the mines and Johnny was often
with him there.
Johnny told me himself that the
first work he ever did in mining
was to carry the steel, back and
forth, from his father's -hop to
the miners. Like fishing and hunt
ing, Johnny wanted to excell in
mining. If his father had been
endowed enough with worldly
goods, and had been able to send
him to a mining college, he might
have evolved into a top-notch
mining engineer, for nature had
given him a bright and retentive
mind; but all the schooling he ever
had in mining was the talk he
heard from miners and psuedo-
mining men, as they rehearsed
their “science” around the box
stove, in the old Waldo store, or
around the mining bunk houses;
he absorbed it all and thought he
was learning something.
I knew Johnny at the Monumen
tal mine when he was “flag man”
for the mine survey crew. His
talk was nearly all surveying, for
that was one of the requisites of
a mining engineer, and Johnny
was a mining engineer in embryo.
But I must hasten this letter.
So Johnny evolved into a min
ing engineer and was just as good
a one as the most who have blessed
our shores with their knowledge.
When Johnny was talking you
could always hear him; in that
way he was obstreperous. He
wanted to be noticed, up in front,
esteemed; in that way he was ob
trusive. Outside of these two
faults I never heal'd or knew of
anything that wasn’t good about
him.
How many of us who have few
er faults, if we wish to designate
those two things as faults. To me
they seemed, at times, almost
lovable jn Johnny; at least amus
ing. That is a great accomplish
ment: to amuse our fellow kind.
Johnny sought his living among
our mines and twas there that
death sought him.

is lodged in a snug building just
back of the Kerby school house
and books are let out two after
noons a week, free of charge, by
librarians who donate their time.
Although the books are shabby
from their many moves, there is
much good reading among the old
books, and many good and newer
ones are finding their way to the
shelves every month through do
nations.
The school children, especially,
are enjoying the proximity of the
library to their school house, and
the present library board is mak
ing an especial effort to procure
good children's books. There are
also a number of excellent refer
ence books on a variety of sub
jects.

Need a Traffic Lane be
Painted to Govern mv Actions?

Grubstake lA»an Close
Saturday, February 19
No, the rules regarding traffic
lanes must be observed even
though the lanes are divided only
by imaginary lines, This rule is
easy to observe on a two-lane
highway where there is no center
stripe. In this case you simply
drive on the right half of the
highway except when passing an
other car going the same direc
tion.
On a city street which is wide
enough for four lines of traffic,
you should drive as close to the
right-hand edge of the street as
possible except when passing an
other car, or when preparing to
make left turns, in which case you
should occupy a position just to
the right of the center of the
street. Remember that you can
be a “line-straddler” even where
no lines are painted.
