days, was installed on the property. In fact, the first air drills in the state were installed on this property some thirty years ago, the compressor be- ing run by steam power. A mill site was purchased and all indications pointed toward the development of one of the biggest mines in the state. The work continued until MT. Mackay died, and in some way the, property passed into the hands of his secretary, Richard V. Dey. Shortly after this the camp was closed and the work shut down.
 Since that time the property has been leased several times and has been in litigation several times Some of the leasing companies shipped large amounts of ore, but none had the financial backing to develop the mine until the Aravaipa Leasing con- pany took the mine over a year ago.
 Dr. Wightman, Dr. Ruff and Guit Charlson were among the leasers.
 The Aravaipa Leasing company spent about $25O,OOO in development work on the minet and made no eff fort to ship ore. They pumped the water out of the old shaft, which had been there for over 20 years; did a lot of diamond drill work, and kept a force of between sixty and hun dred men on the job all the time. The company had a well equipped assay office on the ground and employed two engineers. What was shown in the diamond drill holes, of course, no one knows except those in charge, but it is evident that the showing was good or the company would not have paid million dollars for the prop erty.
 Already this mine adds consider able to the assessed valuation of the county and the development that is coming will make this one of the rich est counties in the state.
 The mine is located in a rich coun. try. This has been demonstrated by the fact that all the small properties in that district have always paid big returns.

WHY
It Is Dangerous to Carry
 Matches Into Garage

The West Virginia miner who blew himself and family to pieces and tore out one end of his home when he carelessly threw some damp powder into his fireplace to see if 1t was any good was not much more of fool than the man who gropes around his garage. with matches. One feels just as familiar with the matches as the other did with the powder, but fire and explosives are a bad combination under any circumstances. You may think you know how to handle both without danger, but as soon as you mix carelessness with them the re- suits are almost sure to be fatal.
 The motorist has no more right to carry lighted matches in his garage than he would in powder mill. The destructive potentialities of both are about the same and under the right conditions the open flame is as dan gerous in one place as the other. If your garage Is not wired for electric lights, the first investment you should make is to put them in. They are more important than keeping the garage warm in winter, because the latter will merely do the car harm, whereas lack of electric lights will cause you to use matches and that is pretty sure to mean bodily harm to yourself and the rest of the family; perhaps not today or tomorrow, per haps the very next time you do It. At no time is the danger greater than in winter when the garage is kept snugly closed and the dangerous vapors of gasoline and kerosene have no chance to escape harmlessly into the great outdoors.
 But, if you are contemplating sui eide, this will no doubt prove valu- able, hints Motor Life Magazine, which aims to be helpful in every way possible.

The Last Laugh

He was a very young officer, who looked as if he should still be wearing knee brooches.
 One day, when his company was up for inspection at the training-camp, one of the men remarked in a tone of deep sarcasm, "And little child shall lead them"
 "The man who said that, step for ward," was the immediate command. The entire company stepped out and repeated the quotation.
 The lieutenant looked up and down the line.
 "Dismissed," he announced shortly.
 The men thought they had gotten the better of him, but not for long, for that night at retreat when the orders for the following day were read, they heard, "There will be a twenty-five mile hike tomorrow with full equip ment, and little child shall lead them -on a damned good horse." s,....

FLYING SCHOOL
 AT REDWOOD

FlyingFis destined to become the popular outdoor and indoor sport, ac- cording to Walter T. Varney, local aviation expert and agent for the Lincoln Standard and Bristol Air planes. Vamey has just taken over the aviation field at Redwood City and has organized a flying school
 Contrary to the general belief it does not take six months or even two months to learn to fly. As a matter of fact ten minutes is all that is nec- essary for the rankest novice to be ample to manipulate an air plane once it is off the ground In two weeks, according to Varney, the veriest mo- vice should be able to fly by him. self. If the prospective flyer is not a "solo", within a month his case will be considered hopeless and he will no longer be retained as a student in the class.
 Society is showing a keen interest in the new Varney Flying School and number of the debutantes of the Burlingame Set have made inuuires regarding entrance in the class.
 Varney announcesc that Gordon B. Ferrie will be in charge of the Red wood School and that registration in the initial class will be open at once.
 In addition to the flying school the Redwood Field promises, to be the principle flying field along the coast. Vamey has made arrangements to make this the assembling place for both the Lincoln Standard and the Bristol Planes.

PROBLEM OF GOOD HIGHWAYS
Becoming One of Increasing Impor- tance Because of Changes in
 Methods of Travel.

The road problem of the country Is becoming one of ever-increasing impor- tance, largely because of the changes in methods of travel which enable the city man to reach farther and farther into the country district He does this first from business or economic standpoint, and, second, from a pleas ure-seeking standpoint. In an exactly similar manner, the farmer is getting fully aroused to the importance of better and better roads. They enable him to get to the city markets with his produce, whether that produce may be something requiring frequent trips, such as milk to a creamery, gar den truck to market, or staple prod ucts to be hauled in their proper sea son. The better the roads, the cheap CT he can haul his produce and the quicker he can do so, resulting in a saving of time, and the better choice he has of market conditions.
