Galena. January 27. 1M. IT IB DOUBTFUL whether In recent years snytblng bss occurred that has awakened the Interest, excited tha comment or mystified the people of thla region as have tha rellgloua meet ings being neia here fty ttev. t.

t-arnam, familiarly termed 'Tha Divine Healer." Almost three months have elapaed since this roan came to Oalena and during that time ha has healed over a tnouaand people and converted more than Suo. When Rev. Farbmm flrat began to attract attention he was holding services in a large tent, and soon the streeta In that vicinity were crowded nightly with people who were aaxloua to see and hear the wonderful man who waa healing the alck. the maimed and the blind without money and without price. When It waa found that the tent was utterly Inadequate to accommodate the crowd who assembled a large double storeroom that would shelter S.UUO people was procured, a platform waa built at one end, atovea were set up, rough pine boards were Inatalled to be uaed aa aeata.

Here for the paat six weeks Par ham haa preached 10 crowded houses, and the Interest shows no sign of abatement. In this rude temple cures that are looked upon almoat In the light of tnlraclea have been performed. During the services there have been aa many as SO pople at the altar at one time seeking to be restored In aoul or body. Here people who- have not walked for years without the aid of crutches have rlaen from the altar with their limba ao atraightencd that they were enabled to lay aalda their a-eHrrjisig-a-e-a. crutches, to the astonishment of the audience.

I Cured By Faith. These cures. they claim, are affectel rolely through prayer and faith. Nothing elae la done, though Rev. Parham often lays his handa upon the afflicted one while the devotions are going on.

with the result thst some say Jt is due to his own magnet-lam that ao much la accompllahed. Parham and bis followers do not advocate Christian Science or Spiritualism, but their belief condensed is that Ood is able to overcome all. cure diseases of both aoul and body, and will do so If they live a consecrated Chrlsttsn life and depend on him for alL'The Healer" makes no charges and takes no credit upon himself, saying that be la only teaching the people the "true He takes no collections during his meetings, but. notwithstanding, has had the needs of hlmeelf and family well provided for by -donatlona front a grateful public. -r.

Rev. Parbam.ia a slightly spare man, extremtly delicate looking, in fact, he haa said that he waa an invalid and badly crippled until he was healed through prayer. Hla face Is pale and earneat looking, while masaea of brown hair cover hla remarkably shaped bead. Parham Is the possessor of auch a wonderful personality that aome hare accused him of hypnotising hla Others go so far aa to term him a fanatic, but all. regardless of sect or prejudices, agree that be haa brought about condtttona that were never before witnessed in this part of the country.

All Nations Bepresented. Here women who have formerly lived for society and gaiety kneel beside some fallen later and endeavor to point Iter heaven- ward, and here what they term the "followers" receive the Pentecost, and are enabled to speak lit foreign tongues, hin-gaagea with which they are. when free from thla power, utterly unfamiliar. This alone la considered one of the moat remarkable thinga of the meetings. Last week a woman arose during the meeting and spoke for JO minutes, not one apparently In the audience knowing what ahe aald.

An Indian, who had come from the Pawnee Reservation in the territory that day to attend the 'services, stated that she was speaking In the language of hla tribe, and that he could understand every word of the teatlmony. Othera have apoken In Latin, in Hebrew, in Chlneae and various other and while auch manifestations have filled the public with wonder some are of the opinion that the religious demonstrations of this band are carried to extremes. One evening this week over 4O0 remained at the meeting- the entire night, singing, praying and speaking In different lanuagea. Not until broad daylight did they disperse, and a strange sight they presented wending their way homeward in the morning. On another occasion hundreds congregated on the banks of Spring River during one of tne coldest daya of the winter and wit nessea itev.

Parham immerse almost 100 converts In Its Icy waters, not one of whom, however, contracted even a alight cold. But or au tne wonderrul things which haa transpired In connection with these meet ings nothing has attracted the attention of the people as has the "healings." which have not been confined to an ignorant, uneducated class of people. On the contrary aome Of the most conservative. Intelligent persons, not only here but within a radius of over 100 miles, have visited "the healer with Wonderful results. AMERICAN ANTS TO FIGHT US.

