Iron Ore.

There is only one place ID Califor- nia, one place in Oregon and one Tn Washington Territory where iron
 ore is mined, This is rather owing to lack of suitable fuel in proximity to the ore than to lack of ore, as that has been found at a number of places where it is notyet utilized. The only iron mine being worked here in this State is at Hotsling, Placer Go. The mine produced 4,500 tons of first class iron in 1881. In 1882, 80 tons were made when a disastrous fire destroyed the works. They were rebuilt, and production is now going on, most of the iron being consumed here. The Puget Sound mine in Washington Territory has one fur mace. They employ about 225 men. The Oswego Iron Go. employs about 400 to 500 men. This company is controlled by the Northern Pacific Railroad Co, most of the iron produc

The Swimmers Discovery.

At one time Capt. Webb was in charge of q coasting vessel which sailed for Laplsnd. He noticed that while he stood shivering on deck, wrapped in furs and flannel, the Laps would go out into the ice cold water and remain there for hours. There was the secret hs was after. How was 1t that they could stand the cold so much better than he could ? He determined to learn the secret. and dreading sickness sent the vessel home in charge of the first officer. He lived with this people for six months, studied their dict, their method of living, and lived as they lived. He then returned to England, and remained for two years on the east coast of England, existing upon blubber and the skins of nsh. He has learned the secret of maintaining his normal temperature and keeping the blood in the veins and arteries ID Dearly the same state of richness in the water. He found no more blue veins, no more chilis. He Outwitted the doctors, and discovered, or at least utilized, a scientific fact.-Corr. Boston Herald.

Return of the Great Gem
 of lS12.

The discovery of another comet,
 by Prof. Brooks. of the Rochester Observatory, N. r., was recently .an- nounced. Careful observation has since shown that this is the famous comet of 1912, whose return was pre- dicted for this year by the sstronom- CTS of 1872. The comet of that year was visible to the naked eye for the period of ten weeks. It IS again rap idly approaching both the sun and the earth, and will be visible to the naked eye in few weeks. The com ct has been observed by Mir. Hill at the Davidson Observatory, in this ssItx; H Rzlsasssss taEt- sebuIous mass with star-like nucleus of the eleventh magnitude. Its appearances is very faint, so much so that star of the eleventh magnitude near by presented comparatively dazzling appearance.
 A few evenings after the discovery of this comet by Prof. Brooks, Prof. Swift, of the same observatory, and director thereof, discovered another comet in the same neignborhood- The indications are that these two comets will cross each others orbits in their progress towards tho sun. Their appearance so near together in the same field is considered as some thing surprising and significant. It is thought by some that they may throw new light upon the origin of comets and the laws by which they are governed. Both comets are being observed with much interest at all the American observatories.

One OfLiucOIn's Stories.

Secretary Lincoln has enough of
 his fathers nature to enable him to
 make good stories and to tell them

When he was in Chicago with President Arthur he, with number of other gentlemen, was enjoying an after dinner chat, when he told this story. illustrative of the craze in Chi cago for entering the plea of self defense: Three men auarreled in Q room above a saloon, when one of them fell dead from heart disease. The others were fearful that they would be charged with murder; so one went to the saloon and enticed the barten fer eut while the other carried the corpse down and placed 1t in a chair, with its head on table, as if sleeping of a drunk. When the bartender returned the two men took a drink, saying that the drunken man inthe chair would pay for it, and went away. The bartender soon shock his customer and demanded his pay. The corpse fell over on the floor and as the bartender stood trembling with fear the two men re turned with an officer. The bartender anticipating hIs arrest, quickly said, He struck ne first"

Death of g Great Inventor.

