CHAPTER TX.
An Astonishing Discovery.


I With one glance around the apart
ment, which gave no sign of being ten
anted but moment before by nearly
score of people, Ivan bounded up
the steps and, removing the oaken
bar, which had been carefully replaced
when the door was closed after Ilda's
entrance, stood silently for moment.
without there!" he asked. What
do you want?"
"Admittance!" was the prompt re-
ply.
"Your object at this hour?"
Speech with you!'
Ivan glanced once more about the
room.
Then with the single word "Enter!"
he flung the door wide open.
A tall, soldierly figure stood in the
doorway an instant, and then without
= moments hesitation entered and,
descending the steps, calmly surveyed
the apartment.
ivan CLOSING the door, descended and
stood face to face with stranger,
whom he surveyed with keenest inter-
est.
Now, sir, the object of this visit?"
asked Ivan as he pointed to a chair.
The stranger, ignoring the courtesy
and speaking in the Enthusiastically per-
emptory manner of nan accustomed
to command, after another glance
around the room, fixed his eyes upon
Ivan. Il seek information Of a young
girI-a musician"
Ivan could not repress slight start
of surprise; but he managed with an
effort to control himself as he return
ed the fixed glance of the stranger.
Her name?"
Ida Barosky!" AS he uttered the
words the stranger unbuttoned the
great coat which enveloped him to
the throat, and displayed an officers
uniform. Then with an easy indiffer-
ence, he threw himself into the chair
with the air of a man who had come
to take possession and was bent upon
something of a long stay.
why do you seek Ida Barosky
here?" asked Ivan.
Because" was the quick reply, "she
was seen to enter this house and has
not since left it. She is here"
Seen to enter it-by whom!'
"By my servant, whom I ordered TO
follow her"
Ivan's eyes flashed. MAY I ask by
what right an officer sends his servant
to play the spy upon defenseless girl
because she happened to be alone and
unprotected. When an officer-a man
of rank-forces his attentions upon
girl who. being musician, is presum-
ably of lower degree than himself, he
can have but one object in view-her
dishonor!"
The stranger sprang to his feet. and
half-drawing his sword, said in voice
of anger: Stop, sir! When you at
tribute my visit here. or my actions.
to dishonorable motive, you lie. 1t
is because I am a man of honor-be-
cause respect the girl, that l am here
tonight. Summon her herei"
Ivan stood motionless.
well, sir," The stranger spoke
with some impatience.
Here she comes not" said Ivan
calmly. Il forbid it,"
1t was now the strangers turn to
start!
You forbid it," he exclaimed
And pray, sir. by what right do you
assume to decide for the girl?"
by the right of being her pro-
tector."

KEYSTONE

The Keystone, the first location on
Bonanza mountain, is showing up well
with the exploration work recently
started. The shaft is down 30 feet and
shows free gold in abundance, the
values increasing as depth is gained.
This claim was located in August Of
last year. Its present owners are
James R. Clark, Jacob Bamberger and
David Keith, all of whom have been
very prominent in the affairs of the
Silver King Mining company of Utah,
one of the biggest dividend payers If
that commonwealth. The Keystone peo-
pie represent as strong a combination
of capital as any concern in the dis
trict.

BOND ON HICKS & LEAvITT

Messrs. Otis and Bonbright, well
known Colorado capitalists, have bond
ed the Hicks & Leavitt property in the
Funeral range, the bond reading sloo,-
900. The terms of the deal require =
eash payment of 100000, a portion of
this amount having been paid to Mr..
Moroni Hicks at Beatty on Monday,
thereby binding the deal. The balance
of the first payment will be RENTED
at once. 1t is the purpose of the parties
now in control of this property to con-
tinue the development work outlined
and commenced by T.. l.. Oddie and
associates, who took a bono on the
property last summer The bond was
forfeited after one payment had been
made, a misunderstanding having
arisen concerning terms, etc. Mr.. Cd
die and associates were well satisfied
with the showing of mineral and would
nave been glad to have continued work
had arrangements been satisfactory.
Fifty feet of sinking and thirty feet OF
prosecuting were done, exposing good
ore. The Herald has previously re-
viewed the surface indications on this
ground and of all that immediate vicin-
ity in the Funeral range, and it will be
remembered that the showings are very
fattering. Much may reasonably be
expected from that section within an
other year, provided the promising
lodges are opened up. Mr.. Hicks left

ECLIPSE

Superintendent Lester let a contract
Tuesday to John Hockey and Alex.
Turner for so feet of sinking in the
Eclipse shaft on the west slope of Be-
nanza mountain. The shaft is down
rs feet on a large manganese quartz
ledge which shows good milling values
throughout. 1t was from the bottom
of this shaft that the first big showing
of ore was made on the Eclipse prop
erty, a crosscut to the east exposing IL
feet of a good grade of material. SUI
p~erintendent Lester has recently taken
out considerable high grade ore from
a winze sunk in crosscut No. 2 from
the 75-foot level, $50 sacks have been
saved in sinking six feet. The rich
streak is about three and one-half feet
in width and is still present in the
bottom of the winze.
When T. l.. eddie recently inspected
the Eclipse in company with other in
terested parties, he concluded that with
three shafts sunk in ore, making mag
nifcent surface showing of high grade
ore, the Eclipse was ready for deep
development, and the immediate order
ing of an air compressor followed.

east slope of Paradise mountain, whica

are the men who will spend at least
$4,000 in exploring the property. A
crosscut tunnel has been started, and
as soon as the annual work has been
done for the five claims in the group, a
contract will be let, the intention beins
to run 600 feet to cut a big dyke show
ing small values at the surface. The
dyke is a mixture of rhyolite, porphvrv
and quartz, and shows values of $2 so
and better. In some places it is 30 feet
wide. Messrs. eddie and Carstairs
consider this showing sufficiently g,od
to drive the long tunnel. The depth 10
be secured will be about 800 feet.
Work has been started.

