Spanning an arroyo between two hills
halfway to Silent Valley was short
bridge Of considerable height. It was
mtdafternoon when Harry Wflkerson
threw the Birdie rein over his pouy's
head and climbed down the hill slope
till he was directly under the bridge.
Then he pulled the little saw out Of his
shirt bosom and began work. Fifteen
minutes later he climbed up to the
road. broke the saw In two, flung the
pieces into the brush and rode, away.
He did not so far.
From his place of vantage halfway
up the hill he waited. The hour that
elapsed before he heard the coughing
Of the motor seemed an endless success
sion of deadly seconds, each marked
by stabbing breath. Then he saw
the truck emerge from the cut and COM
mence to rumble heavily down the
slope. John Dorr was driving. With
him was one Of the hands.
The heavy truck bumped upon the
bridge, and in the desert. silence the
man on the hill saw 1t quietly sway to
one side and then plunge downward
to the rocks below. Before the sound
Of that crash could reach his listening
ears he saw a sudden burst of fame
shoot up dense swirl Of smoke. Then,
like the faraway cracking OF fire,
came the noise of the yielding timbers,
followed by dull boom.
"My Godv whispered Wilkerson to
himself. "The gasoline tank exploded
and the car is on f1rev He crouched
/ In the brush, waiting to see whether
any one emerged from the gulch. No
! one did. The bridge burned fiercely.
! At least no one would ever know the
cause of this, catastrophe, and John
Dorr would not go to San Francisco.
Instinct told him to fee the scene.
But stronger passion cvercame him;
he must see for himself what had hap
pened. He mounted his horse and rode
swiftly down the slope.
The truck had turned completely
over and lay broken and snoldering
across the waterworn powders. WI
kerson could not see two forms; oil
he discerned through the eddying
smoke was the body of John Dorr.
flung some distance from the truck,
his pallid face turned to the blazing
sky.
"Deadw muttered Wilkerson, chilled
with the horror Of the thing he had
done. 1t bit into his very soul, that
scene, until he could not stand 1t longer
and rode furiously awny toward the
other side of the divide. He must go
on his supposed errand about the wood
and know nothing Of this.
On the crest Of the mountain he halt
ed and looked back. Far below him a
thin curl of gray smoke marked the
site of the murder. Knowing that he
was safe, Wilkerson experienced a ire
mendous reaction.
He raised himself exultantly In his
stirrups. He was now master of the
Muster Key" mine.

Caribou Reported Back in Maine.

According to reports recently re-
ceived at the office of the Commission
ers of Inland Fisheries and Game,
herds of Caribou exist in the State at
the present time, and it is needless
to say that these are very pleasing
to the commissioners, Herbert Spen-
GER, warden located in the vicinity of
the st. John waters, was recent call
er at the office of the commissioners
and his story corroborated the re-
ports that have been coming in for
the past two years. He stated that
this winter he had observed a herd
Of about 80 of the animals which is
staying around certain section Of
the Maine side of the st. Lawrence
river. The variety is known as the
woodland caribou. The officials will,
of course, do all in their power to
make the animals stay in the State
permanently.

Renders Decision on Fatal Accident.

The Public Utilities Commission
Tuesday rendered a decision in the
matter of an accident in the yard OF
the Portland Terminal Co. at Portland
Oct. rs last in which Carmine Sposite
was killed. The commission finds that
Albert L. Shorey, the engineer in
charge of the light engine was beyond
question inattentive with reference TO
The duties and responsibilities imposed
upon him.
The decision says in part:
ION the 26th day of last October in
the yard of the Portland Terminal Co.
at Portland, in the State of Mainh,
Carmine Sposite was killed by reason
of light engine No. $50 colliding with
the work car upon an extra numbered
$50, in which work car at the time OF
said collision said Sposite was lawfully
sitting, and that the sole cause of his
death was the injuries received In such
collision.
IF fair understanding of the rules
required the rear protection of such
work extra. to afford proper protection,
by torpedo and flag, such accident
might have been avoided, had such
protection been afforded. But as to
the exact Interpretation of such rules,
the commission is in doubt and makes
no finding thereon, but unwillingly
must content itself with the recon-
mendation hereinbefore made"

ORC HAS FUTURE

1 NJ p o II T A IT DEVELOPMENTS
SOON WOULD NOT BE SUR
PRISING

Conditions that undoubtedly pres
age early developments of import
ance are present in the shaft on the
property of the Goldfield Orc Mining
company, which was some time ago
enlarged from 3k by Z to Az by
9 2-3 feet in the clear from the $50
foot point to the surface preliminary
to the Inauguration of present deep
mining operations. Indeed, it would
not be surprising were Orc to come
to the front in the near future with
a discovery of vast significance to
the entire territory in which it is To-
Gated. 1t has practically been proven
that the Orc estate is traversed by
the Columbia Mountain fault chan
mel, along which great bodies Of
commercial ore have been exposed
and are being mined in the properties
of it's notable neighbors.
The Oro shaft has reached a depth
of 710 feet and after five more feet
the work of cutting station, already
determined upon by Manager Thomas
Manning and his associates, will be
started. Manager Manning is just at
present considering the completion of
the station, in consequence of the
highly encouraging conditions re-
Gently revealed by the shaft work.
For some time the bore has been ex-
posing highly silicified and oxidized
material that by many mining men
would be considered vein matter. At
the 655-foot point the shaft cut a
ledge that revealed numerous streaks
of tale, clay and quartz.
Although in the past a heavy flow
of water greatly hindered operations,
the management, fortunately, has of
late had to give but little concern to
it, the shaving having passed through
the troublesome zone. Water making
owe the 515-foot level, at which
point it proved matter of great
concern, is being run ints the big
sump just off the immense station
on that level. The flow now meas
ures about $4,000 gallons and it is
being handled nicely in half shift
by the electric pump of $4,000 gal
Ions capacity.
