he had told Field on that occasion, but he could re-

at Mrs. Field, but she only smiled and murmured:

Don't you think religion does often seem rather
inadequate, Mr.. Plausible, to meet the problems of
a Wall Street brokcr?"
The Reverend Lionel had just asked Mrs. Hard
ing to take the leadership of the Ladies' Guild, not
wlthstandlng an unusually generous contribution
which he had succeeded in extracting from Mrs.
Fields purse, and she felt that some frank talk was
not an1iss. She would not have had the courage to
speak so plainly alone, but backed by the excellent
fearlessness which Allison was recently displaying,
she could at least give the Reverend Lionel some
thing to think about. p.
She could not account for Mr.. Fields radical
change of manner. 1t must be due, she thought, to
a favorable turn in his business. Probably he had
been long troubled about finances and had not
wished to burden her with apprehensions. while now.
evidently, he felt his feet on firm ground and could
think more clearly. He was looking better, too,
than he had looked even yesterday. Certain misgiv-

health. his mental condition, and their financial af-
fairs vanished. She was willing to r~elinquish the
privilege of bossing Allison and to accept in ex-
change the new, agreeable sense of being sustained

Why, it's the talk of the Street that you haven't

II know what the Street has been saying. I'm
not such a fool as I have been appearing. Now, if
you'll excuse me, I'll go-indeed (Matteawan) I'll
go any way, because l have no more time to talk

of one who knows what he is talking about.
In spite of her embarrassment, Mrs. Field expert

over six feet. The worst is now
over, as word from the reclamation
bureau at Denver states that the
flood waters In the states affected
have begun to recede.
The high water has caused the San
ia Fe some trouble with the Arizona
side of the Parker bridge, the water
washing the banks to such an extent
that the bridge approach on this
side of the river has been in danger
of being weakened by the encroach'
ing waters. Some alarm was also
felt over the possible washing out of
the railroad pumping plant on the
river bank.
About one hundred men have been
employed the past ten days rip-rap-
ping the bank and otherwise strength
ening the places most endangered
by the flood waters. The railroad
company will no doubt be compelled
to put in some permanent work on
the Arizona approach the coming win
ter, as eventually the water may
cause serious damage.

poets of the water soon reaching their
lands and the great work being done
by the u s. R. S. on the Yuma pro-
ject.
Sunday the air was turned ON in
the big lock and the bulkhead broken
out and the real work of boring the
great siphon tunnel under the river
begun.
All who visited the siphon and saw
the great amount of work being done
are loud in their praise of Project En-
gineer Sellow and his efficient corps
of helpers.
The work will be completed the
first of the year, and as the govern
ment proposes to let contracts on Oc-
tober II for the completion of the
main line canals, early spring will
see the Yuma project and hundreds
of farmers and citizens of Yuma and
the Yuma valley ready to reap the
benefits of the thousands of acres of
the rich lands so long begging to be
ultivated.-Yuma Examiner.

CAVE In CAUSES
DEATH OF MINER
Harry Nelson, Employed at the p. G
D. Grass Roots Mines, Meets Tragic
Death at Company's Property Near
MilIigan.

Harry Nelson, who was employed
by Scott Price of the P. & D. Grass
Roots Mines, in the Old Woman
mountains, met a tragic death in the
bottom of 25-foot shaft Tuesday
morning at 1920 o'clock. 1t appears
that Nelson had previusly fired a
round of shots, but they seemed to
have little effect in breaking the
ground at the bottom of the shaft.
Further up the shaft, however, the
shots had loosened the ground consid-
erably, and another workman, who
was on top, warned Nelson to look
out for the treacherous looking place
1t is claimed Nelson did not appear
to be alarmed and continued to pick
out the loose rock resulting from the
blast. After warning him his partner
left for another part Of the property,
and returning soon after he looked
down the shaft, and was startled to
see that the loosened ground had
caved in, precipitating several tons
of rock upon the unfortunate miner.
He ran for help, and Scott Price.
the manager of the property, who
was working in the main shaft, came
to his assistance The two men
at once set to work to remove the
tons of rock covering Nelson. When
this was finally accomplished it wa;
found that he was dead, the rock
striking him while he was in {
sitting posture, evidently examining
some ore.
The remains were taken to Milligan
Tuesday night and shipped to Nee
dies, where the dead man has broth
er, who is employed as engineer a.
the smelter. Nelson was employed
as teamster at the mine, but when
ever there was nothing to do in thai
line he was set to work mining.

