Sea Rats Not a Success.

The Mineola has reached San Fran
cisco in safety with the second log raft
to successfully make the trip down the
coast. As In the case of the one taken
down a year ago, the weather was ex-
ceptionally favorable, as the ocean has
been like mill pond for weeks.
Inasmuch as there are only rare per-
iods when the waves are harmless, the
success of this method of transferring
timber is as yet rather limited. Two
RATS have been lost, and two have
gone through in safety. A system
that necessitates waiting year for a
favorable chance to operate it. can
hardly be called success. Ledger

Uncle Sans Pensioners.

Uncle Sans Pensioners.
The great European countries spend
vast sums of money in maintaining
their enormous armies and navies; but
it is estimated that the war expenses
of the United States are greater than
ahy of them, if we include the pensions
paid to soldiers and their widows ana
orphans.
The last report of the Commissioner
of Pensions shows that there are on
the roll $40, 524 pensioners, who receive
from the Government upon an average
of about $40 per year.
The amount of individual pensions
granted under the general laws runs
from Sc to$72 per month. Only about
eight thousand veterans receive
amounts exceeding $50 per month.
The highest rate of pensions, $72, is
granted to 1886 men.
Congress has passed special acts
allowing 500 per month to twenty
four officers high in rank and the
same sum to sixteen widows of officers.
The widows of five generals receive
$4,000 per year and one $4,000 and
the two surviving widows of Presidents
of the United States receive $4,000 per
year each.
The army of pensioners is scattered
over the whole world, no less than three
thousand residing abroad. In this
country the state of Ohio heads the
list with 105, 100 pensioners, while
Oklahoma has 1921 and Alaska has
Is.
Pensions are paid quarterly, the
drafts being sent out from eighteen
distributing centers, called agencies. "
One of the most interesting facts to
be learned from the report is that there
are still on the rolls the names of three
daughters and nine widows of Revolu-
tionary soldiers truly a foyceful re-
minder that the nation is still young.
Three of these widows are now living
in Virginia and two in Tennessee.
The war of 1912 is represented by
twenty-one survivors, averaging IN
age 90 years. Three of the number
have lived more than century.
Andrew Franklin is still living at
Burlington, Kansas, at the age of lO2,
and Hosea Brown at Grant Pass, Ore
gon, at the age of 1O9,
It probable, unless Congress rhall
pass new laws granting pensions to
all survivors of the late war. and their
widows and orphans, that the roll
will now grow smaller and smaller
every year. 1t is thirty one years
since the war ended, and all who
participated are rapidly approaching
old age. In fact the amount paid for
pensions has already fallen off more
than SIT ,000,O0O from that paid in 1898
At the close OF the fiscal year there
were pending, undisposed of and
in different stages of preparation ant
advancement, claims for Pension fo
or increases to number Of 552,2lO.
More than half of these claims were
from parties already on the roll who
want higher rate of pension than
that originally granted them.
Judging from the Report, one o

The Herald announced yesterday
that fine body of S25 ore had been
uncovered in the face of the 240-foot
drift from the Ruby incline in the Mer-
cur mine, and that the company felt
highly pleased over the fine showing
made in this magnificent property.
1t seems, however, that greater
surprise was in store for the officers
and stockholders of the company, as
letter was received from Superinten-
dent Edwards yesterday in which he
stated that the whole face of the drift
was now in ore that carried average
values of S5S.60 in gold to the ton and
that from all indications the ore body
would increase in size and value as
work progressed.
Mr.. Edwards also stated that the
large daily output from the mine was
being taken out exclusively in doing
development work only, and that not a
single man of all his force was en-
ployed in the slopes. which means that
large ore bodies are being blocked out
which can be drawn upon at future
date.
With such a showing in this mine it
is an impossibility to even form an esti-
mate of the amount of ore now blocked
out in this great property but it is
safe To say that it is good for regular
dividends for a great many years to
come. especially with such splendid
bodies of grade ore to draw from.

free milling and easily handled, so that.
1t is easy to see that the owners have
