CHAPTER Y.

@HE church bells were ringing
their first warning for the
morning service when Mandy
peeped into the spare bedroom
for the second time and glanced eau
tiously at the wisp Of hair that bespoke
q feminine head somewhere between
the covers and the little white pillow
on the four poster bed. There was no
sound from the sleeper. so Mandy ven
tured across the room on tiptoe and
raised the shades The dropping
boughs of autumn foliage lay SHIN
mering against the window panes, and
through them might be seen the gray
outline of the church. Mandy glanced
again toward the bed to make sure
that the burst Of sunlight had not

a small, rickety chair laden with the
discarded finery of the little circus

to the old fashioned bureau which for
many months had stood unused against

A GREAT FUTURE
FOR GLENDALE

Just as surely as they know that
the sun will rise on the morrow are
the operators of the Glendale dis
trict confident that that camp will
resolve itself into one of the biggest
propositions On the southern Ne
vada desert.
Last night Thomas Kenyon
Lynch and L. L. Blumenthal arrived
in Tonopah after having spent the
day in the new camp where they are
interested in a lease. Mr.. Lynch
and Mr.. Blumenthal were both seen
by representative of the Bonanza
Their enthusiasm actually knows no
bounds. Mr.. Blumenthal stated that
a big town was springing up and
that the growth of Glendale since
his last visit was nothing short of
marvellous. There are a great many
idle men there at the present time
as naturally follow every big excite
ment. While Mr.. Blumenthal is not
authority for the statement, the Bo-
nanza takes it that the new camp is
no place at this time for men who
are seeking employment. There are
plenty of men there at this time to
do all the work that is at present
required in the camp.
From all that can be learned, the
different prospects are looking ex-
ceedingly fine. The main strike is
being sunk upon, while a tunnel is
being driven which will encounter
the ledge at a depth of probably
seventy feet. A distance of sixty feet
will have to be run before reaching
the ledge. The result of this work
is anxiously awaited. Should the
lodges maintain their present values
at depth. Glendale will develop into
the greatest camp tais state has
ever seen.
Mr.. Lynch states that he believes

encountered some very rich material

FIREMEN ASK
Higher WAGES
BOYS WHO SHOVEL COAL ON
THE SALT LAKE DIVISION
HAVE GRIEVANCE.

Superintendent E. c. Manson and
other officials of the Salt Lake d.
vision are devoting a good deal of
time at present to conference with
representatives of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen regarding
changes in pay schedules asked for
by firemen on the Salt Lake di-
vision, says the Ogden Standard. 1t
is understood these demands are &C.
casioned by heavy freight trains on
districts between Ogden and Sparks,
but no details are given out at pres
ent as to the exact nature of the
schedule asked for by the muscular
boys who shovel coal and make
steam and motive power to success
fully handle trains from fifty to
eighty, ninety and even 100 cars.
Following state law enacted in
Nevada last winter, third brake
man is added to all freight crews
where more than fifty cars comprise
one train, but no provision was made
by the sagebrush solons for extra
men with the engine crews on these
ponderously heavy trains. AS re-
suit there is a vigorous protest from
the firemen who are compelled to
throw more fuel than ever before,
with no increase in the mileage pay
The conference is being held in
Salt Lake and has been on for the
past week or ten days with pros
pect of an early adjustment of the
trouble.
