THE LOST PINE MINE. Lteutenant Sydznham {n Detrost Free Press. 1 have just received a letter from my agent offering me a safo investment—a pool thousand if 1 buy and sell within a month~—twenty shares of the *‘Lost Pine Mining Compang-—Limited.” Mines are risky investments at best. Millions are made in them every year, but more lost. 1 have never yet been on the winning side. Before writing ‘‘Buy” I shall reflect, ‘What says the prospectus? “Heavy silver bearing lode—surface exposure, 100 feet by 12—vertical, devel- oping side pockets—numerous branches Where is the phenomenon? “Santa Catalina mountains, Pima county, Arizona. Agent B. N. Tucson.” A familiar lecality! 1'll bet that agent a hat I can give him points on the ‘‘Lost Pine mine.” Haven't I trailed that country from Dan to Beersheba in the days gono by? How? Where? When? In the days of my first service—four years between the Gila and the northern Mexican border—1 knew every water Tole and every patch of bunch grass be- tween Nogalgs and the Gila range. It was in the beginning—in the days of fresh commencements—that I made the acquaintance of that mine. It is the eame—the “‘Lost Pine Mine.” It never had a name until the day we met. By me it begaa to wear the dignity of a name. By it 1 bogan to get knowledgo and understanding of mines. We are old friends. Today it is a certainty of the business world. Surely out of the beginning groweth the end. That mine has prospered from the start. And this is the history of the begin- ning. Less than a year crevlnusly I had run the gauntlet of the terribly learncd medical examining board of the army and had been admitted to the rank and dignity of first lieutenant and assistant surgeon, When I placed my first order for uniforms with Hatfield, and ran up a Dill for trimmings with Ridabock, I felt more valuable than a ton of 24-carat gold and more dignified tban a Hindoo god with a diamond eye. 1 was a star of tho first magnitude. If an ac- quaintance failed to congratulate me upon these hard won honors I put his omission down to malice, and cut him off my list. Outof twenty-two aspirants [ had been the only one accepted by the { The only one who possessed the requisite learning and ability—I thought. Theonly one who happened o know just what the board happened to ask—itafterward appeared. 1 thought myself an unusually gifted scholar, cer- tain to add wonders to medical science in the army. Every one else thought I was an ass. But that was in the days of bursting shells and pinfeathers. My first orders lifted me away from scenes _of intellectual triumphs ~and dropped me into those of physical fail- ures—with a cavalry battalion in the cactus beds near the Mexican line, somewhere south of Tombstone. The drop was flattening. From Central purk, a silk hat, tan kids and white gaiters, to the heart of an alkali desert, the back of a quartermaster’s mule and the nightly shelter of a saddle blanket. A month before I would have fainted at the sight of myself. “Trousers, mounted, made heavy—boots, heavy. hand sewed—hat, campaign, drab,” was the description the salient points of my field uniform bore on the quartermaster’s returns. The ensuing grief shook the scales from my eyes. & It-was necessary for mo to learn some- thing without delay, and in Arizona in- formation is not acquired without pov- erty and earnest purpose, two things I know not of. Urged by the sustaining spur of good resolutions I rose betimes, and cinching my mule by the light of the morning sun, rode forth into the cha- parral to slay bush rabbits with my six- shooter and flatter the vanity of the ranchmen by asking questions. They taught me to follow a moccasin trail, throw a lasso, and make the diamond hitch over the back of a fractious mule. There was little I could teach them, for the sturdy fellows rarely fell ill with a more serious ailment than delirium tre- mens. : The novelty of their habits and man- ners, and a desire to acquire the my: teries of plainscraft, were the attractions which drew me to them at first, but as their better acquaintance with me ren- dered them more approachable I discov- ered a rugged honesty and sincere hos- Enaliv.y, which, added to reckless ravado, gave their ways an irresistable charm. Isought their friendship, and went among them whenever it was possi- ble to leave camp, It happened