MACHINE MINING.
Gradually Becoming More Popular and
SuppIanting the Old Method.

Gradually Becoming More Popular and
supplanting the Old Method.
We notice with considerable pleasure
that machine mining may be said to be
encroaching upon the older methods of
mining in the mines of Europe. Ac-
cording to recent reports received from
scientific institutes in Scotland and
England, we find that the adoption of
the machine methods and the use of
coal cutters in the mines of the coun-
try above specified is becoming daily
more popular. This is very encourag-
ing, and it is still more encouraging
to know that the major portion of these
machines are of American construction.
We have every reason to be proud of
the fact that in mechanical methods
we lead the world. Nowhere has in
ventive genius been more prominent,
nowhere has it met with greater sue
cess in the devisement and successful
application of all kinds of mechanical
methods, than it has in this country.
1t may be said here that machine min
ing in our own coal regions is becom-
ing daily more popular if not more
necessary. In fact it is being realized
that machine cut coal can come to mar
ket, can bear a journey, can be more
successful than coal mined under the
old system. This is owing to the fact
that there is less friability, less tend
ency towards disintegration, all of
which are important points in the par
ticular virtues of coal. We are in
clined to believe that there is no par
ticular line of manufacture which has
opened before it wider prospects of
trade than that in regard to the ap-
plication of machinery, not only in the
mining but the handling of the prod
uct. We live in days when time is
money, when machinery is going to
gradually mitigate original expenses,
when it will enable those using it to
obtain far higher results in given
space of time than they could without
it, and it becomes very apparent that
it is not only needful, but exceedingly
useful. Machine mining will un-
doubtedly be the vogue for the future.

Shutting Out Bunker Hill.

So the Bunker Hill monument is in
danger of isolation? The old Charles
river bridge has for long time been in
shaky condition, and two or three
weeks ago it was officially declared to
be unsafe and closed to all travel except
to foot passengers. Now City Engineer
Jackson says that he is in doubt how
long Warren bridge-the only other di-
rect connection with Boston proper
will stand the strain. n.-Springfeld Re

The Cook In Politics.

The spoils to the victors system holds
good in France in a small way, though
not to the extent it rules in the sister
republic. Louis Tabernet, the late Pres
ident Carnot's cook, is to be replaced by
Fieuret, the chef of M. Casimir- Perier.
The new head Of the kitchen at the
Elysee is one Of the most celebrated
cooks Of the age and draws the salary Of
a cabinet minister. France is famous
for its cooks, but its supply Of cabinet
ministers has been far greater of late
years than its supply of cooks.

STUDENTS STEAL AN EDUCATION
New Form of Theft Discovered at tn,
University of Chicago.


University of Chicago.
President Harper has discovered a
new species of crime which is peculiar
to educational institutions and partic-
ularly to the university of Chicago.
This is the theft of an education. The
students this summer are nearly all
transients. Most of them are school
teachers who came to acquire new
atoms of knowledge and general pol
ishing up in pedagogical methods.
The university charges an initiation
fee of $50 a quarter for a regular
course of three majors. For each ad-
ditional major subject an additional
fee of $40 is assessed. No student is
allowed to register for more than four
and usually not more than three.
1t has been discovered, however, that
many ambitious students have been ac-
quiring knowledge on an extravagant
range of subjects by registering in only
one or two courses and taking in a
great many more as visitors. The re-
suit was that professors who had few
regularly registered students, have
been surprised by the spasmodic popu-
larity of their courses. In several
classes President Harper says the regis.
tration has been small but the attend
ance. has been immense. The presi-
dent has sent to each instructor a no.
tice which was also posted upon the
bulletin board, to the effect that no one
would hereafter be allowed to visit
classes without written permission
from the dean.-Chicago Times-Her-

What Papa Was Trying to Do.

There is man here in Washington
who fancies he is the head of his house.
There are plenty of other men who
think the same thing, too, and, be-
tween you and me, it's with the most
of them as it is with this man-merely
fancy. This particular man has sew
eral small children, and it pleases him
to discourse great deal on the train
ing of the children. A few days ago
he had friends visiting him.
His two little sons began to play
about noisily. 1t is one of his theories
that children should obey implicitly.
He wanted his friends to see how he
carried it out in the training of his
own children. johnny, he said,
sternly, stop that noise instantly.
Johnny looked up in surprise. Then
he grinned little, "Oh, Freddy"
he said to his brother, as they went on
with the noise, ''juSt hear papa trying

SMALL BEGINNINGS

Make great endfngs sometimes. Ailments that
we are apt to consider trivial often grow,
through neglect, into atrocious maladies. dan
gerous in themselves and productive of others.
1t is the disregard of the earlier indications Of
ill health which leads to the establishment Of
all sorts of maladies on a chronic basis. More
over, there are certain disorders incident to the
season, such as malaria and rheumatism, !,
against which it Is always desirable to fortify
the system after exposure to the conditions
which produce them. Cold, damp and miasma
are surely counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. After you have incurred risk from
these influences, a wineglassful or two of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters directly afterward
should be swallowed. For malaria, dyspepsia,
liver complaint, kidney and bladder trouble,
nervousness and debility it is the most de-
servedly popular of remedies and preventives.
A wineglassful before meals promotes appetite.