Charles William Slemens, the sci enlist, engineer and electrician, died of rupture of the heart, in London, November 20th, aged 60. The de- ceased, ten days ago, received fall, the effects of which caused his death. Charles William Seimens was bon at Lenthe, Germany, on April 4, 1923. After completing his educa- tion at Gottingen. he entered tGe Stol50rg Machine Works, and in 1843 settled in London ss a civil en- gineer. With his brother Werner he carried on his Investigations in cleo tro magnetism, and made several i'm portsnt improvements in the manu- facture of submarine cables, and the mode of securing their insulation. The firm of Seimens Brothers has constructed many of the most i'm portant existing submarine telegraph lines, and has the contract for the new Bennett-Msckay cable. The SeimeDs Brothers regeneratiVe gas furnaca and rotary furnace are of great use in the manufacture of steel. By the Seimens process the celebrated Landore mill steel Is pro duced, hundreds of thousands of tons of which are annually manufactured.
 Among the other inventions of Dr. Seimsns and his brother, with whom he was always immediately associ- ated, are the water meter, an econ omical steam engine, 8 method of gold and silver plating, the process of anastatic printing, the double cylinder air-pump. the chronometric governor, the hydraulic brake tU prevent the recoll of artillery on ships, and many other scientific in
 struments. But the invention with which Dr. Siemens' name has most recently been associated ;s the Sie- mems electric light, which is exten
 sively used in England and on the continent of Europe, especially in Paris. Dr. Siemens has held many honorary positions, and stood in the very front rank of sleetrieians. He was made doctor of civil law by l Oxford University in 1864,

Bonding Mining Property.
Alice Cary.

Among many owners of properties there exists certain sntipsthy to bonding the claims. As against q certain class this antipathy is well founded. An every camp are men who seek to obtain fas control oi properties, by bond or otherwise, who have no money themselves, neither can they command any. This class should be left severely alone.
 On the other hand, we have men who desire to purchase property for themselves or to find a purchaser, 'r.a-;l4aO soss Ss!O under favorable eireumstan ces will consummate what they 0s.deFs take. These men, when they do un- dertake an enterprise of this kind, wish to be in a position whereby if they accomplish anything that they may have tue benefit of their efforts. Such men should be encouraged. Owners should deal liberally with them. They will find it to their in- terest to do so. A reasonable length of time should be gwen them in which to take the property them selves or for a purchaser. No exor- bitant bonus" as it is termed, or even none at all should be demanded. Most owners of mining property ex pect to realize on the sale of prop erty, not from it's production, many of them being too poor to place it on a productive basis.
 When the right kind of 6 man is found, who is willing 10 spend his time and money in consummating 6 sale, that should be considered sufi- cient bonus for him to risk. while the owner should regard the chances of sale sufficient confederation for giving such a man control of the property.
 It is to the interest of ali to ecl;st m any miRing camp the aid of out side capital. It Is the only way whereby large number of proper ties can be placed upon a paying basis, thus givlrg that prosperity which can only be secured by 8 large production of ore. So long az men will stand in their own light by not placing themselves ID the proper po- sitIon to congnmmate a sale to capi- talists, just 80 long will they fail to realize anything from thcir proper ties, just so long will we have unpro. ductive properties which little out side aid would make productive. We do not wish to be understood ss ad- vising a reckless bonding of claims to any man that presents himself. but if the right man does do not hesitate to give him 8 chance, there by adding to your own chances of wealth as we'll as to the prosperity of the camp.--San Miguel Journal.

The many veins of low grade ore and the minerals, such as copper, zinc and iron which the miner may now consider disadvantage, will, at some tlme in the development ot this industry, prove to be the most valua ble products of the mine.

How TO LOOSEN A TIGHT SCREW One of the simplest and resdiest methods of loosening a rustsd screw is to apply heat to the head of the screw. A small bar or rod of iron, fiat at the end, If reddened in the fire and applied for couple or three minutes to tho head of the rusty screw, will, as soon as it heats the screw, reader it's withdrawal as easy by the screw drIver as if 1t was only a recently inserted screw As there is kitchen poker in every house, that instrument. if heated a. its extremity and applied for a few minutes to the head of the screw or screws, will do the work of loosehing and an ordinary screw-driver will do the rest, without causing the least damage, trouble Or vexation ot spirit. In all work above the common kind where 1t is necessary to use screws, and particularly in hinge work and mouptings, fancy fastenings and appliances affixed to joinerv or furniture work, we would advise the oiling of screws or the dipping their points in grease before driving them. This will render them more easy to drive and also to withdraw, and it will undoubtedly retard for longer time the action of TustiDg.-Roeky Mouutain Mining Review.

No system of operations can make

decayed vegetable matter of some kind,

And the finer and deeper the land is

With snatches of sweet song,
Her eyes with promises are beaming,
Her smiles will rapture bring,
The sunlight from her hair is streaming
Thrice welcome, lovely SPRING.
She brings us gifts, the royal maiden,
Fair flowers to deck the bills;
With primroses her arms are laden,

Wild birds her welcome sing,
