The bureau suggests that one driver may be able to get considerable more mileage than another, due to the method of driving. The mileage is greatly increased by disengaging the clutch whenever possible and, in approaching a heavy grade, sufficient momentum should be obtained to carry the vehicle a considerable distance up the grade before making it necessary to change the gears. Weather has a marked effect on the mileage obtainable. In general, a motor runs better at higher humidity and to the old gold mine yields. Wealth to aged Kansas.

Hays, Kas.—From the depths of an abandoned gold mine in Colorado, where others had searched in vain, fortune again is smiling on I. M. Yost, formerly of Hays and one of the most widely known business men of western Kansas. Profits estimated from $150,000 to $200,000 have come from this old shaft in the Breckenridge district, a sudden outpouring of wealth to one whom fate has dealt with in an uncertain fashion. Reports received here say Yost has rejected an offer of $400,000 for his holdings. A Hays business man who was in Denver recently brought back a report that Yost had made the richest gold strike in the state in the last twenty-five years when he played a thousand to one chance in developing the abandoned mine. A query to Yost brought the following telegram: "Our gold discovery one to five thousand assay to the ton. Body opened and proved. Have commenced shipping to Deadville smelter. We are in the famous."  Breekenridge district.
More than $50,000,000 have gone to mint out of this district.
