"Naw," growled Haggerty, with

"Oh, surely those other mines are

- "Then, by the mass, I'll quit the

And yet Wallace hated to leave
Deep Gulch. lie had come here with
the first of them and bad insisted
through columns and colnmns of
tended type that this was the real
1 Dorado. He bad bolievod it bfm-
relf. Editors must be optimists, of
necessity. Brill he would not bo the ;

on his Washington presn how ha

While -lie and nasrrerty were !

him civilly. Haggerty would have
called it cordially.

One by one the houses some of
lumljer, some of canvas, some of
both ' matorials combined folded
thoir wings and withdrew bodily.
The street became more and more

industry which had no earthly ex

. ."Good story, that gun fight yop
described," grinnctl Haggerty, as he
rattled tho untruthful types into his
fctick.
Wallace thanked him.
"Wight report a lawsuit." "
"Good thing!" exclaimed the ed
itor and wrote half a column nljout
the crowds at the courtroom and the
cheers when the recused woman
wa acquitted. Then ho grew boast
ful in the declaration thut the Ma

still fiom the Eclipse, these Were
ve grant items scattered through the
pages.. . t,
. Wallace "made cp'Vand pnt the
forms on tho prew. Haggerty "roll
cd" for him, and they printed four
coirioe two for the secretary of the
Empire Mining company in hew
York, one for a foreign advertiser
and one for the nice.
That was the cit nt of the isue,
and when they bad "worked it off"
Haggerty washed the type with
concentrated lyo aid threw it in
Thero wa no po-'tofBee hi Deep
Golch. It had ranibl with the
vaniKhing bafincM. Tbre was not
sinslo reidlpnt IswiJe these two
men and a half breed who slept in
the double house next door and
hunted for a living. Every week
Wallace walked the ten miles to
Jimtown, mailed tbe throe copies of
his papc r. laying full rates to keep
the efvrt-t, received his cbct-k at tbe
IKMttofnce, cashed it, Imughtsnrpplie
for him-clf end Haggerty and then
walked hot no again. He ned to nay
grimly it was an excellent time to
gather items.
And every week tbe secretary of
that Emire illning cnniuny ojen-
ed the pnpiia
ia h:s office at Icvr
.. t. - .
York, destroyed the wrappers and
snowed bin mends now tne mine
was booming. " .
Along toward spring Wallace saw
from the letters accompanying bis
remittances that the secretary had
about "unloaded,' and he made ar
rangements to pull out as soon as
bis contract wna ended. Haggerty
wanted him to throw it up and fol
low the star of empire, but the ed
itor was too honest a man. Besides,
the business was paying. " 2 .
One day thoy saw a man prospect-
, ing up at the mouth of the abari
doned Ti'oiley miner-Presently he
came down and entered the office.
"First to come and last to leave,
eh?" be remarked, laughing, as he
regarded the material with on ex
pert eye.
"Well, last to leave anyway,"
said Wallace, not very proudly.
"Been prospecting?"
"Yes. I rather like the looks of
things up there ou the hill."
"Lots of gold been taken out of
there."
"Lots moro to take out yot," re
joined tho stranger.
It was not for Tho Courier to cont
tradict that statement. The stanger
toyed with the standing type in
that easy way that provos acquaint
ance, y .
"Haven't much usofor a paper
hero, have you?'.' he asked.
"No. I would sell."
' What will you tako "
"What'll you give?"
He made nn offer, and Wallace
traded, possession to be riven tho
- List - ef - ilarelk Af terhe had
been signed tho stranger went over
to Jnntown -and got the money.
Wallace and Haggerty both thought
they were in a dream. Tho strunger
hung around that Trolley claim,
digging, washing, cutting timbers.
One day ho came down with some
specimens and showed them. Wal
lace had become something of an ;
expert" He knew they held gold. I
He regretted selling, but ho went ,
away with tho end of winter and j
drifted up to Boko City, whore ho !
put his money in the Miners' bank j
and took caBea on The Herald. j
Haggerty put what money he
could raise in the faro banks and
"subbed" on an afternoon paper.
One day in August Wallace saw a
man in tho restaurant with a copy
of Tho Courier in his pocket Now,

folded with the title out, may ask
any one poKsessing it to surrender, i
though it lo the uugcl Gabriel. And
this was not. This was a very uc-;

fc-llow, who was glad lo form a new
acquaintance-
"80 you usod to run Tho Courier?"
he asked after they had taken a
drink together. "Yvell, I run it
now. " "
"Oh, you bought it of"
"No. He bought it for me. You
see, I was on the inside. I knew
there was gold in tho Trolley and

fifteenth time, parting solemnly.
Four days Haggerty and Wallaoe
climbed up hills for the monotonous
pleasure of climbing down again.
Four nights they rolled themselves
in dusty blankets and slept the sleep
of the hopefuL Hour after hour
they hammered the stubborn little
burros, but could not make thorn
trot; met Indian squaws riding
a straddle on dejected ponies; forded
streams whero the current was swift
and treacherous, and then they
camo at sundown to the crossing of
Sage run. - : ,
"Seems to me we ought to soe
the lights of the city, "said Hagger
ty. v
"Well, ho said the main street
runs Up the hill, Instead of across,
you know, " was Wallace's reply.
They cropt along the bank, but
the burros would not take to tho
water iu tho darkness. So thoy roll
ed themselves in their blankets for
a final camp and sworo they would
eat breakfast at the best hotel in
tho morning.
When the coyotes barked, just be
fore daybreak, Haggerty arose and
climbed a height that towered above
Sage run and dominated the whole

As ho roached tho summit he flash

on the btonex Ho recovered and
looked again.
There wes no stamp milL There
was no store. There was not even a
saloon from Sage run to the vory
apex of Honeycomb rock. The dou
ble house had vanishod, and the
shanty which sheltered tho printing
ofilco in old days was all that was
loft of the metropolis.