DENVER

In line with all the good stories that
have beer told about the extent of the
ore deposits in the Denver comes the
news of the latest find, which is equal
to the best. In the north extremity of
the stope is a deposit of brown quartz
about two feet in width that might
have gone over the milling dump had
not a chance panning been made. This
panning gave a $4,000 prospect at least
and the management at once had the
ore tested. As a result the streak IS
now being sorted to perhaps $500 per
ton, and since it has been penetrated
the quartz shows much fine gold that
looms up nicely under a glass, with oe-
casional specimens hat show free gold
visible to the naked eye. There is no
waste in this two feet of quartz.
Notwithstanding the recent changes
in the ownership of the Denver, work
has not been suspended a single day.
When the bond was forfeited the orig
inal owners were upon the ground the
next morning, continuing work as if
nothing had happened, and the present
owners, who have bought the ground
outright, have not allowed the work 20
lapse. There are about so tons of ship
ping ore sacked ready for shipment.

GOLD BAR

The within is doing good work on the
Gold Bar. The shaft, 90 feet of which
inclines at an angle of about IS de-
grees, is timbered with ks pieces, in
a workmanlike manner, and the 900
pound capacity barrel bucket makes
its 300-foot round trip noiselessly and
smoothly. The management of the
Gold Bar has always been conservative,
but it has also been practical, and
Manager Davis is applying the same
business principles to the workings Of
the Gold Bar as were applied by htm
In mining on the Sandstone mine at
Goldfeld. The within will soon give
way to a gasoline engine for hoist ng
purposes, but it is not probable that
the new machinery will be installed
until superintendent Bedford is really
to resume sinking, and this he does not
want to do until a new vertical shaft
has been run from one of the drifts. 1t
is not settled as to which drift will he
selected, but it is very likely to be the
south drift, where the best values have
up to this time beer found.

eoIDFIELD's NEW EXCHANGE
Salt Lake Men Playing an Important
Part in It's Operation

The new Goldfeld stock exchange
bids fair to make a success, says the
Salt Lake Herald. Sessions have been
held for rour weeks now and over
100000 shares of stock changed hands
the first week. 100000 the second week,
$4,000 shares. approximately, the
third week, and a like number during
this past week. Elegant board rooms
have been fitted up in the basement
of the new Nixon block and the place
is thronged during the daily call, which
takes place at 1880 in the afternoon. \
session is a reminder of boom days in
the history of the Salt Lake exchange.
MANY of the same brokers are promi-
nent. and the ex-Salt Lakers are able
to show the ex-Colorad0ans and ex-
Californians many an old trick which
seems entirely new.
Little r~osv-eheeked Dick Colburn IS
one of the leaders. Dick IS particularly
interested in Red Top and Jumbo, two
of the best mines in the camp, and he
peddles the stocks or buys them at a
rate which lifts the hair of the anna
tours. Sam W%armbath is another one
of the Mormon crowd who stands his
ground well in a free-for-ali. sam IS
the company of the firm of w. F.
Bond & Co.. and stands ready to take
all the Dixie stock offered below he
stoppinp point. The Dixie is the fota-
tion of Broker w. H. Clark, another
Salt Laker. f. II. Lathrap is the sec
rotary of and a prominent operator IN
the exchange. He is from Salt Lake
also. One day this week Lathrap sur
prised the brokers by taking every
share of Kendall offered up to % cents
a share. This stock had been slow st
10 cents for some time. Lathrap bought
$4,000 shares before it was realized
what he was doing.
There is excitement and go about the
exchange which makes cash session in
teresting. 1t has not been under way
long enough to determine the effect it
will have upon the value of Nevada
stocks. Some of the promoters here
were of the opinion that a local ex-
change would have a tendency to de-
press prices for the reason that thou
sands of shares in all properties are
held in camp. The majority were, how
ever. willing to have each stock stand
ON its real merits, and the real merits
are known in camp better, naturally,
than on the outside. The result so far

CONVINCING

The tribute paid by Southern vac
mines to the smelters is enough to con
vince the most i%ncredulous that a won
derfully productive region is in process
of development, says the Daily Mining
Record. At present the American
Smelling and Refining company, 1t $
reported, is earning 100000 net per
annum from the treatment of the ores
of Tonopah and Goldfeld, and is prod
ucing more gold from it's Salt Lake
plant than from all of it's other smelt-
ers put together.
While the smelling trust is making
large profits, it is safe to say that the
owners of the mines are receiving re-
turns to correspond. Moreover, AS
smelling and transportation facilities
become available on a larger scale, and
competition becomes keener, the share
of the mine owner will be larger. The
position of the investor will also be
improved by the building of local mills,
making use of cyanide and other
chemical processes.
The mines of Southern Nevada will
not have to wait long for adequate
treatment facilities at reasonable rates,
if competition can be relied upon to
reduce smelling charges. The Amer
lean Smelling and Refining company IS
building a new $3,000,000 smelling
plant on the shores of the great Salt
Lake, in Utah, and the Nevada Con
solidated is building a smelter at Ely,
New, and will make a bid for the Ne
vada gold ores, while the Mammoth
smelter of the United States Mining
company. in California, which is just
blowing in its furnaces, will also treat
the Nevada gold ores.
