Two Children Burned.

Tied to a chair little Hazel Boyce,
aged 2, was burned to crisp and her
brother, Hughie, aged 4, was severely
burned, when their home, one mile
south of GAINESVILLE was destroyed by
fire Tuesday morning while Mrs. Boyce
was away at neighbors TO secure a
pail of water. Mrs. Boyce, upon re-
turning was Mortified to see the house
in flames, and rushing in dragged Effie,
aged 3, and Chester, aged l, from the
burning structure. Hughie, with the
greatest heroism, attempted to save
his helpless sister but was driven forth
by the smoke and flames. Mrs. Boyce
could hardly be restrained from rushing
into the burning house when she found
that one of her children was missing
and is in critical condition.

st. Paul, Dec. 30.--Although Mgr.

days, his assistants and the commit
tee Of the st. Paul Motor Car Deal
ers' association, having charge of the
automobile show to be held at the
auditorium the week of Feb 1, have
been busy looking after the details
Of the affair.
The matter of decorations has been
discussed at length. 1t is very likely
that the committee will accept the bid
OF a local concern which has submit
ted an elaborate scheme OF decoration.
similar to the design used last winter
at Pittsburg. 1t consists principally
OF series Of arches, one for each Of
the thirty-six booths. The arches and
floors will be covered with buriap. The
design also calls for an abundance Of
smilax and thousands of electric lights
with frosted globes.
The show will be advertised not only
In Minnesota, but in the Dakotas and
parts OF Wisconsin and Montana. Dis
play posters are now being mailed to
all OF the banks in the territory men
toned, and all OF the large jobbing
houses and merchants have promised
to have their outgoing mail stamped
with an announcement of the show.
The show will display wider varf-
ETY. in the designs Of automobile bod

public undoubtedly win study body de-
signs with unusual interest. The re-
suit Of these conditions will be

ether hand, before they accepted the
tuition I was informed that 1t would
be necessary TO stand medical ex-
animation. This was easy enough, but
they surely make life miserable for a
nervous man.
While walking over the aviation
field with one OF the instructors dur
in. the tinie of examination was SUR
prised to hear loud report directly
in back of me. On looking around 1
saw the smoking barrel Of 44-caliber
kentucky shooting iron. Had shown
any signs Of nervousness my chances
of becoming an aviator at that school
would have been small.
My automobile experience back IN
tie Dakotas also helped me keep q
cool mead when they drove several
other prospective students and myself
over some of those fine Kentucky
roads at speed exceeding all the
limits OF tho law.
After number of other nerve test

scented. climbed up into The seat
Of large s0-horsepower biplane as a
passenger with the head instructor

a western cyclone. The three minutes
we were in the air passed so quickly
that hardly remember drawing my
breath until we made one grand dive
to the earth.
There Is absolutely no question in
my mind but that flying In a heap
safer than riding the ponies on fathers

am sure that 1t is more exhilarat-

process has been going forward ever
since, until today we have the little
open bodied runabout, suited to short
trips and errand service, with the
lightest, simplest BODY construction
possible.
Makers of more pretentious cars At
bodies with doors to the operators
seats, and with high sides and other
protection from the weather as may
be seen In many OF the models or
practically every modern car. The
manufacturers produce bodies that an

also ut them for the use OF the wofns

tend to increase the number of autos
needed by the family.
The conventional touring car, once
the leading style, has been fitted with
bodies much improved in many de-
tails. Seats are wider than hereto
fore. Doors to the front as well as to
the rear protect the owner who rides
or drives in front as well as the family
or guests iii the rear. Ample length
for leg room, better cushions, and
many conveniences like robe rails,
foot rails and folding seats for extra

serious obstacles. Among these was
the friction and accordingly at a great
additional expense a great deal of the
machinery was made ball bearing.
This has already paid for itself in re-
duced fuel expenses. So marve1ous1y
easy is the running gear that it can
almost be started by hand power and
1t is claimed that the saving effected
amounts to $4,000 a month. They have
had number of oil wagons for the
past few months. The probable adopt
Ion Of oil fuel by other companies in

wagons constantly hauling it from

Mining Men Deeply Interested.
These successful experiments in the
Mogollons are being watched by min
ing men all over the west with deep
interest and the methods employed will
be adopted everywhere that cheap
power is an item 1t is estimated by
experts that by the use of crude oil
engines and ball bearing gear the cost
per horsepower per annum can be re-
duced from $500 down to 500, or a
saving of 602-3 percent.
The initial cost OF crude oil plant
is much higher than an ordinary plant,
a 125 horsepower costing in the neigh
borhood OF $4,000, but it Will pay for
itself the first year by the saving. 1t
is claimed that 10 horsepower is gem,
Grated on less than five gallons Of oil
an hour, and as the oil costs IL u
cents a gallon, the total cost a day
Is $3.50, whereas other companies pay
about $50 a day for the same amount
of power generated by steam. 1t will
save al least $1.20 per ton on the cost
Of milling the ore, so that on S12 ore
the profits would be as great on 40
cents an ounce for silver as they would
be under the old method on so cents

P. II. Luckett owner of the COM

company at Ynde, in the state of Du-
range, Mexico, expects to return to
Mexico in a few days. Mr.. Luckett
said:
Il have the concession for the COM
pany stores Of the Ynde Gold Mining
company at Ynde and I have nothing
but favorable things to report from our
part of the country.
so far as the Ynde Gold Mining
company is concerned 1t is operating a
group Of properties known as the Ter
rible group. This company has been
mining continuously since it first
started its mill in 1907 and the results
have been all that were expected and
even more than expected. Before the
company started it's mill, it had de-
veloped its property for about a year
and it, IS now employing about 200
men.

CRUDE OIL SOLVES
FUEL QUESTION
IN MOGOLLON
Reduces Cost of Power to a
Minimum in The
District.

'The use OF crude oil has revolu-
tionized and solved the fuel question
in the great Mogollon district of Grant
county, New Mexico" said Capt. Jack
W. Fleming, the mining man Of Sill
yer City.
You must recollect that the oil is
freighted from Silver City to the Mo-
gollons, a distance of 80 miles. Just
think Of the saving Where mines or
mills are only a short distance from
the railroads.. This experience should
be of great Interest and value to all
mining men and also to manufacturers.
Solves Problem of Cheap Extraction.
''The introduction Of concentration
and cyanide processes has solved the
problem Of cheap extraction of metals
in the Mogollon district, and now the
solution of the question of cheap fuel
places this district in the front rank
Of gold and silver producing districts
in the great Rocky mountain range.
The district has illimitable ore bodies
and a promise of future production
,rivaling in magnitude the bonanza
camps of Dsadwood, Dakota, and Lead
Vile, Gilpin county and Cripple. Creek.
and perpetuity of production long after
those camps have passed into oblivion
and ancient history.
ITO Messrs. CleaveIand and Weather
head belongs the honor of being the
pioneers in the introducing of crude oil
as a fuel in the Mogollons, which
lessons the cost of milling and produce

forest reserve. and having TO be hauled
over IA miles on burros. makes its
cost almost prohibitive when it is con
sidered that the amount required for
even a days run in one OF the big
Mogollon plants is enormous.
When C1eaveland and Weatherhead
put up their mill on the Deadwood
they worked to devise some method to
solve the fuel cost. They found crude
oil. owing to its low cost was the
thing. but the question Of putting it to
practical use presented any number Of
