspberries in the garden bought little sketch from me and took himself off to London again in high good humor.

 The veritable Cousin John stayed with us till Monday afternoon. He gave an amusing account of his collloquy with Laxton, which seem- cd to consist almost entirely of cross questions and crooked ans wers. Laxton wanted to know what he thought of Devonshire and constantly returned to that subject, though Cousin John assured him that he had never been in Devon- shire.
 Laxton took him round the cloi.- ters and pointed out wha. a per-

 Somebody jumping his claim on the ruins, 'spose,' said he. But I don't want to know. The less l know the less likely to go wrong.
 It was Sunday morning. He went down to the village about half past 10 and found Laxton at the inn. Whether he puzzled that astute person was difficult to say. But he found him entertaining, even went to service at Markings church ! with him, and had Q look at the diggings afterwards.

GOOD PROGRESS MADE ON WORK
 ON TULsEQUAHl !
Drive 546 Feet Tunnel l,024Feet Diamond Drill
 ling During August

total of GAG feet of underground development work was done on the Tulsequah Chief property by the United Eastern during the month of August, according to John B. Stapler, engineer in charge, who returned Sunday from trip there with British Columbia mining and road offircers. During the same period 1,O24 feet of diamond drill holes were run.
 1 A crew of 38 men is being em- ployed at the present time. De- yclopment work continues to pro- duce quite satisfactory results, MT. Stapler said. The crew will be kept at work as long as weather conditions will permit. Operations will be suspended during the win ter season, and will be resumed as early as the spring breakup will permit.
 At a meeting of the residents Of the district held last week, the settlement was named Eaton, B. C., by popular vote The name was chosen in honor of w. A. Eaton, weu-known mining man of this district whose work with Dan Will jams on the Tulsequah Chief is credited with being the main fac tor in the opening up of the Taku district. MT. Eaton had charge of the initial development work and personally induced the United Eastern to take over the property and continue it's development "The compliment paid MT. Eator in naming the settlement was vel merited," MT Stapler said.
 The settlement location is jus above the junction of the Tulse' ouah and Taku rivers. The United Eastern has located sites for ware
 houses and other facilities there , William Strong has built a stor' and put in a stock of goods fol
 the district. The site is on deel
 water and accessible to river navi gation. It can be connected witt
 both the United Eastern and Al | aska Juneau properties by roads. With the establishment of tn
 Eaton settlement, it is expecte' here that British Columbia polio and Canadian Customs service > will send representatives to tn ' district. It is understood that rec {. concentrations have already beel

John Merryweather entered with remarkable good humor into the conspiracy my mother had design ed. He never knew what it was all about. He had an irresistible i'm pulse to do whatever my mother asked him.
 The climax of her plot was the black bag-a touch of genius, that. It's triumph was the suggestion that he should go the following morning and look up Laxton at the Lord Nelson and ask to be shown over the excavations at Newplace.
 We instructed him exactly in his part. We told him that he had arrived from Holman Bay in a taxi on Tuesday night and spent Wednesday. Thursday and Friday with us, in bed with. a very bad cold. on Friday night he had been called to London on business and I had seen him off by the
