CHAPTER XVI.
THF KING OF THE GAPSIES.
On q rnnnnent LIN watched tn

OR a moment Jim watched the
- group by the fire. and the hand
that held Grace's gave
spasmodic clench as he
recognized the fellow leaning against
the great tree as the man who had
stolen her bag from him that night on
the train
And now he knew that his surmiSe
had been correct about the reason Ter
finding the child's chain in that bag.
When this man had abducted the child
he had removed the chain from its
neck, and, having stolen the bag from
Jim in ignorance that il belonged to
the mother of the baby he was hiding,
he had placed the chain in it.
Turning 10 the gypsy by his side jim
gave his directions quietly and quickly.
Go on as though nothing was the
matter" he said. we viii camp here,
as / see other families are doing. and
when YOU get a chance let me know
with IL when we can, and afteTward
you come TO Ghanton and get your own
child. That's all"
The giant had no more than started
forward wnen the sudden thought came
10 Alton that If he recognized the man
leaning against the tree, surely the
other would remember him, and perhaps
connect the baby's chain with him.
He ran his hand through shis hair alb
sently. and the only possible means Of
disguise occurred to him.
Grace he whispered, awakening
her, we have reached the place. Get
you scissors and cut my hair short
The girl seemed fully recovered from
her tramp through the woods, and
showed no i'll effects except for the
scratches made upon her face by the
bushes. Quickly she took in the situs-
ton, and in the darkness carefully clip
ped Jim's golden locks.
He also realized that he had been
clean shaver when the gypsy had seen
him before, and now his beard, for
gotten during the hurry OF the last
day in Chantons made quite an altera-
tion In his appearance. He relied on
the absolute change of locality TO
prevent the others suspectinE that
he had ever seen this new member OF
the band before.

could see the fellow who had inter
ested him looking intently at his
preparations for a permanent camp
Remain where you are, Grace" he
directed, as he leaned into the wagon
for a moment after having unhitcheo
the horses.
Al nearly as possible he initiated
the disposition Of wagon and para
phernalia which the others had made
near him. and by the time the man
who had been observing him came
over to Atoms outfit Jim felt that he
had fixed up a pretty fair imitation
OF q gypsy camp.
How de do?" said the man. ''Whert

PEELED forward by some force within
him. Then his clenched fist struck
something like iron, and he nearly fell,
PROSTATE over the huge form OF the
man lying there in the grass.
In the silence which followed, he
dashed for his wagon, and with one
bound was over the seat and into the
box behind. His hands grasped the
rough shirt of the king, in a stray
flicker of torchlight his eyes met the
IN second the bulky body was
hurled far over the dashboard OF the
wagon.
"And that TO anyone who comes near

His hand struck the round leather

DOUGLAS. Oct. 27-(special)-
 Reports from Courtland. Gleeson and Tombstone indicate that the ex. citement aroused by the announce ment of gold strikes near Courtland is continuing and that properties all the way around the reported finds are staked out In addition to those which were staked out during the copper excitement of year or more ago other claims are staked and not few of these new claims are To- cated on land which has previously been taken up for agricultural pur. poses and must therefore show exis- teyce of minerals in paying quantities before being available.
 The most authentic information is to the effect that the discoveries, if such may be, we're made while lit tie assessment work was being done. This work was not important and not enough work has as yet been done to give any definite information as to the extent or value of the SO called discovery. It would seem that | further investigation is necessary be fore it can be definitely announced that there has been a gold strike oi importance made and the result oi investigation is awaited with interest No local assayers have as yet made assays of any of the samples and the reports of values are very indefinite as they come from the neighboring camps.
 The following has been received by the international from Gleeson on the subject of the Heron gold strike:
 The gold strike on claims in which James Heron. Sam Berry, Jack Jones and others are interested, near Court land last week, has caused no little lexcitement and may result in much activity for gold mining. Assays showed all the way, from $s to s1O0C tpcr ton. and 1t Is reported that lone: sold his interest for s1O,000 McKin Hey. of the Courtland Meat company is said to have managed the sale. The strike was at the foot of high hil about one mile north of Courtland There are various claims nearby, no directly interested yet.

CATTLE CONDITIONS
 FINE IN COCH|SE

The cattlemen of Cochise county have good reason to smile and be con tent with life, according to the con ditions existing, as reported by Frank D. Moson. general manager of the Greene Cattle interests who was here recently.
 With roundups upon the Green pro perties at Hereford and in Sonora up on the Turkey Track ranch only about half completed, MT. Moson declared that both condition of the cattle gen orally and the size of the calf crop this fall were for above the ordinary. while beef on the hoof is bringing a higher price than ever before. Eight cents on the hoof is the price at Kan sas City now.
 There is plenty of water in all of the water holes where cattle drink while the ranges are in great shape with plenty of graes to keep the cattle fai and healthy until the winterrains and snows set in.

The Stock Markets
By Frank ]. Graf (Member Duluth Stock Exchange.

The cheapness in call money had not the desired effect on the market looked for by the public. but on the contrary that we may expect higher. rates during the week. With the market opening firm but with low call money there was considerable selling with Union Pacific. Shelters and Steels in the lead. Steel common de- clared per cent dividend. but was somewhat disappointing to the public, as five per cent was looked for. The copper metal market fails to show any improvement whatsoever. Anal. gamated shows a heavy decline for the day, as well as North Butte, and Copper Range Butte Coalition de elared a 25 cent dividend today, the first for two years. This dividend had been talked of for some time, but 1t was hardly expected. Shatttck is quiet, although bids were out this morning at 23 for small lots. Dem Arizona is being offered at 475 witl mo buyers. Warrior is in good de
 mand at 6.25 to e.5O. The market al
 present time fails to show any partic
 ular activity. although better feel
 ing exists in copper shares.

