Mr.. Hyatt, here, nobody wanted me
to stay. My mother didn't like it; my

sneered at me; couldn't have gone on
if it hadn't been for-well, perhaps my
own stubbornness helped. To be laughed |
at is bad enough; to be cornered and |
made to sell is worse. And that's what |
has happened to me. | don't blame you,

Rouss stared at Elizabeth. CASTOR |
stared at Rouss. There was a deadly |
pause, during which Hyatt turned in
quiringly to Miss Farnum, and saw her |
raise hand warningly in his direction.
"Other arrangements" parroted Gas
ton. 1t was obvious that his quick, |
practised mind was speeding. II don't

"To an independent" smiled Elizabeth.

Hyatt, who is sitting here with us.
The announcement produced upon the
four men varying results. CASTOR seemed
least perturbed and surprised of all. He
was too much used to successes and fail
ures to be upset even over this deal.
The words fell on Hyatt's ears with
little force and left him simply in dazed
condition of asking himself whether his
hearing had gone wrong. He hadn't
enough money to buy the brick wing Of
the office in which they were sitting.
PUT Rouss, who had been fitting back
on two legs Of his chair against the
wall, abruptly dropped to the other
two legs, and bent forward, almost in a
crouching attitude, his eyes staring
at Hyatt. Then, recovering himself, he
leaned back and forced laugh.
"Why, Miss Farnum," he said, "you're
just having fun with us, aren't your"
1t was clumsy way of putting it. The
retort came sharply:
"You have never seen me posing as a

Rouss did not go out. He fingered at
the doorway, fumbling his watch-fob.

"Then, Mr.. Rouss,' she returned,

till after this other thing is settled? And
particularly as you are not yet quite able
to express it-?" i;
The last was bit cruel. 1t would have
been crueler if Rouss had caught the
meaning. He was too intent upon his
own brilliant plans. For reply he MUIR

At about the same time Miss Farnum
was calling Hyatt on the telephone
dts arranged for the first thing in the
morning, at my Office she told him.
@Youll be in by nine, won't you? Good
night-Edwin.' te9 e
A few minutes later Mrs. Farnum was
called to the telephone. "The thing is
done, Mrs. Farnum," came Rouss's jubil-
ant voice. "Your daughter is to meet the
representatives of the Trust tomorrow
morning
Splendid, Mr.. Rouss!' said Elizabeth's
mother.
THERE was cold rain falling next
morning. CASTOR and his secretary,
who rashly attempted to motor to Far
numville, discovered what a mountain
autumn rain was like. The chauffeur lost
his way, ditched the car in the clay mud
two miles from Farnumville depot, and
CASTOR and his companion walked the rest
of the way. They staggered into the
Escutcheon office, drenched.
When they arrived, the other three con-
ferees were seated in Miss Farnum's Office,
with a dense silence in progress. Rouss
was nervous and irritated by Hyatt's
presence.
Hyatt, absolutely at sea in respect to
the part he was expected to play at
the conference, contented himself with
sundry surreptitious glances at Elizabeth.
The arrival of CASTOR and Thornbush
drew an audible sigh from Rouss. He
helped them take off their drenched coats
with almost proprietary air. CASTOR
greeted Elizabeth-they had met before
with graceful cordially, and introduced
his secretary, Thornbush. Then he began:
"Miss Farnum | understand now the
real reason why you have decided to talk
over the disposal of your properties. It's
because, every time you use your car, you
run the risk of getting drowned
Elizabeth showed transient smile.

nodding pleasantly at Hyatt, "is new

OUTPUT OF BAUXITE
DURING YEAR 1915

The production of bauxite, the
ore of aluminium. in 1916 was 425,-
$50 long tons, which had a value
of $2,297,S25, an increase of 43
per cent in quantity and SO per cent
in value over 1915.
This is a notable increase for
the whole United States, but the
most striking figures are those for
Georgia and Alabama. In 1915 the
production of bauxite in these two
states was 25,0O8 long tons, The
output was increased to 46,410 long
tons in 1916, a gain of sc per cent.
A large part of this increase is due
to the operation of new and old
mines in central Georgia, notably in
Wilkinson, Meriwether and Sumter
counties.
The production in Arkansas and
Tennessee was increased from 272.-
O33 long tons in 1915 to 378.949

now proceed on a broad scale and

Merger Mines
New development work is being
conducted at a depth of 1850 feet,
in the northwestern part of the st.
Ives claim. Manager Lawrence is
driving in a northerly direction
from the connecting cross-cut be-
tween the Merger and Grizzly Bear
shafts, in order to seek the extern

that was found in the adjoining
Grizzly Bear mine, near this depth
and in the shale contact zone

On the 320-foot level the east
cross-cut is being advanced rapidly
and it is expected to cut the big
Columbia Mountain fault vein in
the near future, at a point where
this vein unites with the Rabbit
Trail vein, Both these veins have
been found to contain good ore
near the surface and the company's
engineers have expressed the belief
that important deposits of ore will
be found when the veins are pene-
trated at this depth.
Grandma Consolidated
Sinking continues at a good rate,
the formation being softer than for
merly and permitting of better pro-
gress. Seams of mineralized quartz
have been found at intervals in
sinking and it is apparent that the
shaft is at no great distance from
the hanging wall of the main vein
although the vein appears to have
assumed a position nearly vertical.
S~pearhead Gold
Drifts are being extended in the
shale contact zone. at a depth of
80 feet, where some good assays
have been obtained lately. Work
at this level is progressing in two
directions, while on the 450-foot
level an east cross-cut is thought to
be nearing the Wheeler vein, in
which lessees found some ore of
shipping grade.

