This spring is $500 feet above
sea level and has an even tempera-
ture during the entire year, and
since 1918 it's waters have demon
strated some rather wonderful feats
in relieving pain and suffering in
many cases of neuritis, asthma, hay
fever. kidney trouble aid other
ailments Of the sick and suffering,
and not once has a doctor visited
the Smuggler mine professionally,
since 1919, as far as the records
show.
The spring gushes out of a 75-foot
mineralized zone carrying gold
values ranging up to S4.40 per ton.
The vein trends north-south, and
has a band of metamorphOsed lime
resting on ancient gneisses for q
foot wall and a dirite intrusive for
a hanging wall.
Many families have been taking
the treatment every season, renting
cottages from the Smuggiers COM
pany. and at present about a dozen
persons are taking the treatment,
with excellent results for different
ailments.
Some people who have tried the
water, claim that it is a natural
Keely Gold Cure, and it has shown
results in clearing the system of
the effect of overindulgence and
only needs to be tried to prove its
effectiveness.
The Sntuggler Co. is having
analysis made of the spring water
and the results will be given to the
Mining & Oil Journal when received.
Should the analysis show expected
results, a plan is now under con-
sideration for the construction OF a
permanent Health Spa, with proper
Medical supervision, and all modern
comforts in place. of the present
crude cabins and cottages.
The Smuggler property is being
re-conditioned, the power pipe line.
Hydro-electric power plant and mill
are all being put in shape for OPP
GRAFTON, and gold production should
be resumed before the snow flies.
A Portland concern has taken a
lease on the gold tails dumps, esti-
mated to contain over 10000 tons,
carrying commercial gold values,
and a cyanide plant will soon be
installed, to recover the values lost
in former milling operations. The
tail dumps are estimated to contain
S17O.O0O.OO in recoverable gold.

PROSPECTOR and
HIS GOLD DUST
ARE soon PARTED

TOWNSEND Rickert, pros
pector on Indian creek, came to
town with the gold dust he had
accumulated during the summer
season, carried in two bottles. He
fell in with a couple of strangers

gold to buy another bottle. Then
he lost track of the party and
awoke to find all of his gold dust
gone. The friends" had sold the
gold to local jeweler for $50 and
when the marshal caught up with
them they had hut IS left. This
was given to Rickert who was sent
back to Indian creek to do some
more digging.

Thru the crucible of toll and faith
the promoter has brought yellow
gold from the heart of the noun
tains, viscous oil from the bowels
Of the earth, and powerful and IL
luminative electricity from the
balmy air. He has sent screaming
aircraft with Hon-hearted birdmen
heavenward into space and across
the turbulent water of many seas.
Promotion converted a sinful
world to a Christian religion and
spread the helpful teachings of the
golden rule to all the people of the
earth.
The promotion of a nation placed
the gold leaf on the capitol dome
at washington and arrayed our
country in the glorified raiment OF
world supremacy. Promotion rear
ed the tower of the Empire State
Building a thousand feet skyward
and strung the cables and Orders
of the Brooklyn Bridge across the
waters of the bay.
Promotion converted crude ore
into diamonds and gold and devel-
oped the raiment of humanity from
figleaf to sealskin. 1t supplanted
the stone ak with the electric drill
and it smothered the feeble illum-
ination of the torch and candle
with the sun-like rays of the in
The Panama Canal, under the pro-
motional wizardry of Theodore

hood of nations.
Invention is the father of dis
covery, but promotion is the mother
OF realization. 1t was the fertile
brain of the inventor that conceived
the telegraph, telephone, automo-
bile, diesel, zeppelin, radio and a
thousand other things useful to
but it was the money
centering ability OF the promoter
that brought them to realization
and utility. OF what use is the
knowledge of oil or gold buried
in the earth without the centrali-
cation Of capital to bring them out
and distribute their worth to need
full humanity? One single gold
mining enterprise in the United
States has paid its stockholders a.
round 100000, 900, yet its CAPT
talization was started by a lion
hearted promoter with thin dollar
In his pocket and faith in his heart.
The invasion of new fields by the
promoter has been the
and Industrial salvation
Of nations. Follow the promoter
You will know him by his faith,

