new DRILL FOR
The OIL FIELDS

P. c. CaIberry, secretary of the Yer
ington Oil and Gas company, returned
Wednesday from San Francisco, where
he had gone for the purchase of Stand
ard drill to be installed OH the property
of this company, which is located in
Mason Valley, few miles north of Yer
ington.
The preliminary work of this company
was done with a Keystone drill, but
after having attained deIt of 400 feet
this style of drill was found inadequate
and the Standard drill became neces-
sity, as a depth of 1000 feet is made pos
sible with this drill.
The property of this company lies in
large basin, the hills surrounding
being of a basaltic formation. Several
experts who have visited the scene OF
this company's working are of the opin-
ion that oil or gas may be encountered
at any depth on this company's hold
ings, and developments are being eag.
erly watched by the people of Yeringtor
and the entire State of Nevada.
The new drill will have been installed
by December of this year and worl
will be rushed as fast as facilities viii
permit.

NEVADA DOUGLAS PEOPLE
PAY VISIT TO THE MINES
Special Car OF Salt Lake Stockholders Look Over
Yerington's Big Copper Mines

Last Friday a special car with A. J.
Orem and number of stockholders in
the Nevada Douglas and other promi-
uent mining men from Salt Lake. ar
rived at Wabuska. From there two
autos conveyed the visitors to see the
rich stores OF mineral wealth at the Lud-
wig and the other rich Nevada Douglas
holdings.
Those OF the party who had never
seen the immense bodies OF ore blocked
out in the mine could hardly believe
their senses, and the return was delayed
day so that all could be absolutely con-
vinced that they were not mistaken.
Even those who were more or less ia
miliar with the mine, were anxious TO
more closely inspect the chalcocite ore
chute at the 650-foot level which has be-
come known from Boston to San Fran
cisco. sample from this chute in the

able to make the trip to the mine what
is there.
One of the main objects, as it is un-
derstood here, of the visit was to,select
location for the big smelter which is
soon to be built here for the treatment
OF the immense tonnage of ore now
blocked out. The Times could not get
a definite statement as to location Sc
lected, but hopes the matter will become
public soon.

The season for completing annual
assessment work is at hand and those
who have thus far neglected this nee
essary compliance with the law should
make haste to attend to 1t. There are
those who think relocation will answer
all purposes, but if another party locates
the claim and can prove that assessment
work has been neglected, the relocator
will not be able to make his claim good.

ACTIVE WORK ON
EAST WALKER

w. d. Davidson is spending most of
his time at his mill on the East Walker
river, where they are now doing an ex-
tensive custom business for mines in the
vicinity of the Crabbe They had been
running low grade ore up to last Tues
day. when they began on some high
grade ore from a mine adjoining the
Crabbe. The reports of these runs will
be given soon and will be surprise to
those who do not know this district.
Mr.. Davidson, who is heavily interested
in this section, is greatly pleased with
all of the outlook and thinks the show
ing fine.
Gilmore, Blake & O'Donnell, in their
mine near the Crabbe, have made a
strike of high grade lead ore. The
ledge has widened to four feet and the
assays are running high. The most
skeptical say that the showing is phe-
nomenal and that if the ledge holds out
these men have a bonanza The best
information is that there is no doubt
about the strike and that it is a very
good one. The district awaits further
reports with interest.

Avoid Round Shoulders.

Are you letting yourself sag a bit
at the shoulders? Don't, if you want
to keep either young or we'll There is
nothing SO fatally easy as to grow
round-shouldered. Keep sharp
watch on yourself to prevent it. Each
morning stand up against the jamb
Of a door and see if you have begun
to sag. Also walk around your room
each day with piece of broomstick
or short umbrella under your arm and
brought across the back. This keeps
the chest UP and head well poised.
Deep-breathing exercises, whenever
you think of them, will help ward off
hose round shoulders, also making a
practice to work with the chest up.
This last is the simplest of all pre-
ventives. for If it is always practiced
the rest will follow.

STRANGE CAPTURE or SALMON
Incident Proves That Belief of Some
Fishermen Is Wrong.