MILITARY REGISTRATION
OFFICES OPEN JUNE 9TH

Sheriff Ingalls, and County Clerk
Robertson are now preparing for the
registration on June 5 of all men
of military age in Esmeralda coun-
ty. The sheriff stated this morning
that applications for voluntary ser
vice as registers are coming in fast
and that the election machinery
will be put into operation with prac-
tically no expense. A registration
office will be opened in each of the
six precincts in Goldfield and Off
ces will be opened wherever neces-
sary in other parts of the county.
1t is necessary that men of mill
tary age, regardless of previous un-
d~erstanding of the subject, i'm
mediately consult the sheriff or
county clerk in all cases where such
men are planning to be- absent from
Goldfield on registration day. This
is important. 1t is also advisable
for men of military age who are i'll
and will be unable to reach a regis
tration office on June 5 to i'm
mediately notify either the sheriff
or county clerk, who will arrange
for their registration. A man is of
military age from the day he be-
comes 81 until the day he becmes
81. The law does not apply to men

A certificate of registration is
given to each man after he has
registered and he keeps it in his
possession to show hat he has
registered if called upon to do SO
at a future time. A registration
card would be a paper of great
value if at some future time the
war department should issue a spec
lay badge, button or arm-band to
men holding them to show that
such men have registered and are
liable for military service in later
drafts.
A man known to be of military
age, without such a badge, would
shine like the sun in a c~loudless
sky and his detection would be a
simple matter. There is a heavy
penalty for failure to register.
The registration is a simple mat
ter. 1t is easier than voting, be-
cause the registration agent is com

BIG IRRIGATION
BILL IS PASSED
MEANS $1,1OO,OOO WILL BE
SPENT IN Ne
VADA

An appropriation of 100000 for
the reclamation of lands in the Car
son valley, which will bring be-
tween 1900 and $4,000 acres of
arid lands under cultivation, and
start another irrigation project in
Nevada, is carried by the civil sun
dries bill which passed the senate
last week after having previously
beer passed by the house. This
places the bill before the president
for his approval, which is said to
be assured.
The same bill carries a special
appropriation of 100000 for bet
terments and drainage of the
Truckee-Carson project in Churchill
county, where important work is
still to be carried out by the govern
ment. The 100000 appropriation
for the Carson valley project marks
the first big step toward government
irrigation of one of the richest farm
ing sections of Nevada, in which no
previous work has been done by the
reclamation department. That it
will be followed up by further ap-
preparations and more extensive
work, after being started, is certain.
One of the final acts of the gov
eminent, after it's surveys are COM
pleted, will be the construction of a
large reservoir on the west fork of
the Carson river, in the western por-
ton of Douglas county, about seven
or eight miles from Gardnerville.-

fenced to 90 days in the county

it several times. He had in his pos
session papers and railroad maps

appears to be code writing. The
papers are now being examined by

BIG TONNAGE

The new 500-ton daily fiotation
concentrating mill of the Consolidat-
ed Coppermines company began sub
stantial operations March 4, says the
Ely Record.
THE full feed was not reached
until March Is. A second unit of
the same size is being installed and
is expected to be in operation about
May Is. The company's March net
earnings from all sources over and
above all expenditures, including
construction, development and sup
plies for all purposes, will exceed
$4,000" says the Mining Outlook
of New York.
The above official statement from
officials of the company tells brief
ly yet with meaning the situation
surrounding this company, which
has been the butt of the mining
world for some years. Its stockhold-
ers have been patient and their re-
ward now appears to be in sight.

Just what and how soon this mean
returns for stockholders is, of
course, not to be predicted, but with
a continuance of the success of
March, meaning it's first months
run, and with 1000 IONS or more of
ore being treated daily, the outlook
for the Consolidated company is the
brightest in it's history.
Western advices state that the
company is shipping four cars of
concentrates weekly from the 500
ton plant. The concentrates are be-
ing forward to the Steptoe smelter
of the Nevada Consolidated Copper
company. Some high-grade carbon
ate ore is also being shipped to the
Garfield smelter.
The mineral claims of the COM
pany were for the most part owned
by the Giroux Consolidated Copper
company, which was taken ove by
present company in it's consolidation
of Giroux with several other proper
ties in it's immediate vicinity. They
claim some 1850 acres. In addition
the company also controls 1865 acres
of ranch lands in Steptoe valley, car
rying all the water rights of Steptoe
creek, which is sufficient to supply
a concentrating plant of at least
5000 tons per day capacity.
The first unit of the Callow flota-
ton process concentrating mill has
been giving satisfactory results. So
satisfactory have they been in fact
that directors were not long in or
dering the installation of a second
unit for the purpose of bringing ca
per day.
An estimate of treatment for the
first 10 days of March was 5000
tons, with average analysis of ore
milled being 2.61 per cent. The
net recovery vas 74h per cent.
Sulphide recovery was S4.3 per cent.
Concentrates produced about 400
tons of average grade of 21.4 per
cent.
