Denver, Colo. March Diamond
drill exploration has again resulted
in the discovery Of high grade ore in
the Camp Bird mine, Oaray Q ,unty.
An ore body IL feet III thick ness was
recently encountered 20U feet west Of
the present workings in what is saia
TO the Colorado vein Between this
ose and the sarface, there is from
JU TO 800 feet of groand. The
opportune character Of the strike 10
shown BY the fact that for year or
more, according to the last annual
report, the workings advanced into
Rew territory had revealed no ore
bodies of even meager Importance.
The development in the main ore
channels had added approximately
one million dollars to the net value
in the reserves, but 30 far - high
grade ore was concerned there seem
ed to be sn approach to the end.
The conditions were similar TO those
existing when the present company
secured the mine under option from
the late Thos Il. Walsh. At that
time, there were no indications that
new ore BODIES would he found, but
they we're located by diamond drill
exploration sRd determined the par-
chase. Since then the mine has
earned approximately $l2,OO0,0OO
net, and apparently, from the dis
covery just reported, there is reason
TO expect that the life of the mine
will be indefinitely extended.
Extensive development is in pro-
gress on several large mine near the
Camp Bird in the SneffeIs district.
About $50 men are employed in the
mine and mill at the Revenue. Most
of the new work 10 on the Montana
vein, which promises to rival the
Virginios.
An adjustment satisfactory to the
shippers has beon reached at Lead
vile by the buyers and producers Of
zinc ore. The decision of the smel-
tiers TO make some charges in their
schedules that would reduce the pro-
fit, especially on oxidized zinc ore,
was followed by temporary suspen-
sion Of work by . number of the
larger producers. Now however,
the smelters have agreed to stick to
the old rates, and work has been re-
sumed, with a prospect of an early
increase in production.

welt tunnel in the Cripple Creek dis

In the Fsller crosscut, which is being
driven from the tunnel to the c. X.

countered is yielding . fow of 800

In January STATIONS Independ-
ence mill treated 9,6l9 tone of ore of
an average value Of e340 per ton.
This was the banner month for the
mill. From the mine about 1000
tons per month is being shipped.
The grade viii average about e27
per ton. The ore shipped by the
leasers will average e35 per ton.

UThe scene before his eyes was beau
tiul, with that stupendous beauty that
only the arctic can attain. The har-
Dor and beyond It. far out to sea-
clear to the horizen. was filled with
great plunging. churning masses OF
ice. all drenched In color by the low
hanging arctic sun-violet, rose, pure
golden.yellow and emeraldsreen. and
4 white whose incandescence fairly
stabbed the eye. And as those
great moving masses ground together.
they flung. high into the air. broad
shimmering wells Of rose-colored
spray.
OF the noe. which they had consid-
cred stable as the land itself, there
was no longer any sign. There was
nothing there. nothing at all to greet
their eyes. to seaward. but the savage
beauty Of the ice.
The yacht had disappeared.

then he paused. moistened his lips and
rubbed them roughly with his hand
How long" he repeated. shall We
have to wait before It opens up?"
TT won't open up again this sea-
son-not II I know anything about the
arctic" said the captain.
1T will freeze. though" Mr.. Fan
shaw said. "freese into . solid pack

IT'S hard to tell. Generally In this
latitude the pack II pretty solid BY
the nrst of September. But that
warm current which caught Fleiding's
ship, which caught the Walrus-ths
current which makes. every summer
apparently. that long gap Of open wa
ter which enabled Us to reach the
land that Fielding reachsd-that cur
rent would keep loose nsld.iee floating
about for At least another month"
Tom Fanshaw's eyes had almost the
light Of madness in them. But she
can't live . MONTH" he cried. She's
alone. unarmed! She has no food: no
shelter but those bare huts!"
THE Walrus people doubtless left
some stores there. II she could md
them" said Captain Warner. But,
still. what you say IL perfectly true.
She can hardly hope to keep . live q
week"
Then" said Tom. In dull. passion
ate rebellion-"then. in some way or
other. We must 90 back to her. II you
won't go-if you won't take the Au-
rora back, I'll take one Of the little
boats and 20 myself"
IF you want to commit suicide"
said Captain Warner. you could do It
less painfully with q revolver. Tho
small boat would not live 50 seconds
after we put her over the side. You
know that, II you are not mad As
for the Aurora herself. II she had not
been built the way she is. she would

had gone . ships length. and leave Us
helpless In the event Of our ever fnd-

to nnd It, but there's chance that we
will. There are more than 80 lives
that I am responsible for aboard this

upon his great sheepskin. warming
their fingers and watching tho drip
OF the melting Ice in the biscuit tin.
But presently Cayley got to his feet
''Breakfast!" he said.
''Is there to be anything besides n
good big drink Of water apiece? II
there isn't. I'd rather not think about
1t until the yacht comes back"
'Unless I'm mistaken. there's an
excellent breakfast waiting for us not
far from where we got the Tc-wood.
But I'll go and make sure before l
raise your expectations any higher"

