While cunning for ducks on the

boat ventured too far down the stream

the falls in the boat and lost his life
but the other saved himself by jump
ing from one ice foe to another until
he got near enough to the shore to
grasp long pole held out to him and
thereby was saved. Certainly one
moral connected with this incident is
that it is not wise to go cunning on

One important feature in connection
with the conducting of mining opera

per cord. and mining timbers may be
figured on at a correspondingly low

the trouble is caused by the fodder
