Now there is agitation to restore salaries of city employes. The last move is proposed with a desire to fall in step with INK A. It might be well to examine conclusions. The city employes have never been handsomely paid; tut they have been substantially Paid: and the scale at the city hall has been considerably higher than at the court house. No change was made in salary schedules until the de pression was running for several years. The first of this year one ten per cent cut was made. This gives the police force $110 a month and firemen $122.50, which is a living wage in mese nines, mere are wno nave escaped witn as small and for so short a period. Examining the city's financial sheet we find outstand ing warranto of $171,458.ia in tho general and special funds; and local improvement district warrants outstanding of $21,- Unpaid taxes are mounting. 833.33 only a third has been-paid to date, leaviner a balance uncollected of $236,097.30. Delinquent taxes of prior years amount to $163,311.84. This floating warrant debt is high; r it should be lowered instead of increased. . The city faces a bond maturity of $60,000 the first of , next January; and no provision uonas-wnen tney rail due. Looking ahead taxpayers face a three mill state tax next year because of defeat of the sales tax. They face an in crease of two mills in the county tax because of old age pensions.

HENDRICKS Luckyman ledge and mules' kicks leading to big mining money: S S The writer in yesterday .Issue quoted from the new book of Ru- tus Rockwell Wilson, of The press oi me rioneers, ew iur, ouu I EtfrfeffiTS Nhat interesting chapter: "W S m "'Gold Is where yon find it Is a time-worn saying among mose who hunt for it, and one that of ten has had striking confirmation In the history of mining. 'Sixty years ago a familiar fig- ure in the town of San Bernardino, uaiiiorma, was bo via piusvetiui named Lee. He would appear at regular intervals in the place, lay in a fresh stock of supplies, and then disappear for another long stay in the mountains and on the borders of the desrt to the north ward of the San Bernardino val ley. "On one of his trips Lee round what he thought was cinnabar in the hills south of the Majave riv er, and in pursuit of the ledge ran a tunnel of considerable length into the hillside. The rock excavated in this search no threw on the dump with no thought or what it might contain. W One afternoon Lee left. San Bernardino bound for another of his claims a sliver property. which, bv the way remains un covered to -this day and in the mornintr his body was found on the outskirts of the town wun a bullet through the heart. HI slayer remains unknown, and tor a time no one gave heed to nis holdings in the Mojave hills. The vear 1879 brought disaster to many of the farmers in southern California. Drouth and wind ruining the crope, and not a few of them, who had been miners in his wav across the mountains and out to the Mojave river, where ne spent a night with the owner of a cattle ranh on the banks of that stream. 'Old Man Lee,' said his host, 'used to have a quicksilver mine no In the hills yonder, and worked there a good aw. wy don't .yon go up and see the mine?' " fc "Next morning the prospector followed up the hint that naa been given him, and; searching the hills, found Lee's tunnel. He aulckly decided that the dead man bad been on a false trail is his hunt for cinnabar, but some of the rock on the dump attract ed his experienced eye. He picked ont some of the best looking spe cimens, and an assay proved them to be rich in silver. - "Lee In a vain search for something- lse had quarried out and thrown away several thousand dollars. The finder at once relo cated the ledge, which he renamed the Luckyman, and which, con firming the hopes of its new own er, for-a long period yielded an average of $80,000 a' month in sliver bullion.? J ; . ." . ; Reading on in this chapter: "One William Hawkins, familiarly known as Bill and hailing from Chicago, appeared in Arizona in the spring of 1875, and found the work he needed as a teamster hauling freight from : Tucson to the gold and silver camps in the Sonora range. He had little ex perience in the handling of mules, and his lot was made a more trou bled one by the tact that one of the animals in his string, called Old Sam, an unruly and vicious brute, never missed a chance to bite or kick at him... One morn ing Hawkins left. Tucson for a camp 80 miles distant, ' His load was heavy one, and part of the way the road was little more than a trail aleag the side of tho moun- Fire Extinguisher tains; but he succeeded In cover ing 60 miles of it without a hitch or mishap. Before him lay a steep ridge. with a deep canyon on each side of the narrow road and heavy grade. Half way across Old Sam, the mule, bsan to kick and at last managed to get out of the traees, after which he calmly laid down in the middle of the road. as If intent on a long rest. Strive as he might, Hawkins could not get him up, when two Mexicans came down the trail, and. with their aid, resort was had to more heroic methods. One of them gathered a lot of dry grass, piled it close to the mule's hindquarters and set a match to it. The next instant Old Sam's heels landed on his driver's stomach with a force that sent Hawkins reeling over the side of the road to land on top of a ledge a score of feet down the mountainside. "The unexpected kick, however, brought good luck with it. The Mexican in pulling the grass for his fire had torn away some earth, and from his landing place on the ledge Old Sam's victim espied pay ore beneath it. The discoverer acted with discretion and good sense. He went his way, telling no one of his find. Instead, on bis return to Tucson he wrote a brother in San Franeisco to gath er up all the cash he could, and , come with despatch to Arizona. ; His summons was promptly obey- j ed, and soon a gang of men were at work on the Daylight mine. which almost from the first net ted $1000 a month. Its monthly yield gradually Increased to three times that sum, and when Haw kins died in 1890 both he and his brother had been for years men of large means." m m ' Reading on: "Luck also had Its part In -the discovery in. 1889 of the Farewell mine In the Globe district of Arizona. A few years earlier ta finder, Henry Raymond, a mining engineer trained in the eastern schools, -had sought em ployment in the southwest. In due time he and a' fellow: engi neer who had accompanied him from the east secured places with silver, companies at Prescott and Harqua Hala. When, however, a steady fall in the price of silver caused the closing of the mines in which they were employed. Raymond turned prospector, and for four years roamed the' moun tains of souhtern Arizona, ; but ' without substantial results. In the fall of 1889, finding himself without money or the prospect of employment he decided to return to his old home in the east. "Meanwhile, his chum had se cured work, at Globe, and Ray mond went there for. a visit with him before leaving the country The afternoon of the day set for his departure the;two men went for a farewell stroll in the hills, and la a gulch on the way sat down ond talked for several hours.

