A REAL PICNIC

The "Four Milers," when they do
anything at all do it up brown to which
fact about $50 can testify. Tuesday,
July 4th, they took tire pleasant road to
Tom Bellemare's, where the big hay
barn had been cleared, with long table
made down the center and swings hung
from the rafters. A croquet ground at
the house found great favor, also ice
cream and lemonade were made, the
table loaded as for banquet and l04
people including Four Mile, the New
York mine and some strangers sat down
at the first table to enjoy fried chicken
with all the et ceteras that 60 with it at
picnic. We have the bachelors to
thank for their contributions of fruit,
and others for soft drinks.
After eating till none dared venture
more the crowd gathered for free for all
races-in the girls race, Letha Suther-
land won by about 40 links, more or
less; boys race in which Ernie Har-
ris won; mems race in which John
Harris was easily the leader; in the lit
tie boys race Philip Hunter won ten
cents-not the BOBBY either. Then
came two hobble ~ races in one of
which H. W. Brash fell down and had
to be famed with feather. The ladies
easily won these races, owing to Mr..
Brash being invisibly hobbled, or feel
ing so.
All kinds Of fun and funny kinds of
friendly chaff filled the moments, till
one by one most of the oldest folks and
the smallest folks, thanking the host
and hostess for a most delightful and
comfortable time, started for home leav-
ing crowd of about Fifty to dance in
the evening.
To say it was picnic is mild levity-
it was real one. May there be many
more such is the wish of one whom you
can depend on to be there.

The state land department field force
is preparing for the completion of the
work in the forest reserve of the Black
Hills which was started last year, for
the segregation of the state lands in that
reserve, and the transfer of scattered
sections to the government taking in
lieu compact body of timber east OF
Custer. The work was pushed along
last fall with hope of getting the mat
ter cleared up, but the coming of cold
weather stopped the field work before il
was finally closed up, leaving the tim
ber on number of sections of the lieu
lands to be scaled. 1t is expected that
this work can be completed, and the
transfers from the state to the govern
ment, and from the government to the
state made this year. This will settle q
lot of trouble on the part of the state in
looking after the timber on scattered
tracts, and allow them to concentrate on
one compact body, and give it the. care
necessary. And in that direction the
state will have an opportunity to dc
something in the way Of timber conser
vation of its own after the tract is once
transferred to state control.

MAsoNs ARE INTERESTED.
A Suggestion that Every Community
Can Act Upon.

Members of the Masonic order through.
out the northwest are discussing the
suggestion by jeremiah Neterer of Bel.
lingham, in his annual address as grand
master at the 54th session of the grand
lodge of Washington in Spokane, that
each attract the confidence of boy and
direct him into ways Of right. 1t is ex-
pected that most of the 175 lodges in the
state, with 16,500 members enrolled,
will adopt the plan before the year is
ended.
'T believe that if such a movement
were launched by the Masons in this
jurisdiction" Judge Neterer said, "in.
tense would be the interest and great
would be the result and pleasure in
much constructive work in the real
character building.
There exists a necessity for whole
some influence and fraternal co-opera-
tion in behalf of boys. The course of
conduct and treatment of many boys at
home and by the public should be
changed. Worthy examples should be
presented and wholesome sentiment
created. You can initiate plan which
will properly direct and conserve the
energy and ambition of the boy.
"The highest authorities are agreed
that nothing in the world so shapes
boys soul and character as quiet talks
with grown men about things they live
for and amidst. In this way the boy is
aroused to think and do the very best
there is in him.

big brother to him and have him visit
you 60 to his home after the labor of
the day has closed and show him he is
a part of the world and that some one is
interested in his welfare; direct his
mind in a wholesome course, place de-
signs for his improvements upon the
trestle board of life, and thus bring his
acts within the extended points of the

