GRANT COUNTY MAN
BUYS AN ICE MINE
Natural Phenomena Is Located
Near COuderspOrt, Pa.
In the Summer Time.-May
Be Big Thing.

Did you ever hear of an ice mine?
E. H. Smith, son-in-law of Clinton
Cardy, living eight miles this side of
Cassville, is part owner ofwhat is
claimed to be the only ice mine in the
world that actually manufactures ice.
This interesting phenomena is located
about four miles out of the city OF
Coudersport, Pa. Mr.. Smith who has
been until a year ago preceptor OF
Adelphia academy, Holly, Michigan,
and his brother-in-law, are owners of
the property The mine itself is To-
Gated on a hillside in a rather rough
country, and is six feet across the top
and thirty feet deep. During the sum-
mer time mist rises from the cavity,
icicles for around the sides, and the
bottom contains pure ice for num-
Der of feet deep.
Mr.. Smith relates that his brother
in-law who is an instructor in an ONO
college, while travelling through Penn
sylvania, ran onto the property which
at that time was owned by an old man
named Dodd. Mr.. Dodd made no at
tempt to commercialize his holding be-
yond charging a fee of rs cents to the
curious passerby.
The new owners purchased the land
containing twenty-six acres and the
improvements, for $1,000, about year
ago. They expect to advertise the
mine as a natural curiosity and also
to market the ice which forms in I'M
limited quantities. Being young men
of push and enterprise they will no
doubt make a success of it.
But about the mine. According to
Mr.. Smith the mine was discovered
about eighteen years ago when some
people were prospecting. The pros
pectors dug down about twenty-five
feet. when the bottom of the cavity
seemed to be hollow, and they were
afraid to go further. Since then the
bottom caved in for about six feet and
the ice commenced to form. An ex-
pert from the United States geological
department has investigated the cav
ern and after a careful examination
was unable to give any conclusive rea-
son for the phenomena. He suggested
however, that in his opinion cold air
arose from hole during the summer
months striking the warm air of the
surface causing condensation OF the
moisture in the atmosphere and sub
sequent freezing. He also stated that
there might possibly be vein of plat
inum in the earth at the location OF
the mine.
Mr.. Smith says that during the win
ter months the cavity is entirely dry
and that the surface of the ground for
a strip of about fifty feet in length
is free from snow or ice
Do you believe it? Mr.. Smith is a
man who gives every evidence of sin
cerity. If you do not, it is very easy
to take the train and run down to
Coudersport, or stop off on your next
visit to New York or London.

OPPORTUNITY.

They do me wrong who say l come no
more
When once l knock and fail to find
you in;
For every day 1 stand outside your
door,
And bid you wake, and rise to fight
and win.
Wall not for precious chances past
away;
Weep not for golden ages on the wane
Each night l burn the records of the
day;
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like a boy at splendors that
have sped;
To vanish joys be blind and deaf and
dumb;
My judgments seal the dead past with
it's dead,
But never bind a moment yet to come.
Though deep in mire, wiring not your
hands and weep;
/ lend my arm to all who say Il cam.
No shamefaced outcast ever sank so
deep
But yet might rise and be again man.
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all
aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retribution's
blow?
The turn from blotted archives of the
past
And find the futures pages white as
snow.-Walter Malone.

MY son.

that yearned for youth, my own
again,
And mourned the wasted hours of
younger days,
that had signed for spring, for
summer, when
The SHOWS of winter covered all my
ways
that had prayed for years, for only
one,
Have found that prayer answered in
my son.
He is myself again, with hopes of
old,
With old temptations and with old
desires;
He is myself again-the clay to
mold
Into the man, and all the man as
pires.
Who says that youth returns to us
no more?
He is as l was in the days of yore.
In my own days, in my own days of
youth,
All, how / wished a comrade and a
frlend!-
To help me keep the quiet path of
truth,
And through temptation my own feet
attend.
So shall 1 journey onward by his
side.
His father-yet his comrade and his
guide.
/ that have failed shall shape sue
cess in him,
that have wandered point the prop
er path,
A signal when the lights are dim
A signal when the signal lights were
dim,
A roof to fend him from the storms
of wrath
So we shall journey upward, l and
he,
And he shall be the man | meant to
be-

A CLOSE CALL
RANCHER PINNED UNDER NOW.
Err NEAR DEATH BEFORE
RESCUED.

Pierre, Nov. 3.-To be caught I'M
der a mower and the team tangled in
the harness piled upon the machine
was the close call to serious injury
on the part of Henry Hudson, a prom
inent Cheyenne river rancher, a few
days go. That he came out with
nothing worse than a number of bad
bruises and a lacerated arm was for
tunate for him. He had started to
unhitch his team from the mower,
and with one Jug yet hitched, they
started to run. In attempting to stop
them he was caught and dragged I'M
der the machine, but held to the lines
and the team tangled in the harness
and fell over the mower, where the
pile-up remained until n%eighbors
could come to his aid and untangle
things.
Stanley Philip and William Powell,
two other Stanley county ranchers,
had a close call from serious injury
when the team they were driving
started TO run and the tongue of their
wagon dropped to the ground, and
throwing the wagon box high in the
air and shot the occupants out onto
the prairie. Powell fefl upon the
hard roadway and was unconscioC
for several hours after being picked
up, while Philip came off with slight
injuries.

THE FUEL PROPOSITION
MORE COAL WILL BE USED ON
ACCOUNT OF SHORTAGE OF
CORNCOBs FOR FUEL.

The fact that more coal will prob
ably be used in this district during
the coming few months than has been
burned here in previous average win
tiers, and that western railways will
probably be at least a trifle delin-
quent in delivering fuel after the
close of the fall grain movement. is
not likely to materially affect either
the supply or prices of coal. accord
ing to information given out today
by local dealers.
Despite unsettled labor conditions
which obtained at some of the mines
this year, the prices of both hard and
SOFT coal are the same as last season.
High grade anthracite retaiIs at
SLIPS a ton. delivered, and bitumi-
nous coal brings $3.50 for the Mary
land product, and IS for that from
the Ohio mines.
Dealers predict that If the winter
Is a normal one, the demands on their
stocks will be considerably heavier
than usual, especially in the country.
they cite that farmers in this vicin-
ity for the first time within the recol-
lection of many, will not. because of
the failure of the corr crop, be able
to do their cooking by heat generated
from cobs. Where in the past cook
ing was done over cob fires in most
rural and in many town homes. il
Will be necessary for all this winter
TO resort to coal. 1t is estimated that
the foregoing condition will augment
the sales of soft coal in Madison at
least 20 per cent.
Largely owing TO the mild late falI
weather, the seasons fuel sales have
so far been comparatively light. Mer-
chants advise that householders
should not delay a minute longer
THAI necessary in laying in their sup
plies of fuel. as the price cannot by
any possible chance decline, and that
by deferring placing their orders un-
I'll the first cold snap, is likely to in
volve many in a rush that will spell
belated deliveries for numbers.
Experience CLEANED in former. years
has taught dealers. they announce.
thai while the fall grain movement is
on, IL is of slight difficulty to obtain
delivery of coal from the docks at the
head of the Great Lakes. With the
height OF the grain shipment over,
which usually occurs about December
L, the railways are reluctant TO make
haste in carrying empty cars to Su-
perior and Duluth in order to supply
the sometimes delinquent western
districts with fuel.
