a Mexican, Mt Hinds? had never to my kuowledge, yoa kuow Mexicans are strange ple, they are very dark, with long wk hair, aud they disliked to be looked at with curiosity. So when we arrived in Torouto he sent me here just to see you" At this point he _ drew from his pocket a newspaper and and ou the front page he drew my at- tention to the picture of a face on at and 'asked if I recognised it. I at Once saw it was a wood cut of himself ond with that my wife looked at it Aud said she thought it wasa very good likeness. He unrolled the paper further and disclosed also the picture of his Mexican partner which wo also looked at. "He then asked ur to read the matter printed there regarding them, This my wife did. The paper went on to say that the pictures were those of Lige Thompson and Orie Gon- zello, two old miners who were very quiet and reticent about their business but it was generally understood by the people in this district that they had struck a marvelously rich thing. The paper was then folded, replaced in his Pocket and the conversation resumed. y wife, feeling interested in the story and sympathetic towards him on account of his very honest manner and the extremely disappointed cloud that seemed to overpower him by not meet- ing the real Phoney Hinds, broke in and said, wa gold dust in their possession was found to be valued at about $150,000. This information Lige received quite com- posedly and added, "That is just about what I thought it to be, $560,000 apiece for the three of us' Still on we travelled, Lige further talking as fol- lows :-- "Mr. Hinds, those Mexicans are strange people. When Orie and 1 got to Kingston, at the hotel, he said to me, 'Lige, 1 don't like staying around here having all the people staring at me like this, let's go out to camp,' so Orie and I travelled a mile or so out of Kingston along the railway track till we came to a swamp and there Orie 18 At present camping it, and when we get to Kingston we will take a livery rig and drive out to him." Finally we arrived at our destination and Lige treated me to a first-class dinner, after which he hired a rig and struck out in- to the country in the direction of the camp. We soon reached a gate and through it we drove our horse and tied it to a tree, Lige explaning that the Spaniards were not in the habit of shaking bands upon being . introduced, but their custom was merely to remove their head gear and 'acknowledge by a bow, land also that Orie could only speak Spanish, but he would interpret what he said. . This being understood, Lige struck into the swamp and I followed him, On reaching & small rivulet, a clump of trees camg into close view, d *Phowey, don't you remember | and among them I booked upon the ata, dome people iu King. | strangest figure ghia sie mg ogre § ; "and p y stro {ever beheld, - A Buman being it 3 © right man might be found | 5 'Kingston | Kingston I ssid" Lige, '1 belisve that is the very place; I will go up to Toronto tonight for Orie and wu will go down to Kingston,' INVITED TO TAKE TEA. I invited him to stay for tea, which he accepted, and meanwhile asked to be excused till he could go to the sta- tion and make exact inquiries respect- ing urains. This he did vefy care- fully, and on his return resymed' the conversation about mining, something after this fashion :--* Well now if I go to Kingston and find my old partner 1 shall be more than rejoiced, butif I do not find him I shall Le in an awful fix, because 1 must further tell you it is now somewhat known down "there and if I cannot find Hinds I do not know what I shall do, for we cannot keep this a secret much longer, for if the Jesuits knew it we would lose all. Now what to do should I not find Hinds in Kingston I do not know. But, Mr. Hinds, while down at the station a thought came into my mind which I must tell you. It seemed strange that 1 should have come all the way from Arizona here to Oshawa and bo directed right into your camp. Well now at the station T inquired of an elderly gentleman there, a grain buyer (Lewis Ooryell), all about you, and he gave you a right good character | and said you were a smart business | man, Now what I bad in my mind was simply this, I thought it would be the best thing that we could do to get you to come to Arizona and open our mine for us, and we will give yon exactly what we had arranged to give our old partner should he not be found in Kingston. Of course I must confer with Orie when I see him. He is very anxious after all these years of work to get the mine opened, and I am sure that if he saw you, after I talk the thing over with him, that he will do it. Bo if Orie consents to this I will tele- graph you from Kingston and will come up and take you down to see Orie. It shall not cost you anything. I will pay all'the bills, and if Orie is then opposed to it yon are nothing out, but if he is agreed I am willing that you take the place of our old partner and share all the gains we had in store for him." I told him I would consider it. Lige took his departure. The tea was now over and the time had nearly arrived when the train left Oshawa for the west, which had to convey Lige to Toronto for his Mexican in order to take him to Kingston to search for the old original Phoney Hinds. Now comes a lull in the project. 