CONSOLIDATED MINES
COMPANY SOLD

DOUGLAS, June 29-This. mrnine
at 10 clock at the courthouse in
Tom bstone A. l.. Grok, receiver in
bankruptcy of the Tombstone Con.
solidated Mines Company, sold all
the mines, mills and property of
every character owned by the COM
pany in the Tombstone district.
of Phelps-Dodge & Company, was the
only bidder, and the property was sold
to him for five hundred tho usand dol
lars, no one being present to- offer
a greater sum for the property
Mr.. Douglas was in Douglas yester-
day afternoon and in talking of his
intended purchase and of the future
of the property said that it would be
the effort of the company to locate
commercial ore by through system
of prospecting the district. He also
said that it would be the policy to al
low present leasers to continue their
work should they desire to do so.
Since operations were discontinued
by the Tombstone Consolidated many
leasers have been at work and con-
siderable ore has been shipped by
them to Ell Paso.
The sale of this mining property to
the Phelps-Dodge & Company will
mean a renewal of confidence in the
Tombstone district by the entrance of
a company that has in the past made
few failures in its mining endeavors
in the Southwest.

until $3.50 yesterday afternoon.
The accident occurred about one
o'clock yesterday morning. Little in
formation has come to light of the
causes of the fall. These Will be
brought out at the coroner's inquest
which will be held at the office of
Judge Smith late this Afternoon.
The men are known to have been
working in the stope in the twelve hun
dred. The ground must have been
loose and when the men took away
from rock the whole mass must have
been precipitated upon them. Ia :, .

Sanford Marvin. wealthy manufacturer

promises Pauline one year to see life and
places her in the guardianship Of Owen. A
final heart attack gives him just time to

tells Owen that he would have permanent
charge of Paulipe's. estate if something
should happen to her before marriage.
Hicks. a racetrack man, whispers a sugges-
ton to Owen, but the secretary refuses to
have anything to do with him, for the time
at least. Hicks and Owen introduce q re-
formed pirate, who tells Pauline of hidden
treasures. and they take passage to the
island of Nassau to recover the treasure.
A clock-work bomb is exploded on the

The two Cinnamon were arguing violently

Harry had closed the door and followed
the others down the outer passage.

nel1i with sudden passion. "Have you
heart OF stone? Can you not see me help
less in your presence: Do you know what
love is?"
He stepped towards her and tried to take
her In his arms. Woman though she was.
she was stronger and far drawer than he.
She thrust him aside and fed through the
door.
Baskine11i followed, protesting, pleading.
Strangely, she fled through the mar
row corridor, the low, flaring gas Jets were
extinguished one by one.
She gooped in darkness.
Baskinells pleading voice became almost
a consolation, a protection.
Her elbow struck something in the pas
sageway. The something shrank at the
touch. She heard quick drawn breath
that was not Baskine1lfs. She tried to run.

There was the sound Of a struggle be
hind her. She heard Baskinelli crying for
help|but, oh. so quietly! She reached the
door. The door was barred. But there was
light left burning by the door.
Her weak hands beat upon the panels,
helplessly, hopelessly. How should she know
that there were two doors, locked and
sealed beyond?
Her Wild screams rang through the long
passage, through the dark, above the shuttle
and beat and cursing of the staged fight
In the dim Of the light she could see the
figures Of the three Italians graphing with

Suddenly the lamp on the floor went out.
There was another at the farther side Of the
room. but its dim light made the scene
more weird than darkness ecould shave
made It.

Harry's strident voice.
I'VE are," replied Baskinelli. "Miss-er
we go?'
Pauline took his arm.
"Ah, but l have forgotten the most
precious sight of the evening" suddenly
exclaimed the musician. Only q moment

Interested. Pauline did not notice that
Owen softly shut the door upon the re-
ceding footsteps of the others. Baskinel1i
guided her back to the little door behind
the screen-the door from which the China
men had entered.
Baskineln drew aside the curtain.
'There-that Is one form of adventure"
Pauline looked through the curtain. A
suffocating narcotic odor came to her.
What she saw was sitting not only to the
senses-but to the soul. She turned away.
"Polly!"
Harrys voice rang through the little
choked room like thunder blast.
I'VE are coming-we are quite safe"

clenched teeth. Then slowly, grimly:
II anything happers here to-night-it is

He was SO near to the musician that the
others did not hear.
Baskinelh backed away. Pauline. with the
swift, inexplicable. yet unerring instinct OF
woman, moved as II to seek the shelter
of Harry's towering frame.
He did not see her. He had whirled at
the sound of the opening of door,
peculiar door set diagonally across 2 corner
Of the room behind the Joss.
Through the yellow silk curtains that
hid the entrance came two Cinnamon as fan
tastically hideous as the embroidered
dragons on the tapestry.

Baskineln

said the mild voice Of Owen.
The understanding look Of BaslkineM met
his. Bashnelli frowned and Owen smiled.
They were playing perfectly their roles.
The two Cinnamon shufled into the room.
The old priest arose in jabbering protest.
They argued with him acridly. A. few feet
away one could see that their cheap linen
robes covered the Ordinary street garb Of
the Chinaman; that the ugly lines on their
faces were painted, as on the face Of the
Joss.
Baskinelli was laughing. The others
watched the argument In silence. Every

matter to the others.
There was corridor. not SO we'll lighted.
at the top of the third flight of stairs. In
the dim turns the women drew their skirts
about them, bit wary of the black, short
walls.
The passage narrowed. They could move
now only in single file. and even then their
shoulders brushed the walls.
Only far. dull glow from a red lamp
over a door at the end OF q passage lighted
their way.
Baskinelli tapped tightly on the door.
1t was opened by a venerable Chinaman in
the flowing robes of priest: He looked at
words that his companions did not hear.
The priest vanished. Quickly the door was
reopeped and they stepped into the dim.

By the dim light behind the idol the

moment-then opened 1t, but those who en-
tered were the three swarthy foreigners
who had been in the restaurant.
Baskinelli turned for just an instant to
glance at the tall man with the tilted mus
tache. He resumed Immediately his con.
versation with Pauline.
"Why do all the Cinnamon run away like
that?" she asked.
''It is the end of the service; you see the
priests are going, too"
But there was q furtive haste about the
departure of the Orientals And there was
a quavering In the manner of the Oldest
priest-the only one who remained-that
seemed born Of hidden fear.
The old priest lifted one of the lamps
from wall bracket and set it on the floor
beside the idol. He knelt near It and be-

The three Italians waited only a moment
then followed the Chinese out of the room.
