every avenue of transportation, and
that coming back in comfort will be
out of the question.
The usual short vacation trips are
being repeated Niagara Falls, Allan
tic City, Lake George, Lake Hopat-
cong and all the rest dividing the

RICH ORE FROM
BUCKSKIN MARY

Ben Farrar, president of the Buck.
skin Mary Mines company, arrived
from camp the latter part Of the
week, bringing in fine samples Of
ore.
He reports a small force of men
working on a shaft, which issdown for
40 feet, with four feet of heavily
mineralized ore. Six to eight inches
of this carries sulphide of iron and
ruby silver, which is found on the
hanging wall and will run from $3.50
to 5000 per ton. Bunches of ore are
found in the vein which run from SIC
to $40.
According to Mr.. Farrar, work has
not yet opened up for the spring on
the Buckskin mines. At places the
snow drifted to depth of ten feet
which makes it hard to begin opera
tions. 1t is thought, however, that
work will be in full blast by the first
of June.

WATCHING FOR FIRES
IN MOUNTAIN rORDaTa

The fire fighting force in the m.
tional forests is organized to detect
and locate a FIRE accurately, the mo-
ment the first whisp of smoke appears
as well as to get to it and start fight
ing it without delay. In the noun
tain forests lookouts are placed on
peaks that command extensive views
of the forest, constant watch is
kept during the danger season by men
equipped with binoculars, and in this
way the first indication of fire is
discovered, says the May Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Each lookout sta
tion is equipped with a plane table
covered with map on which q large
circle, divided into $50 degrees, is
drawn. Over this is placed a straight
edge which carries two standards for
sighting, the straightedge being piv-
oted at the center of the circle. When
a fire is discovered this instrument is
sighted to it and the angle is read at
the point where the straightedge in
tersects the circle This angular
measurement is teIerhoned to the su-
pervisor s Office, and, in combination
with similar measurement from an
other lookout, serves to locate the
FIRE definitely on the map in the super
wiser 3 of3ce, the location being found
by drawing out the sight lines from
the two iook0uts to an intersoesion
with each other.
