atins Despite European War
Salt Lake Herald: Silver mines Of
the West will be kept open despite
the decentralization of the metals
market on account of the worlds
war in Europe. The Government
has come to the rescue of the west
ern mines and will purchase silver
through the smelters. although the
mining men do not know at this time
whether they are to receive 81 IL
cents an ounce, the last days quota
ton on which the market was open,
or whether the Government will take
the market price for some days prior
to the outbreak of the European
troubles and reach an average price
to be paid for silver. The announce
ment that the United States treasury
department through the director of
the mint, is making arrangements
to take the product of the silver
mines was made in a telegram from
United States Senator Reed Smoot to
John Dern.
On Saturday when it seemed that
nothing could be done to prevent the
closing of the silver mines of the
State Mr.. Dern took the matter up
by wire with Senator Smoot. Ar
engagements had been made by Mr..
Dern, who is at the head of the Mine
Operating Company which holds the
lease on the Ontario property at Park
City, to close the mines Immediately
as the smelters announced they would
only pay Is cents an ounce for silver.
Settlements on the deferred pay
ments to be made at a later date
when the European crisis has passed
and metal quotations are being made.

One OF the great difficulties In ex-
tensive forest districts is to secure
TIE necessary help in fighting fires.
The telephone is the greatest aid in
fire patrol. II enables the man who
discovers fire TO call for help and to
give directions as to the number Of
men and the equipment needed. BY
the use of the telephone on the ma
tional forests millions of dollars have
doubtless already been saved. The
forest service has since 1906 built
1850 miles of telephone line, and it is
extending the lines as rapidly as con-

Is an erroneous idea. One cannot de-

wrestlers have been killed by the fly

and Former Romance Are
Forgotten.

Chicago-Miss Ethel Smith Of Gary,
Ind. for whom Billy Rugh, crippled
newsboy, who was not acquainted
with her, gave up his life, is the prin-
cipal figure in new romance. She
eloped to Chicago with Leon M. Cline.
a clerk in a cigar store in Gary. They
obtained a license and were married
by a Justice of the peace. This ro-
nance marked the close of another
one which was in full bloom when
the explosion of gasoline tank on a
motorcycle owned by Ray Robert
burned her body so severely that her
life was despaired of for some time.
She was saved only by extensive graft
ing of skin taken from the amputated
crippled leg of Billy Rugh. who died
soon afterward of pneumonia and the
shock of the operation. Her marriage
did not please her parents when she
told them. She came out of hos
pital only Christmas day after sec
ond operation. Her explanation is
that the accident. the tragedy of Billy
and Robert are to be of the past and
forgotten.

MAN DIGS FOR $4,000 CACHE
Hid the Gold in Dutch Oven in 1888,
but Fire Destroyed the
Landmarks.

kellogg. Idaho.-Edward Cornelius,
an old resident of Murray, has been
working on the Kellogg sewer, appas-
emily for So a day, but in reality, ha
says, he has been working to locate
$4,000 which he buried in a Dutch
oven, and which he has never been
able to find.
In 1888 he and his partner left Mon
tana for the new gold country around
Murray They loaded their packhorses,
he says, with $4,000 in gold, all in $40
gold pieces, planning to use this money
to buy UP all available placer country,
which was reported to be unusually
rich.
They came down the Prospect Creek
trail and over the Mullan road, down
to what is now Kellogg.
They there heard that the country
for which they were headed was not
as rich as first reported, and as the
country was full of gold hunters and
was wild and rough, they decided to
cache their gold, Cornelius says, and
go into the Murray country to 1nVeSu-
SdIO DGlOTS AldhIuS any OoA eobAho ~
buy the placer ground.
The gold was hidden in the fiat
which extends from the Kellogg depot
to the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mills,
it Is asserted, and the gold hunters
marked the spot by blazing FIR tree
and two pine trees, burying the gold
in a Dutch oven in the center of this
triangle
Cornelius and his partner remained
in the Murray country for a year, and
on their return to dig up their money
and quit the country they found ire
had swept the district and eliminated
every landmark. The pair searched
for days and finally gave it up.
On several occasions Cornelius has
returned and made a hunt without re-
suit 1t was when he learned that
the sewer excavation would extend
through the ground in which he buried
his money 80 years ago that he came
to Kellogg. took up his pick and
shovel, and kept his eyes open The
work along this section Is completed,
and Cornelius is ready to return 10
Murray without having found the
treasure

