COMSTOCK MAY HAVE
ANOTHER GREAT MILL

Reports coming from San Fran
else state that there is now no doubt
that the Comstock Merger Mines,
Inc., will very shortly make another
payment on the middle mines and
one authority is quoted as saying
that in case the further development
work and sampling are as salts
factory a. indicated the Merger
company will begin mill construction
by the first Of July.
While the management has not
authorized any statement concerning
the value Of developed ore or the re-
suits Of sampling, it is freely ad-
mitted that these results have been
highly satisfactory and certain men
who claim to be informed in this
connection say that the average
value Of ore blocked in the middle
mines, above the Hale 4 Norcross
tunnel, is $500 silver and $3.50
gold per ton.-Goldfeld Tribune.

Elko Orchards In Good Conc ision-
The orchards Of Elko county are in
fine condition, and only in isolated
cases is there any evidence of a
diseased condition of the trees, was
the statement made by s. E. Merrill
after q trip to each Of the valleys
to demonstrate the proper method
Of pruning, grating, and handling
orchards and in addition the proper
way to care for the trees in order
to keep them healthy and producing
the maximum crops of the various
types of fruit.
Mr.. Merrill held demonstrations in
every one Of Elko county's fruit dis
tricts, and expressed agreeable sur
prise at the interest taken by farm
ers in his talks. He made an effort
to leave at least one of the ranchers
in each valley who understood thor
oughly the methods to be used for
the various things, in order that
should there be any Of the ranchers
who was unable to attend the meet
ings, he would not be denied the
benefit Of this knowledge.-Elko

J. H. Brite and R. F. Raine,

are now in the tolls Of the law, is
languishing in the Washoe county

CHAPTER XVII
Don Carlos.

Stewart took Nels Monty and Nick
Steele aside out Of earshot, and they
evidently entered upon an earnest coli
loquy. Presently the other cowboys
were called. They all talked more or
less, but the deep voice of Stewart
predominated over the others. Then
the consultation broke up, and the
cowboys scattered.
"Rustle, you Indians !" ordered
Stewart
The ensuing scene of action was not
reassuring to Madeline and her friends
They were quiet, awaiting some one
to tell them what to do. At the offset
the cowboys appeared to have for"
gotten Madeline. Some of them ran
off into the woods, others into the open,
grassy places, where they rounded up
the horses and burros. Several cow
boys spread tarpaulins upon the
ground and began to select and roll
small packs, evidently for hurried
travel. NelS mounted his horse to ride
down the trail. Monty and Nick Steele
went off into the grove, leading their
horses. Stewart climbed up a steep
tumble of stone between two sections
of low, cracked cliff back of the camp
Madeline's friends all importuned
her: Was there real danger? Were
the guerrillas coming? Would a start
be made at once for the ranch? Why
had the cowboys suddenly become so
different? Madeline answered as best
she could but her replies were only
conjecture, and modified to allay the
fears of her guests. Helen was in d
white glow of excitement.
Soon the cowboys appeared riding
barebacked horses, driving in others
and the burros. Some of these horses
were taken away and evidently hidden
in deep recesses between the crags.
The string of burros were packed and

She was more inclined to evasive kind,
ness here than to sincerity, for she
had decided uneasiness. The evift
change in the manner and looks ~t
her cowboys had been a shock to her.
The last glance she had of Stewards s
face, then stern, almost sad, and hag-
gard with worry, remained to aug
ment her foreboding.
Darkness appeared to drop swiftly
down; the coyotes began their haunt
ing, mournful howls; the stars showed
and grew brighter; the wind moaned
through the tips of the pines. The
cowboys below had built a fire. and
the light from it rose in a huge, fan
shaped glow. Madeline peered down
from the cliff. The distance was short,
and occasionally she could distinguish
word spoken by the cowboys. They
were unconcernedly cooking and eating,
Presently Nick Steele silenced the
campfire circle by raising warning
hand. The cowboys bent their heads,
listening. Madeline listened with all
her might. She heard one of the
hounds whine. then the faint beat of
horses hOofs. The beat of hoofs grew
louder, entered the grove, then the
circle of light. The rider was Nels.
He dismOunted, and the sound of his
low voice just reached Madeline.
"Gene, It's Nels. Something doin'."
Madeline heard one Of the cowboys
call, softly.
"Send him over" replied Stewart.
Nels stalked away from the fire.

moved to mount.

ashore 1 amt fergettin'," replied
Nels. "An' resign my job right here
an now!'
His strange speech checked the
mounting cowboy. Stewart stepped
down from the stirrup. Then their
hard faces were still and cold while
their eyes locked glances.
Madeline was as much startled by
Nels' speech as Stewart. Quick to
note a change in these men, she now
sensed one that was unfathomable

catch the name-"an' he was wild. He

Stewart muttered deep under his
breath, evidently cursing.
"Wonder why he didn't come on up

who kept tavern out West. Gene, the
reason thet red-faced coyote didn't
trail you up here is because he's
scared. He allus was scared Of you.
But 1 reckon he's shore scared to death
of me an Monty"
"Well, We'll take Pat in his turn.
The thing now is, when will that
Greaser stalk us, and whatll we do
when he comes?"
"My boy. there's only one way to
handle a Greaser. l shore told you
thet. He means rough toward us. He'll
come smflin' up, all soci'ble like, in
sinuatin' an sweeter n woman. But

other women, I'd rather enjoy seeing

Stewart underwent another swift
change. He started violently. A dark
tide shaded his face and a glitter
leaped to his eyes. He took two
strides-loomed over her.
"I'm not thinking about myself" he
thundered. "Will you listen"
"NO," she replied; and there was
freezing hauteur in her voice. With a
slight gesture Of dismissal, unmistak-
able in its f1nality, she turned her back
upon him. Then she Joined her guests.
Stewart stood perfectly motiOnless.
Then slowly he began to lift his right
hand In which he held his sombrero.
He swept it up and up, high over his
head. His tall form lowered. With
fierce suddenness he flung his sombrerO
down. He leaped at his black horse
and dragged him to where his saddle
lay. With one pitch he tossed the
saddle upon the horses back. His
strong hand flashed at girths and
straps. Every action was swift, de-
cisive, fierce. Bounding for his bride,
which hung over bush, he ran against
cowboy who awkwardly tried to
avoid the onslaught.
"Get out of my way!" he yelled.
Then with the same savage haste
he adjusted the bride on his horse.
''Mebbe you better hold on a min

Price.
Monty, do you want me to brain

hard ring in his voice.

Stewart raised his dark face Ev-

heard the rapid beat of a horses

hand fell upon Stewart, holding him

as he wrestled free.

How significant was the effect of his
words upon all the cowboys! Stewart
made a fierce and violent motion, ter
rible where his other motions had been
but passionate. Monty leaped straight
up into the air in singular action as
suggestive of surprise as it was of
wild acceptance of menace. Like a
stalking giant Nick Steele strobe over
to Nels and Stewart. The other cow
boys rose silently, without word.
Madeline and her guests, in a little
group, watched and listened, unable to
divine what all this strange talk and
action meant.
Hold on, Nels, they don't need to
hear it," said Stewart, hoarsely, as he
waved a hand toward Madeline's silent
group.
