SYNOPSIS

Apparently by mistake Philip Vant1ne
receives an antique Bouie cabinet from
Paris. A strange Frenchman is mysteri-
Ously killed near 1t.

visits Fantine of Vantine's murder. Rog-
ers acts suspicousIy.
t.sFF.th the aid of Parks, Vantine's valet,
Geste%' makes plans to carefully guard

Godfrey and Lester conclude that the
cabinet has secret drawer guarded by a
mechanism which stabs and poisons
While Godfrey vainly searches for the
drawer with steel gauntlet on his hand

an eventful existence as the husband
of the siren. Then one morning he

what he should do if he did find her.
ne had finally given it UP and had set
tied gloomily down to live upon his
memories. Some sort of affection for
her had kept alive within him. and
when he opened the door of Vantine's
house and found her standing on the
steps he was as wax in her hands.
When the story was finished Julie
was quite herself again. even a little
proud, l think, of holding the center
of the stage in the role Of siren.

the yelled lady.

MONTGOMERY SHOSHONE
MILL GOING TO SCRAP HEAP

An aftermath of the boom times
that made mountains out of mole
hills and mines out of holes in the
ground is the gradual slipping away
of the big 100000 mill of the Mont
gomery ShoshOne Consolidated Min
ing company in Nevada. In the days
when Green Water and Furnace
Creek stocks glittered with the ex-
pectant rain of shining dollars, Mont
gomery ShOshOne with Charles Mich
ael Schwab, $1,000, 900 a year steel
trust president, behind it, it looked
like a real winner. Since then it has
all been going out and none coming
in. The magnificent mill is being
gradually relegated to the scrap heap
as punk. The annual report for the
year ending December 81, shows that
the company is $S,459 poorer than
it was a year ago. Last year there
was a balance on hand of $2S,S33,
while at the close of business on De-
cember 81, 1913, there was cash to
the extent of $2O,374. OF this bal
ance $13,463 was invested in United
States Steel bonds. No mining oper-
atoms have been carried on for sew
eral years.

NEW BRANCH OF CYANIDING

improvements in cyaniding have
been principally mechanical during
the last few years. and more recent
ly attention has been directed tow
ard the chemical side of the ques-
ton. through which gains have been
made and more expected. NOtwith-
standing the general turn to chem
istry for betterment, there is one me-
chanical improvement being worked
upon which seems promising and
which amounts to almost a new pro-
cess. This system consists of care
full concentration of the ore and
cyanidation of concentrates. Obvious
ly, it would o be applicable to GER
tain ores in which the valuable me-
tai is disseminated so that a salts
factory percentage cannot be had by
concentration. but on the other hand,
there are many ores in which the
metal occurs in A. single mineral,
which might conceivably be almost
entirely separated from the ore mass.

Eddie Hunter took A. j. Moore of

The Fortuna claims are a reloca-

and poor methods of treatment in
those days.

company is considering the advisa-

The ore carries silver, gold and
galena and assays made demonstrate
that it has values up to $500 per
ton, some of the specimens being
very rich in chlorides, stephanite,
and the high grade form of silver
ore.
The Fortuna company also owns

This promising territory is located
about seven miles from the hot

bile travel. Moore and Young were
very enthusiastic over the POSSIBLE
ties of the property and promise that
development on a bigger scale will
soon be under way at the mine.

it's Hercules shaft. 1000 feet deep,
with a hoist manufactured by the
British Westinghouse Electric COM

DECISIONS RENDERED.
IN THE MINING CASE

Decisions covering both of the
suits of William Lamount as liquida-
tor of the Glasgow Western Explora-
ton corporation versus Guy Davis, j,
j. Healey and Murray Scott and
against Guy Davis, Noah Foubert,
Bert Williams, Harry Sheehe and r.
M. Hopkins were handed down by
court this afternoon. In the case COW
ering the ownership to the ground
covered by the corporations lOca-
ton of the Salt Lake No. 3 claim in
suit No. l and that of the ownership
of the Evening Star and Midas the
court held that they were valid lode
discoveries, and that apparently 500
worth of work appeared to have been
performed for the year 1913.
While from appearances the cor
poration seems to have won a COM
plete victory, a close observation of
the boundary lines of the Evening
Star and Midas shows that Davis,
Foubert ct al secure about 225 feet
between the company's claims and
that Davis, Healey ct al are awarded
a strip of practically the same width
along the side of the Salt Lake
claim.
The court further orders that each
party shall pay their W costs and
have twenty days within which to
take such steps as may be advised

EXTRAORDINARY RECORD.

Two hundred thousand miles is
the extraordinary record a Cadillac
mas made during the five years it has
been used by the City Messenger
Service of Binghamton, N. Y. Two
hundred thousand miles in five years
means 10000 miles a year and if
the car were driven every one of the
365 days for each of the five years
without the interruption of a day it
would have to go more than 1O9
miles a day continuously to achieve
this record. Moreover the record is
a remarkable n because the nat
ure of the business necessitated the
use of the car nearly "a hours a
day, over all manner of roads, good,
bad and Indifferent, and in all kinds
while he may roll up a big mileage in
one day, does not make o than
5000 to 1000 miles a year.
These are not all of the remark
able facts connected with this car
and it's record. 1t has been used
principally for taxicab and parcel
service and four different drivers are
now engaged in running it on differ
ent shifts. No less than 25 green
men have been broken in and taught
to operate the car, yet the working
parts of the car are with few excep-
tions, the originals and all of the
original springs, with the exception
of one, are to be found where they
were installed by the manufacturer.
In spite of green drivers and hard
usage not one of the gears has been
replaced by a new one. 1t was found
necessary to replace the engine bear
ings only once, and this was due to
the fact that they were burned out by
allowing the lubricator to run dry.
