McHcary to Burlington Next Sunday McHenry will travel to Burlington, Wis., next Sunday where they will take on the home club in the season'3 first encounter^ These two teams have had many a tough scrap during the past three seasons and the fans are alwys assured of real battle when these two clubs meet. Burlington may justly claim one of the • finest little ball parks to be found anywhere in this section and the McHenry fans always welcome the opportunity to make the trip to that city. No doubt a large following of local fans will accompany the team to the Wisconsin city.

"Nugget" I>an's wrinkled features registered mounting wrath as the lawyer and Big Charlie, manager of the Sierra Gold Dre^Wtag company, snapped assent almost in anlson. " "Right of eminent domain--we can go through your ground--riftght as well be reasonable and sell,'* the lawyer enlightened. . Nugget Dan spat slowly and turned keen gray eyes on Big Charlie. "Yo'r comp'ny has millions to my pennies, I reckon," he drawled. "And I got a moughty slim chance in the courts." "Tou are behind the times," grinned Big Charlie. "Our dredge will take out thousands while you tinker with your pan for a few dollars a day." Nugget Dan gnawed off a fresh bite of plug. "What you offferin' mer he queried. "Five hundred dollars," from Big Charlie. "Five hundred dollars!" ejaculated Nugget Dan, wiggling his tongue over broken teeth. "Why, this yere ground is wuth full $10,000 If she's wuth a cent. She's wuth more. Don't believe Til sell fer a cent less." "Then," announced the attorney, briskly, speaking for the company, ••we'll make a counter offer--five hundred dollars, and fight It out in the courts!" Big Charlie nodded assent. Nugget Dan rolled a cigarette and strolled down the gravel working, plunged in deep thought, then he strolled back to the two dredging officials. "You offer me $600, and she's wuth $10,000. Yo'r dredge will go through here, llftln' sand and gravel in them big buckets, and take out $20,000 ofTn this 20 acres--if it takes out a cent I reckon I'll hold to the claim" he announced and strolled down the slope to his cabin. But the old placer miner did not Intend tot let It rest there and face a battle in the courts. That same day he went to see Taylor Whitney, lawyer of th,e old school, friend of his early mining days. "All I ast," said Nugget, "Is that you glt through a Injunction or some other breed of court order from Jedge Graham flxln' the appraisal of them experts as the lawful price 0' my ground." "Leave that to me," said his old friend. "ThatV only fair, seeing that the company has Its own expert appraisers, and I am sure Judge Graham will acced#' • week later Nugget Dan received a notice from Taylor Whitney, the lawyer, that the court had granted the order desired. The company had been served with like notice. Next morning early Nugget came out of his cabin with shovel and pan to go to work as usual In his gravel, washing the "pay dirt" in the creek until the yellow color was separated from the coarser material. As he bent at the creek he heard voices and recognised the figure of Big Charlie, with three strangers. "Hello, Nugget. Ready to get down to business. Here are our appraisers ready to sample the ground." The old miner rose slowly and extended a bony hand to each of the young men. "If you 'uns don't mind, I'll pan fer yuh," volunteered the oldtimer. "That's what we expected to ask-- if you dont mind," one of than asserted, smiling. Nugget had guessed aright--that these "newfangled" appraisers, fresh from the school of mines, expert as they were In the technique of mining, would make a sorry spectacle at the old trick of panning. Nugget set to work, smoking Innumerable cigarettes, and panned the gravel at spots indicated by the appraisers, until samples were taken at 50 spots on the 20 acres. Finally the sampling was completed, and Nugget Dan went with the appraisers to their little assay office at the dredging camp. "Samples show this ground la very rich In gold--that 20 acres ought to be worth $20,000," announced the experts. Big Charlie was surprised, but Satisfied. He wrote out a check for $10,- 000 and handed It to Nugget Dan. That afternoon Nugget drifted In to see Attorney Taylor Whitney. "How did you do it?" demanded the attorney, eyes twinkling. "Them cigarettes," drawled Nugget, as he rolled another,, "them cigarettes was loaded with special Nugget Dan mixture, part terbaccy, part gold dust. 1 smoked one fer every pan." "You old son-of-a-gun 1" "Wouldn't a done It," declared Nugget Dan, earnestly, "If I wasn't sure them hell-diggers would glt their money back from that air claim.

Geology shows that from the Cambrian to and through the Paleosoic ages the surface of the earth was dotted with volcanoes as thickly as the rind of an orange Is covered with pores. At that time the crust of the Kith was considerably thinner. . ^ j (p* |ef e) ^Inoua 8001 sn «,«op SIM Oil Jno MQSM4 «>•} TO* xsnT<n*J &I3A )ou 8jb sn ;o emog •serog pejiuQ aqj jo lainsBej) jsjb fifcmH i««q»iw JO jstn «i iiw "nop •M) e<n nuopt aoBj asoq* vsm ma **ip>amU9i ** McHenry Country Club C.
