fIsg Loss nv csfgeTivE FLuEs

The property owners Of the State
OF Wisconsin have suffered a loss DUR
ing the past sixty lays OF %4o,5l2 due
to p,ss1 /, ,nstralction or improper
care OF flues aud stovepipes. These
startling figures are shown by the
records in the fire marshals office at
Madison. Out OF three hundred and
twenty reports received in this time
sixty-three or an average OF over one
day have originated from this
source. The figures resulting from
the beginning of cold weather will
give some idea of what an enormous
loss may be expected before the com
ing of warm weather unless pre-
cautions are taken at once, which,
not entirely removing the danger,
would certainly result in avery large
reduction in loss. 1t is generally ac-
copied fact by those who have made
the matter a study that a few min
utes properly devoted would result
in preventing at least two-thirds OF
these fires.
The most common defects in Chin
neys are: ty construction
through the use of inferior brick or
mortar which crumble away, leaving
cracks through which sparks may be
thrown into the room or attic. The
building of chimney on an insecure
base, allo wing it to settle, causing
cracks, which has the same effect.
No chimney should be built on any
but a solid foundation, and, in case
plank are used as a base, at least
two layers of brick, we'll protected
with mortar, should be used to pro-
tect the plank. No ioist end should
be allowed t o res in chimney.
Chimneys built on slant gather
more SCOT and should be cleaned Of
tener. All chimneys should be swept
down from the roof at least once a
year and the SCOT removed from the
basement.
Stovepipes should be cleaned often
by taking down and thoroughly
scraping the inside. In erecting, care
should be taken to have good pro-
lection where it passes through a par
titiOn or roof and also that it does
not pass too close to exposed wood
work, as the heat is often sufficient
to ignite. The pipe should also re-
ceiye careful examination for rust
holes through which sparks might
be thrown. All unused chimney
holes should be covered by metal
caps.-Bulletin No. State Fire Mar

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause OF Your
Troubies.-A Ladysmith Citizen
Shows How 10 Cure Them

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is only
"a muscular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in they think it Will soon
correct itself. And so it is with all the
other symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is just where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles or they may
lead to diabetes or Bright's disease.
The best remedy to use is Doan's Kid
ney Pills. 1t cures all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Ladysmith people testify to permanent
cures.
Mrs. Pierce Brown, living in the east
ern part of Ladysmith, Wis, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills did wonders for
my little daughter. She complained OF
pains in her back and her kidneys gave
her great deal of trouble by their too
frequent action. She seemed to have
no control at all over the kidney secre-
lions. | consulted physician but she
did not get any satisfactory results
from his medicine. at last heard of
Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box
at Moneys Pharmacy. They helped
her Immediately and she is now better

The fire damp detecter of M. Hardy,

of equal pitch, one in the mine and
the other above ground, are sounded

spUps ARE KING IN MONTE VISTA
Eiehty-three Dollars an Acre Average
Profit on San Luis Crop.

Monte Vista. Colo.-Potato digging
Is just about finished here and the
astounding number of 100000 bushels
were raised this year In the territory
contiguous to Monte Vista. Two thirds
Of this enormous crop have already
been shipped to Eastern and Southern
markets and the other third will be dis
posed of within q week.
No trouble whatever has been exDe-
rienced in finding market for San
Luis valley "spuds," and In many Sec
tons Of the East and South they COM
mand a premium over the world-re-
nowned Greeley potato.
Five hundred thousand bushels is
100000 hundred weight. and, taking
present price Of so cents per hundred
weight as an average price, 1t is read
lily seen that the crop is worth $240.-
600.
Nearly $25O,00O has been added to
the wealth of the farmers around
Monte vista from the sale Of this, a mi
nor crop: for, Notwithstanding its gi-
gantic proportions. this must be con-
sidered a minor crop in view OF its
small acreage. as only about 1000 Of
the 100000 acres of farmable land
within twelve miles OF Monte Vista
Vista were planted in potatoes this
year.
One need not be dreamer" to see
that the San Luis valley has latent pos
sibilities which, II properly developed.
would make 1t a potato-raising territory
unsurpassed in the world.
AS to the profits realized this year, 1t
Ia seen from the above figures that the
average gross income from an acre OF
potatoes Is $120. The average expense,
assuming that farmer does not do any
Of the work himself. but hires 1t all
done. has been calculated to be $37 per
acre; thus it is seen that the average
profit. clear Of all expenses, to the San
Luis valley potato raiser for the year
Of 1907 is $S3 per acre. The original
cost of this land Is but $50 to $50 per
acre. Not much wonder that the land
investors are arriving in Monte Vista
by the hundreds. Land like this will
not be on the market for an average Of
$45 per acre much longer.
A few representative crops are given
below:
George Cole has the largest yield per
acre yet reported: on OF four acres
he raised 1926 bushels, or STA bushels
per acre. which. when sold. netted him
profit Of about $3.50 per acre.
E. C. Wright had in seventy acres,
which netted him profit Of $l25 an
acre, clear Of all expenses. And this
on land which he paid $50 an acre for
about year ago.
Zinser brothers had in 1870 acres.
which yielded $4,000 bushels. or 2sO
bushels per acre, which netted them a
clear profit Of nearly 500 per acre.
J. S. Campbell sold $2.465 worth of
OF an eighteen-acre field.
Tom Johnson raised 1000 bushels on
four-and "a -halfacre patch. These.
when sold. brought $716, or $l59 per
acre gross.

CRIPPLE MAKES GREAT STRIKE.
Ore That Runs $50, 900 a Ton 10 Dug
From Bull Hill.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-A 6 roat strike
las been made on the Dante property
on Bull hill. where the largest body OF
high grade ore ever opened in strong
and permanent vein in the Cripple
Creek district has been encountered
There have been numerous pockets OF
rich ore exposed and much greater val
ues have been obtained from small
streaks. but in no case has there ever
been seam OF picture mineral over
four inches wide that held out with de-
velopment work.
The high grade Just opened In the
Dante appears in an eightinch streak
and gives returns of from SIT to $2i
to the pound, with an average value of
si9 to the pound. or s3S.000 to the ton.
The streak lies in the center or core
Of a four-foot vein and is not simply a
pocket or stringer, but Il portion of a
strong ore body.
The vein was encountered several
months ago and has been followed
quite a distance, increasing both in
size and value as development was car
ried on. Just four weeks ago today a
three-inch seam of high grade was
opened in the center of the vein and
the work OF separating and sorting
the ore was begun. The vein since that
time has been drifted on for a distance
of twenty feet, with the rich streak
gradually widening out, but not exceed
ing width OF four and a half inches
until today. when a round Of shots ex,
posed 1t measuring eight incnes across.
The vein on either side OF this high
grade seam carries values Of from two
to five and a half ounces in gold. The
property owned by the Dante Gold Min
ing Company, is under lease to the
British American Mining Company.
The leasing company tonight has 200
pounds of the ore sacked and ship
ment will be made tomorrow with the
expectation OF obtaining returns OF
$4,000 from the small consignment.