COME TO EXAMINE
BILLY MACK MINE
Representative of Pasadena and En-
glish Syndicate and Mining Engi-
neer Arrived Thursday-More Elk
perts To Come Next Week.

Dr. J. H. Fiske of Pasadena
and Frank H. Jackosn of Los An
geles arrived here Thursday morn
ing to make a preliminary exami-
nation of the Billy Mack mine. They
left for the property early Thursday
morning, and expect to remain about
three days.
DR.. Fiske is representing the Pas
adena and English syndicate which
is negotiating for the purchase of the
Billy Mack mine. Mr.. Jackson is
a well-known mining engineer and
will make the preliminary exami-
nation.
The gentlemen stated before leav-
ing for the mine that upon their
return to the coast in about three
days another and larger party would
come out for the purpose of making
a thorough examination of the prop
erty. This party will include an a.
sayer, mining engineers and it is
expected several Oh the CAPITALISTS
who are contemplating the purchase
of the mine.
The Billy Mack has been a good
gold producer in years past, and to-
day has a considerable tonnage OF
rich ore blocked out 1t is said by
those who are familiar with the
present condition of the property
that it is bound to stand a most rig
id examination, as it is in better con
dition now than ever before in it
history.
1t is claimed that the syndicatc
contemplating the purchase of tn;
mine has ample capital to develop it
on a most extensive scale. The re
sumption of operations at the Billy
Mack would benefit Parker to a large
extent, and it is hoped that the
sale will be effected.

REAL WORK ON
SIPHON BEGUN
Yuma Project Will Be Completed
BY First of the Year.-Contracts
For Completion Of Canals Let This
Week.

Hundreds Of Yuma citizens accept
ed the invitation of Project Engineer
Sellew Saturday and visited the gil
gantic tunnel under the Colorado riv-
er which, by the first of the year
will be carrying millions of gallons
OF water to the thousands of fertile
acres of The Yuma valley.
The occasion of the invitation from
the project engineer to the citizen3
of Yuma and the valley, was the
changing of the small upright com.
pressed air lock for the big horizon
tai air lock which fits in the mouth
of the tunnel, and which will allow
the use of double compartment ca
ges UP and down the siphon shaft
on this side for the removal of de-
bris and the taking down of needed
supplies of concrete and other mate
rails.
The siphon shaft on the Arizona
side is about thirty-two feet in cir
conference, and is down something
over 100 feet. Its walls are of rein
forced concrete three and half feet
thick. At the bottom is a concrete
plug several feet in thickness and
from the bottom of this shaft the
tunnel leads off under the river
Both shafts on both sides of the
river are now complete, and the great
tunnel is in depth of 81 feet.
Several days ago the end of this
tunnel was sealed with bulkhead of
den. When this was completed, tho
den. When this was cmpleted, the
small air lock in the shaft was taken
out and the air shut off.
Then the work of installing the
huge horizontal air lock was begun
and two days ago this was completed.
This air lock fits into the mouth of
the tunnel and is As feet in length
and will hold five small cars of de-
bris or supplies.
At both ends are air locks, and
owing to the fact that double COM
partment lift can now be installed
in the shaft the work is expect
ed to go forward at the rate of five
to seven feet per day of completed
work.
1t Is a magnificent work and the
farmers and citizens generally who
visited the work Saturday and went
down and out under the great, treach-
erOus river while the air was turned