Inoffeastve and exasperaUngly poUte especially to tbe gentler sex but when be spoke It seemed to us that his words carried with them an ambiguous meaning sod a depth of convict ton tbst would have made tbe average mine promoter look like a plugged nickel In tbe wrong aloe His sesquipedalla verba and Boston manners were calculated te knock tbe comsMa school graduates of our camp Into tbe back yard of obscurity, snd even Tarantular Tom forgot hla six-shooter and stood with his mouth open when tbe Tenderfoot began to explain the scientific side of minerology. Tbe stranger a ware carried with bins a slender bamboo cane an article of metro- poll a fashion that greatly offended Tarantular Tom and hia partner. Blza hooter Sam.

who frequently found It difficult to restrsln themselves In their mutual desire to tske a shot at the innocent walking stick. During the Tenderfoot's frequent visits to the mining camp he Invariably wore a pair of rimless noseglssses. whicb, considered with tbe cane, gave him any thing tut the appearance of a practical miner, but we knew from our observations that he bad discovered one of tbe rarest ledges In the whole Northwest. Slxshooter Sam and Tarantular Tom were among the first gentlemen who endeavored. by every civilised method, to ascertain the whereabouts of the Tenderfoot's mine; but these two Invulnerable warriors, like the rest of us.

were unable to obtain, any definite Information, although the stranger conversed freely on the probable asaaya of hla ledge, gave us a rough estimste of the billions of tons of free-milling ore In sight, told us about striking the "hanging wall." went Into numerous details concerning the dips, angles. Ac. end even resorted to the moat technical terms In hia descriptions of the ledge, which he confidently declared was between 3.000 and 10.U) feet long. The float, he said, which hsd been gathered Indiscriminately, would go In the enlghbor- hood of 1.10O to the ton. free milling, besides which be believed that It carried a vaat amount of native silver.

Iron and copper, with Indications of a quantity of the latter sufficient to pay for Its ahlpment and milling. This caused Tarantular Tom to aqulnt both eyes and look for a billiard table to lean upon, but Slxshooter Sam ordered tbe drinks snd declared thst "such dad-blasted good luck ought to be a criminal offense agin sasslety." Tbe Tenderfoot Ignored this polite vernacular and continued, quietly, to say that he had opened up several parallel veins which, he believed. contained a fine baae ore even richer than the rock of the main ledge, for upon react ing and pulverising a pan of It he had obtained results In coarse gold to the probable value of $10. Now all of these things pointed to a fab ulously rich claim, and. of course, we were anxious to acent out the trail and a take the adjoining ground; but the Tenderfoot seemed equally anxious to bring out his Eastern relstives In order that they might get In on the ground floor and Jiave first VV' hi fe Jv and almoat caused Slxshooter Ssm to give a little 44-ventilation to tbe Tenderfoot's anatomy; but at the request of One-Eyed Pete, who meekly hinted that auch a breach of etiquette would mean the complete loss of the mysterious mine.

It wss deemed necessary to dispense with the excitement of another funeral, so Tom and Sam quieted tbe troubled waters of their temper snd waited patiently for the Tenderfoot to betray his secret. He had been in camp about a month when be Informed us of bis discovery. Three months later we were no nearer a solution of the mystery than we had been when It first confronted us. Every one was asking. "Where Is the mysterious mine of the Tenderfoot?" But no one wss yet able to answer the Sphinx-like question.

For tbe first time In his career Tarantular Tom opened up his sack and "set 'em up" freely to the camp, hoping that a few good drinks of the Kentucky embalming-fluid would loosen the Tenderfoot's tongue. But the Tenderfoot only gulped down the drlnkswith alarming evidence of unconquerable sobriety, returned the treat and remained peculiarly taciturn. Nothing could unlock the coveted secret in his breast, and so tbe attempt waa finally abandoned by all but Tarantular Tom. who, on several occasions, endeavored to follow the Tenderfoot to hla claim. But tne Tenderfoot waa not to be taken oft bis guard, for after leading poor Tom over a number of mountains, up a half dosen canyons and through countless difficult forests, he Invariably disappeared as completely as though engulfed in the earth.

On these occasions Tom returned to the camp looking like a lost sheep tn a bad bllsxard bis teeth on edge, hla chin on his breast, and his rusty six-shooter ready to blow out tha first window-pane that Invited his attention. Once a week the Tenderfoot returned to camp for a. sack of provtstono. and Invariably carried oo bis shoulder a sack of the precious ore. which he placed In a private vault at the Miners and Merchants' Savings Bank.

Then, when he had purchased hla flour, bacon and matches, he would leave us aa before, desperate and mystified. But the actions of the Tenderfoot reached aa intolerable climax when he became acquainted with Bessie Holsel and presumed to enter Into a passionate courtship. Tarantular Tom. Three-fingered Joe and tbe other eligible miners of the camp had en-deavored for several months to stake oat ber heart, but ahe was unapproachable, and refused to be "located." But Tom and tbe othera bad secretly contended that she belonged to them, for they bad beea tbe first to discover her many charming; quail-ties and pay streaks. And the way that oily young Tenderfoot insinuated himself Into, her graces aad "Jumped the claim," was something that could not be.

righted except by a bangtag-bee. or an up-to-date funeral. Had it beea left to the decision of Tarantular Tom it ia probable that tbe Tenderfoot would bare been burled a little at a tims oaMbe Installmeat plan but was difficult to arouse public prejudice ta this high pitch, for every one was living In the hope that the Tenderfoot would yet betray tbe whereabouts of hia ledge, and thus create a boom for the dying camp. If Judge Lynch was allowed to prevail the secret would never be known; and anyway tt was Brtitapered that Bessie Holsel waa really In love with a desperado known aa Jack Billing, and that ana was only deceiving tbe Tenderfoot In order to get Into possession of bis wonderful mine. So tha funeral which Tom waa again anxious for was Indefinitely postponed, and thev stranger went unmolested.

