No MERGER Of

Denial Made That Bisbee
Properties to Be Merged
Into One Company.

Bisbee, Ariz., March 9.-There is
denial of the report telegraphed from
St Paul that a merger had been made
Of the DEM and Shattuck companies
Of this district. 1t happens that the
two companies have many stockhold-
ers in common. but the local stock
holders know nothing OF any Joining
OF administration. The Shattuck, be-
sides shipping great quantities OF
very rich copper ore. has side re-
sources Of lead-silver that are to be
handled in a mill for which the build
ings are practically finished and in
which much OF the machinery already
Is in place. These ores are expected
10 realize a clear profit Of 81 ton

Dem Is Doing Well.
The DEM Is working out its own
salvation in very satisfactory man

poration could hardly afford 10 carry
on development at the expense OF
pumping most Of the water OF the
district. The mine has large bodies Of
excellent ore, which now may be
reached owing to the fact that the
adjoining Junction property is doing
much of the pumping The company
has ordered pumps and viii lower Its
water TO the 1900 level In the mean
time, on the 1850 has been opened up
a large showing OF ore averaging
around Is percent copper, something
rather better than known anywhere
else in the district at the present
time. This ore undoubtedly extends
over into the Junction, which is SAID
10 be reaching out for it, to add to its
already well developed reserves.
Two Years. Work Ahead.
It will take a couple of years more

great porphyry ore body on Sacra-

Queen company will have ready, al

In the Glory OF Autumn
Through mile after mile of this
jungle, the Americans worked their
way. worked their way through the
i%nterlacing strands of barbed wire,
and despite the steady fire from hun
dreds upon hundreds of machine guns,
some of them so planted that the ad-
vancing p%latOons would come within
a few feet of them before they were
discovered.
It was still the old Forest of Ar
gonne which has played so big a part
in the story of France, the same dis
maying forest which. a century and
a quarter ago, proved the undoing OF
q proud Prussian host which march
ed against the untried soldiers of the
newborn French revolution to defeat
at the Battle of Valmy.
Quite suddenly the other day it
flung forth its autumn colors. In
deed, to those watching from the near
by hillsides, it seemed as if it was on
that historic October Z, that the for
est of Argonne blazed all at once into
russets and Colds and puppies, with
here and there a scarlet tree, a:

(SiEned) The Committee OF Ten.

The committee of ten! This thing
had happened to her. Then 1t was
true that the half mythical committee!
of ten existed, that this terror Of Lib
Honia was real terror, which had her
by the throat. For there was no es-
cape. None. Now indeed she knew
that rumor spoke the truth, and that,
the terrorists were everywhere. In
daylight they had entered her room,
They had known Of the safe, known
of the code. Known how much else?
Wild ideas Of flight crossed her
mind, to be as instantly abandoned for
their futility. Where could she 60
that they would not follow her?
When she had reacted from her first
shock She fell to bordering the mat
ter, pro and con. What could they
want Of her? If she was an enemy to
the country, SO were they. But even
that led nowhere, for after all, the;
terrorists were not enemies to Lfvonia.!
They claimed indeed to be its friends,I
to hold in their hands Its future and
its betterment. Enemies Of the royal
house they were, of course.
She was nearly distracted by that
time. Sine was brave woman, ply
sically and mentally Of hard fiber, but
the very name signed to the paper set
her nerves to twitching. It was the;
committee Of ten which mad murdered
Prince Hubert and his young wife; the
committee Of ten which had exploded
a bomb in the very palace itself. and
killed old Breidau, Of the kings coun-
ell; the committee Of ten which had
burned the government house, and had!
led the mob in the student riots a
year or so before.
In this dread presence, then, she
would find. herself that nightN For
she would go. There was no way out.
The countess rang for her maid.
She was cool enough now, and white.
with cruel line about her mouth that
A1inna knew well. She went to the
door into the corridor, and locked It.

T: Madame will ret1rer'
"You little fooll You know what
I am ready for! !"
The maid stood still. Her wide,
bovine eyes, filed with alarm, watched,
the countess as she moved swiftly
across the room to her wardrobe
When she turned about again, she held
in her hand thin black riding crop.
Minna's ruddy color faded. She knew,
the Loscheks, knew their furies.
, 'Nadame!" she cried, and fell on.
her knees. "What have I done? Oh,
what have I done?"
''That Is what you will tell me- said
the countess, and brought down the
crop. A livid stripe across the girls
face turned slowly to red.
II have done nothing, swear IT.
Mother Of pity, help mel I have Done
nothing"
The crop descended again, this time|
on one Of the great sleeves Of her
peasant costume. So thin 1t was, sol
brutal the blow, that it cut into thel
muslin. Grooming. the girl fell for-j
