sible to determine the amount of ore
that is being sent daily through the
mill.
After the ore has passed through
all the grinding and recovery ma
chimes. it is then headed into an
Oliver United Filterer, and an Oil
yer dry vacuum pump. The moisture
is removed from it in these two
machines and what is left is the
concentrates, ready for shipment to
the smelter.
As one travels from the upper ore
bin down through the mill, one fl
nally reaches the lowest level, the
last department of the mill, the
power plant. 1t is one of the most
interesting Here one finds bat
terry of five Cummings Diesels of
about 81 HIP each and into each of
which there is built an electric gem
orator. from which is developed the
electric power for the mine and
mill and for the lights for the en-
tire camp. All machines in the mill
are electrically operated by indi
vidual motors. Lights in the mill
are the late florescent type. Also
in the power plant one finds two
Gardner-Denver air compressors of
3l5 and 205 cubic feet capacity OPP
Grated by cat Diesel and a Cum
mings Diesel of IS and l25 HIP re-
spectively There is also a third
compressor, an Ingersoll- Rand ma
chine. 500 cubic feet capacity. OPP
Grated by cat Diesel of l65 HIP. Pipe
lines carry the air from the COM
pressors into the mine for the OPP
Grafton Of the drills. All machines
in the power house are on concrete
foundations and all foundations of
the mill are of concrete.
The capacity of the mill is about
$50 tons daily It is now being OPP
Grated full "a hours and it is ex-
peeted eventually to have the mine
in operation also the full "a hours.
The camp has complete water
system A dam has been built at
Bramlet lake for the storage of
water A pipe line carries the water
to the camp site, providing heavy
pressure water system and feeding
five fire hydrants. Most of the cab
ins have running water and cleo
trio lights.
Before the decision was reached
to build the mill. Mr.. Wade gave
the property thorough testing. An
extensive system of tunnels was run
to block out the ore bodies and
values were thoroughly tested. The
ore lies in a series of veins, many of
which extend entirely through the
mountain and which can be picked
up on the other side. On one of
these veins, at some distance from
the mill, second ore bin has been
built and from it an overhead tram
will carry the ore to the mill.
There are from 30 to 40 men on
the payroll and these, with their
families, make community of
about 100 people. The payroll will
run about $4,000 monthly.
Two or three years ago the old
Branagan property was taken over
by William r. Wade of San Fran
cisco, with whom is associated CAL
ifornia and New York City capital.
Mr.. Wade is mining engineer of
wide experience and has had charge
of the development throughout
They have spent large sum of
money in exploring the property
and later in the building of the mill,
roads and similar development
work. They now have the property
in production and concentrates are
being shipped at intervals to the
shelter.

tally agreed, but had the pro-
fessor actually solved the crime
with a hit-and-miss story? Who
would wish Adam dead2
Craig Gundrum had an age-old
motive for the murder. SO, for
that matter, had Marta. Gum
drum could have slipped back
into the Jungle if he had made
quick work of his search of the
storeroom, and aided by a flash
of lightning, he might have killed
Adam.
Most puzzling of all was Adams
reason for standing on the block
by the lioness. True, it was in
direct line with the door, but he
could not have seen anyone enter
exceyt in a flash of lightning.
Why had he remained there, in
stead of joining the ladies at the
table where he could have re-
assured them?
Abruptly, Brentwood started. Had
he heard steps outside?
He slipped his revolver into his
pocket and peered into the hall.
At Pats orders the entire house
had been left lighted, but he could
see no one. Yet the conviction
that some person had passed re-
manned.
Nella's room was opposite. Pats
and Adams divided the front of
the house. Then he noticed that
Adams door was slightly ajar. If
the thief had returned for what
ever it was he had failed to find
earlier in the evening, he Ger
tainly had courage.
The door opened a little more
and Nella peered out. In a long,
clinging white gown and with
dark eyes brilliant as stars, she
looked unreal. Had anyone told
Sidney that she had sufficient
courage to enter the murdered
mans room alone, at that hour,
he would not have believed it.
She saw him then and beck
oned. Still without speaking, she
motioned him within the room
and to a door which connected
Adams room with that occupied
by Pat. Then she indicated that
he must kneel at the keyhole and
listen.
Kneeling, Sidney could see only
the back of a divan that blocked
the door. He heard two guarded
voices.
"You should not have come
here. It's suicidal, under the cir
cumstances," Pat Langdon was say
ing.
"Langdon's friends and relatives
are al against. you, Pat" Craig

The talk became inaudible then,

center of the room.

pered. II decided to go to you.

"They have not really con-

they are under suspicion; that is
all we heard them admit"
She is after Uncle Adams

for me, she would have it all.
Oh, Sidney, I'm terribly afraid.

room and had turned toward his
own door when he heard a soft
tread in the hall above, and the
whimpering of a dog.

THE DOG COMES BACK
CHAPTER XII

It was after 8 o'clock when the
medical examiner departed with him
grim burden. Two more troopers
had arrived from the state barracks
and Plowman had concluded a pre-
lininary investigation. The fright
ened MEMBERS of the house party
had retired behind locked doors.
Brentwood found sleep impos-
sible. He changed into a dressing
gown, put his revolver on the
table beside him, ana tried to
think.
Outside the storm had subsidized.
Only quiet sounds of the country
side, the drip, drop from still-wet
caves, the low murmur of weary
trees, the weird boot of an owl
were audible.
Sidney's thoughts slowly clari-
fled. He could now arrange evil
dence in an orderly fashion as
lawyer should, despite the fact
that all of this concerned the MUIR
der of an old friend.
Much appeared significant. The
broken window in the Jungle; the
Lilliput gun in the paw of the great
ape: the hidden key; the short cir
cult in one part of the jungle while
the lights had been turned off in
the other.
Sidney CROPPED for an answer.
There was that fact that one could
have drawn a straight line from
the broken window to the new
Honess and from there to the cof-
fee table where tiny flame had
pricked the darkness beneath Pat
Langdon's piquant face.
Could Pat have been the desired
target? Had Adam, by chance,
been in the direct line of fire?
But Adam had been facing in the
wrong direction.
What about the ransacked desk
and the open windows in Lang
don's bedroom and in the drawing
room below?
The footprints of the mysterious
doog stood by themselves. 1t was
impossible to fit them into my
theory.
And who had made a shadow
against Marta's window?
Silently, carefully, Brentwood
reviewed events of the past 70
hours, searching in vain for some
careless word, some hidden action,
that might give him the answer
to this battling puzzle.
He considered various theories,
argued them out, rejected them
as impossible. Somewhere, in this
house, there was a clew that
would solve everything. Could he
discover it?
Why had Adam been shot? Was
it murder, or accident? An out
slider, or an enemy in the room?
Gundrum's story of valuable
map had its points, Sidney men

Columbus Never Admitted
Discovery Of New World

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
discovered America and never
knew it. The Great Navigator,
pictured on Italy's 10th anniver-
sary of the empire stamp, above,
died believing he had reached In
Ola. The statement is true that
"he didn't know where he was
going, didn't know where he was
when be reached there, and didn't
know where he had BEEN"
Columbus was an Italian, son of
weaver. His marriage to the
daughter Of Perestrello, noted
Italian navigator in the service of
Portugal, provided him with
charts and data which led to his
discoveries. Columbus carried his
idea for a westward voyage to
India to Italy and Portugal be-
fore obtaining help from Spain.
Columbus touched the American
continent for the first time dur
ing the third voyage, when he
reached the mouth of the Orinoco
river. It is doubtful if he ever
dreamed North America existed;
certainly he did not appreciate its
size nor its wealth
