THE FIGHTING TRAIL"
(Continued from the last issue)
Episode -"The Lions Prey"

that 1 was very sorry could not wait until he returned, but important busi- ness made it imperative for me to leave immediately.
 Fortunately, I arrived before you left, so you can negotiate your busi- ness with me directly" Gwyn said as he strode across the threshold and beheld Won Bleck backing slowly toward him while Nan sat helplessly upon the box where the prisoner had been tied. Von Bleck wheeled in as tonishment. Gwyn's return was the last thing he had expected. In his hand he held Mans gun and he at tempted to turn quickly and fire upon Gwyn, but discovered that, upon fac ing the door, he was in a direct line to receive fire from the Fasteners gun. He had been covered first, and there was nothing for him to do but meekly surrender. Rawls, standing with a scowl in the doorway, regard ed the whole scene in disgust. He seemed ready to bounce upon Won Bleck and thrash him for having told Gwyn that he had the chart. Gwyn obtained the remaining half of the map from Won Bleck without trouble, folded it and placed it carefully in his pocket with the other, and ordered the central Powers representative and Rawls out of the barn.
 "The two of you," he said curtly and with a sterness that made both Won Bleck and Rawls heed his words, "had better get on your horses and ride out of town. If you want to be perefctly safe my advice is that you keep on riding even then"
 Dejectedly and realizing that they had been defeated, Won Bleck and his confederate mounted and rode down the trail toward the town of Lost Mine. Gwyn and Nan watched them until they had disappeared from view and then turned their attention tc the map. The two portions placed to- gether, made a clear chart of the To- eaton of Cordoba's cinnabar mine. Nan and Gwyn, now that they had procured the chart, decided to find the exact location without further loss of time. Balterman in New York, Gwyn explained, would soon be re- quiring mbre of the cinnabar to con- tinue the manufacture of the explo- sive, and, if they did not hurry their operations the whole nation would suffer. So, placing the chart in his pocket, Gwyn led the way and togeth- CT they rode along the trail to point where group of three pine trees, marked on the map, showed they were Approaching their destination. But

"Now that we have changed our positions r Il ask you my dear girl, just as I was asked, will you be so kind as to turn over the other half of the chart? I would not care to take any bold steps, but, might re- mind you, you are holding something which would warrant my risking all most anything to obtain."
 Gwyn as he rode at a rapid gait down the trail, looked back once or twice to assure himself that all was we'll at the barn. He did not fear leaving Nan alone with Won Bleck, for the prisoner had been securely bound and could scarcely move, he thought, let alone escape. At a turn in the trail, his horse stopped short. Gwyn's hand, almost automat- ically, reached down to his holster. But few feet ahead, riding leisurely along the trail, was Cut-Deep Rawls, tse man Gwyn was on his way to town to meet-the man in fact, that Won Bleck had confessed, held the other part of the chart to the cinna- bar mine.
 Rawl's horse stopped alost as abruptly as had Gwyn's, but it's rider was not as alert. When he lifted his eyes to see what had caused the un- expected halt, he found himself look ing directly into the business end of Gwyn's revolver. He started, sur- prised and frightened, and obeyed Gwyn's command to dismount.
 Reluctantly Rawls allowed Gwyn to rembve his revolver from his belt ahd then, from the bosom of his shirt he extracted the half of the chart. Gwyn took it from him, glanced at it to make sure that he had obtained what he desired and not blank sheet of paper, and put it in his pocket. Then, or dering Rawls to walk ahead, he turned his horse about and drove slowly back toward the barn where he had left Won Bleck and Nan.
 *
 When he arrived within about a hundred yards of the barn, Gwyn dismounted and approached the dil- apidated structure from the side, keeping Rawls always in front of him, covered with his revolver. A few feet from the door, Gwyn stopped and lis tened. He could hear the threatening voice of Won Bleck addressing Nan. At first he could not hear what the agent of the Central Powers was say ing, and then the words reached his ears plainly. There was a sarcastic sheer in the tone.

