Insurance Drive Drawing To a
Close.

The Insurance Drive which is be-
ing staged amongst the ex-service
men and women of the states of Ill
lnols, Michigan and Wisconsin, to
enable them to reinstate and convert
their Government Insurance is draw
ing to close.
The drive has proven very success
full as the following figures will show
102 conversions; rs reinstatements;
S452,500 worth of insurance con-
verted; $454,0O0 worth of insurance
reinstated.
An outstanding feature of the drive
has been the cooperation secured
from various agencies. The Asso-
station of Commerce, realizing the
benefits of Government Insurance to
those entitled thereto, is cooperating
with the Veterans Bureau and has
issued a bulletin to the members of
that body who employ eX-service men
to bring the matter to the attention
Of every individual, if possible.
Large numbers of men have made
inquiry and many are both reinstat-
ing and covering the maximum
amount allowed, $4,000. EX-service
men who have been negligent in this
matter should reinstate NOW, and
thereby assure themselves, their fam
lilies and dependents the protection
and benefits by policy with the Gov
eminent.
Do not forget by converting now
you pay a smaller premium, you are
building up cash and loan value
your limited payment policy will
mature earlier and last but not least,
a year from now your disabilities
may prevent your reinstatement and
conversion of insurance.
Information can be secured from
the District Office, Ia E. Congress ST.,
Chicago, ILL.,, or any of the Sub-Dis-
trict Offices throughout the three
states.

July Humane Thought Humane
Fishing.
BY A. E. Frederick, State
Humane Officer.

''God created-every living crea-
ture. Genesis.
Even fish is the creature of God.
And though it's nervous system may
not be as finely developed as that of
higher animals yet it may suffer pain
Most of us love to fish. Humane
work in no wise precludes this sport
as inhumane. 1t, however, suggests
the thought that even fishing should
be made to conform as nearly as pos
sible to the general humane idea of
eliminating as much suffering as pos
sible. Fishing may be carried on in
humane way.
AS soon as caught, fish should be
killed by a block on the back of the
head with a stick or any hard instru-
ment. Artificial bait is likewise re-
commended. The live minnow and
frog pierced by the hook suffer UNI
told agony, while even the lowly
earth-worm is not without pain when
gored-its entire length. Both might
first be killed without in any wise in
juring their value as bait. Earth
worms may be killed instantly in
boiled water.
BY being humane in our sports a
splendid example will be set to the
youth whose joy is often found in
these diversions.

MINING ACTIVITY IN COUNTY SHOWS
 WONDERFUL INCREASE THIS WEEK

career in the mining business, MT. Dyer has been associated, both as manager and owner, with some of the famous mines of the United States. Among them the Boston and Montana mine at Butte City, the Mime Haley mine in Idaho, and the Hite, Draper, Argonaut and Muldoon mines on the famous Mother Lode of California. He has also of late taken over the Hotaling mining interests at Daytona nd Gold Hill California. MT. Dyer is now mapping out a campaign for the developments the Gold Chain property at depth.
 Nearby the Gold Chain property a two foot section of ore in the vein now being crosscut on the 200 it. level in the Adams workings, is reported to have an average value of better than one hundred dollars gold ton, The quartz shows considerable coarse gold and is a quartz replacement of calcite in the granite. The same vein, where opened on the 100 it. level, is eighty-five feet wide.
 At the Katherine Extension work ings the south crosscut on the 250 it. level is nearing contact with the northeast continuation of the bonanza K a t herine vein. Superintendent Abodie expects to cut the vein early in February. To the north of the shaft the continuation of the Treasure Vault vein was completely crosscut about ten days ago and is showing a breadth of sixty feet. The manage ment of the Treasure Vault Company is preparing to sink deep shaft and drive along the course of this vein to it's intersection with the Katherine vein, where the geological conditions indicate that large and valuable ore body will be found.
 At the Katherine-Rand property an open cut located about 150 fit. south of the shaft has opened ore that is a replica of the surface ore found on the Katherine property. Values, as at the Katherine, range from two to five dollars ton.

 IN WILDERNESS

John L. Connolly met with a hor- rible death some distance west of the Grand Gulch mine, about the 22nd of December last, his mutilated body be- ing found by his brother, Charles Con- nelly, about a week later. Just how the poor fellow met his death will pos sibly never be known. He had left the Grand Gulch mine on the Fist of Dec ember with team and load of cedar posts. His camp was found in a can yon six miles from the mine, where a heavy storm had compelled him to leave the road. His brother started forSt. Thomas, Nevada, about week later and found his wagon and camp. Following the trail of the horses he came upon the body of his brother terribly mutilated by wild animals. It was his surmise that the brother fol- lowing the trail of the horses had fal- len upon rock, killing him almost in- simultaneously and that coyotes and other wild animals had devoured the remains. Charles Connolly is well known in this county, having lived at Chloride many years ago. The broth CT leaves wife and four small child ren at St. Thomas.

JACK LITTLE IN SERIOUS
 ACCIDENT LAST TUESDAY

Jack Lytle is lying in a serious condition at Mrs. Olander's hospital, following an accident sustained while stepping off of the running board of machine on south Fourth Street, last Tuesday.
 MT. Lytle was returning from a trip to Oatman where he had gone in con- nection with his work with the Thompson-Dudley Company, wishing to get out had stepped down while the car was still moving, but which was being slowed up by Stewart Thompson who was driving. When he saw that MT. Lytle was going to jump, Stewart called him to wait until the machine stopped, but it was too late. He slipped or stumbled as he left the running board and pitched forward on his head. Dr. Tafle was immediately summoned and after the unfortunate mans breathing had been restored, by the moving backward and forward of his arms, he was taken to Mrs. Olander's hospital where he lay for nearly 36 hours in an unconscious con dition. He now comes out of his un- consciousness at intervals and then lapses back. It is thought there is a pressure on his brain and that it will be matter of two or three months before he is back to his normal con- dition.