1 wiled away the interval in telling my wife of tho delightfal trips I would give her to the sunshine of Arizona while the wintry winds of Oanada were blowing unheard far to the north: A TELEGRAM ARRIVES. Wednesday afternoon came around, when a boy came to the door and hand- ed my wife a telegram, which she open- ed in the presence of the swarthy con- stable of our town, who happened there at this moment, which read thus :-- Kingston, Sept. 28, 1893. Phoney Hinds: Will be at your place to-night at nine o'clock. i sen THOMPSON. I was at the station when the train from the cast arrived and, true enough, met again Lige Thompson, who rela- edto me on the way home how his eearch in Kingston hud proved frutile, and how Orie and him had talked the whole matter over, and that Orie was of the same opinion as inset, but. would agree to nothing definite till he could see me for him- self. Daring the course of the even- ing { consented to nccompany Lige to Kings I invited Lige to remain ¢ s0, after a pleasant even- previous day. From this I took in their presence $20, and I said to my ife, "Here is $850 which I desire take up to the bank and deposit me." I bid my wife good-bye and struck for the station. When nearing | the sample weighed, after which it was | subjected to a charcoal blast till the | fraction of the nugget and by its side evideaf, very tall and uot overly stout, with Tong black bair streaming from beneath the broad brim of a genuine Southern sombrero, circling his shoulders in curly waves, His com plexion was a deep wine color, whilst his body was wrapped in a blanket in such a fashion as to remind one of the Rowan toga. Lige broke the silence as follows :--"Gonzello, this is Mr. Hinds." Orie, the Mexican, took off his gigantic hat and made a bow almost to the ground (I'm with you thought I). Sol took off my bat and return- ed the bow as gracefully as I could. Then the Mexican began an oration in Spanish, with gestures to suit, and Lige interpreted it as follows :--*T like your looks, but you must know that Lige and Fhave worked powerful hard for this gold and if you deceive us God of Heaven will be avenged " This part of drama over, Lige drew my attention to a parcel on the ground wrapped in rubber and tied >with heavy cor is. "This," he said, 'is the gold we have brought with us and those tools you see there," pointing out a brace and drill, "we got in Kansas Oity to drill out a piece of the bars and have it test ed, but as our stay there was shorter than we expected we brought them here." The cords were loosened and | before our eyes were exposed two bars about seventeen inches long and two inches wide and four inches thick. Lige asked me fora piece of paper on which to put the pieces he would drill out. The drill was #djusted to the brace and Lige commeneed operations, drilling fully into the middle of the first bar and I caring for the pieces as they were loosened from the bar. 1 was then handed the brace and asked to drill into the second bar which I did, and then folded the borings iutoa piece of paper and placed them in my pocket to carry them back to Kingston to bave them assayed. Before wrap- ping the bars up again 1 was asked by Lige to stamp wy initiald opon each bar so that should they be lost I might identify them ; this I did, and then after bidding the Mexican a parting salute, Lige and JI wended our way to the buggy and retraced our course to Kingston, THEY MEET THE ASSAYER. When nearing s Kingston Lige asked me where he had better go to get the gold assayed. I said that the best | place would be at a jeweler's store. Presently a clock was noticed above a door and I pointed out the sign to Lige, telling hffa that that was a sign of a place we. were in search of, so he dis mounted and entered. In a few minutes he returned bearing in his hand a card which he handed to me, saying that the jeweler was not able to do the assaying for us, but thata gentleman had directed him to where it could be done, The card had print- ed on its surface--G, W, Fisher, Wash- ington, D.0., Assayer, and on its back was written Frontenac Hotel. "This is just what we want, we will go up and call on him," By this time we had arrived at the livery stable, and after Lige settled for the horse, we in- quired for the hotel. Arriving at it I asked the clerk if Mr. Fisher was here. He answered he was and up- stairs in his room. The door was point- ed out and I knocked at it, a voice call- ing out, "Come in," 1 opened the door and saw a gentleman in his shirt sleeves writing at a table: z He arose and excused himself for not coming to the door, saying he thought it was some gentleman with whom he had an ap- pointment and for whom he had been testing a mine out north, finding the ore of a very poor quality and scarcely worth working. "Yes," 1 said, "we learned you were here and have come to get you to do a little assaying for » y us," pulling out gold and halding it to hig. He' ocd it throu 4 ; * E 'of very good qual small scales were then produ metal melted and ran into one solid iece, and then it was put into an acid h. Here the Asstyer asked me if 1 had any brass about me. I answered, "Yes, this watch chain is brass." 