Fishing well-known river in Nor
way this June, one of the tenants OF
the fishing lodge opposite ours caught
a fish of 20 pounds in the morning and
lost another, his spinning line being
broken by the rush of heavy fish.
Fishing with prawn the afternoon OF
the same day, the same angler, in the
same pool, got into a good fish at his
first cast. After long fight the fish
was gated and landed Then was re-
vealed a strange state of things. The
prawn tackle had never touched the
fish; in fact the hooks were foot or
more from it. They had caught in the
cast which had been lost that morn
ing, and was now twisted into knots
and tangles, no doubt by the salmon
endeavoring to get rid of the treble
Norsk cast and hooks. The line had
been got rid of. AS the prawn swung
down the pool it had grappled the lost
cast still attached to the salmon, and
fish (33 pounds), cast, and tackle were
recovered. We watched the incident
from the road, and crossing the river
handled the recovered cast. Many
maintain that salmon once hooked and
played for any length of time leave the
pool.-W. H., in London Field

Happenings in Wisconsin Which
Are of interest to Our
Own People.
TRAIN HITS AUTO LIKE COMET
Prominent Manistee, Mich, Man Is
Killed Near Kenosha.
Train Going at High Speed Crashes
into an Automobile in Spite
of All Efforts TO Pre-
vent 1t.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 5.-An automo-
bile racing at a rate of forty miles an
hour and a train on the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric railway running
at even higher rate OF speed collided
at the Burlington road crossing, a mile
north of Kenosha. As result, George
O. Field, prominent man of Manis-
tee, Mich. was killed and the auto
mobile reduced to pile of scrap iron.
The accident was witnessed by large
number of passengers on the electric
car and while all of them were badly
shaken up none were injured.
The accident was one of the most
spectacular ever reported in this sec
ton if the country. Field was thrown
In his car for distance of more than
100 feet south Of the crossing and por-
lions of the car were dragged for a
distance Of nearly quarter of a mile
before the train could be stopped.
Mr.. Field had come to Kenosha to
get car belonging to his brother
which had been sent to the Thomas
b. Jeffrey company for repairs. He
had never been in Kenosha before AS
soon as the car had been made ready
he started for Milwaukee, expecting to
catch boat there. He had been ad-
vised that he could save time by driv-
ing over to the west road and was
driving west along the Burlington road
at high rate of speed. AT the point
where the accident occurred there is a
young orchard which hides the cleo
trio line almost cimpletely from the
road One of the passengers on the
car saw the approaching automobile
just as Field discovered the car. 1t is
declared that the man turned white as
death and made an effort to turn the
automobile into the ditch, but saw the
chance too late. The automobile
leaped forward at a terrific speed and
struck the track just as the car dashed
into it. Field was seen to rise in his
seat and just then the heavy machine
rose in the air and was carried $50
feet from the crossing where the &C
cident took place. He was buried IN
der the wreckage of the auto, which
had been broken into kindling wood
The impact broke the airbrake of
the electric car, but otherwise the car
was not damaged. With the breaking
of the airbrake it ran wild for few
hundred feet when it was stopped by
tie removal Of the trolley pole. The
crew and the passengers returned and
picked up the wounded man. He
was hurried to Kenosha and taken to
the Kenosha hospital in an ambulance
where he failed to regain conscious
ness An examination showed that he
fered fractures of the skull, and his
chest was crushed SO that the ribs had
pierced both lungs.

The Business of Farming.

We are just awakening to the fact
that the value of farm land is rap
idly increasing in America. Ever since
the discovery of the continent there
have been vast tracts of unoccupied
land subject to free settlement until
now We have at last filled up the
continent and all the land worth till
ing is under ownership. We are doing
much by Irrigation to reclaim the arid
lands, but these are rapidly filled up
as soon as they are made tillable.
Relieved of the pressure of vacant
lands, there can be no doubt that the
value of farms will continue to rise
and the value of farm products will
rise with them The present depres-
sion in the commercial and industrial
world has caused no drop in the price
of farm products, no particular de-
crease in the cost of living; indeed, it
has increased. if measured by wages.

