1.-The Superstition mine," observed
Rhinelander, has always been good
producer"
At the mine matters were being
pushed rapidly forward for the selling
campaign. Driving back with Bill and
Lug, Seagrue had summoned the fore
man, hidden him dismiss the men and
dispatched his own two worthless to
the surface for bags Of ore. In the
meantime he and his foreman began
to get the rock ready. Bill and Lug
returned presently from the bag pile,
each of them bearing a sack of ore.
Lug was sent for more, while the 9th
ers deposited the rich quartz in read1-
ness for Rhinelander's examination.
At the assay Office in Las Vegas,
Rhinelander, accompanied by Storm
and Helen, was looking for the expert.
Rhinelander held brief conference
with him, telling him what was want
ed and asking whether he could &C
company him on a trip to the Supersti-
ton mine. The expert raised some OBJ
lection, processing other work on hand
but was finally induced to yield and
Storm was sent to procure motor car
in which the party embarked on its
return. The orders were to drive
straight to the Superstition mine.
Seagrue was almost ready for visl
tors. After an hours hard work with
his men, who had been distributing
the sacks and rolling the rich ore in
among the worthless rock, he directed
them to get ready for blasting. The
! foreman took a single charge and put
Bill and Lug to work on it..
Seagrue left the tunnel, the foreman
remaining under his orders to hurry
the shot. The moment Bill was ready
Lug got the dynamite, set the fuse and
completed the preparations. Outside

presence of the expert, and all started
together for the tunnel.
With Rhinelander asking questions

spellbound. Staring at Seagrue like
one stunned, Helen could only gasp:
My father?"
Yes, your father" repeated Sea-
grue angrily. How do you like your
hero now?" he concluded tauntingly.
Helen looked toward Spike. Spike,
is this true?"
He could not speak to her. He
could not even look at her. He only
turned to the sheriff and in voice
such as no man ever had heard from
him before muttered: I'm ready
The sheriff led him from the room.
Helen, with Rhinelander and Storm,
silently followed, leaving Seagrue, as
he turned again to his window, to his
own reflections. Nor were the loss
of the records and his excoriation by
Helen the only misfortunes that were
to come to him that cay.
He had long had control of valua-
BILE gold mine in the Superstition
range, and to his hackers he had en-
larged more than once with enthusi-
asm on the probability that their in
vestment in this mine would make
all of them more money than ever had
been taken out of the Superstition
mountains But the day before, drill
ers working in the main tunnel had
stopped suddenly before the rock wall
they were penetrating. One OF them,
after consulting in some excitement
with his fellows, called the foreman.
What's up?" demanded the latter
gruff1y. when he reached the drill bat
terry
"Everything's up" responded the
| man bluntly. It's all up with the

The foreman showed his worry as

him hurry with it, turned again to the
drillers to investigate. Seagrue was
returning from the bank when the
mine messenger stopped him in the
street of Las Vegas. This Mr.. Sea

Seagrue nodded CURLY. What do
you want?"
| For answer the man handed him a
soiled letter. Seagrue, tearing open
the envelope, read:

Seagrue, startled at the last sen
tence, volleyed questions at the mes
senger. The man could confirm the
intelligence Of what he himself had
seen before leaving the mine, and Sea
grue, telling him to hunt up Bill an6
bring him to the assay Office in Mair
street, hurried back to the bank.
Bill reached the assay office almost
as soon as his employer. Seagrue di

LOCAL MANAGER BACK
FROM NORTHERN TRIP
Confirms Story the Effect That Richmond Has Been Offered
Four Star Players BY New York Yankees-Whether
Offer Will Be Accepted Will Be Known Today

After spending a week in the North
in search of some good baseball ma =
.eriai for the Virginians this season,
Manager Billy Smith arrived in Rich
mond yesterday afternoon. Although
he has not yet signed any players. he
has been offered the services OF q
number of good men, and some
definite action with reference to them
will be taken before the middle OF this
week
As predicted in The Eirginian yes
terday morning, Manager Smith stated
last night that he had been offered
four star players by the New York
Yankees. but he declared that he was
not at liberty to give out the names
Of them at the present time. He SAYS
that they can be secured providing the
local club Will assume their contracts
which 1t Is understood. call for neat
little sums OF money. Whether the
Virginians will take the players will
probably be known today.
While Mr.. Smith was away he held
conferences with number of bis
league managers. including Bill Dono.
van, John McGraw, Clarke Griffith
and Buck Herzog. Just what the out
come OF those conferences were will
not be known until after the local
leader talks matters over with the
board of directors of the Richmond
Exhibition Company today.
The Richmond pilot declared that
there are a large number OF good
players on the market at this time
and that he will have a good team
