The gold output of the Rand is stead. fly expanding. The July yield of 5s4,. 455 ounces constitutes new monthly record. This means that approximately S3,OOOOOO new gold is being shipped to the London open market every week. where 1t becomes immediately available for the great banks of Europe. Less than one month elapses from the time the gold is brought to the surface of the mines until it is taken over the counter of the Bank of England. The metal is first conveyed from the mines to the banks in Johannesburg. sent by express train to Cape Town, immediate. ly transferred to the Union Castle steamships, shipped direct to Southamp. ton, where it arrives usually on Satur. day morning, and is forwarded in time for Mondays sale of gold, Yesterday s3,50O,0O Transvaal gold was offered in London, German interests purchasing the whole amount at 77s 1OAd per ounce, or 1Ad above the statutory mint price. The mine owners derive direct benefit from any advance in the price of their product. About six min. ing groups control the industry.

Anderson Apache.

The latest authenticated report from the Anderson-Apaehe mine is that No. B crosscut has been driven in twelve feet on the rich ore recently encoun- tered. This ore is similar to that of the carload recently shipped to Douglas which ran better than 10 per cent cop per. Out of the face of this erosscut several tons of ore are being broken daily, or considerably in excess of a carload week. When the crosscut has gone to point where ore is to be taken from the top and sides, it is estimated that several carloads week can be broken very easily. Some specimens from this ore have been received at the Douglas office of the company in the Gadsden hotel.

As evidence of the professional char. acter of the recent bull market, it is stated that last week opened with the best buying seen this year, indicating a larger public interest, yet the public experienced no difficulty in obtaining all the stocks they wanted without caus. ing an advance. Why should the mar. ket decline in view of this added source of strength! If stocks could move up day after day without public support what explanation could be offered of the hesitaney when the demand i'm creasede The only deduction possible is that the wealthy manipulators were very willing to supply as much stock as could be absorbed. At current prices those who have engineered the rise would make fortunes could they unload

Money is getting cheaper instead of dearer at New York as the crop-moving season approaches. It is difficult to lend money "over the year. at 3A per cent. The shrewd borrower can get accommodations from day to day loans at from l to lA per cent. The rise in many securities already has been from 90 to 90 per cent of their full decline last year.

RAY COPPER CO.
 SOON ID RESUME
SUPERIOR & PITTsBURG TO SINK TO 2Oo0 FOOT LEvEL--ANOTHER FURNACE TO TREAT s. & P. ORE --ANDERsoN.APACHE's ORE.

One of the most important announce ments which has been recently made in the local mining world is that contained in letter received in business house in this city yesterday morning from the management of the Ray Consoli dated Copper company, which has a group of claims in the neighborhood of Kelvin.
 Believing that the slump in the price of metal is now over and that busi- ness conditions in the country are on the upward trend, the company is ex pecting at once to go into operations on very large scale and will do so to an extent that will surpass its work before the let-down a year ago. II ex- poets shortly to ship to the ground more than l75,000 pounds of machinery and building equipment and will erect a very large plant, that will be as ex- tensive as any in the Kelvin district.
 The reopening of the Ray mines is but preliminary to the same action on the part of other claims in that dis trict. which is certain to follow its lead practically at once.
 Superior & Pittsburg.
 We are informed that it is the plan of the management of the Superior Pittsburg company to continue sinking its shafts to the 2,000-foot level, run ming levels every 100 feet The low est workings are now down to the l300.foot level and important strikes have been made there. These 1900 and l300-foot developments would indicate that the company is on top of large lense of ore. which is the formation of the ore deposits in the Bisbee camp.
 It is officially stated that the com pany will not be obliged to do any ad- ditional financing in undertaking these important underground developments, that the earnings above normal op- erating costs of the mine are more than sufficient to pay for all future develop ment costs and leave a surplus besides.
 Another furnace in the Calumet & Arizona shelter will be blown in this month to treat Superior & Pittsburg ores exclusively.

CHAPTER TX.

