There was no message from The stran-
ser In all the pack.
Doubling the evidence of her eyes. The
Girl went over them again and again
each time more shortly than before.
And when at last II was borne in upon
her that in three weeks of absence, The
Stranger had not written = single line,
the wild. happy, puisating expectation
with which she had sped home to receive
his multitude Of messages turned into an
unfamiliar doubt.
The room swan suddenly before her
eyes. Values beeame mixed in her mind.
as daSedly she removed her hat, and to
the eager Questioning of her mother made
no answer.
And when day by day went past with
still no word from The Stranger to whom
she had plighted her precious troth. the
beautiful faith in which she had given
her love was transformed into a bitter
ness and distrust toward all mankind
that would affect her vitality through
all the years that she should live.
Arriving in his own land, The Stranger
went first to his club. He was so en-
tirely devoid Of family relations that he
felt no haste in seeking his apartment
And when. at last, he decided TO go TO
the rooms he called home, he ran leisure
ly Through a packet of letters that was
handed him. smiling over the frequent
repetition of an<individual writing
Looking srst over the mail that was
Of business import. The Stranger finally
opened the letters The Girl had written
In such generous number, reading them
one by one in the order of their post
marks
And when he had come quite to the end
of the succession of exquisitely trusting
messages, he fed the packet to the flames
upon his hesrthstone, calculating:
"Joye! She really expected me to
wrttel'
And there was an infinitude of surprise

DOUGLAS SHELTERS RUNNING AHEAD AT
 THEIR FULL SPEED
Ore Bedding Plants, Erected at Great Cost, Prove Their Vslue-Month's Supply of Ore Is Still Ready for Fires.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 21.-The big 5melters of the Copper Queen and the Calumet & Arizona mining companies continue operations here at full ca pacity.
 They have ore bedded for another month of operations at full capacity even though not a pound of ore should come from the mines at Bisbee. The wisdom of the great ore bedding plants, installed at large cost when he smelters were erected, has had inc demonstration.
 Meantime ore is coming from the hines in larger quantity every day. The shipments are considerably below he high of the month of May, but are gery satisfactory. With the shipments jf varied custom ores which are com ng in they are enabling the smelters O keep up the standard mixtures with put difficulty in point of holding Up teserves to such extent as to remove my likelihood of later embarrassment. The mines can be a couple of months n coming back to normal at Bisbee without affecting the situation here.

TRUAX MINE SHIPS
 THREE CARS OF ORE
Recent Strike on Juniper Flats Gives Much Encourage ment to That Region.

The Truax mine at Juniper Flats, a few miles out on the road 10 Tomb stone, shipped three cars of high grade ore this week from the strike recently made. A 3O-f0ot shaft gives entry to the ore, which was opened on the surface. The deep shaft on the property is little to one side of the strike. Preparations are now being made to reach for the ore from the bottom of the deep shaft. This prop erty has had a remarkable career. IL has been shipping intermittently dur ing the last three years, always with ore on hand of high grade. A dozen times trench work has opened sensa- tional values, occasioning settlements. Wm. Truax, owner Of the. control, has kept constantly at development, oyor- coming all discouragements. The present outlook at the property is con sidered the best for the development of commercial body of ore of perma- nent character that has to this time
 been entertained. Should the property make good it will give the district
 probably big low grade enterprise in which the principal value will be gold, with copper. lead and silver attending.

MANY FOREST FIRES

 All of them were successfully hand led by the rangers and the emergency lorce of fire fighters which the gov ernment maintains at this season oi the year. Supervisor T. T.

SMALL OPERATORS
 NEAR GLOBE SHIP
 ORE THROUGH STATE
Shelters Closing in Globe. Miami District Cause Leas- CTS and Small Mine Opera. tors to Ship to Other Reduc' ton Works.

GLOBE. Ariz., July 21.-While the smelters of this district are closed down the smaller producing properties of the lesser companies and of leasers in this and surrounding districts which have continued operations are doing much in keeping operating smelters in other parts of the state going. This is true not only of the smaller opera tors of mining properties here but all over Arizona.
 For many Of these small operators the situation is nothing short of a bonanza windfall. For more than two years they could edge in with their ores only now and then at the smelters because of the fact that the plants were crowded to the limit with the ores of their own mines and those of concerns for which they were doing work under contracts. Ore buyers dodged the small producers. If they shipped it was largely on chance. But since the first of June the ore buyers again find them of much interest and their shipments go through without delay. They are experiencing the novelty. indeed, of pressure for ship ments and are getting their ore out with all the speed they can. The hay making season is with them. Every indication is that it will last until late in tine fall, and possibly well through the winter. At the very best it is 90 ing to be months before the big pro- ducers can get back to normal produc- ton and once more work their own plants to fullest capacity on their own ores. There are mining forces to re- construct, workings to bring back into efficient production form and an end' less amount of small detail to pick up and whip into line before the normal can again be attained. The dropping of a monkey-wrench in the mechanism of big mining organization is a ser ious matter. Meantime the little fel- lows are alone in reaping benefits, no other interests profiting dollar. How ever, with pressure put upon them and he means thereby afforded them, through smelter returns. to push their development as well as their produc- ton, some of the little ones are put in excellent way to make big ones. It is an ill wind that blows no good.

fects for the agent mentions only the

the sale on the spot, Many such
books are unreliable as to informa-
ton though they may be bound in

book RAY well be questioned when
its sale must depend on the prolonged

The Pacific Northwest Library AS

brarians posted as to the real value Of

through their committee. The Sub
scription Book CSommittee consists
OF the reference librarians of Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland. Their bulle-
tins are on file at the County Library
and may be consulted by any who con-
template buying subscription books
Librarians rarely recommend books
OF this kind unless they have taken
time to study them carefully and have
compared them with other works of
similar nature. This cannot be done
satisfactorily except in Il large city IL
hrarY with a good reference depart

necessitates correspondence with au-
thorlties and this delay in buying Of

 This is self denial day in Putnam. Cross workers here ask every per son, young and old. enthusiastic or in- different to clutch tight the quarter on nickel or dime that might be spent on some trivial article or to satisfy some incidental whi<c and give it to one of the Red Cross workers. who now, before the carnage begins and Uncle Sans boys will be bleeding and dying, are making ready thousands of sbandages and a hundred other articles with which to bind wounds and make as comfortable as possible the boys who do the fighting for the U. s. A.
 The Red Cross Is well on it's way members here are working and have been for weeks. They need money to carry on this work, and need 1t bad 1y. Every contribution. no matter how small, helps them in their work. A few big, liberal donations would help wonderfully.
 Stationed throughout the city today will be many of the Red Cross work CTS. They'll be thankful to all who remember and heed the self denial plea. Something is hoped for from all men, women and children and the more generous the gift the greater the good that can be done in the name of the giver. But every little bit will help and all will be gracfous1y recefv- ed.
