Lieber nodded and went on. He
told his tale well. He had seen more

Gerry listened for a while, but he soon
wearied. What had all that to do with
him now? He wandered of and start

away from Alan. Alan was drawing
him, but he was bound in chains. He
must remember that. Then, too, what
Alan had said about fooling with the
normal level worried him. He must
go back and station guard at the

Gerry had never ridden a horse to
death before. When True Blue first
staggered he put spurs to him and laid
on his quirt right and left.
The roar of the river was so loud
that he could not tell II he had really
beaten the food or not, though he
could see just before him the long,
snaky ridge Of the main ditch banks.
He must get on.
But True Blue oni3 came to a stag

Alan that Gerry had projected his
spirit to his bedside to watch him die.
Alan tried to smile in defiance.
aCan't you speak," he whispered
aoarsely.
Gerry leaned forward. The question
he had to ask was stronger than he.
It forced its way through his lips.
Allan, what did you do with her? Tell
me that and I'll go away"
A troubled look came into Alan's thin
face. He frowned. 'Do with her? Do

our BOYS ON THE BORDER

FIe Ne first time since 1898, Ari-
zoK boys and men are under arms in
thesfedera1 service, called into the field
by the president of these United States
to serve their country. Just what they
will be called upon to do has not been
made known at the time this is written
They may be sent into Mexico to assist
in the task of restoring order and peace
and law ia that unfortunate country,
torn by the selfshness and anarchy of
its enemies. Or they may have been
called to the border merely to protect
American citizens on American soil, to
ward off repetition of what has hap
pened at Columbus and Glen Springs.
In either case, their task will not be
Light, for the monotony of patrol duty
on the border may be as wearisome as
long marches and far more distasteful
than active service in the field.
Whatever they are called upon to dc,
we are confident that Arizona's men on
the border will do their full duty, just
as they did it eighteen years ago on
San Juan hill There has been, Of late,
much criticism Of the guard, not of the
men, but of the heads of the military
department. Whether such criticism
was well-founded or not is not the ques-
ton now, for this is not the time for
criticism. A thousand Of our boys are
on the border, and thousands more are
ready to go. It is the spirit of the west,
the spirit of the real America that an
swers when the flag calls for MEN.
The response of the large corpora
tlons, many of whom are doing every
thing possible to encourage enlistment
In the guard, and providing for the men
who have gone with the colors is par
ticularly noteworthy. It is only an
other demonstration of the spirit of the
builders of the state, the men who are
developing Arizona's great resources.
At time when little men would cavil
and delay, they have taken such action

AMENITIES OF LIFE AT THE
FRONT

Certain Social amenities reported
from time to time from the battle fronts
in Europe and Asia emphasize the alb
sence of personal animosity between
the belligerents. Australian and New
Zealand troops have just occupied a
part of the British front in France.
Submarines lay in wait for them when
they crossed from Alexandria to
France, but they escaped and as soon
as possible took their places in the
trenches. A news dispatch from Lon
don says that on their first day there
the Germans hoisted banner on which
was written, Welcome, Australians. y
Perhaps there was a, little irony in the
salutation, but it may have expressed
merely a natural human interest on the
part of the Germans in the new condi-
ton facing them. That the fighting
men opposing one another may feel
little mutual hatred is understandable
Modern warfare is for the most part Of
the long-distance sort, and, besides, the
belligerents have no clear idea of why
they are trying to kill one another. IL
they have, they can enlighten the rest
of us, for we don t know. A year or two
ago we should have considered ridicul-
Gus the thought that a dozen nations
should go to war without knowing why,
but the world today is about as ignorant
OF the cause Of the present conflict as
were the peoples impoverished and
decimated by the Napoleonic wars.

will find the richest mine in the world.
and continued the soldier, gents, you
are welcome to it.
"The party started next morning for
their Globe mine. On their way they
saw the several things described by the
soldier-the tanks on the Stoneman
grade; Pickett Post; the valley sur
rounded by high rough hills and the
boulders. and just beyond, was the
little hill, just as described by the SOL
der. There said Regan, pointing to
the knoll, is our soldiers little brown
hill and the richest mine in the world
Everybody laughed, and the party went
on without even stopping to take a.
look at it. They reached the copper
mine, loaded the pack animals with
rich ore and started back.
when they again came in sight of
the little valley, Regan, who was the
leader of the outfit, gazed at the brown
knoll, meditated little, and, turning
to Copeland, who had more experience

and just look at that little hill. and we
will camp in the same place we did
on the way up Copeland went alone
over to the hill, climbed to the top Of
it and at once saw an outcrop Of high
grade silver ore-metal till you couldn't
rest. Some of it was worth $4,000 a
ton. Selecting few pieces Copeland
went down to camp. Next morning the
whole party went and staked all the
ground they wanted. The rock was so
rich they ran out bar of silver in
their portable forge, so they left the
copper ore and took silver ore instead.
They took 1900 pounds down to Tucson
and sold it for $500 cash. BY April is
they had the shaft started and went
on down with it. The ore was rich
shafts were sunk, some of them over
1000 it., but none of them got much.
The Silver King never levied an as
| sessment. It paid Its way from the
surface to the bottom of the shoot, and
produced several millions Of dollars
worth of silver. It was one of the
richest mines ever found in Arizona, or
anywhere else"
