WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. A corrected

atch from Manila In regard to the
nassacre of American soldiers In Sa
nar was made public at the war de

he cipher the dispatch was first inter

hows that the cipher words mistaken
"or "have escaped" really meant "In

IliELIHVE that boy lias
every tree In the to
climbed
ownshlp,
leHstwise the worst ones," said Mrs.
Cornwiler,
"Deary met I should be afraid he'd
break his neck," said Mrs. Millwalte.
"I don't see where he got It," said
Mrs. Cornwiler.
"He pot It from yon, that's plain,'
said Mr. Cornwiler, boldly,
"From me! Why, just climbing a
fence makes me almost dizzy!"
"Your father aawt a a sailor," said
Cornwiler, "and his father was top
man in the navy under old Commo
dore I'reble. Tom's inherited theii
climb from you."
While this discussion wns going on
Indoors Tom wns going off outdoors.
Mrs. Millwaite's visit gave him a
chance to go fishing. He put a hook
nnd line in his pocket, intending to
cut a fish pole on the way, nnd trust
ing to find fat, white bait grubs in
old logs. He owned a sharp one-hand
hatchet, which he thrust Tinder his
buckskin belt.
A quarter of n mile from the river
he came to a fnmilinr tree-stub. It
had been a forc-st giant, but. some
storm had broken off its top, leav
ing its great trunk HO feet high. For
est fires had consumed the fallen top
nnd deeply charred the huge trunk.
Tom struck it with his hatchet head.
To his surprise it sounded hollow
n mere shell. 'He was immediately
curious to know if it was hollow all
the wnv up, nnd the only way to as
certain was to climb it.
A more uninviting stub to climb
could not be found. It wns very
grimy, nnd too smooth nnd lnrge to
be clasped by either arms or legs;
but Tom sought a thicket nnd cut the
largest tough withe he could find.
He wrapped this about the stub nnd
fastened its two ends securely to his
belt with strips of strong bark, nink
ing a hoop somewhat larger thnn the
tree. Leaning well back, he walked
his moceasincd toes right up, rais
ing the hoop by quick jerks.
The tree was hollow. Tom sat on
the edge, with his feet dangling out
side, ns steady of nerve as if upon
the ground. When his curiosity wns
satisfied he slipped off the hoop to
retie it more to suit him. An incau- ,
tious movement broke a bit of the
edge and disturbed his balance. He
made a violent move to recover him
self. More edge crumbled inward,
nnd down he went inside, head and
heels together, like a shut jackknife.
One hand held to the hoop, pulling it
after him. Head, back, hips and legs
scraped down the long tube, carrying
fragments of rotten wood and a
dusty cloud.
Tom struck on a deep, soft pile of
debris, into which his doubled-up j
body plunged breast and knee-deep. I
The concussion shocked him breath- :
less and set his nose bleeding copi
ously nnd the dust nnd blood hin- '
dered the recovery of his breath. Al- .
though he wns not quite unconscious,
5t was long before he stirred. The :
back of his head had been severely
raked and rotten wood was ground
into all his lacerations.
When at last he began to try to
move he found himself wedged in.
Vainly he wiggled; he could hardly
stir, nnd could neither lift himself (
nor get his legs down. His hips, bnck
and nil the muscles of his legs nched
find prickled intolernbly from strain
nnd checked circulation. j
He could not resist crying; but, be
ing n lad of good courage, endurance
nnd resource, he soon began a sys- ,
tematie effort for release, packing I
the loose debris down as firmly as he j
could with his hands, at the same
time pressing it away all around with ,
his body. This exertion caused great- ,
er ache, but he persisted resolutely. I
By nnd by he got his hatchet out of j
his belt, and struck it, after a dozen
efforts, so firmly into the wooden I
wall that he could hang his weight
to it with one haid while he worked
the debris under him with the other. ;
He gradunlly enlarged his space suf- i
ficiently to allow the bending of his !
knees. After that he was not long !
in getting his body up nnd feet down,
so as to sit cramped on one hip, with
both feet nearly level.
Exertion, pain and the pressure of !
returning circulation made his pulses
throb and his head swim, and he
lapsed into semiconsciousness, now
long this lasted he knew not, but
when he began to struggle again he
was in blnck darkness. A few stars
shone calmly down his wooden well, i
but he. could work only by feeling
about with his hands, ne felt ex-
hausted, hungry and weak, but he i
kept on working until he managed to
stand erect. Then, after feebly kick
ing and pushing debris to fill up the j
hole where he had been, he curled :
himself as comfortably us he could
and slept a blessed though troubled
Bleep.
After a long time he stre'tched out.
His sore heels hit one wall, his sore ,
head the other. This time the pain I
roused him to a renewed sense of his
situation. He set up, stiff, lame all
over, weak, gnawed by hunger and
thirst, but still undismayed and re
eoureeful. A little thought and a
trial convinced him that, weak and
sore as he was, it would be a vain
waste of strength to try to climb up
the difficult inside of his prison.
"There's always more than one way
to skin a cut," he reflected. "I've got
to get out of this somehow; that's
all there is to it." He ran a thumb
