FRIDAY IS Was
HOODOO DAY

1t would probably be hard to con-
vince Engineers Hielman and Cowan
that Friday, the thirteenth is not a
hco-dco day for it was upon this
date that they came to grief when
their trains met in a head end COLI
eicn near Lupfer. Cowan was going
west with train of sheep and Hiel-
man was coming east, when for
some reason for which we do not
know the particulars the two Of
them tried to pass on the sam.
track which is strictly against the
laws OF mechanics. When it was
seen what was going to happen both
engine crews, including Travelling
Engineer Parks, who was riding in
the cab with Cowan, jumped and no
one was injured except one firemen
who sprained a leg a little bit. The
locomotives hit pretty hard and did
considerable damage to themselves,
and a number of box cars behind
them We're demolished. 1t is regret
ted by all that such an accident
should befall these two young men
who are just getting started and
bear an enviable reputation as good
and careful wcrkmen.

some evidence of the growing quail

SPOPANE. Nov. 15-Questions
what constitutes a valid mineral
location under the present mineral
laws as applied by the land office, is
a question which even the department
officials seem to be unable to answer.
No sooner has the man seeking
patent familiarfzed himself with the
latest ruling handed down by the de-
partment, and complied with its re-
cuirement, than another application
is discovered, and further discourag-
ing restrictions applied. This policy
of restriction, which Is driving the
prospector from the hills, and pre-
venting the development of the public
domain, will occupy prominent
place in the deliberations and discus
sion of the delegates to the Fifteenth
Annual Session Of the American Min
ing Congress, which meets in Spo-
kane, Washington, during the week
Of November 1929.
The following ruling made in con-
nection with case arising In the
Tintic district, of Utah, aroused con-
siderable discussion in that district
at the time it was delivered, and is
of interest at this time for the reason
that a rehearing of the case is re-
ported as having been denied The
particular portion of the ruling to
which objection has been taken is as
follows:
"The exposure, however, of SUBJ
stantially worthless deposits on the
surface of claim; the finding of
mere surface indications of mineral
within it's limits; the discovery of
valuable mineral deposits outside the
claim. or deductions from established
geological facts relating to it, one or
all of which matters may reasonably
give rise to hope or belief, however
strong it may be, that a valuable min
eral deposit exists within the claim,
will neither suffice as discovery
thereon nor be entitled to be accepted
as the equivalent thereof.
"To constitute a valid discovery
upon claim for which patent is
sought, there must be actually and
physically exposed within the limits
thereof a wien or lode of mineral
bearing rock in place, possessing in
and of itself present or prospective
value of mining purposes; and before
patent can be properly issued or entry
followed theron, that fact must be
shown in the manner above stated"
If this ruling were to be followed
literally in all cases, it is probably
that there would be comparatively
few mining locations to which title
could be granted by the government.

One Of the best ways to start 10 to
get six hens, and grow.
To successfully preserve eggs, per
fectly fresh ones must be selected.
Remember that it is the profit per
hen that counts. not the profit per
flock.
Milk is an excellent food for grow.
ing chicks and, in fact. for any class
OF fowls.
1t does not require much hard work
to keep a flock in good condition in
the summer.
The simplest form of intestinal dis
order to which chickens are subject Is
ordinary diarrhea.
Better that the chicks roost In tho
trees than that they be confined In a
vermin-ridden building.
There can be no question that q lot
OF fowls die yearly from no other
cause than a lack Of food.
The reputation of giving a square
deal to every customer Is as necessary
as that OF breeding birds of good quail
/ ity.
Skim-mllk is not q dear commodity
In the poultry yard when its bene-
fetal effects upon the stock are con-
eldcred.
J Body lice will worry q flock to
death. or so Yearly so as to destroy
| itse usefulness. These can be killed
but not easily.
