Some Hike.

K. Barrett had a tough trip last
Monday. He had been working on
a mine about IS miles south of Soda.
vile, where the snow fell to a depth
Of over four feet. Mr. Barrett thought
he better hike out. He left camp
Monday morning with snow above
his waist and managed to get down
the mountain. Then the snow was
only two feet deep, but underneath
was a layer of ice, through which he
broke at every step, making progress
difficult and slow. When he arrived
at Sodaville at nine o'clock at night,
he was living iceberg. After be-
ing thawed out and taking an alcohol
bath, both internal and external. he
again set forth in search of his
mules, which he found four miles
away. And Notwithstanding the
fact that K. has passed the three
score and ten mark, he appears none
the worse for his difficult trip.

Golden Pen Deal
Involved Big Sum

Jesse Knight of Utah heads syn
dicate of western operators who have
purchased the Golden Pen mine at
Rand, from which has been taken ore
which runs $40 to the pound.
Associated with Knight are j. H.
Miller of Hawthorne, who has been
placed in charge of the property, and
Adams and O'Neill of Los Angeles.
1t is said $3.50, 600 was the purchase
price.
A number of western operators
sought to obtain this property,
which shipped $50, 900 worth of ore
in less than a year with only two
men working 10 the mine.
Commenting upon the purchase OF
the Golden Pen mine, Kerr said
The new owners are working Is
men. developing large bodies of mill
ing ore and taking out ore for ship
ment.
IAN unusual feature of the con-
tract under which Knight secured
the Golden Pen permits the former
owners to retain a payshoot 3S feet
in length in the center of the mine,
from which they shipped ore running
$40 a pound. They have almost a
carload OF this ore extracted ready
for shipment.
"The Queen Regent Merger Mines
company has opened on the first,
second and third levels a vein 80 tC
40 feet wide, showing excellent bod
les of milling ore. About 400 ton oil
good ore has been shipped.
Much new development is being
done at Rand. Three mines have
been opened, which have in the ag-
gregate shipped to exceed $109, 900
worth of ore. Review Miner.

ty at Pevine.
Although the distance to Raw.
hide is supposed to be only As miles,
owing to the condition of the roads
the big ten horse teams conveying
the outfit were ten days making the
trip.
The big engine, which was a part
of the equipment, was originally
erected on the Mint lease in the
palmy days of Rawhide and played
prominent part in the fire that
threatened to wipe the camp off the
map in the early part of September,
1908. 1t stood on commanding
position above the town back OF the
Nevada hotel, one of the largest
frame structures in the heart of the
camp. The engine, besides being
used as hoist, operated skidway
for dragging timbers up to the mine
from the main street by means of a
cable. The fire started near the
middle of the town and was sweep.
ing both ways. The fire fighters
soon found that in order to save the
upper portion of the town from de-
struction it would be necessary to
tear down a number of small shacks
adjoining the Nevada hotel. Some
quick witted individual hit upon the
novel idea of utilizing the Mint hoist
for the purpose. The long cable
was wrapped about the little struc.
lures and the command given to
''hoist away" and the buildings were
yanked from their foundations and
went shooting up the hill in jig time.
In this manner four buildings were
removed without recourse to the use
of powder and without leaving a
mass Of wreckage to feed the flames

Nevada hotel. thus preventing the
spread of the fire to the upper por.
tion of the town, which must surely
have been destroyed but for this

SIMPLE RULES FOR FIGURES
Remembering These, One May Ai.!ays
BE Sure az to the DivIsibility
Of Numbers.

It is often convenient to know
whether a given number is divisible
by another without going through the
usual process Of division. Almost ev-
eryone knows that, however large a
number may be. 1t is divisible by 5
IL the last digit Is or 0. The follow
ing gives the rule for some other num-
bers:
A number is divisible by when the
last digit is divisible by Q; by three
when the sum OF tha digits is divisible
by 3; by when the number repre-
senteL by the last two digfts Is divis-
ible by 4; by when the number ends
in S or 0; by when it is divisible by
and also by 3; by 8 when the num-
ber represented by the last three dig
it's is divisible by 8; by when the
sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
For example,: The number 1,72S Is
divisible by 2, because its last digit. 8,
is divisible by Q; by 4, because % Is
divisible by 4. and by s, because 1913
Is divisible by s. 1t is also divisible
by and by 9, for the sum of its digits
total IS, number divisible by and
by 8. Since it is GivIsible by and
by 3, it Is also divisible by 6.
To find whether a number is divis-
ible by 7, you must 60 through the
usual process of division.-Youth' 8

FIND THE QUALITY OF EGGS
Cornell Agricultural Experiment Sta.
tlon Recommends Gambling a.
the Best Method.

The quality of eggs depends not al
together upon the length of time they
have been kept, but quite as much
upon the conditions to which they
have been subjected between the time
Of laying and Of their final use. More
over, the quality of an egg may be af-
fected to some extent by the foods
eaten by the hen which lays 1t. and
possibly by the season of the year
when it is laid.
All these points and many others
are discussed in a bulletin on the in
terror quality of market eggs, issued
by the Cornell agricultural exeri-
ment station, which explains the proc
ess of egg production and the struc-
ture of the normal egg. It tells also
how the interior quality of market
eggs may be studied and advocates
Gambling as the best method. 1t gives
directions for Gambling and instruc-
tions for making Gambling devices.

Valuable Explorati, n.

Capt. joseph e. Bernier, polar ex-
plorer in the service of the Canadian
government for a number of years,
recently returned from a cruise of
more than 1000 miles through the
Arctic archipelago, during which he
placed many new islands, bays and
promontories on the map. During his
exploration work he had charted over
100000 square miles of islands in the
far North, and has discovered many
records of Arctic expeditions. He
has been commissioned to establish q
force Of the mounted police in Hudson
bay and to take possession of the Arc
tic archipelago between the region Of
141 degrees west to 60 degrees west
and all the adjacent islands as far az
80 degrees north latitude. Captain
Bernier's great ambition is to journey
to the North pole, an undertaking
which he believes he can accomplish
with no great difficulty when the op-
perfume time arrives.