without waiting for any reply: then.
thinking suddenly OF something else.
he came swiftly back again.
DO you know anything about FRO
arms?" he asked. III you're accus-
toned to shooting. I'll leave my re-
volver with you.-No." he went on.
answering the question which she had
not spoken-'no. I don't foresee any
danger to you. It's Just on general
principles"
I'm pretty good shot. But II
=
for our breakfast and there isn't any
foreseeable danger to me in being left
alone. It seems reasonable that you
should take the gun"
He took the revolver from his belt
however. and held II out TO her. Our
breakfast doesn't have to be shot. And
as C. concession to my feelings-no.
It's nothing more than that-rd rather
you took It."
She did as he asked without further
demur. and he went away. When she
was left alone. the girl added fresh
sticks to the FIRE. and then. in default
OF any more active occupation. took
up the red bound book which lay be-
side her and began once more to pc
ruse Its pages. She had by no means
!! exhausted them. In her reading OF
the night before. she had skipped the
pages OF scientific description for
those parts OF the journal which wero
most purely personal. Even now the
whole pages OF carefully tabulated
data concerning the winds. currents.
temperature. and magnetic variations
got scant attention. In her present
mood the homeliest little adventure.
the idlest diversion OF a winters day
meant more to her than all her IA
TIERS discoveries put together. When
she saw Cayley coming back toward
her across the Ice. she put the book
down half reluctantly.
Evidently his quest for breakfast
had not been in vain: he had a big
black and white bird In his hand. DO
you suppose It's At to eat? she
called out to him. How in the world
did you manage to kill 1t without tho
revolver"
FIT to eat! It's a duck. What's
more. It's an elder. which means that
her coat Is worth saving"
But how did you contrive to kill
herr"
81 didn't She killed herself. She
was flying too low last night. I sup
pose-going down the gale. and in the
fog she went smack into the side OF
the cliff and broke her neck. That was
very destructive storm for the birds.
There must be 80 OF them. OF one kind
and another. lying dead there along
the top OF the talus. at the foot OF the
cliff"

they could get back to shore. or some
OF them may have been captured. No.
really don't think you need worry
about them"
She drew n long deep breath, flung
out her arms wide. and then stretched
them skyward. What day It Is.
Was there ever such day down there

live in?-Oh. don't wonder that you

tho level Of my eyes; and pass for
tall man."
His father abandoned the subject
abruptly. and for a while contrived to
talk Of other things: of the details Of
the fight and how different members
Of the crew had borne themselves.
But his mind was filled with a new
terror, and as soon as he could feel
that his son was In condition to be
left alone. he left him, with a broken
word Of excuse. He must either set
this new terror at rest, or know the
worst at onoe. There had been no
one. either among the survivors or the
slain OF the Walrus party. who in any
way resembled the monster Tom had
described.
An hour later he went back to the
bridge to talk again with Captain
Warner. He thought that they had
sounded the depth Of despair that
former time when they had talked to-
gother there, but in this last hour he
had sounded q new abyss beneath 1t
all. He knew now why the yacht had
been 80 easily taken. He knew all the
details OF the devilish plan which had
30 nearly succeeded. More than that.
he knew the story OF the man Roscoe
from the time when Captain Planck
had taken him aboard the Walrus.
down to the hour last night when he
had sprung into his boat again and
pulled shoreward. Captain Planck
was dying. and old Mr.. Fanshaw's
questions had enabled him to enjoy
the luxury Of q full confession.
30 they knew now. those two men
who Btood there on the bridge, white
Tipped. talking over the horror Of the
thing-they knew that Jeanne was not
alone upon that terrible frozen shore.
The man Roscoe was there. too.
A sound on the deck below attracted
Mr.. Fanshaw's attention. Tom. with
the aid OF heavy cane. was iimping
precariousIy along the deck toward
the bridge ladder. and. to their amaze
ment, when he looked up at them.
they saw that somehow. his face had
cleared. There was a grave look OF
peace upon 1t.
i've thought of something" he
said, after he had climbed up beside
them-"rve thought Of something that
makes It seem possible to go on liv-
ing. and even hoping"
The two older men exchanged a
swift glance. He was not to know
about Roscoe. II he had found some.
thing to hope for. no matter how H.
lusory. he should be allowed to Keep

the horrible. torturing vision Of the

her; I'm sure he is" He turned

the light of a serene, untroubled

on. .'and with Gods help he'll keep
her alive until we can get back with

lie said no more. and he clutched
the rail tight in his gauntleted hands
and gaxed out north. across the Ice.

Village liuuor Tax Unconstitutional,

Some months ago the village OF
Gibbon resisted the payment of 10
per cent of their liquor license
money into Sibley county treasury,
the village attorney A. L. Young,
insisting that the law was uncon.
stltutional. An action was broug ht
to recover the amount and last
week Judge Morrison handed down
a decision favoring the village.
This case effects every village in
the State of Minnesota where there
are saloons, if the decision of Judge
Morrison holds good in the supreme
court the municipalities of the state
will save annually large amount
of money. The case is naturally
attracting state wide interest. The
Gibbon Gazette last week has the
following to say of the suit; 'Attor-
ney A. L. Young has been advised
that Judge Morrison has sustained
his demurrer in behalf of the village
in the action against it by the coun-
ty for recovering of ten per cent of
the liquor license money paid into
the village treasury during the
current year. This means that if
the Supreme Court on appeal
should hold with Judge Morrison
the ten per cent is under the control
of the municipal council and need
not to be paid into the county treas
ury if the council deems it advis-
able to use the money on the re-
pairs of it's streets and highways,
as has been done by the local coun-
cil.-Fairbault Standard.
