CHAPTER XVI

II was as though shades OF the past
had come TO life again, to repeat in
the Twentieth century happening OF
the Nineteenth. There was only one
dlffercnce-no form OF dead man
now lay against the foot wall, TO rest
there more than score OF years un.
I'll II should come to light, a pile Of
bones In time shredded clothing And
as he thought Of It, FairchIld remem.
bered that the earthly remains of
"Slssie" Larsen had lain within almost
few feet of the spot where he had
drilled the prospect hole into the foot
wall, there to discover the ore that
promised bonanza.
But this time there was nothing and
no clue to the mystery Of Harry's
disappearance. Farchild suddenly
strengthened with an idea. Perhaps,
after all, he had been on the other
side Of the cave-ln and had hurried
on out Of the mine. But In that event,
would be not have waited for his re-
turn, to tell him OF the accident! How
ever, 1t was chance, and FalrchIld
took II. Once more he crawled through
the hole that he had made in the cave
In and sought the outward world.
Then he hurried down Kentucky
gulch and to the Sampler. But Harry
had not been there He went through
town, asking questions, striving his
best to shield his anxiety, cloaking his
queries under the cover OF cursory re-
marks. Harry had not been seen. At
last, with the coming Of night, he
turned toward the boarding house, ans
on his arrival, Mother Howard, sight.
Ing his white face, hurried to him.
"Have you seen Harry" he asked.
"No-he hasn't been bee"
II was the last chance. Clutchlng
fear ut his heart, he told Mother How
ard Of the happenings at the mine,
quickly, as plainly as possible Then
once more he went forth, to retrace
his steps to the Blue Poppy, to buck
the wind and the fine snow and the
high, piled drifts. and to 90 below. But
the surroundings were the same: still
the cave-ln, with Its small hole where
he had torn through II, still the rag
ged hanging wall where Harry had
fired the last shots Of dynamite In his
Investigations, still the trampled bit
Of fuse with Its cap attached. Moth

Back into the black night. with the
winds whistllng through the pines
Back to wandering about through the
hills, hurryIng forward at the sight
Of every faint, dark object against
the snow. In the hope that Harry,
crippled by the cavern. might have
some way gotten out Of the shaft.
But they were only boulders or logs
or stumps Of trees. At midnight.
FnirchIld turned once more toward
town and to the boarding house. But
Harry had not appeared. There was
only one thing left to do.
This time, when Fairchild left
Mother Towards, his steps did not
lead him toward Kentucky gulch. In.
stead he kept straight on up the
street, past the little line of store
buildings and to the courthouse. where
he sought out the sole remaining light
In the bleak, black oullding-Sherlff
Bardweil's Office. That parsonage was
nodding In his chair. but removed his
feet from the desk and turned drow-
silly as Fairchlld entered

fore, shutting of the chamber from
communication with the shaft. tearing
and rendlng the new timbers which
had been placed there and lmprison-
ing Harry behind them!
Fairchild shouted again and again,
only gaining for his answer the ghost
like echoes of his own voice as they
travelled to the shaft AVID were thrown
back again. He tore OF his coat and
cap. and attacked the timbers like the
fear-maodened man he was, dragging
them by superlrurnan force out of the
way and clearing path to the refuse.
Hours passed. while the sweat
poured from his forehead and his
muscles seemed to tear themselves
loose from Their fastenings with the
sxartiou thst was placed upon them.

nounced. ut takes a six.foot hole
to reach II, and we can have the whole
story by morning. Let's goI'
Along the great length Of the foot
wall. extending all the distance of the
big chamber. the men began their
work, five men to the drills and as
many to the sledges, as they started
their double lacking. Midnight came,
the first Of the sIx-foot drills sank to
Its ultimate depth. Then the second
and third and fourth; finally the fifth.
They moved on. Hours more Of work,
and the operation had been repeated.
The workmen hurried for the powder
house, far down the drift, by the shaft,
Juggling back in their pockets the yell
low, candle-like fticks of dynamite,
with their waxy wrappers and their
gelatinous contents, together with
fuses and caps. CrImping nlppers-
the inevitable accompaniment Of a
miner-came forth from the pockets
of the men. Careful tamplng, then
the men took their places Mt the fuses.
"Give the word!" one Of them an
nounced crisply us he turned to Fair.
child. Each Of us'll light one Of
these things, and then say we'll run !!
Because this Is going to be some ex-
plosion!'
Fairchild smiled the smile Of a man
whose heart Is humping at Its maxi
mum speed. Before him In the long
line Of the foot wall were ten holes,
"upholes," "downs" and swimmers"
attacking the hidden ore In every d.
rection. Ten holes drilled six feet
into the rock and tamped with double
charges Of dynamite. He straight
ened.
"All right, men! Readyf"
Ready"
"Touch 'em on"
The carbide lamps were held close
to the fuses for a second. Soon they
were all going, splitting like so many
yenomous. angry serpents-but neither
Fairchild nor the miners had stopped
to watch. They were running as hard
az possible for the shaft and for the
protection that distance might give. A
wait that seemed ages. Then:

his face lighted.