ever the edge of his hatchet. "Pretty
, sharp yet. Too ligLt to chop easy,
THE COLUMBIAN,
and no room to swing it, but it'll eut
a hole, give it time."
Scraping away the rotten wood, he
selected a place where the wall
seemed thin, nnd began hacking.
Progress wns slow. At first his stiff
muscles and sore body hurt acutely,
but this pain wore away as he went
on. The wood, charred outside and
Very dry, was hard nnd tough. Al
though it wns a sunny day and his
eyes had adjusted their vision to the
dimness of his pit, he could hnrdly
see where to strike. He dared not
pry out lnrge slivers, for if the edge
or handle of his hatchet should break
he might never get out. His awkward
position nnd the one-hand work tired
him rapidly, nnd lie suffered occasion
al cramps,
During one of his frequent rests he
heard Ban barking loudly outside.
"Oood dog! I'm coining!" he
shouted.
When Tom did not appear for sup
. per, Mrs. Cornwiler began to fret, but
not much, for he was often late. Aft
er supper, with n Tom to do the
chores, Mr. Cornwiler grumbled, but
did them himself, saying:
"Come, now, wife, Vie boy probably
has a good excuse, lie's pretty reg
ular, considering."
By bedtime Mrs. Cornwiler was anx
ious. "I'm sure he's lying hurt some
where in the woods, fallen from a
tree; or maybe he's got lost."
"Pshaw, now, Edith! Tom couldn't
lose himself anywhere in this county
the darkest night that ever was; nnd
he doesn't know how to fall from a
tree. He'll be home all right pretty
soon. Likely he's hindered by some
thing he thinks important."
At ten o'clock Mrs. Cornwiler wns
insistent nnd Cornwiler less confident.
He proposed to tnke the dog nnd
search.
Ban. being told to "flo find Tom!"
set off joyfully, wagging his tail. He
led Cornwiler straight to the charred
stub and barked, leaping ngainst it.
Cornwiler looked the stub nil over.
There were no signs of Tom. He
cnlled, nnd fired his rifle. There was
no reply. He supposed the stub solid,
but thumped it. Unfortunately the
blow struck where the shell wns thick
and where Tom had pneked the debris
hardest inside. It sounded solid. Mr.
Cornwiler thought that Ban hntt fool
ishly tracked a squirrel up it, or per
haps a coon mid been there and gone.
He drngged the dog away, ordering
him again to "Find Tom!" Ban in
stantly ran bnck to the stub and
whined and scratched, but Mr. Corn
wiler pulled him nwny.
Mr. Cornwiler searched a long time,
but found no trace of Tom, nnd Ban
seemed puzzled nnd not much inter
ested. After midnight Cornwiler be
gan a terribly anxious inquiry, rous
ing neighbor nfter neighbor. No one
hnd nny tidings. Mr. Millwnite
dressed, took his rifle nnd accompa
nied Cornwiler. Mrs. Millwaite, not
withstanding her deprecintion of
Tom, went to cheer and comfort his
mother all she could,
Millwaite suggested going first to
the chnrred stub. "You know Tom's
been there," he said, "and it's the
right point to stnrt from." As soon
as they arrived Baa began whining
nnd scratching nbout the stub. Corn
wiler sternly ordered him off, nnd the
poor dog, probably supposing it was
nil right, reluctantly obeyed. Both
men believed the stub solid, nnd that
Tom hnd merely come and gone. The
news of the lost boy spread, and by
sunrise a dozen men and boys were
scouring the woods.
After getting breakfast and doing
the housework, Clara Millwaite, who
had been thinking, concluded that
Tom must, after all, be at or near the
chnrred stub. "A clog never mistakes
In such matters; men do," the sen
sible girl reasoned. She would go and
tuke a look for herself.
"If Tom is there he'll be hungry
and thirsty," she thought, so she put
a generous breakfast and a bottle of
new milk in a bark basket.
Thinking Ban of no service, Corn
wiler left him nt the house, nnd the
dog immediately returned to the stub
nnd resumed his barking. Clnra
henrd him nnd hurried to reach the
spot nnd judge for herself of the
dog's behavior. She arrived just as
Tom drove a long sliver through, and
put out his fingers for Ban to lick.
In n few moments more he had the
aperture sufficiently enlarged for
Clara to pass in the bottle nnd slices
of food. Tom drnnk first a long,
thirsty pull. Then how he did eat!
with the nppetite of a starved wolf
and the gratitude of a generous-minded
boy. Clara bade him give her the
hatchet, and while he ate she hacked
with the skill and strength of a pion
eer girl.k As the wall was now pierced
they could chop the edges of the shell
and make faster progress. In half
an hour Tom was able to squeeze
through.
What an object he wast Bloody,
grimy and covered with rotten wood
from head to heels! Even his hair
wns plustered with gore and dust.
Clara gathered leaves and helped him
clean it off as well as he could, but
It would require several severe scrub
baths and a week's healing to make
him presentable.
While they walked home she rallied
him about his appearance, suggesting
that half the township, especially the
ladies, would be on hand to meet him.
But Tom said he guessed that as long
as she had seen him in this condition,
he could stand being looked at by the
other ladies.
As for Bun, he was so absorbed
that evening with the unusually large
bone given him that he quite failed
to hear Mr. Cornwiler's compliment.
I allow," suld Mr. Cornwiler, "that
when It comes to woodcraft, I haven't
got half the sense of that dog."