that during the annual beef ‘‘round up” I rodeover and passed the night with my acquaintances, The following morning there occurred in the camp what the New York Herald would headline as ‘‘Murder--Deliberate Assas- sination—The Shooting of a Mexican by Cowboys.” The Tombstono Blade re- ferred incidentally to the affair as a “heated altercation between Messrs. Q. and R. of the X-Bar Cattle company, and & Mexican named Manrico, which re- sulted fatally to the latter,” Being law abiding citizens Messrs, Q. and R. delivered themselves over to the sheriff for trial. I was named as a wit- ness for the defense and served with summons to appear in court the follow- ing day to give my testimony. The accused, the other witnesses for the defense—there were none for the prosecution—and myself rodg over next morning, reaching the low adobe build- ing which served as county court house about noon. We found the judge seated behind his pino slab table in his shirt sleeves with his feet on a copy of Walker's “‘American Law,” engaged in arget practice, the bull's eye being a retired herring box partially filled with sawdust that stood in one corner of the room. After several minutes of silent rumination he would launch the results with unerring certainty at the herring box. The aim of life in Arizona is to hit something. The clerk of the court was there, also the .attorney for the prosecution. All wore six-shooters and the judge had a ‘Winchester rifle standing handy for the c‘v\mumm-nt of contempts of court, hen a few of the jury bad assemtled we took seats, Tho judge smote the herring box again, rapped with his heel on the table and opened the trial, *This yer court's in session. Perceed, Mr. Attorney.” The prosecution arose and stated apologetically that he had no witnesses 10 examine, as the complainant had named none, being deceased, for which good reason all of the evidence must be adduced from the witnesses on the part of the defense. Mr. Q. otherwise known as Pecos Bill, conducted his own defense. By the time I reached the stand the-absent members of the jury had arrived. All wore one or mare six- shooters, In New York the courts do not sit in weapons. Not being informed of the Arizons custom I had left all of mine at the camp. It was evident that the Jury regarded me with a contempt which deepened into disgust when the evidence I gave apveared to favor the prosecu- tion. 1had seen the Mexican shot in the back, which fact would lead to the » _“round up.” necessary conclusion that the shooter was behind him. 1 made that statement and there was a chorus of groans from the jury. Pecos Bill rose scornfully, and plant- ing his right foot firmly, turned his body g0 as to place his left back where his right breast had been. “There,” said he, “‘don’t you see how a man standing in front of me could shoot and hit me inthe back?” 1 had to confess the feat was possible. Pecos Bill triumphantly resumed his seat and turned upon me & look of pity, which meant thatTwas “‘a deal greener” than he ever supposed. The jury re- marked facotiously among themselves that nobody but a freak or a lunatic ever traveled without a ‘“gun.” The judge suggested that possibly I was “icon compis mentis.” It was evident that Pecos Bill had friends in that jury with whom 1 was unacquainted. wnto whom it would have 10 bo pretty. clear that my prejudicial evidence had not been given with malico propense before it would be safe to meet them out of court. I wished more than ever I had stayed in my tent and read novels before going near that cursed “*Mr. Potter of Texas” at the third reading was preferable to a murder trial in Arizona without a gun. Shakespeare wrote, ‘“Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just.” Shake- speare had never been in Arizona. However, in due conrse of law the case was concluded and the jury dis- chargeds They lost no time in return- ing a verdict of justifiable homicide. Pecos Bill celebrated his release from custody by leading the crowd, iudge, bar and jury over to the licensed liquor house presided over by one Honest Organ, a retired Methodist minister, noted as being the reatest single handed liar in the territory—and there we Wrigated. After many assurances that my mistake had been misinter- preted, and that there was no i1l will, T was permitted to mount anl set out for