A number of years ago three pros
peotors were working some mining
claims south OF Prescott, Ariz. When
they left town they had expected to
return in two days, but finding more
to do than they had anticipated,
worked a third day without grub, In
order to finish up. They worked as
long as they could see, thinking they
should have no trouble in following
the trail after dark. The night, how
ever, was unusually dark and they
could not see the trail. Being fatigued
and hungry, they were losing mucb
valuable time roofing about to no pur

with them, and the idea occurred ts
one of the boys to rub the phosphor'
Gus from bunch of matches on the

thus making a sort of pillar OF fire by
night. The scheme worked beautt
