like a film through her head. Helen
was dashing out OF the ONCE when the
scream OF whistle signal bore down
on her ears. Confused as she was, 1t
meant nothing to bar. A chance, a
hope, had flashed across her mind and
her resolve had been taken-to reach
the passing track switch and side
track the fatal runaway before it
should strike and scatter to destruc-
ton the helpless passenger train.
Rocket. without a thought other
than OF alfalfa and undisturbed repose
in his dropping head, stood at hand in
the sunshine To his amaZement his
mistress running to him, headlong,
vaulted upon his back. In her fear,
she cried to him. The horse heard-it
seemed as if he understood. He woke,
quivering, at the impact of her body.
Whirling with his charge, at the touch
of the rein, so quick he almost bolted
from under his mistress, who was try
ing to seat herself, the brute galloped
with Helen down the main track for
the river bridge.
She painted at great drafts of sun

stretched and bounded under her.
With every stride her mind cleared.
With this, her courage mounted. 1t

she were sitting rocking horse, was
not likely to balk at galloping over

him his time. At the worst, any
bridge. she said to herself, must be
reached before it can be crossed. and
her eyes were already fixed hard on
the one she must cross. when she
thought she saw the great jack knife
span ahead moving mysteriously on
its balanced bed. Urging her horse
to his best, centering all Of her facul-
ties on mastering the ticklish task
ahead. Helen's eyes set in stare on
the jack-knife, to determine whether

realized now she was too late.
Without swerving for an instant
from her purpose: without shrinking
from her single alternative. and only

Lower Tunnel.
For the last week or two Merriam
& Merriam have been engaged in sur
face and underground surveys at the
Idaho & Los Angeles, the surface work
being running out lines of impatient
ed claims located last year. The drift
that is being run on the property is
now in over 1900 feet, and a decided
improvement in the appearance of the
vein has recently been noted. Parti-
cles of galena are in evidence in the
face and the vein generally appears
stronger and more mineralzed. 1t is
now approaching ground in which ore
is expected, according to the showing
of the vein on the surface. "A lower
tunnel was started at point which
will explore the vein over 500 feet be-
low the present tunnel. The Idaho &
Los Angeles group lies across the
Nine Mile Beaver creek divide, the
work in progress being on the Beaver
creek side. The group lies south of
and joins the Interstate Callahan and
is on a parallel vein.
