VIII Develop Rex Cobra

William r. Slower of the Rex
Cobra Mining company, left Satur-
day for Muskegon, Michigan.
He will go from there to other
eastern points where be expects TO
interest capital in behalf of the
Rex Cobra mine.
This is one of the most promis
ing mining propositions in the dis.
trict. Though only partially de-
veloped, it bears earmarks of
very rich producer later on. The
ore is of high grade, and easily
accessible to transportation. The
management, under Mr.. w. ID.
French, has done nearly lI0 feet
of work in tunnel aud cross-cuttiDg
and every foot goes through good
copper ore, and they will probably
have within the next three months
steam drill in operation aud a
large force of men at work.
This is good mining PROPOSE
tion and the public will watch
with much interest for splendid
developments.
Mr.. Slower will return in about
two months.

ent level of the sea. 1t could only be
approached by way of the rungs of
iron imbedded in the granite, and ev-
cry wave, even in the comparative
moderation caused by the obstructlng
wreck, swept at least twenty feet of the
smooth stone tiers. 1t is this very fact
that prevents rock lighthouses from sell
dom If ever serving as refugees for ship
wrecked sailors. The ascending ladder
Is so exposed the sea usually so tur-
bulent under the least stress of wind,
that no human being can retain hand
hold or footing.
Yet there was one faint chance of
succor, and It was not sailor who
grasped it, The first that Brand knew
of the desperate venture was the sight
of spectral man climbing up the
shrouds of the foremast. On Il steamer,
whose yards are seldom used for sails,
the practicable rope ladder ceases at
the fore, main or mizzen top, as the
case may be. Thenceforward a sailor
must climb with hands and feet to the
truck, feat which may occasionally
be necessary when the vessel Is In
dock. 1t is hardly ever attempted at
sea.
The venturesome individual who thus
suddenly made himself the center of
observation carried line with him.
Not until he essayed the second portion
of his perilous ascent did Brand realize
what the other intended to do, which
was nothing less than to reach the
truck, the very top Of the mast, and ell
deavOr to throw a rope to the gallery.
And he might succeed, too-that was
the marvel Of it. The tapering spar
came very near to them, perhaps
twelve feet distant, and the wind
would certainly carry the rope across
the, chasm if carefully thrown A few
strong and active men might use this
aerial ferry. Well, better they than
none. Brave fellow! Would that the
Lord might help him.
Higher and nearer swung the stall
wart youngster, for none but n 1.-THE
and active boy could climb a pole with
such easy vigor. At last he reached
the truck and a family heard cheer
from beneath mingled with the hyster-
ical delight Of Enid and Constance,
when, with legs twined round the mast,
he rested his arms for an instant on
the fiat knob Of the truck.
Here his face came into the lower
focus of the light-strong, clean shay
en-, clear cut features, square, de-
termined chin, two dark, earnest eyes
and a mop Of ruflled black hair, for
his deerstalker cap had blown off ere
he cleared the spar deck.
Look out for the line" they heard
him shout. The wind brought his voice
plainly, but evidently he could distin-
guish no syllable of Brands answering
hail:
'Shall | make fast?"
Cant hear a word" he cried. "If
you can hear me hold hand up"
Brand obeyed.
"Catch the line" he went on. 1T Is
attached to block with running
tackle. Haul in and make fast"
"The megaphonew shouted Brand to
Constance. She darted away to bring
It, and when the adventurer clngng
to the foremast had thrown coil sue
cessfully, Brand took the instrument.
"Why don't you come this way? The
others will follow" he beloved.
"There are women and children
down below. They must be saved first
and they cannot climb the mast" was
the reply. ...---

CHAPTER VII.

T lust as the spin of a coin may
mean loss or gain In some
trumpery dispute or game Of
u the hour, In like manner ap-
parently are the graver issues of life
or death determined at times. 1t is not
so, we know. Behind the triviality on
which men fasten with amazement as
the governing factor in events there
lies an inscrutable purpose. Yet, to
those watching the destruction of the
splendid vessel, there was little evil
dence of other than blind fury in the
fashion Of her undoing.
The hoarse words had scarce left
Brands lips before third wave, high
er and more truculent than its prede-
cessors, sprang right over the lost ship
and smothered her in an avalanche Of
water. No doubt this monster swept
away some of the officers and crew. 1t
was impossible to be certain of aught
save the one thing-that the steamer
would surely break up before their
eyes. The wind, now blowing in fierce
gusts; the sea, rising each minute; the
clouds Of spray chasing each other in
eerie flights through space; the grind

point to be determined was occupying
the active mind of the american
ydungster" who had solved the knot
ticst proposition put forward during
that evcntful night.
He watched the forwarding Of the
shrieking, shuddering or inanmate wo-
men. He timed the operation by his
watch, as the reflected light from the
lamp was quite sufficient for the pur-
pose.
Then he approached the captain.
''Say, skipper" he cried, "how long
do you give the remains of her to hold
out?"
at Is not high water yet" was the
answer. Perhaps half an hour. Forty
minutes at the utmost"
"Then you'll have to boost this thing
along good deal faster said the
cheerful one. "They're going up now
at the rate Of one every two minutes.
That's thirty in half an hour. Fifty Of
us will travel heap quicker at the end
of that time IL your calculation holds
good"
The captain. who appeared to be In
stupOr of grief, reused himself.
A few short and sharp orders chang
ed the aspect Of affairs. Frightened
and protesting ladies were securely
tied together and hoisted. four at a
time, like so many bags of wheat.
When Il came to the mems turn even
less ceremony and greater expedition
were used.
Indeed, already there were emphatic
warnings that much valuable time had
been lost In the early stage Of the res
cue. Though the wind was now only
blowing stiff gale the sea, lashed to
frenzy by the hurricane, was heavier
than ever. The ship was vanishing WIS.,
ibly. A funnel fell with a hideous
crash and carried away lifeboat.
The rest Of the spar deck and nearly
the whole Of the forward cabins were
torn out bodily. BY repeated humping
on the reef the vessel had settled back
almost on to an even keel, and the fore
mast, which had so providentially near
ed the summit of the lighthouse, was
now removed far beyond the possibility
Of rope being thrown.
The survivors on deck worked with
feverish energy. The time was draw
Ing short. They did not know the sec
Ond that some unusually tempestuous
wave would devour them utterly.
'Now, Mr.. Pyne, you next" cried the
chief officer, addressing the young Phil
adelphian, who, mirabile dictu, had
found and lighted a cigar.
"Guess I'll swing up along with the
captain" was the answer.
"Up with himv shouted the captain
fercely, himself helping to loop Pyne
TO the fourth officer.
All others had gone. The officers
were leaving the ship in order of SEN
iorlty, the juniors first. Just as the
quartet were about to swing clear Of
the ship the captain grasped Pyne's
hand.

told Enid to take several turns of the

Meanwhile. Constance and he saw
that the rope was moving through the

| through the whirling scud beneath they
made out an ascending figure clinging
to 1t. Soon he was close to the gallery.

lifted him into safety. He was one of

from one to the other of the seeming
