OW, therefere, when the scum
of the carpet-bagging clan
had been driven forth from the lodges
of the lowest outcasts among the In
.dians, by reason of their treachery, in
gratitude and deceitfulness, they then
realized that at last they had reached
their proper level. Yet were they not
ashamed: but gloried in their degrationi
For were they not sustained by an abid
ing faith in their master Sathanas,
sometime called Beelzebub?'and felt
l
that in his own good time he would
provide for his children.
Cjj But the Promised Land lay far beyond
and many weary days did pass before
their eyes beheld its glories. For they
must needs travel through the country
of the Yallerlaigs, which in our day is
called Klondike. And they were lain
'to feed dogs, clean sewers and become
roustabouts for roadhouses, thereby
accumulating many things that were
not essential—even as Job; so great
was their fear of the Wood Pile, for
such cases made and provided.
Q And when the springtime came they
• stole logs and made rafts and joyously
floated down the mighty river to the
land of Grab-and-Graft. Here the
. ghost of ‘“Soapy” appeared unto them
in a vision, saying: “Lo and behold!
your troubles, trials and tribulations
are now over. Enter into the posses
sion of the Kingdom prepared for your
coming. Honesty is already on the
run!” And they fell upon their faces
and wept, and worshipped Sathanas
‘ their master.

Another Strike
Frank & Graham have at last locat
ed the paystreak on 22a Hoo3ier. Pay
was found by these men on the bench
of this same claim last winter, but it
proved to be merely a pocket and soon
pinched out. Nothing daunted the men
started to prospect the claim again last
fall, sinking numerous shafts ■ in the
creek and on the bench—but never a
color rewarded their efforts. Rather
than become color-blind they decided to
quit the claim -and cross-cut 15a pup;
but finally concluded to put a fire in a
shaft nearest the creek, and drift that
one .fire.
The following morning Fi*ank went
down the 12-foot shaft to clean out the
first, and as calculated, the last drift
fire on that claim. Shovelling out a
few inches of the face on bedrock he
picked up a $10 nugget; Frank got in
terested, and picked up a $5 nugget and
some smaller pieces. He called for a
pan and washed several—it averaged
50 cents. This was a week ago. Since
they have drifted in 13 feet, and are
still on the pay. No effort will be made
to drift up or down stream until the ex
act width of the paystreak is determ
ined.
The Rampart mining district has
need of prospectors of the stamp of
Frank & Graham—men who are not too
easily discouraged—and always willing
to put in, * ‘just one more fire. ’ *
