The Ira r. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scientific
causes upon which the Rev. Ira r. Hicks
bases his yearly forecasts of storm and
weather, it is a remarkable fact tina,
specific warnings of every great storm
flood, cold wave and drouth, have been
plainly printed in his now famous AL
manac for many years. The latest start
ling proof of this fact was the destruc-
ton of Galveston, Texas, on the very day
named by Prof. Hicks in his 1000 AL
manac, as one of disaster by storm along
the gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by
far the finest, most complete and beauti,
full yet published, is nov ready. This
remarkable book of nearly zoo pages
splendidly illustrated with charts and
half-tone engravings, goes as a pre-
MUM to every subscriber who pays one
dollar a year for Prof. Hicks journal
Word and Works. The Almanac alone
is sent prepaid for only 25c. Order from

greater part being from water and break

on Mrs. c. F. Merry Tuesday evening
when a number of her friends gathered

agreeably spent in the indulgence of
these various amusements. Dainty re-
freshments were served and the party
broke up at an early hour with best
| wishes to their hostess.

The Inter Mountain presents today an
engraving representing the Hanson-Ov-
erstrom beach gold dredge in operation.
A short description of this dredge was
published in the Inter Mountain some
weeks ago. 1t is the invention of sew
eral Butte mechanics, who propose TAX
ing it to Cape Nome in early spring.
The conditions under which beach min
ing at Cape Nome has to be done are
such that no floating dredges can be an
ployed, nor can any other machinery h a
is partly above and partly below water
be used successfully, owing to the heavy
swells and surf. In order to get a dredge
that is very portable and easily handled,
and being operative under all conditions
of the sea, without stoppage, and at the
same time taking up the gold as well as
sand and water, the following design has
been adopted and patent applied for on
same. A centrifugal dredging pump,
running at a higher velocity than the
usual sand pump, so as to be sure to
carry the gold along. is placed on a SUBJ
marine float that can be raised or sunk
at will by operating an air pump on
shore. The centrifugal pump is driven
by an electric motor, both being placed

LIFE STORY OF MRS. NAT COLLINS

NV life since childhood has been on
the plains and in the mountains. MY
father was one of the first to visit the
gold fields of Pixies peak. What is now
settlement of but two or three log cab
ms and a few tents. All provisions n
merchandise at that time were carried
across the plains on freighting wagons,
the ~freighters travelling IN large compa-
MES for protection against the Indians.
My first adventure of note came While
with one of these freighting trains on
the way from Denver to the East, where
I was journeying to attend school at my
old home in Iowa. The train was at
tackled by a band of hostiles, and ! was
captured.
was taken to the main camp and pre-
sented to the chiefs daughter as a play
mate, or, more correctly, as a pet. was
compelled to witness the torture OF pris-
oners almost daily, at one time being
forced to behold the burning a. the stake
of q Mexican prisoner.
Again, with other prisoners, I was
compelled to run the gauntlet, to
this day / Dear the scar from a wound
inflicted by a tomahawk in the hand OF
a bloodthirsty Indian. But, having fore
ed me to battle for life In an effort to
run the gauntlet, having inflicted a
wound which was Intended to produce
death, their thirst for blood appeared
satisfied, and every effort was made to
nurse me back to health.
/ While with the Indians / learned to
do bead work and decorations, obtained
a knowledge of their medicines, Wit
messed the ceremony of selecting chiefs
and medicine men, was taught their
beliefs, their dances, SUM their songs
and spoke their language fairly we'll.
After several months of captivity:
through the agency of the United
4 States troops, I was exchanged Tor four
Indian prisoners and returned to my
home in Denver. ).
This adventure was unfortunate: II
robbed me of an education. as from
! this time I never a another oppOrtu-
nifty to return to the East. and there
were then no schools in the West.
Following my captivity and return to
! nay home I made twelve round trips from
! Denver to. Missouri river points as cook
for a freighting train. my brother being
a wagon master. Wood and water were
scarce, and many times our only fuel
+. was dry buffalo chips. At times the

when nothing could be cooked without
it's being unfit for food. During these
storms travel was abandoned.
