T e l e p h o n e , 1 6 0 - W CATCH THE DRIFT Everybody who reads magazines buys new s papers, but everybody who reads newspapers doesn't buy magazines To reach the people of this community IRE'S THE MEDIUM longest chances. I dropped into W illiams, Arizona, for a few days, and looking for story stuff I mixed, or tried to, with the mining and railroad men. A fter the second day there were obvious indica tion that something was wrong with my mixer, and all I could get out of anyone was simply a civil word, when I could get one to stand long enough to answer. The next day the hotel porter tipped off to me why the boys were giving me the shivers. I was a Santa Fe railroad spotter, and if there is ever a job and a man held in contempt by the sporting men and railroaders it is the spotter. I got next to a newspaperman, who put me rig h t—after which the wind (flowed from the south again. But the gold brick gam es: The hotel ooe night was crowded. A woman and two children came in. There was was no room for them. I was talking with a telegraph operator over the tip of nay being a spotter. He asked if he m ight share my bed and give his room to the lady. And s itting up long past the mid night hour he told me stories of the fake mining deals he had seen worked and had helped to steer. One of the most successful, but now an old one was t h i s : Some prospector, pretty well known, would rig up for a three months’ trip in the hills, and the night before leav ing be would make the rounds of the saloon# and sporting places and adver tise he was off for the summer. In a week he would be back, and would give some weak excuse that he was taken sick, horse went lame, etc. He would s it around the saloons, re fusing to drink, look wise, and refuse to talk about his trip. Then he would send a telegram to a “ fram e \ partner in Colorado about like t h i s : B ill:— Struck it thick. Cut everything and come. Bring some kale. Alfal fa for us. Answer. Sdm. And here was where the operator came in for his part of the gam e—and a rakeoff if it went through. He goes to one of the men already spotted and gives him a copy of the message, with the understanding that it |it should work out he is to get $100 for the Western Union leak. The speculator falls for it. He hunts up Sam. He proposes to grub stake an outfit and both go out for a hunt. Nothing doing. He tries to draw Sam out, and finally gets him to take a drink. Another follows, and Sam loosens a little and drops m yster ious hints. Mare booze and tongues wag and finally when the \confidence” stage of the jag comes, Sam tells his friend he has found a mine of great richness, and as soon aa hia partner comes with a little coin he will file the claim and open it. The speculator offers to advance a little money. Nothing doing. He offers to buy a half interest if the prospect looks good, but Sam simply won’t listen. He hss found a prize and Bill and he are going to keep it. Things run aleng for a few days, then a wire comes—Bill has married, bought n ranch and has all the gold mine he wants in Colorado. This telegram is given to the epecu- Sam has the blues for a day or two. Refuses to drink or talk and writes many letters in the rear room of the saloen. Then the speculator butts in again. He wants to see.the \ s t r i k e \ and if it pans he will buy a half interest. Now when Sam was on his week in the hills he went to an abandoned prospect hole, took with him a sack of rich ore and planted it, then loaded the filings of two or three gold rings into cartridges, which he s h o t into the hole and into the roQks This method of \saltin g ” has separated many a man from his coin. \1 searched for an hour, and cut nearly all the brush in the ravine, but could not find the ring, but by chance I saw a brown, soft rock sticking out. I broke it with the ax and though not a miner it looked like rich ore I had seen. It was soft, like sandstone, and almost a black-brown in color. I filled my hat with it, carried it to the mine bunk house, pulverized it, and before the sand had been half worked out I saw the “ c o lor\ and knew I had \struck i t . \ “ Investigation showed a ledge and contact. I have already taken out several orange groves in southern Cal ifornia and I guess there are plenty more ranches in the m ine.\ And how’s that for a \luck story?\ He said he never found the ring, and never wants to. The lure of the weird old southwest draws all kinds of people, but one of the most singular instances I found up in the lonesome Navajo country, 60 miles from a railroad. A tire blew out and while the driver and his boy were repairing it I walked on up to the head of the canyon, and a little back from the road I saw three large new tents—a strange sight in that country. Soon a young fellow walked out to where I was s itting and we were soon getting acquainted. He was from Co lumbus, O., a man well educated, well bred and he had a diamond ring on his finger as large as a pea. He was entirely alone and had under the tents a stock of general m erchan dise. He told me that through his congressman and the Interior D e p a rt ment he had been granted a perm it to open an Indian trading store on the reservation, but a fter he had purchased hia stock, some complaint was made, he did not know just what, and the perm it had been held up. He had stored his goods under the tents and was waiting. He had been there three months and had no idea how much longer he might have to stay before he could build his store. And in the meantime he could not even sell package of tobacco. The stock of goods had cost* him $1,000 and the store buliding, the lumber for which he had ordered would cost $800 more. And I wondered why a young man with $2,000 at least, a man of refine ment, would ever conceive the idea of burying himself in this lonesomeet spot in Arizona, and live a life so foreign to his raising. No doubt there was a reason, but he did not tell it. There are many bright men in the southwest who do not tell why they are there—that is do not tell the truth. An accident in a coal mine just out side of Gallup, N. M., a few weeks ago brought to light a glimpse of one of life’s secrets. Falling walla caught a dozen men and when they were res cued they were badly mangled. A tool dresser who worked in the smith shop took hold with the twodcc- tors, set broken limbs, helped amputate and wrote out preacriptiona. He was at once recognized as a medical school graduate by the physicians, but he would not answer any questions or make any explanations. The next day the mine manager offered him the po sition aa mine phyaician, but he de clined. There are many out e f place men and women in the southwest. Some of their stories would be stranger than fiction. But this class don’t tell stories. M. J. Brown.