camp. Even my mule trotted out briskly with the joy of getting away. Fancy, oh, gentle rider of Central park, with your smoothly galloping chestnut bay and your Whitman saddle —and you, fearless, rough rider of the Rosetree hunt, chasing foxes for pleas- ure—how you would fecl mounted on the back of a string-halt quartermaster's mule in a desert of chaparral, with thirty miles and sundown, and heaven only knows what else, between you and supper! There are moments when the problems of equitation present no in- spiring features. My progress that af- ternoon was blighted by such moments. Alone in Arizona without a ‘‘gun,” not knowing how mnn{ offended_ citizens abroad in the neighborhood! Better be in midocean without a rudder. As1 jogged along, watching the red- dening sun drop lower in the heavens, the silence and loneliness became op- pressive. Every bush rabbit that crossed the trail gave me a start. The possi- bilities of the desert multiplied in my mind, Any wayfaring desperado I met could lay me low and drag my body out among the bushes, where the coyotes would prepare mY bones for later dis- covery, and, the label, in some dime museum, “Traveler overcome with thirst in the desert.” Geromimo's entire band might be sojourning on that very trail between me and the camp! An elegant evening's entertainment I would furnish them! Toward sunset I approached a deep coulee that crossed the trail. Looking ahead into the gathering dusk I saw two ponies lariated among the mesquite ushes. The saddles appeared to be of the Indian pattern, but there were no riders anywhere in sight. My first thought was to put about and retreat, but that was useless, for either pony was a far better mount than my mule. It would be wiser to keep straight ahead on the trail and trust to finding “friend- legs”—White mountains or Pimas. As I approached the ponies a tall white man sauntcred out of the .bushes and planted himself squarely in my path. He wore the wide-rimmed hat, dirty blue overalls and greasy buckskin shirt of a miner, and most prominently a scraggy, sandy beard,” which, after radiating in all directions from his head, fell halfway to his waist. He con- cluded the movement by thrusting the butt of his Winchester riflo between his toes and holding up his left hand. Pause, stranger,”he said quietly. Pausing was right in my line. I wouldn’t have refused his request for half the territory in fee-simple. I paused and said, “Good evening.” “Light,” he said. Ilit. Without altering his position he looked me over from head to foot. Then turning his beady eyes fall into mine and wrinkling his shaggy eyebows, he inquired: “You air that medico from the soldier camp? Thought likely you might pass this way.” He turned and beckoned me to follow him into the chaparral. I answered, ‘‘Yes,” and walked after him, feeling like a doomed convict on his way to the cart. Surely the hour had come. We entered the open space, in the center of which was the figure of a man reclining upon a blanket. “Pard,” said my captor, addressing the figure, ‘I have brought you the medico.” Then turning to me he added, “‘Pard an’' me hed a diepute about who owned the mine, an’ I winged pard.” Joy of the thought! My professional skill was required. 'The other fellow was to be the victim, not me. I might leave my revolver behind, but my pocket surgical case, never. “What can I do for you, my friend?” I asked, bending over him, The right arm was bound up with a red bandana hand- kerchief, and the blood was cozing out. “You might patch up that hole Tonto bored in me,” he answered, feebly, ‘‘He got to rarin’ roun’ here like hell beatin’ tan bark, all out of my claimin’the mine. ‘When he swore he would never let me own that mine alive it riled me, an’ I war goin’ to make medicine weth him, but Tonto air double-geared—easy, doe, it air very techy—double-geared light- enin’ on pullin’ trigger, an’ he winged me 'fore I could git my gun levil. I reckin the mine's his.” *'Which will teach ye hereafter to re- s{)ect the wishes of an’ honest pardner,” | Obs erved the master of the situation, sententiously. ‘It air a ticklish thing to shoota man's ole pardner,” continued the afllicted, as 1 went on with my surgery. ‘‘Me an’ Tonto's been prospectin’ together for nigh five year wothout onct fallin’ out. 1 finds & mine an’ digs till I thinks it ain't