CHAPTER TX.
The Rah-Rah Boy Functions.

Big Bill grumbled good deal at the
addition to the party. 1t would be de-
cidedly awkward If this stranger
should become rational and under
stand the status of the camp he had
Joined. The word of old Holt alone
might be negligible, but supported by
that of disinterested party it would
be very different matter. Still, there
was no help for it. They would have
to take care of the man until he was
able to travel. At the worst, Big Bill
could give him a letter to Selfridge
explaining things and so pass the buck
to that gentleman.
Gid Holt had, with the tacit consent
Of his guards, appointed himself as a
sort Of nurse to the stranger. Early
In the evening the sick man fell into
a sound sleep, from which he did not
awake until morning. George was
away looking after the packhorses.
bud was cooking breakfast, and Big
Bill, his rifle close at hand, was chop
ping young frs fifty feet back of the
camp. The cook also had a gun, load
ed with buckshot, lying on a box be-
side him, SO that they were taking no
chances with their prisoner.
The old miner turned from rearrang-
Ing the boughs Of green fir on the
smudge to see that his patient was
awake and his mind normal. The
quiet, steady eyes resting upon him
told him that the delirium had passed,
pretty nearly all in, wasn't IT. the
young man said.
The answer of Gid Holt was an odd
one. yep. fifteen.
Take 'er easy, old man." he said In his
shrill, high voice as he moved toward
the man In the blankets. Then. in a
low tone, while he pretended to ar
range the bedding over the stranger,
he asked quick question.
"Are you Elliott"
Eyes"
Don't tell them. Talk football
lingo as If you was still out of your
haid." Holt turned and called to bud.
Says he wants some breakfast"
ION the way" the cook answered.
Holt seemed to be soothing the de-
lirious man. What he really said was
this. "Selfridge has arranged a plant
for you at Kamatlah. The camp has
been turned inside out to fool you.
They've brought me here a prisoner
so as to keep rae from telling you the
truth. Pstl Tune up now"
Big Bill had put down his ak and
was approaching. He was not ex-
actly suspicious, but he did not be-
lieve in taking unnecessary chances.
II tell you I'm out of training.
Played the last game. haven't vel
Come through with square meal, you
four-fusher." demanded Elliot In a
Querulous voice. He turned to Macy.
Look here, Cap. Haven't l played
the game all fall? Don't l get what l
want now we're through"
The voice Of the young man was ex-
cited. His eyes had lost their quiet
steadiness and roved restlessly to and
fro. If Big Bill had held any doubts
one glance dissipated them.

Private Gus Andersen interesting
/ " relates in letter to his brother,
L J. a. Andersen, of his narrow and eX-
citing escape while in service. He
was discharged on account of shell
shock. He reports 16 Germans shot
in one day and one bayoneted. He
was private in battery F, 65th ar
Itillery He now wears a service stripe
for six months action and has an
honorable discharge. He was in the
front line two times for period of
six weeks each and took part in the
Chateau Tiery drive of July. He was
sent one day with a accommodating
party looking for stray Germans. In
trench cleared by Americans he and
his comrades found party OF four
German petty officers playing cards.
They gave the visitors grin of well
come. saying they were hoping for
their arrival, so they could get bite
of Americas white bread. The Ger
mans asked for time to finish the
game, which was granted, and went
happily to the American lines. Their
Icaptors were granted weeks leave
Ito Paris for their prize. Private An
dersen was then transferred to the
10Th artillery and acted as a message
bearer, driving motorcycle between
the lines. A shell, which threw him
40 feet from his motorcycle, gave him
the shock which sent him to the hos
pita1 and thence on his way home.
He wears a sharpshooter's medal for
the efficiency of his craftsmanship.
On first returning to consciousness
he thought of his message and be-
fore the stretcher-bearer reached him
had given it to comrade and sent 1t
ion. The Germans fear more the bay
onets and tanks and one and all
whom he saw declared they were
slowly starving to death and well
coined capture. One day while on
the fighting line he heard sharp
clink and taking his helmet off no.
ticed two bullet holes had gone
through it.

LEVIATHANO NEW
 VEIN HIGHGRADE ORE

The crosscut that is being run west from the 250 level of the Leviathan mine, and which is intended to cut the vein on the Copper Wonder, picked up a new vein about 15 feet from the station. This vein is two feet in width and the ore is of similar char acter to that found in the 100 level of the parent vein. Some of the ore is very rich in molybdenite, specimens brought to Kingman showing excep- tionally fine ore.
 The crosscut is being driven at the rate of six feet daily and the big vein to the west will be cut within the next sixty days. This vein is very large, the surface outcrop giving evidence of another Leviathan. A cut on the surface of this vein showed about eight feet of exceptionally rich copper ore, but no work was done at that point to further prove it up, as it was

AU1OISTS RECEIVE
 INJURIES IN ACCIDENT

Mrs. Sam Brethour had limb bro ken and was otherwise injured when an automobile that was stalled on Un- ion Pass mountain backed down over her last Saturday night. The car was being driven to Kingman from the Frisco and became stalled on a heavy pitch. The brakes were holding poor ly and Mrs. Brethour and son, who were riding in the vehicle, got out to put a rock behind one of the wheels. F. w. Sherman, who was driving the car, got out to crank up and the mo- ton set the car rolling over the rock Believing that her son was back of the car, and to save him from injury, Mrs. Brethour dashed behind the ve- hicle and was knocked dowd and run over.
 The car went over the side of the grade but was not injured to any ex- tent.
 Mrs. Brethour was brought to town and the fracture reduced. She is get ting along all right, although her sui fering for several hours after the ac- cident was very great.
Mohave County miner., 1918-02-02

intended to open it at lower level through the big shaft on the Levia- than. The crosscut will cut the vein at depth of about 300 feet and should reach it at a point where the big ore body is best.
 The Leviathan company is operat- ing its mill two shifts, but effort is being made to get more water and in crease the capacity of the mill ma terially. The pump is being lowered in the Copper Wonder No. shaft for the purpose of securing the supply from the drifts. This will be accom- plished in a few days and the water carried to the mill. Some water has been compounded from the runoff of the late rains and will help in the bet terment of the water situation. The company has immense ore reserves and could readily keep a mill of twice the present capacity running for a year without further development.
