same time the old sting also pierced
her heart, and, with a touch of de-
fiance, the young girl answered:
"Tidings of you did come, but they
were not addressed to me-the letter
in which you renowned me and all of
U.S."
Your father-not you. What other
answer could make to his shameful
demand? Either he never knew me,
or he could not have set such a choice
before me-or he knew my decision in
advance, and my refusal was to seal
a separation on which he had long
determined"

1t would be expecting the impossible

my fear was not vain that the effort
would be made to wrest you from me,
that estrangement and distrust would
come between us while l was absent.
You have doubted me, see, and it was

A sudden fear awoke in her with the

The sultry air oppressed her till her

was also the burden of dread of the
coming hours and the torturing de-

The water leaped and FLASHED. The
fragrance of the flowers stole softly
and sweetly to her. While her eyes
mechanically followed the falling
drops, their pattering and the fra

into the past-this last year, which at

trance, and now, unannounced, hur-
riedIy entered the drawing-room. The
young lady involuntarily took a step
toward the table, on which stood a
bell.
"Florence!"
She started, for she recognized the
voice, then the features, and with a
cry of mingled fear and Joy she held
out both arms to him.
"William!"
He was already at her side and
clasped her passionately in his arms,
exclaiming with deep sigh: Z

Cow Peas and Velvet Beans.

On light soils especially COW peas
and-,velvets beans prove valuable as.
fertilizers. They have been expert
mented with long enough for people
to be certain that. their use as green
manure is fully justified. Even where
crops of beans and peas are taken,
off and the rest of the plants turned
under, the supply of nitrogen added
to the land has proven of immense
advantage to the succeeding crop. It
is freely stated by experimenters that
any kind Of COW pea will furnish
enough nitrogen to the soil to fully
meet the demands of eny following
crop, that Is, of the next year. In
some tests recently conducted, we
notice that the increased yield of the
corn crop following the blowing under
of COW peas and velvet beans was over
80 per cent. When crops of velvet
beans and COW peas were gathered
and the hay was stored, the remain
der OF the plant being plowed under.
the increase Of corn was over 80 per
cent, OF oats over 300 per cent, of
wheat over 200 per cent, and of sor-
ghum hay over so per cent. The
plants that seem to utilize most the
fertility from these, legumes. especial
ly on light land, are oats and wheat,
probably for the reason that these two
plants begin to cover the ground at
once and to send down rootlets that
catch the nitrogen that may be leach
ing out of the soil. The plants that
leave the land unoccupied for the
longest time are the ones. that profit
least from the blowing under of the
previous legume crop.

Last Tuesday we visited the placer
fields in Sacramento Wash, nine miles
west of Needles. A large part of that
country has been staked off and peo-
pie are still making locations. The
discovery of gold was made in the can.
yon by w. Fl. Orr, who was working on
bedrock, or rather submerged dam,
for the purpose of raising the water
flowing below the surface and taking
it into Needles for domestic uses and
power. Mr.. Orr found that in the clay
seams in the gravel was big values in
gold ard at once changed his plans to
the development of water for hydraul
ic purposes, and when this has been
accomplished he will begin sluicing
the rich ground below the damsite.
1t is estimated that there is depth
of over sixty feet of pay gravel in the
canyon the average of which is about
eighteen dollars to the cubic yard, or
twenty five cents to the pan. We we're

same character of that found in the
Chemehuevis mountains. The gold

larger pieces having ragged or sharp
corner on it, Several miles of the can.
yon above the dam has been filed on;
some of the owners are at work sink
ing shafts for the purpose of ascer.
tanning what they have got. While the
main gravel channel is deep and while
the gold may be there in paying guam
titles II will be a costly undertaking to
work it. On the other hand it would
not be at all surprising II many Of the
debouching washes would not prove
rich in shallow diggings. There is lit

G. A. Stevens, superintendent of the
Gold Road mines, was in Kingman
Monday last, having business with the
board of supervisors. 1t is understood
that the Gold Road com pany is to aid
in the building of road between
Acme and Silver Creek and which
road will be extended to the Leland
aud the other mines on the west side
of the mountain, and the board of su.
pervisors have been asked to contrib.
ute something toward the building of
this road in the way of receipts from
road taxes in that district. The Gold
Road company has extensive mining
interests in that section and a good
wagon road is one OF the necess sary
things in opening up these mines.
The board is willing at all times to ex-
tend aid in the building of roads in
the county just so far as it is in their
power.

