the work of clearing and leveling will
be undertaken. 1t is now covered with
a dense thieket of arrowhead, mes
quite and other brush.
The claimants will probably form a
company to do the reclamation work
which calls for the expenditure of sew
eral thousand dollars.
The land is very rich, being silt de-
posted by the Colorado river for hun
dreds of years. 1t is probable that ex-
periments will be made with cotton,
potatoes and other crops for which the
lands are especially adapted. Several
of the men interested in the plan have
been pioneers in other enterprises in the
newer sections, particularly Imperial,
thus they are familiar with enter
prises of that sort.
The lands are quite similar in char
acter to a large acreage that is being
exploited east of Needles at this time.

WAS CLOSE TO
FEARFUL Death

n. X. Franklin, who is more familiar
ly known to his friends as "Ben," SUI
perintendent in charge of operations at
the Thanksgiving, for George Hale Bra
brook, who has the property under lease,
is suffering from a broken rtb ana
bruises about the body, and 1t is due 20
his rare presence of mind that he is net
living cold and still in the morgue, says
the Manhattan Mail.
Tuesday afternoon Franklin was en-.
oaqed in taking a quantity of skids
down the shaft in a bucket and was rii-
ing on its edge. To a depth of 100 feet
the shaft is incline, and from that
depth on down, some ls5 feet, 1T is near
" vertical. At about the 100 point,
where the incline changes to vertical,
there is considerable of a bump IN fhe
skids on which the bucket slides. When
,b;s Mace had been reached by Franklin,
with his load, the bucket gave a sud-
den Jerk and Franklin was thrown on.
Az he fell he grasped the cable from
which the bucket was suspended anu
,nc there as the bucket continued on
rs conrse. The engineer, fearing that
something was wrong when the bucket
brebed and when he noticed the CAME
shaking considerably, stopped the en-
o;ne after about so feet had been
passed. !,
Franklin very luckily escaped with 2
TOW minor bruises about the body ~

Elihu Palmer, a special correspondent
of The Tonopah Miner, now located at
Twin Falls. Idaho, sends the Miner the
following interesting article on the new
camp of Jarbidge, located near the Ne
vada-Idaho line:
The development of the Jarbidge
gold mining boom in Northern Elko
county, Nevada, sever miles south of
the Idaho Nevada state line, is proceed
ing somewhat pyrotechnically in the
midst of a hard winter, in this respect
the conditions of its growth being akin
to the histories of very early Virginia
City, Leadville, the Black Hills and
Cripple Creek. 1t has been impossible
for prospectors, attracted during the
last six weeks by the first reports of
these rich discoveries, to get into the
camp by any other route than through
Twin Falls; and a week ago, when the
most severe storm of the season broke
over this part of the state, many of
these %argonauts eagerly pushing tow
ard the new golconda were temporarily
stalled at this point. Today a process
sion began to move over the wagon road
toward the camp, however, the partiei
pants being composed almost exclusive
ly of men possessing much experience
heretofore in getting into the richest of
the camps ahead Of the railroads and
the automobiles, they all insisting it
would be possible to make the journey
safely without waiting for any more
favorable weather than had been prom
ised. Leading in the caravan of out
fits were William Bryan of Carter, Mon
tana. and Mark Maher of DeBorgia,
Montana. Both are veteran mining
men, and declared they could not re-
main here and wait for summer time to
get in. Until their arrival at Twin
Falls they had seen none of the Jar
bidge ores, and after samples had been
examined they insisted it was a likely
prospect they were facing, and the gold
fever enveloped both more completely
than it had previous to their advent At
this chief point of em~barkation. A
week ago, Mayor Hahn of the Twin
Falls Bank and Trust company, accom-
panied by several capitalists interested
with him in what is believed to be one
of the richest finds in the entire dis
trict, attempted to reach the camp IN
a sheep wagon, but had to return In
side of two days, on account Of the
road being blocked with s%nowdrifts.
Freight teams loaded with supplies
for the camp in the meantime have
broken the trail considerably, and
during the coming week it is ex-
pected many who have been here
storm-bound will reach the %golconda.
In all respects Jarbidge is "maklng
good to the satisfaction of every
visitor. Nobody comes out except for
provisions or to send kilograms to his
friends to get ready and come in also.
Consequently there are 200 men there
now, Notwithstanding the age of the
district, since the first discoveries were
announced, is but a little less than three
months and that first announcements
of the "fnds' were obviously accepted
by the general public. And from the
rate prospeetors and investors will
reach Jarbidge during the month, that
colony is going to swell enormously. All