PARIS, July /. - Steps have
been taken to prevent the breed
ing of lice in the zones of the allied
armies, in order to stop the spread
of trench fever. This malady has
taken first rank in incapacitating
the soldiers of modern armies, as
typhoid and malaria fever did in
other wars.
The fight against the louise re-
suits from the finding of the Amer
lean Research committee headed by
Major r. P. Strong which concur
red with the medical authorities of
the British armies in convicting
the louise of transmitting trench
fever to soldiers.
"Delousing units" have been
formed and a system of disinfect-
ing the clothing of men returning
from the trenches has been put in
operation.

Ford Lost in Flood

Robert Johnson, in charge of a
mining property at lone, lost his
Ford truck in the flood in that re-
gion some days ago. The truck was
carried for a mile and a half down
a gulch and he found it with moth
posed. He is not sure that the re-
mainder of the truck is attached to
the wheel. The gulch had been dry
for months, but a cloudburst sent a
roaring torrent of water down it that
carried trees and rocks for miles.

MEN
DETRA|N|NG
At CAMP.
Elaborate System Is Employed i'm
Classifying Recruits For
Service

CAMP KEARNY, San Diego, Cal.
June 26.-With the arrival of e V
cral thousand men of the June draft
quota to begin work in the service
of their country as soldiers of the
10th division, there was set in mo-
ticn here today one of the most
highly organized pieces of machin-
ery devised in this part of the
country for executive purposes.
This was the organization for unit
ing the men into companies, assign
ing them to quarters, arranging for
their feeding and their examina-
ton, listing, classifying and mus
tcring into service.
Examinations, listing, classifying
and mastering all were done under
what virtually was one roof a
series of tents and buildings con-
nected by passageways. The me-
thods employed in factories to pro-
duce quantity output" and those
used in congested cities to direct
streams of traffic were united to
carry out all these operations with
a maximum of efficiency and mini
mum of time.
AS the men left the trains which
brought them here they were lined
IN and told off into provisional
companies, each of which was
marched to a company street. Squads
we're told off to occupy the tents in
this street. Cooks already were
busy in mess halls and at outdoor
field kitchens preparing a meal for
them. If it was lear a meal hour
they were fed; if not, and there
we're no other drafted men ahead
CT them, they were started imme-
diately on their round.
Formed into a long line, the re-
the series of buildings, thence they
we're to emerge as soldiers or men
unfit for service. Near the door
stood a group of officers and men
who took the finger prints of each
drafted man. The recruit then wash
ed his hand in gasoline to remove
the ink used for taking the prints
AS the recruit entered the build
ing, a soldier handed him a piece
of string and a numbered tag. The
first room was a dressing-or, ra-
Their, an undressing-rOom, where
the recruit stripped, tied his
clothes into a bundle with the
string and attached the numbering
tag.
Carrying the papers given him
by his draft board in his hand,
the recruit turned in the bundle
of clothes at a window. Beside the
window was a soldier armed with
an indelible pencil, who marked on
the recruits chest the number which
the tag bore.

BRAIN drill
LIKED BY
TROOPS
TRAINING TEACHES MEN TO ACT
PROMPTLY AND De
USIVELY

LONDON, June 5. (By Mail).
American soldiers, who prize men
tai as we'll as physical efficiency,
are showing much interest in a
brain drill' recently introduced
into the British army. Its purpose
is to teach the British soldier to
think quickly and to concentrate
the mind on what he is doing.
An officer lines up a company
and, as a preliminary to the brain
drill, puts the men throgh some SIM
pie calisthenics.
Now" he explains, when l say
do this you'll do it; but if l say do
that, you won't do it." He carefully
illustrates the motions to be done
and then the motions not to be done.
Ready? Do this, do this, do
this" The men obey. Suddenly his
arms shoot down by his side. DO
that" he commands. Unthinking-
ly, half the men fall into the trap
he has set. Amid the laughter Of
the rest they are ordered to fall out
and stand aside.
When all except two OF three have
been eliminated the game is chang
ed. The men are formed into two
lines, facing each other and about
six yards apart. A cup is tossed on
the ground midway between the
lines, and then the men, in couples,
one from each line, walk slowly up
to it and try to snatch it before the
other man car touch him. If, while
the cup is held by the snatcher, the
other manages to put his finger DID
him before he can jump away the
cup must be dropped and the con
test renewed. At last one whisks
the cup away and is off.
Grows and Cranes" is another
feature of the drill. Again the men
are lined up about 10 yards apart,
the officer standing between.
Those OF my left" the officer
says, "are cranes and those on NY
right are crows. If | shout crows
the cranes will dash off and the
crows will chase them. But if 1
shout cranes, the crows will dash
off and the cranes will chase them.
Now, are you ready?"
Then for nearly a minute he
stands, giving an imitation of an
automobile engine running free at
full speed. "C-r-r-r-r-" Both lines
stand tense and EAGER, awaiting the
word.
Crows" he enunciates at last.
Half the crows bolt instead of
dashing after the cranes. Inatten-
ton again. However, the quick
witted among the crows were after
the cranes in a jump.
This is all to teach you on the
spur of the moment" the office:
tells the men. "It r,sy be a case Of
life or death whether you or the
German moves first. You may be
the quick or you may be the dead"
Painting, the men march off. They
like the brain drill.

Due to a defective survey, John
G. Taylor, a big sheep owner, is
mourning the loss of a fully-de-
veloped alfalfa field near Lovelock,
which has been located by John T.
Funston, a recent arrival in Love-
lock from the east. Taylor planted
the field several years ago, but
neglected to perfect the title. Funs-
ton learned of this, took possession
and obtained title to the ground
from the land office. The field
contains 80 acres, valued at $125
per acre, making it worth $4,000.

will be continued south from the
shaft to catch the vein.
Its face is only a short distance
away from the shaft now, this be-
ing the point at which the excessive
flow of water was struck and the
company was forced to suspend
operations until additional equip
ment could be secured.
Cash Boy
Good progress was made during
the week in the south cross-cut on
the 1527-foot level, which is being
extended to a point under the shaft,
where a raise will be carried up to
make connections. This will per-
NIT direct hosting from the 1927
foot level to the surface.
Usual stopping operations
carried on, most of the output COM
ing from the u%nderhand stope in
No. 3 vein; 81 tons of ore were
shipped to the West End mill, all
of which was of good grade.
The North Star
The North Star company has been
following up the drag r on the
9OO-foot intermediate level, and
within the past few days it has
shown increasing values and better
width. On Thursday a vein was in
tersected within the fault, and
where it was we'll defined is very
promising. The matrix of the vein
is badly crushed and broken, and
the company is following the vein in
the hope that it will develop into
a permanent orebody.
On the 1OOO-foot intermediate on
the Ivanpah vein, drifting both
northwest and southwest is being
done, but no material change has
occurred, although in the southeast
drift the fault has been passed
nTOuSu anu IuC ioSO ID nv" ShO"
ing many stringers of quartz and
porphyry. The northwest drift is
following the vein.
Some minor prospecting is being
done on the other levels.
Great Western Con.
Work has been resumed at the
Great Western Consolidated Mining
company on the 11O0-foot level.
The shaft has been unwatered, the
new pump installed, the power
tested and demonstrated to be
capable of meeting any emergency,
and the taking out of the bulk
lead was started on Wednesday
last. Cross-cutting will be contin-
ued to explore the ground at this
deep level.
The pump has a capacity of 100
gallons per minute and it is not
expected that a flow of water
greater than about 900 gallons per
minute will be encountered.
The resumption of work in the
Great Western means much for the
western section of the TOnopah dis
trict, many of the prominent min
ing men of the district having
the greatest faith in such part of
this camp and great interest will
attach to the progress of work at
the mine.-Tonopah Miner.
