He knew Alice; he knew that she would catch at this last hope, would find means of escape and hasten to the stranger who promised to restore to her the betrothed of her heart. He was roused from these reflections by the sound of a light step approaching through the shrubbery. Madame Yalta, absorbed in her reflections, seemed to hear nothing. Soon a white hand put aside the leaves, a head appeared between two ca- melia bushes, and Maximo rose, uttering a cry of surprise. He had recognized a face which shone an instant like a ray of sunlight, to be eclipsed almost immediately. “She I”. he exclaimed. “What do you mean 2” asked the countess, raising her head.

' They have been fortunate from the start and soon hope to rank with the shippers. The “World's” correspondent, Mr‘. J. B. Spurr, writes on June 6th: “I visited the McKenzie mine on Satur- day and found them opening up one of their new veins by an open out along a blufl’. This vein is about. nine inches in width, of which six inches are nplite and three inches are calcite. Four shots were put in whilst I was there, and some of the vein was fully nine inches in width showing a strong mineralization of nickel. chalcopyrite and cobalt. The vein matter is similar to that in the main shaft which carries 1.500 oz. of silver to the ton, and from which it is distant about 50 feet. Like. the main vein, there is no silver The McKenzie mine at Elk Lake has; This vein has been traced for over 200 It.
