Colorado,

Now that the mine has been thor
oughly ventilated there Is renewed &C
tivity on the Onondaga holdings near
Georgetown.
Reckoned on the output during the
first five months of 1917, Colorado's
coal mines are capable of producing
1862 tons day.
The tonnage and value of the metal
output of Silver Plume are increasing
almost daily, there now being some
thirty producing properties.
In the month of June, the ore ship
ments from the properties of the
United Gold Mines Company at Grip
pple Creek reached $65,000.
Increased activity in mining in the
Silver Plume district is decidedly no
ticeable. The older mines are rapidly
assuming a production of pioneer or
boom days.
For operations in Boulder county
the Illini Mines Company has been
organized by group of Boulder and
Denver mining men to operate the
Wood Mountain mines at Wall Street.
Manager w. M. Kirk of the Pearce

compared with 2O2,O69 barrels, having
a market value of $173,506, in 1915.

Six carloads of copper-gold ore have
been shipped from the Copper Chief

averages from 500 to $50 ton in gold
and copper. Values are about evenly
divided between the two metals.
Copper Queen branch of the Phelps
Dodge corporation, the leading oper-
ator of the Bisbee mining district, pro-
duced between 5,500,OO0 and 6,000,0 900
pounds of copper during the month of
July, according to Arthur Notman, as
sistant mine superintendent. This rep

Within two weeks he became des-
perate. He rode the gap trail from
Sleepy Cat again and again for miles
and miles In the effort to encounter
her. He came to know every ridge
and hollow on it, every patch and
stone between the lava beds and the
Rat river. And In spite Of the cOun-
sells of his associates, who warned him
to beware of traps, he spent, under
one pretext or another, much Of the
time either on the stages to and from
Calabasas or in the saddle toward Nor
gan's gap, looking for Nan.
Killing time in this way, after a
fruitleSs ride, his persistence was one
day most Unexpectedly rewarded. He
had ridden through hot sun from
Sleepy Cat to Calabasas, where he had
an appointment to meet Scott and Le-
fever at five o'clock When De Spain
reached the Calabasas barn, McAlpin,
the barn boss, was standing in the
| doorway. YOU'D never be comm
from Sleepy Cat in the saddle!" ex-
claimed Mclnpin incredulously. De
Spain nodded affirmatively as he dis
mounted. "Hot ride, sir; a hot day.
commented McAlpin as he called a
man to take the horse, unstrapped De
Spain's coat from the saddle, and fol
lowed the manager into the office.
The heat was oppressive, and De
Spain unbuckled his cartridge belt,
slipped his revolver from the holster,
mechanically stuck it inside his trOu-
sers waistband, hung the heavy belt
up under his coat, and, sitting down,
called for the stage report and asked
whether the new blacksmith had So
bered up. When McAlpin had given
him all minor information called for,
De Spain walked with him out into the
barn to inspect the horses. Passing
the very last of the box-stalls, the
manager saw in it pony. He stopped.
This wiry, sleek-looking roam, con-
tentedly munching at the moment some
company hay, was Nan Morgan's.
"What's that horse doing here?" de-
manded De Spain coldly.
Before answering, the barn boss
eyed De Spain very carefully to see
how the wind was setting, for the
ponys presence confessed an infrac-
tion of very particular rule. "You
see," he began, cooking at his strict
boss from below his visorless cap a
questioning Scotch eye, ~ like to keep
on good terms with that Morgan gang.
Some of them can be very ugly. That
little pony is Nan Morgan's."
"What's her horse doing here?'
asked De Spain.
McAlpin made even the most incon-
sequential approaches to a statement

CHAPTER Vll-Continued.