DEVICE or VENETIAN PRINTER.
AIdus Msnutius Author of System of
Punctuation.


Punctuation by means of stops and
points, so as to indicate the mean
ing of sentences and assist the reader
TO a proper enunciation, is ascribed
originally to Aristophanes, a gram
marian of Alexandria, Egypt, who
lived in the third century B. c. What
ever his system may have been, it
was subsequently neglected and for
gotten, but was reintroduced by
Charlemagne, the various stops and
symbols being designed by Warne
tried and Alcuin.
The present system of punctuation
was introduced in the latter part Of
he fifteenth century by Aldus Manu-
ius, Venetian printer, who was re-
sponsible for our full stop, colon,
semicolon, comma, marks of inter
so2ation and exclamation, parenthesis
and dash, hyphen, apostrophe and quo
3 ion marks. These were subsequent
ly copied by other printers, until their
Sse became universal
Most ancient languages were inno-
cent of any system of punctuation. In
aany early manuscripts the letters
are placed at equal distances apart,
with no connecting link between even
in the matter of spacing, IAN arrange
nlent which must have rendered read
ing at sight somewhat difficult

Women of Ideal Form.

There is no longer a perfect type OF
woman, such as the Greeks admired
There is the ideal short woman and
the ideal tall woman, but they are
very different. Artists say that the
short woman should measure as fol-
lows: Height, 5 feet inches;
neck 1917 inches; bust, SO inches;
waist, 81 inches; hips, 81 inches:
round the largest part of the forearm,
below the elbow, IL inches, which
should gradually taper to six inches
around the wrist. Here are the pro-
portions of the correct tall woman:
Height, 5 feet S1s inches; bust, Sc
inches; waist, rs inches; hips, AZ
inches; top of arm, IA inches; wrist.
inches; thigh, % inches; calf, Ia
inches; ankle, nine inches.

The Prolific queen Bee.

The queen bee is great antagon-
ist of race suicide. She strives to
perpetuate the race with an ardor and
an understanding that is worthy of the
highest commentator. Some have
been known to lay 1000 eggs a day for
a year, the nunsber lessening after
that to 1000 and going forward at
that ratio for another two years.
With $4,000 bees to the colony that
single praiseworthy queen laid enough
eggs to establish 46 colonies. Bee
keepers figures on a net income Of
three dollars colony each year. If
the owners of the bee under discus
sion prof1ted from her labors to that
extent the gain was $14S. 1t is not
to be presumed that any such results
were obtained. To argue so much in
favor of one bee would be to place
belief in the statement that a man
with ten acres of ground and two rab-
bits can become a millionaire in three
years selling rabbit skins to glove
manufacturers World.

The Spanish Flag in Kansas.

In the northwestern part of Repub-
lie county, Kansas, on the site of an
old Pawnee Indian village, stands a
granite monument erected by the
state, commemorative unique incl
dent in American history. Here on
September 20, 1906, Gen. Zebulon
Pike, leading a struggling band of
American soldiers on an exploring .eX-
petition through the unknown coun-
try beyond the Mississippi river, came
upon Pawnee village in which a
Spanish flag was flying. After much
maneuvering and almost at the point
of the bayonet Pike forced the Indians
who outnumbered his command ten to
one, to haul down the Spanish flag
and hoist the Stars and Stripes in its
place.

Beneficial sneeze.

There is no more sure cure for an
attack of faintness than a hearty
sneeze. It Immediately stimulates the
blood vessels of the brain. In many
persons fainting never goes SO far
as a loss of consciousness or loss of
control of the limbs. And in these
the sudden weakness is often brought
to an end by a sneeze caused by ma
ture herself without any external aid.
A grain or two of pepper, snuff or to-
bacco introduced into the nose or tick
ling its interior lightly will usually
insure a sneeze. These simple proce-
dares O, others similar in character
may prove invaluable when smelling
salts and other elegant aids are alb
sent.
