suade each one TO 60 back with
him to his secret mine TO do his
cooking on the promise that he
would reward her with gold.
On the way out, their work as
cooks and serving women over,
Slummock calmly had murdered
each one TO keep her from re-
vealing the location of Lost
Creek Mine.
AS he stood on the gallows at
Okalla Prison, Slummock boasted:
mo man will ever find my mine"
But scores of men tried TO.
They went into the wilderness of
SHOWS, glaciers and icy crevasses,
looking for Slummock's secret
mine, and at least a dozen never
returned TO civilization.
One prospector named Walter
Jackson claimed to have found
it and brought out a fortune in
gold TO prove it. Then he went
20 San Francisco for his health,
and soon died there. He left a
map, supposed TO show the loca-
ton Of Slummock's mine.

ing orgies. This time he bought
an automobile which, when he
left, he gave TO the blonde of his
choice. Again, the police found
the dead body Of a squaw on the
river bank. Slummock denied
all knowledge of the woman or
her death. Since there was no
proof that he was involved the
police were unable TO take any
action against him.
Several years later, Slummock
again visited New Westminster
with a dozen pokefuls of raw
gold. Apparently tired of the
companionship of white women,
he brought with him this time a
harem of four young squaws.
For the third time, the body of
a young squaw was found on the
banks Of the Fraser. In the back
of this victim was a carved,
bone-handled knife, which was
readily identified as belonging to
Slummock, so he was arrested
and convicted of murder.
Seeing that the game was up,
Slummock boosted that he had
killed IL squaws, not all of whom

How Success Con
Make People Sick

- ETTING promoted TO a bet
~ ter Job can be a mighty
~ dangerous thing for some
people. Or at least that Is the
opinion Of DR.. Norris B. Flanagan
Of Boston, who recently COM
pleted a study of the psychology
cal reactions Of people who are
confronted with new response
bilities.
1t is not uncommon. the doctor
reported, for people TO lose
weight, suffer from sleeplessness,
and even become depressed all
because they were pushed UP to
be boss" in the office or plant.
These physical symptoms are
brought on by worry over maxi
ing good.
In a report TO the Journal of
the American Medical Associa-
ton, DR.. Flanagan cited several
cases in which he discovered
people suffering from depression
because they had been promoted
A typical case he cited was
that of man aged 65, consci-
entious and fastidious. who had
been the chief paymaster in a
shipbuilding company for %
years.
In normal tines" the doctor
reported, the company employed
from 500 TO 1000 men but dur
ing the recent period of expan-
sion the number rose TO 5000.
His working hours and RESPONSE
bilities increased, but his staff of
assistants increased proportion
atoly. There had been no COM
plant from his superiors about
his work
HE, however, became de-
pressed and expressed the idea
that the added responsibility
caused his depression. His men,
tai content centered about ideas
Of being inadequate in his work.
His physical symptoms were
anoreXia, insomnia, and moderate
loss of weight. His past history
is relevant in that he had had
similar depression in 1881, when
finally, after many years, he had
been promoted TO chief pay
master"
All the people studied by DR..
Flanagan showed certain COM
mon features--each was over
conscientious. reliable, fastidious
in dress and personal habits, and
took responsibility seriously.
DIR. Flanagan points out that
companies might do well to study
the personalities Of their en-
ployes before dishing out promo
tions for posts involving a good
deal of responsibility.

- TRANCE lights recently have
- been Pickering in the skies
- over the Pitt Lake Noun
tains in the icy wilderness of
northern British Columbia.
The aged Indians of the dis
trict say the weird illumination
is caused by the spirits of the IL
murdered squaws Of Slummock,
a strange Indian killer who dis
posed of the women to protect
the secret of his fabuIously rich
Lost Creek Mine.
Scientists, however, are in
clined TO believe that the lights
are either some electrical phe-
nomenon, or else a phosphores-
cent effect caused by decaying
forests.
Whether the natural or super
natural explanation is correct,
the story of Slummock, his
crimes and his Lost Creek Mine,
where gold could be picked up in
nuggets right off the ground, are
all a part Of the court records Of
British Columbia. Dozens Of men
have since died trying TO find
that lode.
Slummocks a wiry, beady-eyed
young Indian, first showed up in
1902 at New Westminster, Brit
fsh Columbia. He had come
down from the wilderness by raft
on the Fraser River.
He went on a spending spree,
tossing gold nuggets around like
pebbles. The white women of the
underworld helped him spend it
and bought for him the whiskey
he, as an Indian, couldn't buy.
But even under the influence of
the forbidden fireWaterr Sum-
mock would never reveal the
source of his wealth, except TO
say it was from a mine-a pocket
OF soft gold--he had found on
Lost Creek.
After a month of hilarity in
which it was estimated that he
spent about $500 in gold, the
willy redman disappeared.
Slummock repeated this visit
at intervals over the next two
years. One time British Column

the Fraser the body Of squaw.
with several gold nuggets hidden
In her clothing. She was of
Slummock's tribe.
The rich Indian was questioned.
He said she was his squaw who
had cooked for him on his trip
TO his mine. On the way down
river, he declared, she had fallen
from the raft and drowned. TOO

Stocks Finish Week
On Downward Path,
But Selling Eases
BY BERNARD s. O'HARA,

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The stock
market today finished week of
general declines with prices still
pointing downward as peace think
ing continued to dominate opera
tionS of securities owners.
The list was under water Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday and on
Friday, after the Thanksgiving holi-

since November 8. Offerings, how
ever, never were unduly pressing
and there were scattered recoveries
IN the final proceedings. These were
ba-ed on the theory the recent re-
treat had discounted lot of con-
fusion which could affect many
companies with the sudden ending

fict.
Commission house customers be-
gan to shift commitments at the
start of the week on the expectancy
of an imminent Roosevelt Churchill

frightened victory hopes appreciably
and resulted in further sales of

sccels, rails and aircrafts. 1t was
noticeable that, while peace rated
Issues failed to get far ahead, these
were resistant throughout.
Pleasing dividends were helpful
although the usual year-end tax
selling remained as a. moderate
handicap. Carriers especially had
to contend with substantial drop
in october net as compared with
the 1912 month, mounting taxes and
other costs accounting for the dis
crepancy.
Action Of the House In voting
against the administrations subsidy
proposals failed to inspire much in
f1ationary stock buying. The froth
was off the liquor issues as COM
piications in the matter of collect
