The next morning I turned cut At
break Of day. before anybody else was
up, slipped into my clothes. straight
ened up my bunk, and dropped through
the ladder hatchway to the main.deck.
I had told myself that the reason
for the daybreak turnout was desire
TO see II the railroad people really had
been sufficiently In earnest about the
proposed copper mine branch to make
a survey for II: but the true underly-
ing push was q biting reluctance to
have anything more to do with Butler
ton, or even 10 sit at table with him.
Tiptoeing through the common room,
so as not to wake Daddy Hiram. I
broke into Jeanies kitchen and raided
the cupboard for a bite of something
TO eat. There was plenty of bread,
and some cold fried ham, and cutting
couple Of generous sandwiches. I
hlked out to make my breakfast in
the open.
The sandwiches disposed Of, I began
TO quarter the bench woodland back
and forth. searching for some indica-
lions Of the railroad survey. In due
time found one of the location stakes,
and from It's facing and the markings
on II, got the direction OF the proposed
line and was able to trace II for some
distance along the bench. As Dad
dy had said, II ran within a few hun
dred yards Of the Cinnabar claim. and
short sidetrack would make his sug-
gestion perfectly feasible; our ore
could be shot into the cars with but a
single handling.
From tracing the railroad survey, !
edged around to take another leok at
the possibilities OF the drainage tunnel
Daddy and / had figured on. Going
over the ground this second time, and
with some better knowledge OF the diff
ficulties, II appeared that we must have
ridiculously underestimated the prob
able cost. Pacing the distances care
fully, and guessing at the differences
In altitude by the heights of the trees,
! saw that II wouldn't be safe to count
upon less than a mile OF tunnellng,
and this, In the solid porphyry OF Old
Cinnabar, and In a situation remote
from the nearest base OF supplies,
would run--no, 1t wouldn't run; II
would fairly gallop into money.
Was this what Fullerton meant to do
II he could GUST mel That he was ut
terly confident OF his ability to drain

was II TO be donef Would he. or his
hackers, be willing to spend a quar-

The longer thought about II. the

resorted to. Fullerton. or his hackers,

Big NeWs From the
Lyons Pool

It is reported that the No. well
OF the Papoose Oil company, located
in the northwest corner OF the south =
east Of 25-ll-11, has been drilled
deeper in the pay and the Production
increased to 100 barrels an hour.
This operation, first topped the pay
at 2555 feet, found the first oil at
1850 feet and at last reports was
10 feet in.
From the large showing In TINS
well II appears that the richest part
Of this new pool will be found to
the southeast. The northwest dag
onal offset TO the Papoose producer,
owned by the Oklahoma Central OIL
company, was drilled 32 feet in the
pay topped at 2,553 feet, without
a material increase IN production
above 1900 barrels. so II appears
that the Papoose we'll certainly has
hit a soft spot.
