Kills oven w?'iit so far us to muke a
pro-election vow thut ho would ueve
snuvo or cut his hulr until the Dem
ocrat* were elected. llryun was do-|
feated und Klllj kept his promise.
I'or twelve years und more ho hu? j
vmnlued ui.shorn, his tall figure |
and the uuusuul crop of alfalfa cov
ering his poll, murklng him for u
hi range character.
Upon the oloctlon of Mr. Wilson,
"lied" Kills, ivunt to Seattle and
ion nee ted with a tonsorlal parlor,
and when he returned to Vnldox his
old frlonils could not recognlxo in
tho dapper looking youngster, any
thing thut resembled tho "Red" Ki

Representative Uoylc, though Inter
ested with h| in in tho Cliff mine,
passed him without recognition.
The total sum of $676. 566 bus
bteu produced by the Llttlo Cliff
mine slncc the small three-stamp
mill started working on the clulnis i
May, 19 10, u little ovor three years
ago. lu a run .of 36 hours $13,000
wag produced.
U wim liilh ituie in iiiia me i>iu
ueor ot litem all, which startod the
Valdez camp us u producing section
of Alatka. With a capital stock of
100,000 shares! but of which only ono
fourth was noeded to place the
claims on a dividend basts, the stock
holders of this company havo re
ceived n'.awy times their original In
vestment and will recelvo many
thousands more, as present Indica
tions point to a. lurge body of ore
ou the property.
This untie YV'is made famous by
l-elng tlie first Important discovery
aud the first Heady producer and Is
Ucated on the north side ot Valdez
l.uv about a mile east of the ou
tran'* to Shoup Hay. It Is en deep
wator and about 7 uslles westerly
from Valdez. Tho proporty was lo
cated several years ago by H. E.
Kills, a pioneer prospector, who af
ter doing the assessment work wlth
interesteu Col. R. P. Millard aud J.
M. La.hroi., who quickly saw tho
posalKVUles of the prospect. They
organized a company aud secured a
le:u>e from Ellis for six years, agree
ing to pay a royally of 20 per cent,
for the first year and 26 per cent
thereafter of lite uot profits of tho
output.
A stock company was then organ
ized to develop and equip tho proper
ty and It was no easy mattor to sell
sulflclent stock at 25 couts per
share io raise tho necessary amount
of capital to meet the expense. Poo
pic wore somewhat skeptical about
?old b"'n? found so near homo. It
,vus the old story of dlstaunt fields
looking green and the argument was
made that if tho gold could bo foun
In paying quantities so near Valdez
It would havo boen discovered long
ago. However, tho promoters did
raise money etough to install three
stamps and put tho mine ou an ec
onomical working basis, and after It
had been In operation Just one yoar
the stock was jelling at $6 a share.
Within the last yoar the mill has
been 'ucreasod to six stamps and
tho development carried to tho 500
foot level, which Is 400 feot below
sea lovol, and where excellent val
ues are still bo ng mined. Tho vein
still m- .italn their original slzo and
iho mine now has to Its credit a
production exceeding $600,000 In
gold. The mine employes about 60
?iron tno year around and Is ono of
the principal factors In tho prosper
ity of Valdex.
The splendid rosults achlovod by
the workings ot ttho Cliff mlno stlm
ulnted prospoc'ing to such an ex
lout that Bomo 50 additional proper
ties have boen discovered and devel
oped sufficiently to Insure that at

Unpronounceable
Name
By MARTHA V. MONROE
Two American girl* stopping In
Munlcb ono morning asked tbelr land
Imly what thero was In tbe way of

Tbey bud "dono" tho city, and It ouly
rcninlncd for them to take In anything
remarkable In the environ*.
"1'ho Wohlfnrth scbloss I* a very old
building." tli? woman replied. "Jt I*

"I* It a rulu?"

"I'm with you, Itosle. I would like
to see n real old castlo that'* kept up
In modern style."
Alighting at a railway station, they
asked the wny to the radio of an offi
cial who afiowed tbem the tower* ru
ing above tho tree* within walking
distance. Me Informed tbem that
Count Wolfgang Wohlfartb occupied
the custlu and sometime* tourist* were
admitted to Inspect It On reaching
It thoy crossed a drawbridge, passed
under a portcullis and told the gate

tolerably well, that they were Ameri

castle.

"Can you tell us to whom to apply 7"
asked ISelle.
The man broko down again. V
"I'oor fellow." said Itosle. "I lap

to pronounce his master's uauie, Wolf

to bo Countess Wolfgung Wohlfartb.
"I'd rntlu'r !>c tlio countess wunouc
(ho Wolfgang Woblfarth."
Both girls laughed, and Just then a
mna came towunl them In clothes that
(bey supposed were livery. Flo bowed
lioliiely to the girls and waited for
tlium to speak They told blm that
tbey would be obliged If be would go
to the count nnd get permission for
them to see the castle. At the same
time Rolle put n silver coin In bis band,
lie put It in bis pocket, replying that
he bad authority to show the castle to
visitors and would be happy to do 10

and other uotnbles bad occupied, a
tower that had been battered down
nnd repaired In a war with the Icing
of Sweden and no end of urrni that
had been taken In battle by the Wolil
fartbs "f olden times. Iudeed. for a
lackey tit seemed remarkably familiar
with the history of Europe during a
period that few Americans are not In
terested In. The girls, however, bad been
sufficiently educated to recognize the
fact that tbo man made no historical
blundera-at least none that they could
detect. When they had finished the
lour of the different objects of In
terest and tbey were about to depart
Belle thanked the man nnd said:
"1'lease tell your master that we
nave been very much pleased with his
castle We are from Milwaukee. In the
United States If he ever comes to
America I shall be happy to show him
my father's home."
"Milwaukee!" exclaimed the man.
"Yes: we have a great many Uer
mans In our city."
The mnu changed the language ho
used from German to fair English and
said that the count had relatives liv
ing In Milwaukee. If tho visitors
would wait for a few momeuts be
would like to ask the connt If be would
not wis n to meet them. They assent
ed, and bo ushered thoin Into a waiting
room. Presently he returned with an
Invitation from the count to remain to
luncb, then turned them over to a maid.
When the visitors entered the draw
ing room tbey were received by an
elderly lady, who welcomed them gra
ciously, though she did not speak Eng
lish, and the girls' German was not
readily understood by her nor hers by
them. While they were chatting to
gether In came the man who bad Bbown
tbem about the castle. He had doffed
bis livery, which was really a hunting
costume,' nnd appeared In the everyday
dress of a gentleman.
"This Is my son, Wolfgang," said the
lady who bad received tbem.
"And thl?ls my mother, the Countess
Woblfarth." replied tho young man.
"She has a cousin living In Milwaukee,
and therefore I presumed sho would
like to meet otic coming from tbo same

ants. Then all went to luncheon.
Tbo girls were Invited by the dowa
ger countess to make a visit at tbo cas
tle, which lasted a week. Tbo next
year the count appeared In Milwaukee
ostensibly to visit his cousin, but really
to propose aarrlago to the girl who
said that sbe would prefer being count
