TIGRE PROPERTIES
BEING DEVELOPED
Mines Of the Fortuna Com

Also Most Active.

'sThe North Tigre mine in Sonora,
Mexico" SAYS secretary J. n. Sanburn,
lis being steadily developed, and while
we have no phcnOmenally rich strikes
to report, still the results are salts
factory.
Development work is being prose-
cuted by a series of tunnels driven in
on the vein, one above the other, 100
feet apart. These tunnels, 219 feet
S54 feet, S25 feet, and 1000 feet, re-
spectively, are all in ore, there being
no dead work as they are all in the
vein. which is the same vein as the
main working vein of the famous
Tigre The North Tigre has 5000 tons
of $40 ore blocked out
The main work at the present time
is being done in what is called No II,
which is crosscut tunnel, being run
from the side of the mountain on the
west and run in an eastern direction
toward the vein. This is already in
2S6 feet and will have to go $50 feet
more TO intersect the vein, where 1t
will be sos feet below the lowest Jun-
mel above mentioned"

Mr. Sanburn who is also secretary
of the Fortuna company. operating in
the same camp on the west side OF
the Tigre, says: THE usual work is
going on in the>two properties of this
company, the Fortuna and the Verda-
dero Tigre. This work is a little pecu-
liar, inasmuch as we are utilizing the
crosscut tunnel that the Tigre COM
pany ran through our property from
the west side of the mountain, to in
tersect their veins. They cut the Sooy
vein and continued on TO cut the other
vein. Now. the SoOy vein outcrops on

we made with the Tigre people. We
are using the crosscut tunnel and are
drifting southwark in the Sooy vein

Ben's outrage made Frank mad
"clear through" SO when the Ki-Yi
obligingly steamed up to his fleet he
grabbed her and with several friends
warded off part of Bens crowd, who
tried to take the boat away. In the
meantime Joe had been fished out, and
after a consultation, in which Frank
took no part he was declared the win
ner--on a foul!
Frank at first had determined to
surrender the Ki-Yi on Ben's demand.
but when Ben began to make charges
of unfairness, Frank considered the
matter very carefully, and at last
evolved an idea by which he thought
he could answer Bens charges in a
most convincing manner. SO that was
why he refused to give up the Ki-Yi at
once when Ben angrily demanded his

told to go and get it. Now the ANA
IONS were a nation of very warlike
women who cared so little for men and
boys that all boys coming to their
coasts were either killed or sent away.
When Hercules. with his company, ar
rived, however. Hippolyta, the queen
received him kindly and promised to
let him have the girdle. But some of
the Amazons believed that Hercules
meant to carry off their queen, so at a
certain time all the Amazons rushed
down to the ship in a very warlike
mood Hercules. seeing them coming
and believing that Hippolyta had shown
treachery, killed the queen, seized the
girdle and set sail with all haste.
After this Hercules went to the island
OF Erytheia (the red), so called because
it lay to the west and toward evening
was always bathed in the light OF the
setting sun, and found a monster, with
three bodies, by the name of Geryon.
Geryon had herd of oxen which was
guarded by giant and a two headed
dog, but Hercules task was to bring
back the oxen, so he killed Geryon, the
giant and the dog and brought the
herd back in safety.
However, when Hercules was driving
home the cattle OF Geryon a huge giant
named CacuS came out OF his cave and
stole number of the animals. He
then dragged them backward by their
LdllS 10 his cave tndI the moor tracks
might show that they had gone the
other way. But Hercules soon discov-
cred his loss and began to look for the
stolen cattle. AS he was passing the
cave the cattle inside began TO low and
so betrayed their hiding place. Her.
cules made short work Of the giant i'm
his anger and brought the captured
oxen home with the others.
In short, Hercules was successful in
everything he undertook. 1t was he
who brought the golden apples OF the
Hesperides to Eurystheus and ii was he
who bore the weight OF the earth on his
shoulders while Atlas, the father of the
Hesperides, went TO discover the hiding
place OF the golden apples. 1T was
Hercules also who after a long comba t
with Antaeus, famed for his tremendous
strength and valor, discovered that
each time Antaeus touched the earth
+ he drew new yigor and courage from
the contact. So Hercules finished the
contest by lifting Antaeus bodily from
the earth and stranglng him in the
air. Today his name is a synonym for
physical strength and courage, and, if
sometimes tasks seem too difficult, all
one has TO do is to say: Remember
Hercules"

r. HIS was Hercules. He was the
son of Jupiter and, even as an in
fant, possessed such prodigious
strength that when a mischievous god
dess sent two serpents to strangle him
as he lay in his cradle Hercules seized
them in both hands and choked them
to DEATH
When Hercules was grown it was
agreed on Mount Olympus that the
most difficult tasks, which ne one had
ever been able to perform, should be
given to him. to see if he were worthy
his reputation of the strongest man in
the world. These tasks are now known
as the II labors Of Hercules.
The first thing he was given to do
was the staying of the Nemean lion.
This lion was terrible animal who
lived in the valley of Nemea, and
made it almost impossible for any one
to go there. Eurystheus, who was CIV
ing Hercules all these immense labors,
ordered him TO bring to his abode the
lions skin. Hercules, not a bit afraid,
set forth. He found the animal. and
after using club and bow and arrows
against ii in vain. he seized 1t around
the neck and strangled it. Then he
whipped off the skin and started back
with it. Eurystheus cas- amazed to
see him. but Immediately gave him his
second task, not saying much in praise.
This second task was to slaughter
the Hydra. This was monster having
nine heads which ravaged the country
of Argos There were four heads on
each side OF this terrible monster, but
the one i'm the middle was considered
immortal, so Hercules expected to have
a hard time in performing this errand
However he set manfully to work,
though every time he succeeded In
striking off a head, two new ones i'm
mediately grew out This was rather
discouraging. but at length, with the
assistance of his faithful servant,
Solaus, he burned away the heads and
buried the ninth or immortal one under
a large oak.
Then came the task of cleaning the
Augean stables. Augeus, king OF ELS,
had herd of 5000 oxen whose stalls
had never been cleaned. The task
seemed impossible, but Hercules turned
the course of the rivers Alpheus ana
Peneus directly through the stables
and they were cleaned in one day
Then Eurystheus said that there was
a certain girdle belonging to the queen
of the Amazons which his daughter
Admeta wanted TO have. Hercules was

the nearest motor boat.
Joe, having leaned down, was in just
the right position to spreadeagle all
over his onrushing craft. which, not
being built for passengers. promptly
went to the bottom before she was
finished. Some of Joes friends tried to
grab Ben. but his crowd succeeded in
blocking their efforts-to get at him, and
he escaped during the excitement.
But that didn't prevent Frank from
making a capture. AS starting referee
he remained where he was, while Mr..
Henderson, the instructor in manual
training. held another stop watch timed
exactly with Franks to catch the finish.
The Ki-Yi. having ruined her owners
chances and caused the awful tragedy
of the finish. now glided back almost to
where Frank stood.
