PhARS4LI

Pharsalia, he r sent headquart CTS of the Greek army and where the Hellenes are encamped await ing attack from the advancing Turkish army, is place famous in history and may again beeo ne the scene of a battle which will make it's impress on the worlds history. It IS small town in afhessaly sur rounded by hills and noun tains and located on slope facing North. IL was here that battle was fought (B. c. 48) which decided the fate of the Roman Empire. It was here that the battle was waged which decided the fate of the first triumvi- rate and made Julius Cesar the conqueror of Pompey and ruler of Rome. Cnsar had been repulsed in an attack upon the intrenched camp Of Pompey near Dyrrachium in lily ricum. with great loss and many Of his standards were captured, and would have been completely routed but for the fact that Pompey, fear ing an ambuscade, called off his troops. This led Cesar to remark that "the war would have been at ar end, if Pompey had known how to profit by victory" Caesar then advanced boldly into Thessaly, followed by Pompey at the head of superior force. The two armies met on the plains of Pharsala, where Cesar was completely vic torious and Pompey was forced 10 flee in disguise from the field of battle, and Caesar was left sole master of the Roman world.
 History may repeat itself In the case of the Greeks. carrying out the parallel, the Greeks have retreated from Larissa to Pharsaia, followed by the superior forces of the Turks. Ou the rolling plains surrounding Pharsalia they may be as victorious as Cnsar's army.
 Let us hope that Cons tantine will show himself Julius Caesar on the plains of Pharsalia

THE GREEK RETREAT.

The Greeka have retreated from
 Lsrsssa to Pharsalia, 8 distance Of about 20 miles, where they have re-entrenched themselves and
 where, no doubt, decisive battle will be fought. Their retreat is said to have been conducted in good crder and their position strengthened. This action was taken after Acouncil of war, over which Prince Constantine presided
 and was purely strategic move for the purpose of giving their army further time aud rest after a week s fighting. They were simply not prepared to further contend against the overwhelming number of Turks on the plains surrounding Larissa and they have retreated to new quarters where their small bands will be all the better prepared to resist the onward march of the infldel Moslems. Military authorities assert that this was q very wise move on the part of the Greeks, aud that from the heights of Phar
 Slsia they can resist an army much larger in number. With General Manos advancing on Janiana and the Greek fleet attacking Saloniea, the Turkish base of supplies threat
 ened and their retreat cut off ex- cept through Miouni Pass, the Turkish army occupies anything but a comfortable and assuring position The Turks mast either administer decisive blow or thay are lost. It is apparent that the Greeks are seeking to overcome superiority in pumbers by strategy aad good generalship. IF the mean time rebellion against the Turks is likely to break out in the Balkans, and the longer Turkey is kept at bay the more likely an uprising be- comes. On the whole, we do not regard the situation as discourag- ing to the Greeks. They are pur- suing Fabian policy that may in the end bring them victory The longer a decisive engagement is postponed the better tho chances for ultimate success or the part Of tho Greeks. The Greeks arc not fools. They have been wise ip yer from the earliest ages. On the plains of Marathon (B. c. 490) ten thousand Athenians under Mill tiades put to rout one hundred thousand Persiaus.

A NEWSPAPER without enemies is scarcely deserving of friends. The vicious and lawless never like a bold, fearless, newspaper, and every self-respecting publisher should be proud of their enmity. There are other newspaper foes, however, who are far more troublesome and, con sequently. more to be feared. First and foremost is the man who owes 6 newspaper an honest debt and will will not pay ip. Then there f the ambitious mortal who wants an office and complains because the newspaper cannot consistently champion his cause; he is pretty likely 10 sbecome an enemy. But the meanest enemy Of all is the man who q newspaper has befriended, apd who deliberately condemns the sheet after securing from 1t all the assistance he possibly can. The newspaper can to some extent re- spect an open and ayowed enemy, but ar migrate, under any circum stances, is beneath contempt. = Press and Printer.
 The GRApHlo is prepared to give a world of experience on the in- gratitude of politicians. They can be found here as elsewhere, and all are cast in the same die. Whenever this class Of cattle can't use newspaper to promote their selfish ends or dictate it's policy, then they seek to destroy it. But their en- mity and ill-will usually extends no further than themselves.

