strates that something will be
doing in the near future The
mining operations are now being
conducted by the Massam bro
theirs, who have a force of men
at work.
The grading for the mill build
ing is now nearly completed, and
the building will be started soon.
A goSd road has been built to
the mill site, and everything puff
IN readiness for the handling of
machinery. The frame for the
tramway IS npj and can be
finished in a short time. The
tram is of the gravity system,
the loaded car bringing up the
empty.

mine; which is the one that will
be worked first, is completed and
ready to receive ore. The ore to
be taken from the mine first will
be the top and overflow The
Mascot vein on the surface is
broken over, and a great tonnage
of rich ore is very accessible.
This ore is we'll oxidized and is
very free, and easily mined and
milled.
The Mascot vein is about s fit!
Vide, ahd has been opened by a
tunnel to a depth of 125 it., be-
sides a great hti1mber of open
cuts that all show good pay ore.
Besider the work on the Mas
cot, a great deal of development
has been done on the st. Law
renee claim, and a pay shoot
opened for a distance of 500 ft.
The St. Lawrence vein is about
5 fit. wide, and carries good
values, the gold in the ore being
quite coarse. 1t is proposed to

is about 1000 it,. north of the
Mascot.
The mill should be in operation

an abundance for all times of the
year, the water being taken from

National Progressive Party.

National Progressive Party.
The progressives met in ma
tional convention last week in
Chicago, and with great enthu-
siasm nominated Colonel T.
Roosevelt and Gov. Hiram W.
Johnson, of California, as the
standard-bearers of the newborn
party.
A lengthy platform, dealing
with all of the present day
questions of governmental policy
and party expediency, which are
at this time agitating the public
mind, was adopted with unusual
unanimity of sentiment. The
public now has three leading
national tickets to choose from.
Roosevelt and Johnson, pre-
gressive.
Taft and Sherman, republican.
Wilson and Marshall, demo-
cratic.

The question was involuntarily on

the mans sincerity.

Of that something barked hideously;
Dundas screamed like a rat; Van
Tuyl said: Oh, God!" thickly.
Dazed with horror, Coast managed
to clear his vision.
Blackstock had moved to the other
side Of the room, where he stood at
a small table. the drawer Of which he
had evidently jerked open the instant
before he fired. His feet were we'll
apart and he leaned q little forward,
his large head lowered upon its heavy
neck. His lips were compressed to
the loss Of their sensual fullness. his
eyes blazed beneath knotted, intent
brows. One hand was clenched by his
side; the other held an automatice pis-
toll from whose muzzle a faint vapor
lifted in the still hot air.
In a corner little Dundas was hud-

Both men were watching Van Tuyl.
Coast saw the tall, graceful figure
sway like a pendulum gathering mo-
mentum. An expression of strained
surprise clouded the mans face. He
lurched a step forward and caught
himself with a hand on the card-table,
and SO held steady for an instant
while his blank axe. falling, com7rs
hended the neat black puncture witt
its widening stain upon the bosom o.

of pitiful inquiry.

oath. Shut up, damn you! D'you

teeth, jumping as the bell of the

he went heavily to the instrument in
the short hallway that led to the en-.
trance to the apartment. Coast heard
him jerk down the receiver.
"Well?" he demanded savagely.
Yes. An accident"
"One of my guests. Yes, badly.
You'd better call up police headquar

He went to the buffet. carefully
avoiding the body, and poured himself
a stiff drink, which he swallowed at q
gulp.
Blackstock strobe restlessly back
to the other end of the room and
threw himself, a dead weight, into a
chair, facing the wall. In the silence
that followed Coast could hear his
deep and regular respirations, unhur-
ried, unchecked. After a moment,
however, he swung round. dug his ell
bows into his knees and buried his
face In his hands.
Good God!" he said. Why did I
do that?"
Dundas coughed neryoualy and
moved toward the door. Blackstock

Without a protest Dundas sided
fearfully between him and what had
been Van Tuyl. and returned to the
window-seat. Blackstock's glowering
gaze fell upon Coast A sour grimace
twisted his mouth.
You're not q bad fellow. Coast" he
said-"to stick by me-.
Exerting himself, Coast tried to
master his aversion and contempt for
the man as well q his blind horror OF
the crime.

accomplished the action with surpris-

B~lackstock hesitated, swaying a lit

railroad OFFICIALS
. Due TONOPA All SUNDAY

A party of distinguished visitors
is scheduled to arrive in Tonopah
and the significance of the
visit is believed to mean more than
a casual tour of inspection. The
party will include R. c. Kerens, vice
president of the S. L. S. P. q L. A.
road; II. C. Mutt. general manager of
of the same road; and Frank Nj.
Grace, general superintendent of the
l.. v. & T. line. The gentlemen are
expected to arrive in Goldfield aboard
a special train in the morning and
will shortly continue ON to this city
covering the latter distance in auto
mobiles.
II is believed that the visit of Mr..
Kerens and his associates has some
thing to do with the contemplated
extension of the Clark road from
Goldfield to Tonopah, making this
city the terminus. Various rumors
have been heard during the last few
months with regard to the extension
OF the road and it is probable that
definite announcement will be made
on the arrival of the road officials.
