THE ADVENTURES OF JANE
(By Ruth ICOstner)

Chapter Injecting MIR. Bear
The morning dawned bright and
clear; old Mr.. Sun was very slowly
ascending the distant mountains. He
finally reached the top, then he shone
into James bedroom and walked her.
She jumped out of bed and dressed
very quickly. Then she went down
stairs and told her mother she was
going for her morning walk, as usual.
''Wen, run along" answered her
mother. And she did.
She went outside and ran along the
Path which lead to the mountains.
She very soon reached the woods
which bordered the base of the noun
tains. Now Jane had never ventured
into these woods before. Well, she
went on and on. She reached the
river in a fw minutes and went to the
spot where she had left her canoe the
day before. And sure enough it was
there. Jane got in and went skim
ming down the river. She went
around the bend, then she turned
around and went back to the boat
landing. She got out and started
home. But she had the wrong road.
She startedsto go around a sharp bend
in the road, and what should she meet
but big black bar! She started run
ming when she met the bear and had
mt stopped yet.
In the meantime her mother was
Z
about Jane going for her walk She
went upstairs to wake her but she
was not there. She went to her hus-
bands room and told him. 'She has
gone for her walk, I suppose" he
answered. ooh! that's right, but she
has been gone an hour. She went at
700 and it is 500 now; please go and
try to find her" He got up and
went over to his neighbours and got
him, then they went to find Jane.
While all this was happening, Jane
had found the right road and was run
ming with all her might towards home.
She was soon out of breath and had
stopped to rest. The bear had been
gaining on her but she was not con-
scious of it. She looked back and
saw it coming very slowly; it was
about fifty yards from her. She was
so frightened she did not move but
sat erfectly still. The bear came on
headed straight for her. When it
was a very short distance from her
she looked the opposite direction and
saw two men coming at distance of
seventy-five yards from her.

They had been walking but when
they saw her they ran very fast. By
this time the bear was about fifty
feet from her. It quickened dts pace.
The men saw the bear and made a
leap for Jane but did not reach her.
Jane saw it was her father. Father, -
she cried, "save me, be quick" The
bear reached her and raised its paw
to strike.

COUNTY FARM BUREAU NOTES
(To be cOntinued.)


John Brummit is having his herd
of cattle tested this week for Tuber-
culosis. We are glad to have John
join the ranks and hope many more
viii follow soon.
Frank Urbert, 10. G. Cochran, P. J.
Deane, and John O'Loughlin are four
of the men who are making a fight on
the grasshoppers at this time. Every
hopper that is killed now will mean
prevention of 3O-15O eggs being laid.
The boys of the clubs are getting
anxious to begin stock judging. It
will be one real fight as to who will
get to go to Topeka, this fall. The
boys who work the hardest and make
the best development will go. The
club camp will be held last week of
August, this year.
Two men have asked for demon
stration in poultry culling this fall.
Let's make this a clean campaign and
sell all the non-layers. Your request
should be in soon for this demonstra-
ton as we will not Gull after October
1 and we will be busy with County
and State Fairs during most of Sep
TENDER. There is a reason to do
everything and poultry culling viii
be here IN August, so get in your re-
quest to the County Agent at once
Beware of commercial cullers trav-
cling over the county. A number Of
fellows are making the practice of
culling your flock and buying what
they tell you are culls and they take
the good hens. Learn how to do this
yourself so you won't lose your best
hens.
Carl Kraus is blowing these days
and nights. He is using a Holt Cater
pillar tractor and expects to plow
eighty acres a day. He runs both
day and night shifts.

UNDER-INFLATION RUINS TIRES

DIFFERENTIATION RUINS TIRES
The most common danger that be-
falls a tire in service is undermine
ton, say the makers of Revere tires.
Proper imitation is to the life of a
pneumatic tire what proper food is to
the life of living being. Eighty per
cent. of the failures in tires can be
traced to under-infation.
Briefly, the results of undermine
ton are early separation in all parts
OF the hire, rim cutting, abnormal
development of FRACTIONAL heat, great
er fuel consumption, rupturing of
the fabric, splitting of tread, and alb
normal strain throughout the tire.

LucKYBoY COMING BACK"

The following from the Goldficld|
News, much of which is ancient his
tory, will be read with interest by|
those interested III our mining indus
try: ~
Ore that is almost solid silver was
brought here by Judge Emmett
Walsh OH his return from Hawthorne
recently. The rich specimens came
from the Luckyboy mine, near Haw-
thorne, now being operated by John
H. Miller and associates. The ore is
in seams one to two inches wide and
these seams form face two feet
wide of ore of an average value of
$500 per ton. according to Miller.
The Luckyboy is one Of Nevada's
famous mines. 1t is in the, noun
talis a few miles west of Hawthorne.
From it there has been produced
S2c00,OOO in high-grade silver-lead. ore
to depth OF zoo feet. 1t was dis
covered in 1907 and shortly. there
after c. L. Hubbard. i. OF Chicago.
cleaned up million dollars out of
lease. Goldfield men obtained
block adjoining that Of Hubbard
and they also cleaned up big. Tasker
L. Oddie. now United States Sena-
tor from Nevada. was among the
lessecs at that time, but only two
large producers were developed, the
Hubbard and the Alamo.
The Hubbard shaft went below the
water level at 700 feet and the lessee
was unable to make progress below
this depth. On the expiration of the
leases the Lucky Boy Consolidated
Mines Company. i'll which John Fl.
Miller and Jesse Knight. of Salt Lake
had large holdings. drove into the
mountain 7C00-foot drainage tunnel.
This tunnel was connected with the
Hubbard shaft and mining below the
water level was done with success,
but the mine was eventually turned
over to lessccS, including Ed Heller.
who found in it 1907 OH grubstake
from Miller. These lessees paid the
company about $4,000 in royalties
before they stopped work.

ACTIVITY AT LUcKYBoY

| Recently. with electricity available
from the Mineral County power line,
lit was decided to resume work and
| for the first time make a thorough
search for ore on the tunnel level In
! the days Of the big leases the ore was
! found on either wall and for this
reason the tunnel level is considered
to provide great field for cross
cutting the ore-bearing limestone form
alton. 1t is understood that the rich
| ore found recently is in winze from
the tunnel. and that an electric hoist
and pump are to be used at the winze
i'll further work to prospect the high
in the tunnel may be realized from
/, the fact that the work is being done
at a depth of 400 feet from the sur
face. or about 500 feet below the bot
tom of the Hubbard shaft The fact
that the formation is lime stone. the
mother of all great silver-lead mines.
adds interest to the situation.
1t is expected that Miller, who is
in direct charge, will have the mine
OH paying basis within another
month. The company levied two as
sessmcnts, the last in September, 1912.

stage, another illustration of the value

During the year 1921, 81 persons
were killed and 283 injured in grade
