II was two years ago when the final
effort was begun. Five men, including
Schnicke, who called themselves "The
Lucky Five" went into the wilderness.
One by one all abandoned the search
except Schnicke. Curiously he made
the discovery at place visited before

the search but not recognized. II was
a small body of water called Badger

angle and something about It struck
him as being in accord with the chart.
He searched for an old camp that
White had marked and after some
heavy work discovered It He then
had little difficulty In locating the
ledge and finding the specimens Of
ore. He has fled his mining claims
on all the outcroppings he could find
and expects to go back and begin
work before the summer IL over.

Spokane, Wash.-A search Of %

BARKING OF DOGS FORBIDDEN
Beach Order Of Eastbourne Town
Council Is Severely Criticised by
Veterinary Surgeon.

London.-The Eastbourne town
council the other day adopted q by
law imposing a fine Of 40 shillings
(S10) on owners Of dogs which bark
on the beach. The debate that proceed
ed the vote was an animated one, one
member describing the proposal as
frivolous and irritating"
A surgeon belonging to q well
known veterinary institution Is Of the
same opinion. He says: ITO re-
strain dogs from running about and
barking IL exactly equivalent to pre-
venting children playing and laughing.
The bylaws will mean that dogs will
have to be taken to the shore on leads,
and their owners viii have to punish

LEARN WHEN NOT TO SWIM
Every Bit a. Important AZ knowledge
Of Swimming ltsef-No Perfect
Safety In Water.

A single newspaper column report
ed the other day thirty cases Of
drowning in places many miles apart
and under conditions as diverse as
possible. They we're not suicides,
strictly speaking. although the moral
responsibility is not greatly different
in some Of the cases. II is a mild state
ment that in more than one instance
the fatality was not necessary, says
the fatality was not necessary. says
cases were pathetic, some surprising
ly so. Young women died clasped in
each others arms. playmates died try
Ing to rescue each other, and there
were one or two cases Of real acct
dent through falling Unexpectedly into
water under conditions preventing
rescue or escape.
With the thermometer where It is,
1t Is idle to advise even nonswimmers
not to 90 into the water. Since they
will do It, It is doubtful advice to learn
to swim, since II is the swimmers who
most frequently drown. Having Ia
ken the responsibility of advising
everybody to learn to swim. II is nee
essary to supplement- It by advising
those who have learned to learn also
when not to swim and dive, and to en-
force this advice by morals drawn
from recent awful examples. One
young man broke his neck and
drowned because he plunged headfirst
into water which he was told was
shallow. How is It possible to be
truly sympathetic with such reckless
ness?
And the indignation with such dis.
regard of human life is similar even
when. as frequently happens, divers
persist in trying the depths Of strange
waters with their heads instead Of
their feet. 1t is not so grand to try
unknown depths with q leap instead
Of a dive. The difference between a
sprained ankle and a broken neck
measures the degrees OF vanity which
are behind these two methods Of
plunging. Boys who try to float on
board In deep water before they can
swim are just boys. and can be rea-
soned with suitably only by their pa
rents.
This is only . word Of advice to
those who know how to swim. and APP
pear to think that thereby they have
q license to be foolish. There are
times and conditions when even swim
mers should not swim, and there
never Is q time when swimming Is
safe under unsafe conditions. So long
as water will strangle there is no per-
feet safety in the water. Sa long as
this is true, no precautions are exces-
Bive, whatever the skill Of the SWIM
mer. Except for show and vanity, all
exercises can be taken in
shallow water as we'll as in deep. and
Dnly under conditions where help IL
sure and near. Everybody should
earn both how to swim and when and
where not to swim.
