CLIFF BARS WAY TO "vllE
Of GOLD" IN CALIFORNIA
Prospecting Miner Finds Verdant
Tract High Up in the Salmon
River Mountains.

A verdant valley of approximately
$40 acres has been discovered high up
in the Salmon River mountains In Sis
k1you county near the Trinity county
border IN California. 1t is almost GER
tain no human feet have trod the
meadow tract.
Several attempts have been made to
reach the valley in the last few weeks,
but all have failed. The mountain
valley is walled in by jagged granite
rocks Of such precipitous dimensions
that no one can scale them with ordi-
nary appliances.
A tiny creek meanders through the
valley and finds It's exit in a waterfall
300 feet high over a precipice as
straight up and down as a stone wall.
A Trinity county miner found gold
all along the creek, clear up to the
precipice that barred his way. This
miner, Gordon Abrams, climbed a peak
and looked owe into the valley through
a spyglass. He saw a gray streak cut
ting across 1t. He believes this Is a
quartz ledge, possibly the mother lode
Of the gold he found in the placer
digging below.
Abrams is almost certain, he says,
has never entered the valley and
that no one Is likely to enter 1t soon.

Interesting HISTORY
OF FORD AUTO PRICES

With a reduction of $50 each on
the list price OF all models, the Ford
Motor company has automatically
saved motor a buyers for the COM
ing veal $62,500, 900, for this is the
amount represented by this cut
spread over a total production of ap-
proximately 1,25O,OOOs cars which will
be the output of this great manufac-
turing company the next twelve
months.
The new prices are: Roadster,
1926; touring, $298; coupe, $3.50; Sc
dan, $685., these prices being F. o.
B. Detroit and not including cleo
trio starter nor demountable rims on
the roadster and touring models,
this, extra equipment being $40 for
the starter and $25 for the rims.
A review in the trend of Ford pri-
ces shows a steady decline during
the eighteen years in which the mo-
del T has been built, there being
but one upward swing which came
in 1918 and which held until 1920,
when the present downward move
ment started.
In it's first year the car which is
now famous sold for $4,000, dropping
to $1,000 in the following year, at
which price it remained until 1908
when it again dropped to $3.50,
climbing to $3.50 in 1910 but drop
ping quickly back to $3.50. In 1914
the touring car sold for $3.50 and
this year the sedan made its appear

Sterilizinu Instruments.

After trying many plans, believe
that the best way to sterilize delicate
cutting instruments is to lay them in
pure carbolic acid for ten minutes, then
rinse them off in sterile water, place
them in 95 per. cent alcohol for Is
minutes, and finally lay them in a tray
Of sterile water, writes DR. Edwin B.
Miller, assistant professor of opthal-
mology in the University of Pennsyl-
vania in an article in the New York
Medical Journal. In the bottom of each
tray there should be sterile gauze
pad. They are then laid out on a
table covered with sterile sheet in
the order in which they are to be used
In the operation. This saves confusion
and aids the assistant to pick up quick
ly the needed instrument. They are
then covered with sterile towel until
the surgeon is ready to use them.

Fuses Prevent Fires.

When an electric current flows
through wire it makes the wire
warm, explains Popular Science. Diff
ferent materials resist the flow to diff
ferent extents and are accordingly
heated to different degrees. Fuse wire
is made Of an alloy containing large
proportion Of lead, which gets very
warm when large currents pass
through it. Furthermore, since this
alloy melts easily, the current, if large
enough, may cause the fuse wire to
melt.
Wherever current is being consumed
in the house or factory, piece Of fuse
wire is put somewhere in the circuit.
If through accident or design too much
current should be used, the fuse wire
will melt, or, as is usually described,
"blow," and stop the flow of current
before the copper wire inside the walls
can heat up and set fire to the house.