this way the head may be drawn to-
ward the arm with which it is Sc
curely locked against the attacker.
The right arm Of the defensive wrest-
Ter is helpless and he may be drawn
to the side and easily forced to the
mat.
"Beelrs deadlock, however, does not
include an arm This is form of the
deadlock l have used at times, but
have relinquished it when it might in
jure an opponent. 1t is secured when
the opponent is in a standing posi-
ton.
"The attacker may pull down his
opponents head, reaching over his
head with his left hand. With his
right hand he reaches under the head
of his opponent and grasps his own
left hand just below the wrist. The
attackers left hand fits into the jaw
of the defensive wrestler on the right
side. The head is drawn in and lock-
ed. Then the twist may be applied
and the defensive wrestler drawn to
the mat Beell's short arm and great
strength in his arms and shoulders
make him peculiarly constructed by
| nature to apply this grip.
''Tom Jenkins defeated me with
Beelrs form of the deadlock in one
of the toughest matches Of my life
at Cleveland, February %, 1903. Some
could not understand why I lost to
Jenkins. The deadlock defeated me.
It will defeat any man when secured
by wrestler as strong as Jenkins.
He secured this jaw lock on me while
we were standing. I tried in vain to
extricate myself. Jenkins applied the
twist, and I began to think of all the
mean things / had ever done. want
ed my head for future use, so ]
dropped to the mat. Jenkins retained
the hold, and when he pinned me with
it, l swore he would never get that
grip on me again.

ern forests. as. for example. in Penn

In some sections of the country
forest fires have always been of such
common occurrence that there is a
popular notion that they can not be
prevented. The risk from fires can
never be entirely eliminated, for in
the forest there is always infamma-
BILE material which is very easily ig-
nited They may, however, be largely
prevented, and under efficient organi-
zation their damage may be kept down
to very small amount.
Broadly speaking, a fire line is a
cleared strip in the forest used as an
aid in the protection from fire. 1t
may be a road. trail. river or
stream, line cleared especially for a
fire break, or plowed furrow. The
purpose Of fire lines is to check or
stop fires and to facilitate fighting
them. A small surface fire may be
stopped entirely by road or even a
path. Some surface fires are easily
checked in their progress by narrow
fire lines; others can be stopped only
by very wide lines. Crown fires and

surface fires of unusual severity will
readily leap across even very wide fire
lines. Fire lines therefore, should not
be built with the idea that they will
always stop fires. They are intended
to serve primarily as an aid, and often
are an indispensable aid, in controll-
ing fires and preventing their spread.
Even when they do not actually stop
or check a fire they serve as vantage
points from which the fighting crew
may work Their establishment usual
ly makes the woods accessible, SO that
crew can get to a fire or near it
quickly with appliances for fighting it.
An ordinary dirt road ranks as one
of the best of all fire lines The wild
er the road the more effective it is. A
forest well cut up with roads is, there
fore. much more easily protected than
one with few or no roads. In Europe
every well-organized forest has thor
oughly planned network of roads.
These are located primarily with ref
erence to the problem of logging, but
they serve also as a network of fire
lines, and special lines are cleared to
supplement them where necessary.

have begun to develop systematic fire

The game started in with bang and

had Gagged the ball. At two different
times during the first period the score
was tie, once at 4 to 4, and the other
at to 6; but this did not last long for
P. A. showed some of her fast team work
and at the end of the first period the
score stood Is to in favor of p. A.
In the second halt the Goddard boys
showed better form and secured six bas-
kets from the floor. The game was slow
but some very good passing was dis
played on both sides. The score stood
sc to 10 in favor of p. A. at the end of
the last half. The game was clean and
the work of the referee was of the first
class. After the game little reception
was held at the Academy hall for the
Goddard boys. The time was spent in a
social dance, during which the Sophomore
girls served refreshments of ice cream,
cake and waters.