1 dipped the chain esd'into thé acid and on looking found it to be discolor ed. The nugget of gold was then taken out bright and again weighed, when an instrument with a handle like a jack- kuife and ed it up into fangs, at thie ame OF which vas. regres tik. 16k., 18k, and 30k., the tips were dip- Ped in gold of those varying degrees of . A square stone was also produced and on it was spread a small was rubbed the tip of the fang bearing the 14k register, a & very fine quality and is perfectly safe at 820 per ounce. Would yo like a certificate I" 1 answered that we would. He went to anotlier corner of the room and took from a valise a blank form and on it registered the gold, attaching his fee of $2, which Lige promptly paid. At th s juncture Lige excused himself from the room and left ms in conversation with the assayer, who told me how we could go down to Philadelphia and have it minted and return with the money in our pockets. Mr, Fsher adding that if we had 3lbs. of it he would pay $20 an ounce for it and take it with him to Philadelphia, I told him we had probably more, but he was only prepared to take 5 or 6lbs, As Lige returned we took our departure from the Government assayer and in another part of 'the hotel further con- sidered matters, Lige drifting off in a fashion like this "Now, Mr. Hiuds, I feel that I am in a viey serious plight, and must get you to eéme and manage this business for us and then we must get this claim of Orie's grand- mother settled somehow. Now have hore $3,000, low much more will 'be necessary for this claim 1" I told him $12,000. "Well; Ioan never take the gold back to Arizona, But that $15, 000 must be raised. Now, Mr.) inds, low can we get this money 7 #Why.| says I, "that iv eas v and 7 at once" NBW| Mr. Hinds, that we must not do, and I'll tell you why, when we take the gold down to the mint and sell it, if the news of the sales gets into the papers and be copied into the western papers, we shall be shadowed and our steps.be dogged, and our moves noted till 10,000 people will be ready to rush in and take op claims, and as the sur- veyors and everybody there are a gang of thieves, our cluim would be located wiles away from the cave and cheat- ed out of the reward of all our work. No, it must be all secret till we get our claim settled.' Finally Lige sug- gested that we call in Mr. Fisher and see if he could help us out. This was done and Mr. Fisher suggested getting the gold minted. . ' Now,' says Lige, 'if we take this to Philadelphia to the mint can we get it coined without it getting into the papers ¥ 'Oh, no, says Mir, Fisher, 'certainly not, every sale is registred in the Government books, which are open for public in- spection.' 'Well, that will never do,' said Lige, 'we must not get it into the papers. Now, Mr. Hinds, could you raise the balance of this £15,000 for us? I answered all the money I have in this world is $850, which I an will- ing to put up for this purpose. 'How much will that be from $15,000? ask- ed Lige. This I figured out and told him. Well that will not do either.-- Here Mr. Fisher called me. outside, and in a cautioning tone' advised "me not to advance any money on this gold till I saw him in the morning, when he would take the bars en masse and melt them in some foundry and test the entire specimen. This I promised him to do and returned to Lige, who asked me what Mr. Fisher had to say. I told him, whereupon he answered, 'I don't care what he does with it, he can melt it all he likes! 1 agsured Lige that 1 had every confidence in the genuineness of the analysis. LIGE'S PROPOSITION, =: Tt had by this time got well on to: wards midnight and Lige bad to de- part to¥join Orie in the woods. I bade him good night in Mr. Fisher's presence and promised to think mat- ters over till worning, when 1 would see him and arrange the matters finally. I was now left in charge of the assayer, who entertained me with mush infor mation concerning the minting process and many similar subjects. In about half an hour I was surprised to see Lige again, who had returned to see mé. He looked very anxious and worried and again we resumed the question of partnership, Lige commenc- ing 'Now Mr, Hinds I'll tell you what I thought of and what I came back for. I just thought of a scheme ; how soon could you get that $8507 I told him 1 could get it first thing in the morning by telegraphing to the bank in Oshawa, I can get itat once by being identified, which is no trouble whatever for me. 'Well, now, Mr, Hinds, my plan is this," continued Lige, 'you know Orie cannot read neither can his grand- mother, and I thought that if J were to put my £3,000 with your $850, I would get it nll changed into small bills, as in this way it would look like a large sum ; neither of them would know auy better, and I will-take it down and give it to Orie and say here is your money. Then we can go abead 'and open our mine. We can tell the old lady to keep those bills about her, and when we get the gold coined we can buy them back in $10 gold pieces, sufficient to make up her $15,000. Now I know this looks like deceiving them, and I don't like to deceive my old partper, but 1 don't see any other way out of it and be just to myself." This scheme 1 thought of a few minutes and then an- swered--'No, Lige, don't doit. Now dh now 12.45 a. m., in the office of the Frontenac Hotel, Kingston, 1 sa: what 1 have said, take ona bar each and go down to Philadelphia with your friend Mr. Fisher, who returns this evening, sell your gold, go back and pay the old woman her $15,000, bring the rest of the gold to Philadelphia, sell it, and then if you require me you know where I am--good night, Lige.' After shaking hands with Mr. Fisher and myself, Lige says, 'I'll see you in the morning, Mr. Hinde." 'All right, good night! I repair to my room, secure my overcoat and umbrella, and return to the office and settle for my supper. Then I approach Mr. Fisher, and addressed him thus--'When you see Lige give bim my compliments, tell hin to take that nigger he had in the swamp to the Lake and give him a wash." I then entertained Mr. Fisher jon | for 8 few minutes by giving him a little exhibition of manly strength and | took the train for home. Moneg 22 Loan.--Mr. ¥.
