East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-10-23

Robert Clayton's studio was on the
top floor Of the old-fashioned Park
edge Studio Building. Here, early the
next afternoon. tho artist was busily
arranging his easel and his model
chair with a view to the best light
effects, and was sorting some brushes
and mixing several tube-colors on a
palette. He glanced up in expecta-
tion as the studio door opened. But
as he saw Vanya Tosca's supple fg-
ure framed in the doorway his look
of expectancy changed 10 a slight
frown Of annoyance.
Noting his change Of expression,
Vanya moved slowly forward into
the room, asking tiInidly;
AREN'T you glad TO see me? Am
too late, or anything2"
TOO late?" he repeated, "why
you're not due here at all today. Your
sitting is for o'clock tomorrow
"Ohl" she cried, in childlike disnp-
pointment; then-"Is she prettiei

"She Is--she is different" (" he evaded

Accustomed though he was to the
vagaries Of his temperGmental mod

room, slamming the door loudly be.

THE RED MONARCH.
After Considerable Delay Compressor
Reported Now Running.


Information received this week is
that the new compressor for the Red
Monarch was expected to be running
yesterday. The machinery was brought
in several weeks ago and taken to
Bum station on the Nine Mile branch,
from which place it was to be hauled
over the hill to the mine. The snow
road, however, proved unsafe for
heavy loads, and it was found neces-
sary to take the entire equipment
around to Prichard, on the North Fork
branch of the O.-W. r. & n, from
which point it was hauled to the mine
up Beaver creek The Red Monarch
company has devoted much time to
exploring it's ground with diamond
drill and it is reported that this work
has proved satisfactory and will now
be succeeded by actual development.
The company has an excellent plant
and buildings to accommodate about
80 men.

THE COON DOG.
Group of Claims Near Beaver Station
Makes Good Showing.

Jacob Bentley was in the city Mon
day and reports much activity on
Beaver creek. He and associates have
a group of four claims and millslte
about half a mile below Beaver station
upon which they have been working
during the winter with very gratifying
results. The work so far consists
mainly of several crosscuts and open
cuts which have exposed a vein of
great promise, but which will require
sinking to explore 1t at depth. Assays
from the surface, Mr.. Bentley says, re-
turned per cent zinc per cent lead
2 ounces of silver and 50 in gold A
prospect shaft shows in the bottom of
the vein to be about 4 feet wide, all
of which carries low values in lead
and zinc which will have to improve
very little to make it of milling grade
In addition to Mr. Bentley the owners
of the Coon Dog group are George
Bentley, Sr, George Bentley Jr, and
Calvin Hunt.