Another peculiarity of this thea
ter (at Tboriko.-i) was found to lw
tho entire absence of n stage. B

feet from tho lower slope of the hill

CONVENIENT HOG TROUGH.
It Prewits Cllinblna; Into the Teed mmd
Has Other Adrantacesr ;
The cuKtomary V shnpod hog trough
is probably the most practical, cheapest
and coxiest made device for the purpose,
and with a few changes con be mode
mach more convenient than the narrow
little spout which we mid oa many

farms. Oao of tbeso improved tronght
was recently illustrated and described
hi Farm and Firesido.
Iu the first cat is shown a trough
t made of two 2 inch oak planks." The
one on the aide from which the hogs
feed is 8 inches inches wide and the
other anywhere from IS inches upward
the wider the better. The end pieces
are also 8 inch plunk, and to fit the
whole trongh tightly between tho sides
of the pen, tint wide plank should . be.
notched so that the upper part is jnst
even with the outside of the end pieces,
see a, a. A wide board is Tautened by
means of a couple cf cleats, b, b, tacked
the sines of tha peu in a slanting po
sition, as shown in the cat. In a large
pen it would be better to nse a 2 inch
i plonk for the latter.
The advantages of snch a trongh are
these: The narrow spent is bore changed
into an opening the whole longtU of the
trongh, enabling the feeder to scatter
the feed to accommodate any number of
hogs. This is especially convenient
when feeding apples, potatoes, com or
any other kind of grain. It prevents all
fighting, poshing and Jamming to see
which can got nearest to tho spout when
being f ed.
The slanting board, e, prevents hogs
from climbing into the troagh, and
while it does not interfero "or infringe
npon the iwce of tho pen, it makes the
feeding alley
roomier, , which
is qoite an item
in a building of
limited size. In
emptying tbo
pail this sluut is
a great udvan-
taire, -it -allows
cnoss suction oir tho pnil tn lx,
Titoion. turned almost
l.ortom side tip, an rim be seen by the
cross section shown iu tbo spr-ond cat.
Tho tronnh itself is all tlist is needed
for a partition. It eau to easily moved
iu cither direction, and a uail or two
driven tlifmigh each side of the peu into
tho end pieces will hold it B"curcly iu
its phiofl wherever it is desired.
Another important point uLtml a hog

Establishment of a Cranberry Bog-
berrios as a Money Crop. , -
The establishment of a cranberry bog
requires time, cxpenso and patience, :
bat ones in good form there is little
outlay in keeping it in condition. A
moist Soil is nooossary. ' -i Experience has
proved a peat or mack soil, free from
loom or clay, is required, clean sand for
covering the peat , and arrangommiM
whereby the vines can be flmvod wheu
uccessary, and finally thorough drainage.
In the colder part of the country the
vines am flooded in winter to' protect
thorn from frost, the nsual 1 time being
from lats October to tho 1st of May, 18
lb 24 iuc-hes of water being considered
snflicinnt, according to The Orange Jadd '
Farmer, authority for the following:
In ptcparing swamplands bashes and
tamps mnst be removed and the surface
coated with 4 (o 8 inches of sand. Wben
properly drained and ditchod, the land
is ready for tho vines. The sand is es
sential iu order to choke the growth of
wood and grass. Clay and loamy sand
should be avoided. On soils thus pre
pared the best method of planting vines
is to place them in rows marked out 14
inches apart, two vines at each point,
14 inches sport in the rows. The plants'
irn nrcawvl into tha flfnnnd with tun
roots close, to the muck below. Another .
method sometimes cniploynd in Jersey
is to spread tho vines evenly over the
surface of tho niecdow, cover a boot an :
inch deep with sand, the young shoots
Uttor coming up as thick as wheat and
making an excellent growth, gomo sue- -wed
by sowing cuttings, the viae be
ing pwscd Ihrongh a straw carter aud
chopped into pieces about an inch long.
Tiicso are sown early in spring . and on
prcnurcd gnruild and burrowed in. Mach
attention nmst be givcu to dmiuagc,
and this goes far to make or mar4he
wotk, ;f
Onuibcrrics are giitlicml in Bcptem
ber and Ootobcr and will ordinarily
kctp well in places suituble for storing -apples
or other fruit, with as Urr m
teniperuluro as possible to avoid frenc
ing. Thorough ventilation isvcryeeen- .
tiaL A sncoesaful Cupe Cod grower, in', '
