Everybody who knows or has had
dealings with or who knows MIR
friedrich Irwin, manager of the Black
Jack mines, will regret it if Mr.. TWINS
resignation, forced upon him by some
of the Pittsburg owners of the prop
erty directing the laying out of furth-
er development work at the mine of
which the manager could not approve.
1t appears that.some months ago VT.
Irwin began cutting out a station in
the tunnel for the purpose of sinking
deeper and that a representative of one
of the owners visited the property and
ordered him to suspend work upon it.
He then returned home and advised
the owners not to have the shaft sunk,
but to run long incline connecting
tunnel from near the mill to cut the
vein at a much greater depth than the
present lower workings. The owners,
it seems, adopted this advice and di-
rected the manager to begin the work.
Mr.. Irwin, believing this plan very
unwise one, at once forwarded his res
ignation. We hope and believe that it
will not be accepted and that the order
to start work upon the incline will be
rescinded. They are a sensible and
| tactical coterie of gentlemen, the own
ers of that property, and we can only
imagine that when they meet to con-
slider that resignation, one of them will
get on his feet and make a speech
which will read something like this !: |
Gentlemen We sent that young man
put to Idaho to take charge of that |
before we knew whether we |
mad mine or not. 1t is fact that he |
'ound the mine for us. He has made |
money for us and has proven his abil-
ty and competency. Let us assume
hat he knows better how to make
lew developments on the property
han we. | move that we rescind the
rider given and ask him to withdraw
lis resignation" Such a motion
viii carry, we are sure.

Manager Fisk, of the Big /, reports
everything satisfactory in that prop
erty. He has received the new sheive
and rope, ordered some time ago. and
will now be able to do development
work at greater depth than he has
yet done. A new engine and boiler
would be put in at once if it were not
so d ifficult to get them into the camp
at this season of the year. Mr.. Barry
thinks it will be July before he can
promise to deliver them to the COM
pany. On this account there will be
no enlargement of the working force
at present, but when the new machin-
cry comes the company intend putting
the mill in working order, increase the
force and make the Big one of the
great producer of Owyeee.

DeLamar and Silver City had

DeLamar and Silver City had no
mail on Wednesday. In fact when a
little exertion or the exercise of little
practical sense is required to get the
stage in, our camps are liable to go
without mail. On Tuesday night
there was little snow-slide in the can
yon north of Boonville and, instead of
driving over the solidly packed snow
in its swath, the stage manager going
out attempted to break three miles of
new road through three to five feet of
new snow. Of course he did not get
out and the incoming stage did not get
in. A drove of beef cattle came over
the slide without any trouble.

shaft than they will be able to handle
with their present pumping capacity.
Fifteen men are employed in the mine.

LueRIcATlNe A WATCH.
No OtheT Piece of Machinery VIII Run
So Long After a Single OiIIng.

No OtheT. Piece of Machinery VIII Run
So Long After a Single Oiling.
Very few of the millions of people
who carry watches realize TO what a
powerful extent fabrication is de-
veloped. and what an extraordinary
number of turns the balance wheel
makes with one oiling, says the Phila-
delphia Record. A Chestnut street
matchmaker, whose knowledge of these
wonderful pieces of mechanism is not
exceeded by any man in this city, has
made up an interesting table of COM
parison to show the perfection of lubri-
cation in a watch.
A watch will run on one oiliEg from
year TO year and half. Every min
ute the balance wheel turns on its
axis $50 times, and $1,000 times in an
hour. Accepting the year as the time
the ordinary watch will run with one
oiling, he finds that if the driver of a
locomotive was as well oiled as bal
ance wheel of watch, it ought to rim
60 miles an hour day and night for
GAS days, or well on to two years, with
one oiling. In that time it would
traverse a distance equal to nearly four
times the circumference of the earth.
In view of the fact that in reality
few locomotives will run one day with
out reoiling, he maintains that the
matchmaker has developed his art to a
far greater degree Il an the locomotive
builder has yet been able to reach.

HUGE KITES TO AID SCIENTISTS.
A Princeton University Party TO Ex-
pIore the Famous MOsas Cliffs.

Prof. William LIBBY, of Princeton
university, accompanied by several sci
entists of repute, has begun an explora-
ton of the famous Mosas cliffs in the
United States Indian reservation of
New Mexico. 1t is expected that the
task will require many weeks for its
completion.
Prof. Libby, who is geologist and
an Arctic explorer, conceived the idea
of attempting to investigate this dis
trict years ago. but no means offered
itself until William j. Eddy. of New
York, perfected his kite machines for
aerial transportation. Mr.. Eddy has
built a contrivance formed of four huge
kites arranged in square, four feet
apart. These kites can be sent up in
the air to height of 500 feet. The APP
paratus was sent by express to the
scene of action and an expert in their
use sent by Mr.. Eddy TO fly them, un.
der Prof Libbys directions.

Obey.

Obey.
Il had a queer experience with a
gripman on Mount Auburn cable car
this morning." said Fifth street cigar
dealer to a Cincinnati Tribune man.
'.You know there is a sign in the car
which reads: Don't put your feet on
the seats or something to that effect.
Probably they were afraid that you
would scratch your shoes on 4he rough
seats. Anyhow, the signs there.
'On the car there was but one other
passenger, evidently a friend of the
gripman. He was sitting in the seat
next to the official, and the two enjoyed
long and animated discussion con-
corning the system of transfers soon to
go into operation over the new extern
sion of the Oak street line. In careless
way l had placed my foot upon the seat,
or rather my toe was against the edge,
but in no danger of harming the wood
work. The gripman reached over and
in an authoritative tone said:
"'Yous must take yer feet off the seats.
See the sign? Them's our orders from
headquarters, and we must obey them
lis that SOP said /. DO you obey
all the orders that are given out?'
Sure said he.
What's that order up there? said 1.
''Which?' said he
THAT one that says: Don't talk
to the gripman." You have been talk
ing to your friend for Is minutes and
never once told him to stop talking TO
you
He looked dazed for half minute,
and then said:
" That's one on me, partner. Let's
saw wood, and say nothin''
Then l rested my feet in peace"
