to 600 ounces per ten. In no instance,
where development of 25 feet has been
made, has there been failure to discover
moro or less mineral of high grade.

He happsued to get into the elevator
without knowing what it was. The boy
started the machine, and Mr.. Lacey went
wild with fright. He yelled for police,
struck VIOLENT blow at the elevator boy,
and then made jump and tried to break
through the transom Of door, the level
of which had lust been reached. He
fell, and his head projected just over the
edge OF the platform. In another in

reversed the engine just as Mr.. Lacsy's
neck began to squeeze. The car moved
back down, and a. soon as Lacey caught
sight Of the glass entrance door on the
first floor, he dashed headforsmost
through it, taking glass and Sash with
him. Strange enough, he was not hurt
in the debris, and getting up, he dashed
out on the street and ran westward.
