On the Johnson lease on the Daisy
at Round Mountain four and half
foot ledge of $25 orr was broken into
yesterday, according to George B.
Thatcher, Jr., who has Just returned
from Round Mountain. The round
Mountain Hydraulic company has
completed it's connection with Jetter-
son canyon and the first giant will be
operated Sunday. Eventually three
of these giants (large nozzles) will
be in operation, and it is thought by
members of the company that when
they are all in operation a cleanup
of $4,000 daily will be made. BY the
ground sluicing now in vogue $500
per day is being secured. Mr.,
Thatcher was there at the time of
a cleanup and he says that they shov-
eled the rich stuff with the ordinary
dirt implement The first ground to
be washed will be that of DRY Wash
Wilson on the Combination. 1t is
thought that this will take about
three months. After this the property
of the Round OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES will
be worked. This property is by far
the biggest hydraulic proposition of
the district and considered one of the
richest. Great results are anticipated
from the hydraulicking of the Mo-
hawk ground. Tonopah Sun.

Although the official family of the
Nevada Hills company congregated in
this city Saturday evening for the
purpose of holding a general dis
cussion of that organizations at
fairs, and to post dividend of 10
cents per share, this fact did not leak
out to the public until Monday morn
ing, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Though tardy, it will be good news
to hear that the company will pay its
fifth distribution of profits before the
close of the month, the dividend
amounting to $4,000, being payable
on the goth, the books to close on
the 18th. This will bring the total
dividends paid by this company up to
the handsome sum of 1915, 900 since
organization.
General Manager William Weber,
who has been in charge of the Nevada
Hills work ever since he and John
IT. Hodson purchased the ground less
than two years ago, attended this di-
rectors' meeting. The Nevada Hills
property is Mr. Webber's especial
pet, and has become SO addicted to
bringing rich ores in sight in the mine
that he deems the days away from the
same absolutely lost. He expects to
leave this morning for the camp. Mr..
Weber stated Monday that he re-

 Morocco and It's future is MT.
 Walter B. Harris, the well known correspondent of the London Times. He has resided in the country during the greater part of the past sixteen years and has travelled by caravan over the most of 1t. Some years ago he made an expedition from Fez to the oasis of Tail let and he has written the only good book about that part of Morocco. Mir. Harris has also traveled widely in other Mohammedan countries; he has gone on camel back over Arabia and he speaks the Arabic nuently. During his stay in Fez he was a close friend of the Sul- tan and he has now an intimate ac- uuaintanee with some of the most pow erful of his ministers. He is also closely associated with Sl el-Mehdi el-Menehbi, who was for a long time minister Of war and who as such, through his in- f1uence with his majesty, Abdl-el-Aziz, practically controlled Morocco, Menehbi lost caste when he failed to quel the rebellion of Blu Hamara. He was then forced to leave the Sultan's cabinet, and is now living as a British subject in Tan gier He Is one of the most progressive of the Moors, and will probably he heard of in the regeneration or MoroccO. shall give you an interview which I had with him further on in this letter
 Kidnapped By Ralsull.
 To return to Mr. Harris, he was the nrst of the foreigners to be kidnapped by Ralsun He was living in his beau tful home on the seashore, just three miles from Tangler when 25O0 brigands, with Raisuli at their head carried him off They held him in captivity for more than three weeks, but released him with out ransom. During this time Mir. Harris had close view of Raisuli. He describes him as a man of strong character and a buffer He says that the Sultan has but little power, that he is afraid of the two great rebels, Raisuli and Blu Hamara, and that he has bribed them to keep the peace. Blu Hamara has now about one fifth of Morocco under him, and Rasuli, with a comparatively few soldiers, is growing rich off the country east of this city. He Is, I understand laying up money since he got the big ransom for Perdi- caris. and is buying business property here in Tangier.

But that he was not 1 ravaged by curiosity could not have been said with truth. He was unable to see what distress other than hunger could be alleviated by supping with hundreds of others at either the Savoy or the Carlton.
 The brougham turned into Northumber- land avenue, and the lady broke tho silence.

'I hope so at least. 1 ought to tell you that this may cause you great trou- ble and annoyance. ] have no right to ask 1t of you. I acted foollshly--on tho impulse of the moment. If you will stop the carriage now and get out I believe you will run no risks. And thank you O thousand times for the spirit In which you have met me"
 "You'H lot me ask one question:" his voice sounded serious--"You did say-dld you not2-that you were in great distress, and that I could help youT'
 "Yes But it's desperate way for me and 1t may be an unpleasant one for you"
 This sounded, in an almost literal sense. like adventure with vengeance. At this moment the carriage drew up at the Carl ton.
 q really must have supper, you know" said he
 The lady ackr O wledged the reappear- ance of the note of whimsical comedy by a faint smile. but she was still seri= ous.
 Thank you" she said. ''You shall un- derstand more before you commit your self to anything beyond supper" III.
 It is probable that not often in that great white room. which flashes pink to- ward midnight with the shaded lights of its supper tables. has young man spent a more pleasant hour than did Charles Edward with his fair "incognita." Her vivacity, though he suspected it to be un- usual with her and the result of the excessive nervous strain which she was undergoing, was nevertheless charming.
 'I ought 10 point out celebrities to you. It's thet usual thing at supper he said But there are two objections. One is that there probably aren't many here, and the other is that. as I'm stranger, I probably shouldn't know them If there were.
 Charles Edward gazed about the room. Suddenly. as sometimes happens in

 And, yes. there's Nancy Scott. the American actress, who has made such a | hit at the Quadrant theatre" His companion held her head little l hl@her and turned paler than before "I should imagine the creature comes here or to the Savoy for supper every night"
 "creaturei" said Charles Edward Why, know Miss Scott, and if ever there was"
 Doubtless" interrupted the lady, you will see my husband sitting next to her" Charles Edward leapt to his feet and gazed in the direction of Miss Scott.

 Lady Holbrooke, a Puritan by nature and lover of all the refinements and delicacies of good form had married a man whom one would like 10 call a Bo- hemian If the word had not of late years been cheapened beyond all hope of sal vation. The marriage had been love match, and this fact had at first kept in the background all their differences of taste and disposition. Lady Hol- brookes love of rural peace and calm. and her distaste for London and it's whirl of worldly gayeties had been intensified by the coming of a child. Lord Hol- brooke, on the contrary. had for Lon don something of the feeling which the boulevardier has for the asphalt of Paris, and when country life had pro- duced upon his health It's due tonic and invigorating effects he longed to feel the pavement of Piccadlllly once more be- heath his feet and to mix in the amazing and miscellaneous society which was his acquaintance. At first Lady TTolbrooke had occasionally accompanied her hus- band to town, but she had found 1t be- yond her powers to make even pretenss of enjoying herself.
 She could never go with her husband more than a third of the way into his various "Bohemian' sets. At this point Charles Edward 3 knowledge of the world was not of the completest yet he felt that the society into which Lord Hol- brooke wished to lead his wife was only mildly unconventional and was always respectable This was the more evident 10 him when 1t appeared that all the

When l went to London as the Sultan's ambassador I entered into certain arrangements as to railroads and other modern innovations but the sltua- ton In the country and the antagonism to foreign ways were such that ] was not able to carry them out. I believe, however. that Morocco has 0 future, which will be far different from its past. Ne have a country here which is won derfully fertile. We can raise grain of many kinds, and fruit that Is surpassed by that of no other land Cattle, horses and sheep will thrive almost everywhere and our people make good stock men and farmers. Morocco is also rich in min- erals. There Is coal right here near the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atles noun tains have deposits of gold, silver, copA per and iron The country has never been prospected. but its possibilities are un- doubtedly great"
 Message for American People.
 In closing our conversation, asked MT. Menehbi to send, through me, a few words of greeting to the American peo- pie, saying, Your excellency ia about the most progressive man in Morocco. and I should like to take from you a word Of greeting 10 what we consider the most progressive nation of the west ern world"
 The sultan's war minister smiled at 
 rous and he said:
 'I have great admiration for you Americans and I hope shall soon be abls to cross the Atlantic to visit you. The only message have for you is that you should study this country. and cultivate closer trade relations with #. We have here about fo6oo.oo0 inhabitants, and we are now lars. consumers of eottons and other things which Americans make Our homes are chiefly lighted by American petroleum. and our people wear clothesI made of stuff grown by you. Your raw cotton, however goes to England; and the English do the weaving and sell us the goods. 1 understand that you have cotton mills of your own. Why not make the goods yourselves and get all the profit? We Moroeeans are friendly to you and we would be glad to trade with you: but as it Is our chief supplies come from the various countries of Europe, and mostly from England Spain, Ger many and France"

