T , Leaders of Low Prices,
MEXICAN } Heroine
] Of
GIRL’S | Sonora
Warned
WILD S
Of
Coming
RIDE | Flood
To become a heroine and gain wealth
by one bold stroke of daring is the
good fortune that has come to Kduarda
Silva, a young Mexican girl of the state
of Sonora. When the Montezuina dam
burst on the Rio de Sonora. she mount
ed her horse and raced down the valley
before the rushing flood warning the
people of the impeunding disaster, and
as a reward she has been presented
with a rich share of the Banco mine.
It is difficult to say just how many
lives Eduarda Silva saved, but she
warned over 200 people, counting those
domiciled at the various ranches, mines
and peon camps. Jim Taylor, superin
tendent of the Banco mine, declares
that fully half of this number would
bave been drowned or seriously injured
had it not been for the timely warning
she gave them.
On the morning of the day on which
the dam burst Eduarda rode up the
south fork of the Rio de Sonora looking

FULL SPEED DOWN THE GORGE,
for stray cattle from. her father's
ranch. She went along the side of the
dam and at the bulkhead found big
Tom Johnson in charge of four of his
ditch repairers, all of them hustling
and sweating to stop what looked like
an ordinary little leak in the towering
wall of earth, bowlders, interlaced logs
and sheathing planks.
For 20 minutes the hot work was
rushed, punetuated with exclamations,
the sound of spashing earth and water
and sharp, quick orders. Then the boss
climbed up to take a glance at the sur
face of the surcharged dam. When

, he came down. he walked directly to
i Eduarda.
| “Say, little girl’ he said, “we’re up
!against it hard and no mistake. We
can hold her for half an hour at the
outside. Ride like fury and warn the
! folks below to rush for the hills.
| You've got the right stuff in you. Now,
| skip!” .And he pulled out his big sil
| ver watch and glanced at the time.
| “Half an hour,” he muttered, *and
| then the water’ll knock us out.”
} Eduarda turned her horse and start
‘ ed down the gorge that later widened
i into the little Miramar valley, dotted
iwith several ranches. Romero Her
nandez was on his veranda mending a
! saddle when Eduarda dashed up.
. “Run for the hills,” she cried; “the
| dam is bursting, and the flood will be
here inside half an hour!”
Eduarda dashed on in her heroic en
. deavor,
There was method in the way she
zigzagged across the little valley and
took short cuts between huts, houses
and camps. IFor as she galloped along
at a breakneck pace she figured out
which of those she warned could warn
others in turn in their flight to higher
ground.
At the ranch of Miguel Ferrara she
secured a fresh horse and continued
her wild ride down the flinty roadbed
of the gorge to the collection of frame
houses, shacks and rude cabins that
marked the shaft leading to the Banco
mine.
Jim Taylor was in the superinten:
ent’s office. As Eduarda dashed up
Taylor grunted as she cried her warn
ing, but became a man of action in a
moment. e called to half a dozen
men, and the next instant the entire
camp seemed to know all about the
danger, and men were rushing about,
but rushing in a way that showed they
were preparing to meet the tlood.
The ore cars were whistled up, the
ore sent flying helter skelter, and the
sick from the hospital were hurriedly
bundled into the cars and sent up the
grade.
Eduarda was crossing the Arroyo
Seco on her way to the Sepulvedas
when she first heard the roar in the air
that told her the turbulent waters in
the big Montezuma dam had at last
triumphed over plucky Tom Johnson
and his gang of ditch walkers. But her
work was almost over by that time.
She was now out in the open country.
and only two families living near the
bed of the Sonora were in immediate
danger. These she reached in a straight
] gallop over a good road.
! And this is the way Eduarda Silva
{ cheated the greedy waters of the Mon
‘ tezuma dam and won for herself a
| share in the rich Banco mine.

At notime did he make any outery
