ASHTON slapped him on the back
and reared: "Oh. you married mani"
WELL, said Ira, in self-defense, Il
don't hear. anybody sending for YOU"
Wedgewood grinned at Ashton Il
rather fancy he had you theah, old
top, Ell. whatr'
Ira appeared at number one, and
bending over his treasure-trove, spoke
In a voice that was pure saccharine:
Are you ready for breakfast, dear?"
Yes, Ira"
"Come along to the dining-car."
= "It's cosier here" she said. Couldn't
we have 1t served here?"
But It'll get sall cold, and I'm hun
gry," pouted the old bachelor, to
whom breakfast was sacred 1nsti-
tuition.
All right, Ira" said Anne, glad to
be meek: come along" and she rose.
Ira hesitated. still, II you'd rath-
err, we'll eat here" He sat down.
"Oh, not at ALL" said Anne; well
go where you want to go"
"ButI want to do what you want to
do"
80 do we'll co. said Anne.
Wen stay"
mo. I insist on the dining-car."
"Oh, all right, have your own way"
said Ira, as II he we're being bullied,
and liked 1t. Anne smiled at the con-
trariness Of men. and Ira smiled at
the contrariness of women, and when
they reached the vestibule they kissed
each other in mutual forgiveness
AS Wedgewood stropped an old-fash-
Toned razor, he said to Ashton, who
was putting up his safety equipment:
Il say, old party, are those safety
razors safe? Cant you really cut
yourself?'
Cut everything but hair" said Ash
ton, pointing to his wounded chin.
Mallory put out his hand: Would
you be kind enough to lend me your
razor again this merning?"
| s"Sure thing" said Ashton. You'll
j find your blade In the box there"
Mallory then negotiated the loan OF
one more fresh shirt from the Eng
j lishman, and clean collar from Ash
ton. He rejoiced that the end OF the
day would bring him in touch with
his own baggage. Four days OF forag
] ing on the country was enough fol
this soldier.
Also he felt, now that he and Mar
jorie had lived thus long, they coulo
survive somehow till evening brought
them to San Francisco, where there
i were hundreds Of ministers. And then
the conductor must ruin his early
morning optimism, though he made
his appearance In the Mushroom with
genial good mornings for all.
Mallory acknowledged the greeting
and asked offhandedly: by the way
how's she running?"
4 The conductor answered even more
offhandedly: About two hours late
and losin'."
Mallory was transfixed with a new
4 fear: Good Lord, my transport sails
at sunrise"
"Oh, we ought to make Frisco by
midnight, anyway q
Midnight, and sail at daylight"
Unless we lose little more time.
Mallory realized that every new da!
managed to create Its own anxieties
With the regularity OF a milkman
each morning left fresh crisis OF
his doorstep.

CHAPTER xxxlv.
The Complete DIvorcer.

the Complete Dlvorcer.
The other passengers were growing
nervous with their own troubles. The
next stop was Reno. and in spite OF
all the wit that is heaped upon the
town, 1t Is q solemn place to those
who must go there in purgatorial PEN
ance for matrimonial error.
Some honest souls regard such d.
vorce-empOriums as dens OF evil,
where the wicked make a mockery OF
the sacrament and assaii the founda-
tions OF society, by undermining the
home. Other equally honest souls,
believing that marriage Is human
institution whose mishaps and mis-
takes should be rectified as far as
possible. regard the divorce courts as
cities OF refuge for ill-treated or i'll
mated women and men whose lives
may be saved from utter ruination by
the Intervention OF high-minded
judges.
/ But, whichever view Is right, the
ordeal by divorce is terrifying enough
! to the poor sinners or martyrs who
must undergo It.
i Little Jimmie Wellington turned
pale, and stammered, as he tried to
ask the conductor casually:
What kind OF place is that
Reno?"
The conductor, somewhat cynical
from close association. with the d.
vorce-mill and Its grist, grinned:
That depends ON what you're leav-
ing behind. Most folks seem to get
enough OF 1t in about six months.
Then he went his way. leaving Well
ington red, agape and perplexed The
trouble with Wellington was that he
had brought along what he was leav-
ing behind. Or. as Ashton impudentiy
observed: You ought to enjoy your
residence there. Wellington. with your
wife on hand"
The only repartee that Wellington
could think OF was q rather unin
spired: You go to -"
80 long as 1t isn't Reno" Ashton
laughed. and walked away.
Wedgewood laid sympathetic hand
on Little Jimmie's shoulder, and said