Such wells are known as 'stripper"

turned to the doorkeeper. HAS Charley been
in tonight" he inquired.
The man stared stupidly.
Don't know who you mean, boss"
We passed on.
Above us stretched the satin tent of
tropical night, torn in million places where
stars shone through. Trevvy paused, looking
about him. Counties comedies and tragedies
are being enacted about us, he declared, but
tonight we have one chief objective
Charley"
Surely it would save lot of bother just
to inquire at selected places. Why waste our
time going in?'
I'VE also seek truck driver"
"A truck driver?"
You remember him? The fellow to whom
Master Oslo was talking at Gatun.'
What leads you to suppose that we shall
find him in any of these haunts::"
The little god was kind to me tonight,
Digger. The fragment of telephone conversa
ton which overheard led me to believe, in
the first place. that the speaker known as
Charley is an Asiatic. In the second place (you
see, l had missed part) l gathered that an
earlier conversation had been interrupted at
Gatm -"
II begin to understand"
"Of course! This is where the truck driver
comes in Apart from the fact that Oslo was
instructed to meet Charley at the usual place
Immediately, l learned little more. As don't
know one but do know the other, am inquir
ing for Charley and looking out for the truck
driver"
The usual place may not be one of the
night haunts at which you have inquired.
Has Charley been in 1t is probably an
office or private house"
MY dear Digger!" Trevvy tapped me on
the shoulder. why be so pessimistic? Oslo
was told to wait if the show is on (those were
the words or the restaurant is crowded"
We were walking slowly along street
notable for number of Chinese restaurants.
Trevvy was glancing from side to side. Before
an illuminated sign which said: The Hundred
Palm Shoots, and which bore the same words
in Chinese green lettering, he pulled up.

undressed and put on light lounge suit.
Trevvy called for me just as had completed
the transformation, and we set out for an
unknown destination. The restless spirit of
Trevvy's Gascon ancestor was alive in him.
Anything might happen on a night like this.
Trevvy's oldest lounge suit retained the dis
tinction of Saville Row, and soft-brimmed
hat merely accentuated his resemblance to
that NJ. De Treville who commanded the
bodyguard of Louis XIII.
Our first visit was to house of entertain
ment described as Bar, of which the chief
attraction seemed to be an all-in wrestling
match between two gigantic Negro women.
The battle was greeted with roars of laughter
from mixed company amongst which l saw

This looks promising" he murmured softly.
We entered sort of small cafe, on one
side of which was a counter set out with
Chinese delicacies. There was center space.

finished, assuming this to be the usual
place." 1t was individualized by an odor of
spice with which mingled Bombay duck.
A bead curtain hung in an opening at the
further end. There was lighted room beyond.
Trevvy made for table adjoining the opening
and we sat down. A waiter - his face less
expressive than Benda mask - came to take
our order.
Trevvy ordered tea. When it was brought
on lacquer tray, with the tiny, fragile cups:
us Charley here tonight" he inquired.
Mr. Chez inside, the waiter answered.
As he vanished somewhere behind the
counter, De Treville glanced at me- Charley
Chez" he murmured. 1T would not be too
fantastic to suspect Charley Chez of being the

Trevvy slipped his tea for awhile, seeming to
be listening. A mutter of conversation was dis

curtain. followed. None of the customers
paid the slightest attention to our movements.

It was Valentine Oslo!
For few seconds Trevvy watched, and
then quietly returned to his chair.
Dispose of the tea as quickly as possible"
he said. This is where we disappear"
As he paid the waiter, you see Mr.. Chee?"
that individual chanted.

1t began within few hours after he and
his Journalist friend. digger" had reached
the Canal Zone, sightseeing. In a cafe
"Trerry," pretending to be an old friend of
her family, rescued pretty American girl.
Paddy Coburn, from the too-pressing atten-
tions of a foreigner named Valentine Oslo
Oslo was business acquaintance of Paddy's
father, millionaire engineer. Although she
was engaged to Gary Neal, naval officer,
Oslo obviously had his eye on her and her
money. The dislike of Trevvy and Digger for
Oslo changed to active suspicion that he
might be in Panama primarily for another, far
more sinister purpose, when Digger picked up
slip of paper which had dropped from Oslo's
cigarette case, and read this message:
Fermentation of area over 20 feet remains
II feet deep. No progress since last re-
port. Fresh supplies must be received
Immediately. G. c."
On the following day Paddy and her parents
trip with him through Gatun Lake, and Mr..
Coburn, again at Oslo's request, obtained per-
mission for the party to visit areas near the
dam usually forbidden to sightseers. To Oslos
obvious displeasure, Trevvy and Digger were
invited on the trip. Paddy also planned visit
to the laboratory and private ZOO of certain
DR.. Garcia, local eccentric of whom she had
heard, who had made collection of little
known insects and reptiles of the tropical
country bordering the Zone.
Two incidents occurred during the launch
trip which made Trevvy very thoughtful.
First he noticed that at one point Oslo deliber-
ately faxed an excuse to leave the party and
hold whispered conversation with truck
driver near one of the forts. Secondly, Oslo
accidentally" dropped overheard, near the
dam, lunch basket which he said contained
champagne packed in ice. Trevvy suspected
that the whole trip had been planned just in
order to drop the basket overheard.
