They rushed out and into the conser-

had broken away, knock out Jennings.
He sprang to his feet and darted
away.

The crook by this time had reached
the top of the wall. Just as he was
about to let himself down safely on

The leader looked about, then leaned
over and whispered, We've just had

"Stolen?" repeated Kennedy, staring
aghast.

foreign government has found trail

what might be done with the deadly

"Then you don't know of his es-

Kennedy could only stare as they
told the story.
The crook fell back and dropped
down behind the palms. Jennings
looked about, but saw no one and
stood there puzzled. Then the crook,
fearing that he might be captured at
any moment, looked about to see
where he might hide the torpedo.
There did not seem to be any place.
Quickly he began to dig out the earth
in one of the palm pots. He dropped
the torpedo, wrapped still in the hand
kerchief, into the hole and covered 1t
up.
Jennings was clearly puzzled. He
had seen someone rush in, but the
conservatory was apparently empty.
He had pust turned to go out when he
saw a palm move. There was face!
He made a dive for it and in mo-
ment both he and the crook were roll
ing over and over.
Kennedy and the secret service men
were talking earnestly when they
heard the cry for help and the scuffle.

ish, but he was too weak. He fell
back, dead.
His pal had waited as long as he
dared to learn the secret. He jumped
up and ran out just as we burst into
the hiding place.
Kennedy dropped down by the dead
man and searched him, while l dashed
after the other fellow.
When 1 returned l found Kennedy

to go and find the fellow" He hand

arates us today-give this note to

Meanwhile, as nearly as I can now
make out, Kennedy searched the dead
man again. There was certainly no
clue to his identity on him, nor had
he the torpedo model. Craig looked
about. Suddenly he fell fiat on his
stomach.
There was WI Fang himself coming
to the wharf, carrying the model of
the torpedo which had been stolen in
Washington and brought up to him by
his emissary. & a. a Z.
Kennedy, crouching down and TAX
ing advantage of every object that
sheltered him, crawled cautiously into
an angle. Unsuspecting WI came to
the land end of the wharf.
There he saw his lieutenant dead

ment and examined the man.

better now, was waiting. He had
pulled a long coat over his Chinese
clothes and wore a SLOUGH hat. AS
he looked at the incoming passengers
he spied the man he was waiting for,
the young crook who had been walt
ing in the shrubbery outside the nay
building when the torpedo model was
thrown out.
The man had the model carefully
wrapped up under his arm. AS his eye
travelled over the crowd he recognized
WI, but did not betray it. He walked
by, and as he passed hastily handed
WI the package containing the model.
WI slipped it under his coat. Then
each went his way, in opposite d1rec-
lions.
It was a close race between the car
bearing the two crooks and that which
Kennedy had impressed into service,
but we kept on through the city and
out across the country, into Connecti-
cut
Time and again they almost got
away, until it became a question of
following tire tracks: Once we came
to a cross roads and Kennedy stopped
and leaped out. Deeply planted in
the mud he could see the tracks of
the car ahead leading out by the left
road Close beside the tire tracks
were the footprints of two men going
up the right-hand road toward the
sound.
"You follow the car md the driver,
decided Craid hastily indicating the
road by which it had gone. I'll fol-
low the footprints
The secret service men jumped
back into the car and Kennedy and
I went along the shore road follow
ing the two crooks.
Already the wounded crook, sup
ported by his pal, had made his way
down to the water and had come to
a long wharf. There, near the land
end, they had secret hiding place
into which they went. The other crook
drew forth a smoke signal and began
to prepare it.
Kennedy and I were able, now, to
move faster than they. AS we came
in sight of the wharf, Kennedy paused.
There they are, two of them," he
indicated.
could just make them out in their
hiding place. The, fellow who had
stolen the torpedo was by this time so
weak from loss of blood that he could
hardly hold his head up, while the
other hurried to fix the smoke signal.
He happened to glance up and saw us.
Come, Red, brace up" he muttered.
''They'ro on our TRAIL

Instantly there was the greatest ex-

CONQUtROR CON. IS
SINKING TO FAULT
WAY IN NORTHERN PART
OF DISTRICT

Sinking is in progress on tbs
property of the Conqueror Consoil
dated Mines company, under the d.
lection of j. p Sweeney of Gold
field, who controls the property.
Work has been going forward for
some time past and Mr.. Sweeney ex.
poets to reach, within the next two
CT three weeks, the contact vein OF
ore channel lying along the course
o. the Columbia mountain fault.
This will be the first work to pene-
trate and explore the fault plane of
this great fissure at any appreciablc
depth and the results of the present
work will be watched with interest
by mining men of the district.
In the early days of the camps ac,
tivity the COnqueror produced a con-
siderable quantity of shipping Gre
from workings at or near the sur
face, much of this ore coming from
an open GLORY hole" near the big
fault. Good assays have been OBJ
tanned at a number of points in
prospecting at the surface along the
course of the fault, which is appar-
emily the main fissure through whicn
the mineralized solutions reached the
surface and caused the surface en-
richment found here.