er, what?"
Wellington wrote his epitaph in
these words:
well, tho worst | can say OF him
Is, he's the kind OF man that doesnt
lift the plug out when he's through
with the basin"
He liked this 30 well that he wished
he had thought OF 1t In time to cracl
1t over Ashton's head. He decided
to hand 1t to him ANYWAY. He forgo
that the cardinal rule for repartee. II

Prof. ToIman's Lecture.

Last Tuesday evening Prof. c. F.
 Tolman, of the University of Arizona, delivered most interesting lecture on the subject of ''At the Surface and Underground in Arizona Mines, to a well filled house at Elk's Opera House, Kingman. The subject was one in which the people of this section are vitally interested, and the views of the big mines of the south part of the state and the maener of the great cop. per dispositions gave the lecture spice and direction. Prof. Holman is at the head of the mining and engineering department of the University and is one of the best posted men in the state on the subject of the mineralogy and geology of the copper deposits lying along the Mexican border. It is his first visit to Mohave county and he is already we'll pleased with the big gold, lead and zinc mines of this section. The fact that the mines of Mohave county lie in the great ore belt map ped out by the geological survey, gives the section added interest to Mr. Tolman. As is well known the belt in which lies all the great copper mines of Arizona and Nevada has a northwest and southeast trend, com ing up from Cananea, Mexico, covering the Bisbee-Morenci field in the ex- treme southeastern part of the state, thence on through Pinal, Gila, Mari copa, Yuma, Yavapai and Mohave counties and covering the big dissem. mated copper fields of Ely. Nevada The belt is very wide and embraces practically the whole mineral region of the two states-Nevada and Arizona. Throughout this belt the ore deposits are not confined to the coppers, but cover practically every known mineral. Especially is this the case with Mo- have county, where the mineralization is more diversified than in any of the other counties.
 Prof. Holman is covering a large part of the mineral field of the county during his visit here, having looked over the Gold Road, Tom Reed and other mines of the San Francisco dis trict, and the Golconda and Chloride mines, in Wallapai district. His visit to the county is sure to result in much good, as it will be the subject of future lectures in the school and at public gatherings in the south part of the state. '-~

Owing to the wearing out of the lin. ing of the ball mill at the Gold Crown mines. the mill has had to close down for week or more, until replacements can be obtained. At the mine there is world of milling. ore, the value running above the expectations of the company. This is one of the mines tha: the company could not possibly 2, too large a mill on, as it has fully l,000,000 tons of millable ore in sight and blocked out. Owing to the contour of the country and the small amount of overburden it is possible to remove he covering and quarry out the i'm mense ore body. In places this body of ore IS fully sixty. feet. thick and lies at dip of about 25 degrees from the horizontal. The pitch of the hill is greater than that of the vein and on the east side he vein could be reach ed within a few feet from.the surface. With a mill capabla of handling from 800 to 1000 tons day this property would be one of the greatest gold mines in the country.
 J. c. Potts was over to the Atlantic Pacific claims, near Finger Butte this week with an engineer, who made an examination of the property. The vein in this property is quite wide and the values carried are exceptionally good. Some smalEstreaks through the ground show big values in gold, but they are outside the walls of the big vein and are only considered in gen. eral way in sizing up the property.

Alta Tunnel Being
 Pushed Vigorously.

