it would be proper to use that one

You accepted his attentions for a

A Tantalizing Face.

As the conversation flowed through the
mouth of the conductor, il took quite a
serial flavor through his absences at sta
tions, but the Interruptions brought COM
pensations in that they permitted private
study of the girl
Seen vis-a-vis, her face proved every
whit as delicate as in profile. A perfect
oval in a frame of brown hair shot with
a tangle of sunshine, its rich creams en-
phasized the scarlet Of her mouth and
added depth to eyes that were deep
enough in their own right.

remarkable destinations which have. on

one. David already felt its force, and as
the strange sights of the terra caliente
passed unseen in slow procession under
the car windows he came more and more
under its spell.
Naturally this expression centered upon
her eyes. and II he did not solve its
puzzle It was not for lack of opportunity

The Arizona Commercial.

The Arizona Commercial will sink the Copper Hill shaft POO feet deeper and open another level at HOO feet. As preparation for sinking interteres foot level, work sras been suspended for few days in No. crosscut. When tine shift ended Friday afternoon there was siXteeo foot of 7S per cent sul- phd in the crosscut and the drill holes were Tn ore several feet farther.
 Evidently Arizona Commercial has great body of sulphide on the 18th level, and realizing this the manage ment has planned to develop it at greater depth, as well as above the 1900 level. The 1000 level is being opened and later raises will be started on the 1900 level to connect with the 1000 level. This development will be the work of months but in the mean. time the 1900 level will be extended and the big lode explored by crosscuts at intervals of 100 feet.
 Further development of the orebody on the intermediate, between the 9th and 7th levels, which has no connec- tion with the main ledge opened on the 1900. foot level, has been dscon- tinued in order to concentrate devel. opment work on the deeper levels.- Globe Record.

Build Road to Rim
 of Grand Canyon.

J. Cecil Alter, observer at the local weather bureau, has received letter from James l. Pel,on of Knab. super. visor of the Kaibab national forest, in which Mir. Pelton says that the government has granted special ap- propriation of 7oOS for the construc- tion of permanent boulevard from Jacobs lake through the forest to the rim of the Grand canyon of the Colo. rado at Bright Angel point.
 The entire line has been surveyed and every preliminary detail has been worked out in advance by Supervisor Pelton The weather usually remains fine throughout the winter in this section, and work can be taken up at once, and the road completed in time for next summers traffic to the grand canyon.
 The appropriation IS sufficient to as permanent as any in the state of Utah. This link from Jacobs lake to the rim of the canyon completes the government road, through the kaibab forest, and for fifty miles automobiles will be run over a highway as fine as any turnpike.
 The governments cooperation in road building, especially on this road, will give to Utah the assurance tbat the road to the Grand Canyon will be made so admirable that Utah's share of traffic to the canyon will become an important factor in the States enter prise. as quickly as the beauty of the trip becomes known to a larger nun.

A Great Days Work at Utah.

The mining and shipment of 29,O0O tons of ore by the Utah Copper con- panv establishes a new 24- hour record. On Sept. 24 last year the company sent out 10000 tons. On Sept. 24 this year 25,000 tons were mined and ship ped, and on the 29th the 29,000-ton record was set.
 This means that almost four miles of railroad cars were loaded by the 2,3OO men employed on the mountain of ore in Bingham. The P steam shovels chugged away, but they were not all employed in taking out ore for the record day. As the average car of ore is 50 tons, 5S0 cars were used to take the ore to the mills. A train usually hauls 20 cars, so that go trains were required.
 Since the K and l. levels were con- nected up so that the trains can now be moved across the mountain on any level, the company has been able to get out better grade of ore, and this, it is declared, will be shown in the production this month. It is expected that well over 1l,0O0,OO0 pounds of copper will be produced, barring ac. cidents.-Bishee Review.
