EUREKA, Nev. Dec. 11. -Even
in a desert one can be “between
the devil and the deep blue sea,”
.and a miner can have this exper
ience as well as a sailor.
Not long ago Nym Delaney was
drihing and blasting at Fish Creek
Wells in the new molybdenum
claims. The rock was so hard that
one of the partners said he needed
ip strap on the handle of his ham
mer t0 kqen it from bouncing
iaway from him when he hit the
ldrill. Even with that kind of drill
pv. the genuine hard rock mines
con put his holes down and c nan ye
drills without missing a stroke.
I so presently Nym had his hole:
jdrilled and loaded. After lightinf
■the fuse he shouted “fire” to giv<
! warning to his helper, who wa:
! working at a fairly safe distance
and who had had plenty of shel
iter.
Nym ran and hid behind a rocV
There on the rock was a big rat
'tier neatly coiled and angry at be
ling disturbed. There was the fus
burning in the near distance an
jthe rattler in the nearer distune*
Again he ran and faster, withou
jstopping to shout fire, and. wit
none too much time to spare, es
| eaped both the “deep sea” th
dynamite which was about to es
I pend its force and the "devil” ths
had possession of the best she]
'ter The affair ended safely for a
oncemed.

TOWARDS SUCCESS- I
JUST ADRIFT— OR A STEADY PULL?
THERE is a certain school of thought which
says, “Eat, drink and be merry for tomor
row we die”. But when the hapless morrow
comes, the insouciant philosopher, money
spent, rather wishes he had been a little less
“merry” and a little more saving. |
The hand-to-mouth life is mere drifting. It
is only consistent saving that pulls you to
ward your goal in life. “Pick up your oars”
by opening an account with us.
Bank of Seward j
We pay 4 per cent interest compound semi- |
annually on all savings accounts.
