have hoped in vain for q rebuilding of
the railroad, and are still without de-

We were producing over $1,000 per

had the mine equipped with two

Lack of Transportation Facilities
Causes Suspension of Mining
Operations at Old Camp

White Pine News: Charles Minoletti
and w. @. Luckhardt arrived from
Hamilton Tuesday evening and return
ed the following day. The latter has
spent several months in the old lead
camp measuring tonnage for the pur-
posed Ely oldfsld Railroad and just
recently completed the work. Mr..
Minoletti has been identified with min
ing and mercantile interests in Hamil-
ton for q namber Of years and was one
OF the principle owners Of the Ne Plus
Ultra property until it was taken over
by the Bambergers Of Salt Lake.
When interviewed BY a News report
or Thursday night, Mr.. Minnoletti said
Hamilton had experienced an extremity
dull Summer. due to the washout OF
the Eureka g. Palisade railroad, which
made 1t impossible to ship its ores and
as a consequence there has been but little
mining done this year.
The Cornell property. in which Mr..
Minoletti and A. 9. Witcher are in
terested, according I o Mr.. Minoletti
looks encouraging and they have ex-
peciations that it will be one of the
big lead producers of the State. This
mine produced thousands Of tons of
high grade lead silver ore in the sos
but nothing was done on il after the
death Of Tom Cornell, who was then
the owner and was shot to death in
q barroom fight in Hamilton, until
Messrs. Minoletti and Witcher took o
lease and option on 1t and drove .
long tunnel to tap the lower workings
on account Of the timber having rotted.
When the tunnel had reached the OBJ
~jective point, it was found that the ore
continued to go do n and it was the
intention. of those who had the bond, to
sink. but the E.& p. trouble came about
that time and rs it was impossible to
market The ores, development work on
the property was confiderably lessened.
Mr.. Minoletti said that Mr.. L~uckhardt
had made an exhaustive examination
Of the Hamilton and Treasure Hill
mines and had sampled and measured
the ore dumps at the latter place and
had also sampled the tailings piled at
Eberhardt and Shermantown. II the
Ely-Goldfield road is built and comes
near Hamilton, said Mr.. Minoletti, then
the old lead camp will boom again and
will be the very largest producer Of lead
silver ores in the State.

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the shipwreck OF
the steamer on which Miss Genevieve
Leslie an American heiress, Lord Win
thrope, an Englishman, and Tom Blake,
brusque American, were pasSenge rs.
The three were tossed upon an uninhab-
tied island and were the only ones not
drowned. Blake recovered from a drunk
because OF his roughness became n hero
as preserver of the helpless pair. The
Englishman was suing for the hand of
Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back
to the ship to recover what was left.
Blake returned safely. Winthrope wasted
his last match on a cigarette, for which
he was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was dead fish. The trio started ten
mile hike for higher land. Thirst at

but detested his roughness. Led by Blake
they established Il home In some cliffs.
Blake found a fresh water spring. Miss
Leslie faced an unpleasant situation.
They planned their campaign. Blake re-
covered his surveyors magnifying glass,

CHAPTER XIII.
The Mark of the Beast.

tHan ever. lnOugh ND mad
not been called on watch by Blake
until long after midnight, he ua.. soon
fallen asleep at his post and permitted
the fire to die out. Shortly before
dawn, Blake was reused by a pack of
jackals, snarling and quarrelng over
the half-dried seafowl. To charge
upon the thieves and put them to
flight with a few blows of his club
took but moment. Yet daylight
showed more than half the drying
frames empty.
Blake was staring glumly at them,
with his broad back to Winthrope,
when Miss Leslie appeared The sud
den cessation of Winthrope's COM
plants brought his companion around
on the instant. The girl stood before
him, clad from neck to foot in her
leopard-skin dress.
We'll, I'll be-dashed," he ex-
claimed, and he stood staring at her
open-mouthed.
Il fear it will be warm. Do you
think it becomng?" she asked, flush
ing, and turning as though to show
the fit of the costume.

IF it's put up. Seems a pity,
though, to do that, when we're getting
on so fine. What do you say to leav-
ing it down, and starting a little
colony of our own?"
Miss Leslie raised the skirt in her
| outstretched hands. Behind it her
face became white as the cloth.
"Well?" demanded Blake soberly.
though his eyes were twinkling.
You forget the fever" she retorted
mockingly and Blake failed to catch
the quaver beneath the light remark.

| mitted, Just pass over your nag. AID

out big bamboo. There are plenty

I Wen have the signal up before noon"
Miss Leslie murmured her thanks.
and Immediately set about the prep
aration of breakfast.
When Blake had the bamboo ready,
with one edge of the broad piece of
white duck lashed to it with catgut as
high up as the tapering staff would
bear he called upon Winthrope to ac-
| company him.
You can go, too, Miss Jenny" he
added. "You haven't been on the cliff
yet, and you ought to celebrate the oc.
| cas,on."
/ No, thank you" replied the girl

your leadership, Mr. Blake. We have
both tried our best to do what you
have asked of us"
You have, at least. But know. If
a ship should come tomorrow, it'd be

this-er-person a check for his serv
ices, while chase off with Winnie, to
get my look-in on Is Ri-yal 'lghness.'
Miss Leslie flushed crimson I'm
sure, Mr.. Blake"
"Oh, don't let that worry you, Miss
Jenny 1t don't me, / couldn't be
sore with you if | tried. Just the same,
know what it'll be like. I've rubbed
elbows enough with snobs and big
bugs to know what kind of considera-
tion they give one of the mahsses-
unless one of the mahsses has the
drop on them. Hello, Win! What's
kept you so late?"
None of your business!" snapped
Winthrope.
Miss Leslie glanced at him, even
more puzzled and startled by this out
break than she had been by Blakes
strange talk. But if Blake was angered
he did not show it.
Say, Win" he remarked gravely
II was going to take you down to the
pool after supper, on a try with the
bows. But | guess you'd better stay
close by the fire"
Yes; it is time you gave little
consideration to those who deserve it,"
rejoined Winthrope, with a peevish,
ness of tone and manner which sur
prised Miss Leslie Il tell you, I'm
tired of being treated like a dog"
"All right, all right old man. Just
draw up your chair, and get all the
hot broth aboard you can stow" an
swered Blake, soothingly.
Winthrope sat down; but through
out the meal, he continued TO com
plain over tritles with the peevishness
OF a spoiled child, until Miss Leslie
blushed for him. Greatly to her as
constituent Blake endured the nag
ging without a sign of irritation, and
in the end took his bow and arrows
and went off down the cleft, with no
more than quiet reminder to Win
thrope that he should keep near the
fire.
When, shortly after dark, the en-
gineer came cropping his way back up
the gorge, he was by no means so
calm Out of six shots he had hit one
| antelope in the neck and ano.l.r in
the haunch; yet both animals had
made off all the swrter for their
wounds
The noise of his approach awakened
Winthrope, who turned over and be-
gan to complain in a whining falsettO.
Miss Leslie, who was peering out
through the bars Of her screen, looked
to see Blake kick the PROSTATE man.
! His frown showed only too clearly that
he was in savage temper To her
astonishment, he spoke in a soothing
tone until Winthrope again fell asleep.
Then he quietly set about erecting a
canopy of bamboos over the sleeper.
Just why he should build this was
a puzzle to the girl. But when she
caught a glimpse of Blakes altered
