CHAPTER XIII,


The walters We're just beginning to
set the tables for breakfast in the sa-
loon beneath the broad skylight. The
crew had ceased the morning "squilgee-
ing" and swabbing forward, and were
busy slowing away mops, buckets and
brooms One or two passengers had
crawled up the companionway and
dropped into seats amidships, staring in
envy, if not disapproval, at the swing
ing stride Of the young officer whose
cheeks were beginning to glow again
with the flush of health, and Pancha,
clinging to her perch at the stern, after
following him with her eyes far up the
deck until she knew he had almost
reached the point where be suddenly
faced about in his swift march, again
resolutely turned her back upon the
Idaho and all that appertained to her,
and found herself for the fortieth time
gazing out over the g!istening wake, and
for the first time with thrill of excite
ment.
The taut trolling line was swapping
and swaying and for astern something
cleaning in the slant of the sunshine
came springing into view from the
crest of wave, then diving into the
depths of the net and darting to right
and left beneath the heaving waters-a
dolphin, a beauty, she knew in an in
slant, and grasping the cord she strove
with all her strength to haul in. For q
second or two it came readily enough,
then, with sudden jerk, whizzed taut
again, as the game victim made mag
nificent dash for liberty.
Again she laid hold, and bracing her
slender feet threw her whole weight on
the line and pulled away, again with
only temporary success, for the dolphin
only shook himself and struggled, but
suddenly darting forward he as sudden
ly slackened the line, and Panoha, who
had been pulling for dear life, with sci
teeth and straining muscles, fell sud
denly back and was spared hard tum

Grabs More Land and Invites Trouble.
LONDON, March ia dispatch from
Allahabad, capital of the northwest
province Of India, says it is reported
there from Yarkand, Chinese Turkes-
tan, that large force of Russian troops
has arrived at the Russian post, Fort
Murghabi, on the Murghabi river, in
the Great Pamir, with the intention of
seizing Sir-l-Kel. the hundred mile
stretch of territory north of the Mustagh
mountains, which was left underlined
by the Pamir boundary commission in
1895. This ruse by Russia would cause
complications with Great Britain.

McGovern Knocks ont Haley.

NEW YORK, March 15.-Terry Nc
Govern Of this city knocked out Patsy
Haley Of Buffalo in the 18th round of a
fast, fierce and clever bout before the Len
OK Athletic club last night. McGovern
forced the pace from the first tap of the
gong and although Haley sent in some
blows Oh the body and head which
would have sent any other opponent,
McGovern did not seem to be affected
by them. On the other hand, Haley
bent frequently when struck on the
wind and ribs and went down several
times from some hard facers. McGov-
ern was the master all the way and cut
out the work in splendid style.

Pancha did not know that the two /
officers had agreed upon q plan of action
to be put in operation the moment they
were within the Golden Gate. She did |
not dream that the thoughts of the 81
lent officer dwelt on her and her past
intently as did hers or him. She was
heart sick, lonely and oppressed With
anxetes such as seldom fall to the los
Of maidens Of Is, yet her heart was
beating with the hope that lives in
buoyant health and youth. She had left
the father whom she devotedly loved
and had believed all that father could
or should be, had received his parting
blessing at Hermosillo and his falter
ing promise TO soon be with her-at
Guaymas. She had been radiant with
the thought of soon again springing to
his arms when the Idaho stopped there
on the northward trip She had been
stunned and stricken when told it was
his wish she should go with her cousins
to San Francisco dwell with them
there, be educated there and without
hope of again seeing him until he could
come to her, perhaps late in the sum
mer She had then been told that his
life was threatened, and that hated
Gringos and suspicious compatriots,
both, were thirsting for his blood.
She had been told that she herself
was in danger of arrest for completely
in robberies at ella Bend-she, who
had overheard the plot to meet the
stage, murder the passengers and rob
the mails-at least that was what the
woman whom she was hidden to respect
as her stepmother had fearfully told
her and asked if there We're no way in
which she could warn Blake How wac
she to know, poor child, what would
result? How could she help shrinking
from sight of the officers she had watch
ed with such eager interest at San
cho's, when she was later told they
were seeking her fathers life-told
that could they force confession from
her nothing on earth could save him?
Yet here was the gray haired colonel
devoting himself to Inez and being kind
to her own trembling self. Here was
the Teniente Loring who had been love-
ly to her, said the stewardess, until he
saw her terror, her shrinking from him,
and now when she longed to tell him
her simple story he would not come
near her. Of the packet and its con-
tents she knew next to nothing. OF
their intention to secure it and, if need
be, her arrest with it, the moment they
reached the wharf at San Francisco, she
could not dream. That that fated packet
was destined never to reach the Golden
Gate, that every plan and project based
on the safe return of the Idaho to port
was doomed to die. no one of her pas
sengers or crew could possibly have
predicted this beaming April morning
as she cleft the pillows on her north
ward way. Pancha was only wonder
ing how and when Loring's silence
would end when within the minute the
end came,