A Salt Lake City, Utah, dispatch says:-Among the big tunnel projects that are being driven in Utah is the big bore now being run through the mountain from Silver Fork of the Big Cottonwood, at an elevation of $500 feet. This work is being cone by the Alta Tunnel & Transportation con- pany as fast as three shifts can push their way through. The tunnel is now in a distance of 200 feet and as soon as spring opens up machine drills will be installed and all machinery will be run by electricity from the Knight power plant.
 The tunnel is being driven at right angles to the known veins of the camp and will be about $500 feet long. It will give much greater depth than any of the present tunnels there. The Lake Solitude tunnel on the Utah Mines Coalition ground is at present the lowest tunnel in the camp, but the new tunnel that is being driven will be 600 feet lower. The tunnel is by ' 1-2 feet in the clear and will cost in the neighborhood of 50,000S.
 The company owns 25' acres of min eral land, which will be developed by the tunnel. Besides that the tunnel can be utilized by the Prince of Wales, the Unity, Continental, Alta, City Rock, Utah Mines Coalition and other properties for transportation and drain age purposes.
 The portal of the tunnel is so located that it is protected from snowslides and hauling of ore the year round is insured.

O. F. Brinto1, gen ,ral mi1ayer of the Arizona Alpha Mining compan |, is in town from the mines. He is ship ping five tons of ore daily to the rail- road, whence it will be shipped to the shelter at Needles. There is now about sixty tons of ore at the station and shipment will be made the first of the week. The mine is showing up fine, the ore in the breast of tn e lower drift is getting better the low grades encountered last week cutting out and better grade coming in. The ore throughout 200 feet of the drift shows values of about sos in gold, silver and copper. A connection will soon be made with the level above and then sinking on the ore body will be con- menced, The company is getting the property we'll financed and will do a large amount of work on it this year. The Alpha is one of the big properties of the district and is sure to become a great producer of high grade ore.
 The Gro Plata is looking fine these days, the mill running on a high class of ore and making big saving of con- centrates. On the upper adit level there is opened big body of excep. tionally high grade ore, while on the lSO level there is now opened rich ship ping ore. The ore body ranges from two to three feet in width and runs from three to five ounces in gold to the ton. With the present class of ore to handle in the mill at least one car a week can be sent out, and possibly more.
 There are many prospectors going in- to the Secret Pass section, where re. gently several important diScoveri, s have been made. Owing to the fact that the big veins carry small values in gold. many of them have been over- , looked, but these are sure to become much sought after in the near future, when cheaper power and better water conditions obtain in the district. The large copper interests are looking into the district and any favorable mining prosition is sure to receive their attent- ion.
 Mrs. A. H. Smith visited Chloride this week, where she has mining and other interests. She reports the camp very lively and the expectation of the people for one of the most prosperous years in the life of the camp.

 The commander of the German squadron and his officers had but one word of description for the strenuous days of entertainment through which they have passed in New York Overwhelming! Admiral Vo1 Rebeur Paschwitz, who is thoroughly familiar with the people of the United tSates as a result of a long sojOurn in Wash ington as naval attache, and again as q participant in the review of the worlds fleets at Jamestown in 1907, expressed his feeling before his de- parture.

A REIGN OF TERROR

Perth Amboy N. J., June 13.-The strike situation here tonight is more serious than it has been since several thousand employees in factories quit work early this week.
 Threatened to Burn Buildings.
 While several men representing the state militia were hastening here this evening from Trenton, under orders from Governor Wilson, to decide whether the situation warranted the calling out of the. militia, a mob of two thousand men made an attack on the plant of the American Smelling & Refining O., shouting that they would burn the buildings.
 Set Fire to Waiting Room.
 They were repulsed by two volleys from rifles in the hands of police and detectives guarding the plant. Retir- ing to small building used as a troll ley car waiting room. they set fire to it. When 8 fire company responded to an alarm, its members were attacked and forced to retire, leaving the build ing to burn to the ground.
 Bremen Injured by Stones.
 Two of the firemen were injured by stones. None of the shots from the
  several bullets struck nearby houses. Over all this tumultuous scene a searchlight played from one of the American Smelting company's build ings, so that spectators, numbering 5000 or 10000, could see clearly all that happened.
 Reign of Terror.
 At a late hour tonight a reign of terror existed in the neighborhood of the American Smelting company s property. Hotel people were fearful that the mob would apply the torches to their buildings. A freight train was stopped, trolley car containing passengers was attacked. a second building owned by the trolley com pany was burned down, and an at tempt was made to set fire to a third structure, but armed men drove off the attacking strikers by shooting over their heads
