NEARBY NOTES

Twenty thousand tons of coal arc
being stored in the Illinois Central
division yards at Freeport for use by
locomotives drawing trains out Of
Freeport. Enormous quantities of
coal are used yearly by the railroad,
and it is necessary to distribute coal
every few months. Ten thousand
tons are also stored at Amboy. The
coal is dumped on the ground near
the tracks and is loaded mechanically
on the engine tenders. Twenty thous-
and tons of coal would supply an or
binary householder for many winters,
but its duration is only few months
when the huge Illinois Central loco
motives begin to consume it.

The Blackjack mine near Galena,
had a number of visitors Sunday and
they found much of interest at the big
plant which is again being put n
shape to bring up treasures of the
earth from deep underground Mon
ster twin pumps are at work pumping
1000 gallons gallons of water per
minute from the mine. It is believed
the pumps are now battling about S.
feet of water which is being lowered
an inch an hour. If the present good
fortune continues and no stoppages
occur it is estimated the mine will be
unWatered in ten days or two weeks
although some old miners are willing
to wager it will take nearly six weeks
to complete the task. A crew of car
penters are making good progress on
the new mill, while other wOrkmen
are employed in repairing cars and
rebuilding the tracks, etc. The ma
chine shop, miners, change house and
other buildings are being fixed up
preparatory to the opening Of the
mine.-GaZette.
The bodies of Gen. Frank Marshall
and Lieut. Chas. Weber, Z. S. army
aviators, who left San Diego, Calf,
December 7, on a flight to Tucson,
Ari., were found in a lonely spot ol
Cuyamaca Mountain, Calf, with the
wrecked remains of their flying ma
chine nearby. Search for the bodies
was carried on continuously for five
months by the war department, each
section of the flight being carefully
canvassed. Gen. Marshall, veteran
of the Sioux Indian war, Chinese Re-
lief expedition and Philippine insur-
rection was a native Of Darlington,
Wis.
Donald Cooper, of Hanover, young
son of Arthur G. Cooper, met with a
painful accident Monday, while play
ing with other children at the Weston
school ground, says the Journal.
Young Jimmie Trousdale in swinging
a baseball bat to the rear, struck the
Cooper boy square in the mouth, one
of the upper front teeth was knocked
out and one of the lower ones was
broken off in the middle. The wonder
is that the jaw was not broken, al
thought it shows evidence of mighty
hard knock. The little fellow showed
grit by sticking to school till noon
time before reporting to his parcnts.

competent from a business stand
point. However, this condition has
not always obtained, but now in

problems and to maintain the present
high standard of adequate insurance

shaft was to be sunk on the Porphyry
property and it was to be 16X24, the
largest in the Southwest, with an
abnormally large headframe and
hoisting equipment, it was not sur
prising, for the Inspiration is the
largest producer of copper in the
Southwest.
The company entered the ranks as
a producer in 1915 and in less than
year following was producing at
the rate of one hundred twenty mil
lion pounds of copper per annum.
The mines lie in the naturalization
known as the famous Pinal copper
schist belt, which is probably destin-
ed to be heard from oftener in the
next few years than any other cop
per producing ground in the United
States. 1t is this copper ground
which has given to the world the Old
Dominion, Arizona Commercial,
Miami, Inspiration, Ray Consolidated,
Gibson, and score of other mines
and prospects.
The property of the Inspiration
Consolidated was taken under the
managerial wing of Thomas H.
O'Brien in July 1920, and while opera
tions were restricted during the de-
preston in the copper industry, a
program of expansion, new develop
ment and construction was planned
and put into execution. The proper
ty of the Porphyry Copper and Por-
phyry Consolidated was purchased,
the monster Porphry shaft was sunk,
the Inspiration railroad was extended
1 1-3 miles to connect up with the
Porphyhy shaft, and the development
of the Keystone and Live Oak divi-
sions, which are to be operated
through the new shaft, has been ad-
vanced. These are some of the big
features of a program of progress