THE BIG COBRE GRANDE
Con O'keefe One of inc Stock Hold
 CTS In Town YeSferdaY.

Con O'Keefe, a prominent business man of Jerome and a stockholder of the Cobrs Grande Copper company of Mezico. returned from a trip to the mine yesterday, and left last night for his home Additional iLtlonnation is furnished by him concerning the mines of the Cananea disuict.
 Some time ago Prof George A Trea6well took a bond on the Can anea group and the property was placed on the market at S200, ,000 Later the price was raised to s250,- 900 and at the time the bond expired, On the first of this month, the mine could not have been purchased for less than S300,000. Experts came from many places to examine the; mine, but from the time it was first offered for sale until the option, which a syndi- cate held. expired with the bond of MT. TreadwelFs, thsre were no definite offers made, the property seekers thinking that the mine would be continued on the market and they wantsd more time to examine such q stupendous proposition.
 But when the option expired the group was taken off the market, and 1t is thought that now the Cananea group could not be bought for less than $1,0 900. In fact, it is not of fered for sale and the owner, w. c.

i Greene oi Bisbee, is considering the proposition of uniting his interests with that of the Cobre Grande com pany. whose property is near by It is likely that the Cobre Grande is now operating full blast When Mr. O'Keefe left it less than a week ago, the smelter was run five hours for a test and five tons of copper bullion
 resulted By the experiment 1t was learned that some alterations would
 be necessary and the smelter was closed temporarily.
 The district was opened 200 years ago by Jesuits, who gained possession of the mining properties,
 The mines when secured were work ed in a crude manner. Silver was the only metal prized to any extent and the rich deposits of copper were not disturbed Numerous evidences there today mark the epoch when Rmintng was carried on by means of arrastras and other primitive machinery which would furnish valuable material for an antiuqarian, and which altogether give the region a romantic and quaint appearance. But as result there are slag piles remaining which contain from TOGO to 15,000 tons of slag lying on the surface ready to be placed in a
 
 of the ore. This slag in itself is of sufficient quantity to maintain the present company's 2OOton smelter in operation for about a year.
 Among an assortment of curiOsitisS carried by Mr. O'Keefe in his va1ise is a large dirk made by Mexican named Tfano Murillo. Murillo fatally cut his cousins throat with the dirk, for the purpose of obtaining a bottle of mescal It is because life is rated so low in that region that the author ities have constituted what might be called a legalized vigilance committee. Murillo was brought into camp during MT. O'Keefe's stay and his effects them was presented by the captain of the ''rurales" as a memento to MT. O'Keefe The prisoners demeanor was remarkable. He knew that he had a very short lease on life, but osten- siibly he was Unconcerned, spending most og his time puffing cigarettes with evident satisfaction and con- tentment The captain in his actions and bearing gave the impression that he was making preparations for a "ga1lino" head pulling contest, rath- CT than an execution. But three hours after Murillo was brought into camp EtS DCdy was hanging Enp aiiu IlI@- less from tree. That is. common occurrence and a typical execution. The law does not place any restric tions upon the captain as to the man ner in which he shall dispose of pris- on,srs guilty of capital offence. The captain is called by the Mezfcans, a .'prefect,'' and his office corresponds largely to that of a sheriff in the United States, except that he is in vested with the aditionll powers of tribunal