Death of G. I. sinty, Near Falrburn

Monday evening Coroner McFadden
received a phone message from Fair
burn that a man was found dead in q
cabin near there. Early Tuesday morn
ing the Coroner and Chas. Ennis drove
over to Fairburn. There they learned
that G. 1. Sinty, a rancher about 20 years
of age, lived alone in cabin three miles
from there. Arriving at the cabin they
were informed that the neighbors not
having seen Mr.. Sinty for several days
they forced entrance to his cabin. Find
ing Mr.. Sinty lying on the floor un-
dressed his head under the bed, they
supposed he was dead and telephoned
the Coroner that fact. A physician was
summoned who pronounced him still
alive but suffering from stroke of par
alysis. He died near midnight.
Mr.. Sinty was last seen by his neigh
bors Wednesday. 1t is supposed he
was stricken that night just as he was
ready to 90 to bed, as he was undressed
lying on the floor with head under bed.
The Coroner after hearing statement Of
physician and neighbors decided that
Mr. Sinty came to his death from nat
ural causes and an inquest was not nee.

An Exciting Adventure

Have you noticed that in exceptiona-
ally dry years rattlesnakes and humble
bees are more numerous than in moder-
ate wet years? This season school
ma'ams especially, seem to be the
victims of their wrath. One our most
popular young teachers whose name is
not very far down the alphabet, had an
exciting time one day last week. Had
she been q timid creature she would
have been frightened to death.
After being away from home all win.
ter teaching she was delighted to get
back to the dear old farm. Prefering
outdoor work this balmy weather she
offered to rake the new-mown hay-per-
chance matrimonial prize might pass
that way. After dinner the second day
she walked out to the meadow in ad.
vance of her father while he was getting
the horse that pulled the rake. While
waiting she espied some beautiful flow
ers upon ledge of rock some few yards
distant. Climbing up on lower ledge,
just as she reached for the flowers she
felt several sharp stings piercing her
hosiery. Looking down she discovered
she was standing on hummock of big,
black ants. With scream and leap
she alighted in a bumble-bees nest.
Now thoroughly frightened she gave a
whoop equal to Sioux Indian and fed
to the meadow just as her father arrived
with the pony. Being frantic with pain
from the ant and bee stings she vaulted
upon the pony's back and hastened to
the house. The flowers are still nod
ding in the breeze. Who'll be the next
to furnish us a lively episode.

There are more outside men in the
Hills today looking for legitimate min.
ing investments than there has been al
any time since the latter seventies oil
the early eighties. There is plenty idle
money for investment in enterprises
that promise to be safe and profitable.
But the old fellows who have held on to
their prospects for thirty or more years
should not become too strongly imbued
with the idea that they can sell their
holdings at prices beyond their actual
value. Amy reasonable offer should be
accepted, for as soon as there is a revival
of manufacturing and merchandising
there won't be any money for mining
and the prospectors will wait another
thirty years for an opportunity to SELL
Pioneer Times.

quantity Of manufactured mica. The
output of sheet and scrap mica reduced
to short tons amounted to about $500
tons in 1910 as compared with 3,255
tons in 1909. Thus the quantity of pro-
duction was not greatly different in the
two years. The production of mica in
North Carolina. in 1910 came from
Mitchell, Yancey, Macon, Jackson,
Cleveland, Madison, and Transylvania
counties and from over $50 producers.
In other States the production of mica
was limited to one or two producers and
the figures are therefore not given by
States.
The average price of sheet mica in the
United States during 1910, as deduced
from the total production, was II sc per
pound, as compared with 12.9c per
pound in 1909. The average price of
sheet mica in North Carolina was 42.5c
per pound; in New Hampshire. 22.3c in
South Dakota, SEC. The average price
of scrap mica in 1910, as deduced from
the total production, was $l3lO per ton,
as compared with $ll.26 in 1909 and
with $l4.02 in 1908. The price of scrap
mica in North Carolina was $l2.ll per
ton; in New Hampshire, $l4 80; in
South Dakota, $3.50; in Colorado, $22.
1t is not possible to give absolute prices
Of manufactured sheet mica from the
lists of dealers, since discounts allowed
vary with the nature of the purchases.
The prices of the sizes given in the table
below are quoted from a standard list
for 1911. Discounts ranging from 70 to
10 per cent? are allowed on stove mica
and from 60 to 10 per cent on electrical
mica.
