had pointed out to him one day the
exact amount of his expenses for
tobacco during the course of a year.

physically and financially without the
pipe and the cigars"
We'll, maybe SO; but all great

The Crested Fly Catcher.

Why does the crested fly catcher Sc
lect a dried snake skin to line his nest?
Some naturalists believe it is to rem
der the nest waterproof. Others think
the dried skin serves as Il burglar
alarm, to rattle at the approach or ii
squirrel OF other enemy.
This bird builds his nest in hollow
trees, stumps or posts. Sometimes he
rents the abandoned home of the wood
pecker. Professor III. A. Surface, Penn
s~ylvania state Zoologist, tells of one
that usurped a rural mail box for his
fiat. OF recent years they have been
known to inhabit box homes put up fol
their special benefit.
SO if you want to encourage the
crested fly catcher, build him a box
nest. He'll pay the rent many times

pers, butterflies and moths.-EXchangG

INSTRUMENTAL
DRIVING AO|TS
LARGE VEINS ARE BEING EN-
PLORED IN PROGRESS
OF WORK

Col. H. G.. Richardson, general
manager of the Austin Nevada Con-
s%olidated Mining Co., came down
from Austin Monday en- route to
Sap Francisco and Los Angeles
where he will make arrangements
for a compressor and drills to be
used on the Austin property.
In speaking of Austin, Mr.. Rich
ardson said that work On their
property was going on with all
possible speed, the Colonel himself
having taken a hand at the drill
in order to rush some work he
wished to complete before leaving
for the coast.
Two tunnels are being driven on
the property to cut the many veins
cropping on the surface.
The principal tunnel is now 900
feet from portal to face and in
driving numerous veins have been
intersected.
One Just cut through was 60 feet
wide and gave very encouraging
assay returns in gold, while many
stringers coming in ran $50 oun-
ces in silver.
Presumably they are just now on
the edge of a fault and have been
for some 40 feet. AS the extraction
is a mixture of vein matter and
fault, yet assays taken from that
conglomerate mass will average
$40 in gold with fair returns in
silver.
They have been in this vein
matter for a distance of 40 feet.
The plan of the management, how
ever. is to drive on and cut the
big vein which has been uncovered
on the surface for some 16 feet and
assays from 9 to 68 in gold.
1t is expected that by driving at
the present rate to intersect this
vein in from $50 to 800 feet. That
will give a verticle depth of 500
feet. Then extensive development
work will commence by drifting
both ways on the vein.
The Austin Nevada is also devel-
oping a system of entirely gold
bearing veins or Bald Mountain
across the gulch and due east of
| their principal workings.
1t is just such work that is being
done on the Austin Nevada that
will again put Austin in the pro-
ducinq class. Battle Mountain

Swamp Lands.

The national chamber of commerce
declares that had not the hospital
corps of the army definitely determil-
ed the status of the mosquito and thus
caused m~enacing swamp lands to he
drained it is al open question whether
the building of the Panama canal
would have been possible.
In following up this work we find
that the United States in draining
breeding places of the mosquito has
reclaimed thousands of acres of land
and made them available for agricul-
tural purposes. There are approx
mately 1OO,O00,O 600 acres of swamp
lands in the country where for years
the mosquito has held undisputed
sway, of which 75,OO0,OOO, or about
one-eighth of the total area of the
country, can be reclaimed for the plow-
share. The only value of swamp land
lies in it's possibility of reclamation;
otherwise it is IA serious liability as a
breeder of disease.-Leslie's

Embroidery Designs.

Here are suggestions for transfer
ring the embroidery design before you
to n material:
Perhaps the easiest way is the win.
dowpane' method. This is successful.
when the material Is thin, like linen.
batiste, etc. Pin the sheet of paper and
the material together and hold them up
against the glass of a window. With a
sharp pencil oraw on the material the
design, which can be easily seen
through the goods. If one-half of the
design is given unpin the paper and
turn the other side to the fabric.
If you have carbon paper you should
place the sheet between the fabric and
the newspaper. The latter is on top.
With a sharp pencil go over the out
line of the design. The impression will
be left In fine lines and will last until
worked.-Exchange.