"He carried the specimen back to town, and, after a long and more 'detailed examination.' thought It best to extend his stay in Globe. Next morning he set to work to trace the float he had found to the mother lode, and at the end of a fortnight located the Farewell mine, which at once be came a profitable producer. Be fore it finally pinched out at the end of a decade It netted Raymond a comfortable fortune. . , v: Reading on: "It was a jackass instead of a mule which led to the discovery of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan, the richest mine in Ida ho, The story is a strange and true one, and is substantiated by court records." . s (Continued tomorrow.)

I can't do those thinzs as long aa the police have a trine on me. You ought to be smart enough to see that. I'm ask ing yon to do the wise thing. Turn me loose!" Leni leaned forward a little. "There isn't that simple, Mr. Mul rooney?" she exclaimed. But Mulrooney had no intention of being swept off his feet. He was, after all, a policeman and he enter tained not the slightest idea of ex onerating and liberating a promis ing prisoner in exchange for an ephemeral promise. "Not on your life, Mr. Cava naugh," he said without taking his cigar from his mouth. "You're m a bad jam and yon know it. I've stretched a point even in bringing you out here to talk. I made a bar gain with you after Kruger was shot, but that's all off now. You're in a spot where you're going to come clean with everything I mean everything or you're going to take it on the chin. I was wining to play ball with you after Kruger but it s another story now." He had employed the tone which he used to Intimidate prisoners. Lucky Cavanaugh had no intention, however, of being browbeaten. "Im-going to make you just one more little proposition, Mulrooney, he said and his eyes tightened a he spoke.
