Gas
Engines

How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
If they would only investigate
the different makes before decid.
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with a lot
of inventions, most people say,
"That must be a good engine.
Well, they buy it. In a little
while, to keep it going, they com.
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex-
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot OF
fixtures-they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine,
as we can prove to you that it is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner," as it
gives them but little work.

the "prospect" is sufficiently good
to locate and develop under the
requirements of the law. A statute
that required payable ore In sight
before valid location could be made
would make many mining locations
impos Iible.
Judge Hawley, in the case OF
Brook vs.. Justice M. Co., SO Fed,
LOG, 124, said: 'Logically carried
out, It would prohibit miner from
making any valid location until he
had fully demonstrated that the

mining location as to the sufficiency
OF the discovery. As to the character
of rock in a discovery the statutes
are silent, the only requirement
being "mineral bearing rock in
place." The mineral bearing rock
need not necessarily be vein or a
deposit of definite shape, size or
form, but must be mineral bearing.
Not infrequently valuable mineral
gold or silver, or copper. lead or
zinc sulphide.-may occur In payable
quantity In one portion of a rock,
when another portion Of the same
mas, a short distance away, may be
commercially worthless or actually
destitute of metallic minerals, or
their sulphides, or OF the secondary
products OF their oxidation.
The words OF the statute are,
"veins or lodes Of quartz or other
rock In place." What constitutes a
lode IL "a somewhat indefinite prop
osition, but IL Is as often determined
by commercial as by geological
consid iderations. BY "in place" Is
meant In its original position and
not In detached pieces In the
alluvial, or In a rock slide on the
side of the mountain.
Payable mineral is not confined
In Its occurrence to quartz. 1t Is
often found In limestone, in shale,
sand stone and various eruptive aud
intrusive and metamorphic rocks.
Not infrequentiy the mineral
bearing rock or ore is similar IN
appearance to the barren rock which
surrounds II. and the rock only
ceases TO be considered ore when IL
no longer pays for its extraction aud
treatment.
lt IL for this reason that the
phrase "or other rock In place" wa,
introduced into the statute. There
IL nothing ambiguous in the en-
preston "rock In place. " Every
class of claims that may be classed as

A few years ago an Aiken jury ac-
quilted the Broxton Bridge lynchers,
who, filed with mean wtiskey and
deyiltry, whipped a defenseless negro
to death without cause or excuse, and
an Aiken jury has acquitted Lee Green,
8 white man who killed in cold
blood, Abram Surasky, sew peddler,
rifsd his pockets and hid his body
in the woods. But horrible as such
travesties of the law are, they have
become so frequent nd so much to
be expected that even those who stand
for the enforcement of lsw and the
punishment of murderers have become
weary Of protesting and without hope
Of arousing a sentiment strong enough
to curb the evil propensities of our
people and to create respect for Law
sufficient to carry punishment to those
who take human life. Surasky was
murdered for his money, and we had
hoped that the regard tha5 juries have
heretofore evinced for the sacredness