established orchard. A date orchard is supposed to be in its prime when 1t is about forty years old, and old age does not seem to affect the trees.
 MT Forbes cited incidents of date trees which are many centuries old. In that particular the date resembles the olive, both being Asia Minor va rieties and both being remarkable for their longevity. This MT. Forbes mentioned yesterday in support of his assertion that the date withstands heat and cold admirably.
 The Arabians describe the date as existing under the most favorable cir cumstances when tits roots are in water and it's trunk in fire" It is a frequent practice in Arabia for the in habitants U transport alkali for use in cultivating the date
 If Arabians are authority and unless indications fail, the date orchard which Is soon to be planted will be thrifty and productive. By my cal cu;ations, said Mir Forbes, 'the chances in favor of the orchard are extremely good
 Every condition necessary to a healthy date orchard exists at the lOca- tion selected Water is within two CT three feet of the surface, the soil is uSdNIIy Wi dlhdll anu Arizona'S summer C4mate will be found just the thing for the trunk of the palm. There is one other favor able condition, the dryness of the eli mate. which resembles closely that of Arabia
 It is the intention, said MT Forbes, when the orchard gets well under way to appropriate one-half of the cuttings collected for free distribution. So without any great cost any farmer who believes he has ground adapted to date culture will be enabled to exper- iment. The value of successful date culture to this valley can only be con jectured. The fruit is easily manipu- lated. It is practically self curing and after it is packed it can be retained for great length of time before ship ring without any damage to the fruit IGe importation of dates into the United States amounts to several mil lion dollars annually, and inasmuch as this valley will contain the only date orchard in the United States, it IS more than probable that date cul- ture here would be extremely lucra- tive.

 pertinent Near Tempe.

Professor R. H. Forbes, member Of the faculty Of the Arizona university, arrived in Tempe on Saturday and was in Phoenix yesterday. He is here on business relating to the date orchard soon to be established near Peterson's s siding about three miles from Tempe Professor J. w. Tourney, also cCn- nected with the new experimental station, is now in Colorado, said MT. Forbes, en route to Washington, where he goes on business of the di- vision of forestry, to which division he was recently appointed an attache Mir. Forbes will be the director of the date orchard and will cooperate with MT. Tourney
 The staminate CT pollen bearing date plants will be planted at the site se- lected immediately. Mr. Forbes purpose in coming to Phoenix is to conclude arrangements for transfer ring the land selected to the the gov ernment It was first thought that only ten acres would be used, but sub sequent plans call for fifteen. The fifteen acres will firaL be sparsely set out WlUn the Mdle pldHlS. IL IS eSCl- mated that there will be used about one male or pollen bearing plant to every twenty Iemale plants. The pei len is not only disse minated by means of bees and insects, but wind is an active agency. It is not necessary to import the staminate plants. Any or dinary male date plant about t--e valley would suffice, but care must De taken in the selection eff female plants, which will be imported from Algiers and Arabia A shipment of these suck CTS has been received at Washington already and will soon be sent on their journey to this valley.

 MADE WRONG RECORD. Tine Phoenix and Mesa stage line service late on Saturday, and the passengers leaving the south side who expected to arrive in Phoenix about sundown were detained at the Salt river cross ing so long that they did not get here until 10 D. m. They underwent a bap- tismal ceremony, tCO. Lew Collins, the prOpriecOr and driver, determined to make the stream in less time than it takes to tell. Accordingly he saved the mules fer the effort and applied the bastinadC unstintingly when the ford was reached. Good time was made, but the record consisted in a phenomenally quick stop. The front wheels of the stage ran afoui of the further embankmeEt, which, by the way, was built more as an impediment than a convenience. and the axle broke. The mules kept going and SO did their driver for about 100 yards before the temper of the mules gave way to gen tie persuasion. In the meantime the five passengers were on a piscatorial expedition. The freight as well as the passengers was fioundering about in the waters of the salt, the passen- gers fishing out the paFrels of freight. Collins didn't tell this story
