Then seeing that the storm held
with fury unabated, she rose, recon.
noitered and returned to exert all her
strength and drag the unconscious
man across the dry bed of that ancient
water-course and under the lee of its
farther bank.
There, sitting, she pillowed his
head upon her lap, and bending over
Z him made her body an additional shell

of dust
And for hours on end Judith nursed
him there. scarce daring to move
save to minister to his needs. bathing
his fevered brow and moistening his
parched lips and throat.
In the course Of the first hour she
was once startled by the spectral wis.,

Weary with the weight of its double
burden, it went slowly and passed SO
near to Judith that she was able to
recognize the features of her sister
and Tom Barcus.
Be sure she made never a sign to
catch their attention.
Within the next succeeding hour
the coppery light lost something Of
its hot brillance, took on a darker
shade. and then one darker still. Twi-
light stole athwart the desert. turning
its heat to chill, its light to violet.
Growing more intense, the cold
eventually reused the sleeping man.

with the gesture of exorcism.
Uncomplaining, hugging her new
born humility to her with the ecstasy
of the anchorite his horse-hair shirt.
Judith followed him patiently. at a
little distance.
Not far from where he had rested
there was a break in the oyerhanging
wall of the arroyo. Through this he
scrambled painfully. reaching the level
OF the desert only after cruel effort,
the unheeded woman at his heels.
A brief pause there afforded both
time TO regain their breath and survey
the desert for signs Of assistance: it
offered none, other than what they
might accomplish through their own
exertions For leagues in any quarter
it stretched without break other than
the black cleft of the arroyo, cleaning
a bleached and deathly white in the
moonshine-like the face of a frozen
world
With tacit consent both turned that
way, Alan leading, Judith his pertina-
cious shadow, with never a word or
sign between them to prove that either
was aware of the others company.

Panama Canal Opened For Traffic

Five barges, each laden with a few hundred tons oil fre'gnt
lowed from Balboa on the Pacific to Cristobal on the Atlantic,
marked the actual opening of commerce by way OF the fanama
canal.
Like many of the great achievements in the history OF the
world. this event happened without fuss of ceremonies or splurge
of ~oficialdom.
1t came about as an incident of the Mexican situation.
Interoceanic freight had been carried by rail over the isthmus
of Tehauntepec in Mexico and ~transhipped. During the earlier
stages of the Mexican revolution this line was kept open. But with
the Tampico incident and the occupation of Vera Cruz by the
United States forces the Tehauntepec route was, in prudence, closed.
The Panama railroad, which has served various carriers, was al
ready working to capacity.
The Panama canal had not yet been officially completed-but
it was ready.
1t started to work, like the American soldier, or the American
sailor, or the American engineer, or the American business man
starts to work when he sees the emergency.
Some day soon we shall hear that a cargo ship has sailed
through, and in a short time the first westbound ship, with flags
flying and its siren blowing, will steam into the harbors OF the Pa
c6c as the argosy of our new prosperity.
There might be some folks, ceremonious individuals, symbolical
personages, who would prefer that the canal be opened with stately
ceremony. that it delay its practical work until it has performed
certain vague and ritualistic sentimentalities
But that isn't the American way.
It is proper that the canal be opened with ceremony-and the
United States Government has planned a fitting celebration-two
celebrations. in fact One is to be the ceremonious passage through
the nations of the world. The second celebration will be the Pan
ama-Paci6c International exposition of California, to which all the
world is invited and most of the world will come.

Small Mill Making Money

Good results are reported to be
obtained in the operation of the IT.
win mill at Irwin canyon. The r.
win brothers are now putting ore
from the dumps through the mill
and are said to be handling about
eight tons a day that will average
$25 to $50 a ton. The operation of
this two-stamp plant promises to re-
suit in the output of considerable
bullion this Spring and Summer.
Another of the same kind of mills
is in operation at Clifford and a third
at Glendale. The one at Clifford is
said to be producing from $3.50 to
5000 in amalgam every day and is
being operated by the Clifford broth
erS.
The Wingfield silver property on
Willow Creek has been leased to
Tonopah people and they expect to
do a large amount of prospecting
and development work at once.

Hamilton News Notes

There is little of importance to
write, still having been here a month.
| think | should let you hear from
me.
There is still a little snow in the
mountains, but there is none in town.
Since | came here we have had two
feet of snow, but it has disappeared,
and in my garden the tulips are in
full bloom and the locus have
long ago stopped blooming. The
wild flowers, too, are blooming every
where.
Julius Minoletti is feeling very
good because he has struck a fine
body of ore in the Rome mine. He
has this under a lease and will doubt
lessly make a nice stake out of it.
The Grand Prize people have COM
menced shipping ore to Eureka
again.
/ have been working with one man
on my Blue Hill property, adjoining
town, and one of the reasons of not
reporting before is that l expected
to strike ore any day, and it would
be nicer to be able to report that
fact. Well | have made connections
between my tunnel and shaft and l
have struck a big iron ledge that
stands nearly perpendicular and is
on the Treasure Hill Fault. In the
iron ledge is much tale Of a blue
color, called by the miners here 'the
blossom of the ore." but Ihave not
yet found the ore l am looking for.
If l do find it you are apt to see me
come driving my team up Main street
in Eureka and looking prodigously
important.
We recently have had some men
here who propose to bring in a churn
drill and with it explore the ground
here to depth. | first spoke of it to
some Ely people and showed them
some ground adjoining mine which l
thought was best suited for the pur-
pose. They took up three claims,
and my mines being higher up, l
waved the apex rights to them. 1t
is already quite certain that the dia-
mond drill will soon be at work here.
l suppose you know that a great
geologist, visiting the camp of Ely
some years ago, asserted that the de-
post at Copper Flat was caused by
p~ercolation through the rocks from
the White Pine mountains. Assum-
ing that this is true, the copper must
be under Hamilton, which is at the
foot of the White Pine mountains,
and there are, without doubt, great
bodies of ore. rich in copper, at
depth. Should this prove true the
future of our camp is assured.
| have visited the camp of Tono-
pah, and | have said that / believe
Hamilton will become a greater
camp than Tonopah, but that its fu-
ture lies in the silver belt. Of course
the lead belt makes small fortunes
quicker, but it has never had any at
fractions for me. | suppose the rea-
son for that is that my first instruc-
tons in mining YER obtained in Eu-
reka. R. A. DEAN.

heart failure at his home on Unlver-
sity Hill and suddenly expired in the
presence of his wife, daughter and

Not a parting word was uttered,
so quick was his call from a long and

previous years slight heart attacks
but no seriousness was attached 10
them. He complained yesterday OF
indigestion, but little thought was
given to it.
The shock of his sudden death is
Statewide. On University Hill all
commencement activities are sus'
pended. Professor Robert Levers
was made acting president by the
Board of Regents.
Surviving him are his widow, Mrs.
