New Mexico.

Assays on John Hayden's new find
in Grant county. show values Of $50
in gold, $40 in silver, and 25 per cent
copper.
Carlsbad, in the far southeastern
corner of New Mexico, is the center
of search for oil which, biologists
declare, exists in large pools some
where in the vicinity.
Jeff Hirsch has struck a body OF
fine ore in his claim in Greyback
gulch at Hillsboro. The ore runs well
in gold and silver and has an unusual
ly fine showing of high values in ma
tive copper.
There are twenty-five mines being
worked at Pinos- Altos at present.

Colorado

Colorado
Red Cliff, Eagle county, is the scene
OF noted activity.
The New Monarch group, at one
time rated as Colorado's most exten-
sive gold mine-and the basic cause
of the smelter at Salida-is reporting
fresh bodies of ore, developed by
leasers.
In Colorado the careful observer
will follow the fortunes of the Snug
gler- Union mills at Telluride, where
the Mexican cyanide method was In
stalled in 1912, giving a noted gain in
the extraction of both the silver and
the gold values.
The Gold Dollar mine, Cripple
Creek district, the Campbell lease has
opened valuable body of ore at the
fifth level of the Mabel NJ. shaft. 1t
is fully ten feet in width, better than
s2C to the ton. and going out at the
rate of fifty tons each week.
The Deerhorn mine, on the summit
of Globe hill, one of the Stratton estate
properties under lease to William Hob
son and partners, is credited with hav-
ing developed an ore body at shallow
depth which is carrying values of
about $50 per ton on the average.
In Gunnison county the Blistered
Horn tunnel reports a valuable ore
strike at 1000 feet from surface. The
values are in lead and silver. The
vein is four feet wide, and has been
drifted on for 200 feet and shows
stronger than when first encountered.
Leadville men report very decided
uplift in the mining activities in South
Evans and Big Evans gulches this
spring as is evidenced by the new dis
coveries that have been made In that
section this year, and the increase in
the output of the properties which
have been in operation for some time.
Cripple Creeks Golden Cycle is
keeping step with the Vindicator and
Portland in the discovery at depth OF
bodies Of highgr ore. In fact, any
one of the mines mentioned could
never have passed better inspection
if ordered for sale than they can
today And this is true Of the leasers
as well as OF work conducted on COM
pany account.
Harry Nelson & Co.. who recently
obtained lease on the Pinnacle mine,
on the north side of Bull hill, Cripple
Greek. which has been idle for several
years, have put on fifteen horsepow-
er electric hoist at the old shaft that
was operated by Whipp & Glenn, who
took out fortunes from big stope
years ago. They are prepared to do a
largetamount OF development.
Colorado's leading precious metal
districts, Cripple Creek, Leadville and
Telluride, are to be congratulated
upon the extent and importance OF
their mining programs for 1914. The
capital needed in each instance is al
ready assured for Cripple Creeks tun-
mel extension. The needed $250.000,
which means 10,50O feet of work, will
be contributed by the interested com
panies.

He broke of, and there was a blank

him reach the bench with single

shoulder.

CHAPTER xviii.
The Awakening.


The sun had passed the meridian
next day when Valiant awoke, from
sleep as deep as Abou ben Adhem's.
yet one crowded with flying tiptoe
dreams. The one great fact of Shir-
ley's love had lain at the core of all
these honied images, and his mind
was full of it as his eyes opened. wide
all at once, to the new day.
He looked at his watch and rolled
from the bed with a laugh. Past
twelve!" he exclaimed. Good heav-
ems! What about all the work I had
laid out for today?"
Presently he was splashing in the
lake, shooting under his curved hand
unerring jets of water at Chum, who
danced about the rim barking. now
venturing to wet valorous paw. now
milling up the bank to escape the
watery javelins.
Valiant came up the terraces with
his blood bounding to new rapture.
Crossing the garden, he ran quickly
to the little close which held the sun
dial and pulled single great passion
flower. He stood a moment holding
it to his face, his nostrils catching it's
faint elusive perfume Only last night.
under the moon, he had stood there
with Shirley in his arms. A gush of
the unbelievable sweetness of that mo-
ment poured over him. His face
softened.
Standing with his sandaled feet

himself to a sudden day-dream. A
wonderful waking dream of Joy over
flooding years of ambitionless ease;
Of the Damory Court that should be
in days to come.
When he came from the little close
there was a new mystery in the sun
shine, asfresh and joyous meaning in
the intense blue overarching of the
imponderable sky. Every bird-note
held its own love-secret. A wood
thrush sang it from silver birch be-
side the summer-house, and a bob
white whistled it in the little valley
beyond. Even the long trip-hammer
of a far-away woodpecker beat ra-
diant tattoo.
He paused to greet the flaming pea
cock that sent out a curdling screech.
in which the tentative potterack! pot
terack! of guinea-fowl tangled itself

all you want to, old Fire-Cracker.
Hang your purple-and-gold pessimism!
You only make the birds sound
sweeter. Perhaps that's what you're
| for-who knows?"
He tried to work. but work was not
for that marvellous afternoon. He
wandered about the gardens, planning
this or that addition: little longer
sweep to the pansy-bed-a clump of
bull-rushes at the farther end of the
lake. He peered into the stable: a
saddle horse stood there now, but
! there should be more steeds stamping
in those stalls one day. good horse
