a part of the Dragon Consolidated.
While the Iron Blossom ores to the
south are of much lower grade, still
they carry good values, which should
bring the Dragon considerable profit.
We are told the Dragon is not only
entirely out of debt. but is gradually
building up a treasury reserve that
should shortly place 1t in a position
where II can enter the dividend list.
We consider Dragon Consolidated one
of the best buys on the board at
present prices.
South Hecla May Take Over Albion
Ground; Story Is Not Denied
1t has been rumored on the streets
for some time that the South Hecla
may absorb the Albion. Yesterday the
story strengthened. One account is
that the South Hecla may use part of
its 2S5, 600 shares in the treasury to
make the purchase. The Albion ad-
joins the South Heela in such a a
ner that it should eventually be of
value to the company. 1t is under
stood that some time ago s250,000
was asked for control.
1t is declared that within the week
the matter of a probable absorption
of the Albion by the South Hecla was
put up to General Manager George
H. Watson. In the form of a question,
and that he replied that the matter
is a possibility.
In fact 1t may be recalled that at
the time Colonel Watson wal organic
ing the South Hecla years ago he
made many attempts to get the Al
bion without success. He succeeded
in securing several properties which
were finally consolidated into what Is
now the South Hecla, which is today
considered by many potentially the
biggest mine in the Wasatch range
outside of Park City. Colonel Watson
was on his way to Alta yesterday and
could not be reached.
The Albion embraces a dozen
claims adjoining the South Hecla on
the east and southeast. The company
has 1,000.0 600 shares of 10 cents par
value. 1t is understood that the
treasury contains approximately 200,-
900 shares. The officers are William
Hatfield, president; Colonel G. F.
Loose, vice president. and H. T. Hat
field, secretary.
For the past two years or more an
energetic effort has been made to find
ore in commercial quantities OF the
lower levels of the Albion, reached
from the South Hecla's Quincy level,
but without success A large sum OF
money has been expended In this d.
rection. Recently Colonel Watson
has been in charge of these opera
tions. Some declare that the failure
to locate commercial ore has deter
mined the controlling owners of tie
Albion to finally let go the property
to the South Hecla on favorable
terms.

The Dogs Ancestors.

According to Charles r. Eastman,
writing in the Museum Journal, our
modern dogs have varied ancestry,
some being descended from Asiatic and
some from African species. The spitz
in all it's varieties is domesticated
jackal. The mastiff and ST. Bernard
and their kind are descended through
the molossus of the Romans from a
huge woklike creature that was al
ready domesticated by the Assyro-
Babylonians 5000 years before our
era. The Russian borzoi and the ST.
Gillian hound had their origin in the
Cretan hound, which is still common
in Crete, and it and its cousin, the
Ibaza hound Of the Balearic islands.
came from the ancient Ethiopian
hound, which was a domesticated wolf.
The collie or shepherd dog seems to
come down direct from a small wild
dog Of the paleolithic period,

Caught Gladstone Mapping.

An interesting story is told of Frank
O'Donnell, the Irish nationalist. Arab
Pasha had been captured, and Mr.. Glad
stone, arguing against communication
of capital punishment, declared that
the Egyptian insurrectionist had made
use of the white flag to withdraw his
forces and artillery from Alexandria.
This was, of course, practice gen
orally accepted as legitimate, and
ODonnell saw his opportunity. He
bought a copy Of Lord Wolseley's "Sol-
dier's Pocketbook," and within few
hours had given notice of question,
asking If Mr.. Gladstone would not take
steps to prohibit the circulation Of
Lord Wolseley's book, in which "the
deplorable practice employed by Arab
Pasha was recommended for use of
British soldiers" The question was
postponed on request, and within two
days Arab Pasha's sentence was COM
muted.

x . . -
Berlin (by wireless to Sayville, L.
IL, Dec. 27.-German newspapers
comment on the statement made in the
British house of commons December
y by Sir Edward Carson, first lord Of
the admiralty, in which he defended
the right of the government to arm
merchant ships for defensive purposes.
The Overseas News agency quotes the
German press as saying: ''By this
official utterance the British govern
ment openly admits that its merchant
ships have been armed for attack.
The statement that they must not seek
out the enemy in order, to attack him.
Indirectly means that an attack would
be permitted II hostile forces were
encountered by accident"

Coal In the Arctic,

A very promising source of coal is
Bear island, in the Arctic ocean, few
hundred miles from Spitzbergen, but
which has great advantage of the
latter place, also source of coal, in.
asmuch as shipments may be made at
any time of the year. This is owing
to its location on the edge Of the Gulf
stream drift, but as the current meets
a cold one from the polar regions, the
island is under fog almost constants

Influence Of Rome.