Logan pushed back his chair. AS he
turned his legs from under the table
to rise, hand rested on his shoulder.
He looked up and saw the brown
face and feeble smile of Scott. Logan
with his nearest foot kicked Sandusky.
The big fellow looked up and around.
Either by chance or in following the
sound of the last voice, his glance fell
on De Spain. He scrutinized for q
suspicious instant the burning eyes and
the red mark low on the cheek. While
he did so-comprehensiOn dawning on
him-his enormous hands, forsaking
the pile of chips with which both had
been for a moment busy f1attened out,
palms down, on the faro table. Logan
tried to rise Scott's hand rested heay-
fly on him. "What's the rOw?" de-
manded Sandusky in the queer tone
of deaf man. Logan pointed at De
Spain. "That Medicine Bend duck
wants fight"
with man, Logan; not with a
cub" retorted De Spain, matching in
suit with insult.
Maybe can do something for you, "
interrupted Sandusky. His eyes ran
like flash around the table. He saw
how Lefever had pre-empted the best
place in the room. He looked up and
back at the man standing now at his
shoulder, and almost between Logan
and himself. 1t was the Indian, Scott.
Sandusky felt, as his faculties cleared
and arranged themselves every in
slant, that there was no hurry what
ever about lifting his hand; but he
could not be faced down without a
show Of resistance, and he concluded
that for this occasion his tongue was
the best weapon. "If I can," he added
Etif11y, I'm at your service"
De Spain made no answer beyond
keeping his eyes on Sandusky's eyes.
Tension, overhearing the last words,
awoke to the situation and rose from
his case. He made his way through
the crowd around the disputants and
brusquely directed the dealer to close
the game. While Sandusky was CASH
Ing In, Tension took Logan aside. What
Tension said was not audible, but it
sufficed to quiet the little fellow. The
only thing further to be settled was as
to who should leave the room last,
since neither party was willing to go
first. Tension, after a formal con-
ference with Lefever and Logan, Of
fered to take Sandusky and Logan by
private stairway to the billiard room,
while Lefever took De Spain and Scott
out by way Of the main entrance. This
was arranged, and when the railroad
men reached the street rain had ceased
falling. :t~.~3 3'
Scott warned De Spain to keep with
In doors, and De Spain promised to do
SO. But when they left him he start
ed out at once to see whether he could
not, by some happy chance, encounter
Nan.

Montana.

The Butte-Detroit mill is now in
shape to handle from 200 to 400 tons
of manganese ores per day.
The Southern Montana Oil Com
pany, we'll known in the Powell local
ity through it's operations in Elk Ba-
sin, has now about four carloads of
derrick timbers and material delivered
on the Spring Creek property.
The East Butte company made
surprisingly good showing in its out
put for the month Of June. The output
for the month of May when operations
were continuous throughout the
month amounted to 2,008,060 pounds
OF copper. The falling off in June was

shine than it had looked in shadow !;
and, true to it's traditions, not living
being was anywhere to be seen. The
door Of the Office stood ajar. De Spain,
pushing it all the way open, walked in.
No one greeted him as he crossed the
threshold, and the unsightly room was
still bare of furnishings except for the
bar, with it's two broken mirrors.
De Spain pounded on the bar. His
effort to attract attention met with no
response. He walked to the left end
Of the bar, lifted the handrail that
inclosed the space behind it, and
pushed open the door between the mir
rors leading to the back room. This,
too, was empty. He called Out-there
was no response. Mrs. McAlpin had
apparently gone home for while.
Irritated at the desertion of the
place, due, he afterward learned, to
the heat Of the afternoon, and disap-
pointed at the Illustration Of his pur-
pose, he walked back to the Office. AS
he lifted the handrail and, passing
through, lowered it behind him, he
took out his watch to see how soon the
stage was due. While he held the time
piece in his hand he heard a rapid
clatter of hoofs approaching the place.
Thinking it might be Scott and Lefe-
yer arriving from the south an hour
ahead Of time, he started toward the
front door-which was still open-to
greet them. Outside. hurried footsteps
reached the door just ahead Of him

and large man, stepping quickly into
the room, confronted De Spain. One
Of the mans hands rested lightly on
his right side. De Spain recognized
him instantly; the small, dropping
head, carried we'll forward, the keen
eyes, the loud-patterned, shabby waist
coat proclaimed beyond doubt-Deaf

knew her, was the relict of the late
Col. John L.. Pinney, who for many
years was clerk of the courts in this
county. She went to visit her daugh-

November. and when the news Of her
illness was received here a few days

and friends hope that she was con-
valescing. and that made the latest
wire, received late yesterday, all the
more saddening.
