"In thirty minutes Granite Mountain will crumble," echoed the deep determined voice of Brice, the Trust agent, who broke the silence of the gulch, speaking to Slocum, the treacherous employee of the Independent Power Co., who had come to the way of doing disreputable business by the cash route. Slocum fumbled with the electrical mechanism as his hands trembled in making the final connection of the switch, which would throw into service the daily wire to discharge masses of hidden dynamite placed in the tunnel of the independent for the purposes of destroying great works, to advantage a rival. Far up in the mountains, in the Devil's Chute, clinging to a cable car with 1,800 feet of drop, to the scene of this operation, is Stella, praying that she may arrive in time to prevent the catastrophe while Herbert, Brice's rival for her hand, is being rapidly lowered by a single rope, down the rock-ribbed canyon in an effort to join her in a dramatic dash to prevent the culmination of the conspiracy that will destroy the work of years, and be far reaching in affecting the life and fortunes of all the workmen in that neighborhood. This terrific, sensational slide, and the fact that the girl saved the day and prevented the destruction, make remarkable material for a thrilling pictorial play.
