LIFTS FIRE OUT OF HOUSE
From Blazing Stove in New
Jersey Town.

A. R. Gerber, a local clothing mer-
chant, was the hero at a fire to which
he was called as he was passing
through Hartford in his automobile on
his way home from Philadelphia.
When a mi ran from her house
and yelled that her kitchen was ON
fire Gerber didn't need any second
alarm. Slamming or the emergency
brake, he jumped from his machine
before it was stopped and found the
gasoline stove ablaze.
Calmly moving some furniture out
of his way and taking the woman's
dinner from the stove so it would not
be ruined, he pulled the blazing stove
right out the back door and landed it
where it could do no further damage
except to itself.-Mount Holly IN. j.

Our Grandmother's Dyes.
From dc Indiananolis Star

FROM Tie lnuldndDDlS star.
A Pennsylvania manufacturer announces
with a flourish that he has a new dye that
has stood all necessary tests and will help
to solve the difficulty that comes from
inability to import German dyes. The
basis of the new dye Is logwood and the
other ingredients are easily obtained.
Probably the man has found the for
mula his grandmother used when she dyed
yarns for knitting and weaving or colored
her blankets or carpet rags. The grand
mother had all sorts OF recipes for home
made dyestuffs, most Of the mixtures be-
ing of vegetable origin and some OF them
containing logwood, which was brought
from the West Indies and was to be had
at any general store"
Moreover, the pioneer mothers knew
how to make these dyes fast" the col
ors remained unchanged in the fabric
dyed, no matter how much they were
washed and worn. There was no secret
about these mixtures; some Wo,een, ira
dition has 1t. could get better coSsfs than
others, but the domestic dye pot was
known in every household.
When analine and other cheap dyes
cane into use many new and beautiful
shades and tints were made possible, but,
alas! they faded easily; fast colors ceased
to be. The coal tar products even pene-
trated the Far East. and weavers of ORR
entail rugs. once colored only with vege-
table dyes, began to use the convenient
substitute to the great distress OF COL
%lectors. Perhaps the absence of the Ger
man dyes may result in the permanent
adoption OF q better substitute, thus bring
ing good out of temporary evil.

1t is reported that preliminary ar
engagements are nov being made to
take up the work of reopening the
Union shaft from the 1000 level to
the 25vv level and some work in
that direction has already been done.
A hoist is to be installed on the
1000 level station and the reopen
ing of the shaft will thus be carried
forward without interfering with the
regular hosting operations from the
1000 to the surface.
The Importance of opening this
shaft for an additional 500 is real
lied by all of the companies oper-
ating in that locality, not only on
account of the improved ventilation
thus secured on the deep levels but
it will eliminate long trans. and re-
duce operating expenses probably
close to 80 per cent. In what con-
dition the shaft will be found is not
definitely known but it is believed
that the repairs and cleaning out
can be accomplished at a compare
lively reasonable cost.
The fine ore developments now
being made by the Sierra Nevada and
Union Con. mines and the extensive
exploration and development WORE
Of the Mexican and other mines,
renders the recovery of this section
of shaft particularly desirable for
it will add immensely to the facili-

character, all of the workings points

GERMANS IMPROVING
AEROPLANE TACTICS
TEUTONIC AIRMEN ARE MORE
DARING THAN FORMERLY
IN ATTACKING

LONDON, Nov. 16. - German air
strategy has changed since last May,
when, for a period of some months,
few German aerOplanes appeared
near the allied lines on the western
front. But the latest reports from
Sir John French show hat more
than 200 air battles have been fought
by whom sixteen German aeroplanes
were brought down. These included
several new types, besides the ia
miliar Taube.
The new types the Germans have
been experimenting with are modelled
on the battleplane idea. One of
these was a big, heavily armed BIZ
rlane with twin bodies and two or
three engines. But it did not seem
to be entirely successful, as it was
rather slow and unwieldy. Next to
appear were two very similar BIZ
planes of the ordinary tractor type
with single but very powerful en-
gines. The two used to chase up
anu uOWH inc Vel udH iihCo az "
rible speed and with an unusual
amount of noise, apparently to
brighten away British airmen.
Apparently they impressed the
Germans as useful, as more of the
same type made their appearance.
Machine guns fore and aft, the
range of the first limited by the pro-
peller, and the after gun having a
clear field in an upward direction,
gave them a certain formidableness
as scouts. Several of these were
brought down by both British and
French, but their numbers have new
ertheless continued to increase OF
late. They keep largely to their own
lines, which seems to be the Ger
man plan of air strategy.
The German plan is obviously to
destroy the greatest number of ene-
my a%eroplanes with a minimum loss
! to themselves. They do this by en-
ticing the foe over their own Ines
1t is an important advantage to fight
an adversary yer ones own lines
as the airman not only has the sup
port of high-angle guns below blu,
can land within his own territory In
case of injury to himself or to his
machine.

TONOPAK OUTPUT IS INCREASING
IN VALUE WITH SIlVER'S ADVANCE

cut the entire claim just east of the
Occidental end line. This work will
undoubtedly be of the most interest
ing character, as it has long been
contemplated, and will no DOUBT,
open up some encouraging territory.
The report of the Montana Tono-
pah mine shows that all of the
leasers have been working very en-
ergetically since the last report was
rendered, and while the shipments
for the last week are not unusually
large, it is automatically stated that
getting out substantial tonnag to be
shipped in the near future. The val
lie OF these shipments will be ma
terially enhanced by virtue of the re-
cent rise in the price of silver.
North Star Improves
The report of the North Star
company for the week is of a de-
cidedly encouraging nature. The
shipments of the company to the
West End mill were increased to
100 tons.
The development on the $50 inter-
mediate level is progressing in a
highly satisfactory way. Stopping is
in progress on the new orebody re-
Gently encountered. showing an
average width of about two and a
half feet of good ore.
The upraise started from the foot
wall cross-cut on the $50 level mas
reached the downward continuation
of this vein. Ore has been encoun-
tered about 10 feet above the $50
level at it's intersection with the
same fault that marked it's occur
renee on the 900 level. The vein
where encountered in this upraise is
about three feet wide and is of very
satisfactory values.
New developments of great i'm
portance are being had at the Mon
arch Pittsburgh property this week
The intermediate cross-cut, between
the $50 and the 1000 level, was
started for the purpose of cutting
the downward extension of the big
vein that was cut on the $50 level.
and which contained rich sulphide
ore.
The repairs in the shaft of the
Mizpah Extension, referred to last
week, have been completed. While
these repairs we're of a minor char
acter, consisting of retimbering
some loose sets, their completion
will undoubtedly contribute to the
systematic development going on at
this time in the property.-Tonopah
