COYOTE AND RANCHER
HAVE A LIVELY RACE

P. S. Brooks, superintendent of the
George Russell Cattle Co., was in town
yesterday and reported another rabid
coyote being slain at theI25 ranch the
other day after 1t had bitten a hog.
Mr.. Brooks says that the coyote
seemed to have only shortly gone mad
before appearing at the ranch as 1t
was in good condition otherwise,
which is not the case very long after
they become infected. The coyote was
first seen by one of the ranch hands
outside of the corral and made for
the man at once. He was unarmed
and Brooks says that the race he put
up to reach the fence was a marvel
OF speed. He beat the coyote out
easily and then gave the alarm to
those within the ranch house, but be-

swEDE FROM COPPER
CANYON PROVES HERO

Associated Press dispatches Of the
whose identity was not learned who
volunteered to swim the Tia Juana
river at the height OF the flood in an
attempt to re-establish telegraphic
communication after San Diego had
been cut off from the outside world
for more than four days.
In the first attempt the unknown
hero narrowly escaped with his life,
being swept away by the raging tor
rent, and he was rescued by a party
of Indians who formed n human life
line by joining hands On the river
bank at the bar which obstructs the
mouth of the river. They succeeded in
dragging him to safety just outside of
the breakers which rage and roar with
out ceasing at the point where the
river flows into the Pacific ocean.
Paying no attention to those who as
sured him tina the was going to GER
tain death he made the attempt once
more and succeeded in landing on the
San Diego bank, dragging with him a
light rope to which was attached a
telegraph wire, and the southern city
was once more in touch with the outer
world.
1t has since transpired that the I'M
known hero was none other than Fred
Rosberg, of Copper Canyon, who left
here a month ago to visit the San
Diego Fair and the races at Tia
Juana. A purse OF 800 which was
presented to him by the business men
of San Diego was returned by him
with the request that it be used for
relief purposes, together with his per-
sonal check in the sum Of twenty dol
lars, drawn upon the Horton Banking
company of Battle Mountain.-Scout.

Probably no metal has experienced
more fluctuation in price. unless 1t
be silver, than has platinum. In 1874
It was worth Sc or 81 an ounce. In
1898 it had increased TO between $40
and $50. In 1907 its price averaged
$35. Though it fell to less than $50 in
1908. probably through lack of com.
mercial demands. il has almost stead
fly risen and has now reached the
highest point in its history. being
quoted at from s55 to $50 per ounce.
The limited distribution and the al
most steady increase in its demand
during long term of years give every
assurance that its value will not ser
iously depreciate.
The splendid character of platinum
may best be expressed by those rare
physical qualities which not only sur
pass the properties of all other COM
mercial metals. but place 1t really in
class by itself. First it has great
er specific gravity than any other
known substance, excepting only irid-
ium and osmium, with which 1t is al
ways found, and to which 1t has the
strongest neurological alliance. Sec
ondly, its melting point is far higher
than that of any metal known in the
history OF manufacturing. Thirdly, it
has a remarkably low coefficient of
expansion. Fourthly. no acid but aqua
regia can attack it. Unlike all other
metals which are used in the arts, it
remains absolutely impervious TO the
corrosive action of oxygen or any 9TH
er gas. Its untarnishable brilliancy
defies the elements. When II is COM
bined with its natural alloy. iridium, it
possesses a hardness that approaches
the absolute. The greatest evidence
of its superlative worth is that the
nations, seeking medium that would
maintain its character forever, chose
platinum from which to make the
standards of the weights and measures
of the civilized world.

None of the eight big warships au-

three years and a half Rear Admiral
Taylor, chief constructor of the navy.

Admiral Taylor thought the govern
ment faced the same difficulties with
shortage of skilled labor and material
that confronted private shipbuilders.
With the end of the European war the
labor situation is expected to be much
relieved.
The navy has under consideration
plans for forty-thousand-ton battle
ship which, in addition to heavier
guns and armor would have also a
speed several knots in excess of that
now fixed for ships of the fighting
line.
