A Problem in Arithmetic.

have a sqaure field of 25 acres ;what is the
diagonal?
A solution Of the above has been asked,
and that the rule for the solution be given.
1t is as follows: An acre CONTAINS 100 square
rods, and % acres contain 1000 square rods.
Find the square root of 1000, and then apply
the rule on page 2S5 in Rays Arithmetic, Sd
Part. AS the field is square, the base and
perpendicular will be of the same length.
The answer in this case will not be exact, as
the decimal will be endless. The hypot-
enuse will be the diagonal required.

Tunnel Driftings.
Simpson Shaft.

They are shipping
| ore daily from the
Simpson Shaft.
The Marshall coal mine Of Boulder coun-
ty. Col, ships 5000 tons per month.
| The imports of iron into the United States
in 1884 were 553, SO6 tons, valued at $1,317,-
546.
The three men that were found missing
from the mines returned by different trains,
from the north, and are at their posts again.
| Sloss Furnaces at Birmingham, Ala, are
both running successfully, averaging about
100 tons per day.
| One year ago the Ore and Steel Company
proportions went into the hands.of a Receiv-
er. There is no doubt but the property will
| be out of the Courts in very short time,
| and will be run to its full capacity. The
Vulcan is leased. Good for Carondelet!
The yield of the Franklin mine of Michi-
gan In 1884 was BIAS ,652 lbs. refined copper.
1t is currently reported that sales of first
class Lake Superior ores (hard) have been
made in Cleveland at $500 per ton.
Some Of the late striking miners, who were
earning $1.75 per day when they struck for
higher pay, are working at other mines and
| on railroads for one dollar per day. Don't
you wish you were back at your old places
again, boys?

shortly, and will try and give you full de-
scription of them. The driller boss and the
boss hostler had better be on the lookout

lights give a good light, and I hear Ben
takes delight in keeping the lamps in good
trim. Now, Ben, be careful and have your
lamp well trimmed when you are called
away, and not be like the foolish virgin that
you read of in Scripture.
There was shipped from the United States
to England last year $4,000 tons of copper.
The engine at the shaft is daisy, and the
room is decorated with pictures, birds, and
two engineers. One is a German, and the
other is an Englishman; one is called Henry,
and the other Little Dickcy. Some say Dickey
is not an Engishman because he was born
in Cornwall. Now, think il they look at
the map they will find Cornwall is in Eng
land, and therefore Dickey must be full
bred Cousin Jack Englishman. Boys, if you
see Dickey in company with the girls-Yan-
kee girls, mean-don't say anything about
those poor little blue birds that were set up
in a tree!
In a chamber in a mine in Grass Valley,
California, that had for many years been
flooded, it was found, upon renewing opera

had healed up around small rod of iron
that had been left in it, and that several
clusters of small crystals had shot out in a
fractured portion of the vein. |

Will the New Bridge be Ruined?

Ed. Reyister-1t seems to me the new iron
bridge will soon be ruined if people are al
lowed to continue driving over it so fast.
They now trot teams and gallop on horse
back. This should be stopped. The coun-
ty court should put up notices and make an
order-and fine fast driving. If carefully
used it should last fifty years, but this way
it is likely to be ruined in five years.
Then, the approaches should be made even
and smooth.
Can't Judge Russell show his 'stne italian
hand" at putting the approaches in shape?

As to Mr.. l.. HI. Bowling.

Last week appeared in this paper a COM
munication defending the above named gen.
tleman (?) in his course at Belleview, while
in charge of High School, gotten up by the
good people Of that section, at his earnest
and persistent solicitations. Mr.. D. and his
wife took charge of the school, and all are
agreed that it was excellently conducted
and the pupils made rapid progress.
Also, that Mrs. D. proved herself an es-
| Unable, accomplished and refined lady. II
Bowling had been of the right sort, the
Belleview High School would be running to-
day, with an assurance Of success not often
given to new institutions. The people were
friendly to it, and liberal in their aid. I'm
fortunately for all concerned, the principal
was not of the right sort, the school is no
more, and he dwells far away from the scene
of his late venture. If one-half alleged
against him is true-and the allegations
come from those whose truthfulness and
honesty have never been questionable is
a scoundrel against whom other communf-
ties ought to be warned. To this end we
pen the present article.
Before his appearance in Belleview, Dowl-
ing came to Ironton with the announced pur
pose of starting High School here, but
meeting with greater encouragement in
Belleview, he, as above stated, chose the
latter as his field. But while here, he or
ganized lodge of the Knights and Ladies
of Honor, which is still in existence. There
are about fifteen members, not one of whom,
after their experience with him, would trust
him in any pecuniary transaction, or take
his word for anything. He lied and misrep.
resented to every member, and finally left
the lodge with the treasury depleted and
his own pockets well lined. "N. G." is about
the mildest epithet some of the members ap-
ply to him.
As to his Belleview escapade, we desire to
say little, except that in his unseemly and
hasty flight he confessed his guilt. If an in
nocent man, he would certainly have remain
ed until the cloud upon his character had
been dissipated.
No! no! Mr.. Lee H. Bowling will not do;
and we warn the public against his pc
culiar methods-after having waited long
and patiently for his vindication at his own
hands, according to his own request. Hav-
ing failed to vindicate his character, he cam
not blame US for coming to the conclusion,
after lapse of two months, that he has no
character to vindicate. And we know a dis
eliminating public will not believe that our
Judgment is warped by the fact that the par
ty in question is "ahead" of the REGISTER
establishment to the tune of about eight
dollars!

no MONEY TO LOAN.

Only the Cash Required TO Prove Up on
Prescriptions and Homesteads Will bc
Advanced.
The article in reference to the mat
ter published in Saturdays TINES
seems to have been misunderstood, as
at least a dozen persons have since
called at this Office to borrow money
on "real estate" desert claims, and
other property. A repetition of the
main points of the article is therefore
necessary.
An Eastern capitalist wishes to as
sist pre-emptors and home. steaders
who have resided on their land at least
six months and have taken steps to
improve it, to obtain title from the
government. To that end he will
advance the amount required (*1.25
per acre and SIS additionally on time,
at IL per cent per annum interest,
taking mortgage as security.
This is certainly plain enough to be
understood. The capitalist does not
wish to loan on any other terms.
As soon as rs settlers shall have APP
Piled for a loan (either individually
or collectively, the money will be
forthcoming.
In the meantime, all that would be
borrowers need 10 do is to send their
names to the TINES Office, together
with note about as follows:
