which is now under the course of
construction. This property has
enough ore in sight to keep the mill
running full capacity for fifteen years
to come.
Mr.. Peterson is interested in the
Wolf mill in Manhattan and. left for
that camp last night. He will return
today and leave tomorrow morning
for New York. When the. power line
is completed Mr.. Peterson will i'm
mediately start operations in the
mill, which, is considered one of the
best in southern Nevada. During the
past summer the values extracted
from the ores averages over 80 per
cent. Should the enlargement of the
mill be demanded it is constructed in
such a way that additional stamps
can be added without the slightest
inconvenience.

EHEATER
SPOKANE

No musical comedy with SOLO
list of the calibre of Edward Mar
tindel can fail to please, and THE
Alaskan" which opened last night
at the Spokane, proved as thor
oughly enjoyable as it was on its
previous appearance here, al
though it has been modified to
some extent and several new num-
bers interspersed through the pro-
gram. The Totem Pole song and
"Arlee" maintained their place as
the favorites, while THE Moth and
the Bundle Bee" was recalled
many times. Lora Lieb as Arlee
displayed both a sweet voice and
ability. Fritzie Won Busting as
Mrs. Good-Better-Best added charm
to the performance. The comedy
was we'll taken care of by Dick
Fitzgerald, William Fables as the
Teddy Bear and j. Hunter Wilson
as the fossil hunter. The Alaskan"
will be repeated tonight and
throughout the week, closing Sun
day evening.

APPLE SHOW

The National Apple show, which
proved a big success from every
standpoint except in a financial
way, Will be held again next win
ter. This was the decision OF a
Joint committee representing the
chamber of commerce, the apple
show and the national irrigation
congress last night. The commit
tee heartily favored the repetition
of the show and declared it should
be made an annual event in Spo-
kane. Ways and means will be
found to properly finance the I'M
dertaking.
The joint committee also ar
ranged for the big irrigation con-
gress and to advertise Spokane
and the Inland empire extensively

Mr.. Prayer nodded excitedly, and
his face grew red as he spoke, max

Miss Prayer rose from the table.
Come, Ethel she said. With a
warning shake of the finger, she
passed through the glass door
opening upon the veranda.
Mr.. Prayer pushed the cigar box
toward his guests.

this is something like comfort"
The girl dropped gracefully upon
the pine needles, closed her eyes
and lay on her side, cushioning her
head upon one arm and allowing
the other to droop in an attitude Of
complete relaxation.
Maddox suddenly rose to sit
ting posture, tapped the ashes from
his pipe, and blew through its stem.

revolution" he began, slowly, be

and grass widows are deadly"
1--WE met a few and still live"
drawled Maddox; "but this one
wasn't the familiar variety. She
had brains as well as beauty, and
character of very unusual quality.
The husband was a morphine
drunkard and a worthless specimen
generally. She hadn't lived with
him for some time. there were no
children and she wanted an abso-
lutte divorce. All this was, Of course,
the old, old story, but the fact that
she wanted no alimony and pro
posed to earn her own living, ask
ing no aid from her husband, was a
new experience to me. The man in
the case was exceedingly wealthy,
and as far as l could make out the
woman didn't have a surplus penny
in the world. Her stand was
quixotic, perhaps, but one only
needed to look at her face apd read
the purpose in her eyes-gray eyes,
with dark brown lashes; the most
remarkable contrast l have ever
seen-to feel in entire sympathy
with her resolution. And what do
you think she offered me by way of
retainer? Nothing less than a
bank book with a neat little bal
ance in her maiden name-the re-
suit of her savings when she
earned her own living, first as a
stenographer and then as the Sec
rotary of a man whom think you
both know"
THAT was certainly an excep-
tional case" commented Mr..
Prayer. "Why didn't you take 1t to
prove your ruler"
II don't care for that class of
business, and l may have to make
an exception for some one l know.
This woman l never met before she
consulted me. Moreover, she had
been residing for some time with
her people in Rhode Island, and
that is a more liberal divorce state
than New York. So l advised her
to begin proceedings there"
What do you suppose the woman
wanted a divorce for?" asked the
older man, "if she wasn't living
with the man and didn't want his
money? Did she want to marry
somebody else?"
Maddox shrugged his shoulders.
Il don't know" he answered.
But if I'm not mistaken, she had
experienced the first great love of
her life, and the degradation of her
loveless marriage had become intol-
cradle. At all events, if a man in
spired what l saw in that woman's
face he's a fortunate fellow. l hope
he is worth it,
Evans suddenly rose and moved
towar dthe veranda.
"Sit down." called the host.
Your cigar isn't finished yet. Well
all right; tell the girls we'll be out
directly. l want Dave to listen to
a story worth hearing"

why are you so particularly in
terested in the French revolution? ?"
Miss Harmony Prayer gazed in
quiringly at her companion. But
Maddox did not seem to hear her.
He was lying stretched out, his
chin in his hands, his pipe in his
mouth, and his elbows sunk in the
brown pine needles which cush-
toned the little forest clearing.
Even when Miss Prayer repeated
her question ne did not answer, but
continued gazing dreamily into the
trees.
So intense was the stiffness that
a dried pine needle falling upon
Miss Prayers book was almost
startlingly audible, and Maddox
turned quickly.