the Carolinas. Among those who
came was John Burton, the father of
Josiah. In the year 1918 he settled
on tract of ground four miles east
OF Gosport in section now known as
Liberty Church neighborhood The
country was then sparsely settled and
there were only mere bride paths
leading to the few settlements.
BY 1880 the country had become a
little more populous and there was
talk of establishing church. There
were many denominations in the
neighborhood, and ii was finally de.
cided to build church that should be
non-denominational, but with lean.
ings toward the Methodist Protestant
creed. John Burton gave enough
ground for the building of a church,
and another member of the new or.
ganization donated ground for a GENE
terry adjoining the church.
On the morning of September %.
1881, a company of neighbors gath.
cred at the spot given by John Bur-
ton as church site. Each carried a
broadax. The men were divided into
two squads. They then went into the
forest in search of yellow poplar
trees. The giants of the wilderness
began to fall and soon the brethren
were hewing the trees with that ex-
pert swing known only to the pio-
neers.
When dinner time came the church
builders sat down to meal such as
only old-fashioned cooks could cook.
All of the food and the dishes were
carried to the place by a 10-year-oId
boy. That boy was Josiah Burton.
and the church was started on his
tenth birthday.
Liberty Church is an interesting
type of the old-fashioned meeting
house. 1t is plain room with plain,
old-fashioned pews. The pulpit was
made by local carpenter and the
choir and organ have a slightly ele.
waited platform to the left of the min
lister.
If there is one thing that makes the
aged minister who presides at Liberty
Church happy it is a wedding. He
doesn't know how many couples he
has united in marriage, but he has yet
to hear of one of them being broken
by divorce decree. Uncle Josiah
takes supreme delight in having some
couple drive up to the door and call
him out to tie the nuptial knot. 1t is
then that he dons his Prince Albert
and white cravat and puts on his
most responsible air In recent years
he has had numerous calls for wed.

PERFUME FAVORED BY QUEENS
Royal Family of England Remain

Queen Mary is not lover of per,
fume. She uses eau de cologne occa.
sionally, but avoids scents as much
as possible. A west end chemist told
the writer recently that neither is
Queen Alexandra very fond Of per-
fumes, although she remains faithful
to the "Ess Bouquet" which has
been in use by the royal family of
England since 1922. This perfume Is
composed of amber mixed with the
essence of roses, violets, jasmine,
orange flowers and lavender.
On the other hand the czarina Is
passionately fond of perfume. Her
apartments in the royal palace are
daily sprayed with essences Of lilac,
jasmine, and white violet. Her maj
esty's favorite essence is violet, and

seen at Grasse gathering the bios
SONS from which the czarina's per-
fume is made. The finished product
is tested, bottle by bottle, at the St.
Petersburg Academy of Chemistry
before being sent to the imperial
store.
The Queen Mother Of Spain uses as
perfume eau d'espagne, manufactured
in Madrid and also obtains a per-
fume for her toilet from Paris. It's
composition is a secret which the
perfumer only half discloses. 'It is
made" he says, "of rosewater, cocoa
nut oil, and-the rest is mystery"
The young queen of Holland is
great believer in the virtues Of eau

queen of Roumania, uses a special
perfume made from the finest herbs,
which she says "is the best tonic for
the skin she has yet discovered"

GOOD H0T-BED MANAGEMENT
Valuable Assistant to Gardener and
Thorough knowledge of Same
Leads to Success.
By U. G. PATTENA


The hot-bed is a valuable assistant
to the gardener and thorough knowl-
edge of the same leads to success.
My method after the first year is to
clean out each spring and mix thor
oughly the soil and old manure from
the beds and return it upon new, fresh
manure, adding new soil as needed.
After the beds become heated up
and the temperature drops to 80 de-
grees the seed is sown in drills -four
inches apart and covered according to
the kind of seed used. Water literally
and never let the soil get real dry.
Insert thermometer into the soil
at the beginning and hold the heat
around 60 to 20 degrees by opening
or closing the sash as necessary.
In early spring old strips of car
peting laid over the sash at night
keep the frost away and help to hold
the temperature even. When the
plants begin to show the third leaf,
remove to boxes three inches deep
holding the same kind of soil as that
in the bed.
This soil is tamped down smooth
and solid. Then use a small stick like
a lead-pencil to make the holes for
the plants, making them at least two
inches apart.
Drop the plants in, firm the soil and
then water well and return to hot-bed
box and all and proceed in the care
OF them as though you had not dis
turbed them at all
When they get to be four inches
high proceed to harden them off by
removing the sash during the day, but
return it at night until the nights be-
come warm.
This hardening process is very es-
sential before setting into open
ground. In transplanting always use
care not to injure the roots. and a
very important thing to do is to firm
the soil. about the plant When set
ting into open ground, do so on
showery day or at evening, and sue
cess is almost sure.

Why Do They?

Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim.
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald.
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss 1t.

Building An lcehouse.

1t is none too early to think about
building an icehouse. Ice is a great
luxury In summer and as much or
even more SO than In the cities or
towns. An icehouse should be so
constructed as to have double wall
or air space surrounding that por-
ton above ground, and the cost of
such will be but little compared with
the protection afforded. There should
also be double doors. 1t is not diff
cult to keep ice in building above
ground If the double walls are used
and the ice securely packed.

Manure Conserves Moisture.

Barn-yard manure increases the
water-holding capacity of the soil;
and instead of dumping the manure
in some convenient, out-of-the-way
place, or leaving in the yard to de-
teriorate, or to rot the structures
against which it is so frequently
piled, the farmer cannot only save
money, but at the same time con-
serve the moisture of his soil, by i'm
mediately spreading it upon his
fields. To get manure onto the fields
quickly and effectively a manure
spreader is very useful
