among them many women who took adj
vantage of the new law to cast their
votes. G. NJ. Watts was chairman. 1t

titled to the vote. Articles to remodel
or enlarge the stowe high and graded

highways and to appropriate $500 to re-

brought before the meeting in regard to
introducing a junior-senior high school

and a deluge which beat with fury
against his bare skin. He sought for
shelter, but there was none except the
house Of Nadina. He staggered blindly
toward the house, only to have his way
barred inperiously by giant Nubian
slave, who stood within the doorway
and who motioned him back into the
storm. He staggered toward the idol
Of Ishtar as though to seek shelter
from the storm beneath the altar, but
drew back instinctively. Meanwhile
the rain and the storm increased in in

Iadramut, the Arab horse dealer,

agreed it was best simply to warn
their friends against Jether and not to
denounce him publicly to the guard.
But Parsodias, the Mede, hearing of
the affair came to Jether tiercely, cry
ing:

shrilly:

But Tola and the others, without
even a glance of sympathy at either

standing alone, laughed and went their
way. The servants started to with

house, and Jether was left alone with
the Infatuated and raging Nadina. She
rushed to him angrily.

dice table and sobbed as though he
were back at Hebron, kneelipg at his

Tisha, with sardonic shrek of
laughter. rushed to Jether, leaned
across the dice table and plunged her
fingers through his hair, forcing him to
look up into her beautiful and hooking
face, while Pharis, the sea captain, and
the others crowded round.

BATTLE MOUNTAIN is

One year ago in the month of

shipped from Battle Mountain. No
body thought much about it. That

This 1917-April there were At
carloads of ore consigned from Bat
tie Mountain mines to the shelters.
Nobody seems to care about it. This
is only a normal growth. Each sue
ceeding month will note an increase
in the tonnage production of the
district. The development of Battle
Mountain mines is at a stage where
the great big mine will soon assert
itself and be heralded abroad.
In the absence of actual values, it
is safe to estimate this tonnage as
worth 100000. This is a nice
little stipend for a cold spring, not
ed for flakes of snow instead of dew
drops. Thirty days of work. That's
all.

MINE ON COMST0CK
MAKES SHIPMENTS
PROPERTY IN PART OF DIS
TRICT THAT is LITTLE
DEVELOPED

The ComstOck-Pheonix mine in
the east Comstock district shipped
out another railroad car of high
grade ore yesterday to the Hazen
sampler, the ore having an average
value of over $500 to the ton, says
the Virginia Chronicle.
superintendent George H. Drys-
dale of the company states that the
preliminary work is now practically
completed for sinking to greater
depth and within a day or two will
be well underway. The winze is to
be sunk at once for an additional
250-feet to the 80O-foot level, where
extensive exploration will be carried
on in the ground below the slopes
above that have yielded handsome
ly in the past. The present deepest
level is the ESQ, and the manage
ment is fully justified in believing
that big things will be developed
as the mine is opened in the lower
levels.
This section of the Comstock has
never been opened at a depth, and
the possibilities are great, in fact,
many believe that a big future for
the camp lies in this section. The
large ore production from this
mine on the upper levels certainly
warrants the extensive program of
development now being undertaken
by the company.
