In miGstream we passed the British
despatch boat Imogene, lying at an
Choir with her fires banked, and looking

at her closely, and said:

for her decision. Why. Brown, put your

Next day. as before, he was busy

OF my friends had met the Evanses in
Smyrna and was familiar with their
story. and his wife thought the worst
must have really befallen the girl-that
from the time Grattan Pasha secreted
her as his wife all interference was use
less. But she admitted that the Pasha's
reputation was of the highest.
As the hotel was not safe place for
any discussion OF the affair. Brown sug-
gested our taking a caiqIe for Scutari

easliy find a boatman who didn't under

fat man isn't exactly built for sprint

plenty OF room. If he has been raised
in a civilized country he hates to spoil
his clothes by falls and collisions.
I didn't make for the butchers gate,
because the neighborhood was bad
enough as it was. and I'd no idea which

Brown returned an hour or two az

Brown leaned against the bridge rail
and asked:

information to-day"
VERY little. I've found that Grattan
Pasha lives at Buyukdere, but that he
owns a more pretentious place some
where in Scutari and rents a small
brick dwelling near the Chatladi Ka-
poos, on the Marmora side"
That's right. Who told your

"Tregarthen's all right, but you

of Miss Amy's favorites.

so entirely unexpected that she had
some difficulty in choking back a

STRIKE IN THE HALIFAX.
Keath Very Hopeful of
the Ultimate Results.

While the recent development in
the Halifax group of mines at Tono-
pah, New, is not such as to justify
him in characterizing it as a strike,
said Hon. David Keith to the Salt
Lake Tribune on his return from
that camp at bonanzas on 18th inst,
connection has been made with one
Of a cluster Of lodges with which the
company's domain is assured and
with this foothold systematic pros
pecting for the main ore bodies will
follow. At the point OF connection
with the first ledge it is highly miner
allied and so far is all that was ex-
pected, all to which the management
looked forward when the exploration
Of the ground was begun. The terri
tory owned by the Halifax has a
width Of 1900 feet, with 5000 feet
upon the strike of the great zone,
which opens up the brightest posi-
bilities, and while the management
has no doubt of ultimate results it de-
clines to anticipate them.
Meanwhile, said Mr.. Keith, the
camp continues to assert its re.
sources, and that its output at this
time is not even more voluminous is
that the means for transporting its
wealth will not permit. Into it and
on to Gold6eld, where the excitement
is hourly nor intense, the struggle
for ground nourly grows more acute.
The tonnage OF freight is enormous
and yet the consignees are ''holler
ing" because of delays. At Tonopat
the senior Tonopah company, tht
Montana and several others are send
ing out all the ore that the facilitie,
for transporting it will permit, ant
while the tonnage from the new CAM
of gold is a small one, the wealth tina
is being drawn down is indeed be
wildering, the rush into town almos
a frenzy.

GoIdfeId,s October Yield.

According to the Salt Lake Tri-
bune Of November 18th the total
shipments Of Golofeld ore to the Salt
Lake shelters for the month Of Octo-
Der amounted to LOO tons, which
yielded $235, 900, or an average OF
over 1918 per ton. To this total,
however, must be added the fifteen
tons shipped from the Sandstone and
treated at Sodaville, netting $40, 600,
which will bring the October output
up to 1910, 600 and raise the average
value OF the ore to over $27S per ton.
When the total tonnage OF the Gold
field shipments and their values are
known the record OF the camp will
unquestionably stand without a par.
allel in the history OF quartz mining
camps, and other shippers such as
the Velvet, Tonopah Club and others
have yet to be heard from.

MOUND HOUSE SAMPLER
Will BE Removed to TOnOpah
When Tracks are Widened.

The new sampler erected at Mound
thirty miles south of Reno,
and of which w. o. Manson is the
general manoger, went into commits
sion on the 18th inst, says the Salt
Lake Tribune. The new plant has a
capacity of 400 tons daily, and on the
Broadening of the c. Il &c. Railway
company's tracks between Reno and
Tonopah, which will have been ac-
complished in the next ninety days,
will be removed to Tonopah. With
the extension to Goldfield, which is
now assured, a sampler will be
erected by the talent operating those
at other receiving points along that
horizon, thus affording a complete sys-
TEN by which the needs of the pro-
Queer are supplied. AS an evidence
that the orIginators of the system OF
samplers have satisfied themselves
on the question of permanence, it is
undoubtedly as powerful as that ex-
pressed by the railway company,
whose tracks have been and are being
extended. Tonopah and Goldfeld
lave, in the opinion of these factors
and the experts representing them,
acquired a permanent position On the
map OF the neighboring common.
