The club has been considering the
question of enlarging the agricultur
al prospects contributory to tho city.
2,500 acres of this land belong to the
Russ interests. They have offered
$18 per acre to have tho land cleared
and as no one has seemed eager tQ
take up the work at this price, the
commercial club has determined to
give tho matter a try out. They reas
on that if they can do tho clearing at
a profit there will be no lack of labor
to take up the work once the matter
of profit is demonstrated. They plan
to take forty acres as an experiment.
In discussing ways and means to
undertake the work, two plans sug
gested themselves. One was to ad
vertise for bids and to make up the
deficit, which in that case would be
definite, by private subscription.
The second plan is to employ a fore
man and a gang of experienced slash
ers to go at this work and demon
strate just how much the clearing of
the lands will cost.
Such a move on the part of the
commercial club at the county seat
would lje one way to show public en
terprise1 but at this distance it would
seem that the land owners would be
getting the soft end of the deal.

Gallon and his partner, Wilkerson,
in a temporary camp, have been
searching for gold. Gallon has made
a lucky strike and tried to conceal the
fact from Wilkerson, who already
suspects his partner is not giving him
a square deal.
Tho partners are sitting around the
camp fire one evening when Wilker
son suddenly becomes thirsty. After
taking innumerable drinks of wntcr
he falls asleep. Gallon walks off some
distance from the sleeper and starts
drawing the plans of his great find
but every now and again he furtively
turns his eyes in tho direction of Wil

discover his secret.
Wilkerson awakens, observes Gal

ing at him and starts to run away
with Wilkerson in pursuit. Gallon
grabs his gun, turns and fires at Wil
kerson, A teriffic hand to hand fight
follows. Gallon leaves Wilkerson ap
parently dead.
Gallon after endless hours of wand
ering reaches the small mining town
of Jacito. A stranger takes him to
the sheriff's office. Gallon tells the
sheriff that he and his partner were
attacked by outlaws and his partner
killed.
The sheriff accompanied by his dep
uty and Gallon, goes towards the sa
loon and calls for volunteers. A crowd
soon collects. Out of the saloon
comes a half drunken boy, who cries
"I'm game" jumps on a horse and the
posse rides off.
As they gallop up the hill, the
drunken boy is thrown to the ground
when his horse stumbles. The others
ride on ahead. The boy lies dazed,
The horse gets on ts feet and whin
nies. "Who's coining?" mutters the boy
Through the brush he distinguishes
a faint form. It is a man. Could it
bo one of the outlaws? he wonder;
He draws his revolver.
"I'm Wilkerson." replies a voice.
Wilkerson confides his story to the
boy and ask him for help. The boy is
willing and the two go slowly on.
At the camp the sheriff and depu
ty find no one. The sheriff returns
and orders Gallon's arrest. The boys
bind him. Evening comes on tho
posse camp leaving Gallon by the
camp-fire. A crowd is left on wntch

Ion manages to sever his bonds by
holding his hands over the fire. He
manages to get to a horse and escape.
The posse pursue him. Gallon has
reached the thick underbrush and
when he knows that he is safe, lies
down and takes out the plans that he
has drawn, also a picture of a twelve
year old girl, his only daughter, Ruth
Gallon and with that picture close
to his heart he falls asleep, muttering
"I'll save the Master Key for Ruth."
Fearing to return to the scene of
his supposed crime, gallon leave? San
Francisco by ship for his home. Vis
ions of Wilkerson begin to tronblehim
Shortly after boarding tho ship he
finds an old sea chest which he opens.
He takes out a curious Japanese idol.
In the head of this he hides the plan
of his mine.
Tho captain of tho vessel is a brute.
Once out to sea a mutiny ensues, dur
ing which the ship catches fire.
Shortly after it sinks. Gallon is
washed ashore. Realizing that he lias
nothing to indicate the location of the
disaster, ho engraves the approxi
mate latitude and longitude where
the ship went down on tho key to the
chest, known afterward as "Tho Mas
ter Key". A week later he is rescued
and returns home where ho meets his
daughter, Ruth.
Five years ensue. Gallon returns
to the mines which he begins develop
ing. He keeps a diary and in this
writes a notation to the effect that he
has been searching for the secret of
his lost mines.
About this time Gallon writes to a
New York stock broker named Gate3,
asking him for advice relative to
floating "The Master Key" mines. On
the day Gates receives this letter,
John Doro, a young mining engineer,
calls upon the former and is tliereup
on engaged as consulting and con
struction engineer for Gallon. He im
mediately goes west to take up his
work. Here he meets Gallon's daugh
ter, Ruth.
Tho first episode ends when Gallon
takes his diary from his safe and
writes:
"This day has been a repetition of
all those gone before for the past five
'years. I am still seeking for tho
lost plans. 1 havo not yet lincvurcd