Daisy property being operated under
a two and half year lease by the
Justice Gold Mines company in con
junction with it's adjoining God

of an average value of better than
$50 per ton have already been ex-

New equipment to supplement tn.
settling capacity of the Aurora Con

which controls the Aurora Consoli
dated. The plant is expected to be
in full operation and again treating
500 tons daily by the first of April at
the latest.
The additions now being made to
the big plant are designed to effect
an increased saving of the gold on
tent of the ore, which is for the
most part of comparatively low
grade, but is susceptible to treatment
by processes that are inexpensive,
and it is believed that with the in
stallation of the new settling equip
ment high recovery will be effect
ed. The product is chiefly in the
form of zinc precipitates, and this is
shipped to the Goldfield Consolidated
mill and reduced to bullion in the
refinery Of the latter company.

SILVER Pick SHAFT
IS GAINING DEPTH
SHALE CONTACT SHOULD BE
REACHED WITHIN NEXT
:. SIXTY DAYS

The main shaft of the Silver Pick
Consolidated is being sunk to the
shale contact at the rate of five feet
daily and Superintendent Walter
Norris expects TO complete the work
of sinking, probably about 200 feet,
and to be in readiness to begin ex-
ploring the contact within the next
60 days. The shaft had already
been sunk to depth of $50 feet and
a considerable amount of develop
ment work has been performed on
the. 550-fOot level, which has re-
suited in exposing ore Of good grade
at several points, particularly in
the drift along the hanging wall side
of the big vein and in two raises from
this level, near the hanging wall.
While sinking is in progress near
ly all of the lateral work will be
suspended, in order that there may
be no interruption to the work in
the shaft, but as soon as sinking has
progressed sufficiently work will be
resumed in the west crosscut on the
500-foot level This crOsscut, which
has already advanced 412 feet from
the shaft, is designed to reach and
explore three large veins that have
been penetrated on upper levels and
in which strong seams of excellent
ore have been exposed.

COLD WEATHER
RETARDS WORK
MANAGER VAN DYCK RETURNS
FROM SUNSET PROPERTY AT
RHYOLITE

E. S. Van Dyck, general manager
of tie Sunset Mining & Development
company returned to Goldfield Mon
day from a visit of inspection of
about a week to the property, the
old Tramps Consolidated, in the
Bullfrog district. He will spend a
few days in camp and then return to
his home on the coast.
Manager Van Dyck reports that
during the recent cold weather oper-
tarded through the slowness of the
lr"cif'tation ir the zinc poxes but
he is confident that this condition
will be gradually overcome as the
spring approaches. 1t was found
that to obtain a fully formed preci-
pitate it was necessary to put about
four times the normal amount of zinc
in the boxes. AS a result of this diff
ficulty, sufficient precipiates have
not been fully formed to warrant a
clean up in the new plant. The mill
is at present handling about forty
ons of ore daily but the capacity will
soon be increased to from 80 to 100
tons daily by the installation of ad-
ditional crushing facilities.
Conditions in the mine are highly
pleasing. according to Mr.. Van Dyck.

Atlanta Mines Co.
In the Atlanta property develop
ment continues with vigor on the
1750-foot level. where drifts, raises
and crosscuts are being driven to ex-
plore the ground at and near the lat
Grizzy Bear vein, which extends into
this territory. The crosscut from the
point where the hanging wall of the
vein was exposed has been driven in
to the vein for over 20 feet and the
foot-wall has not yet been exposed.
This crosscut revealed many small
seams of ore yielding good assays
and Manager Darcy has lately start
ed a drift to the south from the
crosscut, within the vein and follow
ing the seams of ore, in the hope
that an ore body of commercial size
will be found. The drift along the
shale contact continues to show ore
in varying quantity and the two
raises from this drift have been in
quartz of good character. No in
Ierruption to operations of the At