There are many customs which still
proclaim the ancient rule and inffu-
ence Of Rome that have persisted
through the centuries since the de
parture of hery glory For instance,
therelsisa the old Pyrrhic dance, the
robes with bells on sleeves and girdles.
The Roumanians still shout in Unison
to prevent Saturn from hearing the
voice of the infant Jupiter; and even
their oxen proclaim the "glory that
was Rome" In their names, for here
you may see Caesar and Brutus as
yoke fellows, and there Cassius and
Augustus.

Electric 4 an. Fer Winter.

Why is 1t that the first sign Of
cool weather the electric fan is rele-
gated to the cellar, the attic, or the
storeroom, as the case may be? Sim
ply because the mission Of the cleo
trio fan is misunderstood, observes the
Scientific American. 1t is looked upon
as device for cooling the air during
warm weather, when as a matter Of
fact 1t merely stirs the air. If ever
there was an efficient way of warming
room during the coolest winters day
it Is to place an electric fan near a
radiator SO that its breeze passes
through the heating coils. This re-
suits in creating current of warm air
throughout the room; and instead Of
the heat of the room being confined to
the immediate neighborhood Of the
radiator, it is distributed to the fur
thermost corners Of the room. Why
not try 1t?

Cork Linina for Clothes.

The new corn lining for waterproof
garments produced by a French proc
ess is claimed to be as flexible as thin
leather, and it may be folded without
harm. After the cork is sliced into
uniformly thin sheets, the fiexibility
is obtained by chemical treatment re-
moving all resinous matter. By means
Of special cement the cork is at
tached to one side Of any suitable
cloth, or, for greater.strength, the cork
may be used between two layers of
cloth. While the material is very
light, the special advantage of the cork
raincoat is said to be its porous quail
5ity, giving ventilation while shedding
rain.

Your B-e Gun.

Inexpensive toys are often well
made, but never proof against wear
and hard usage, and all shooting
weapons are subject to the latter. Most
frequently the trigger fails to hold the
spring plunger when the action Is
1levered and in this case the catch has
worn round. Simply unscrew the bolt
on which the trigger piece ipivots and
file the catch sharp on the back, being
careful to keep the angle the same.
The plunger catch rarely wears down,
but when 1t does get a new gun.

FALLIED FLEET
OFF The U. 5.
Disguised Warships in Western
Atlantic to Protect Ocean
Commerce.
STRANGE SHIPS REPORTED
Shippers q Vessels Entering Boston
Tell Activity Of Heavily Armed
Craft That Await Submarine
Raiders.

Boston, Dec. 27.-The presence on
this side Of the Atlantic Of formid-
able fleet Of allied warships was indf-
Gated definitely. The vessels are
known officially as commerce protect
ors. They are heavily armed and dis
guised. For obvious reasons their ex-
act disposition is not revealed, but the
arrival recently In American waters Of
this newest unit of the British and
French admiralties was made known
from source that hardly can be mis-
taken.
For some days shippers of transat-
lantic and coastwise steamers have
been bringing to New England ports
reports Of strange appearing craft that
were making their way westward.
No Replies to Signals.
They made no reply to signals and
could not be approached. They steered
vagrant course and were described
variously as of the fashion of mer-
chantmen, transports, light cruisers
and even Of submarines. Pieced to-
gether these reports fitted in with the
suspicion now apparently confirmed, of
shipping men. 1t is said the fleet ar
rived safely at Halifax, Nova Scotia,
few days ago.
The commerce protectors are de-
scribed as large and powerful, but
capable of fair speed. They were de-
signed, it is said, to meet the German
U-boat danger, and in anticipation of
an attempted raid off the Canadian
coast similar to that made by the U53
off Nantucket on October 8.
To Prevent Another Raid.
At that time shipping men figured
there was not an allied warship within
500 miles of the spot that Capt. Hans
Rose deliberately selected in which to
operate. The British admiralty, it is
said, determined to make impossible
another such raid, and the fleet of com
merce protectors was the. fruition Of
the plan then formulated.

Winding your own business and not

pointments you have never failed to
keep; the trains you have never fail

ion whose motto is: "Help yourself,
and heaven will help you" Luck
comes TO them who help themselves
and know how to wait.-Max O'Rell.

Hatred for Wronus.

Why should we let our hearts grow
hard in hatred Of any because of real
or fancied wrongs? If 1t is a real
wrong someone has done us, he has
hurt himself more than he can hurt
us. If we are just, we shall find many
things we think wrongs only fancied
ones, or things that really do not mat
ter. Remember the things that should
make you glad. If the world looks
dark, look within and see if you your
self are casting shadow on your sun
shine.
