a wealth of luminous illustration began
with the preamble. hey must have
money. The Scotchman sitting near by
suggested means of getting it; he was
only useful in connection with mines; he
could not be fooled as to the quality of a
mine; therefore he must be fooled in some
other way, as they could not promptly get
the control Of any honest mine on terms
which would be acceptable TO the syndi-
cate and profitable to them. That was the
as being to the point. The pro-
position was as follows: GiIbev
knew of a mine called The Gold
Queen" in California which had at one
time embraced a great number of claims
and covered quite an extent of territory
This mine became quite a valuable prop
erty, and a dispute having arisen as to the
ownership of one-half of it, the property
was finally divided between the two litf-
giants by decision of the court OF appeals.
Both properties retained the title of iGold
Queen" and openings had been made In
both, about 700 yards apart. The workings
in one mine had proved enormously sue
cessful, and that mine could not be pur-
chased. The other had resulted in failure,
and very little, if any, labor was now being
expended on 1t.
Mr.. GIiDeys suggestion was that the
"Gold Queen" mine, which had proved
failure, should be optioned to the English
syndicate, and that while its survey should
be correctly given on the option, steps
should be taken TO get Mr. Gaskell TO ex-
anime the good mine under the belief that
he was inspecting the one optioned to his
syndicate. Although you can't deceive
him as to the existence of paying ore in
mine" continued Gilbey, "you can readily
confuse him as to the identity of the prop
erty he Is examining. more especially if he
IS simply mineralogist and not sur
veyor as well.
Il know the manager of the Gold
Queen, now in operation-number one let
US call it-and | can guarantee that he
Will see this business through if we divide
with him. Number one is known to be
well worth large sum of money and it
won't do for us to offer the other property

hardly perceptible pallor indicated a
passing nervousness.
when the Scotsman got 10 the mine,"
Oswald began, .'the manager took him to
Gold Queen No. 1. as you Tor as wei ar
ranged. He remained under ground forty
eight hours. The manager was cautioned
not to lose sight of him for moment. but
he gave in after thirty-six hours and went
home to bed, as the Scot looked
like spending week in the bowels of
the earth When the manager returned.
twelve hours later, he found Gaskell Just
coming to the surface. In reply to his
inquiry he said he had completed his IN
vestigation and would take some rest.
Whether this was merely blind to put
the manager off his guard, or whether he
changed his mind, don't know, but after
he had seen the other descend the mine
and had had some breakfast, he took the
map which you gave him out of his valise
and proceeded very carefully to compare
it-first, with the boundaries of the No.
mine, which some ioafing miner pointed
out to him at his request, and then with
the map of the same mine hanging in the
company's Office, and which the manager
had stupidity omitted to remove.
"As nearly as can be computed, it took
that fellow just about 1--WE minutes to de-
tect the trick. OF course this is mere
guesswork, for the man himself was as
silent as clam. The profoundly of his
silence when he unraveled our tangled
plots arouses my admiration.
After he learned the game he placidiy
descended mine No 2, the one of which ne
really held the option. He renamed in
that mine just sixteen hours, and all that
time the manager concluded he was in bed
and aleep. I'm sure | don't know why,
except on the assumption that man
must sleep some time.
with the assistance of an old Mexican
miner, who practically lives down in that
mine, in one of the shafts, he thoroughly
explored the mine, more especially at that
part which is in straight line with the
rich vein in No. L.
"He had to all appearances, some queer
theory about that vein. for he and the old
Mexican worked for more than twelve
hours cutting in its direction. The result
of these efforts was lit was ascertained

satisfied that Gaskell coulfnot be tempered
with, but would insist upon making a
thorough examination, such as must in
evitably disclose the worthlessness of the
property. The owners were simply gang
of INSCRIPTIONS adventures, who had
thought to avail themselves of the existing
craze for American mining properties.
Ii was the announcement of the with
drawal of the property which had plunged
Douglas Gaskell into the depths of
dependency in which this narrative finds
him.
As his retrospection ended he sat lost in
thought and barely conscious of the ebb
and flow of the city's gided youth, and
the men of affairs who throng Delmonico's
in ever increasing numbers.
He was all unconsciously being very
closely observed by three gentlemen

The three drew their chairs closer
together than strictly honest men found
il necessary 10 do in Delmonico's, and the
champagne in their glasses grew fat and
their cigars went out while the one ex-
pounded and the two received and ap-
proved one of the choicest plans which
villainy has ever eoneocted in connection
with international syndicate or corporate
business.

MOUNTAINS OF SUGAR.

Huge Quantities Beiug Refined aud
shipped to various Points,
pu1AprtpuN, March 2G.--The huge
quantities of refined sugar now in bond
under the Mckinley bill or bound to va
rious distributing points through the
country are unique in the history of the
trade. TO prevent, if possible, scarcity
Of sugar at any one distributing point and
to relieve as much as possible, the re-
hnerics in their vicinity, the privilege al
lowed by the Government of transport
ing the sugar in bonded cars and from
thence to bonded warehouses in the
cities to which the sugar has been sold
and consigned is being pretty generally
taken advantage Of by the refining COM
panies of this city.
Up to the present time fully $1,000 bar
rels Of refined sugar have been shipped
from this city, of which amount by far
the greater portion has been consigned to
Chicago and st. Louis. The amount Of
sugar refined daily now IN the Phiadel-
phia refncries, all of which are refining
under bond, is over 10000 barrels daily,
Of which number about Z, 800 barrels daily
are being loaded in bonded cars and
shipped. The balance is stored in the re-
linerics and warehouses in this city for
local distribution.
IL IS estimated that ny Apfl tne pro-
duct of the Philadelphia reiineries, refined
in bond, will have reached nearly If not
quite 100000 barrels, or about o., 100000
pounds of sugar. The number of pounds
of raw sugar now being consumed daily
in the manufacture of refined sugars Is
about 1850, 900.
Sprecklcs' rcfinerics-the last of the
Philadelphia relinercs to 30 in bond
turned out the first bonded sugar yester-
day, and will probably refine between 80 o
Geo and 10000 barrels by April 1.
