Heat Off in Summer.

In warm weather, when efficient car
buretion often ceases to be problem
the heat can be shut off by turning a
butterfly valve located at the exhaust
connection of the manifold jacket. In
addition there is another butterfly
valve at the connection of the car
buretor exhaust jacket. which Is linked
to the throttle valve and automatically
shuts off the heat when the throttle Is
wide open.

Heated Manifold Aids Motor.

An inspection of automobiles, how
ever, is exceedingly encouraging. A
solution of the problem apparently has
been found In devices used on several
makes of cars, among which is an'eX-
haust-heated manifold consisting OF
three separate but connecting jackets
that furnish three different degrees OF
heat at three different points.
The first jacket incloses the branch
of the manifold, heating the gasoline
at the point of immediate distribution
to the cylinders and taking care of any
condensation. The second is around
the throttle chamber, where 1t prevents
condensation around the throttle valve
at low thrOttles. The third Is located
at the low speed throat of the car
buretor, insuring Importation at low
Snpads

ROADS AND BRIDGES BEING
PREPARED AGAINST FLOODS

While IN Gunnison last week, T. J.
Ehrhart, chairman Of the State High
way commission, inspected the Gun
nison river bridge north Of town and
yesterday sent his engineer over to
make surveys and estimates rs to the
cost Of fixing the bridge against fu-
ture floods. A number of measures
are being adopted, one Of which il to
make an additional span Of - feet ut
this end. Commissioner Geo. Miller
states that it IL the intention to fix
that bridge this trip.
The state bridge west Of town, or
rather the state road this side Of the
bridge, which was under water sew
eral weeks last spring, will be taken
in hand. Road Superintendent Wiley
has q force Of men strengthening the
road and making numerous changes in
the channel above.
Probably the old Gunnison will not

R. U. GAZETTE SELLS MOLYB-
DENUM CLAIM FOR $1e,000

Gr1md Junction News:-
Ralph Gavette, one Of the brothers
who runs the stage between Grand
Junction and Gateway, reports the
sale Of three molybdenum claims in
the Unaweep Canon to the C.P. Molyb-
denum company for $4,000 A sub
stantial payment has been made al

according to the contract. Mr.. Ga
vette retains an interest equal to one
tenth and expects to be wearing dia-

Mr.. Gavette located the claims in
rather novel way. He was down to
some other claims ON the other side
of the canon not long since and say
some Of the rich ore being taken out
of q rich vein. He thought to himself
that If there was good vein Of this
rich ore that is now in demand by the
government on one side, it should be
on the other side of the canon as well,
SO he meandered over to the opposite
wall and there found the vein exposed
for some 800 feet right on the surface,
although It was larger than the other
vein, this being fully three feet wide.
The samples Of ore were shown to
Pearson Of Grand Junction, an old
mining man, and he decided to finance
