DONKEY CREDITED
WITH DISCOVERY
TWO Sill YER MINES

Kellogg's Jack. a diminutive but
thoroughbred jackass, was RESPONSE
bic for the discovery a few decades
ago of two silver mines in the CoueT
d'Alene mountains of northern Ida
no that were worth $4,0OO,OO0.
The story is that the Jack, .
whose head was nearly as large as
its body, was the pack animal for
n. S. Kellogg, Phil O'Rourke and
Con Sullivan when the trio went
prospecting up creek near the Null
Ian road, one of the first military
routes through Idaho.
One night when the small party
made camp they turned the ami
NAL loose to Craze. In the morn
ing it was not in sight, but the trail
was found easily. Kellogg and his
partners followed it.
Finally they emerged into a com
paratively clear canyon and spotted
the Jack" on a hillside. 1t seemed
to be on a point like a dog. Adj
vancing they said they saw the an
imal gazing intently at a broad
splash of mineralized rock, which
proved to be a slab of rich galena.

SCIENCE DISCOVERS
new MYSTERY METAL

Iron. nickel, cobalt and mangan-
csc are the ingredients of new
mystery metal" which has rapid
ly achieved widespread use because
it expands under heat at approx
mately the same rate as glass and
is a good, cheap conductor Of cleo
trical power.
Ordinarily, when two metals are
mixed, the ratio of their individual
expansion can be determined. Cop
per and zinc hold to this rule. But
with iron and nickel two of the
principal ingredients of the new
metal, the rule is off With this
mixture. almost anything can hap
pen BY juggling the proportions
of the two, it is possible to double
their expansion coefficient or drop
it almost to zero.
The new metal works behind the
scenes in obscure connections of
vacuum tubes, bringing greater
perfection to the relative vacuum,
multiplying the power of transmit
ter tubes by ten and improving
metal tubes in radio receiving sets.
1t finds additional uses in gas and
water meters and in the power
systems Of steel mills and railways.

Another operation is being carried

The dragline dredge has definite
