Atlanta ground is a scene of activity
these days With seven leases in ac-
tive operation, at depths ranging from
25O to $50 feet, it would seem that At
lanta ground is being very well ex-
plored indeed, and the hill looks like
some of the hills in the center of the
camp did in the early days.
The Precious Metals lease, backed by
Wilkie P. Garrison and associates OF
Pasadena, is doing extensive work at
a depth of 73O feet, a crosscut having
been run ON that level 410 feet to the
northeast, where the main st. Ives
vein system has been penetrated. The
vein has been opened at two places,
one 800 feet and the other 400 feet
from the shaft, crosscut for 90 to 20
feet. and now drifts are being run along
the footwall from both points of entry,
for the purpose of thoroughly exploring
the vein. At intervals from this drift
crosscuts will be sent through the ehs're
width of the ledge. The ledge contains
the typical vein matter of the Goldfeid
district, ground up and broken quartz
sometimes in rounded nodules, and NIL
ed with alunite and gouge matter. Much
iron pyrites shows in the quartz, with
some small stringers of grey copper. As
the ground is very heavy extensive tim
herring is required. To the News repre-
sentative the lease looks very promis-
ing after extensive personal investiga-
tion.
The Maloney lease on the Atlanta
claim is doing extensive work at oio
feet depth, in an effort to pick up she
easterly extension of the Jumbo VEN
system on its dip. A long drift is De-

TWO-STAMP MILL IS
Making GOOD MONEY

L. II. Bartholomew was in again this
week from his property in the Mt.
Grant district, bringing, as usual, a
5Oounce gold brick as the result of ten
days operation of his two-stamp mill,
says the Yerington Times. He still
keeps the mill supplied with the ore
extracted in drifting and has not found
it necessary to stope.
The Keystone people are fixing up
the road to the mine and it is said that
eight carloads of lumber have been or
dered and. shipped. When it arrives
work will be started on building bunk
houses, boarding house, Office, assay
office, ETC. Chas. Butler, well known
miner formerly of Cripple Creek, has
been engaged as foreman of the Key
stone, and is now on the job.
John Pophim and John Erickson were
in from Chipmunk Springs early in the
week. These gentlemen have a prop
erty at the base of Mt. Grant from
which they bring good reports. Al a
depth of 40 feet they have four feet

SYNOPSIS.

The. story opens with the introduction
of John Stephens, adventurer. a Massa-
chusettS man marooned by authorities at
Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in
mining operations in Bolivia, he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
and as consequence was hiding. At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Englishman and young woman.
Stephens rescued the young woman from
a drunken officer. He was thanked by
her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy con-

these leagues of ocean"
For life and love! Do you mean

II mean to struggle for it; to do al
a man and sailor may. If we die, now
sweetheart, it will be to lose more
than ever before was possible"
Her cheeks flushed instantly, hei
lashes dropping.
mo, no; If we win safety it will
only be to lose all else. But the
thought is impossible; no skill, nc
courage, no strength of arm or heart
could ever work such a miracle of de
liverance. l will not dream it, for how
could 1 go back, go back to that OLD

into her face.
Surely you do not mean 1t, Jack?
almost pleadingly, her hand reaching
blindly out for mine. you can not
bring me to such shame, such trial?"
"It is not shame" l answered earn
estly, all my soul revolving against
the word, 1T may be trial, but it is
not shame. In the face of death you
have confessed you love me, and in
the face of death l shall endeavor tc

One moment l gazed down into her
eyes, penetrating to the gray depths
and perceiving there a sudden out
burst of passion which she did not
even seek to conceal. 1t was a revela
ton absolute and complete, a revela
ton never to be forgotten. Yet she
did not touch me, did not answer in
words, and in another instant her
glance turned away out over the grim
desolation of waters. / was still look
ing at her, intoxicated by what l had
seen, when she pointed excitedly for

raised in wild yell.

Real Cause for Uneasiness.

There are half a dozen persons In
the world of whom l stand in deadly
awe" said the woman. "They are the
people who have opened my letters by
mistake. l don't know these people.
l trust / never shall know them, but
the possibility that l may sometime
meet them puts me in terrible funk.
How much Of my letters did they
read? What humiliating facts about
me and mine will they have ready
to throw into my face at the moment
of meeting? There Is strong likeli-
hood that being Christians they read
only the first sentence, or anyhow
only far enough down the first page
to see that the letters were not meant
for them; but on the other hand, there
Is the possibility that they read all
the way through. In that case one
person knows all about that engage
ment that was broken of a year ago.
another knows that had trouble with
a dressmaker over the price Of a
dress, and somebody else can tell how
my sisters oldest daughter eloped
with an Annapolis naval student.
Sometimes / feel impelled to write to
those people and ask just what they
know about me, anyhow. That would
be playing a pretty low hand, but 1t
would set my mind at rest"

Use of Telephones In Floods.

New South Wales were caused by a
phenomenal rainfall. Tamworth was

The mayor of Moree was cut off by
the flood and had to wade with his fam
lily through four feet of water for a
corrugated iron roof, where he re-
manned under the sweltering sun for
three days till the water subsidized. In
this, as in many similar cases, the tele-
phone proved of immense use, en-
abling the inmates to communicate
with the town and to arrange for the

in front of the mayors house and had
been forced to remain In the trees all
