John Hovland, president and
manager of the Unicorn com
pany, spent the week in town
and reported that development
activities will be continued on
the Unicorn property two or

Reminiscent of the Dutch
man’s gun that would shoot
around a corner, the loflty
smokestack of the lumber mill
developed last week a curious
three-way slant that caused
some observers to' rub their
eyes and wonder if they were
“seeing things.” For some
feet above the roof the big iron
stack extended upward in iche
normal manner, I hen veered
sharply to one side for some
few feet before continuing its
upward course at still another
angle far from the perpendic
ular. Some one described it as
“like the hind leg cif a dog.”
The curious appearance was
caused by the sudden buckling
of the stack as a result of
weaknesses in the metal in
duced by rusting. That ithe
strangely kinked pipe did not
fall was due to it being upheld ,
by the gin-pole used to raise '
and lower it in spring and fall.
The broken segments were
removed Wednesday.
Stone Age Mine Discovered
What is believed to be a very
ancient mine has been discov
ered at Inyanga in Southern
Rhodesia. Workings have been
found where ancient miners de
scended 25 feet. Stone chisels
and hammers have been found,
and also a stone melting pot,
which still contained traces of
molten gold. Piles of rich ore
were found lying on 'the sur
face ready for crushing. This,
with other indications, points
to a sudden interruption which
ended work.
According to the “Morning
Post,” the finders have located
several reefs, which the an
cients had not touched, giving
assays, it is asserted, of up
ward of several ounces of gold
to the ton.In addit
ion to the rich ore lying on the
surface, there is approximately
200,000 tons of lower grade
which the ancients did not
thing worth milling, but which
is now expected to prove of
value.—The Mining World.