And I know you're lovely"
 "Please don't try to flirt with me-
 Not to flirt at such moment was 2 course which had little beside eccentricity and unexpectedness to recommend it. Bnt these were both qualities in which Charles Edward dealt extensively, and so he endeavored to obey his companion orders In a cheerful spirit.
 The brougham already stood in the line of carriages waiting to discharge their occupants at the brightly illuminated en- trance of the restaurant, and Charles Edward was now enabled to see his com- panion more plainly. That she was lady he had not doubted from the beginning, but he had scarcely been prepared for the almost excessive refinement of her delicately-cut features for the high-bred boise of her head and for the troubled look in her dark blue eyes.
 Charles Edward withdrew his gaze. Well, here we are he said She peered out at the entrance and the staircase, up

right over the sea and the mountains of Spain were in plain sight across She way We could hear the surf roar as 1t dashed against the rocks below.
 At the entrance to this room stood two tall clocks of the kind that sell in the United States for $500 apiece, and they played the chimes at the striking of the hours. The tiled floor was covered with oriental rugs, the great divans were up- holstered in rich red Morocco leather, and about the walls were cases containing rare china and swords, rifles and other weapons, inlaid with gold and silver. The surroundings were those of a man of taste. and this was my impression of Menehbi when he appeared.
 Typical Moor.
 Let me tell you how he looks. He is T typical Moor of the better class and of a kind one does not expect to find in what Is generally known as one of ths black spots of this black continent. si el-Mehdi elMenehbi would make one of the handsomest Othellos who ever trod the stage. He is tall straight and fine looking, and his Moorsh costume makes him look taller. He has a light complex ion. and, like all Moorlsh men, wears a full beard, his whiskers being brown and curly and as fine as silk. broad forehead with large hazel eyes was to be seen below his white turban. Ills n9Sa is straight and his cheek bones high. His costume consisted of long white woolcn gown, or burnouse, with a hood at the back and the sleeves of this were so wide that they showed his forearm to the elbow. The skin was as white as yours or mine. As we chatted he now and then smiled, showing a good set of strong teeth, and he twice perceptibly yawned
 Morocco in Sad Condition.
 During my conversation I asked hhn as to the condition of the country. lie replied that Morocco was in a sad state The government has practically no con- trol over the tribes and the people are now refusing to pay taxes or to send in tribute to the sultan. The army has dRin- dled to a few hundred troops, and the sultan has no soldiers to speak of outside of Fez. When Menehbi was at the head of the government his majesty had about 16,0O0 troops, and his power was such that the various tribes sent in tribute and presents worth many thousands of dol- lars. Every tribe sent one or more and there were other gifts of value. Upon the last tribute day the receipts were practically nothing.
 I here asked MT. Menehbi as to the safety of foreigners travelling in Morocco at the present time. He replied that the question as to whether the stranger would reach his destination safely was very un- certain. He might get through unin- jured, or he might be captured by one of the tribes and killed. It is a matter In the hands of God, with the chances against rather than for the man. In other words, God might protect the for

more than 9 cents per sack for freight and it could have been sold for Sl 50 in Fez. making a clear saving to the people of Ss.50 on that amount of their bread bills.
 Si El-Mehdi El-Menehbi.
 It was through MT. Harris that l was given an audience with S el-Mehdi el- Menehbi, who as minister of war under the Sultan, and as his fayorite adviser for a long time, practically controlled Morocco. He was in high favor until the rebellion of the so-called Son of the She Ass, who claimed to be the elder brother of the Sultan, but after that became un- popular and was forced to resign His excuse for leaving Fen was that he want ed to make a pilgrimage to Mecca. He went there via the Mediterranean, and after coming back settled in Tangier becoming a British subject. and thereby protecting himself against any possible prosecution from his enemies who had taken his place in the favor of the Sul- tan.
 I understand that Menehb saved a lot of money while he was one of the Sul- tan's chief officials, and that, instead of hurying 1t in the walls of his house at Fez or under its floors, as is sometimes done by the Moors, he deposited 1t in the Bank of England to his own draft This prevented his enemies getting pos session of his fortune. After his settle ment In Tangler he withdrew the money and he has now invested a great part of it in a large apartment house and other buildings there His own home is one of the finest in the city, and doubt not 1t will compare favorably with any private home In the country. It was there that l visited him.
 Travelling upon my mule through a street so narrow that l could almost touch both walls with my hands, I rode by the Kasbah or the governors palace, past the soldiers and officials sitting at the gate of the city and on out Into the country. About half mile from the city gates we came to a walled in- closure with plain unpretentious door. We knocked upon this and it was opened by negro slaves who took charge of our mules We passed in through a sort of porter's lodge. where a half dozen other slaves were sitting, and found ourselves in a great court or park surrounded by Moorsh buildings the rooms Of which looked out upon l. This park was large ly made up of gardens filled with beau- tiful flowers and seml-tropieal plants and trees. One section of 1t contained a ten his court, with q cement floor as smooth as marble, where the ex-minister delights to play tennis with his European friends. There is a central path through the gar dens, and down this we walked until we came into two great reception rooms, where the war minister receives his men friends We passed through the first set of parlors, which are hoored with mosaic and luxurlously furnished, and then came into Il large room walled with glass look ing out upon the Atlantic ocean The house is built on a high bluff hanging
