''Oh, no. It's away this side. Looks

CHAPTER ".

Y nm had been absorbed in a
IL study Of the cowboys. In her
own walk of life even the
4 n basest of men approached her
clad in linen and broadcloth-sleek
beasts-with civility; but here were
males whose lean jaws clamped upon
food with the eager haste of wolves,
men primitive as Picts, with less Of
law than Zulus. They were not out
laws from society, for they had never
known society. They were desperadoes
for diversion.
Raymond's motive in thrusting them
out appeared more and more deed to
win applause. It lowered him, made
him less admirable in every way, and
when he spoke to her she withdrew
into herself with glance which chill
ed and depressed him.
"Of course his character is Of no con-
sequence to me-" she thought, except
in so far as he is likely to influence
Louis" The situation suddenly lost its
spirit of comedy and took on a very
serious cast. The plan of leaving a
sensitive, poetic boy to the company
and influence Of men like these became
questionable, even dangerous. Baker
was a foolish and stupid person, and
these rough riders troubled her; but
Raymond, to whom the boys eyes al
ready turned with fervent admiration,
was more corrupting still. for whatever
weaknesses he might have would sure
ly come to be active and vital forces in
debasing others. The whole design, in
the light of this encounter, assumed the
face of folly.
The powerful young rancher, mix
ture of barbarism and culture, engross-
ed her quite as mountain lion might
have done. His action could not be
foretold, and she was amazed to find
herself carried entirely outside herself,
shaken ard dismayed. AS he set to
work to put the table in order, silent
and sullen as before, she watched him
from her corner with intent gaze.
How deeply can I trust him?" she
asked herself. Don admires him. and
he certainly is man Of intelligence"
Louis, who had gone to see the sun
set, called to her excitedly. ard as she
stepped outside the door she. too,
caught her breath in wonder and adj
miration.

about the grimy walls, Of the stories he

what Will I do to feed her?" And, I'M
perturbable as he looked, his heart
yank within him, and If he could have
Hed honorably he would have Gone so
4nstantly.
Raymond took no pains to be noise
less or dainty in his work, but every
unoment told. He sloshed out the cof-
Teepot and sliced the bacon and stirred
I'D the fire, all with a grace and quiet
dignity which opened AIMS eyes in an
EEort to understand him. His hands
were noticeably fine, and the poise OF
a1is head expressed strength and pride
He was very brown, almost as brown
as the leather cuffs he wore on his
Hrms.
Once. when he passed out Of hearing,
a.sshe turned to Baker suddenly and ask
ed: why does your cook wear spurs?
An afectation, I suppose"
Baker flushed and stammered. "Well,

ranch" At the moment he hated them
all with sudden realization Of their
essential cheapness and their filthy
manners.
AS they took seats each man glanced
at Ann with furtive, dev0uring eyes,
and she thrilled under the scrutiny as
she would have done beneath the glare
of a wolf. She had a sudden sense Of
danger. Il am getting close to the ele-
mental man." she thought, and by con-
trast Raymond assumed new interest.
Though his clothing was almost as
rough as theirs, his face and voice be-
t;ayed good blood and refinement. She
wondered whether Wayne Peabody
could stand between such a mob Of
rufhans and a woman. This man Ray
mond dominated them easily.
Louis sat as one entranced studying
the groupings in the sunset light, which
had begun to dim little. To him
these men were heroic. Their physical
hardihood, their slouching grace, their
ruinpled hair, their tag ends Of ker-
chiefs and greasy belts and cuffs were
all "bang up material" The avid glare
under which Ann shivered was hidden
from the eyes of the boy, but Raymond
took note of every nudge, every wink
that passed, and once or twice he fixed
his eyes on the man they called Spec
kle in look which stayed q coarse jest
upon his lawless lips.

in the very near future they will un

ply to treat this amount.
Railroad Direct.
There is one important factor that
has not been sufficiently considered and
it is even more important to Salt Lake
than to Ely, and that is the building
of railroad direct from Salt Lake
through Deep Creek to Ely. The Deep
Creek mines have been developed for
many years and are known to contain
large deposits of gold, silver and lead.
In view of the venturesome spirits in
Salt Lake. who have been making
money hand over fist for the past three
or four years, both in Utah and Nevada.
the wonder is that some half dozen of
them have not got together and or

those who have investigated the stu

Gill and H. L. Underwood located the
Chairman mine in Robinson canyon,
a short distance from Lane City, which
is about two miles west of Ely. Sew.
eral wears later this mine was worked
for gold by c. d. Lane of California
mining fame, who failed in his enter
prise. owing to the failure to recover
the values of the ore by the cyanide.
Later on the Chairman passed into the
hands of the Chairman Mining COM
pany, under whose management it was
equipped with the largest mill ever
erected in White Pine county, and the
company might have been successful
had it not been for the fact that copper
sulphides were encountered at depth
of only $50 feet. This was the first cop
per discovery to be made in the camp,
and this may aptly be termed. as the
launching of the copper boom for Ely;
and which led to such extensive explor-
alton and development work all over
Robinson district and throughout an
area four or five miles wide by twelve
or fourteen in length.
In the near neighborhood of the
Chairman is the Robust mine, for
merly the Ely Mining and Milling
company. but which was recently sold
to Thomas Kearns, David Keith and
Col. z. A. Wall of Salt Lake, making 1t,
with other grounds, the basis for the
Mcdonald Ely Copper company.
The Robust is equipped with a fine
milling plant, utilizing the cyanide pro
cess Of reduction. But here, too, the
appearance of copper sulphides in the
mine workings caused shutdown,
and the property was idle until after
the recent sale.

The Nevada Consolidated.
There are more than six big indie
pendent copper companies operating IN
the copper belt, chief among which
may be mentioned the Nevada Con
solidated, which owns some of the
choicest ground in the copper zone,
amounting to over one thousand acres.
Within the past few weeks, however,
many other promotions have been
launched, and some of them are Ger
tain to develop into good mines. The
operations of the company are being
conducted on gigantic plan, and 1t
has proven up its holdings on an ex-
tensive scale through five shafts on
which there are an equal number or
fine hosting works. The Ruth and
the Eureka comprise the largest work
ings at present, although at the. Star
being sunk, and this eventually will
constitute the main working avenue
for the company in the way of ore
extraction. Besides these shafts, the
company has numerous smaller work,
ings, all of which are being utilized
in opening up and proving the com
pany's vast holdings.
Closely associated with the Nevada
Consolidated is the Cumberland and
Ely, and prominent mining man, who
stands close to the management of both
concerns, recently said to the writer;
