For Jimmy has put all the old heads

double his lifetime In making pruning

Over the entrance to the prluclpid
mine of a lead company In Arizona
hangs a portrait of "Antonio, the
Cave Finder,” an employee who roams
abuut the underground passage puff­
ing cigarettes, says Popular Mechan­
ics Magazine. He keeps close watch
of the smoke us It drifts away, and
if he sees it disappearing through
tiny breaks In the rock formation,
the workings are extended In that
direction, which often leads to Inner
caves, rich In ore. Minerals In this
region seem to have been deposited
in cavities which lie In un approxi­
mately horizontal plane. The mine
Is said to have been enlarged by
more than half a mile In this manner.
Tunnels are driven under the caves
and the ore Is dropped directly Into
the curs that carry It out of the mine.
