A USEFUL HEN.
Poultry Farmer Claims to Have bred
One That Does Work of Two.

Poultry Farmer Claims to Have Bred
One That Does work of Two.
Charles Helmke Of Green Village,
near Morristown. N. j., has a hen
which lays two eggs a day. says the
New York Press. The hen has been
watched carefully for the last month
and has not varied from that record
since she was placed In a coop by her
self. On two days she has laid three
eggs, but on the following days has
laid only one.
This hen Is not a freak, but Is the re-
suit of breeding experiments carried or
for three years by Helmke. He had
the idea it would be possible to pro
duce a breed of hens that would lay
every day in the year. He even thought
1t possible to produce hens that would
lay two egg a day. But he did not
know how near he was coming to the
desired result until March /. when he
placed this hen in a coop by herself for
observation. Since that time she has
laid sixty-eight eggs.
Helmke Is gathering the eggs for the
purpose of Matching. He has three sit
tings in operation. He believes that he
has produced the greatest hen for com.
mercial purposes In the world.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN.

Reports from the New Thunder Mountain
Gold Fields grow steadily better. There win
undoubtedly be a great rush into the district
this year. Last year the news concerning
the new discoveries of free-milling ore had
only begun to leak out and before October
more than 20, 600 claims were filed.
From every quarter there will be people
going to Thunder Mountain, and all win
want reliable information as to the best route
and how soon the trail will be open. Many
who cannot go win want to invest in a good
property there, and the time to do that is now
when money is needed for mine equipment.
The Thunder Mountain Gold Mining and
Milling Company has a splendid property of
l20 acres, across which there ia a tremendous
vein Of free-miling ore 30feet wide and rum
ming right into Rainbow Peak. Mr.. Charles
J. Perkins, General Manager Of the Company,
spent all last summer In the district. He is
now at the Company's eastern offices In New
York, where he will remain until some time
In May purchasing equipment and describing
the property to all who wish TO buy shares.
He also possesses full information regarding
the district and makes IL a point to answer
all questions about it, without charge, so that
all who are interested may write and get this
information free and at first hand.
The Company which Mr.. Perkins repre-
sents made its first public Offering Of stock in
January. and so many subscriptions have been
received hat a great deal of the equipment
for the min has been purchased and prepared
for shipment as soon as the way is opened for
travel.
1t Is estimated that fully three millions of
dollars of machinery and equipment is now
ON the way to Thunder Mountain for various
companies. One of the companies sold stock
q year & at 30 cents a share and now it Is
not to be bought for $500 per share. Thirty
other mines are opened and are getting into
richer ore every day.
The property which this Company owns Is
second to none in the district, and the more
one learns about it and its officers the greater
the desire becomes to own some of it's stock.

From among the ancient ruins or kho- desia. which are being investigated py archaoIoeists as being the orignal lahu ol onhir and of King Solomon's mines' many curious and valuable finds are conlns eo 1,ght among the ruins of huge temples anu other imposing structures which have peeh uncovered. ,.
 In these have been found many utens.,s' .s such as smelters, showing that the all,, sans of this prehistoric metropolis weie engaeed almost exclusively in the worA'ns of gold. These ruins show the work' puie and simple, of an ancient people wno nas q superior knowledge of building anu o1 extracting gold from quartz reefs
 Ono of the most valuable objects re- oentlv found which adds much to the au- tbenticlty of the ruins as those of ophir was a carved zodiacal calendar, when ID well preserved during all the centuries since it's interment. The drawings are such as could not possibly have been made ps the African kafIirs.
 One of the pictures Is an image or .he sun. similar to the sun pictures tounu III Asia Minor which belong to the Assyio- Babylonian period.
