 We expect to put down three new shafts and crosscut 400 feet each way from the main shaft he added, flor the purpose of blocking out between 5000, ,000 and 1O,OOO,OOO tons of ore. That is the amount in sight now. No man can tell how great the am- ount would be if deeper shafts were sunk, but l suppose we'll be content to leave that for the next generation. Three million tons of ore are now blocked out"
 To Install Mill
 A 50-ton mill will be placed on the property next spring, Mr.Gal- win said. Its capacity will be in- creased from time to time.
 A crew is now on the ground and will be kept at work all win ter. To carry over until spring hundred tons of supplies and mining equipment were shipped in on the last voyage of the s. s. Victoria.
 The mine is not a new one, it was explained. Litigation, how ever, tied it up for long time and it was not until two years ago that the Alaska Homestake acquired it with all disputes re- garding title cleared away.

The Washington times., 1936-10-05

The work was finished the after
noon of the 7th. The preliminary
experiment to determine the kites
asensional powers and it's stability
in the air, was put off to the even
ing.
One more arrangement was nee
essary. to enable the boy who
would be in the nacelle to signal
the others to bring him back to
earth. 10
A signal light being out of the
question, Baxter took string the
same length as the rope of the
kite. After threading it in leaden
ball, pierced at it's center, he at
tached it to the nacelle by one
end. The other end was to remain
on the ground in the hands of one
Of the boys. BY letting the ball
slide along the string, the signal
would be given to bring the kite
back to earth.
Everything having thus been ar
ranged, nothing more was left ex-
cept to proceed to a preliminary
trial.
At 9 o'clock the darkness was
profound. A few thick clouds ran
across a Starless sky. At whatever
height the apparatus could lift it.
self it would not be seen, even in
the neighborhood of French Den.
The capstan of the Slough had
been solidly fixed to the ground
on Sport Terrace so as to resist
the traction of the super-kite. The
long line was coiled with care so
it would unroll without effort, as
was the string which was intended
to give the signal. In the nacelle
Briant placed a sack of dirt which
weighed exactly 1870 pounds, a
weight heavier than that of the
heaviest of his companions.
Doniphan, Baxter, Wilcox and
Webb stood near the kite stretched
out on the ground. At Briant'S
command they we're to life it, lit
tie by little, by means of ropes at
tached to the cross bars of the
armature. AS soon as the kite was
caught by the wind, Briant, Cor
don, Service, Cross and Garnett,
who manned the capstan, would
let the rope go.
Attention." cried Briant.
Were ready" replied Donl-
phan.
"Go!"
The great kite lifted itself little
by little, shivered under the breeze,
and inclined itself on the wind.
PAY out! Pay Quit" cried Will
cox.
And, Immediately, the capstan
unrolled itself under the tension
of the rope, while the kite and its
basket rose slowly into space.
Although it was imprudent, hur-
rahs were shouted when "the giant
of the air" left the ground. 1t dis
appeared in the darkness almost
Immediately.
Even though they could not see
1t any longer, they could feel that
the kite pulled evenly, which
showed that the breeze was blow
ing in the high zones and that the
traction was moderate, and that
the balance had been we'll placed.
Briant, wishing the demonstra-
ton to be as complete as circum-
stances permitted, let the rope
unroll to it's extremity. The kite
probably reached a height of seven
or eight hundred feet. The expert
ment lasted only about 10 minutes,
but it took an hour to haul in the
1900 feet of line.

the same hour, the actual ascen-
sion would take place.
And now they were only waiting
for Briant's orders to go back to
French Den.
Briant did not speak, but was
profoundly absorbed in his own
thoughts.
Lets go in," said Gordon, "it's
late"
Wait" said Briant. Eve a sug-
gestion."
Speak up" replied Doniphan.
We've just tried our kite and
it's been a success, because circum-
stances are favorable. We don't
know how it will be tomorrow. 1t
seems to me we'd be wise not to
delay the experiment"
No one answered. When it came
to such a risk, hesitation was nat
ural, even on the part of the most
courageous. And yet, when Briant
had added, who wants to go up?"
"I do!" quickly answered Jack.
LET mel" cried Doniphan, Bax-
ter, Wilcox, Cross and Service
together.
Then came silence which
Briant was not in hurry to inter
rupt.
It was Jack who broke it.
Brother" he said, "it'S my place
to go up. Yes!. Mel. / beg
you. let me go!..
And why you more than any
other?" asked Doniphan.
Eyes, why?" echoed Baxter.
well, because I must" an
swered Jack.
you must?" queried Gordon.
"Yes!. 80"
Gordon took Briant's hand, as II
to ask him what Jack meant, and
he felt it trembling in his own.
If the night had not been so dark
he would have seen that oil the
color had left the cheeks OF his
companion and that his eyes were
wet with tears.
well, broter?" demanded Jack
in a firm voice.
Answer, Briant!" said Doni-
phan, Jack says he has the right
to go up, but don't we all have it,
like him? What's he done that
he should ask it for his own?"
What I've done, I'm going to
tell you!" cried Jack.
"Jack!" pleaded Briant, who
wanted to prevent his brother
from speaking.
NO" replied Jack in a voice
broken with emotion. Let me tell
everything!. it worries me so
much!. Gordon, Doniphan, if
you are here. all . away from
your parents. on this island. .
I'm the cause of it. . 1t was my
joke my prank that caused the
Slough to be carried away to sea.
=. I united the rope that moored
the boat to the quay in Auckland!
Yes! a joke! And then when
I saw the yacht go out, I lost my
head!. I didn't call when there
was still time!. and then an hour
later. . in the middle of the night
=. away at sea! Oh forgive me,
forgive mel. " And the poor boy
sobbed bitterly while Kate vainly
tried to comfort him.
That's right, Jack" said Bri-
ant. you've acknowledged your
fault, and now you want to risk
your life to make up for it."
CHAPTER XXXV
Hes already made up for it,"
cried Doniphan. "He's exposed
his life many times in our be-
half! Now I understand, Bri-
ant, why you were always putting
your brother forward when there
was danger, anG why he was al
ways ready to go!. That's why he
risked his life in the fog to look
for Cross and me. Jack, we for
give you-Willingly, and there's no
more need for you to make up for
your fault"