the triple Threat"
Diamond Performer

New York, Jan. IS. - Having
spent few months reading about
the triple threat" football player
and seeing him IN the flesh OCCASION
ally-we will soon be hearing of and
looking at the triple threat" base
ball player.
1t is not las in triple threat
football, that Jack Bentley, new
New York Giant from Baltimore,
can run. throw and kick. that he has
the title of triple threat baseball
player conferred on him. Every ball
player can run, throw and kick.
It's because Bentley can do three
very important jobs very well -
pitch, play first base and bat.
he was the leading pitcher OF the
International League, winning II
ont of IS starts-and pitching is
what he is going to do for the Giants.
When not twirling for Baltimore,
Bentley regularly played first base
and hit 'em far, wide and often. He
hatted away yonder over 300. He
doubtless will figure as a pinch
hitter for McGraw now and then.

There is an end to the career OF every
star player in baseball.
No matter how great a performer a
player may be, there comes time when
he finds the pase is too fast. For ex-
ample, consider Hans Wagner, Larry
Lajoie and q host of others.
Rumor has it that Hankk Gowdy,
one of the most spectacular figures in
major league baseball, is about to skid
to the minors. 1t is said the Boston
club intends to dispose of GOwdy.
Hank GOwdy burst into the sporting
spotlight in 1914 with a vengeance and
held it ever since. GOwdy is one of the
most popular players that ever graced
the National League. If it it true that
Owdy is to pass out, the National
League will lose a great character.
Hank Gowdy was a raw recruit when
he joined the Giants in 1910. He didn't
make much of an impression on Nc
Graw and when the opportunity came
to arrange a trade with Boston for
Charley Hcrzog, Gowdy was showed
along in company with Bridwell and d
bundle of cash.
Hank didn't tarry long IN Boston
He was released to Buffalo in 1913, He
had promise but lacked experience and
polish.
Gowdy came fast at Buffalo. After

and won undying fame in one season

Capt. Frank Winch Advises
First Of All to Keep Cool;
Supplies a Little Sugges-
ton for Making a Fire
Without a Match.
BY CAPT. FRANK WINCH.


Do you recall the case of the Canad-
ian doctor who was lost for two weeks,
and nearly starved to death for lack of
a match, yet he shot a partridge, was
entirely well, had his Winchester and
plenty of cartridges. There's a lesson
here. Do not scott at the idea of get
ting lost. Ask any experienced out
doorsman and he will tell you a tale of
losing his way at one time or another,
Hardly a season passes but grim nature
takes its toll of one or more who sue
cumb to the imaginary terrors of losing
his way in the woods. Imagination
plays a great part.
The fear of being lost Is largely a
mental condition. Some men thrash
ahead-work themselves into a frenzy
and delirium of fear, become exhausted
and lay down to die. Unless one is out
Of ammunition or matches, and he
shouldn't be, or have the misfortune to
break a leg, or be seriously wounded,
there's nothing TO fear about getting
lost. Forget your calendar, days mean
nothing if you are well and even hun
CRY, one place is as good as another and
with a fellows wits about him, he'll
come out somewhere-and that place
is as good as any other.
The one life or death injunction Is to
keep cool, and don't worry. Nothing
will harm you. The odd noises that you
hear at night in the woods are mostly
those from curious little animals who
are more frightened than you.
As soon as you realize that you are
lost, sit down, load up the jimmy pipe,
shoot out the smoke and between puffs
sirg or whistle to yourself. or better
yet, do a little mOnologue. Then il it's
late in the afternoon, gather up enough
wood for the night fire. make lean-to
of browse. and a bed of bOughs or dry
leaves. Keep the fire going-and the
pipe. Sleep viii come sooner or later
then sunrise, and with the break of day
the thoughts are clearer than the day
before. Try to mentally retrace your
steps, look about you TO finf something
that looks familiar, climb to the top Of
a knoll. or shin up n high tree to get
your bearings. If still out of luck, take
up a pitch knot, fasten it to the tree
top and light it. The smoke may at
tract one of your companions. II the
thing looks hopeless and you cant make
