afternoon. Their private car. Monte

crossed the desert and the name is very
appropriate in view of the fact that the
party will be given open house during
their stay here by the Montezuma club.
Today the party will visit the principal
mines in autos. What action will be
taken relative to the future operations
on the Kewanas remain to be seen.
