"but In this instance il led 90 my catch
ing the largest fish ever found in this
section of the country. IL happened this
way: was skating around the airhole.
and at last ran plump into IT, The low
er part Of my body went under the ice.
but was able TO hold myself up by the
arms. AT last man came 20 help me
out, but one Of my skates seemed TO
have become entangled in something
below the surface, and he had 10 call
for assistance. Several persons respond
ed, and by their united efforts pulled
me and four pound rock bass through
the airhole. The jaw Of the fish We're
held apart by one Of my skate blades
suppose. he added by way of explana-
ton, "that must have struck my foot
in his mouth when first went down"
1t was the unuttered consensus of
opinion that the speaker was a liar
There was a short pause. and the
man who had been waiting for chance
told of an adventure on Lake Superior.
He said that while skating there one
evening, far from shore he was pur-
sued by monstrous gray wolf. 1.-The
wolf chased me about considerably,
he said, but wasn't afraid. because i
always was good skater and could
beat any wolf that was ever created
when il came 10 getting around ON the
ice. After l had little fun with the
animal. making figure Fights and
things like that around him, i thought
would put him To some use. So made
a dash around 10 his rear and caught
hold Of his tail with one hand. / had a
shiny stick in the other and beat him
across the back with il. Well, gentle |
men, that beast was so shocked and sur
prised that he didn't know what TO do. |
He jumped around just like colt that |
was being broken in. l held ON tight, |
though, and he finally came to the con-
clusion that he wanted TO go home, and
lit out for shore
Gentlemen, know you will believe
me when l say that that was the SUI
preme moment of my life. There 1 was
a-holding TO the VOLTS tail with one
land beating him with the shiny stick
which / held in the other, and flying
,ver the CLASSY surface at the rate of
about 40 miles an hour AS we neared
he shore he slowed up some, and ON
'eaching the land lay down and died
rom exhaustion.
II have his hide at home now" con-
luded the narrator, ''and you can see
t if you want to. F."
This seemed satisfactory proof of the
ruth of the tale. AT least no one ques-
Toned it, and the meeting adjourned.

In short, with less than twice the num-
Der OF tons of rock crushed, the yield was
about five times greater. Ii is an agree

neer said to me yesterday: Sufficient
stamping facilities to treat the present
low grade ore and solution OF the
power problem is all the MERGED now re-
quires. IL would be natural TO suppose
that the third months run will be con-
siderably better than the first two.
The history OF the Pioneer in its six
months has been the converse of the Mer-
ced-that is, it has constantly from the
start crushed fewer tons per month, and
its net has increased on that basis OF
operations undertaken until the last
monthly statement OF the Pioneer CON-

It is the difference between a fully de-
yeloped property, at present, and one in
the earlier stages. The raising of the
stamping facilities to sixty on the Pho
neer, which is now in process OF being re-

and the earnings. Something OF a SINH
lar character will undoubtedly be done in
the MERGED with the fresh capital to be
contributed whether the first use of this