The Cohorts Of Judge Lynch.
Hampton staggered blindly to his
feet, looking down On the motionless
body. For a moment the room ap-
peared to swim before his ewes, and
he clutched at the overturned table
for support. Then, az his senses re-
turned, he perceived the figures of Q
number of men jamming the narrow
doorway. and became aware Of their
loud, excited voices. Back to his be-
numbed brain there came with a rush
the whole scene, the desperation Of
his present situation. He had been
found alone with the dead man. Those
men, when they came surging in at
tracted by the noise of strife, had
found him lying on Slavin, his hand
clutching the knife-hilt. He ran his
eyes over their Mortified faces, and
knew instantly they held him the mur-
derer.
The shock of this discovery steadied
him. He realized the meaning, the
dread. terrible meaning, for he knew
the west. its fierce, i~mplacable spirit
Of vengeance. its merciless code of
lynch-law. The vigilantes of the min
ing camps were to him an old story;
more than nee he had witnessed
their work, been cognizant of their
power. This was no time to parley or
- hesitate. He grabbed the loaded
revolver lying upon the floor, and
swung Slavin's discarded belt across
his shoulder.
stand aside, gentlemen" he COM
manded. Step back, and let me
pass!"
They obeyed. He swept them with
watchful eyes,, stepped past and slam
med the door behind him. Men were
already beginning to pour into the 8 q
loon, uncertain yet of the facts, and
shouting questions to each other. To
tally ignoring these. Hampton thrust
himself recklessly through the crowd.
Halfway down the broad steps Buck
Mason faced him, In shirt sleeves, his
head uncovered, an ugly As" In his
uplifted hand. Just In instant the
eyes of the two men met, neither
doubted the grim purpose of the other.

you with q second-Where's Silent
Murphy"
You devil!" Slavin roared. what
do you mean?"
With revolver hand resting on the
table, the muzzle rointing at the gi.
ants heart. Hampton leaned forward,
utterly remorseless now, and keen as
an Indian on the tail.

The horror in ~s.lavin's eyes had
changed to s~ullenness, but he nodded
silently.
How do o Know"
There was no reply, although the
thick lips appeared - move.
Answer me. you red sneak, Do
you hin I am here to be played

Slavin gulped down something
which seemed threatening to choke
him, but he burst not lift a hand to
wipe the sweat from his face. If

never had no reason to say anything

"Possibly"-and 1t was plainly evil
dent from his quiet tone Hampton had
steadied from his first surprise,-"the
boot was on the other leg, and you
had some good reason not to say any
thing"
Slavin did not answer, but he wet
his lips with his tongue, his eyes on
the window.
Who Is the fellow Murphy"
He was corloral in that same
troop, sir" The ex-cavalryman drop
ped ~insensIbly ieto his old form of
speech. He knew you too, and we
talked 1t over, and decided to keep
still, because it was none of our AFFAIR
anyhow"
Where is he "ow?
He left last hight with army dis
patches for Cheyenne."
Hampton's eyes hardened percepti-
bly,, and his fingers closed more tight
" about the butt Of his revolver. You
lie, Slavin, The last message did not
reach here until this morning. That
fellow is hiding somewhere in this
camp, and the two Of you have been

you. what is ' ,ur little game?"
The big gambler was thinking hard

thought in his life before. He knew
Hampton woula kill him II he needed
to dc so. but be likewise realized that
he was not likely to fire until he had
gained the information he was seek

and 1 do know you now, you lying
brute. You are the fellow who swore
you saw me throw away the gun that
did the shooting, and that Afterwards
you picked it up"
There was the spirit Of murder in
his eyes, and the gambler covered
back before them, trembling like q
child.
II only swore to the last part,
Captain" he muttered. his voice
scarcely audible. II never said /
saw you throw"
"And I swore," went on Hampton,
that 1 would kill you on sight. You
lying whelp, are you ready to diet"
Slavin's face vas drawn and gray,
the perspiration standing in beads
upon his forehead, but he could Meth
er speak nor think, fascinated by
those remorseless eyes, which seemed
to burn their way down into his very
soul.

a more pitiful sight, but there vas no

"Why?"

For a single moment Hampton star
ed at the cringing figure. Then sud-
denly he rose to his feet in decision.
stand up! Lift up FOUR hands first,
you fool. Now unbuckle your gun
belt with your left hand-your left, I
said! Drop it on the floor"
There was an unusual sound behind,
such as a rat might have made, and
Hampton glanced aside apprehensive-
ly. In that single second Slavin was
upon him. grasping his pistol-arm at
the wrist, and striving with hairy
hand to get a ~death-grip about his
throat. Twice Hampton's left drove
straight out into that red, gloating
face, and then the giants crushing
weight bore him backward. He fought
savagely, silently. his slender figure
like steel, but Slavin got his grip at
last, and with giant strength began to
crunch his victim within his viselike
arms. There was a moment of SUI
perhuman strain, their breathing
mere sobs of exhaustion. Then Slavin
slipped. and Hampton succeeded in
wriggling partially free from his death
grip. 1t was scarcely an instant, yet
it served; for as he bent aside, swing
his burly opponent with him, someone
struck a vicious blow at his back; but
the descending knife, missing its
mark, sunk instead deep into Slavin's
breast.
Hampton saw the fash of a blade, a
portion of an arm, and then the
clutching fingers of Slavin swept him
down. He reached out blindly as he
fell, his hand closing about the de-
serted knife-hilt. The two crashed
down together upon the floor, the
force of the fall driving the blade
home to the gamblers heart.
