were bathing in the CHATS. They
passed by these and presently came

the storm died away.
By and by she peered cautiously.
She saw the lion crossing the open
space between the temple and the jun
gle. She saw him pause. bend his
head, then lope away in the direction
taken by Rajah.
To Kathlyn 1t seemed that she had
no longer anything to do with the body
of Kathlyn Hare. The soul of another
had stepped into this wearied flesh of
hers and now directed its physical
manifestations, whiio her own spirit
stood gratefully and passively aloof.
Nothing could happen now: the world
had grown still and calm. The spirit
drew the sleeves of the robe snugly
about her arms and laid Kathlyns
head upon them and drew her down
into a profound slumber.

The cry was taken up by the specta-

laid beside the swathed figure. There
could be no horror in the wide world
like It. Smoke began to curl up from
the underbrush. 1t choked and stified
her. Sparks rose and dropped upon
her arms and face. And through the
smoke and fame came Rajah. He lifted

These are not the words of pro-.

of a fine hotel and were spoken at the

his vigorous handling of the subject
called forth great applause. From

carefully analyzed, liquor would be
found to be the rock on which the

TO RESUME WORK
ON DEM|J0AN CON.
OPERATIONS AT PROPERTY WILL
BE IN CHARGE OF c. III.
GITSCH

Active operations will be started or
the property of the DemiJohn Con.
solidated COMPANY Immediately after
the arrival in Phoebe, New, of G. HI,
Gitsch, who leaves for there today,
says the Salt Lake Tribune. An en-.
ergetic campaign of development
work has been outlined and Mr.,
Gitsch said yesterday that in all
probability two shifts of miners
would be started. Utah-California
interests secured the control of the
property recently and have had en-
gineers on the ground making a
thorough examination of the geologi-
cal conditions.
The property is located two miles
due west of Phoebe and consists OF
sever full claims which are patented
and two unpatented claims. A shaft
has been sunk to a depth of 800 feet
and considerable drifting and cross
cutting has been done by the former
owners. Under the former man.
agement ore of high-grade nature
was encountered near the surface
during the early period of develop
ment. A considerable tonnage was
shipped from the upper workings.
Throughout the claims of the COM
pany there runs a vein which has a
northerly and southerly strike and
which dips to the east. In crosscut-
ting and drifting on the lower levels
numerous stringers of high-grade
ore were encountered and recently
engineers have made surveys to de-
termine the necessary amount of
work to be done in order that these
ore stringers may be prospected in
the vicinity of the main vein. 1t is
the opinion of the mcnag ment that
these ore stringers are but the Off
shoots of the main ore body, which it
is believed must lie to the east OF
the present workings.
On the 200 level the engineers es-
innate that the required distance to
be driven to reach the main vein
will be approximately 80 feet. On
the 800 level, however, it will require
about 20 feet of work before the
main vein will be reached on account
of it's dip. The main vein is inter
sected by numerous cross assures
and these points of intersection will
also be explored from the various
levels. The property is thoroughly
equipped with hoist, compressor and
all the necessary mining machinery.

AMALGAMATtO PIOCHt
ELECTS new DIRECTORS
CONDITION-PLANS TO
ERECT MILL

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Amalgamated Phoebe
Mines & Shelters corporation held in
Boston, M. S. Browning of Ogden and
E. l.. Godbe of Salt Lake we're elect
ed as directors, according to a tele-
gram received by local officials of
the company, says the Salt Lake
Tribune.
Messrs. Browning and Godbe rep
resent the Ohio-Kentucky Consolidat-
ed Mining company's interests, which
company owns one-third of the Anal
gamated. The eastern directors rep
resent the Consolidated Nevada-Utah
corporation, which company owns
two-thirds Of the Amalgamated. The
Consolidated is a reorganization of
the Nevada-Utah Mines & Shelters
corporation.
A report that was made to the
stockholders at the meeting shows
that the Amalgamated Phoebe,
which is the operating company for
the two companies, is making good
progress and that the high price of
spelter is allowing the company to
more than pay for the large amount
of development work being done.
Regular shipments are being made
from No. 1 shaft of the company up
the hill from the town of Phoebe.
The water is being easily handled and
the ore bodies are developing in an
encouraging way. The Black ledge
is showing up large quantities of ore
of a good grade of zinc and also car
rying good silver values.
1t was reporte dto the stockhold-
ers that the experiments that have
been carried out on the low-grade
zinc ore show that a simple mill can
be constructed for treatment of these
ores. 1t has been found that the
ore will readily yield to concentra-
tion. The company has been ship
ping out two cars a week right along.
This Is a zinc product.
1t is believed that the mill will be
able to treat considerable of the
dump ore which was extracted dur
ing the early days of the property.

siders. He has isued q decree
which practically makes it y felony
SI anyone to trade with certain In
dan villages. A heavy fine is i'm
osed for the first offense while a
line and Jail sentence is imposed for
the second.
President Porras recently visited
the San Bias coast for the purpose
of inaugurating his scheme OF gov,
eminent monopoly in the trade or
that section of Panama and to in
sure the collection of import and ex-
port duties. Most of the Indian
chiefs have recognized the over
lordship of the president OF Panama
but there are a number of them who
persistently refuse to parley with
the great white chief and declared
their intention of having nothing 10
do with the government Of Panama.
These chiefs and their villages are to
be isolated if the presidents plan
works.
In a number of villages the presi-
dent found the Colombian flag still
| flying, the Indians declaring they
have never even heard of the estGb-
lishment of a republic of ranama.
These were pulled down promptly
and the Panama flag substituted.
