worth 1920 of 1890 and come from

times running as high as Is feet.
Four men operating a onestamp
mill, which they dragged in over the
snow last April, are taking from $40
to $50 day from the Lone Yellow
Pine mine on Ten Mile. The property
is owned by John Harmon and Dot
Morrow.
They are demonstrating their hold
ings in this way ultimately planning
to put in a substantial plant which
will save considerable values in sui
phides which now are lost.
The stamp weighs only 459 pounds
1t is run by a small overshot water
wheel and the ore mined, broken AID
fed by hand. The output is running
about $50 to the ton, which gives not
only a profit now, but indications OF
substantial earnings when equipment

The first ton of ore put through the
little mill was carefully weighed 1t
cleaned up little better than nine
ounces of gold.

tit to the people and would materially
injure the value of the Washington
Water Power company. This company
asked that the Montana and Thompson
mining companies be restrained and
enjoined from carrying out the agree
ment.
Decision Of Commission.
The commission says:
"The jurisdiction Of the commission
is confined within the limits OF the
state Of Idaho, and the operations of
the defendant power companies outside
of the state of Idaho can not be made
a subject of regulation by this COM
mission.
1T is clear that the defendant power
companies did not desire nor intend,
in the transmission herewith under
consideration, to do business in Idaho
as public utilities, and they certainly
had a perfect right to decline to do
such business in Idaho if they so de-
sired.
1T appears from the evidence that
the delivery of electrical energy to the
defendant mining companies takes
place in the state of Montana.
This energy is transmitted wholly
within the state of Montana over the
lines of the defendant Thompson Falls
Power company from the generating
station to the said point of delivery,
where the said lines end. The defend
ant power companies may be conduct
ing a public utility business in the
state of Montana, but they are not en-
gagged in such business in the state of
Idaho"
1t is held the question of constitu-
pany of the public utilities act is not
an issue for the commission to decide,
but one for the courts.
Next Move Undecided.

and her face flushed w~rathfully.
Whom does your land belong to-" she
demanded after a moments silence.
Are you q bondman to Bad Anse Hs

He looked away and rummaged In
his pockets for a few crumbs Of leaf
tobacco, then he commented with the
dreary philosophy of hopelessness:
Hits a Gods blessed truth tibet a

long as his life's his own"
So, she told herself, Bad Anse had
begun his war with boycott! She
could not even buy a foothold on which
to begin her fight. Back there in the
Philadelphia banks lay enough money,
she bitterly reflected. to buy the coun'
try at an inflated price, to bride its
courts, to hire assassins and snuff out
human lives, yet, since the edict Of one
man carried the force Of terror, she
could not purchase a few acres to
teach little children and care for the
| sick. At least 1t was a confession that,
for all his fine pretense Of scorn, the
man recognized and feared the poten'
TALLY of her efforts.
AS the bright greens Of June were
scorched into the dustier hues Of July
and the little spears Of corr grew
taller, she began to feel conscious Of a
certain drawing back, even Of those
! who had been her warm admirers, and
to notice scowls on strange faces as
they eyed her.
Somewhere q poison squad was at
work. OF that she felt sure. and her
eyes flashed as she thought Of its au'
thorship. Each day brought her new
warnings offered under the semblance
Of kindness and friendship.

The boy nodded his acquiescence
and hurriedly left the room. Juanita
gently lifted Dawn's head from her
lap and went forward to the hearth.
She had listened In silence, out,
ragged at this callous talk and this
private usurpation Of powers OF life
and death. Now 1t seemed to her
that to remain silent longer was al
most to become an accomplish.
Something In her grew rigid. She
saw the bent and lethargic figure OF
the bereaved wife and the stark, sheet
| ed body of the feud's last victim. Be
fore her stood the man more than
anyone else responsible for such con
ditions.
"Mr. Havey," she said, as her voice
grew coldly %purposeful with the ring
Of challenge, II have been told that
you did not mean to let me stay here;
that you did not intend to give these
poor children the chance to grow

CHAPTER X.

For q few moments Bad Anse Havey
did not speak, and Juanita dropped al
most Imply into the chair he had
pushed forward. Havey paced the mar
row length Of the room. pausing once
to gaze down at the rigid body Of the
dead man. At last he came and took
his place sQuarely before her by the
hearth, both hands thrust deep into
his coat-pockets. A long black lock
fell over his forehead and he impa-
tiently shook 1t back.
"In the first place." he began in his
deliberate voice, we've said some
things tibet I doubt not ye believe to
be true, but they're most all OF EN-

He flung back his head and looked
squarely down at her. his eyes mar