Capital Stoclr, $1,000,000.
Divided into 2co,ooo Shares of Par Value of $5.00 Each.
FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE.
We call special attention to the fact that one share of this Company,
whose entire Capital Stock consists of only 200,000 shares of the par
value of Five Dollars each, secures an interest in its property equal to 5
shares in a Company of One Million Shares of the par value of only
One Dollar each, as is the case with nearly all Mining Companies offer
ing shares at a price seemingly lower than the present price of the
shares of this Company, but in reality much higher.

This is very extensive, consisting of four mining properties, each
over, one mile in length, on a great copper vein over 100 feet in width,
pronounced by Copper experts as among the widest and richest copper
veins known, lacking only the necessary development to place same in
the front rank of the greatest dividend and copper producing properties.
It is on the same gteat Copper Mineral Bolt upon which are located the world's pres.
ent grentest copper mines, each' paying many millions of dollars annually in dividends and
developed to the depth of from looo to 2000 feet, thus fully establishing the fact that the
veins are not alone inexhaustible, but widen and become even more profitable with depth
The great vein on this property is of such unusual width and so prolific in copper ore
from surface that only moderate developments ore needed tbee;in the production of ore on
a scale to insure large dividends on the shares of this Company.
The Company is sinking a shaft now nearly 100 feet in depth on the vein of one of its
four propeities, the "Pay Koll." This shaft is entirely in ore, which, by tests gave values
nt the surface of from 3 to 4 per cent, copper; at the depth of fifty feet tests e'ave Talues of
from 8 to 10 per cent, copper; at the depth of seventy feet tests gave values of from 12 to
14 per cent m copper, while selected samples show values as high as ia per cent corner
and nearly $15 in gold nnd silver per ton.

As showing that this great vein is not nlone of unusual width, but also of rare rich
ness in ore at compared with some of the richest copper mines, we refer to the great "An

five per cent in copper; or to the "Boston and Montana" paying over 6,Ooo7coo annually
from ore averaging less than six per cent, in copper; pr to ihe "Great Verde," paying