Chief Engineer Cochran of the pro-
posed cutoff west from Congress has
completed the work as far as the Colo
RADIO river and ross-sectioning will
soon be commenced. The road as now
located will run to the Colorado river
near Parker and will have the easiest
grade of any of the old lines across
western Arizona. 1t is thought that
this new road will have the backing of
the Rock Island, which road is now
seeking a Pacific coast outlet. The
road will cut into the business of the
Southern Pacific largely if built. 1t
will also open up one of the richest
gold aud copper countries in the south.

Porflrio Noli came up from Bill
Williams Fork few days ago and re.
ports that the mines near Planet are
developing into bonanzas. These are
the mines that recently caused consid.
erable excitement and upon which
work has been carried on for months
past. Mr.. Noli's claim has an ore body
four feet in width, eighteen inches of
which will average over two ounces in
gold to the ton. The other mine own
ers of that country have also opened
up good veins, but the ore Is not of
shipping grade aud they are all await
ing the erection Of a mill on the river
to handle the ores. The mines are on
the river bank aud all the water that
may be needed for mill can be
pumped from the stream, while wood
abounds in large quantities for miles
along the river banks. The ore carries
small percentage of copper, but not
enough to interfere with its amalga
nation by the ordinary mill process.
At the G. o. d. mine the drift west
on the 3,0i is now in 90J feet and is
being driven rapidly ahead. When
1000 feet is reached an upraise will be
made to the surface, which will be used
As the main working shaft. Only
small force is being worked at the
mine, but good headway is being made.
When the new shaft is completed
large force will be put to work opening
up slopes and getting the mine in pro
ducing shape. A big reduction plant
will be installed near the new shaft
that will handle more than 100 tons of
ore daily. With few unim portant
breaks in the vein the ore chute in the
mine shows mp the full length of the
drift and carries big values in gold and
silver. Milling tests on this ore shows
that 1t can be dressed up into very
high grade concentrate, and which is
found to be very desirable at the smell
ters.
Mohave County miner., 1903-04-11

II. l.. Harris came in from the Wea-
yer mining district few days ago with
samples of ore from new strike which
he made in that country. He reports
that there are many veins in that
country that carry values in gold, but
that owing to the absence of water it
will be long time before they can be
worked. The development of water or
some cheap power is necessity to the
welfare of the district aud this will be
supplied should the government con.
struct a dam at Bulls Head or some
point further up the river.
Mohave County miner., 1903-04-11

We understand that within the next
ten days large force of men will be
put to work on the Homestake group
of mines, near Silver Greek, owned by
r. j. Holmes, and that they will be
developed jnst as rapidly as possible.
The mines have had considerable work
done on them by Mr.. Holmes and the
group is looking exceptionally we'll.
The ore is Of a very high milling grade
and even under present conditions the
mines would be able to keep good
sized plant in ore for some time TO
come. The Gold Road people will ham
die this property and may decide to
take over some other mines in con-
nection with them to make up large
group.
Mohave County miner., 1903-04-11

A report Is in circulation in King
man that recent sampling of the
Dempsy O'Dea mine, near Mud Springs,
gave result of seventeen ounces gold
for width of three feet of the vein.
A crosscut on the vein has developed
eight feet of ore and in all the openings
good values are obtainable. The own
ers are hard at work developing the
property and those who have examined
it say that it is one of the greatest
strikes ever made in the county. The
location is handy to wood and water
and is accessible by wagon road.
