Il Webster City, Aug. 4.-With an
irate. farmer clingIng to the tail of
their airplane until the machine
started to leave the ground, Pilots
Harold Near, Of this city. and II. e.
Davidson. Of Fort Dodge, escaped
from temporary landing field at
Clarion amid shouts I of appla use
from crowd Of fifty people who
had gathered about them. The farm
err sought to hold them up" so they
fclaim, for the use OF his field, and
they simply made off with him
hanging to the machine The crowd
applauded the act of the airmen. The
act SO pleased the crowd that the
contract with another company to
furnish flying stunts at the Wright
county fair at Clarion was cancelled
Near.
Near and Davidson had gone to
Clarion to carry passengers for the
lday. They alighted in q field near
/ the town and crowd gathered at
Eonce. The pilot usually goes to the
farm house and arranges for the
field before taking up passengers,
but the crowd was SO insistent on
riding in the plane that the men
began taking passengers, planning to
see the farmer later.
I Farmer Justly Indignant.
They had carried eight passengers
when he appeared on the scene and
notified them that it would cost
them goodiy sum to use his field
and that payment would have to be
made before either the men or the
plane left the ground. A crowd Of
fifty people gathered about. Both
pilots served in the war. They sought
to mollify the irate farmer by offer
ing a fair sum for the use of his
field but the latter was greedy and
even the crowd turned against him.
He was a young man and the pilots
good naturedly "kidded" him because
he did not serve in the war.
Rides On Tail of Machine.
Pilot Near was sitting in the ma
chine, Davidson was standing near
SAAS
side of the machine. After the argu-
ment had gone for some time, David
son pushed the farmer aside, hoped
partially in and Near started the
machine The farmer grasped David
son by the leg and, as the machine
sped. along the ground, the farmer
hung on Finally he lost his hold,
but grabbed the tail of the machine
and clambered partially on it. The
machine by this time was hitting a
pretty good rate of speed and soon
began to slowly rise from the ground.
1t was then that Mr.. Farmer decided
tail riding was no sport for novice
and he dropped off, the crowd cheer
ing, as the plane rose into the air.
1t developed that at the CLARION
fair last year a pilot used this same

padlocked log cnain around the

Crosscut Should Reach the Vein in
About Thirty Days.
Patrick Brady, manager of the Bra
dy Development company. states that
the crosscut that is being run to the
Rose Olympia vein has been advanc-
ed 1175 feet and at the present rate
he expects to cut the vein in about 80
days The crosscut is an extension
from the Headlight tunnel which is
1900 feet in length, making the total
distance now underground practically
POO feet The vein will be cut at a
depth of about 1900 feet, and in view
of the showing of ore in the Rose
shaft, the outlook is regarded highly
favorable for a body of commercial
ore. The Brady Development COM

IDAHO MINES LEASING

ON OLD BLACK BEAR, PART
OF FRISCO.

The Idaho Mines Leasing company
of which James Bond is president and
w j. Stratton secretary has a lease
on a large block of ground extending
from No tunnel of the old Black
Bear mine, now part of the Frisco
group, to the surface Investigation
and exploratory work for the past few
months have disclosed a large
amount of ore. much of which is zinc
for which there is no market at this
time. However, more recently the
leasers found much lead silver ore
free from zinc, both sulphide and
carbonate. and how to handle this
for shipment has been the problem.
It was finally decided to put in two
hand jigs which it was believed
could he made to pay handsomely
along with the crude ore hand sort

GRASSELLI CHEMICAL CO.
QUITS WESTERN FIELD
HIGH FREIGHT RATES FORCE 1T
TO TURN TO NEARER BY
MINES.

The damaging effect of the in
creased freight rates upon the zinc
mining industry in the west is strik
ingly emphasized by the action of the
Grasselli Chemical company. of Cleve-
land, in closing its Office in Salt Lake
City and announcing it's withdrawal
from the western field, the reason
given being that the advance in the
freight rates has practically made it
impossible for the company to pur-
chase western ores at figures that per
NIT fair profit to the producers. The
Grasselli company will turn its atten-
ton to the zinc mines of Missouri
Kansas and Oklahoma, from which
the haul is much shorter to its plants
and the handicap of excessive freight
rates is correspondingly less The
company has maintained an Office in
salt Lake City for upwards of 20
ye9rs and has been one of the largest
purchasers of western zinc ores. The
Salt Lake office was in charge of Geo.
Fl. Short who has frequently visited
this district in the interest of his com
pany. The withdrawal of the Gras-
SELF company from the west will OF
course have no effect upon existing
contracts The company is under
contract to take the zinc product or
the Interstate Callahan mines which
is understood to have quite "a long
period to run The Interstate Gala
han discontinued shipments upon re
quest of the Grasselli company which
is involved in a strike, but with that
settled it is not likely that the Gala
han would be in a hurry to resume
under present unfavorable conditions.

ton. The crosscut is also being eX-
tended to the second vein. the dis