THIS SPRING FLOWS COPPER.
Nond srfmI Fall of Water In the Famed
 Kootenai District.

W. F. Carson of Tacoma, travcliDg passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific, and C. Mel. Brown, the company's district passenger agent at Vancouver, have just returned from extended trips through the famed mining districts of the kootenai country and report the greatest activity, notwithstanding the advent of winter.
 '.The prospectors are sticking little closer to the camps on account of the snow,n said Mir Carson, "but other wise there is ss much work going on ss if there were not from two to three feet of snow on the ground. The Kootenai is such wonderful country that if half the ruth were told Of its mineral wealth 1t would not be credited. A recent find that has excited great deal of atten. tinn is the discovery of an actual coppes spring, HOW known as the Red Blanket. ir the Lilloeet district. just north of Spencer bridge on the Canadian Pa. cific. The water i'll solution runs 39.7 pounds of copper to 200 gallons, and 10, GOO gallons day come tumbling down the mountain side. This is tie only real copper spring that is known of with the exception of one in Idaho. and that only flows 3 pounds of the metal to the 100 gallons of water. Will liam Pritchard Morgan, a Welsh M F., prominently known ill Wales. Australia and South / frica thrs ugh his extensive mining interests. heard of the Red Bian- ket copper spring prior to his sailing from Yaneoussr with party of mining experts for .J,pan and China, Dec. 8. He was very much interested in the re- ports he received of the spring, and not only left one of his experts behind to make investigation. bGI Is said to have offered $lO0. eco for 5l per cent of 1t. :"

MUCH GIANT PONDERUSED
LEDGE ~ NEW KINGS SLIP HARD
TO CONQUER
Something About the Progress Being
Made-Too Hard a Proposition for
the Big Dredger.

Cutting a steamship slip out Of solid
coral is no easy task, as the govern
mcnt has found out i'm its work ON the
Kings slip, but patience and perse-
yerance will do wonders, especially il
aided by giant powder. Much better
progress is now being made on the
new slip than ever before. Three big
steam drills are kept busy, two on the
thirty foot level and one at fifteen
feet. Every few days a heavy blast is
set off deep in the water, and slowly
but surely the ledge is being con
qucred.
The stubborn ledge has steadfastly
resisted the attacks of the big dredger.
Again and again it's steel knives have
been dulled upon it, and while they do
make some impression on the rock.
they eat their way i'm far too slowly
TO make it pay. Giant powder is the
only sure demoralizer, and il is being
literally used in the new slip. With
the steam drills a series of holes are
bored in the rock, in such manner
that when all are filled with powder
and the blasts sent off. Il section of
the ledge about fifteen feet in width
and extending clear across the slip is
broken off and into pieces. SO far
these blasts have been very success
full from every point of view
TO remove the larger pieces of bro
ken rock Captain Smith has employed
two native divers, who go down and
fasten ropes around the fragments.
/ by means of which the winch on the
dredger hauls them to the surface and
they are loaded on scowS. After the
larger chunks of rock are removed in
this way, the dredger is started to
work on the remainder. grinding it
up and forcing it through a long pipe
to the flats inshore. IT is wonderful
how large a piece of hard rock the
dredger can digest. It is rarely nee
essary for IA second blast to be fired
at a given place.
Still the work is very slow and te-
dious. The slip, when completed. is
to run inland $50 feet from the line
of the Pacific Mail wharf. Up to the
present time the full depth of thirty
feet has only been reached for a dis
lance of twenty feet. so that there is
still great deal TO do. Captain
Smith speaks very cheerrullv Of the
outlook. saying that the work will he
completed in good time if the anpro-
priation holds out. It viii pay big
returns to the government in rentals.