GOOD PROGRESS MADE ON COLE
 PROPERTY

GLOBE, Oct. 26.--As yet there has been nothing in the results attained by operations on the mine of the Cole Development company, in the Gibson district, to refute the prediction of many local mining men that this prop erty will eventually develop into a proposition very similar to the Gib- son mine three miles distant.
 A force of men has been steadily at work sinking the inclined shaft on the Cole property for several weeks, and depth of about S35 feet has now been reached. It will be remembered that at the time opera tions were resumed on the Cole mine few days ago the shalt was S20 feet deep. In the sinking of the addi- tional fifteen feet the rich ore that 1 prevailed in the bottom of the shaft has continued at greater depth and the tendency of the material there is toward greater showings of bornite and chalcocite-as good an indication as could be desired. since it shows that in all probability the shaft is entering a zone of secondary enrich ment. This prevalence of bornite, ii will be recalled, was one of the char acteristics of the rich ore developed on the fourteenth level of the Old Do minion Copper Mining & Smelling company a few years ago. The ore in which the Cole shaft is going down is chiefly chalcopyrite and conser vatiye estimate of its average per centage in copper places it at about eight or ten per cent. While the copper values in much of it would run extremely high. it is safe to say that shipments of 1t would return smelter reports of the percentage es timated above.
 One of the most encouraging fea lures of the development work or the Cole mine is that, although the high grade ore now prevailing wa. first encountered at depth of 26i feet in the inclined shaft, it has con tinued down to the present 335 foo point and the shaft eight feet wide which follows the hanging wall down has in no place run out of ore. The probability that the Cole ore body hal great extent is therefore very stronl and future developments work along the present conservative lines should place the mine in the list of Globc districts producers.

4. $ s. MAKING GOOD PROGRESS
 IN BUILDING

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Oct. 26.-Excel- lent progress is being made in the construction of the Arizona & Swan sea railroad from Bouse to Swansea, according to the statement of H. L. Fishel, engineer in charge, who arriy- ed last night on company business.
 The road will connect the town of Swansea, the headquarters of the Clara Consolidated Gold and Copper Mining company, with the Arizona & California railroad at Bouse.
 The grade is now finished dis tance of sixteen miles from Bouse. All of the bridges and culverts have been finished and fourteen miles of steel rails were shipped from the fac tories in the ca October l. The rail consignment is expected to be delivered In tn enear future. whSu track laying will be commenced.
 An engine recently purchased by the company arrived here yesterday. It has been placed in the local shops ] Of the s. F., P. & P, to be overhaul ed and made ready for commission.
 The work of grading is being push ed into the foothills in the direction of Swansea. It involves some heavy rock work. It will be rushed as rap idly as possible as the Clara com pany has a smelter of $50 tons daily capacity finished and ready to blow in as soon as the railroad in finished.
 Development of the Clara mines is under way, the principal work being confined to the blocking of the large ore bodies in anticipation of starting the smelter, as soon as the railroad is completed.
 Engineer Fishel will return to the railroad front tomorrow morning af- ter transacting important business of his company with the local railroad officials.

HAS FOUR [ G. GG G9. GIVEN OVER
 CONCESSION

DOUGLAS, Oct. 27.-(special)- )--
 Railroad rumors as to the building of the Four C's concessions have been rife for the past two days and have led to the report that the story which came from Boston that this concession was to be abandoned or to be turned over to the Southern Pa cific was without foundation. On this point it is impossible to make a definite statement today, but tn- formation should be forthcoming dur ing the week which will have de- cided bearing on the matter.
 The Jones surveying party, which has been encamped near Cananea came in from their former camp yes terday and encamped near Agua Prieta. This morning it was rumored that they were to be sent to a point south of Niggerhead. and were to start survey work in southeasterly direction for the proposed road into the Madeira country.
 Another report was to The effect that a party had gone out to com plete the telephone line between here and Cananea, and If there is any bas. is to these various reports it does ap. pear that the Four C's company has not abandoned it's concessions or has any intention of so doing.
 A call at the office of the company in the Brophy building elicited from Engineer Henning the reply that he had no information which he could divulge today, but that he hoped tc be able to make some announcement to the International within the next few days.
 Meantime the chess-like moves oi the railroad game are going on with the public as interested watchers and whichever way the pendulum shall ultimately swing there is much good in store for Douglas. possibly more good than has ever been hintet at heretofore.

OLD DOMINION E MAINTAINING
 RECORD

The Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelling company is maintaining its usual record of industry. Under the supervision of Acting Superinten- dent George Kingdom, a force of be- tween 700 and 800 men is employed underground and about 500 men are working elsewhere about the mine and shelter.
 About nine-tenths of the ore now being treated by the Old Dominion smelter is coming from the company's mine from the levels between the second and the sixteenth. Most of it, however, is being taken from the workings below the ninth level, as the lower levels are proving much more productive than the higher ones. The smelter is not now receiving any great amount of custom ore, but with the gradual advent of the vari' I ous Globe district mines into the list of producers, the shipments of ore will, of course, materially increase and consequently the output of the Old Dominion mine, for many years !, the mainstay financially of Globe en | terprises, will increase accordingly The present output is about 90,O0O pounds of copper a day
 In the power plant of the Old Do minion, the installation of a large number of economizers has resulted in considerable saving of expense