Of course, no awe bead tbe faults of the ancle again tbe but It waa kaowm that Drssis was far from tbe good, pare women which she new pretended to be.

Her life In the Kaet bad beea aucb that sbe was compelled stesU for concealment, and her footsteps ta Challts had closely followed la the wake of "Reddy Black." who defended her ja every blackmailing Intrigue and aba red with ht tha profits of bee Infamy. She was pretty aunoet beautiful but was likewise canning. deceitful and trea woman who would stoop to any depth to obtain her and for whom more thaa one foot and bis money bad magically parted. Her acting in. tbe presence of tbe Icnderfot would have done credit to a Bernhardt, for aha realised that tbe boy in camp were too much In fear of her an-rh to betray her calling or dtvulgo bee character, aad a word against ber would bare meant a mysterious death to the Baas who uttered It.

Bo tbe tenderfoot was kept In surprising Ignorance of her true nature. To him she was aH virtue, modesty, kind nesseverything that went to constitute a good. true, beautiful wossan and she carefully avoided even the ase of cosmetics such toilet articles as she feared would be- tray ber calling- By using a good deal ol I'quor she kept up a beetle flush la ber cheeks, which concealed their sallow ue. snd even her once gaudy raiment became ciceptlonally refined. And the way tbe Tenderfoot grew to Idolise her would have made Romeo hunt a.

badger hole, for cer tainly no lover of fiction waa ever more ardent or more completely subservient. But one evening the affair culminated In an unexpected denouement. Bessie, by artful pleading and coquettish methods. Induced the Tenderfoot to let her hsve a sack of the gold ora from the vaults of the Savings Bank. Of course, he consented.

He brought It to her house and there she opened It. eagerly, and took from It a sample of the mysterious ore. For a moment she stsred at It. then well, then ah-laughed. And she continued to laugh.

Jack Bllltnna Tras in the room when tbe laugh took place. He said that he had never. In all Ms Ufe. beard such a laugh such a terrible, miserable, mirthless laugh. I guear the whole cam? mnat have heard It.

Tbe Tenderfoot waa kneeling at her feet when It pierced through hla brain like tbe mocking banter of a devil. Ha never knee? how long he remained on hi knees, but when he arose It seemed to him that he was an old. old man. who had Juat awakened from a Rip Van Winkle alumber. Finally, when Beaale and Jack had left the room he arose and staggered from the house.

The night was dark and the air bracing. It aeemed to Inspire him with a new lease of life, for he hurried to the Owl Eye Saloon and proceeded to order the drinks for "Bessie Holsel has gone insane." he said. In a loud, cneven voice. "She la mad atark mad. I left her a few minutes ago ravin-." "Rcddy Black." the greatly-to-be-avoided uncle of the woman In question, was standing at the end of the bar.

but be only smiled, oddly, and drank to the atranger's health. For some reason he did not draw his gun, nor even offer an answer to the Tenderfoot. Only, when the' latter had passed from tbe saloon, carrying his sack of ore. did the uncle tell us the story of THE PASSING OF THE HORSE. choice.

This naturally Irritated the deli cate sensibilities of our friend Tarantular, -Life, the wonderful Even then we could not believe It. but It was finally proved to ua to be true, beyond all question. It wss a week later that I happened to be with the searching party which discovered the Tenderfoot's bonanza, and with It the Tenderfoot. It was up on a high mountain, several miles from Cnallis. snd in a mineral belt that bad been greatly prospected, but which was known as wortn.

less. The mysterious mine wss a bole In the ground a hole cutting through a great, wide ledge of granite formation decom posed granite, with streaks of argentiferous galena. The main ledge was mostly gran. Ite. with heavy cropplngs of pyrites of Iron and stalagmltlc melanterite, or sulphates of Iron, running through the mountain for a distance of several hundred yards, but with an actual width of about eight Inches.

though the surface indications pointed to a width of about 200 feet. We had always believed thst the Tenderfoot was at least a book miner, but Jils knowledge of words Had deceived ua Of the Tenderfoot himself I have little to say. In respect to his memory I will add that be was a good cltisen, an industrious lad. sincere and conscientious. We found him lying- In the tunnel, with his hand clasped tightly to a nugget of pyrites.

The ramlltar sack, half full of worthless rock, waa lying- by his side. We opened tt and gaxed enrtousy at tbe contents, but no one laughed, it waa all the same granite and pyrites, lumps of worthless galena, which he believed waa native silver, and yellow sulphates which like pyrites be thought wss gold.