no use diggin’ no more, an’ gives up, ad- visin' Tonto to dothe same an’ pull stakes an’ move further up the creek. Tonto won't leave it, digs deeper an'deeper an’ strikes ore. Thet's th' he thinks he orter hev that mine o’ mine, jest as if he finds it himself. It 'pearsto me it makes no difference who works in a mine—the man ez finds, it owns it. How do it 'pear to you, doc?” n acountry where wen]l)on- only carry weight I preferred to defer my opinion. “That depends,” 1 answered. **You see, doe,” he went on, holding out his arm while'I bound iv up, I finds that mine twict. When we first struck her there war & tall pine tree standin’ up on the edge %Lha guleh right over the lead, an’ it wa'n't no trouble to find the mine by thet pine tree. But while we war gone down to Tombstone to git grnh the wind blew thet tree clean out y the roofs, and it wur the devil's own game to find the place again. Thet's how we eome to call it the ‘Lost Pine THE OMAHA DAILY BEE Mine.' I elumb up out of the gulch an' walked along till 1 struck thet tree lyin’ flat on the mesa, an’ thet's how I found it ag'in.” The bullet from Tonto's revolver had rn-ned through the fleshy part of the orearm without striking any bones. I washed the wound with the water re- maining in my canteen and bound it up in my own handkerchief, tying the old one around it. Without bandages and antiseptics that was the best that could be done, ““You will have to go to the cam me,"” Isaid, “I can do no more here.” The stately and silent Tonto inter- posed. ‘“Walt till we hev done weth the mine, medico,” he observed in measured tones, I am no. pard to a man ez doesn't respect my rights. Thet mine wouldn't never hev bin found ef it hedn't bin fur me, an’ ef pard sez thet mine's his he lays here till he rots for all the good Tonto Bill ’Il be to him agin. 1 don't shoot no man an' make up weth him onless there's prospect of his comin’' to reason. Ef pard says the mine’s mine I'm willin’ to stick weth him till the crack o' doom an’' we'll work it together. There ain't no use in a man's being onreasonable. What say, pard?” 1 think ye hold anaco full, Tonto, Tain't no man to dispute the rights of my ole pardner.” Why don't you sell out your in- terest?” 1 suggested. ‘“That “will be more like business.” ‘“‘Sell my interest! Ibe durned. How much'll you give, Tonto?” ‘‘Dollar an’ a drink of whisky,” chuckled Tonto out of his beard. “Whar's the whisky?” “Plenty at Honest Organ's. Here's the dollar.” “Goin’, guln’, pone! Sold to Tonto Bill fur a dollur an’ a drink of whisky— all my interest in the Lost Pine mine— me, Ephraim Carter, known to most peo- ple oz Prospect Pete—so hel]) me Bob! ow air you satisfied, Tonto?” “Ez fur ez it goes,” answered Tonto, sitting cross-legged and drawing from his pocket a dirty yellow envelope, ‘‘but I think we'll put the deal in writin’.” He spread the envelope on his boot top, and wrote painfully with the stub of a pencil: “i eferam carter this day sell & make over to William Johnson all my stock & profits in The lost pine Mine, fur adol- lar & a drink of whisky.” ‘‘Make yer mark, Pete,” said Tonto, passing over the paper. Ephraim Car- ter took the pencil in his left hand and made a cross under the writing. “What do it say, doc?” he asked. I read the writing. “‘Now, medico, ye kin spread yer fist on thet document by way of witnessin’ the proceedin’.” Tonto gave me the en- velope, and I wrote my name. Then he folded it carefully and placed it in the inside pocket of his shirt. Leaning over he grasped Pete by the left hand. “‘Shake, Pete. Now ye kin bet on Tonto Bill fur yer pard fur better er’ worse, fire an' brimstone an’ blood, fur- eyer. Ye'll work thet mine weth me half an’ half, even up, an’ now she's mine they can’t be no more disoutes.” Prospect Pete gurgled softly, bending over e proferred hand. “‘What a queer way to treat a pard!” he mur- mured in a thin voice. "I said it was dirt cheap, but a mine ain’t nothin’ but dirt nohow till it's worked. An’now ye give me half! Bill, ye war always a brother to me, in spite of my rantanker- ous ways. I'll never dispute ye ag'in. Never. So held me!” His bearded pard helped him to his feet and assisted him tenderly to the bnfik of the pony. “Do ye feel fit?” he asked. ‘‘F'it enough,” answered Pete. The purple twilight deepened into night as we crept slowly