A notable resumption Of busi-
ness activity in Washington is in
dicated by the October statement
of the industrial insurance COM
mission, which shows 1888 new
employers, firms or individuals,
listed during that month. From
the rate at which new employers ,
accounts have come in during the
early days Of November, it is
likely that the record for this
month will beat October, although
work ordinarily falls off as win
ter approaches.
During the fiscal year ending
September 30, the department
listed an average of 258 new en-
ployers a month. The fact that
several new industries were taken
under the act, however, explained
a considerable portion of the in
crease during the year. This is
not the case with the 383 new
employers listed during October.
A considerable number are en-
gaging in logging enterprises.

NOTES OF MINING

The Admiral property, near
Valley, in Stevens county, owned
by Thomas Greenwap and Thomas
Tate, has opened a rich copper
silver ore wien on three levels and
is storing ore, preparatory to reg
ular shipments, it is reported by
j. r. Brown, manager Of the Vul-
can property at Valley, who re-
turned to Spokane recently from
a trip to the district. "The up
PR tunnel of the admiral has
opened IS inches of ore, " said Mr.
Brown. "The second tunnel
struck the vein at width of four
feet, and the lower tunnel shows
eight feet of ore. I was told that
the vein assays from $50 to 500
to the ton in copper and silver" "
Fat hearney, one OF the group

So great has been the general
revival in the iron and steel trade
Of the United States, it was said
by authorities last week, that

products can not be satisfied. 1t
is almost impossible to buy for i'm
mediate delivery pigiron, scrap or
ingots in sizeable quantities at any
plant in the country.
The Kettle river valley is show
ing more activity in mining now
than for a number Of years, and
the development there is being
pushed chiefly on properties that
were opened up during the for
mer days when the First Thought
and the Little Giant were the
chief factors in attracting atten-
ton of the mining world to Orient
and it's rich surroundings. Men
who have spent their money in
that field are looking for results
and their policy is to follow the
ore where it was opened up to
any considerable extent by the
pioneers of the camp. That Ori-
ent has some producers is attested
by the volume and values OF the
ore in sight in the district.
The Copper Butte, upon which
a shaft several hundred feet was
sunk and work suspended on ac-
count of water after the bottom
of the opening had been buried
in ore, has resumed work under
the supervision of Willis Town
send, who represents Indiana
capital. A tunnel will be run
1000 feet to catch the ore which
carries copper and gold values.

w. p. Robinson of Chelan, who
is the head of a Waterville de-
velopment company, has com
menced work on the Golden Gate,
on Pierre Lake, six miles north
east of Orient. This also is a
copper-gold property.
The Galena Hill property on
Kettle river above Orient, has the
bottom of its shaft down $50 feet
below the bed of the stream.
While the pumping plant is not
strong enough to handle the wa
ter from a greater depth, work
has been carried on in the upper
levels where the ore has been fol-
lowed. A small reduction plant
has been installed and two cars
of concentrates have been shipped.
This is a lead-silver mine. W. S.
Bliss of Reardan is in charge of
the property
E. W. Kirchberg and E. E. Fet-
ter have taken an option on the
Spring Gulch group of claims on
Toulou mountain, two miles south
of Orient. They are putting up
buildings and will open up a cop
per lead that was disclosed sew
eral years ago, but work suspend
ed on account of the low price of
metals. 1t is said the gold values
alone will pay all expenses Of de-

the 20, 900 tons of ore on the dump
carries values in zinc, copper and

to ship. These claims are three
miles northeast from Orient.
The opening of the Northport
smelter has put new life into iron
properties. The Minorca on Flat
creek, which is one Of the best
iron producers on the North Half,
will probably ship to Northport.
Besides the iron, gold will prove
quite an element in the profits.
The Chewelah camp, according
to the Chewelah Independent,

crashed into the hole, like a gigantic
plow.
1t took a header over the side of
the road and down several feet into
the stream, Just as the masked man
and the driver jumped far ahead into
the water.
Safe now in our car which was
slackening it's terrific speed, looked
back. They've been thrown!" l cried.

On the edge, of the water, just COW
cred by some wreckage, the chauffeur
lay motionless. The masked man
crawled from under the wreckage and
looked at him moment.
Dead" he exclaimed, still me-
chanically gripping a rifle in his hand.
Angrily he raised it at us and fired.
A moment later, some other men
gathered from all directions about
him, each armed.
Don't mind the wreck" he cried,
exasperated. "Fire!"
A vollny was delivered at us. But
the distance was now apparently too
great.
We were Just congratulating our
selves on our escape, when a stray
shot whizzed past, striking a piece di-
rectly out of the head Of the steering
post, almost under Elaine's hand.
Naturally she lost control, though
fortunately we were not going so fast
now. Crafty, our car swerved from
side to side of the road, as she vainly
tried to control both its speed and di-
rection On the very edge Of the ditch,
however, it stopped.
We looked back. There we could
see group of men who seemed
to spring out Of the woods,
as II from nowhere, at the sound of
the shots. A shout went up at the
sight Of the bullet taking effect, and
they ran forward at us.
One of their number, l could see,
masked, who had been in the wrecked
car, stumbled forward weakly, until
he sank down.
A couple of the others ran to him.

a car with a chauffeur waiting. Still
carrying the rifle, he climbed in and
the man shot the car along down the
road.
On the top of hill one Of the men
was posted as sort of lookout. Gaz-
ing over the country carefully, his
eye was finally arrested by something
at which he stared eagerly. Far away
on the road he could see car in
which was girl alone. Waving in
the breeze was a red feather in her
hat He looked more sharply, 1t was
Elaine Dodge.
The man turned and waved signal
with a handkerchief to another man
far off. Down the valley another of
Del Mars men was waiting and watch
ing. AS soon as he saw the signal,
he waved back and ran along the
road.
AS Del Mar whizzed along he could
see one of his men approaching over
the road, waving to him. Stop" he
ordered his driver.
The man hurried forward. I've got
the signal" he painted They have
seen her car over the hill"
Good" exclaimed Del Mar, pull.
ing black silk mask over his eyes.
Now get off quickly. We've got to
catch her"
They sped away again in a cloud of
dust.
But even while Del Mar was speed
ing toward her, another of his men
had discovered her presence, so vigi-
liant were they.
He had been keeping a sharp
watch on the road, when he was
suddenly all attention. He saw a
car, through the foliage. Quickly
his rife went to his shoulder. Through
the sight he could just cover Elaine's
head, for her hat, with bright red
feather in it, showed plainly just over
the bushes.
He aimed carefully and fired.

hat.

car. "And drive like the dickensl"
She turned and we fairly ricocheted
down that road back agall.
Behind us a man, a stranger whom
we did not pause to observe, rushed
from the bushes and fired after us
again.
Suddenly another rifle shot cracked,
It was from another car that had
stealthily sneaked up on us-coming
fast, recklessly.
There's her car" pointed one Of the
occupants to a man who was masked
in black. YES" he nodded. Give her

We did so. racing for life, the more

We were coming to very narrow

She started up the car and drove of
as Woodward turned back TO the fort
with a lingering look.
Del Mar was hard at work In the
library when, suddenly. he heard a
sound at the panel. He reached over
and pressed button on his desk. and
the panel opened. Through Il came
the diver still wearing his dripping
suit and carrying the weird helmet un.

How demanded Del Mar, with an
oath.
Il saw her on the rocks Just now.
She happened to stumble on the

And them" demanded Del Mar.
"she took It with her in her car"

eign agent furiously. you must get

The diving man dove back into the
panel to escape Del Mars wrath,
while Del Mar hurried out, leaving his

of the bay. There he found his
