GaMilinc for KverylHMly.
Tuesday suppressed excitement
throbbed In the breast of overy owner
of a gus wagon, from the one-lung
llivver on up to the big twin six,
when the word was passed around
that a tank car of gasoline had ar
rived for the Copeland and Field
houso companies.
Tho car was brought In from the
main line to the track on Columbia,
street and the rush for. the precious
fluid started. Almost anything thai
would hold gasoline. Including the
family teakettle, was pressed into
sorvide. Auto tanks were quickly
filled and cans were likewise filled
aud loaded into' the car for emerg
ency. Some of the boys are said to
have hurriedly emptied their moon
shine and had the bottles filled with
gas. but the Mist is inclined to dis
credit this part of the story.
for once .anyway St. Helens waa
surfeited with gasoline and no limit
was placed on the amount each In
dividual might buy. He could go tbe
limit of bis bank account or Docket
book. .
Thia is a car lone delayed In tran

Discovery of Iron ore In Columbia
county is creating more than passing
interest and development work al
ready done points to the early erec
tion of a reduction plant.
Outside Capital has Intermit. it
self to the extent of Duttinir nrnaruu.-
tors In the field and these men have
ueen working along m a quiet way
i. wuia weens in prospect work. v
What they have really discovered
however, Is ro far carefully conceal
ed under their hats.
The facts remain that large bodies
of "bog" Iron ore hive been discov
ered and If It can be worked at a
profit it will certainly be to Columbia
county's advantage. There 1. ..ih
I'o bo an area of the stuff almost nn-
nmiiea in quantity and if the quality
Is there another Industry of value is
added to our county.
Moro or less quartz lecations hare
been filed in the county clerk's of
fice In the past two months, but the
climax of location filings waa made
last Tuesday when 126 notices of
mcauon wero placed on file by Hat
tie B. Lawrence on behalf of 126 dif
ferent persons. And It is not a spasm
of excitement by residents of the
bounty rushing into the mining game,
as the nam is on all of the notices
filed are new to this county and with
a possible few exceptions are all out
siders msofar as being residents of
the county.
Approximately 2526 r.cres are cor.
ered by the notices filed in the clerk's
office and the -filing fees amounted
to $138.70, the largest day's busi
ness alcng this line Clerk Hunt has
hadin many months. A claim cov
ers a fraction over twenty acres.
