into thin air. There was nothing left
to do but retrace their steps, Ethel
with heavy heart and Morgan with a
much-puzzled brain.
Walking with heavy steps beneath
his burden the Hermit continued his
way until he reached a cave at the
foot of the ravine the mouth of the
place being well screened by growth
of shrubs. Into this opening he car
ried his burden and lighting a lantern
again examined him. Finding no
bones broken, he secured bottle from
small medicine chest. Carefully he
read the label.
"To induce sound sleep give patient
twenty drops in water" The old man
drew the cork.
"And keep him unconscious 1 must
until / can return him to the Indian
and the girl" Pressing the draught
to the still senseless mans lips he
watched the other until he saw a gen.
tie stirring of the form, soon followed
by the deep breathing of slumber.
Then taking down bow and arrow
he wrote a note, fastened it to the
arrows shaft and stepped to the mouth
Of the cave.
Night had fallen when he cautiously
drew near the cabin. Taking aim at
a lighted window he let the arrow fly,
and with splintering Of glass the
shaft passed through and stood quiv-
ering in a table. Alarmed by the
sound of the breaking glass, the occu-
pants Of the place ran to the table.
Ethel, arriving first, snatched the pa
per from the shaft and opening It
read aloud.
Davis is alive and in a deep sleep
in cave hidden by brush at the south
Of Pinnacle Rock in the gorge. See
jeremiah VI-25."
"And what does he mean by that?
Who is Jeremiah?" growled the Hawk.
Without speaking the girl slipping into
her room picked up her Bible.
Quickly improvising litter and Sc
curing lanterns and pine torches Ethel,
Morgan, Rainface and the big-hearted
Bridget started on their way to find
the cave With Pinnacle Rock as their
guide they soon located its entrance,
and pushing aside the screen entered.
A glance showed them that it contain
ed no evidences of ever having been in
habited, the only object that yet
their eyes being the form of the I'M
conscious man. Ethel rushing for
ward, fell upon her knees beside it.
THANK heaven he still lives" she
cried fervently as she lifted her face
after having it before his lips that
she might feel If he were breathing.
Murderous though his disappointment
was that he had again failed to make
way with his rival, the Hawk was
obliged TO smother it.
"That's lucky. We must get him
back to the cabin as soon as we can"
Placing him upon the litter they began
their return.
An hour later John, sufficiently re-
vived to stand upon his feet, turned to
Morgan.
81 thought l heard a shot as I chung
to the tree just before l fell" he said.
The one addressed shook his head.
There was no shot. The report you
heard was the breaking of the limb as
it gave away. For a second l thought,
myself, that it was shot"

INJURED Davis drowsily. I've had ex-

ing to the entreaties of the girl that he

have q comfortable bed, he at last
went into the room and throwing off
his outer garments threw himself up

by sudden thought she turned to the
Book of Micah and again read:
"A mans enemies are the men of his

Laying the book aside she rested
her cheek upon her hand and became
lost in thought. 1.-THE men of the

a deep sleep. Curling herself comfort

settled down to watch over him
through the night that she might be

Mention advertiing to the old
time farmer and he thinks Of large
display-type announcements more
or less extensively illustrated.
But modern farmers have found
scores OF ways by which they
can attract buyers for their pro-
ducts. The suggestions offered
herewith are designed particu-
larly for the farmer who is in a
position to supply given trade
Of goods in sufficient quantities
to meet a staple demand. Butter,
eggs, live and dressed poultry
dressed meat, home rendered lard,
sausage, fruit and vegetables are
among the commodities the real
sales of which can be bettered by
farm advertising.
There are many means Of di-
rect appeal to buyers which are
made particularly profitable by
travel. Today that farmer is in
deed remote which is not passed
the tremendous increase in auto
many times a week by town or
city motorists, the majority OF
whom would be a good customer
the farmer. Consequently he
must look we'll to the appearance
Of his place. Perhaps unsightly
features of which he is not con-
scious exist, but the passer-by,
keen to discern these signs Of
laxiness' hesitates to purchase at
such farm.
A bulletin board near the front
gate is a big asset if carefully
prepared. In addition to the
name of the farm or the farm
owner, it should state in large
simple type the kind Of produce
for sale and the prices. Some OF
the farmers have found supple
mentary notices, placed at pro-
per distance on either side of the
main bulletin board, very valu-
able in calling attention to the
latter.
There are arious ways the
farm name may be displaeyd to
the owners financial advantage.
Any farm will be better remem-
bered by passing strangers if its
name appears in neat letters over
or beside the main entrance. The
farmer who possesses an auto
truck-and his name is legion
these days-is over looking a
splendid advertising opportunity

SILVER WILL SOAR

World appetite for silver can
not be satisfied. The metal is
demanded by Europe and Asia
with equal insistence.
The bazaars of India are con-
tinuously laundering for it; the
Chinese appetite is Unsuitable; and
Great Britain. former monetary
dictator of the world, with her
back to the financial wall. is now
securing the earth for it.
Silver has got to be got some
where. 1t has got to be got in
America. Most of it has got to
be got in Nevada.
In this emergency the eyes of
the world are turned toward Ne
vada.
This accounts for the recent
boom in Nevada silver properties.
Most Of the boom is legitimate ;
some of it may not be. There are
silver mines and silver prospects
and silver hopes. The hopes
hang onto the tails of the pros
pectors and the prospects ride in
on the success of the mines.
But the boom in the real mines
has scarcely begun. 1t is expect
ed to rival, if not surpass, the
Texas oil boom, is related by a
San Francisco banker. That the
potentially wealthy state of Ne
vada is preparing for such a boom
is indicated by the unprecedent-
ed bursts of activity in oil fields.