along the trail leading to the camp in the foothills. The wounded arm forbade a gait faster than a walk. The partnersof the ‘‘Lost Pine mine” were absorbed in their own medi- tations. No sound except the far off wail of coyotes and the shufile of the animals’ hoofs on the trail broke, the stillness until the sentinel challenged us at the camp, and there, dismounting my patient at the hospital tent, I placed the arm on the road to recovery. Until today, since the twain jogged out of the camp side by side the morning following our strange meeting, I have not thought of tbe ‘‘Lost Pine mine.” Now it all comes back and I write it as I remember it. The partners never crossed my path again. I witnessed the transfer of a drink of whisky which I can never take oath was transferred. If Honest Organ says it wasn’t I shall know it was. For the sake of the ‘‘pards” and those carly beginnings I shall write to my agent— “Buy.” with or you ————y When Travellog, ‘Whether on pleasure bent, or business, take on every trip a bottle of Syrup of Figs, as it acts most vleasantly and effectively on the kidnoys, liver and bowels, prevents fevers headaches and other forms of sickness For sale in 50c and $1 bottles by all Jeading druggists.

An uptown barber has arranged a unique contrivance by which he is not only enabled to save himself considera- ble annoyance, but also turns the tables on some of his customers who have been guying him at a tremendous rate. Strange as it may seem this barber is tongue-tied, says the Philadelphia Call, Some of his old customers tormented him to such an extent that last week he determined to get even. Right in front of the chairs he has arranged a number of wooden slats. One side is perfectly plain, but when a jolly customer comes in for his shave and tries to work off some of his fun at the expense of the knight of the razor he finds that he's ‘‘not in it.” Here is one of the conversations which occurred Saturday night: ‘‘How do?” asked the customer, he settled back in his chair. Mr. Barber never said a word, but he pulled a string, one of the slats revolved and the word ‘‘Great” stared the ques- tioner in the face. The latter was stumped, and he kept quiet for a while, He eyed the slats and then ventured the query: “How’s trade?"” Another string was pulled and another slat showed the word *‘Tough.” ‘‘Well, that beats me,” said the customer, He was a regular and paid the tonsorial artist once in two weeks, every pay day, and started to leave the shop. 'hen he was tapped on the shoulder, another string was pulled and the admonition, or command, rather, “Pay up,” looked at him. He did so, but he says he won't try to guy that barber any more. ———— There ure tnree Luings worth saving— Time, Trouble and mouney—and De Witt's Little Early Risers will save them for you.

PECULIAR FEATURES OF THE DEALINGS In a Number of Cases Deliveries Were Made by Large Houses So as to Kffect Settlements on Contincts, AT /i ORICAGO, July 1.—Wheat shot up today nearly 3¢ a bushel. Monthly deliveries accom- plished vithout disaster, exeept clearances of 0f 2,000,000 bu. withia three days, backed by the calling together of congress, seemed to restore confidence and give tho market a buoy- ancy of feeling to which 1t had been a stranger for many o week, The great July delivery to- day, notwithstanding the widespread appre- hienslon, passed serenely. The greatest anslety was directed toward wheat and although 7,000,000 bushels or more of the 16,000,000 bushels of contract Wheat was sent around, no one was seen running away from it; In fact the bulk of it landed back Into the same strong hands which sent it forth. That lifted a load from the spirits of the spec- ulators, but there was n prospective vision of the great weight'ot the silyer problem being lifted from the shoulders of a long-suffering business community, which had a far more stimulating effect. The calling of an extra session of congress to conslder the financial situation scemed liko ‘h sonking rain on a parched country. It had an immediatel, reviving effect. \Wheat folt it atonce and opened 1¢ higher for July and 1i4c advance for keptember. ~ That wus only the beginning of a more decided rise, and as_the market was coming to a close, the advance reached 2%¢ for July and 1%c for Septomber, compared with Friduy's closing figures.
