The old man in the rhyme:
There was an old man who had wooden
leg,
So he took four spools and an old tin can,
And made a and the darned thing
ran"
isn't in the same class when 1t comes
to ingenuity with Fire Chief Benjamin
L. Smith of the Fairfield Fire Depart
ment. Now Fairfield is an enterpris-
ing up-to- date New England town, and
to keep up their record the need of
more modern fire fighting equipment
was felt. An auto fire truck was just
what was needed. But how to get it
was the next question. where was the
money coming from to buy this much
needed addition? Answer:-Take the
chemical truck Of the old equipment,
the recently purchased new fire hose
and the new chemical hose, the
hand chemicals, the lanterns, the
chemical tanks and the % fire laddies
of the fire company, add to this a first
class chassis from the General Motor
Co., of Boston, with a 50-horse power
engine, record for making IS miles an
hour. and a siren horn. But how was
this to make modern fire auto
truck. Ask Fire Chief Ben and
he will tell you just how he
with the able assistance of Stillman
o. Sawyer went about it, fig
ured the whole thing out, worked night
and day In the Smith Woodman garage
and turned out the best fire auto truck
you could imagine. In fact, a veteran
fireman from the Hub was recently in
Fairfield and upon viewing the result
could hardly believe his eyes, You
never could tell it from a $4,000 ma
chine. and it cost in all about s2,700"
was the comment of one admrer.
The chassis has n 15S-inch Wheel
base, and was brought down from Bos-
ton by Fire Chief Ben who went up
there for the express purpose. When it
reached town all those who viewed it
did so with considerable skepticism.
ITS the funniest looking thing, and
how can you ever make anything of
that?" The dual wheels on the rear
are for the purpose Of flying around
the Fairfield corners on high, and keep
ing the truck on the ground. On the
truck are two chemical tanks with a
4o-gallon capacity each. There are
1000 feet of 2 1-2 inch fire hose and 200
feet of chemical hose, a 40-foot extern
sion ladder, a 20-foot straight ladder,
and % rubber coats and rubber hats of
the members of the fire company. four
nand chemicals. four lanterns, and that
700 siren whistle on the new truck.

About Dogs.

Dog fanciers have long noted that
when a house-dog begins to get fat
and wheezy 1t is pretty apt to be at
tackled by a stubborn skin disease. In
such case they cut down the diet and
increase the open air exercise. thus
relieving the over-burdened body Of
poisonous substances.
The sin of gluttony Is common and
therefore much condoned, but like
every other violation Of Natures laws
has a penalty. Fat ineff1ciency, slug
gish mentality, the Redeemed nose. the
pimpled face, certain of the chronic
skin eruptions, and much fatigue and
nervousness are due to the abuse of
the digestive apparatus. Rich, indi-
gestible foods in large quantities,
highly seasoned to stimulate the jaded
palate, are forced into a body already
rebellious from repletion. Exercise Is
largely limited to walking to and from
the table and bodily deterioration pro-
ceeds rapidly. Many an overfed dys-
peptic, suddenly dragged by the stern
hand of circumstances from a life of
physical ease and plenty and forced to
work out of doors suddenly discovers
that his semi invalidism has gone, that
a chronic skin arrangement of many
wears standing has disappeared and
that a new vigor and zest Of life has
been given him.
Not everyone can spend his whole
time in the open air but a certain
amount of exercise and plain whole
some wood in an amount not exceed
ing the body's needs can be had by al.
most everyone. Simple moderate diet
and exercise make for health. These
are not faddish food theories: they ara
lust plain common sense.

ORIzAbA MINE
HAS NEW FIND
PROPERTY CONTROLLED BY
BLACK BUTTE REPORTED
IN FINE SHAPE

A new discovery, said to be one
of the greatest importance, has
been made in the Orizaba property,
situated north of the town of Mil
lers and controlled by the Diamond
field Black Butte company of Gold
field The new find was made in
extending the old workings to the
east on the 90-foot level and it is
said to open possibilities for a sub
stantial production above this depth.
The property has already made a
large number of shipments of high
grade ore from above this level.
Samples taken from a number of
points in drifts on the 90-foot level
and from shallow wines below this
level indicate that there is a wide
distribution of ore of commercial
grade. Some assays from the drift
yielded over $50 per ton, while a
sample taken just below the drift
gave over $500 per ton. The metal
lie content is silver, with a small
amount of gold.
In the course of earlier opera
tions the main shaft was sunk

a strong flow of water, to handle
which no equipment was available.
rendered further sinking impossi-
bic at the time. Plans are Eow un-
der consideration for the sinking
of the shaft another 100 feet, and
from all indications this would place
in sight a large tonnage of ship
ping ore. One experienced mining
man who inspected and sampled the
property declared that another 100
feet of sinking would make
million-dollar mine of the Orizaba
property. while others who have
visited the mine are almost equally
sanguine regarding it's future.
The company's property in the
Diamondfield part of the Goldfield
district is attracting more attention
and is said to be in better condition
than for number of years past.
1t is reported that some ore of ec-
ceedinglv high grade has been ex-
posed in extending old workings

REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDF|ELD DISTRICT

Information of most encourag-

from a half dozen or more proper

velopment in the Goldfield district,
indicating that the future holds as

Metallurgical problems have caus-

flotation process on a large scale
here, but these problems are be-

in a short time local companies will
be treating large tonnage by this
process. That the companies have
ample assurance of the ultimate
success of the process is attested by
the elaborate preparations now be-
ing made for handling a greatly in
creased tonnage of ore, particularly
from deep levels, where the ore
contains copper and is better suited
for flotation than the product min
ed nearer the surface.

and at great depth, stimulating the
belief that future prospecting may
result in other discoveries of value
in properties now working or upon
which development work is planned
for the future. AS this work pro
crosses much is being learned of
the geology of the district that has
puzzled mine operators in the past.
Prospects of the district are in
every way bright. and it is believed
by good authorities that the output
of the district will be greatly in