The Farmer, too, Realizes
1T Pays to Advertise Z

| if he does not have the name o.
his farm and his special products
lettered on the side of his vehicle
Then every trip to town is a re-
hinder to hundreds, perahps
thousands, of people that the
owner is still ION the map" One
dairy farmer who built up very
large retail trade not only carried
on his vehicles the name Of his
farm, but made all his trucks and
wagons more distinctive by paint
ing them a dark yellow.
Printed letterheads are real
asset to the farmer who is selling
trade.
Many farmers who handle con-
siderable produce find it profit
able to use distinctive printed
wrappers. Another simple means
Of advertising is neatly gmmed
labels for use on the outside of
packages sent by parcel post or
express.
Advertisements in local papers
should be short and should give
description of the goods with
the prices and the name and adj
dress of the person advertising.
The person who advertises
must offer product that is want
ed by the persons who read the
paper at the time the product is
advertised, in the places where the
the paper has circulation. In
other words, he must know what
to advertise, and where to adver-
tise. The following are suggest
ed forms for parcel post classified
advertising:
Fresh eggs direct from the
farm Send--for three dozen
delivered by parcel post, prepaid.
Fair View Farm, Blank, Va.
Butter direct from the dairy.
Fresh, clean and sweet. Send
for two pounds, delivered post
paid by parcel post. Fair View
Farm, Blank, Va
Typical of the small number of
farmers who have entered the
field OF national advertising is one
in middle-western State, who
has built up countrywide trade
in his special brand Of homemade
sausage by using the advertising
columns OF publications of nation
al circulation, supplemented by
cleverly prepared phamphlets and
the use of distinctive wrappers.

BIG DEAL IN THE
SIMON DISTRICT

Another big deal i'll Simon dis
trict properties has just been COM
pleted, which will mean greatly
increased activity i'll mining cir
cles when plans now being forlnu-
lated are put into operation.
Mention was made about a
month ago OF the acquisition Of
the Norman Silver Mining COM
panv by p Simon Of the Simon
Silver Lead company, and now
in order to round out the hold
ings, and to operate both proper
ties more economically, the ST.
mon Pagan Mines company and
the Norman Silver Mining Com
pany have been consolidated UNI
der the title of the Pagan Con-
solidated Silver Mines company
with a combined capital stock of
OOO,OOOshares.
The officers of the new COM
pany are President, P. A. Simon,
vice-president, E. S. Chafey; sec
rotary and treasurer, B. w. Fac
hau; board of directors. P. A.
Simon, E. S. Chafey, B. w. Fac
hau, f. S. milford and Frank
M. Manson.
These properties are located
in the Simon district a short dis
lance from the Simon Silver Lead
mine, and consist Of approximate
ly of six claims each, having a
common endline, making the long
axis of the combined properties
| a little over mile long in a near
y north and south direction. Elk
tensive development work has
been done on both the Pagan and
the Norman, the Pagan having
been a shipper Of ore this sea-
son, and with the combined re-
sources of the two properties it
is confidently predicted that big
mine will be developed here.
]. O. Greenan, who has been
associated with both companies,
as well as with the Simon Silver
Lead company has been placed in
charge Of the Pagan Consolidated
as superintendent, and is prepar-5 /.
ing an aggressive campaign of de-
velopment.
The Pagan has been inspected
during the past few months by
such we'll known mining men as
r. w Royer, of Los Angeles;
DIR. Walter Harvey Reed, the emf
nent geologist; c. f. Van Bar
nevelde. director of the U. S.
Bureau of Mines experiment sta
ton at T,1scon Charles f. Knox,
w. c. Loring and ]. c. Weir of
New York. all of whom are
unanimous in predicting a great
future for the property.
The directors OF the two COM
panies, at meeting held last
week in Tonopah, agreed on the
details OF the consolidation, and
notices have been issued for the
stakeholder S meeting to be held
on November Is, 1910. for the
purpose Of ratilying the action OF
the directors. No opposition to
this action is expected, as the adj
vantages to both companies are
very obvious.
In this connection, new strike
! Of very high grade ore is reported
in the, west drift OF the Pagan
workings, samples of which are
freely spotted with native silver.

BATH HOUSE AT SEAT
OF HOT WATER FLOW

1t remained for Park Wheeler, the
proprietor of the Saltwater no.
tel and owner of a good sized
tract OF land in that community,
to develop a flow OF hot water in
the thermal belt to the east of us
that carries temperature of one
degree. in excess of the boiling
point which in this altitude is POS
degrees. This we'll was develop
ed by Mr.. Wheeler during late
days, heavy flow resulting at a
depth of 200 feet. Being about a
half mile south of the Kent wells,
the water of which is'slightly less
in temperature than that from the
Wheeler well, the indication is
presented that as wells are sunk
further south artesian water of in
creasing temperatures will be en-
cOuntered.
Mr.. Wheeler left for Reno
carrying with him samples of the
water that he will have analyzed
at the state university laboratory.
1t is his plan to build a natatori-
UNI at his hotel at once and make
a resort out of it where hot baths
can be secured by the residents
of this section. The new turn in
events presages much for the old
county seat and it is said that
Mr.. Wheeler, in conjunction with
former County Commissioner, G.
7. Cirac, will shortly place Still
water residence and business lots
on the market for the benefit of
investors who may see in Still
waters proximity to the oil
fields, its splendid agricultural
backing and hot water resources
virtues that is their minds will
combine to make of Saltwater a
rapidly growing community