This Was a Good One.

Mcbride, as he joined group of
friends at the club.
eyes, you did," replied all, in con-
cert, with discouraging unanimity.
That's where I've caught you," re-
torted Mcbride, ''for it only happened
last evening, and haven't seen soul

really good one.''
''Then you haven't told it to u.s.

eyes, tell us quickly" added Skid
more, "and let us have the agony
over"
Thus encouraged, Mcbride began:
"You know, boys, little people have
sharp ears, and they are not at all
backward about telling any little
scraps of information they pick up.
This popularity has led a good many
parents to resort to spelling words
when their young children are present.
Of course that thing is of no avail after
the youngsters learn to spell. Well,
Mrs. Mcbride and I are in the spelling
stage now, and little Freddy is often
very mystified by our remarks to each
other. Last night we had our new
minister to dinner, and Freddy watch
ed the good man helping himself very
literally of biscuits. He thought it
good opportunity to put into use the
family verbal cipher, feeling perfectly
certain that the minister would find it
unintelligible. So he called out,
Mammal
What is it Freddy?' asked my
wife.
'' Mamma, isn't the m-i-n-i-s-t-e-r
a p-i-g?' spelled out Freddy triumph
antly."
The fellows had to admit that this
story about McBride's boy was really a
good one. "-Harpers' Magazine for

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED


By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness (caused by catarrh)

The Poorman mine at Burke, Idaho,

1t is not at all unlikely that this prop.
erty will close down in the near future.
It is significant that the productive
mines of Silver City, Idaho, and those
which are on the point of being pro-
ductive, are for the most part old mines
which have been big producers in the
past.
Five and one-half tons Of ore from
the Goodenough mine at Kalso, B. c.,
shipped to the Tacoma smelter, re-
turned to the owners $1,377. The car
Donates averaged 226 ounces Of silver

The Idaho Gold Mining and Smelt-
ing Company, of Butte, Mont, was re-
Gently registered to do business in Brit
ish Columbia, its chief operators being
in the Trail Creek division of West
Kootenay. The company is capitalized
at 100000.
It is learned that the Union Com
panion Mining Company at Cornu-
copia, Or, is having prepared plans
and specifications for twenty stamp
mill and that the I. B. Hammond
Company, of Portland, has the contract
for budding the mill. The site is be-
ing prepared and the mill will be
erected this fall.
Prospectors are still rushing into
Central Idaho. They find the stage
wagon road of much convenience and
it is extensively used. Many of them
are paying attention to the Iron Greek
country. That district was very rich
in placer, being worked for several
years after 1870. The gold was very
coarse and found only for short dis
tance along the creek.
The June reports Of the twelve min
eral commissioners appointed by an act
of the last congress to ascertain the
character of the public lands in Mon
tana and Idaho are being received at
the interior department. The commits
sioners are divided into four parties.
Three parties are in Montana and one
in Idaho. They have only been able to
examine and report on about 10000
acres out of a total of some ten millions
submitted for their adjudication. Com
missioner Lameroux computes that it
would take five years to merely ride
over this immense territory if they
made no stop for the examination of
the land. The appropriation for this
work is limited to $4,000 and the
monthly expenses are about $4,000.
So far about one fifth Of the land ex-
amined has been certified to be agri-
cultural.

A TUNNELING MACHINE.
Twenty Feet Per Day Is Claimed for II
by the Inventor.

Twenty Feet Per Day Is Claimed for 1t
by the Inventor.
L. REGARD, of Calaveras, CAL, has
patented and is now having built at
Altaville machine which is intended
to revolutionize present methods OF
tunneling, says the Mining and Scien-
tific Press. He claims that it will
''saw out tunnel'' at the rate of
twenty three feet per day, which, if
practicable, will materially reduce the
cost of drift work. The subject is of
interest to every miner, and if Mr.. Re-
card can give practicable and satisfac-
tory showing of his machine he has as
good thing for himself and the mining
world as has been evolved for some
time. The machine is described as
being twelve feet long, four feet wide
and six feet high, and with the four
teen horsepower engine which runs it,
weighs $500 pounds. The principle
is that of a circular saw. Sixty drill
points attached to each of the two
wheels, four feet high and eight inches
in diameter make 600 revolutions per
minute; each point one-haf of an inch
apart, every revolution feeding one
eigth of an inch. The inventor says it
will cut twenty feet of 6xS tunnel in
day in the hardest rock at a cost of
81 per foot. The machine costs 81, ZOO
and requires three men to run it. The
rock is crushed as fine as wheat grains,
carried to the rear and dumped in a
car. The drill points weigh one-quar-
ter of pound each, last four days,
and are kept cool by steady stream
of water. While all things are possi-
BILE, and it would be unfair and prema-
ture to attempt discussion Of project
yet in embryo, it is to be said that
some of the inventors calculations
seem difficult of practical fulfllment.