Every cent that Robert FalrchIld
possessed In the world was In his
pockets-two hundred dollars. After
he had paid his men for their three
days Of labor. there would be exactly
twenty dollars left. But Fairchild did
not hesitate. To Farrell's Office he
went and with him to an Interview,
In chambers, with the Judge. Then,
the necessary permission having been
granted. he hurried back to the mine
and Into the drift, there to find the
last Of the muck being scraped away
from beneath the site of the cave-in.

WANT GODON|SKY to-
HOLD MASTER CLASS

Leopold GodoWsky Is without
any doubt one of the two or three
greatest living piapists, and one
whose achievements are such that his
name will go down in history to-.
gether with the pianoforte giants of
the past-Chopin. Liszt, Henselt and
Tausig' g's-Franz Darvas.
At every turn Leopold Godowsky
is flooded with requests for lessons
and master classes. Several requests
were made for a master class during
his days stay in Phoenix and nego-
tiations are under way TO see If this
can be accomplished Eugene Rede-
swiu has the matter in charge and re-
snonse is expected shortly. II may
he remembered that Alice RedeWill,
the young artist pianist who spent
many years of her life in Phoenix,
was an individual pupil of Godowsky
III Vienna. where she studied with
him for three successive seasons.
Several local pianists have also been
in the master classes of the big ar
tist. Frank r. Evans of the Arizona
School of Music: Claire Canon. now
residing in Glendale, and Eleanor
Lewis are a few of those who have
had the opportunity Of attending the
classes.
Godowsky's manager states that
the present tour will be the last the
pianist will make in the United
States and shortly he will return 70
his work abroad, where he will again
appear before the leading cities OF
Europe, which he left at the begin
ming of the world war.

He was liked and respected by all
his fellow officers and won the COM

URGES ARIZONA TO
USE BIC MEANS To
AID RIVER PROJECT

The Arizona, American National
plan for development of the Colorado
river on a scale SO immense, so gi-
Santic in its financial outlay as to
arouse interest in every section of
he nation. was urged by George III.
Maxwell. in an address before 100
;alt River valley realtors and busi-
less men at the Hotel Adams yester-
day afternoon.
We've got to go after this thing
N a big way if we hope to get the
support from eastern and middle
western sections that viii be neces-
-sary before this government will
make an appropriation to carry on
he work" Mr.. Maxwell declared
We've got to go after development
OF all of the resources of the Colo
rado canyon district at one time.
That is the only way we can make
The proposition look big enough to
arouse the interest of all sections or
The country. If we attempted to
build one dam now through a govern
ment appropriation of S25.OOO,OOV,
say, it could not be big enough on its
face to interest people along the
eastern seaboard or in the great
lakes region. But Il We go after an
appropriation of $250000,000, the very
iinrnensity of the proposition will
awaken and interest the public ev-
ery where. At the outset. they will
be either for or against the proposal.
Then you can launch your education
al campaign and get the support that
win make the project national in its
scope and insure its success.
The molding of public sentiment in
favor of this development program is
the one thing that will assure its
early completion. Mr.. Maxwell told
his audience. He referred to the

project as an example of what is to
be accomplished by arousing public
interest People in all sections OF
the nation are demanding completion
of that undertaking because of the
gigantic power possibilities and with
development of all potential power
projects on the Tennessee river, only
$40. 600 horse power of hydro electric
energy can be generated, he declared.
At the low water stage it only de-
velops 100000 horsepower. There is
potential resource OF 5000, 900 horse-
power on the Colorado river. he
added.
I'VE must get the people talking
about the Colorado river develop
nent program. That is our first big
task" he said.
Discussing the development pro-
gram. Mr.. Maxwell urged construc-
ton of the Glen Canyon dam first. as
a means of standardizing the river
flow. to be followed by construction
of the Diamond Greek and Boulder
Canyon dams.
Mr.. Maxwelrs talk featured the
regular bi-weekly luncheon OF the
Salt River Valley Realtors associa-
ton. 1t was an open session, to
which the general public was invited.
In opening the meeting. Joseph r..
Lotus, president of the association,
annouced that a meeting of the spe-
cial entertainment committee to COM
plete plans for the entertainment Of
the Chicago realtors. would be held
with the board of directors of the
association at the Water Users
building Wednesday afternoon at
1880 o'clock, to be followed by a
meeting Of the entire directorate at
2 o'clock. He then introduced W. J..
Burns as chairman of the day. who
in turn introduced Mr.. Maxwell.
President LOTUS appointed J. G..
Dobbins, Harold Edwards and Frank
A. jefferson a committee of three to
have charge of the next club lunch

solar as possible, derived from the users of such roads, Direct taxes on motor vehicles and indirect taxes on the use of them are suggested as sour ces of revenue.
 We commend the action of the gov ernor in appointing a commission to study our road problems so that mis takes may be avoided and that we may profit by the experience of other states and build roads that we need and can afford We favor a system that will result in roads being con structed efficiently and economically and that will reduce the cost of the Highway Department.
 We deplore the fact that ill some sections of the state special road dis trict taxes are burdensome to land owners adjacent to these roads. We favor some judicious means of read justment of such taxes by which those who use the roads will be required to help defray the cost and thus afford some relief to the over-burdened land
