Game Warden Had the Line, but

out:
Il jest see the funniest thing you
ever see!"
What was it?" 1 asked when he got
a little closer.
He was SO full of laugh and SO out
of breath through his unwonted exer.
tions that he was entirely unable to
say anything at first. But presently
he began: Il been down to the lake

oncet and noticed he had two lines out,
Better look out l says. You're
Dustin the law. You hain't up right
to fish with more'n one line. The

over near the other side. The fish

all about Joe and his two lines. The
sun was hotter n 1t began to make
me sleepy. By and by / heerd a
shout: Hey, you. come in to shore!

and 1t was the game warden, standin'
on shore lookin' mighty important and
yellin' to Joe. Joe looked up in q

f1shin'. When the warden got close
to Joe he yells out: Now, you come
along here! you're vi-latin' the statoots
and I've caught you red-handed' Joe
didn't move. SO he says ag'in: Come

No. SIR says Joe. I don't move

him toward land. Did you ever tow q
boat single-handed? Well, then you
know it amt no easy job, specially in
the hot-sun. The warden keeps rowin'
and sweatin', and Joe sets back in his
boat calm and serene like the Gatobar
of Brooda, both lines trailin' behind.
Finally they gifts to shore, and the war
den says: Now, pile out O. there
Joe steps out and stands on shore,
and the warden jumps into Joe's boat
and pulls in one line. Well, they amt
nothin' on it. He throws it into the
boat and starts to pull in the other

that he gives a yank and pulls in

Geological Survey Does not Assay.

Attention is called by the United States Geological Survey to the fact that it does not make analysis or assays or ores or metals for the public. Many specimens and samples are received by the Sur vey, accompanied by requests for such treatment, with which it is impossible to comply. The most that can be done in such cases is for the Survey geologist to give an offhand opinion based on a simple examination of the specimen; but if an assay is desired, the proper course is to employ private as- saver or to send the specimen to one of the government assay of fees, where a regular charge is made for such work. When speci- mems are sent to the Survey for examination applicants should be particular to state whether they wish them returned, as otherwise they will be destroyed. Govern ment assay offices are located at Carson, New; Seattle. Wash; Boise, Idaho; Helena, Mont; Deadwood {, s. Dak; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Charlotte, N. c.

Pound of Gold

In order to compare quantities of gold and silver with the gross weights ofcOmmoner materials, it k necessary to consider that d
 standard ounce of the precious metals is different from standard
 ounce of an ordinary commodity, like sugar. for example. In speak ing of a ton of gold and it's value, 1t becomes necessary to translate one standard weight into another. Gold and silver are measured by troy weight and other commodities usually by avoirdupois weight. The two standards may be traced back to the grain, which is a meas ure of weight common to both systems. The troy ounce contains 4S0 grains and the avoirdupois ounce 437 2grains; while the troy pound thus contains 5,760 graiue and the avordupois pound 1000 grains. To arrive at the value oI ton of gold, the troy pound must be translated into the avoirdupois pound. The troy pound is worth at $20.67 an ounce, S24804, while the avoirdu
The oasis., 1912-04-13

pois pound is worth approximately S30l ,43. Inasmuch as ton is made up of 2,000 avoirdupois pounds, a ton of pure gold would be worth approximately $702,000. The simple Simon who spoke of gold ore assaying close to a million dollars was dreaming of the ma. dramatically impossible.-M. x s. Press.
